Wang Wenzheng looked at Yan Bing in the main hall, who was as graceful as a giant but also as a giant, and then at the frightened civil and military officials... He couldn't help but feel a trace of envy... a bit of jealousy in his heart...
...After being speechless for a long time, he turned slightly sideways and said to Lin He beside him: "Tell Zhan Shifu, remember to go back and replace the gold brick in the palace with another one..."
"yes!!"
Lin He accepted the offer
Yan Bing on the side turned slightly red after hearing this. He raised his hand and pulled out the sword, throwing it outside the palace. Qingxuan drew a beautiful arc and slowly flew back to the Xuande Gate. The guards stared at him with big eyes.
Now, it was gently inserted back into the sheath, and there was no more sound...
A guard who was a little more courageous poked Qingxuan with the scabbard. Seeing that the sword had no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief and gently put the sword back to its original position.
Yan Bing, who was in the palace, turned around, bowed his hands towards the imperial platform... and softly apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I... I have overstepped my bounds..."
"Hahaha... It doesn't matter! The emperor's sister is angry because of me, and for the people of the world, so what's the crime? Come to peace as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your understanding!!"
Yan Bing straightened up slowly, and among the several civil servants who were so frightened that their legs went weak and they stood up in a hurry, no one dared to say even a single word. They just lowered their heads quietly, thoughtfully...
Wang Wenzheng sat on the dragon chair and smiled. Seeing that all the ministers were silent, he had no choice but to ask: "What is the third plan of the emperor's sister?"
Upon hearing this, Baiguan, who had just calmed down, immediately tensed up his nerves and listened carefully...
Yan Bing bowed his head slightly, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, these three strategies are strategies to keep pace with the times. Today, our business in Daliang is prosperous, and there are many merchants, all of which benefit from Your Majesty's rule.
The state is prosperous, and the world is singing and dancing, so it is time for them to contribute to our Daliang households. However, poor businessmen have little profit, and there is no way to find out what the rich businessmen are doing, so it is better to take a sharp approach and collect them all."
merchant……
call……
Many nervous civil servants breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking. Only Wu Guangxiao was in a happy mood and hurriedly stepped forward to start a fight...
"I dare to ask, what is the one-sword strategy that Prince Yan mentioned? Please tell me in detail, so that I can take action!!"
"It's easy to say," Yan Bing nodded lightly, and Lang Lang said: "This one-step strategy is to tax small businesses with small taxes, and tax large businesses with huge taxes. Small businessmen, street vendors, and roadside teahouses will only tax each household for a year.
Fifty Wen, everyone who enters the tax will be given a voucher, and when they enter the market, they will come out without any tax. Although the tax is small, there are as many foot traders in the world as stars, and their total number will surely be in the millions and not end."
"Okay!! Okay!! Now there are millions more income!! Then... what is the huge tax on giant merchants...?"
"The so-called huge tax on merchants is divided by industry and based on the store. For example, in the cloth industry, each store only charges five taels of silver per year. For example, inns and restaurants charge ten taels of silver per store per year. For example, brothels, banks, and gambling houses
, For those who make a lot of money, each shop will have one hundred taels per year. As for other businesses, they will be divided in detail and the amount of donations will be discussed with Wu Shangshu before I write a detailed memorial and send it to His Majesty." Bayi Chinese website.
Yan Bing was talking, and Wu Guangxiao was doing mental calculations with his fingers. By the time Yan Bing finished speaking, Wu Guangxiao had finished his rough calculations. He was already so happy that snot bubbles almost came out of his nose. He took out a small abacus from his official uniform.
The officials, both civil and military, were beating the ground with loud banging sounds. The more they beat, the harder they beat.
He became more and more addicted to playing, and the last digit in the abacus was not enough. He hurriedly raised his hand to the emperor and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Can Zhan Shifu bring two sets of abacus! Even if Chen Guang is weak in these shops in the capital,
My mind is all messed up!! Hahahaha!!”
"Then don't leave after you retire from the court. Stay and count the cards slowly! What's the etiquette of counting cards in this hall? Just bear with it for a while!" As Wang Wenzheng finished these words, other officials
He immediately cast an envious look at Wu Guangxiao. It was a supreme honor to be asked by the emperor to ask questions and to have lunch by the way! How many people may not be able to get this honor after serving as officials for a lifetime.
Wu Shangshu... is going to be reused by the emperor...
How could Wu Guangxiao not understand the emperor's implication? He quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty!! Thank you for your kindness!!!"
Wang Wenzheng nodded lightly, then flicked his sleeves to signal him to lie down, and then looked at Yan Bing...
"Imperial sister, have you finished talking about this plan of swordsmanship?"
The reason why Wang Wenzheng asked this was because he had already prepared a decree regarding Yan Bing's reward for the battle against Japan and was waiting to announce it in public. Unexpectedly, Yan Bing bowed his hands and shouted loudly: "My lord,
Not finished yet…”
"Not finished yet?? Then tell me...what else do you want to add..."
"Yes!!" Yan Bing bowed, stood up, and said slowly and calmly: "This plan also includes a tax, called subscription!! It is for those whose wealth is far greater than that of a brothel.
What the wealthy businessmen of gambling houses and banks have prepared is based on their patriotism and their own abilities. The taxes they voluntarily paid are not subject to compulsory taxation..."
"Pfft~~"
"Hehehe..."
"Hehehehehe..."
After Yan Bing said this, the civil and military officials looked at each other and smiled without saying a word...
Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t know that businessmen value profits and value money more than their own lives? How could they take the initiative to subscribe based on their patriotism? Wouldn’t it be ridiculous to say that such a government is empty and useless?
But Yan Bing didn't take it seriously in the face of the crowd's sneers, and continued to speak loudly: "Although I am not talented, I consider myself to be the leader of the world's giant businessmen. No one can be better than me, so I am willing to do it in the world."
First of all, as an example...please donate...10 million taels every year..."
"Crack!!"
"Cough cough cough cough!!!"
"What!?? What did Prince Yan just say!??"
"She said!! The annual subscription is... 10 million taels!!!"
"Wow——!!!"
The ministers, who had just calmed down for a while, suddenly started to act randomly again...
The civil servants who had been helping Yan Bing with their own land and generosity from all over the world felt their faces burning and sweating, and they all lowered their heads in shame, but what Yan Bing wanted to say the most was...
Still behind...
“I beseech your Majesty to take possession of this world’s wealth, take it from the people, benefit the people, build roads and bridges extensively, set up many schools, so that all the people can be educated and know the emperor’s grace, and support the court as your own responsibility, then I will...
