First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 314: Does the lord know?

"What nonsense!"

Li Shanchang yelled at him so loudly that his heart was about to jump out. He didn't dare to blame Zhang Ximeng at all now, he was even just grateful. The wealth of the Wang family is huge, and I have heard of it for a long time. They belong to the top wealthy family in Hangzhou. They also have many connections with Yuanting, and they have huge overseas trade business. They are a downright behemoth.

Zhu Yuanzhang had been eyeing the Wang family for a long time, but since there were more things to be sorted out, it was too late to start with them, so he could only provoke them.

But the Wang family is not an ordinary person. They may have felt the crisis long ago, so they tried to buy the senior officials of the Zhu family to try to keep the family business.

So he got through the door and sent the tea to Li Shanchang's hands.

This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems. How many people in the yamen work for the Wang family, including Li Shanchang's side, are those people reliable or not?

Who put the tea in?

He became a sieve around Li Xianggong, is this still worth it?

That is, Zhang Ximeng happened to be smashed. Without his involvement, Li Shanchang asked himself, and he might not be able to withstand the temptation.

But once he was bought by the Wang family and got involved with them, what would happen to him?

Li Shanchang didn't dare to say that at this time, he had a feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe. Zhang Ximeng saved him... Look at Wang Huan again, this beast tried his best to take him into the ditch, and only hated him for not dying.

You wait, the old man will deal with you hard when he turns around!

Wang Huan obviously did not expect the complexity of the matter. In his opinion, to deal with an old bureaucrat like Li Shanchang, he can only rely on beauty!

If he doesn't take the bait, it just means that you are not invested enough, maybe he doesn't believe what you say.

"Li Xiang, the villain's family's life is tied to this matter, and he definitely dare not deceive Li Xiang. Don't look at the fact that King Wu is not allowed to keep the job field, but the villain still has a way! It is guaranteed that Li Xiang can easily get hundreds of thousands of taels. , if there is a tael of silver less, Li Xiang can just kill the villain and the nine clans!" Wang Huan said eagerly.

But in Li Shanchang's ears, it is no less than a life-threatening talisman. Don't talk nonsense, the old man will destroy your nine clans now!

Li Shanchang threw off the ring and planned to leave. At this time, the women also came over, begging softly, weeping, and pear blossoms bringing rain.

Disturbing a half-old Li Shanchang, he had no choice but to look at Zhang Ximeng desperately.

You see, it wasn't my initiative, I didn't do anything, let's go!

But despite Old Li's wink, Zhang Ximeng was like a nail, nailed to the ground, motionless.

He was also very curious. First of all, he said that the matter of Shitian was denied by Lao Zhu a few days ago. Given the extent of the Wang family's hands and eyes, he shouldn't have known about it.

As for the newly proposed salary plan, since it was just announced, the Wang family did not know it, and it was reasonable.

They can swear to raise the issue of job fields, that is to say, there are still huge loopholes that have not been filled.

Compared with killing someone, Zhang Ximeng cares more about how to fill in the gaps and solve the loopholes, especially this kind of thing related to finance and taxation, which is what Zhang Ximeng cares about the most, and he winks at Li Shanchang.

Old Li is not a fool, and he also guessed Zhang Ximeng's thoughts.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the mood of Zhang Ximeng. Although Lao Li is in charge of finance and taxation and belongs to Zhu Yuanzhang's big housekeeper, he is more concerned about this kind of thing, but now is the time to die, Master Zhang, can you put away your curiosity?

Let's take down the Wang family, and then slowly interrogate, what else can't be asked?

However, Li Shanchang is not the master of this matter, he can only bite the bullet and say: "This old man is honest and self-righteous, never greedy and perverted the law, like you, disobeying the king's law, sooner or later will be punished by heaven!"

Wang Huan was shocked. It was true that Li Shanchang was no better than the officials he had met before, but since Li Shanchang was still willing to listen to him, it meant there was hope.

Are there people in this world that money can't buy?

"Li Xianggong, this matter is not the matter of Li Xianggong alone, it is really a loophole in the rules set by the King of Wu, even if Li Xianggong is not greedy or occupying, others will start, since everyone is like this, why should Li Xiang be different? "

"You fart!" Li Shan was so angry that he cursed, "What do you think of King Wu's officials? Even if the old man is not talented, there are still Zhang Xianggong and other people. Are they all greedy and perverting the law? "

Not bad, at this time, Li Shanchang still remembers to flatter Zhang Ximeng.

But Wang Huan was full of disdain, "Zhang Xianggong is just a nerd. No matter how well written the article is, he has no knowledge of government affairs. He is not much better than Zhu Xi!"

Okay, what a big breath!

When he said this, Zhang Ximeng's eyes suddenly became severe, and then he was silent, just staring coldly at the back of Wang Huan's head.

It's been so long, and I haven't seen someone so eager to die. Let me take a look. How far can you go?

Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment, and even became curious. This time, not only me, but even Zhang Ximeng was despised. Li Shanchang's mood was actually better.

"What exactly do you mean? Wu Wang's subordinate martial arts, in your eyes, are all so unbearable?"

Wang Huan knelt and climbed forward for half a step, he straightened his back, and he was so solemn.

"It's good to let Li Xiang know... Although King Wu is not allowed to have money for employment, but the local yamen still needs to operate, and it also needs daily expenses. Moreover, King Wu has opened the imperial examination, and the number of local clerks has greatly increased compared to the past. All this requires An astonishing amount of money, food, finances and taxes can only be supported.”

"The villain also learned that when he was in Huaixi, the King of Wu used grain to collect local fields and **** the treasury. In addition, he set up military camps to fill the military rations. Soldiers fought bravely to take the lead, and the people were eager to transport food, so that the prosperity of the King of Wu has been achieved today!"

It really deserves to be a wealthy family, this Wanghuan actually explained the secrets of Zhu Family Army's financial and taxation in a few words. But think about it, don't be too surprised.

With the strength of the Wang family, they will definitely help the Yuan court to collect taxes, whether it is field taxes, water grains, or business taxes, they have all come into contact with them. Anyone with a little common sense knows that Yuan Ting indulged the merchants and tycoons. To put it bluntly, these people were all officials and businessmen, and they knew how to operate the government, and it was nothing unusual.

"Li Xianggong, there is a saying that the king who thrives in this way will die in this way. Using grain for the long march and transporting grain with the people's husband has indeed saved a lot of trouble, and also a lot of officials. It seems that if the profit is temporary, the King of Wu will definitely not. It will be easily abolished. But the grain chief must not be an official, so there is no way to send the finance and taxation to the imperial court layer by layer.”

"From now on, the villain knows that there are many grain chiefs in Chuzhou, Hezhou and other places, and they only need to send the tax grain to Yangzhou, without going through the Ministry of Household. And some of these tax grains must be kept. For local use, as the territory of King Wu becomes more and more vast, the number of people and acres of land increases, and there will be more and more taxes and grains retained for transshipment... As wise as Li Xianggong, I will not fail to understand how many people can do something here. Missing."

Wang Huan didn't seem to think it was enough, and continued: "King Wu was born in poverty, how much has he ever seen? Zhang Xiang is young, and he doesn't know about firewood, rice, oil, and salt. The Juntian he tinkered with is quite clever, but after Juntian , isn’t it still necessary to levy land fu? Since it is necessary to levy land fu, someone has to do it, and it will involve how to distribute these land fu..."

Wang Huan talked eloquently. After digging Li Shanchang, he despised Zhang Ximeng, and now he still despised Zhu Yuanzhang... He successfully completed the three kills, and on the way to death, he rode a rocket and dashed wildly.

He was also complacent and even came up with a specific solution.

"Li Xiang only needs to set aside a part of the land, which will be counted as the expenditure of the local yamen. He ordered the chief of grain to be used by the Hangzhou yamen and the surrounding military officials. In this way, the imperial household department will not be able to manage these fields. King Wu There, as long as the food delivered to Taicang is guaranteed to be sufficient, he will take care of other things flawlessly. And how to deal with these lands, and how to make money to make money, does not depend on the means of the villain! At that time, as long as there are many kinds of mulberry trees, more Building a tea garden, and then relying on overseas trade, the money earned from the barbarians is more than hundreds of thousands!"

...

"say no more!"

Li Shanchang suddenly shouted angrily, interrupting Wang Huan's words, his body was already shaking.

Wang Huan also thought that he was persuaded, unable to control it, and needed to be quiet, so he obediently shut his mouth and waited for Lao Li to surrender to his gold and silver offensive.

Don't look at me kneeling now, you are standing.

As long as you take my money and do things for me, then you, Prime Minister Li, will kneel down!

After so many years, are there still few officials settled by our royal family?

No one can stand up to this.

Li Shanchang was indeed frightened, but he understood the exact opposite of Wang Huan.

Zhu Jiajun has developed to this day, and the fiscal and taxation system is in urgent need of upgrading.

For a while in the past, Zhang Ximeng didn't ask about this.

As a result, a king's family emerged, and he also came up with the means of how to accumulate wealth.

For Lao Li, this is almost an incomprehensible thing.

Did you, Li, do it on purpose?

How much have you been greedy for?

What bad things did you do?

Li Shanchang's head was buzzing. If this was passed on to Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, wouldn't he have smashed his corpse into ten thousand pieces?

"Insanity!"

Old Li only said these two words and left, Wang Huan was shocked, he didn't understand, why Li Shanchang didn't take the bait when he offered such a high price?

Did you guess wrong?

"Li Xianggong, the life and death of our royal family are all on your body, and I hope Li Xianggong must not abandon the villain. Villain, the villain has several golden Buddhas in the temple, and the largest is full of 10,000 taels of gold! People have 50,000 mu of mulberry fields under the temple property, which can also be dedicated to Li Xianggong! All in all~www.readwn.com~As long as Li Xianggong..."

"Go away!"

Li Shanchang didn't want to listen at all, there were enough reminders, and now he just wanted to dispose of the Wang family quickly.

Seeing that he couldn't buy Li Shanchang no matter what, Wang Huan gritted his teeth, but he actually stood up from the ground, looked at Li Shanchang viciously, and sneered: "Prime Minister Li, do you think the Wang family is just a dog, you killed us, these The property is also yours?"

Li Shanchang just snorted, too lazy to speak, do you still want to threaten the old man?

Overcome!

Wang Huan gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Li Xiang, as long as you promise to let us live, everyone can live in peace, that's the best! If you don't want to, there are people from our family around this garden now. The villain doesn't have any other skills, so he can still hold you, Li Xianggong, and go to Suzhou!"

Is this about to rip the skin off?

Li Shanchang looked at Zhang Ximeng, who had been silent for a while, he said slowly: "Zhang Xiang, you have been listening for so long, when you come, I will ask you to prepare your staff, so as not to arrest both of us, do you have any arrangements? "

Zhang Xiang!

Wang Huan was stunned, and then he noticed that the young man dressed as a servant turned out to be Zhang Ximeng? Did he hear what he just said?

Zhang Ximeng smiled lightly, "Brother Li, I don't know who is suitable for us to protect the two of us, so I asked Zhu Ying to send a message to the lord, thinking that the lord will act."

What?

Did Zhu Yuanzhang know?

This time, not only Wang Huan, but even Li Shanchang felt that five thunders hit the top... Zhang Ximeng, you don't talk about martial arts!
