After three years of enfeoffment, the waste prince shocked the court boss

As long as a caring person like the prince makes a little analysis and estimation, he will know that the tax revenue of Lingnan Prefecture is far from that of a high-class government.

And now that the imperial court has begun to collect taxes on Lingnan, it is bound to send tax officials to Lingnan to monitor the tax situation of Lingnan Prefecture at any time.

Therefore, how much tax Lingnan can get every year can't be kept secret for long. Instead of letting people report and expose it at that time, it is better to come up with a considerable amount now.

And if you have money, you can also guarantee the combat power on the frontier, and you won't let the Tatars surround the capital like last time.

A peaceful and stable dry state is more conducive to the commercial development of Lingnan.

"what!"

"100 taels!"

"Did I hear correctly, is it 100 million taels?"

After Li Su finished speaking, everyone exclaimed.

They only knew that Li Su turned stone into gold, and there was news from Lingnan before, but they didn't feel intuitive enough.

Now when I hear the real figure of 100 million taels of silver, I know that Lingnan is so rich.

"Your Highness, I heard you right, did you say that you want to hand over 100 million taels of silver?"

Zheng Kun didn't dare to believe it, and stretched out his hand to hold Li Su's arm. At this moment, he couldn't care less about being rude in front of the palace.

One million taels of silver has already accounted for one-tenth of Dagan's annual treasury income, and this money can definitely support Dagan until the summer harvest.

A sum of money can even be allocated for the salaries of officials above the fifth rank of the imperial court who are in arrears.

"Naturally, the bank note of 100 million taels of silver can be delivered to the capital in less than a month."

Li Su pushed Zheng Kun's arm away and said, he was speechless at his fussing and never-before-seen appearance.

Just when everyone was still marveling at King An's generosity and the wealth of Lingnan Mansion, an untimely voice sounded.

"King An, this 100 million taels is [-]% of your Lingnan Mansion's taxes in the past three years?

As far as I know, your daily caravans in Lingnan are like clouds, if you conceal the court tax, it is a serious crime. "

The prince came out and said.

"Does the prince think I'm hiding something?"

Li Su was a little disgusted with this NPC who always made trouble for him.

"Father, my son feels that in order to show justice, it is better to call King An and Wang Fu to confront him in court and find out the annual taxes of Lingnan Mansion.

In order not to make people misunderstand that King An deliberately lowered the tax payable. "

Wang Fu, the king of each vassal, shouldered the mission of monitoring the vassals and knowing every move of the vassals, so he also had the right to intervene in the tax accounts of the vassals.

Although Liu Lin's appointment seemed a little casual because Emperor Qian didn't care, he didn't monitor Li Su.

But the responsibility of being in charge of tax accounts comes with Wang Fu's identity, so he should naturally know the tax situation of Lingnan Mansion.

"Quite." Emperor Qian sat on the dragon chair and watched the scene in front of him.

Although the prince's words imply that brothers are fighting each other, but from the court's point of view, there is really nothing wrong.

It is also a serious crime for the vassal to conceal taxes.

Soon King An and Wang Fu Liulin were brought to the main hall.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

Recently, Liu Lin has been contacting rich businessmen in the capital to promote the products of Lingnan Mansion.

Today, I was suddenly called into the palace by the eunuch in the palace, and I don't know what happened.

"Liu Aiqing, do you know how much your Lingnan Mansion's tax revenue has been in the past three years?"

Qiandi opened his mouth and said.

Liu Lin looked up at Li Su, saw Li Su nodded, and said:

"Your Majesty, the commercial tax revenue of Lingnan Mansion in the past three years is about 32 taels, 89 taels, and 1603 million taels respectively, totaling 2804 million taels of silver."

"Wow~!"

Everyone was whispering again.

Just now when Li Su said that he would spend 100 million taels of silver, it was shocking enough.

Hearing such detailed data now, it is more intuitive to be shocked.

"The 100% will be handed over to the imperial court. I said [-] million taels is more than a lot. What else do you have to say!" Li Su said to the prince.

"You just said that this is a commercial tax, but what about the agricultural tax and poll tax! Your Lingnan Prefecture has long grown corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, several high-yield crops, and the agricultural tax should not be low.

Just counting the agricultural tax of 100 million taels may not be enough!

Sure enough, you concealed the report, father, and my son asked the king of security to hide the crime of taxation! "

The prince felt that he had discovered the key, so he rushed to Emperor Gan.

"Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness Wang An entered the Lingnan Mansion three years ago, the agricultural tax and miscellaneous taxes have been cancelled."

This time it was Liu Lin who spoke.

"What! The agricultural tax has been cancelled!"

"My Han Dynasty has gone through thousands of years, and what the emperors of all dynasties have failed to do has been realized in a place like Lingnan!"

"You have to be so rich that you dare to cancel the agricultural tax. Isn't King An a saint!"

Hearing the emotions of the courtiers, Prince Li Yan felt chest tightness.

"Good, good, good!

King An's meritorious service in governing the South of the Five Ridges was passed on to the mansion and reported to the world! "Emperor Qian said with great joy.

Although he did not do the abolition of the agricultural tax, what his son did can also be blamed on him.

No matter how good the son is, it's not because I taught him well. Emperor Qian took the credit for himself as a matter of course.

Hearing that Emperor Qian praised Li Su, the prince couldn't stand still and almost fell to the ground.

Looking back on what he did today, he felt like a clown, making Li Su a wedding dress.

Chapter 24

What happened in the morning court that day had already been thrown out of the blue by Li Su, and he continued to start his busy investigation of the entertainment industry.

All problems that money can solve are trivial to him, maybe this is the happiness of rich people.

……

Rouge House.

"Miss, let's sneak out and come to this kind of place again. If the master is caught, we will be miserable."

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a handsome face dressed as a book boy whispered to a book student of the same age next to him.

"What are you afraid of? We're just here to have a look, and we won't do anything out of the ordinary."

It was Pan Wanyi, daughter of Pan Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who spoke.

At this time, she was bringing her maid Xiao Cui Nv to the Rouge Building disguised as a man.

Since he is unable to resist this marriage, he must understand Li Su's character clearly.

If Li Su is still the dandy he was back then, then tell him clearly, so as to save him what illusions he has about himself in the future.

She had already inquired about the fireworks venue where Li Su would hang around the capital when he was free all day long.

Today is the day when Xie Shishi, the oiran of the Rouge House, will perform on stage, so Li Su will come here in all likelihood, so she plans to come here to try her luck.

If he can catch the rape in bed, then Li Su won't have the face to raise his head in front of him in the future, and his future life should be cleaner.

"Hmph, someone who is about to get married, and still visits brothels, what a bastard!"

But when she thought of her future husband-in-law going to such a place before their wedding, Pan Wanyi was a little annoyed.

The two master and servant found a teahouse and sat down, nibbling melon seeds and eating pastries, but their eyes kept searching for Li Su's figure.

……

"Guest officers, our family Shishi got a new poem by Yang Xiaguang, a great talent in the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago, and composed a tune for it overnight, and I promise to refresh everyone's ears."

The old bustard of Rouge House came up to the stage and said with a smile.

Soon, a graceful woman came onto the stage.

Although she covered the veil, she couldn't hide her beautiful face.

Before he could open his mouth, a few wealthy businessmen and dignitaries below threw golden beans, pearls, jewelry and other things onto the stage.

Worthy of being the pillar of the Rouge House, this gold-absorbing ability is simply a walking cornucopia.

"Shishi greets everyone, thank you for your support."

Xie Shishi bowed profusely, and her mouth was soft and waxy, which made people want to protect her.

"Bah, Hu Meizi, shameless."

Pan Wanyi watched from below, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

She didn't know what was going on, she was also a woman, and she used to have sympathy for this fireworks girl.

But when he thought that Li Su might be hiding in a corner and squinting at Xie Shishi, he felt a tightness in his chest.

"This Partridge Sky was written by Mr. Yang Xiaguang in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was written for the famous local lady Jiang Yinger.

Shishi and Mrs. Jiang have been in correspondence for a long time. Mrs. Jiang has allowed Shishi to play and sing this poem in the capital. I hope all the young masters will like it. "

Xie Shishi sat next to the guzheng, and raised her hand to play.

Although there is no copyright in this work, there have always been unwritten rules.

If you use any poems written specifically for a certain master without the consent of others, you will be cast aside by your colleagues.

That's why Xie Shishi will explain the origin of the poems, so as not to be confused in the future, which is equivalent to the authorization of the declaration of later generations.

"The bird among the flowers splashed by the rain is desolate..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was melodious and melodious, which made people mesmerized.

When the song is over, the house is full of applause.

"Good song! Good words! Good voice! This word is paired with the music composed by Miss Shishi, and sung by Miss Shishi's voice, it is simply a special taste!"

"Miss Shishi really deserves to be a master of lyrics and music. Although this word is wonderful, it depends on who has it in hand. Only in the hands of Miss Shishi can people be so intoxicated."

Immediately, all the judges present were full of praise, and the gold and silver ingots were even thrown onto the stage like throwing away stones.

"Thank you, Shishi, for your love. This poem was specially written by Yang Dacai for everyone in Chiang Kai-shek. Shishi is just an imitation."

"Poor Shishi, there is no son who is willing to write a suitable poem for his little girl, otherwise he wouldn't be taking advantage of Jiang's family. My sister Jiang is really enviable."

Xie Shishi covered her face and wiped the corners of her eyes as she spoke, she looked so charming that all the judges in the audience were moved.

"What a showman, she didn't cry at all!"

Pan Wanyi felt depressed watching from the audience, she clenched her silver teeth, she didn't know if she took the melon seeds in her mouth as Xie Shishi on stage, or——Li Su.

After all, it's a 16-year-old girl's heart, and she hasn't practiced her Qi-raising skills yet.

"Miss, don't be angry. This is just a trick used by the girls in the brothel to win the sympathy of those men. Why bother to be as knowledgeable as her."

Tweety comforted in a low voice beside her.

"Hmph, then Li Su might follow the same trick."

The more Xie Wanyi thought about it, the angrier she became.

"Miss Shishi, don't feel sorry for yourself, my talented scholars in the capital are no worse than those from Jiangnan.

I don't know if there is any great talent here who is willing to write a poem for Miss Shishi?

As long as Miss Shishi approves, I am willing to give a thousand taels of silver to the person who made the poems. "

The person who spoke was a middle-aged fat man with a big belly and a scarf on his head. Someone in the room recognized him and said:

"Liu Yuanwai smiled for Bomei, it is really grand, although I am not good at poetry, I hope to follow Liu Yuanwai's example.

If there is someone present who can make a poem that satisfies Miss Shishi, I, Zhang Tong, will also give 1000 taels to the person who made the poem.”
