As an aide to the emperor, Wu Daicheng felt that if he refused, he might be dragged out and beheaded in minutes, but if he didn't refuse, it would be very troublesome in the future.Wu Daicheng looked at Lin Jishan in confusion, and Lin Jishan hurriedly said, "Please think again, Your Majesty." Lin Jishan felt that the emperor's invitation was a sudden whim, not a decision after careful consideration. Lin Jishan felt that it was better to be an aide to the emperor than a minister's servant Well, the emperor must find a way to protect Wu Daicheng, and will never let him suffer.Although Lin Jishan had just entered the official career, his grandfather and father were both officials, and he knew a little about official affairs by subtle influence.

Lin Jishan always felt that relying on the Lin family and the third prince alone would not be able to protect Wu Daicheng. Grandpa has been in the government for many years, but he has not recruited as many students as others. It can be said that grandpa is dedicated to the country and has no selfishness. Although he is now teaching the prince After all, it is not as good as a person in power. When it comes to power, no one can compare with the emperor.Lin Jishan felt that the Son of Heaven had a good idea, but he also had to consider Wu Daichen's idea. If Wu Daicheng didn't want to agree, he wouldn't force it.

At this moment, the emperor also felt that his proposal was too reckless. If it was replaced by others, the emperor would never think so much, and would just issue an imperial edict. But for Wu Daicheng, the emperor felt that he could not force it so much.The emperor thought of the allusion of visiting the thatched cottage three times, and he felt that he should emulate it to show respect for Wu Daicheng.The emperor took advantage of the opportunity to change the subject and asked about the handover between the two.Lin Jishan then talked about the previous affairs, saying that he was only suspicious, and they did not have any definite evidence. They did not talk about the resignation review that Wu Daicheng had said. After figuring out Wu Daicheng's thoughts, he can't say much now.

The emperor knew in his heart that money management would not be too clean, but he didn't think that there would be a deficit? "Did the deficit be spent and debts paid?" The emperor slapped the table angrily, "Who do I owe money to?"

Lin Jishan and Wu Daicheng looked at the emperor's hand tangledly. That slap would definitely hurt the hand. Lin Jishan affirmed the first question of the emperor. As for the second question, he shook his head. They haven't had time to look at it, is it Who is owed money.But no matter who is owed, there is definitely something in it. Just a rough calculation, the national treasury should definitely not be in a deficit, it cannot be said to be full, but there must be a small amount of savings.Before this year, there were many places spending money and doing construction, but in fact the imperial court gave out very little money, and most of the money was donated by local wealthy gentry, and every expenditure of the money was posted on the bulletin board.Where did the court money go?The emperor spent?Lin Jishan has always believed that the Son of Heaven is a benevolent and thrifty monarch, and he does not think that the Son of Heaven will do such a thing.So the question is, who spent the money.The answer is self-evident.

The emperor's face was extremely ugly, so he called in the chief eunuch beside him, and asked him to lead someone to arrest the minister who had just resigned, and then send an order to the third prince for interrogation. Most of the money in the treasury is the third prince. It's so easy to get it back, he believes that the third prince will definitely find out the answer.

The third prince is very busy, the emperor throws him a lot of things to do, every day he is busy with his feet, and he wants to grow up and hand over the official duties to the emperor, even so, he is still too busy to go home to tease his son. There is no time.When he saw the decree sent by the chief executive, the third prince's face turned dark. The money he earned so hard is not easy to fly, and he still owes money. The third prince can be as angry as he wants. The person who gave his money was torn up.

Lin Jishan was discussing with the emperor, the new bookkeeping method, he had seen the method used by Wu Daicheng in Wu's small shop before, he thought it was very feasible, although Wu Daicheng also said that even with that method, if you want to do it It is not impossible to fake accounts, but that method can make it clear to those who read the accounts at a glance, at least it will not be like the current situation, which makes people feel headaches. "There is also the issue of tax payment. Now that merchants can also participate in the imperial examination, it means that the status of merchants has improved, and the taxes and fees that merchants have to pay cannot be calculated according to the original method. And my dynasty is mainly based on agriculture. In the past, peasant households had a higher status than merchant households, but their wealth was far inferior to that of merchant households. There is no place for peasant households to be seen at all. I suggest that the tax system for peasant households be exempted or lowered, and even subsidize peasant households under appropriate circumstances. At the same time, those who abolish the imperial examination , exempt from farmland tax after obtaining meritorious service.”

"In this way, won't everyone go to farm?" The emperor frowned slightly. I'm afraid this proposal will be opposed by many people.

"When I return to the emperor, I won't all go to farm. The profits of the commercial firms are huge. Even if they pay more taxes, they are willing to do business, and the status of merchants in this dynasty is not low." What people care about is nothing more than Fame and fortune, since the status is not low, who would be willing to plan food in the fields.

Wu Daicheng looked at Lin Jishan, a little bewildered. He just mentioned it on the way here. The current tax is not reasonable. I didn't expect Lin Jishan to think of so much. Wu Daicheng looked at Lin Jishan in horror. Come from modern times!The rare system opened its mouth, "Are you an ancient person with a low IQ? Lin Jishan has been with you for so long, and his thinking has long been different, and his thinking has become much broader." Wu Daicheng was taken aback, thinking in his heart Silently sigh the wisdom of the ancients.

The emperor looked at Wu Daicheng, and then at Lin Jishan. He thought that what Lin Jishan just said was Wu Daicheng's suggestion, and Lin Jishan polished it.

"The system thinks that the master should clarify. The emperor here obviously mistook Lin Jishan's talent for your ideas." The system felt that it was hard for Lin Jishan to marry the master of his family. He was obviously very talented, but he was buried.

Wu Daicheng was a little speechless about the words of the system, but he didn't want Lin Jishan's talent to be recognized. "This method seems to be unfeasible. If the exemption from farmland tax for fame and fame is abolished, it may affect the interests of many people."

"Master Lin came up with the law of the tax system?" The emperor looked at Lin Jishan. I have such talents in the court, and I am fortunate to be promoted to Beijing.

"It shouldn't be said that I was thinking about it alone. It was my wife who mentioned that there is something wrong with our tax system, so I thought about it all the way. What I just said is just a general idea, and the specific idea has not been perfected yet." Lin Jishan felt that he and Wu Daichen were one. Yes, who's thinking doesn't need to be too clear.

"Master married a good man." The system concluded after relaying Lin Jishan's thoughts to Wu Daicheng.

Wu Daicheng lowered his head slightly, and silently replied, "I'm a man too."No matter how he answered the system, Wu Daicheng was moved in his heart. Wu Daicheng was very glad that he did not agree to this marriage at the beginning. If it were someone else, it would not be like Lin Jishan treated him.

Staying in the palace until leaving before the next key, the emperor and Lin Jishan discussed a series of ideas for tax reform.Although it is a feudal society now, the Son of Heaven is a very enlightened monarch, he pays great attention to talents, he will decisively adopt beneficial ideas, and thinks that good things that benefit the country and the people should be implemented.Now the division of labor in the imperial court is too general, and talents should be recruited widely. Just like what Lin Jishan said, the imperial court should have a more detailed supervision yamen, not to supervise who takes how many wives and concubines, nor to supervise who is filial or not. It's not about staring at who the emperor favors every day, who should be divorced, this supervisory office is responsible for whether officials have been corrupted, whether they have committed unjust, false or wrongful cases, whether they have oppressed the people, and whether they have not sought their posts in their positions. There is not even a traitor.

The issue of the tax system can be carried out slowly, but the matter of supervising the yamen must be handled quickly. This yamen does not belong to any of the six departments. It should directly belong to those in power and responsible persons. The emperor thought and thought.The emperor was not going to bring this decision to the court to discuss with the ministers. The emperor found that since he got in touch with Lin Jishan and his wife, he felt more and more that the thinking of the ministers in the court was too pedantic, and none of them wanted to accept new ideas. It is still the same old way of handling things, and the arguments in court every day are not who has more power, but civil and military disputes.The literati shouted that there is no need for so many soldiers because of the peace now, the military officer told the border countries to stare at each other, and the civilian officials were short-sighted.The emperor felt that the military officer's last sentence made sense, and the current civil servants are all short-sighted.

When Lin Jishan and Wu Daicheng returned home, the elders had been waiting, thinking that something had happened to the two of them, and they were relieved to see that they looked calm.Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, so it's no wonder the elders are worried.The two of them didn't talk about the emperor's decision, the less people know about some things, the better.The two didn't say anything, but Lin Wenliang opened his mouth to talk about a major event that happened in the capital today. The minister who handed over to Lin Jishan was dragged away from the gate of the city by the third prince.

Lin Jishan and his wife looked at each other, that minister ran fast enough, if the third prince was a step late, that person would have left the city, and it would not be so easy to find him. "Father, don't worry. That person stretched his hand too far. He emptied the treasury, and even got a negative balance. I don't know who he owes the money to."

"What!" Lin Wenliang and Mr. Wen couldn't believe it. The minister didn't look like a money-grubbing person.

"Father, grandpa, you know people and faces but don't know your heart." Lin Jishan shook his head.

"Okay, don't talk about government affairs after you go home, Jishan, what can you two eat?" Lin Wenshi stopped the men from talking about things, and the house may not be airtight, so you should be more careful when speaking.

"Eating is eating, and you are only half full." Eating with the emperor, Lin Jishan and his wife expressed that they were under a lot of pressure and had no appetite.
