The happy life of a prodigal

They know when to say something, and they know what attitude to show when His Majesty is in a mood, but anyone who confronts the emperor will never have any good fruit in the end, even if they are already in the cabinet. old.

The Hubu Shangshu wanted the three elders to talk, but after seeing this scene, how can they not understand that the elders are unwilling to take care of it.

I have to say that Qiu Shangshu is also a real person, he cares about the common people and the gentry in his heart.

He is not like the other people in the household department, who prefers the gentry just to favor himself. He really considers the court and hopes to find a relatively suitable balance between the gentry and the common people.

So, he said: "Your Majesty, I have said many times that the policy of combining land and land is beneficial to the court and the people, but we should not be too impatient.

Your majesty, what you do is tantamount to, tantamount to..."

"It's no different from what?"

Chu Huang looked at him and asked coldly.

The three pavilion elders sighed silently and remained silent.

"It's tantamount to crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!" Hubu Shangshu said that he was ready to go all out, and said through gritted teeth: "The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, nothing is better than this!

Your Majesty, those gentry used to be credited to the imperial court and the royal family!You should at least give them a process of adaptation!His Majesty! "

When Emperor Chu heard this, the anger in his heart had reached the extreme.

What kind of shit is this! ?

That is to say, there are many people in this world who have contributed to the imperial court. Among other things, those old farmers work hard every day to cultivate the land, grow food, and support the people all over the world. Isn't that a little bit of credit?

In other words, those gentry can do whatever they want, just because they have contributed to the court and the royal family, so what kind of court and royal family do they want!

The three pavilion elders have been with the emperor for a long time, and they can be said to be of the same mind. Hearing the words of Hubu Shangshu, his heart skipped a beat. When he raised his eyes and saw the expression of the emperor, he understood the emperor's thoughts even more.

"Lord Qiu, can you talk nonsense? Who in this world has made no contribution to the court or the royal family? Scholars, farmers, businessmen, who is not like this? I just said that water can carry a boat. Not just gentlemen, but people from all over the world, including you and me!

You can't just think about the gentry, you have to think about the old peasants in that kind of land, you and I are both human beings, they are all the same, there is no half difference! "

It was Yan Zhuang who spoke, seemingly reprimanding him, but actually he was saving him, saving what he said just now.

Hubu Shangshu also understood in his heart, sighed secretly, knelt down, kowtowed and said: "I just lost my mind and talked nonsense. I am guilty. I will die. I implore your majesty to punish!"

"You guys!"

Emperor Chu's voice was very cold, and he sat back on the dragon chair, frowning.

It was the first time for everyone to see the emperor in such a posture, and each of them was even more afraid to speak, and they all sat or knelt tremblingly.

At this time, there was a sharp voice, "Your Majesty, hurry up for eight hundred miles on the Central Plains Road!"

"Enter."

The little eunuch hurriedly handed the eight hundred li letter to the chief eunuch Liu Cheng, and after Liu Cheng took it, he handed it to the emperor again.

Chu Huang took it over, looked at it twice, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

"How could this be!?"

When the people below saw this scene, they were all frightened. This was the first time they had seen the emperor show such an expression.

You know, no matter what time it was in the past, the emperor was always in a state of not changing his face when the mountain collapsed. Even when the court was discussing, the anger reached the extreme, and he still kept some restraint.

However, it is different at this moment, they can see it, they can taste it.

Your Majesty is really shocked!

What was written in that letter?

Everyone can't help guessing in their hearts.

Fortunately, there is still a direction. Where did the little eunuch say the letter was sent from?

It seems to be from Zhongyuan Road, Zhongyuan Road... Zhongyuan Road...

Everyone didn't know what they thought of, and they looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

Could it be that New Amber has rebelled! ?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that only this possibility can make His Majesty so shocked!

However, in the next second, Emperor Chu seemed to be in ecstasy, and said loudly: "Okay!"

Three good words in a row accurately expressed the emperor's mood.

Seeing this, several people immediately understood that the idea just now was not valid.

Unless His Majesty is crazy, how could he be so happy to see his confidant betrayed?

They thought so, but the emperor's voice came over again: "A bunch of dogs, I should have known, I should have understood! I should have done this long ago!"

One sentence made everyone confused again.

damn thing......

They have served in the imperial court for decades, and it seems that this is the first time they have heard His Majesty scold someone, and it is so vulgar.

But this also proves that His Majesty is very angry now.

But with the three good words just now, it is obvious that His Majesty is very happy.

One moment happy, one moment angry, what does this mean?

Everyone became more and more confused.

At this time, Emperor Chu had already read the letter in its entirety, carefully read it, and then handed it to Chief Eunuch Liu Cheng.

"Take it, and let my ministers of pillars and beams take a good look at it! Taste it carefully!"

The four ministers were already confused to the extreme, they hurriedly reached out to take the envelope from Liu Cheng, and browsed it carefully.

Halfway through, especially the Hubu Shangshu, he also showed a look of shock, and blurted out: "How could this happen!?"

"This is too much difference, a full three times. In this way, if the imperial court collected less taxes in the past, wouldn't it be equivalent to three or four national treasuries!?"

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money and food, and no one knows how to calculate it.

Therefore, when he saw this letter sent from the Central Plains Road, he was shocked and unbelievable.

You know, last year when the imperial court was going to fight the grassland tribes, they couldn't spend much money.

Even this year's suppression of the Southwest rebellion was all hard-earned money, and even many nobles donated money...

As a result, just changing the Dingheyi, there are so many more.

how can that be?

Chapter 654

The Hubu Shangshu actually knew in his heart that after the implementation of the integration of land and land, the tax will definitely increase.

But he never thought it would increase so much.

"Your Majesty, this... this..."

Hubu Shangshu hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Your Majesty, could this be false credit?"

After finishing speaking, he also knew that something was inappropriate, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't doubt Xin'anbo, I know that Xin'anbo is a hard-hearted man, he is a talent, and he will never make such a risky move." successful thing.

Xin'anbo disdains these fame and fortune, and the ministers all understand.

But Xin'anbo won't do such things, but it doesn't mean that the people in Linze Mansion Yamen won't do such things. Your Majesty, think about it... If there were so many taxes in the Central Plains Road of moisture.

What about the whole world?

Isn't the wealth accumulated by those gentry going to exceed the treasury? "

Emperor Chu looked at him, and said coldly: "It might be possible."

"This, Your Majesty..."

Hubu Shangshu was slightly taken aback, not knowing what to say.

Emperor Chu didn't say a word, because he knew in his heart that what Shangshu Hubu said was right!

After the implementation of land integration, the tax has increased to a certain extent, which is reasonable, but it has also increased too much.

This made him have to suspect the moisture in it.

After all... If this is the case, then where did the court lose so much silver taels over the years?

It can't be that the world is full of rich wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road, right?

However, at this time, Liu Cheng came up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the money collected by Zhongyuan Dao this year's land tax has reached the gate of the city, enough... enough for 30 taels."

"Is this true?"

Emperor Chu was also dumbfounded, and actually asked such a question.

Then Liu Cheng was also stunned for a moment before replying: "Your Majesty will never lie to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, even if you borrow more than a dozen courage from your slaves, your servants will never dare!"

"Good good!"

Chu Huang said three more words of "good" in a row, and the whole person was already extremely excited.

So, Fang Xiu's letters to him were all true and couldn't be more true?

After the implementation of Di Ding He Yi in the Central Plains Dao, the Tian Fu actually tripled! ?

This is unavoidable, unavoidably too exaggerated!

But this is the fact, and this is the benefit brought by the combination of land and Ding, which can be seen and has immediate effect!

With this point, no matter how reluctant the gentry all over the world are, no matter how much the ministers in court object, the result will be the same!

There is a gap of three times, how much silver taels the court has lost over the years, and how much silver taels the gentry have taken away from the court over the years! ?

He is now happy, angry, and annoyed.

The happy thing is that the effect of the combination of land and earth is far beyond my imagination.

The anger is that the gentry have been so insatiable for so many years.

What annoys me is why I didn't make this decision earlier and implement the strategy of combining land and land.

"My lords, what else do you have to say?"

It took a while before Emperor Chu recovered his emotions. Looking at the ministers, his tone softened a lot.

Several ministers looked at each other, and they could still see the shock in each other's eyes.

They are also like the Son of Heaven, and they still can't believe it, the effect of the unity of the earth and the earth is so good?

Of course, no one will talk about false credit anymore.

First of all, who is New Amberna?

How much money can Baolefang, Zhuxuanzhai, and Chunfenglou under his command receive?

How much is he valued by His Majesty?

He won't, to be precise, he doesn't bother to do such a thing!

Secondly, the risk of taking credit is extremely high. If one is caught, one will inevitably be punished.

The most important thing is that all the silver has been transported to the capital. The letter may be fake, the words on the letter may be fake, the data may be fake, the documents may be fake, but the real money can't be fake, right? ?

Therefore, even if they don't believe it, they have to believe it at this moment.

And bowed down one by one, saying: "The minister is guilty! The minister is dead!"

"All of you are indeed guilty! If I hadn't transferred Fang Xiu to the Central Plains Dao, if Fang Xiu hadn't resisted all opinions and swept those gentry forcefully in the Central Plains Dao, I'm afraid I would have believed you all!

Now that the strategy of combining land and earth has long since disappeared with the wind, how can there be such an achievement today! ? "

"...The minister waits, the minister waits for shame."

The four bowed down again.

They are indeed ashamed, they are all gentry, and their mansions also have a hundred acres of fertile land, but they have never thought that the land tax of this hundred acres of fertile land can make such a difference in the court's income!

You know, they are not only gentry, but also elders and ministers of pillars.

When they are in their position, what they think about is not only their own hundred acres of fertile land, but also the world, the court, the people, and...

All in all, they argued with the Emperor Chu because of ideas before, but now they respectfully bow down, or because of ideas, they...convinced!

Not only obey the policy of combining land and land, but also obey the new Amber!

A person like Lin Zehou has been in the Central Plains for more than half a month without any progress, but Xin'anbo has only been in the Central Plains for a few days?
