The prime minister always builds a floor in the imperial study

On the second day, the emperor issued an imperial decree that all merchants must offer [-]% of the proceeds to the treasury!Anyone who has relatives and family members who are officials must pay [-]%!

As soon as the imperial decree was posted on the city wall, some people applauded and some shouted, some smashed eggs and some threw flowers, all in all a mess!As a brothel, Qingfeng Pavilion handed over 1 taels of snowflake silver, which is not a small amount. According to this calculation, it was 10 taels of snowflake silver that year, which really blinded the eyes of a group of people!This brothel has become a role model, how can other businesses swallow this breath!

On the same day, all the business owners went to the yamen to pay taxes, of course, there were more or less, and those who sold sesame seed cakes were only a few pennies. Some opened shops with dozens or hundreds of taels, but the most Just a few hundred taels, let alone more than 1 taels.

"Wangyue Tower, the second restaurant in the capital, has as many as 1000 guests per day, and the annual income is at least 200 million taels, and 20% is 2000 taels of silver, but he only paid [-] taels. Your Majesty, what do you think?" The account books that came up, the prime minister pointed to one of them and said to the emperor.

"See with your eyes." The emperor leaned over and said something.The prime minister is speechless...

Taxes are calculated based on income, and income also determines how much money the treasury can receive. The most critical part of it is on this ledger. It is absolutely impossible for this family to make false accounts, but Prime Minister Lan intends to start from this Tossing, not for anything else, because this store is opened by the Queen Mother's cousin.

The queen mother's family is rich, especially rich, but, Prime Minister Lan just can't see anyone having more money than the emperor, and Lan Shuming can get a fortune from the emperor's money, but the queen mother can't get any of it. This man is sick, pink eye disease!

"Pull the hair on the empress dowager's head, do you think your life is too long?" The emperor shook his head helplessly.

This queen mother is not his own mother, but it's okay, he just doesn't understand why Prime Minister Lan always gets along with the queen mother, when he asked Prime Minister Lan, Prime Minister Lan just replied shamelessly: "The mother-in-law doesn't get along!"

The emperor still decided not to ask such a stupid question, it would lower his IQ too much!

"No, no, no, I'm still young, I haven't lived enough, I haven't come in a hurry to have a vigorous, overwhelming love with the emperor! Still..."

"That's enough, you can roll as far as the imperial dining room is!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Once this person is hungry, he will easily become dizzy and talk nonsense!

After lunch, the emperor and Prime Minister Lan changed into casual clothes. Prime Minister Lan painted a black scar on his beautiful face, added a few moles, painted a beard and eyebrows for himself.

"Your Majesty, how good-looking is this minister?" The prime minister moved a little closer.

"It's a work of genius!" The emperor walked out first, just like that, he couldn't bear to look directly at him!Competing with Mr. Zhou can't be described clearly by two words: ugly!

After leaving the palace gate, the emperor went straight to the Moon Tower. Just after entering the gate, he saw the emperor in a fine attire. The little boy's eyes glowed with gold. In a blink of an eye, he saw the horrific Prime Minister behind him. Get out, anyway, the attitude is not so bad!

"Fuck off, save you bastard! Do you have any money! Come to the restaurant to eat, beg Huazi and go!" The little second made a gesture to drive the prime minister out, but who is the prime minister, who enjoys teasing others for fun and treats others Pain for pleasure!

As soon as Xiao Er finished speaking, he took out an ingot of gold from his pocket, swaggered open Xiao Er, and walked inside.

Xiaoer now recognizes money but not people, so he invites the prime minister directly. As for the emperor, of course he is not left behind.

After entering the gate, Xiaoer did not greet Lan Shuming after serving the dishes. Naturally, the emperor over there looked more like a distinguished guest.

The "shunfeng ear" on the street said that the shopkeeper of Wangyuelou likes to hide the account book under the counter, and usually he can't steal it without any skills. He stands by the side all year round and watches closely. It is a talent.It is absolutely impossible to copy the house. A person who can hide the account book in the toilet is really not to be underestimated.

"Master! Why did you eat an earthworm in this dish!" The emperor poked the chopsticks on the plate, and it turned out to be an earthworm half an inch long!The whole thing was burnt, and it looked extremely disgusting!

On weekdays, Wangyue Tower had many guests coming in for dinner, and there were quite a few guests today. Hearing this, he immediately vomited outside, wishing to vomit all the contents of his intestines.

As soon as Xiaoer heard this, he hurried over, this, this, this...

"Where is your shopkeeper! Tell him to come!" The emperor sat on the edge of the railing on the second floor, and his speech was so empty that he could be heard clearly from the upper and lower floors.

The shopkeeper who was settling accounts just rushed up, and before he saw what was in the emperor's bowl, he yelled: "I have been in Wangyue Tower for a few years, and there has never been such a situation. Could it be that the young master wants to eat the king's meal?" Nonsense! Don’t think that if you catch an earthworm on the ground, you can pass through!”

The rumors outside are indeed good. The shopkeeper just saw that he was a warm-hearted owner, and he always smiled when he saw the guests, but when he encountered a disturbance, he immediately revealed his true colors. It was a fight with that shrew to swear!

"Shopkeeper, look carefully, this earthworm is burnt, can I still catch an earthworm and roast it on the spot! Besides, since the shopkeeper said that I caught it on the ground, it can be seen that this The house is very dirty, and you can even catch earthworms on the ground, which really makes me feel disgusted!" The emperor said without changing his face, but fortunately he listened to the prime minister's suggestion, and roasted the earthworms with charcoal fire in the imperial study ahead of time , it really disgusted him for a while to bring it all the way!

At the time of the noise, the prime minister who was pretending to finish eating and paying the bill on the first floor had already approached the counter, looked back, but no one saw him, he dodged, got into the counter, squatted down and looked through a stack of A stack of account books, this account book is very thick, the prime minister grabbed the two account books and put them in his arms.

The people upstairs were still arguing, and the shopkeeper told the emperor that he didn't know how to reply, so he said: "This is a new dish in our store, which is said to be absolutely nourishing! No, during the trial period, I didn't expect to give it to you. The young master brought it up, I really offended you, and the little one will remove the dishes from the table and replace them with new ones!" After finishing the order viciously to the little two, the shopkeeper turned his head to face the dish again. Zhao Fengling said: "My lord, in order to make amends, I won't charge you for the food today, please use it."

After speaking, he raised his head and said to the diners: "Misunderstanding, everyone, please continue to use it slowly!"

Disgusting is disgusting, but the things in Wangyue Tower are really good, and there are no earthworms in his bowl, so the diners gradually fell silent.

"Hmph, no need!" Seeing that the things were already in hand, the emperor would not be in the mood to sit down to eat, and he didn't know how many people had eaten the chopsticks. Thinking about it made him feel sick!

The emperor walked out of the restaurant in such a swaggering way, got into the small sedan chair that came over, and quickly disappeared from the shopkeeper's sight.When I turned around and entered the door, I found that a table was vacant, and there were still a few dishes on the table.

"Little Er, Xiao Er!"

"Come on, shopkeeper, you call me!"

"Where are the people at the table? Did you pay the bill?"

"Hey! Where's the person? He was still here just now!" Xiaoer is also very stupid, he doesn't even know how to pretend, so he betrayed himself so foolishly!

"Idiot!" Thinking of another person running away like this, the shopkeeper's mood became even worse. He cracked his abacus, and in a short while, he finished the remaining few pages of the account, and was about to hand over the account book. When I put it on the bottom, I realized why this stack of ledgers was so short?

Feeling puzzled for a while, he knelt down and counted, and it turned out that two books were really missing!He was shocked!I met the broom star today!

On the second day, officers and soldiers took people to search Moon Tower, and they heard that several million taels worth of silver bills were copied from Moon Tower, and Moon Tower was seized immediately, and everyone from the boss to the staff was imprisoned in the prison. .

Without waiting for the notification to come home, those merchants who did not pay taxes normally the day before honestly made up the amount that was missing before. All kinds of strange reasons were used, anyway, as long as they can be prevaricated.

Of course, the emperor and the prime minister don't care what the other party's reasons are. Anyway, as long as they see the money, everything else is not important!

That night, when the prime minister was happy, he warmed a pot of wine in the imperial study. It was very pleasant. It was a good wine he picked from the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the palace last year. Lan Shuming didn't remember exactly which palace the lady was from, but only vaguely remembered that the girl seemed to have been thrown into the cold palace.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus in the palace is different. The wine brewed here is more fragrant than the wine from other places!" The prime minister took a deep breath of the aroma and said with satisfaction.

"It's a bit fragrant, but it's a pity that I drank all the osmanthus from the previous years, and only last year's is left. This year, I specially asked someone to transplant a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus in the imperial garden. The harvest is not bad, it should be enough for many years!" the emperor said. Sitting by the stove.

The prime minister remained silent, picked up the jug and poured a cup for the emperor and another cup for himself, picked it up and sniffed it, and drank a cup in one gulp, destroying Prime Minister Sun's prestige and copying the empress dowager's natal family. It's a joy, a joy!

"Don't drink too fast, no one will carry you when you get drunk later!" The emperor warned from the side.

But this prime minister is addicted to alcohol, and he hasn't smelled such a strong aroma of wine for several days, so how could he give up this opportunity? I had something to eat in the evening, and now the alcohol is not coming so fast.
