God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

"Shut up!"

Wang Gui and other ministers shouted.

However, Du He turned a deaf ear and continued to say: "Father does not know that last month, the commercial tax of the entire Chang'an City was only a mere tens of thousands of guan. If calculated in this way, the annual tax will not exceed 30 guan. At the age of 200, the commercial tax in Chang'an City was 150 million yuan, and it has never been lower than [-] million yuan for several consecutive years... If this continues, the commercial taxation of Chang'an City this year will be pitifully low, and the national treasury will also be affected... ...I just came up with the report system, wanting to recover the losses and consolidate the national treasury, but I never thought that the adults would object one after another. It seems that you want my Tang to perish. You are really loyal and patriotic..."

Du He glanced around coldly, full of disdain.

Wang Gui's face was pale.

Changsun Wuji was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The other ministers were all shocked, and they all looked at Du He in surprise.

Finished!

This is what everyone thinks.

Originally, everyone attacked Du He and the reporting system without mentioning the poor tax collected by Chang'an City last month. The purpose was to make the reporting system disappear and Du He go away. Everyone in the imperial court is the beneficiary.

Now that Du He is doing well, he smashed the pot all at once.

Everyone can't eat it.

There are only two results of doing so: First, His Majesty was furious and banned the new commercial taxation system and continued to use the original taxation system. As a result, many people have no advantage to take advantage of.Second, His Majesty is still furious and uses violent means to punish those merchants. At that time, many people will definitely be implicated.

boom.

"How unreasonable!" Li Eryi slapped the table angrily.

Sure enough, the wise and mighty His Majesty Li Er chose the second path.I just heard Li Er say: "This new tax policy was originally intended to benefit the people and benefit the people. I never thought about it, but it was taken advantage of by some profiteers. It is really unreasonable... If this is the case, then the court will send someone to verify it. Clearly, once there are tax evaders, they will never be lightly forgiven. As for the new tax policy, let’s put it on hold for now.”

Taxation, that is the money of the treasury.

The treasury's money is Li Er's money.

Now that his money has been moved, how can Li Er calm down.

All the ministers turned pale with fright.

But Du He said calmly: "Father, no!"

"Why not?"

"First of all, the new tax policy must not be banned. The new tax policy has been implemented in Hu County for nearly two years, and it has proved to be effective. The biggest change is that in the past, the imperial court took the initiative to collect taxes, which was time-consuming, laborious, and costly. Now However, the merchants take the initiative to pay the taxes, which can reduce a lot of work, and with the prosperity of my business in the Tang Dynasty, the new tax policy is more suitable... Secondly, the reporting system is sufficient to punish profiteers who evade taxes. There is no need for the court to come forward." Du He talked eloquently.

Li Er asked: "Du He, do you know what will happen if the new tax policy fails?"

Du He was amused, the consequences?Wouldn't it just cost the treasury millions of coins?

It turns out that His Majesty, who is wise and mighty, also cares about money.

But these words, he can only think in his heart.

After the form was filled, Du He said: "Father, please give my son two months. If the situation is still bad after two months, please cut off my head."

"Are you making a military order?"

"Yes!"

Swish.

Li Er stood up, flicked his sleeves and said, "Okay, I'll give you two months, I hope you don't let me down... As for the new tax policy, and the reporting system, you can use it however you want. ... If something goes wrong, I will take care of it for you."

"Thank you, Father, for your trust!"

All the ministers were dumbfounded.

Originally, I thought that Du He smashed everyone's dinner together.

Only now did I realize that it was everyone's fault that Du He smashed, and the pot in Du He's hands was actually good.

Wang Gui suddenly couldn't help shouting: "I've been fooled..."

However, when Li Er looked at him, he hurriedly shook his head and kept silent.

……

Chapter 1187

After the dispersal.

Everyone walked out of the Tai Chi Hall.

Changsun Wuji hurried to Wang Gui's side and asked in a low voice, "Master Wang, you just said in the hall that you were fooled, but what did you find?"

Wang Gui looked around, and said leisurely: "Master Changsun, we are full of civil and military affairs, and we have been tricked by Du He."

"How do you say that?" Changsun Wuji was taken aback.

Wang Gui said: "With Du He's intelligence, when he promulgated the new tax policy, didn't he expect that he would not be able to collect taxes? But why did he promulgate this policy, and he heard that the cloth merchant Fan Bingbing gave him Two plaques humiliate him, and he is indifferent?"

Zhangsun Wuji suddenly realized: "Lord Wang, what you mean is that Du He has long wanted to introduce a reporting system, but he didn't promulgate it at the beginning. Instead, he promulgated a new taxation system first, which makes people laugh and businessmen have no objection. The court did not object, on the contrary, the ministers of the court and the central government united to report to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to issue an imperial decree, acknowledging the commercial taxation and new tax system of Wannian County taking over Chang'an City. At this time, the new taxation system has been approved by the imperial court, and it cannot be easily changed. Even if many people stand up to oppose it, it will not help the matter. What's more, Du He and even His Majesty are most concerned about the treasury, so he has nothing to fear. Now , no one can stand against him.”

Wang Gui nodded.

Changsun Wuji almost vomited blood angrily.

From the beginning to the end, Du He was not a fool, the real fools were people like himself.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty were so teased by Du He that they pretended to be all over the place, and they did things for Du He in vain.

Changsun Wuji looked at a group of officials in front of him and asked, "Master Wang, do you want to tell them the truth?"

Wang Gui thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's better not to let them know the truth, otherwise, I'm worried that some people will jump into the river."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

……

The gate of Tai Chi Palace.

Du He and Dai Zhou walked side by side.

Dai Zhou said with lingering fear: "Boy Du, today, I was so scared by you that this matter almost self-defeating."

Du He said contemptuously: "Lord Dai, you are ashamed to say that yesterday, you were guaranteed a ticket in front of me, but in the court hall, you were scolded by Wang Gui and others, what a shame!"

Dai Zhou blushed and said awkwardly: "You know what, the old man just saw you there and wanted you to show it. Facts have proved that the old man is right. You are enough to deal with them. Why do you need me to take action? How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife, don't you understand this truth?"
