Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

The emperor turned over the ledger and frowned involuntarily.

Why only 2.85 million taels?

The emperor is dissatisfied, is it possible that someone has the audacity to covet the money of the bidding conference?

Chen Dachang reacted instantly and said hurriedly: Your Majesty, according to the agreement, Mrs. Zhao will draw half of the silver money as hard work.

The emperor was stunned for a while, and thought about it carefully, there is such a thing.

She was not polite at all. Before the money was put into the warehouse, she took away her share. Humph!

Thinking of Gu Jiu taking away more than 100,000 taels of silver in one breath, the emperor felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Of course, he is a man of his word.

At the beginning, he promised Gu Jiu to let her take half of the hard work, and he would definitely not regret it.

The emperor thought about this matter carefully, and always felt that he had fallen into Gu Jiu's pit.

Half of the hard work, it seems not much.

But when the total amount reaches 3 million taels, half of it is 150,000 taels.

That's a lot.

The emperor snorted coldly, She is very shrewd, and it's all on my head.

Chen Dachang did not dare to answer.

Then, the emperor said again: I heard that Yuhua Lane is busy, and the money will be divided soon.

Exactly.

Who gave money to Gu Jiu back then?

Chen Dachang was prepared, he took out a list from his sleeve and put it in front of the emperor.

It's no secret who invested how much money to Gu Jiu. It takes a little effort to find out.

The emperor looked at the long list, which were basically Gu Jiu's relatives, friends, buddies, etc.

In the palace, Ouyang Fu was the only one.

The emperor laughed, It seems that Gu Jiu's popularity in the palace is not very good!

Chen Dachang said with a smile: I heard that Mrs. Zhao has a stronger temperament and is not very tolerant of people.

Oh my god, he said twice,

No wonder she's not pregnant yet, and Liu Zhao doesn't dare to take a concubine. This grandson of me was eaten to death by Gu Jiu, and my husband's gang is not strong. It's a shame.

Chen Dachang laughed. No, Liu Zhao is a typical husband's slump.

Do you want your majesty to give two beauties to the son?

The emperor waved his hand, No, let the young couple toss it out on their own. I also count on Gu Jiu to make money for me.

Because he was counting on Gu Jiu to make money, he did not block Gu Jiu. The emperor obviously loved money more than his grandson.

In the face of money, Liu Zhao also has to stand aside.

Chen Dachang smiled and said: Old slave heard that Mrs. Zhao bought all the land outside the Nancheng Gate. For this alone, the young mansion will earn tens of thousands of taels.

Only tens of thousands of taels are paid for such a large piece of land outside Nancheng Gate? This is a cheap sale.

God is not happy.

How can the land be sold cheaply. And it was sold to Gu Jiu at a cheap price.

Gu Jiu is a lucky boy.

Tens of thousands of taels of land fell into her hands, and at least she could make hundreds of thousands of taels.

Your Majesty does not know that there are tens of thousands of refugees living outside the South City Gate. It is a place that no one wants to set foot in. When Mrs. Zhao bought it, many people are saying that Mrs. Zhao will lose money this time.

The emperor frowned, Can she lose money?

God does not believe.

Go, call the Shaofu family order, I want to ask him carefully.

For the emperor, paying attention to Gu Jiu's business has become an entertainment.

Tired of dealing with political affairs, asking about Gu Jiu's current situation can always reap the fun and feel at ease both physically and mentally.

Gu Jiu has become a spice in the emperor's life.

The Shaofu family hurried into the palace and rushed to the Xingqing Palace to face the saint.

He carefully observed the emperor's face, and it seemed that he was in a good mood. Shao Fu Jia Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Emperor asked loudly, I heard that Gu Jiu bought the land outside the Nancheng Gate from the Shaofu, is this true?

That's true. The Shaofu Family Ling bowed and replied.

The Son of Heaven asked, As far as I know, there are tens of thousands of refugees living outside the Nancheng Gate. How does Gu Jiu make money when she buys the land outside the Nancheng Gate?

Weichen don't know. The Shaofu family commander was trembling.

The emperor was not happy. She bought the land from you, and you didn't ask a question?

The Shaofu family made a cold sweat on his forehead, Wei Chen asked, but she didn't say anything. Let Wei Chen wait and see.

The emperor snorted, Then did she say how to deal with the refugees outside the city?

I didn't say it.

After asking three questions, the emperor was in a turbulent mood.

Tell me, what did she tell you, and you agree to sell the land outside Nancheng Gate to her?

The Shaofu family decree considered it for a while before saying, Mrs. Zhao said that she has her own way to take care of the refugees outside the South City Gate.

Gone?

She also said that she can't do anything else, and she has never lost money in business.

Ha ha……

Tianzi burst out laughing, She has a big tone.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, the commander of the Shaofu family took the opportunity to bring up another matter, Report to Your Majesty, there is a matter concerning Madam Zhao, which still needs His Majesty's ruling.

The emperor said in a good mood: Come and listen.

Mrs. Zhao wants to buy the population of Beirong Xiliang through Shaofu, and the prisoners will be given priority.

Hearing this, the emperor frowned, Why did she buy people?

The Shaofu family decree did not dare to hide it, Some time ago, Mrs. Zhao bought a lot of unowned land and mines in the south, which required a lot of labor. There was not enough labor in the local area, so she thought of buying people from Beirong Xiliang.

Wei Chen thought about it, this move can be regarded as benefiting the country and the people. Beirong Xiliang has a small population, and buying a population is equivalent to weakening their power. This matter is of great importance, and Wei Chen dare not call the shots, so I ask Your Majesty to rule.

The Son of Heaven said, She will be tossing around, and quietly go to the south to buy land and mines. Has the business under her name paid taxes?

The Shaofu family decree nodded, Every business has to pay taxes. This is the list of property taxes paid by Mrs. Zhao, which was collected by Wei Chen. Please take a look at it.

Chen Dachang took the list and put it in front of the emperor.

The emperor turned page by page, looking very carefully.

The Shaofu family rejoiced in his heart for a while.

Why did he prepare the tax payment list in advance, not because he guessed in advance what the emperor would ask, but because Gu Jiu reminded him in advance.

Gu Jiu mentioned two sentences in private: the emperor is suspicious, and he values ​​profits. The Shaofu also manages the emperor's private treasury. Only when every income and expenditure is clearly shared in front of the emperor can we win the emperor's trust.

This sentence, the Shaofu family decree listened to it.

Since then, Shaofu's accounts have been clear and can withstand inspection at any time.

Considering that he and Gu Jiu had more money exchanges, and the emperor was more concerned about Gu Jiu's situation, he also made a tax payment list for Gu Jiu.

According to the unwritten tradition, the business of the official family and the royal clan does not pay tax.

Although there is no express provision in the law, everyone does it.

The Shaofu and the Ministry of Household will not pursue the payment either.

Gu Jiu was different, she did the opposite.

She pays taxes according to the rules.

She paid as much tax as the law required her to pay, never less.

She is determined to be a rich woman and to create a business empire.

If she didn't pay taxes from the beginning, when the scale of the business under her name was so big that people would look at her, the whole world would regard her as an enemy bandit, and the court would yell at her.

At that time, every penny in her hand has the original sin.

Maybe the emperor would have her property confiscated by an edict under the pretext that she did not pay taxes and competed with the people for profits.

At that time, she had nowhere to cry.

Judging from this situation, the real crisis came earlier than Gu Jiu expected.

Her business, by her standards, is not yet on a large scale, it's just a small game, it's pure tossing.

But even so, it has attracted the attention of so many people, and it has also attracted the attention of the emperor.

She has a saying that MMP doesn't know what to say.

Fortunately, she took precautions before it happened. From the beginning of the small pearl flower business, she has always paid taxes in accordance with the law.

The Shaofu family decree helped her and made a tax payment list for her.

In the tax payment list, there is the original record of every transaction in the Ministry of Household Tax Cao, which cannot be faked.

The emperor turned over the tax payment list of the property under Gu Jiu's name, and the more he looked at it, the more stupefied he became.

The fixed industries under Gu Jiu's name, such as cloth houses, farmhouses, pharmacies, jewelry shops, etc., have already paid tens of thousands of taels of tax in just a few years.

Of course, jewelry stores pay the most taxes.

In just over a year, a jewelry shop alone paid 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in taxes.

These are only fractions.

Yuhuaxiang Wharf has already paid 50,000 taels of tax within half a year.

The Yuhua Lane real estate project has paid 80,000 taels of tax.

A rough calculation shows that in just two or three years, the property under Gu Jiu's name has already paid 200,000 taels of tax.

The emperor was speechless.

Paying taxes so aggressively, and paying them in full, makes people feel embarrassed to knock on Gu Jiu again?

The emperor asked uncertainly: She really paid so much tax?

The Shaofu family decree said with certainty: Every item on the list has been archived by the Ministry of Households. All the taxes have been put into the treasury. Your Majesty can call the Ministry of Household Tax Cao to inquire about this matter. According to Weichen's understanding, Mrs. Zhao is from Gyeonggi Province. Region, the person who pays the most tax annually.”

The emperor frowned, I looked at the tax payment list, her business scale is not large, how can she become the person who pays the most taxes?

The Shaofu family decree considered it for a while, Because many merchants either pay no tax or pay less tax. The properties under Mrs. Zhao's name are all taxed in full. After all, those merchants do not pay as much tax as Mrs. Zhao.

The emperor's heart was full of anger, and he said, Why can some merchants not pay taxes and pay less taxes? What does the household tax Cao eat?

The Shaofu family made sweat on his forehead, realizing that he had stabbed a hornet's nest.

He hurriedly remedied, Your Majesty, calm down. Most of the businesses that don't pay taxes and pay less taxes are run by their servants. It is a tradition in this dynasty that they have never been taxed.

The families in the Shaofu family order naturally refer to those official families, wealthy families, and royal clans.

Snapped!

The emperor slapped the table with a slap, burning with anger.

Looking at Gu Jiu's tax payment list, it can be estimated that in Gyeonggi alone, the annual tax evasion and tax evasion are less than one million taels.

Taking the whole world as a whole, a year less than tens of millions of taels of tax went into private pockets.

The Ministry of Household is in short supply every year, it is called poor every year, and taxes are raised when there is no money. Where did the tax go, it was all added to the common people.

The common people have a hard life and have to bear heavy taxes.

It is absurd that a large family with great wealth can pay no tax at all!

Gu Jiu, as the wife of the emperor's grandson, is paying taxes honestly. What qualifications do other businesses have to not pay taxes? My country was hollowed out by these moths. Damn, damn it.

The emperor was so angry that he wanted to pay all the taxes owed to the whole world.

When the Shaofu family order saw it, he immediately became anxious, Your Majesty, calm down. If you want to pay taxes all over the world, you will bear the brunt. Should the Shaofu pay taxes? Will Huangzhuang pay taxes? Will all the royal palaces pay taxes?

Chen Dachang was also very anxious, Think again, Your Majesty! The current situation cannot be formed overnight, and naturally it cannot be changed overnight. The salaries of officials in this dynasty are too small, less than 10% of that in the previous dynasty. If officials do not buy any property, they may not be able to support their families. The officials and eunuchs must be hungry, who would be willing to study hard and become an official?”

The Shaofu family decree made persistent efforts, Your Majesty, the bank under the Shaofu's name has already generated hundreds of thousands of taels of interest income this year alone. When the scale expands next year, there will be millions of taels at least. If Your Majesty agrees to buy and sell Beirongxi Cool population, Shaofu has another income. Frontier troops can also make more income.

Your Majesty, the business tax can't be rushed!

Chen Dachang, the commander of the Shaofu family, persuaded the emperor with every word you said.

Can't be impulsive!

Impulsivity is the devil!

They are all interest classes, can they move freely?

If it moves, it may shake the foundation of Da Zhou, and the world will be in turmoil!

The emperor's face was ugly, and with a flick of his sleeves, he swept all the documents on the desk to the ground.

Clearing the business tax is tantamount to moving the interests of everyone.

Those with vested interests will certainly hold back and oppose it in various ways. If you are in a hurry, it is possible to directly flip the table and turn your face.

The risks here, the Son of Heaven is clear.

So in the past, the emperor knew the truth, but never mentioned it.

The reason why I mention it today is all motivated by Gu Jiu's tax payment list.

Gu Jiu alone, in just two or three years, paid 200,000 taels of tax.

This year marks the thirty-sixth year of Kaiyao.

Thirty-six years have passed since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne.

In thirty-six years, how much tax did the court lose?

Totally an astronomical number.

The accounts can't be counted.

Once calculated, the emperor's heart is bleeding.

With such a small business under Gu Jiu's name, he could pay 200,000 taels of tax.

How much tax did those wealthy businessmen, those high-profile families, and aristocratic families escape?

I'm afraid it's not less than a million taels.

It's all money!

When he thought that the money that should have belonged to the Ministry of Households and the Shaofu had been greedy for ink by those bastards, the emperor could not wait to kill him.

The dignified emperor was going to be kidnapped by a group of vampires. Even if you are kidnapped, you can't resist, how can the emperor not be angry.

Furious, the emperor pulled out his saber and slashed at the desk.

Bang bang bang!

A knife was slashed on the desktop, the nanmu desk, and a gap was cut abruptly.

In the hall, everyone was terrified, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed frequently.

No one dared to speak.

Chen Dachang did not dare to speak under the family order of the Shaofu.

Whoever speaks at this time is the cannon fodder.

Chen Dachang secretly glanced at the Shaofu family order: Look at the good things you have done, which pot is not to be opened, now it's good.

The Shaofu family commander frowned: I didn't know that His Majesty would be provoked by the mere tax payment list. The unspoken rules have been around for decades and hundreds of years, but this is not the case today. Your Majesty clearly knows that this time, what kind of fire is going on. Completely incomprehensible.

What is the emperor angry about?

He was annoyed at his own powerlessness.

You are the son of the emperor, rich in the world, but you can't pry the interests of the class, and watch the entire world's official family, wealthy family, royal family and relatives evade taxes and evade taxes. Watching these bastards lying on the rivers and mountains of Da Zhou sucking blood.

The emperor was burning with anger.

Hate that he is old and frail, he is no longer able to fight against this huge group of interest classes that cover the whole world.

Not unwilling, but unable.

If he dares to move, the throne under his ass will probably be overturned, and someone else will sit.

Is the emperor old and confused?

Not too!

The older the emperor is, the more awake he becomes. Because he is awake, he is afraid.

Because of fear, I want to seize even the slightest hope.

So the emperor called the alchemist into the palace and took the medicine.

Therefore, the emperor favored the little prince, seemingly pinning his hopes on the little prince.

He just wanted to live a few more years, preferably until the little prince became an adult.

The emperor slashed, and finally vented the anger in his heart.

Bang!

Throwing the saber, the emperor picked up the tax list again.

Gu Jiu has done a good job and deserves to be commended. But this matter involves too much, so I should not know it happened. Who would dare to reveal a word about what happened in the hall today, I will kill his nine clans. Uncle...

Your Majesty is shattering a small minister. The Shaofu family made Cheng Cheng feel fearful.

According to the seniority, the Shaofu family order is indeed the uncle of the emperor, but how dare he accept it.

So every time the Son of Heaven addressed him as his uncle, he was particularly frightened.

The emperor smiled, like a spring breeze blowing across his face.

The previous violent storm was like a dream, and everything was illusory after waking up.

The emperor said: Gu Jiu is loyal to the monarchy and the country. For people like her, the young mansion needs more support. I have agreed to sell the people of Beirong and Xiliang. Tell her to do things well, and I will not treat her badly.

Instead of giving the benefits to those bastards who only suck blood and pay no taxes, the emperor decided to give the benefits to Gu Jiu.

After all, Gu Jiu paid taxes as much as she could.
