Liu Yu turned his head and looked at the nobles from the aristocratic families sitting on both sides. Their eyes were full of dissatisfaction and anger when they looked at him. Obviously, what he just said made Liu Yi almost able to get what he said.
Satisfied with the result, they became uneasy again. Before Liu Yu could speak, Yu Yue rushed over and said: "Liu Marshal, what do you mean by nationalizing it? You know these industries very well. It turns out that they belong to our major families."
Yes, we still have old contracts in our hands."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "But the old contract in your hands is no longer valid, because you passed all these properties to Huan Xuan and his men, and they were all notarized at that time. If the contract in your hands is
The old contract is valid, so what if the old owners before you took over these properties also come to fight?"
Wang Yu said in a deep voice: "It's different. Huan Xuan directly robbed us of these properties. It was not a normal transfer. He used the power in his hands to force us to give up the property. If we refused, he would frame us. There were more than ten companies.
Even small and medium-sized aristocratic families have been ruined by him like this. Even your companions, whether it is Xi Legong or the Zhuge family, have also suffered a lot. This transaction is far from fair and should be invalid and void!"
All the children of the aristocratic families shouted: "Yes, this transfer is invalid and should be cancelled."
Liu Yu calmly looked at the children of these aristocratic families who were shouting. After they finished shouting, he sighed: "Then, may I ask all the heads, how much did you pay for these properties when they were still in your hands?"
Where’s the tax?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. The momentum that was about to make a big noise suddenly disappeared without a trace. Liu Yu turned to look at Liu Yi: "Xile, you have been in Jiankang for so long, you should
You know best, just tell me."
Liu Yi curled up his lips: "Well, most of the shops in my hands still have to pay taxes. It's just that the businesses in the hands of various aristocratic families, except for a few such as the Xie family and the Fan family, seem to have never paid taxes.
.”
Liu Yu laughed: "As expected, Mr. Yu, isn't it a little bad that your noble family occupies so much industry but doesn't pay taxes to the country?"
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "It's not that we evade taxes, but the national law stipulates that people with official status and titles can be exempted from taxes. Not only can they be exempted from their own taxes, but they can also be ranked according to their titles.
, exempting them from taxes and servants. As for the taxes on these industries, the country also has corresponding laws and regulations. Based on their merits as an official or in the military, they can be converted into tax reductions and exemptions for the industries under their name. This is also to reward service to the country.
For example, we, the Yu family, joined the army in the Northern Expedition and made military exploits. Later, they served as officials for many times and had excellent political achievements. They contributed to the country's efforts to put down civil strife several times. These achievements were affirmed during the court meeting.
Yes, so all the properties under my Yu family’s name and all the clerks in the shops do not need to pay taxes. If you don’t believe it, Mr. Liu can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to check.”
The nobles from other aristocratic families also echoed: "Yes, we have all contributed to the Jin Dynasty, made contributions to the country, and shed blood. This is what we deserve, and it is not tax evasion or tax evasion."
The smile on Liu Yu's face gradually solidified, and an aura of calmness and self-power spread in the hall, causing the chattering voices to gradually subside, and only Liu Yu could be heard saying loudly: "Everyone."
Sir, in terms of serving the country, going through life and death, bloodshed and sacrifice, which of you can compare with me?!"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his arms, and a volcanic eruption of momentum suddenly emerged, and the black outfit on his body suddenly turned into pieces of cloth and flew into the air. Under the light of the fire, his
A body of steel-like muscles catches everyone's eyes. The lines of the muscles are so graceful, full of the beauty of masculinity and strength. These children of the aristocratic family, who are usually loose and loose, can't help but be stunned, like the most beautiful female body.
Normally, men's muscles, which have just reached their peak, are actually so attractive.
However, in addition to these muscles that were as developed as spring-loaded steel plates, the dense scars all over Liu Yu's body were also shocking. There were six or seven sword scars that were more than five inches long, and Zhixing
There are as many as five or six stab wounds of about an inch in size. As for the tiny holes on the shoulders and arms, which are obviously caused by arrows, there are countless more. After seeing them, people can’t help but feel
My heart was pounding and I was terrified.
Liu Yu said loudly: "Look, these injuries were all suffered by me on the battlefield. From the first battle of the formation of the Beifu Army, the Battle of Junchuan, to the Battle of Fuzhoushan outside Jiankang City the day before yesterday, I, Liu
Yu has fought more than 600 major and minor battles in his life, and has more than 70 scars on his body. Not only me, but also my brothers, Xile, Liu Fan, Zhao Yi, Zhou Anmu, Zhuge Limin, and every Beifu veteran standing here, who is not a scar?
Tired? When it comes to charging for the country and bleeding and sacrificing our lives, we are the ones on the front line, not the nobles sitting in the back, far away from the battlefield, drinking and having fun, reciting poems and composing poems!"
Liu Yu's words were resounding. Except for Liu Yi, all the Beifu men in the hall took off their upper clothes one by one, revealing scars all over their bodies. Even Liu Mu, who was chubby and seemed to have difficulty walking.
After that, he also took off his shirt. Different from the impression that he was full of fat, this guy actually had some muscles on his body, and his abdomen also clearly looked like a six-pack, instead of just one like the children of these aristocratic families.
There were seven or eight long sword wounds and arrow wounds on his body, and two of them were still wrapped in bandages. They were obviously new wounds from the past few days.
Yu Yue's eyes widened: "Master Liu, how could you..."
Liu Muzhi laughed and said, "Don't look at me as fat. When it comes time to fight with a knife, I will do it. Everyone knows that I am a fat man who can settle accounts, but don't forget me. These twenty
Over the years, I have been on the battlefield many times. The sword has no eyes, so it has to be decorated with some colors. No, I was hit by two arrows two days ago. If it weren't for the fat man, I would be wearing movable armor and have some muscles.
To prevent arrow injuries, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed right now."
Liu Yu looked directly at Yu Yue and said in a deep voice: "We people have shed so much blood for the country, suffered so many injuries, and made such great contributions, but we have never been exempted from a penny of tax. What do you think?
How can you feel at ease and confidently say that your tax exemption is stipulated by national law? I can tell you here, as long as I, Liu Yu, keep my word, this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen again, from now on! Xile, what do you say?
!”
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Second!"
