Chapter 46 Entering the Pavilion

At the beginning of November, Han You officially joined the cabinet, and Li Tian and Wang Wensi helped him move all his papers and ink into the small cabinet courtyard in the southeast corner of the palace.

The entrance to the small courtyard is a courtyard, in which bluegrass and bamboo are planted, implying that the ministers introspect themselves every day, and demand themselves with the conduct of orchids and bamboos.A small three-story building facing the gate is where the cabinet ministers work.

It is said to be a small building, but in fact it is spacious and magnificent enough. There is a lobby in the middle of the first floor, and on both sides of the lobby are the value rooms of the cabinet ministers.Han You's office is in the second room on the east side of the lobby, next to Wu Wenci's office.

The duty room has one entry and two levels, with a study room, meeting room, and rest room. Because it is convenient for the cabinet ministers to be on duty at night, there is also a small bathroom in the rest room.During extraordinary times, cabinet ministers sometimes lived in the palace for several months.

After tidying up, the cabinet servants came in and served tea for the three of them. Han You sat down at the huge mahogany desk and said to Li Tian and Wang Wensi, "Thank you, you two sit down for a while before leaving."

Li Tian entered the cabinet yard for the first time, looked around strangely, turned around the several rooms inside, and sighed: "This place is too spacious, bigger than my house."

Wang Wensi had a higher official position than Li Tian, ​​and had been to the cabinet several times before, so he was much calmer now, sitting opposite Han You, holding a teacup and savoring it carefully, "Sure enough, the best tea purchased by the imperial court has been sent to the cabinet. We can’t drink such a good Dahongpao in the Ministry.”

Han You smiled, "You like to have someone pack a box for you later and take it home with you."

Wang Wensi stood up solemnly and bowed, "Then I will thank Mr. Han Ge first."

The three chatted for a while, and a familiar servant came in to report that His Majesty the Emperor had summoned Han Shangshu to see him.

Wu Wenci knew that Han You was going to enter the cabinet today, so he sat in the duty room and waited early in the morning, but he didn't see Han You coming to see him until noon.The officials knocked on the door and came in to ask him to have lunch in the hall. He asked a casual question, only to know that Han You had been summoned by the emperor.

Several cabinet ministers sat down in front of the rosewood table in the hall, Zhou Kui asked: "Would you like to eat together when Han You comes back?"

The servant standing on the side said: "Words came from Changle Palace, saying that Mr. Han is having lunch with His Majesty, and the elders don't have to wait for him."

"Han You is really busy now, I have to say hello in advance if I want to see him," Zhan Yu said, "He arranged for me to draw points for the bamboo and wood yard, and asked our Ministry of Industry to set up a place. I'm so overwhelmed, I finally figured it out now. I have to stop him this afternoon and ask him to allocate the money for dredging the Jinghu Canal to me."

Zhan Yu’s bamboo and wood farms are part of the industrial, customs and commercial taxes. They are set up on major traffic arteries, and a tax of [-] in [-] is imposed on the bamboo, timber, and firewood trafficked by merchants.Han You advocated special taxation for special purposes. This tax is dedicated to building ships and dredging rivers, so let the Ministry of Industry collect it.

At this time, in the Xinuan Hall of Changle Palace, what Han You was looking at in his hand was the atlas of taxation points sent by the Ministry of Industry.

This year's weather is abnormal, and the winter moon has warmed up again. Han You's winter official clothes are a little thicker. After lunch, he feels hot. He took off his shoes and leaned on the imperial couch, revealing a slender and beautiful ankle. .

Because the implementation of the commercial tax was imminent, he worked late for several days. At this time, he was a little tired, and said lazily: "Shangshu Zhan is reliable in his work, and he set the point in just ten days."

Xia Siyan went to change his clothes, took off his shoes and lay down on the couch, hugged him from behind, resting his chin on his neck, "Well, you asked him to collect the tax and spend it himself, of course he was active .”

"It's not like letting him collect it and spend it himself, but the Ministry of Household Affairs has to make overall arrangements. It's just that this part of the quota is reserved for him, otherwise it will be messed up." Han You yawned, pressed Xia Siyan's dishonest hand, Gently pushed away, "I'm too tired these days, Your Majesty, please show me some compassion."

Xia Siyan bit the soft flesh on the side of his neck, and complained loudly: "I haven't hugged you for a long time, and I'm busier than me every day. If it wasn't for sending someone to the cabinet to arrest you today, you still have to wait until When will you remember me?"

"I don't remember you coming," Han You looked at the album, slid his fingertips across the paper, and turned a page lightly, "As soon as the commercial and tax arrangements are completed, it will be a matter for the government, and that matter is even more troublesome. , There are a lot of gossips, and there may be quarrels at His Majesty's court meeting."

Xia Siyan's eyes followed his fingers as he moved across the album, but his mind wasn't on the album.Han You held both hands down, hooked his trousers with his toes, and slid up his exposed ankles.Han You paused while flipping through the book, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to go back to the cabinet."

Xia Siyan withdrew his foot and honestly admitted his mistake, "Well, I won't move, let Han Aiqing move."

Han You pretended not to understand his flirting, turned another page, and said, "Tax payment is like this for the time being, everything that can be thought of in advance has been thought of, and after the implementation, we will find any mistakes and make up for it."

"I thought it was already good," Xia Siyan took advantage of his mouth, after all he felt sorry for his hard work recently, so he changed his position so that he could nest in his arms more comfortably, and said, "You can discuss with Zhan Yu, the wage tax and If the tax points of household tariffs can be set together, don’t set them up separately, and you don’t need to send so many people, the more people you have, the easier it is for problems to cause you trouble.”

"I think so too," Han You lay so comfortably in Xia Siyan's arms that he couldn't help falling asleep, and closed his eyes and said, "I thought of a way to solve the problem of repeated class registration, that is The right material can never be found."

Xia Siyan kissed his face, rubbed his lips against his ear, and asked vaguely: "What method?"

"Your Majesty knows that our commercial tax is divided into two types." Han You was itchy, hid, opened his eyes slightly, and explained with vigor, "The tax mentioned just now is collected from merchants who sell goods. As for the residential tax, it is collected according to the amount of incoming and outgoing goods. Some goods are taxed once by the customs clearance card when they are delivered, and taxed again when they are sold on the market, which is repeated."

"Well, you mentioned this question during the court meeting. Didn't you say that different tax standards should be formulated?"

"That would be too troublesome, and the tax officials below would not be able to figure out how much tax should be levied on what kind of goods." Han You looked back at the emperor and smiled slyly. "I have a better way."

Xia Siyan was fascinated by his smile. Ever since they really blended together on his birthday, Han You would occasionally show a vivid expression that was rarely seen before like this, as if there was really something hidden under his upright and serious shell. He found a soul-stirring monster, and just showing a little clue was enough to make the young emperor of Zhao Kingdom crazy about him.

Even if Han You said that he wanted to be the Lord of the World at this time, Xia Siyan would hand over the throne to him without hesitation.

"I just want to," Han You said softly, "If you can issue a voucher to the merchants, let them record how much they paid when paying taxes, so that they can be deducted when they pay taxes next time."

"Very good." Xia Siyan responded, felt a little sweat on Han You's collar, and helped him unbutton the collar.

Han You raised his head in cooperation, and continued: "But this thing is difficult to control the counterfeiting of merchants. The deduction is cash. If someone forges the tax certificate, it is equivalent to stealing money from the treasury. If you can find a It would be nice to have a kind of paper that can be printed with cipher text, so that people cannot forge it."

"Use the kind of Chupi paper that was printed in the previous dynasty?"

"Although Chupi paper is expensive, big merchants can't afford it. After all, they have to pay hundreds of taels of tax for the goods."

Xia Siyan unbuttoned his four buttons, his eyes fell on his beautiful collarbone, "I have a way."

"what?"

"Sir, do you still remember that I ordered someone to fire the Huzhou Wen Kiln?" Xia Siyan pinched his waist while talking, "Mr. still quarreled with me over this matter."

Han You held his hand and interlocked his fingers, "Remember."

"At that time, a craftsman mixed a small amount of moonstone powder with clay, and fired a kind of porcelain that could change color when exposed to light. Writing and painting on it with ink could not fade when exposed to water."

Han You raised his eyebrows, "Porcelain made of moonstone? The cost is too high."

"Only need a small amount of moonstone," Xia Siyan explained, "The craftsman is an old man in the palace, he can be trusted, and I will order him to come over tomorrow and ask carefully."

Han You immediately became interested: "Why don't we call him now..."

Xia Siyan hugged him tightly, leaned over and kissed him, rubbed his whole body into his arms, and said viciously: "After holding you for a while, do you still want to see other men?"

Han You was amused, raised his hand to hold Xia Siyan's face, and called the emperor's name word by word: "Xia Siyan."

The emperor hummed, and Han You called again: "Xia Siyan." This time it was in an emotional tone, with a slight tremor at the end, and the pupils of his pupils were also stained red.

The emperor couldn't help being called out by him.

Han You felt that place against him, smiled softly, and said softly, "I like you so much."

Xia Siyan's eyes became fierce, and his breathing gradually became heavier, as if a beast was about to attack.Han You knew that he couldn't escape today, so he bent his legs and hooked Xia Siyan's waist frankly, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm too tired, I don't want to move anymore, Your Majesty, let's move."
