God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Everyone followed Changsun Wuji, left Sikong Mansion, and hurried to the palace.

When they came to the Imperial Study Room of Taiji Hall, Changsun Wuji led everyone and explained the matter briefly.

Li Er listened, took out a memorial from the table, and handed it to Zhangsun Wuji: "My dear family, I know what you want to say, but Wei Shuyu issued the decree of Hu County, and sent the memorial to the palace a few days ago. , I agreed after reading it. Earlier, didn’t you say that if a large number of people moved out of Huxian County, it would cause panic all day long? I thought it would be best to restrict the sale of family property by the gentry. Let’s leave the conversation behind. This method is the best. It can solve the problem and collect taxes at the same time. Why not do it? Du He mentioned to me that in extraordinary times, we must use extraordinary means. Today’s Huxian County has reached an extraordinary stage. Time, so what if you use extraordinary means!"

What?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

His Majesty knew about this and agreed.

So what else is there to say about this matter.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Er waved his hand: "Auxiliary machine, if you are free, go down first."

Everyone look at me, I look at you, all retreat.

When everyone left, Zhao Yang, who had been standing by Li Er's side, couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty is wise, many people call for His Majesty to rule the world with the gentry, these gentry really think that the world has their part, but they don't know , This world is only the world of His Majesty, what Du Consort and Wei County Magistrate have done in Hu County is a good start! Facts have proved that as long as there are means, the gentry are not justified at all!"

Li Er looked at Zhao Yang in surprise.

What this guy said is quite reasonable.

However, Li Er still gave him a hard look: "Zhao Yang, if you talk nonsense in the future, I will never forgive you!"

"Yes, this slave deserves to die, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Zhao Yang was startled, he was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits.

Li Er fell into deep thought.

What he was concerned about was actually not the new decree promulgated by Hu County.

It's the Taxation Bureau of Hu County.

The Taxation Bureau collects taxes. The standard is actually very simple. No matter whether you are an ordinary person or a wealthy businessman, as long as you make more than ten guan a month, you will have to pay one-twentieth of your income.

And this is different from the way the Tang Dynasty collected taxes in the past. The most direct thing is that the gentry, especially the famous gentry in various places, do not need to pay taxes at all.

The tax bureau just broke this practice.

However, Hu County was first guarded by the Guancheng Brigade, and then a new law was promulgated, which completely made everyone lose their temper.

After a while, Li Er stood up and ordered: "Go and invite Fang Qing's family, Du Qing's family, and Dai Qing's family, and let them come to the palace as soon as possible."

What Li Er was talking about was Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

That night, the three of them stayed in the imperial study, and no one knew what they were discussing.

……

Chapter 961 The Death of Mr. Niu

Hu County, county government.

First came the news from Chang'an that the bigwigs of the imperial court were planning to withdraw from Huxian County in order to deal with the taxation bureau of Huxian County.

The entire county government, from the small government servant to Wei Shuyu, the county magistrate, was very nervous.

Wei Shuyu had no choice but to go to Du He, and then according to Du He's arrangement, he first sent a memorial to Chang'an, and after getting the consent of His Majesty Li Er, he directly issued a new decree.

Now, all the merchants who were about to make a move have all died down.

A few days later, the tax bureau sent the latest results.

Wei Shuyu was dumbfounded when he saw that a total of more than 5000 taxes had been collected during this period.

Doesn't this mean that the merchants in Guanghu County pay almost [-] guan in taxes every month, and this is just the beginning. With the development of Hu County, this number will definitely continue to grow.

Wei Shuyu said with emotion: "I just sent a cow to Brother Du, which was only worth ten pennies, but Brother Du created a way to make money for Huxian County. With the Taxation Bureau, in the future, the county government of Huxian County will not Might be running out of money."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and asked, "Have you heard recently that any cattle can't think about it?"

what?

The subordinates were all taken aback.

Wei Shuyu ordered: "Quickly go and ask, if there is any family whose cattle you can't think about, just buy them, and give them to Concubine Du as soon as they are fresh."

"Yes!"

The subordinates were all dumbfounded.

……

At the gate of the county government.

A young master Pian Pian stood at the door, frantically fanning the fan in his hand, and yelled at the guard arrogantly: "Hurry up and report, and say that the eldest grandson of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has come to pay a visit to Du He, the son-in-law."

After a while, the guard came out and said, "Young master grandson, the son-in-law has been away for a few days and is not in the county government office."

"Do you know where Du He went?" Chang Sun Chong asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

Chang Sun Chong was making fun of himself, a surge of anger was born in his heart for no reason, he raised his fan, and hit the two guards head-on.

Both of them knew the identity of Changsun Chong, not only the young minister of Dali Temple, but also the son-in-law, and the eldest son of Changsun Sikong, so they didn't dare to fight back and could only be beaten passively.

Just when Changsun Wuji was beating the two of them violently, he heard a roar from the side: "Changsun Chong, what are you doing?"

Chang Sun Chong's face suddenly darkened.

In this small Hu county, how dare someone dare to call this young master by his first name?

"Who is it, looking for death?"

He turned his head, ready to pick up the fan and beat it.

I didn't know, but I was stunned when I turned around.

I saw Li Ke, King of Shu, holding a mace and staring at him with a smile.

Li Ke asked: "Do you want to fight with this king? Okay, I don't need a weapon, and I will let you have another hand. Come, let's have a good fight!"

This guy is very excited.

pat.

The fan in Changsun Chong's hand fell to the ground.
