"When you go to the Ministry of Revenue to pay taxes, our family will pay as much as others pay!"

There was a burden at Juan's feet, and the housekeeper said reluctantly: "Master, our family is exempted from taxes by His Majesty's grace. This... the empress was proud in the palace. We can't be embarrassed!"

Juan pointed to Baofu and said, "The Empress sent someone to spread a message, saying that the more this time, the more we should be honest in our family."

He said with a frown: "My uncle is incompetent and cannot help the Queen and Meili, so he can only be honest and at least not cause trouble in the palace."

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and took a bag to the Ministry of Revenue. After explaining the situation clearly, the person who received the Ministry of Revenue said admirably: "This is the royal relative! OK!"

The housekeeper was puzzled, so he found a place to drink and relieve his boredom after he came out.

There are many people in the tavern, and the smell of inferior wine and sweat are mixed together, which is really bad.

The housekeeper asked for a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine, and he slowly drank it with sorrow alone.

The queen gave birth to a prince and had a strange phenomenon. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely be the future Prince.

Then Juan is the national uncle!

But this uncle is even more courageous than the mouse's, and he always thinks about whether this matter will have any bad effects on the Empress and Your Highness in the Palace.

Why!

After drinking half a pot of wine, the housekeeper was slightly drunk and listened to the big men bragging.

"...Those scholars were panicked, and the tenants were panicked. I heard that these people cursed Xing He Bo behind their backs, saying that he had no fucking yan for giving birth to a son, and that it would definitely be a scout of the family and the family would be destroyed in the future..."

"That's right, think about the good days he was ruined by him, hehe! But what's up to us?"

"That's right, those scholars have too big mouths and just raise their mouths like this. Even if the fields belong to them, how can they be such a good thing?"

"Those scholars are unwilling to accept it! I heard that Xing and Bo killed people in Jinan, so they suppressed these people."

"I think this is good, why don't they pay taxes?"

"That's the Wenqu Star in the sky, and Wenqu Star also has to pay taxes?"

"What Wenqu Star? How many juren from the Ming Dynasty are Jinshi? They are all Wenqu Stars? I saw that the sky is full of Wenqu Stars, so I was dizzy."

"That's right, Xing and Bo's family have paid taxes. According to me, everyone should pay taxes in the world. Then everyone lives by their ability. Whoever is good or bad is their ability, and it is fate."

“…”

The butler shook his head and suddenly understood Juan's thoughts.

The Empress was walking on thin ice in the palace, and there was also a Sun family staring at her. If the Empress was not careful, she would be caught...

Tax can be paid, but this housekeeper really can't understand.

It’s a frustrating enough to not be able to show off your power, and you still pay taxes. What kind of uncle is this?

"Calling accounts."

He handed over the money for the wine and staggered to get up and go out.

“…I heard from me!”

After a silence, the butler stood at the door, feeling that his home was not as powerful as the idle man in this tavern, and he suddenly felt uninterested.

"I have a younger brother who studies science. Does science know? He is his Majesty's student."

Fool!

The housekeeper thought this man was pure fool.

Although Zhu Zhanji is known as the pioneer of science, he is just a name, and those who take it seriously are fools.

He shook his head and walked out of the door.

"What science says is that you should either treat everyone preferentially or not, otherwise it will be Mars sooner or later..."

The housekeeper stopped and was about to turn back, the man continued proudly: "What is it... Human nature is greedy, those scholars are proud enough, and they can still be officials. Once preferential treatment is given, what will it be... Greedy is like fire, and it will burn the Ming Dynasty!"

"I have heard of that. It's like greed, and if it doesn't stop, it will start a prairie fire!"

A scholar and the butler passed by, he entered the tavern and said in a singular manner: "If you wait for the big rebellion, you should be stabbed in the West Market if these words are heard."

There was a silence inside, and then a casual man started to cheer and said, "This is something that Your Majesty and the court are all saying that you are greedy, can't we say?"

The scholar said coldly: "The fool only knows that he should be stupid for the rest of his life when he barks!"

These words compared the people in the tavern to dogs, and the crowd was immediately excited.

"Fuck! I'm stupid to see you!"

A big man gave his companion a wink, then stood up and smiled grimly, "Your good days are gone, do you know? You still want to take charge of lawsuits and collect investments! Now your Majesty and the court want to cure you borers, but you dare to learn to bark and beat them!"

After a burst of noise, the scholar was beaten to the point of a bruised face, turned around and pointed inside and said, "You wait, wait!"

The butler looked at the man blankly, and even saw the few nose hairs that emerged from his nostrils.

It is said that this is a loss of money!

The shouting of losing is the most boring. The scholar was scared away by a wine glass smashed out of the tavern.

But the housekeeper was thinking deeply.

Back home, he went to find Juan.

"Master, it's hard for scholars outside to live."

Juan nodded and said, "The Empress can stand up now. She knows no less in the palace than us, but... this matter needs to be seen, so let's be honest."

The housekeeper understood and said, "Then our family pays taxes, that's what it means, let everyone see the Empress's family follow His Majesty..."

Juan said blankly: "I don't know, it's certain to follow Your Majesty. Everyone is waiting for Your Majesty and the court to make a decision. Once you decide to exempt the gentry from preferential treatment, then... it's a storm!"

...

The matter has been discussed several times between the monarch and his ministers, and the memorials from officials from all over the country have piled up, all of which are statements about the matter.

"Slowly..."

Zhu Zhanji appeared in the Qianqing Palace in military uniform today, and all the ministers felt the murderous intent.

"You must not hesitate about major events, otherwise it will only make people speculate."

Yang Rong's eyes flashed and he left the shift and said, "Your Majesty, can you cut it in half?"

He was also unable to help himself. As the chief minister, he was under great pressure.

Even his relatives wrote to him, saying that he only knew how to accept the emperor and was almost like a slander.

Half is a suggestion that can cushion conflicts, and the ministers immediately agreed.

After listening to their suggestions, Zhu Zhanji said coldly: "You are all important officials who assist me. I want to say something to you today..."

The ministers stood up straight and felt something was wrong.

Zhu Zhanji stood up, held the hilt of the knife in his left hand, looked up at the roof and said, "Xiao Gui Cao Sui, that is the king who is in charge; being content with the status quo is a dying country; how to innovate, how to innovate?"

The ministers bowed and knew that the delays over the past few days had finally brought about the emperor's anger and showdown.

"It's not innovation when fearing hands and feet, like a woman. Back then, it wasn't innovation. In the Song Dynasty, it wasn't innovation. How to innovate a group of people dragged one person?"

This is a bit harsh, and he compares the ministers to women, who specializes in doing things that are dragging their backs.

Zhu Zhanji stood above, his legs slightly apart, and said firmly: "If the Ming Dynasty wants to be difficult forever, it is necessary to reflect on it all the time. If you find a problem, you should act immediately. What I want is to be a minister who is dedicated to the country, not to hesitate. So what do I want you to wait?"

"Sharp! I can't see sharpness in you!"

"Move! Let those people see the will of the court unswervingly, otherwise I will leave the palace in person and show the emperor's determination to all officials!"

"I'm waiting for thousands of deaths..."

The emperor was high above, looking down at the ministers as if he was in the clouds. He drew out his long sword and the ministers were trembling.

"It is not the Ming Dynasty, but the former Song Dynasty!"

Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "The Ming Dynasty wants to prosper forever forever, it depends not only on those people, but the people! The people are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!"

The ministers stood up, Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, turned around and looked at the imperial throne, murmured: "How many lessons are taught, but I can't see clearly. What did those people eventually get? The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed..."

He closed his eyes and heard the sound of ministers walking out of the hall.

He seemed to see the flames rising in the imperial city, and amid the rampant laughter, countless swords and guns flashed in the sunset of the empire.

He seemed to see the hole in the side wall open, and countless alien cavalry roared and rushed into the Central Plains in ecstasy.

He seemed to have seen the killings, the villages were burned, and countless corpses fell to where they lived for generations.
