Chapter 1337: Intriguing

“You young hero. You have to be beaten for a law. This kind of thing is very worthwhile. Don’t always dodging at a young age. If you encounter difficulties, sometimes you should go straight up.”

Tang Hao glanced at Fang Xuanling in surprise. The old guy didn’t even blink his eyes. Li Zhi was the legendary big devil right now, who would provoke him if he was full.

I don’t want to be beaten when I wear official uniforms. Duan Hong urged: “You two should be quicker, your majesty is already waiting in a hurry.”

Tang Hao and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and followed Duan Hong into the Great Hall. The emperor sat behind the case, looking at the two people who came in with a smile.

“The two Qings, see what’s wrong with me, come quickly.”

Tang Hao turned his eyes and found that he was the only one standing in the middle. Fang Xuanling was already sitting on the mat next to her, kneeling upright with the guard board, and a thought-provoking smile appeared at the corner of the emperor’s mouth.

Tang Hao quietly took two steps towards the retreated, holding the wat board, gritted his teeth and said, “Your Majesty, the minister is here today for your purpose in the day. The minister heard that your majesty ordered the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu to Deciding what is a luxury product and preparing to impose a triple tax rate, Weichen thought it was inappropriate.”

“Shut up, your salaries are all people’s fats, food and clothing, all the people’s blood and sweat, and the ministers don’t think about sharing the worries of the king, and the government is an official, and I don’t know how to sympathize with the people’s suffering. I have made all kinds of strange things and shamelessly searched for the people’s life-saving money and food. My will is determined. Let me talk about it. If you dare to talk about the tax rate, I will double the tax rate again. I would rather destroy these useless ones. Kit Kat, I don’t want to see you sit back and enjoy it.”

Li Zhi’s attitude is very firm.

“Your Majesty, please listen to Weichen’s words. This will…”

“Fang Xiang noted that the luxury goods tax has increased four times.” Li Zhi decisively ordered Fang Xuanling.

“Your Majesty, no, Weichen just wants to…”

“Fang Xuanling, you heard it too. He said another sentence, and the tax rate has increased sevenfold.” Li Zhi sneered and put his hand on the case, waiting for Tang Hao to speak again with expectation.

Tang Hao stopped talking, took out the charcoal pencil from his arms and calculated it on the wat board, and then the cupped hands said to the emperor: “Your Majesty, the tax rate is really wrong, you always have to listen to the ministers, no… .”

Li Zhi smiled and said: “The former is not counted. After the two sentences, the tax rate will be doubled. Boy, there is a kind of, you continue to say, I really don’t care about those who ruin those shit things, there is no such thing, Datang said. It may be better. Nine times the tax rate depends on how you operate.”

“You have the ability to sell your purse for one hundred silver coins.”

“Your Majesty, the tax rate is not calculated this way, you are mistaken…”

“I’m so brave, the tax rate is twelve times, you plan to break the jar and break it?” Li Zhi was a little surprised. Could it be that Tang Hao really didn’t care about these shops? This is the biggest source of income for their family.

Tang Hao and Fang Xuanling looked at the Huban and looked at the numbers calculated by the other party. Fang Xuanling stretched out three fingers to Tang Hao.

Tang Hao nodded, holding the wat board and said: “I didn’t plan to break the jar, I just want to manage it well. The handcrafts are passed on from generation to generation.”

After speaking, he stared at the emperor’s reaction. Li Zhi noticed that Tang Hao and Fang Xuanling’s communication was not right, so he closed his mouth and did not order.

Fang Xuanling stood up and said: “In reply to your Majesty, General Tang said three more words just now, and the Weichen will decide. The luxury tax will be 15 times the basic tax rate, and the Weichen will withdraw.”

Fang Xuanling left, Tang Hao closed his mouth and resigned. This kind of result is the best, no one can be guilty, the mistakes are all the emperor’s, those who specialize in luxury goods also put the crime of commercial tax on the emperor’s head.

The emperor did not allow ministers to speak rationally, and General Tang, who spoke uprightly, said a few more words, and the tax was arbitrarily increased by more than ten times.

Seeing the two courtiers out of the Great Hall, Li Zhi’s face was covered with clouds, but he couldn’t think of anything wrong.

The afterglow of the setting sun passed through the rear window and shone on his uncertain face. There was an indescribable weirdness. What was wrong?

“Your Majesty, they are deliberately increasing taxes. My concubine just looked at my business tax, only to find that you have only increased three times, and the business tax is too low.” The empress on the side said.

“I only levy a tax in kind. Take the luggage that sells for twelve silver coins, your majesty has added a three-fold tax rate, but each luggage is 10 coins more, and the progressive tax rate also applies to luxury goods. In this way, increasing your tax rate has little effect.”

“Tang Hao is a sensible person, and he thought it would be inappropriate to do so, so he mentioned the luxury tax to His Majesty early. As soon as he entered the hall, the concubine found out that he wanted to increase the tax.” The empress had already figured out him. thought.

“If it is a tax cut, he will definitely be so uneasy. The tax increase will annoy your majesty, so he put on the court clothes and dragged Fang Xuanling to Fang Xuanling. I’m afraid that your majesty will attack him.”
