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

In addition, you were asked to ask for the military salary, which made Chen Daomin have to replenish the money in the treasury.

It is not surprising that Chen Daomin later introduced various exorbitant taxes. Even if he didn't want to supplement the treasury with exorbitant taxes, he had to find other ways to get money.

As an official, if he wants to obtain such a large amount of money legally, what else can he do except taxation?

He doesn't have the ability of His Royal Highness to turn stones into gold, so can he still do business?

It seems that His Highness is taking one step at a time, but in fact, all of this is within His Highness' expectations. "

Liu Lin analyzed.

"As for the fact that Chen Daomin wanted to attack Lingnan University, it must have been that Chen Daomin accidentally kicked the iron board, and there should be an element of luck in it.

No one would have thought that the headmaster of a school that looks ordinary to outsiders is actually the leftist minister of the dynasty. "

Liu Lin continued.

"This just shows that our Highness is blessed with good luck. He is a noble man and is protected by God. It is not so lucky to be someone else."

Qi Yong hurriedly answered.

This made everyone speechless, and Li Su also had black lines on his face.

"Hey, let me tell you, you fool, are you using all your brains on flattery?"

Cao Youde sneered at the side.

……

The capital, the Hall of Carriers.

The prince has been in a good mood ever since he received the news from Chen Daomin that he has taken control of Lingnan.

Today he even intends to show his contribution to Chen Daomin in court.

He also hoped that in the future, after Chen Daomin could completely control Lingnan Mansion, the treasury of Lingnan Mansion would become one of the incomes of the East Palace.

"Father, my son has received news from Lingnan.

The businessmen over there are all grateful to the Lingnan magistrate for abolishing the tyranny of ten taxes and one tax, and implementing the benevolent government of twenty taxes and one tax stipulated by our major law.

They all expressed their gratitude to the emperor for sending officials like Chen Zhifu who are dedicated to the people to benefit the people of Lingnan. "

The prince came out and said.

"Oh? Wasn't the ten-tax-one decree promulgated by King An? Why was it abolished as soon as Chen Daomin left?"

Emperor Qian wondered, when Li Su defeated the Tatars, he had sent secret guards to investigate, and he still had some understanding of Li Su's policy of ten taxes and one tax.

Although the Daqian ancestor taught Pan Wang not to intervene in local government affairs, he also had the right to make suggestions. Now, both the court and Emperor Qian actually acquiesced in Pan Wang's management of some local government affairs.

"Prefect Chen not only abolished the tyranny of ten taxes and one tax, but also abolished a total of 17 other decrees of King An. The whole of Lingnan has now returned to the court."

The prince said.

There is another meaning in the words, before Chen Daomin left, the heart of Lingnan Mansion was not with the imperial court.

Chapter 61

Emperor Qian's expression didn't change at all.

At first he was very happy to hear that the businessmen in Lingnan were grateful for his kindness.

But the prince also mentioned that Chen Daomin abolished King An's seventeen decrees, and he was a little displeased.

When Chen Daomin was sent to serve as magistrate in Lingnan, although he intended to check and balance King An, he did not take any precautions against Li Su.

Sending the magistrate in the past was nothing more than blocking the mouths of many people, and it was also a clear statement of the imperial court's importance to Lingnan.

As the king of a country, he hopes that Lingnan will become better and better.

"Understood, let him discuss with King An more, some of King An's policies are still good."

Emperor Qian said lightly, wanting to make Chen Daomin restrain himself.

"Father, it's all thanks to Chen Daomin that the merchants in Lingnan returned to the imperial court. My son dared to ask Father for a decree to praise Chen Daomin, the magistrate of Lingnan."

The prince paid homage.

Doing some credit for Chen Daomin can make him work harder for himself.

Li Yan also knew that if someone followed him, it was not because he showed his arrogance that the other party would return to him, and he should be kind and powerful as the way to control his subordinates.

"Then let someone pass on a word of mouth, exhorting him to do more practical things for the people of Lingnan, the court will not bury talents."

Emperor Qian was a little indifferent to Taoism, but finally felt that the decree of the Taoism was quite inappropriate, so it was better to change it to an oral edict.

"Your Majesty, Lingnan urgent report!"

At this time, a voice came, and a guard in front of the hall walked into the hall and bowed down.

"Oh? Is there any urgent report at this time?"

Emperor Qian was puzzled.

"Yes, yes, it's the memorial of Zuo Xiang Jia Siyan."

The guard in front of the palace said nervously.

"Wow!"

As soon as the words opened, everyone in the room was shocked.

"Jia Xiang! It turned out to be Jia Xiang's memorial. Hasn't he disappeared for five years? Why did he appear in Lingnan!"

"I haven't heard this name for a long time. Could it be that the court is going to be uneasy again?"

All the officials have different thoughts, and many people present are people who have experienced Jia Siyan's era.

As long as they are officials in the same dynasty as Jia Siyan, they can't forget the fear of being dominated by Jia Siyan.

This is a legendary man who has always been known as the iron-blooded prime minister.

He abandoned the court five years ago, and now he has handed over a memorial, and it is still from Lingnan, which has to make people daydream.

"Quick, give it to me!"

When Emperor Qian heard Jia Siyan's name, he stood up excitedly from the dragon chair.

He quickly walked towards the guard, and before the memorial was presented, he stretched out his hand and snatched it.

He knew that Jia Siyan was in Lingnan, and he also knew that Jia Siyan was the principal of Lingnan University.

He has always wanted to meet his teacher, but he couldn't get away.

Seeing Jia Siyan's autograph now, the corners of his eyes can't help getting moist.

At the beginning, master Jia supported him all the way to become an emperor and then retired after success, and the scene of taking the initiative to stay away from the court appeared before his eyes again.

If it is said that any official in Dagan is truly selfless for the country and the people, Jia Siyan definitely ranks first in Emperor Qian's mind.

"Saint Your Majesty:

Chen Daomin, the magistrate of Lingnan, took office for one month and abolished King An's new business tax policy, resulting in the depletion of Lingnan government treasury and unsustainable.

However, he didn't want to repent, and tried to collect money from merchants with exorbitant taxes to fill the treasury.

Cleverly established names such as road tax, shop tax, rate tax, and tax differential tax are numerous, and merchants pay as much as ten taxes and four five.

The merchants in Lingnan struggled to support them, and they petitioned in Prince An's Mansion one after another.

……

He also abolished 17 articles of King An's New Deal, which were related to people's livelihood, travel, education, farming, etc., and the people were deeply disturbed and complained.

……

I am the president of Lingnan University. I originally wanted to study the new policy of King An and try to implement it in various state capitals, so as to enrich my government treasury and enrich my people. However, Chen Daomin said this is absurd.

……

The minister dares to ask, is there no one in the court?

An sent such ignorant and inexperienced people in charge of the Lingnan government?

......"

Emperor Qian looked at the memorabilia written by Jia Siyan, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he clenched his fist tightly with his right hand.

Just when everyone was guessing what was written in Jia Siyan's memorial, Emperor Qian directly threw the memorial on the prince.

It frightened Li Yan into a shiver.

"Look at what Chen Daomin did!"

Emperor Qian glared at the prince, his face full of anger.

The people in the hall had never seen Emperor Qian so angry, they dared not make a sound, did not dare to take a breath.

"How could it be, father, what Jia Xiang said may not be the truth! Then Chen Daomin clearly said in the letter that the businessman is grateful."

Li Yan picked up the memorandum, looked at ten lines at a glance, and looked at Emperor Qiandao with horror on his face.

"You mean my Master Jia will deceive me?

I tell you, everyone here may deceive me, but I absolutely do not believe that Master Jia will deceive me! "

Emperor Qian growled at Li Yan with a confident face.

"Dum, thump, thump!"

At this time, a series of drums sounded.

"What's going on outside, where's the drumming coming from?"

Emperor Qian was angry and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, there is a businessman from Lingnan outside the palace beating the Dengwen drum."

A guard outside the hall reported.

"A businessman from Lingnan? Just right, bring him in!"

Qiandi opened his mouth and said.

Soon, a man dressed as a wealthy businessman walked into the hall.

"Du Chen, president of the Caomin Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, pays his respects to His Majesty."

The person who came was none other than Du Chen.

Half a month ago, he set off to the capital, ready to be entrusted by others to come to sue the imperial court.

It is really that the tax set by Chen Daomin is too high, and it is completely unsupportable now.

They are all big merchants who travel to and from the capital, hoarding 10,000+ taels of goods at every turn, and the proportion of tax collection really makes them overwhelmed.

"Your Majesty, this is a blood letter jointly signed by 830 seven large merchants in our Lingnan Prefecture, accusing the new Lingnan prefect of cleverly setting up various exorbitant taxes and excessive collection.

We have always been very grateful for the business environment that His Majesty asked His Highness Wang An to provide us, so we worked hard to pay taxes and never violated laws and disciplines, but now we really can't survive. Please, Your Majesty, be fair to us lowly people! "

Du Chen burst into tears, held up a blood book, and refused to look up for a long time.

Emperor Qian took the blood book that Du Chen handed over, and seeing the densely packed names written in blood, he immediately felt his blood surge.

Each of these names seems to be slapping myself in the face.

Originally, these businessmen were doing well in Lingnan, but now because they sent a magistrate there, it made them unable to survive.

This made Emperor Qian feel hot on his face.

"Also let me order a reward!"

Emperor Qian, who had nowhere to vent his anger, saw the prince kneeling beside him, immediately found the punching bag, and kicked on it.

"Don't let him come back! Stay there and let the common people poke my back!"

……

Chapter 62

The people who came to Lingnan Mansion to proclaim the decree were beyond everyone's expectations.

It turned out to be Pan Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
