Chapter 87
It’s a business tax, not an IQ tax. Just kidding, but in ancient times, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, businessmen’s status was low, but the taxes were also low. After a preliminary estimate, it probably didn’t even reach the tax ratio of one in ten taxes.
.
Unlike the taxes imposed on the common people, it is really a light corvee tax and a heavy tax.
Again, if he were the emperor, he would not be able to abolish the agricultural tax at the beginning, and then he would have to introduce a thirty tax per one, or a fifty tax per one. After all, now it is not Lu Fanxing who is the emperor, but Aisin Gioro.
Yin Reng and Lu Fanxing could only sincerely express their concerns and increase the business tax, which would also improve the social status of the merchants.
"Actually, it's not just the Lianghuai salt merchants who are rich, there are also characters in other areas who are rich enough to be in the country. What they generally care about is social status." Lu Fanxing talked about it. "If you give grace, for example, allow their descendants to
By participating in the imperial examination and getting rid of the humble status of merchants, merchants all over the country will definitely respond crazily to the decree issued by the central court."
Yinreng nodded while listening.
"I understand what my seventh brother means. This job."
"I suggest that Brother Huang pull out Ninth Brother for use." Lu Fanxing interrupted Yin Reng's words and said super sincerely: "Ninth Brother is the stinky brother with the most business talent among all the brothers. Brother Huang believes what I say, then
I decided to be the ninth brother."
"Well, pull it out and run around." Yinreng nodded and said: "Otherwise, I will spend my money to raise a group of people who talk for nothing, and I will feel even worse."
"What the emperor said is true. Then" Lu Fanxing made a gesture of counting money and said, "Shall I tell my ninth brother?"
Yinreng said no objection and watched Lu Fanxing leave.
Yin Reng has a good mind. He did not suppress the brothers who opposed him as much as Yong Zheng did when he ascended the throne. He treated the princes and elder brothers except Lu Fanxing and Yin Qi fairly well.
Not much reuse, not much suppression.
It means pulling it out and sliding around, it really pulls it out and sliding around.
When Lu Fanxing went to find Yinzhen, he was having a drink. He had a new concubine in his 19th room and was playing the flute. As soon as Lu Fanxing entered the courtyard, he frowned.
"Is this the girl Qingyao who is good at music as mentioned by the ninth brother?"
Yinzhen poured a glass of wine for Lu Fanxing and asked Lu Fanxing to sit down quickly and drink with him.
"No, I'm not as leisurely as you." Lu Fanxing explained his future purpose, and then saw that Yinzhen was deep in thought, so he concentrated on waiting.
"How?" After waiting for a while, Lu Fanxing asked. "What's the point of doing business at home? If you have the ability, you have to do it abroad. Things are rare and valuable. It is said that Western countries are very fond of porcelain, tea, and silk from the Qing Dynasty.
.There is also a saying that one gram of tea leaves one gram of gold. Since Ninth Brother likes to do business, he should continue to do business."
"What you mean is still what that person meant."
"Huh? I'm a little surprised that you ask this." Lu Fanxing was silent and then asked with a smile: "Is there any difference between me and the second brother?"
"Do you think there is any difference?" Yinzhen sneered: "An emperor who ascended the throne by forcing the palace, and a crippled prince who lived an extremely comfortable life by pretending to be crazy and acting stupid. Tsk, now you come to me and tell me, it's nothing.
Difference. Seventh Brother, do you look down on me, or do you look down on me?"
"The ninth brother is too thoughtful." Lu Fanxing said: "The eighth brother is too thoughtful. Seeing you playing well since childhood, my younger brother agrees with the idiom that birds of a feather flock together. Those who are thoughtful are as important as their thoughts.
Serious play, nothing wrong with it."
Yinzhen continued to sneer: "Not as good as you."
"No, from the point of view of being blind, Ninth Brother, you are better than many people."
Yinzhen almost exploded with anger.
This person must have come here deliberately to cause trouble for him.
"Okay, okay, I agree. Brother Qi will do it as he pleases and don't cause trouble for me. I deserve to be upset. You know, I'm super upset with you."
"Oh. Thank you for your love." Lu Fanxing gave Yinzhen a careful gesture, successfully making Yinzhen nauseated.
Yinzhen didn't want to see Lu Fanxing again, and just as Lu Fanxing had achieved his goal, he didn't want to continue staring at Yinzhen, so he ran away as fast as possible in the name of going home to eat and sleep.
As for Yinzhen, after Lu Fanxing ran away, he started to laugh.
Instead of continuing to drink, he smashed the glass and went to find Yinhu.
Yinzhen and I were also at Yinzhen's house, which saved Yinzhen from having to make another trip. After meeting the two brothers, Yinzhen told the story of Lu Fanxing coming to see him today, without giving Yinzhen a chance to express his opinion.
, just saying that he decided to give it a try, otherwise his life would be very miserable if he stayed in the capital.
Yinhu didn’t say anything, but Yinhui and I supported all of Yinhuang’s decisions as always. In fact, the best relationship has always been between Yinhuang and Yinzhen. Yinhu was added later. Although he had his own little thoughts,
Overall, I feel very good about Yinzhen and Yinzhen.
However, since Yinzhu married the brainless guy Bafujin, his selfishness has become more and more serious. He instigated them to fight against the prince, with the idea of reaping the benefits. Yinzhen's biological brother, now Prince Heng Ai
Xinjueluo Yinqi is right, he is a standard fool.
Be kind to someone, just be kind to them with all your heart, and don't think about whether others are worth it or not.
In the past, Yinzhen felt that Yinqi was very annoying. He was willing to be Yinreng's licking dog, so why did he have to drag him with him? Now, since Aixinjueluo Yinreng became the emperor, everything has changed. Now he,
I can actually see that Yinzhen is not pure towards him and Yinzhen, and I am still mostly taking advantage of them.
Yinzhen felt that it was so ironic and suddenly wanted to laugh. In fact, Yinzhen had already laughed out loud.
"Will the tenth brother go out with the ninth brother, or stay in the capital with the eighth brother?" Yinzhen ignored the thoughtful Yinhu and asked Yinzhen directly.
I have told Yinhuang several times that I will follow Yinhuang’s lead. Naturally, whatever Yinhuang says, I will follow. Just like at the beginning, when Yinhuang said that following Yinhuang would have a bright future, Yinhuang and I didn’t say anything.
, just go with Yinzhen and follow him around.
In fact, among the elder brothers of Kangxi, Yinsu had the lowest status. If it were not for the factor of Yinzhen, I would not necessarily think highly of Yinxu.
"Follow Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother, don't even think about leaving me behind." Yinxu and I started shouting, which actually woke up Yinxu.
Yinsu: "Ninth brother has really made up his mind?"
"Of course, yes." Yinzhen asked Yinzhen, "What do you plan to do with Bage? Stay in the capital? Or go to sea with your brother and expand your business to Western countries?"
"I need to think about it."
"There are still a few days left, is it okay to think about it slowly?"
Saying some perfunctory words, Yinzhen said goodbye and left, and Yinzhen and I followed him.
The two brothers naturally have a lot of private things to say in private.
Not to mention what was said, anyway, a few days after the conversation, when Yinzhu was hesitating, Yinzhen and I followed him and took the members of the Qing imperial merchants prepared by Lu Fanxing to leave the Qing Dynasty on a sailboat.
Yinzhen didn't catch up. As soon as Yinzhen took Yinzhen and I left, he sighed and seemed extremely frustrated.
It's a pity that no one paid attention to it. Yinreng was so busy every day that he had no time to pay attention to Yinsu's "depression and lack of ambition", let alone Lu Fanxing. Lu Fanxing was just a salty fish who would rather lie down than stand up.
I know how to do things, but doing things really depends on my mood.
Yinzhu was dressed up, and Lu Fanxing was too lazy to meet him. He was just like Yunjuanyunshu. Today he took Fujin for an outing, and tomorrow he took Fujin to watch a play and go to the garden. In short, his life was very lively.
In this way, time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Fanxing reached middle age. At this time, Kangxi passed away according to his original destiny. A few years later, Yinreng, who became emperor decades in advance, also followed his original destiny.
Destiny is over.
Aixinjueluo Hongxi succeeded to the throne as Emperor Qianming.
Lu Fanxing was a long-lived person in this life. He was the emperor's uncle to Hong Xi for many years, and he was the emperor's uncle to Hong Xi's child Aixinjueluo Yongchen for several years. He died suddenly at the age of 88.
.
In his life, Lu Fanxing and his wife Baozhu gave birth to two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter married Princess Gu Lun Kejing outside the Great Wall, continuing the ruling experience of Princess Haiben and dominating the entire Outside the Great Wall. The eldest daughter was also a long-lived person, living to be 76 years old.
, and then passed away peacefully surrounded by his descendants.
As for the younger daughter, she married in the capital. Her husband was one of the few truly talented Manchus. The couple didn’t say how good their relationship was, but Qin Se and Ming. Well, her husband was a short-lived ghost. He only lived to be in his 40s.
The younger daughter was left a widow.
However, the younger daughter also has both sons and daughters, except for the only legitimate son. Well, I don’t know if she inherited the fine tradition of the direct prince Aixinjueluo Yinti, and the legitimate wife gave birth to four golden flowers in a row. Lu Fanxing’s only
The legitimate son, regardless of the legitimate concubines, gave birth to five daughters in total.
Lu Fanxing is not a master who favors boys over girls.
Lu Fanxing didn't think it was a big deal if he only had five grandchildren.
And out of consideration for the future of his granddaughters, when the five granddaughters were very young, Lu Fanxing, who was always struggling, finally made an effort again and used the same energy as when he trained his eldest and youngest daughters to train his five granddaughters.
Both civil and military.
The five granddaughters look gentle and gentle, but in fact they are all masters who whip the whip whenever they disagree. Even Aixinjueluo Yongchen said that the princess of Prince Duoluochun's family is most suitable for running outside the vast wall.
On the grassland.
Lu Fanxing felt that it was reasonable. Girls should learn to protect themselves no matter where they marry. As a result, he never expected that even at the moment of his death, Lu Fanxing still only had one thought in his mind.
Girls who are too good at both civil and military skills are really useless as consorts.
His eldest granddaughter, like their eldest aunt, married outside the Great Wall. How many consorts have been deposed?
The fifth time I found my husband-in-law, he was 7 years younger than my eldest granddaughter.
