Chapter 1637 Like-minded
It’s just a matter of handing it over, but it also needs to be turned over in ten years of Yuanwu... It’s all given to the imperial court. Where do the military supplies and wages come from?
Isn't this a useless effort?
Dong Zheng was the first one who couldn't accept it.
"It's okay, but I can't pay it all."
"Forget it, just follow what King Zhennan said."
Wen Xu said: "After the court meeting, I will check with Mr. Lu to see how much to pay, at least to keep our military supplies."
"That's it."
Fang Chi stood up again and said: "The unrest in the city needs to be quelled as soon as possible. Now that a resolution has been made, I have a reason. Anyway, I have been beaten once, and the worst I can do is to be beaten again."
"Thank you, King Huainan."
Fang Chi has some prestige among the people in the city. After all, he has been in the Jianghuai area for too long.
Wen Xu said: "Just say that in order to protect the people of Lin'an, we are willing to pay the autumn tax."
"clear."
You want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain a good reputation, but you don't want to see if anyone will buy into your account.
Fang Chi thought about going out again.
The last time it was a joke, this time it was a serious matter.
It didn't matter to Nan Chao that the commotion was serious, he was worried that the people would be harmed.
In the end, the army was forced to suppress it, which was no longer necessary. Anyway, the goal was achieved now.
Fang Chi and Lu Zhengyuan had the same idea, they could make any noise as long as it did not affect the stability of the people.
He wants to reassure His Majesty that although there are rebels in the Jianghuai area, they will not have much impact...
As for whether it will be good or bad in the future, he doesn't think about it...
Fang Jie really tried his best.
He opened the palace door and faced the people directly, tried his best to comfort them, and finally calmed down temporarily.
We are all ready to pay our autumn taxes, so why would we use you to blackmail us?
Peace of mind, no one will touch you.
Except for Liu Dong... this former leader of the Jin Yiwei needs to be given a warning. If he does evil again and kills innocent people indiscriminately, he will be eliminated!
Fang Jie wanted to wait for His Majesty's punishment.
Your Majesty has been out fighting for five years, and sometimes Xiaoxiao forgets His Majesty's majesty. This is an opportunity for His Majesty to establish his prestige...
Fang Chi is very satisfied with the current process. He has to pay the autumn tax, as long as the court has no losses.
If you still want to pay less, I'm afraid it's not up to you.
The court meeting finally agreed on something, but it made everyone sigh.
The Southern Dynasty has to pay autumn taxes.
This is an extremely helpless choice in the face of internal and external troubles, but many people don't know that the real reason is that there are people behind the scenes who are behind the scenes.
When the news came out, many officials in the Southern Dynasties lamented.
regret!
These are the two words that come to everyone's mind.
The reason for the rebellion was not to pay taxes, but now nothing has been left behind... What's the point of this?
Not only regret, but also lingering confusion.
At the same time, it also attracted the ridicule of countless people.
For the Southern Dynasty, nothing was accomplished, at least the unrest in the city subsided for the time being.
King Fangjie of Huainan was away running around to calm down, King Dongzheng of Zhennan stayed behind closed doors and found it difficult to accept, and King Wen Xuzheng of Linxian reconciled with Lu Zhengyuan.
How much wealth does the Southern Dynasty have and how much does it have to hand over? This cannot be messed up.
There is another reason. He wants to take the opportunity to check the accounts. He used to turn a blind eye, but now he can't.
He believed in the wrong Fang Jie and misjudged Dong Zheng.
Wen Xu knew in his heart that there was only one real reason why the Southern Dynasty had come so far, and that was that there was no one in charge.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, not to mention that there were three kings in the Southern Dynasties. Those who did not make up their minds were all chattering and competing for fame and fortune, because various interest groups gathered together to form various cliques.
Going south like this will eventually lead to a dead end!
Wen Xu wanted to change this situation. He wanted to get rid of those two kings, or at least weaken their right to speak.
But no matter who he is, he can't do without Lu Zhengyuan.
The Southern Dynasty needed Lu Zhengyuan. It was he who established the imperial code, the cabinet of the Southern Dynasty, and the system of conduct in the Southern Dynasty.
Wen Xu started to win over Lu Zhengyuan.
The important task of paying the autumn tax was naturally handed over to Lu Zhengyuan. In his household room, there were large boxes piled on the ground. Inside were Jiangzhou's tax rolls for the past six years, and this was only a part.
These are the most original tax books, and many of them cannot be seen by outsiders.
The main thing is authenticity.
Lu Zhengyuan's previous statement that he wanted to investigate the family fortune was not empty talk. He was the Minister of Household Affairs in the Southern Dynasties, and the original chief officials of the Household Affairs Bureau in Jiangzhou were all his subordinates. How could these things be kept secret from him?
Wen Xu also came.
After all, he was once the governor of Jiangzhou, and he knew the truth best.
The two of them were sorting it out together, and many officials were busy.
Wen Xu deliberately sent others away, and he and Lu Zhengyuan were the only ones in the class room.
Lu Zhengyuan remained calm. He knew that Wen Xu had something to say, most likely to win over him.
"Master Lu, you and King Zhennan seem to be very close?"
"no way."
Lu Zhengyuan said calmly: "Many of the things I do are things that offend people, and they are not easy. I need the support of King Zhennan, or in other words, the support of the army."
He didn't raise his head and continued to look at the tax roll.
"Actually, I am not satisfied with King Zhennan. The only people in the Southern Dynasty who are truly like-minded are me and you."
Lu Zhengyuan raised his head.
"It would be great if you could take charge of the army and control the power of the Southern Dynasties..."
