Chapter 332 Heavy Tax(1/4)
In the restaurant not far away, in the single room beside the window, there are also people watching the chaos on the street.
Here is a man and a woman. The man is already middle-aged and has a vicissitudes of life. The woman looks beautiful and is just in her youth.
"Interesting." The woman opened her cherry lips lightly, her red lips were as bright as blood, and she lowered her head and looked at the long street with a smile on her lips:
"As soon as I arrived in Anle County, I actually saw such a farce."
The woman should be young, but her eyes are deep, as if she is used to seeing the world, and she even regards the scene in front of her as a farce.
"It seems that some people are dissatisfied with that prince." The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said:
"In the past year, there have been no masters here, and let the royal palace do so. Zhu Dingwu has done so many things, and has gained fame and great prestige, which will naturally arouse the vigilance of the new dynasty."
As he said that, he bowed and asked for instructions:
"Miss, we..."
"No need to pay attention." The woman raised her bare hands lightly, her voice was lazy:
"Although his father-in-law has something to do with us, he is an outsider after all, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it."
"Besides, someone suppresses his arrogance, which will be beneficial to what you will do in the future."
"Yes." The man should have said:
"But the prince enjoys a high reputation here and does more practical things, so it is difficult to find the mistake."
"I think people from the new dynasty saw the gold and silver in the royal palace like flowing water, and they were jealous and wanted to get a share of the pie."
Raising soldiers, building academies, and covering the entire Anle County is a very expensive thing, not a small number.
There is far more to make money at sunrise than to fight.
This huge wealth, let alone the people of the new dynasty, would be moved by their underworld.
If you can get a share of the pie...
"Do less mistakes, do more mistakes, do more mistakes, do more mistakes, and do more things, how can there be no flaws if you do too much?" The woman shook her head gently:
"Zhu Dingwu naturally does not have the technique of making gold into stone, but he will definitely not be able to buy gold and silver."
"Where did he get it?"
"I don't know the humble position." The man lowered his head:
"However, supporting such a large amount of consumption is obviously far from enough based on the accumulation of the royal palace. Perhaps the people of the court know something."
"Yes." The woman nodded:
"Let's see, let's talk about it."
"yes."
On the long street, the person who sued the officials was still crying.
This man is over fifty years old and has a head full of white hair. Now he is kneeling on the ground and crying, and it is a bit desolate.
But except for those who were walking with him, everyone on the street was glaring.
How dare this man sue the prince?
Over the past year, the prince has built academies, popularized martial arts, sheltered refugees, expanded commerce, and suppressed gangs...
Doing so many good things will save nearly one million people from Anle County from war and people without worries.
This is a real favor!
In the eyes of everyone, this person is an ungrateful person who deliberately framed the prince.
"Sir, the Imperial Commander!" The old man raised his head and cried:
"The villain was originally a county cloth shop on Saturday, and also operated a pawn shop, which was considered a little financial investment."
"The life is perfect, but it is also smooth and fulfilling."
"I have also donated to the academy, dug well water, and do some good deeds, and never did anything illegal or illegal."
He sobbed for a while and said:
"But since half a year ago, the king's orders have been conveyed to plunder gold and silver, but it has directly destroyed the roots of our Zhou family!"
"Oh?" Upstairs, the imperial envoy's voice sank:
"What you said is true?"
"As far as I know, the prince loves the people as his sons, and has always been famous for his virtuous people. How could he deliberately target you, a small cloth merchant?"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance that the following is guilty of slandering the prince, which is a serious crime!"
"The villain dares not!" Zhou Liu kowtowed and said sadly:
"I don't know that the prince loves Xu Ming. Although he has done many good deeds, he uses the money we have earned with hard work!"
"In the past dynasties, most of the taxes on rural, commercial, industrial and trade, land and water checkpoints were thirty taxes, and the higher one was only 15 taxes."
"And the prince..."
He cried loudly and said:
"The taxes the prince set for villains and others are one of them, and the maximum is seven or three!"
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
"Fake it?"
As soon as these words fell, everyone's faces changed, and everyone on the street was also in an uproar.
A man and a woman in the underworld force in the restaurant frowned, and the man even sneered:
"No wonder I can afford so many people. Such heavy taxes are unprecedented. It's really an official who forces the people to rebel!"
"Ha..." The woman also shook her head gently, showing disdain:
"A person who is so harsh and has such a reputation is really amazing in the world. This time I have gained some knowledge!"
"Is this true?" In another restaurant, Senior Liao also frowned and looked at the waiter next to him:
"One of ten taxes can force the family to be destroyed, and it is unprecedented to take two, which is too much..."
Before he could finish his words, he shook his head.
As the Bu Shang said on Saturday, most of the taxes in all dynasties were thirty and one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one for one
Even if there is a tax in addition to taxes, it is absolutely impossible to be as large as half or even 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 30
If it is true, then the taxes imposed by this prince are really unprecedented and unparalleled.
"This..." The waiter hesitated:
"The villain's monthly salary is more than one or two silver dollars, and he has never paid taxes. The shopkeeper said that the prince set a little higher tax. He has a little complaint."
"But, it's certainly not that exaggerated!"
As he said that, his voice broke out and said:
"That's right, even if there is a tax, it's not that high. This person is deliberately framed the prince!"
"That may not be." Qi Qianxiao shook his head with a cold face:
"The royal family raises soldiers and builds academies, which cost a lot. With these two bottomless pits, he must have a place for his money, right?"
"And since the man below dares to report to the official in front of everyone, he is likely not to lie or deceive."
"You will know this kind of thing once you check it!"
This time, no one refuted it, and even the white-clothed scholar nodded slightly when he heard this, showing a serious face.
If this is true, then this prince who loves the people as much as his son is just a generous gift to others and is not considered a person.
"No, no." The waiter was panicked and suddenly thought of an explanation, saying:
"Even if there is such a high tax, it must be because this man did something illegal and disorderly to get punished by the prince!"
"..." Senior Liao shook his head gently.
He could see that the prince was deeply in love with the people of Anle County, and even spontaneously found excuses for him.
but……
This is probably true!
"Really?" The imperial envoy seemed a little surprised at the restaurant:
"Take one of them, divide it into three to seven, isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Everything that villain said is true!" The cloth merchant boss knelt on the ground and cried, even raised his hand and sweared:
"If I have half a false statement today on Saturday, I wish I would be struck by lightning and never be reborn!"
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
