Is this the great saint grandson of the Ming Dynasty?
Just ask the young lady to serve you?
Xia Yuanji and Tie Xuan, who didn't know Zhu Yunxi very well, couldn't help but feel stunned and opened their mouths not knowing what to do.
On the other hand, Xie Jin has been hanging out with Zhu Yunxi for some time.
He smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is in the Jiaofang Department now, but he has a very picky image. I'm afraid those young ladies are not willing to come."
Zhu Yunxi stared at him, looked for the vacant seat and sat down, grabbed a handful of fried beans, ate them, and muttered: "Ask Brother Weizhe how much money he took from me last time."
Xie Jin, Xia Yuanji, and Tie Xuan sat down and looked at Xia Yuanji, the head of the Department of Cleaning and Officials of the Ministry of Revenue opposite, with puzzled eyes.
Xia Yuanji, whose name was called, smiled bitterly and cupped his hands: "Your Highness, please spare Wei Chen. Wei Chen still feels uneasy when he thinks of those seven hundred taels of tax silver."
Xia Yuanji was really in trouble, looking at the seven hundred taels of tax money, it was like a hot potato.
After getting the money, he went to Zhao Mian, the Minister of Revenue, to explain. Before he could produce the voucher written by Zhu Yunxi, he was severely criticized by Zhao Mian.
If he hadn't finally taken out the certificate and placed it in front of Zhao Shangshu with spit on the air, I'm afraid I would have been examined by Xiu Mu at home.
Hearing this, Xie Jin raised his eyebrows and looked mysteriously at Zhu Yunxi, who was still eating fried beans: "Tax money? Your Highness went to the Ministry of Accounts to pay 700 taels of tax money?"
He knew that a few days ago, Zhu Yunxi borrowed four shops of the Chang family to sell iced food and iced jade jelly.
But what he never expected was that after Zhu Yunxi made money, he would actually use it to pay taxes at the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Seven hundred taels?
A few days ago, the iced food sold in Chang's shop was probably more than 6,000 taels for various reasons. As soon as it was sold, 700 taels were handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs?
A full 10% tax credit?
Zhu Yunxi met the eyes of the three people, nodded and said: "Taxation is the foundation of the country's finances. When I am a merchant, I should set an example and pay taxes proactively. As for the extra money, in the final analysis, it is for my Zhu family.
It’s just the country and the country.”
"Lead by example..." Xie Jin muttered in a low voice, but his heart was beating wildly.
The Minister of Rites on the side was even more moved when he saw the incident.
None of them are such stupid people, otherwise they will not be able to achieve outstanding achievements and achievements in the future.
After Xia Yuanji heard these words, his throat twitched and he almost couldn't swallow it.
"Pay actively?"
He, Xie Jin, and Tie Xuan looked at each other silently.
The three of them suddenly understood.
Seeing that the three of them understood what he meant, Zhu Yunxi took a sip of Sanbai wine, and then said: "The Ming Dynasty's million-strong army spent a lot of money on pay and supplies. The local and state governments spent a lot of money on dredging ditches every year and spending endless money on building new canals. If
Another natural disaster will be even more costly."
He was talking about being worried.
Hearing this, Xie Jin and the other three people all had serious expressions on their faces.
The world only knows that the Tian family enjoys endless glory and wealth, but they don’t know how much manpower and material resources are spent every moment to maintain this peaceful land.
And often, many things may not be accomplished even if they cost countless dollars.
Zhu Yunxi added: "Taxation is the fundamental source of wealth for the court, just like the trembling stream at the source of the river. It may not be a problem if there is a shortage in one place, but if there are problems everywhere, the flowing river will also dry up and stop flowing!
”
He took a deep breath, sighed and looked at the three of them: "You all know my intentions."
Jie Jin and the other three immediately responded with fists clasped.
What I said after I asked the young lady to accompany me can be said to be from the bottom of my heart.
The emperor and his grandson were just about to say the words about reform.
The three of them are all in their twenties, and they are full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit. They would not be moved to see the opportunity to participate in such a major social event.
After Xie Jin's heart surged for a while, he gradually frowned: "Your Highness, it's just that the founding of the Ming Dynasty is only twenty-four years old. If..."
He wanted to say, if the tax system was tampered with now, would the country that had finally been born peacefully fall into turmoil again?
Zhu Yunxi, however, raised his hand to interrupt Xie Jin's worries and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I am not asking you to gather here today because of what will happen in the future."
He has expressed his intention and made it clear that the reform of the Ming Dynasty's tax system is a matter of the future, not now.
Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, most of Xie Jin's worries finally disappeared.
Tie Xuan, who had just met Zhu Yunxi today, raised his hands and asked: "His Highness ordered me to come here today. What do you want to tell me?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said calmly: "You must know that I am observing the government in the court."
Tie Xuan nodded. Yesterday, this matter and the sentence "Good Saint Sun" had already spread throughout Yingtian City.
All kinds of people in the officialdom are probably still talking about it at this time.
Zhu Yunxi said again: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is leaving the west of Beijing to visit Guanzhong. Your Majesty is responsible for the state affairs memorial. You want me to accompany you to learn how to review and approve the memorial."
Your Majesty wants the Prince of Huaiyou County to participate in political affairs!
Seeing Zhu Yunxi say this himself, Xie Jin, Xia Yuanji, and Tie Xuan showed far more shocked reactions than when they heard that the emperor's grandson wanted to observe politics.
"I feel that I am not very familiar with state affairs, so I have asked your majesty that the three of you can accompany me in the palace from now on. When I review the state affairs memorials, I will make suggestions and decide the affairs of the country."
After Zhu Yunxi said the last sentence leisurely, he leaned back, counted the oil beans with one hand and put them into his mouth, gently squeezed the wine glass with the other hand, and tasted the Jiangnan Three White Wine.
Assist the emperor and his grandson in participating in political affairs!
Oh my god!
Almost at the same time, Xie Jin, Xia Yuanji, and Tie Xuan looked at each other with wide eyes. All three of them saw shock in each other's eyes.
Although he only assists the Prince of Huaiyou County in discussing political affairs and gives opinions from the side, this honor has never been received by anyone despite being invited to the Tianchao Hall several times!
Even though the emperor has not promoted them now, they still assist the emperor's grandson every day, show their face in front of the emperor, and provide opinions on the memorials of the country and the country. This is the honor of nobility that even the ministers and ministers do not have. p>
Xia Yuanji and Tie Xuan looked at Xie Jin with profound meaning.
They all recalled what Xie Jin said about the Shengsun Party before Zhu Yunxi arrived.
Looking back now, they really have become the Sun Sun Party!
Now we are assisting in the review of state memorials, but what about the future?
I dare not think about it!
I dare not think about it!
Zhu Yunxi watched the three people's reactions carefully and smiled in his heart.
"I want you to work harder. I respect you for this glass of wine today!"
With that said, he stood up and raised his hand to invite a cup.
The three of them, Jie Jin, faced for the first time in their lives the highest honor of being civil servants.
See Zhu Yunxi treat each other with sincerity again.
The three of them stood up one after another and raised their wine glasses.
"I must be loyal to you and do my best to live up to the high expectations of His Majesty and His Highness!"
Zhu Yunxi drank it all in one gulp, looked at the three of them, and shouted outside.
"I asked the ladies to come in and keep me company."
