If I don't live well, no one should think about living well. If I suffer, no one will be able to relax. There are always people like this in the world, and that's what Chen Qi from Langzhou is like now.
Considering Chen Qi's mental journey in the past few months, his behavior is not surprising.
When he became the vanguard of the confrontation with the imperial court, his colleagues in the entire imperial court were encouraging him openly and covertly. Even when the officials issued an edict, they asked local prefectures and counties to voluntarily implement the imperial edict on royalties. Then
At that time, the Chen family seemed to have reached the prestige they had when their grandfather and father were still alive, with cars running like water and horses like dragons.
After the court's sanction order against the Chen family was announced by Li Chang at his nephew's full moon banquet, only his own family members were left at the entire banquet, and not even a single gift was left.
The Chen family has become a joke to the entire Chengdu Prefecture, and even the entire dynasty. Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter. As long as the Chen family is still within the power structure of the dynasty and still in the mainstream of the Song Dynasty, with a history of nearly a hundred years, they will have no worries about turning over.
However, the news that came randomly was that his younger brother's political participation was replaced. Although Chen Qi is a sixth-rank official, the political participation in the dynasty is not purely linked to official rank. Because the younger brother is the master of the ancestral land, Lang,
The state was the territory of the Chen family, so they had a seat to participate in politics. It was just wiped out.
Chen Qi did not want the Chen family in Langzhou to break away from the power structure of the Song Dynasty in his generation, so he went to Beijing. What happened again? His relatives and friends were all passers-by!
The so-called gentry is not just a few scholars in the family, but a gentry without a power structure, in the end it is just a scholar.
After the official sanctioned the Chen family, Chen Qi got a glimpse of today's court...it is the real court where the official decides. The moment he was abandoned by his colleagues, Chen Qi decided to become a close
The aristocratic family that follows the official family... Although this is just his consciousness, whether he is enough to follow the official family closely, he is not in the Chen family in the official family.
Therefore, he broke the boat and made a statement on the main page of "Shi Lun" regarding controversial issues in the court.
There was an uproar!
"Shi Lun" has been reprinted twice, and all the sales points in Bianliang have been adding more. Who would have thought that an announcement would cause such a big response.
"How's it going?"
"Back at the official house, all the sales points in Bianliang will be sold out in an instant. "Shi Lun" will be sold out in an instant. Not only the courtiers, but also the merchants and the common people are paying attention to the land occupation tax increase law. Today's political participation
When discussing politics, almost everyone has a copy of "Shi Lun", and group discussions are all silent."
That's it. Zhao Xi is very satisfied with the effect.
"Wang Jiefu is shameless!"
Han Qi threw the arrival report directly on the desk and yelled at Fu Bi angrily. Fu Bi knew his temper.
"Pheasant Gui, Wang Jiefu cannot do such a thing, nor will he do such a thing."
"Guanjia······?"
"Maybe it's just a coincidence, no one took the lead."
"This Chen family..."
Thinking about the situation of the Chen family, using this method to exchange for a glimmer of hope in the power structure... Han Qi would not be allowed to do this if it were him.
Money is nothing, let alone a hundred years of accumulation, there is nothing. As long as you can still be in the category of aristocratic families in the Song Dynasty, I really don't dare to make any assumptions about future earnings expectations.
Let’s just say that in the industries where the official family is constantly innovating, there is almost no opportunity for the aristocratic family to get involved, and the income generated by these new industries requires decades of accumulation in any company, and only a few years in the official family. Gains and losses,
Very good at making judgments.
"Chen Qi is going further and further on the road of seeking death. In this way, it may really lead to the promulgation of the land occupation tax increase law, but it will inevitably lead to the Chen family being abandoned by the entire court. If he seeks death, he will not forget to
If everyone in the court is dragged in, will the Chen family survive in the future? It is really unwise! I am ashamed of the prudent and wise life of Qin Guogong."
Han Qi was helpless. With this statement, the group discussions that were originally hesitant and ambiguous were likely to have very few participants in the political discussions.
"How can the Chen family retain its status in the country if they don't do this? Zhigui, the official family has never abandoned people who have contributed to the country, and the official family has never treated people who have contributed to the country badly.
"
Fu Bi actually no longer thinks about the Chen family's affairs. He needs to consider how to coordinate the court and the courtiers on the issue of land acquisition and tax increase, and how to find a balance between the court and the courtiers.
Officials should not originally be prepared to support Wang Jiefu's land tax increase law. Officials seek stability in governance and pay attention to things that come naturally. But with this statement from the Chen family, it is very likely that the officials will take the opportunity to finalize the matter.
To be honest, since the implementation of the One Whip Law and the addition of the track running through the prefectures, counties and counties of Guochao, the residence tax and over-tax originally collected by Guochao have ceased to exist in name only, and the growth of commercial taxes relies more on innovation.
In fact, business taxes are decreasing.
The residence tax of the country is 20 yuan per thousand yuan, and the over-tax is additional. The total tax will vary according to the distance and the number of state capitals passed through. In most cases, it will not be less than the total tax of 50 yuan per thousand yuan.
However, rail transportation, in addition to taxes, has greatly increased the profits of merchants. Although it promoted trade between the country and the dynasty to a certain extent, the court was indeed considered a light corvee and a low tax.
What about group discussions?
It's very strange that even when it came to the late emperor, there was no situation where the courtiers were relatively speechless, but it happened today. Whether it was group discussions in various government offices or local government offices, the situation was uniformly silent.
The real embarrassment is those who presided over the group discussions. Yesterday, they gave vague hints, allowing everyone to reach a conclusion that was temporarily shelved today, but today they were disrupted by Chen Qi.
After staying up all morning, the meeting finally ended. Everyone wanted to go find someone to get more information. What should I do about this?
There are far fewer taboos in the market, and discussions are relatively straightforward.
"The Chen family is cheating people!"
"You are a barter, and you don't do business. Even if the Chen family cheats you, they can't cheat you."
"You can't say that. Increasing taxes on land occupation means that costs will rise. The prices for merchants like us will rise, and profits will naturally decrease. How can you say that you can't cheat me?"
"Forget it. The imperial court has been on track in the past few years, and the taxes you and other merchants have almost disappeared. How can you make a solid profit from this money?"
"Whether we are practical or not, we have not violated the criminal law..."
"I'm afraid this is just a pretext, and the court may want to change the tax system."
"It's not that easy. According to the agenda, the Great Court Meeting will close in two days. The court cannot promulgate a bill that has not been passed at the Great Court Meeting."
"The Great Council has concluded. What about the Council? According to the three-level decision-making system of the State, bills can be passed by the Council and the Cabinet."
The discussion in the market was very lively, but no one noticed that Chen Qi was among them. No one in Bianliang knew who Chen Qi was. From these discussions, Chen Qi could feel the shock caused by his statement.
He was very satisfied. He was very satisfied after being interviewed by his uncle late at night before the declaration was released.
As for whether he has tricked someone and who he has tricked, so what? He only needs to get on the line with his uncle's family, and he really doesn't need to care about those aristocratic families who are on the so-called united front.
