Prince of Chaos

Chapter 319

Zhu Changluo looked at Zhang Weixian who was so moved, so he stopped beating around the bush.

After all, talking like this is tiring and a waste of time.

Zhu Changluo said: "Since the little prince also intends to serve the country, I can't deny the little prince's wish. From now on, all the taxes of the British government will be paid to the royal father's internal funds according to the taxes set by the Taizu in the early years."

When Zhang Weixian heard Zhu Changluo say everything, his crying stopped suddenly.

All taxes?What does it mean?Is there any tax other than commercial tax?
Zhu Changluo looked at Zhang Weixian, and said, "As for the land tax that the British government will pay in the future, I will explain it to the cabinet in particular, and then I will ask my father to issue an order to praise the little country's righteousness and loyalty to the country."

Zhang Weixian's crying stopped abruptly, which he never expected.

Tian Fu, how could Xungui hand in such a thing?

Even ordinary gentry families who are officials do not need to pay land taxes.

Because, this is a customary rule!

As long as you have a scholar and make a name for yourself, you don't need to pay the land tax.

Moreover, after gaining fame and fame, especially those scholars with very good rankings, there will be a large number of votes around them to volunteer for small landlords or ordinary people with land deeds.

The reason why they want to dedicate their land to these famous scholars is also very simple, that is, to avoid the land tax that the imperial court will collect.Then, pay a certain fee to the well-known scholar who is affiliated with.

If this scholar is particularly promising, and the official is so big that it scares people to death, these small landlords and ordinary people who donate can even change their names and surnames, and take the initiative to be their servants and servants.

This is why the land annexation in the Ming Dynasty was so terrible!

Such intense land annexation in the Ming Dynasty was not caused by a simple gap between the rich and the poor, but because of the unfairness brought about by taxation and status, which caused such a terrible land annexation.

Although, the imperial court also discovered such a thing of offering, and it was explicitly prohibited.

However, this matter is certainly unstoppable.

Because, as long as these officials and gentry don't have to pay taxes, there will always be loopholes for them to take advantage of.

And the end result of their cleverness and taking advantage of loopholes is that Ming Dynasty will gradually have no taxes to collect, and finally the imperial court will also frantically squeeze those poor people who only have a few acres of land in their hands because of the increasingly embarrassing financial situation.

In the end, a dynasty would collapse under such internal and external difficulties, and the emperor would have to hang himself and swing on a crooked neck tree.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty."

Zhang Weixian was stunned, what's going on?What is Tian Fu?
Zhang Weixian never dreamed that it would be Tian Fu.

He was even prepared to increase the business tax, but in the end Zhu Changluo actually said Tian Fu.

Zhu Changluo looked at Zhang Weixian who was in a daze, and Zhu Changluo said: "The commercial tax on Wanli Street is just right now, how can I collect it again? If I collect it again, wouldn't it appear that I am greedy for money and profit? Tianfu is so simple. As much as the crops are produced, the amount should be paid according to the court's land tax standard. This kind of tax saves worry and effort, and can gather a large amount of grain for the court, stabilizing the price of grain in the capital. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Zhang Weixian stammered back: "Okay. But, Tian Fu."

Zhu Changluo interrupted directly: "It's nothing to worry about. Land tax is very important, even more important than commercial tax. How stable the Ming Dynasty is depends on how much grain the land tax receives. The more grain, the more stable Daming is. On the contrary , without food, Ming Dynasty will not be stable. Once Daming is not stable, the honorable family that lived together with Daming and the country will no longer exist. Liu Yuxi, a Tang Dynasty poet, once said: "In the old days, Wang Xietangqianyan flew into the ordinary world. People's homes', does the British government also want their swallows to fly into ordinary people's homes?"

Zhang Weixian was at a loss for words after listening to Zhu Changluo's words.

He also understood Zhu Changluo's reasoning, but how to hand in the land tax?If he handed in the land tax, then how would he get along in the noble circle and the Beijing circle in the future?

Land tax is a tax paid by inferior talents!

Looking at Zhang Weixian who was so entangled, Zhu Changluo also understood that it would be very difficult for Zhang Weixian to accept this result for a while.

So Zhu Changluo clapped his hands and asked Wei Zhongxian to bring out two bottles of water.

The shape of these two bottles of water is different from the fairy happy water bottles Zhang Weixian saw in the past.

The bottle shapes of these two bottles of water are obviously streamlined and feel more rounded. Looking at the light green bottle color, it is also more pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Changluo reached out and got one of the bottles of water. He unscrewed the cap vigorously, then took a sip, and said, "It tastes good, refreshing and refreshing. It's a must-have at home. Drinking it makes you feel refreshed. Xiao Guogong should also try it."

Zhang Weixian didn't dare to neglect, he immediately opened another bottle, and then took a sip cautiously.

After drinking, Zhang Weixian was stunned, and he took another sip in disbelief.

At this time, he was sure that the bottle of water was really water and had no smell.

Looking at Zhang Weixian who had already taken two sips of water, Zhu Changluo asked, "Young Lord, how does this water feel?"

Zhang Weixian didn't dare to talk nonsense, he replied: "This water is as clear and refreshing as His Highness said, it makes the mouth water, and the taste is still unfinished."

Zhu Changluo said: "That's right, this water has the same taste, and it can be drunk directly without boiling it. Moreover, drinking it for a long time will have unimaginable benefits to the body. I am going to let Xishan Huangzhuang do this water business, I don't know Xiaoguo Are you interested in participating?"

After hearing that it was a business, Zhang Weixian took another sip carefully, and tried his best to feel and savor the taste of the water.

To be honest, apart from the refreshing and sweet taste of drinking this water, it is not as exciting as the fairy happy water.

However, after drinking a few more sips, there is still a little bit of refreshing feeling, as if sitting among the mountains and rivers and pavilions at this moment.

This feeling is very unique, and it is in line with the Confucian feeling that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

After having this feeling, Zhang Weixian's intuition told him that this business will definitely make a lot of money.

Therefore, Zhang Weixian bowed to Zhu Changluo, "I listen to your Highness."

Zhu Changluo looked at Zhang Weixian's rapid changes, and he really admired this future British princess who is extremely favored.His sense of smell and business talent are really extraordinary!
Fairy Happy Water has been making money for so many years. Although it has always made money, it is the money of those second-generation ancestors who are ignorant, incompetent, and self-motivated.

The truly elegant people still disdain to drink the fairy happy water, thinking that the fairy happy water is vulgar and does not suit their identity and temperament.

Therefore, in order to target them, Zhu Changluo specially arranged a team to tackle the problem of pure water filtration.Finally, the sky paid off, and Zhu Changluo's pure water team finally designed a set of safe and efficient pure water filtration equipment.

Now, the two bottles of water that Zhu Changluo took out are the first batch of pure water that can be drunk directly.

Zhang Weixian took another sip and asked, "What is the name of this water, Your Highness?"

Zhu Changluo said: "This water is the water of elegance, the water of a gentleman, so I call it the friendship of a gentleman. Next, I will order that all the court offices in Beijing use this water for receptions."

After hearing this, Zhang Weixian was excited, this is incredible!

Absolutely earned!
