After practicing, Luo Zhang returned to the bedroom. Mei Niang had already gone to bed and washed herself. She served her while she was changing clothes and eating, and then headed towards the imperial city with Wu Shaobin.

When Luo Zhang came to the imperial city, something strange happened. Everyone who saw him avoided him like a poisonous scorpion and hid far away. It was even said that some generals looked at him with unkind eyes.

Luo Zhang scanned around and knew that this matter was related to the payment of taxes. After all, this matter was fundamentally caused by him and the Dugu family. The Dugu family received the punishment they deserved, their fiefdoms were confiscated, and the other families were regarded as

The disaster was all over the pond and the taxes were paid, but Luo Zhang was the only one who benefited and was promoted to a higher position. Who do these people hate if they don't hate him!

Luo Zhang is not surprised by this. Paying taxes is a citizen's obligation. Who told you not to pay taxes? These people are accustomed to making mistakes and they need to be cured!

Luo Zhang was also influenced by later generations in this matter. After all, paying taxes is a normal thing in later generations. If you earn a lot, you should pay taxes. Otherwise, where will the country get the money to help the poor?

money to build the country.

In fact, the same principle applies to the Tang Dynasty. Taxes are not used by His Majesty. In the end, they are not used on the people to make the country strong!

Ignoring these villains, Luo Zhang went straight to Qin Qiong. Beside Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing and others were talking about things. Seeing Luo Zhang coming, Cheng Yaojin said to Qin Qiong: "You

This nephew has caused us trouble, I don’t care, you have to make him pay me some jars of good wine, otherwise my heart will hurt!"

"That's right, we have to pay for the fact that none of us have a lot of good wine, otherwise we can't let Luo Zhang go!" Yuchi Jingde agreed.

Li Jing did not speak, but kept nodding his head, obviously agreeing with what the two of them said.

After hearing the words of these people, Qin Qiong also smiled bitterly, waving to Luo Zhang and said: "Luo Zhang, we know that the responsibility for this tax issue does not lie with you, it was all caused by the Dugu family. You are just fighting back. It's just right.

They are just being used by His Majesty. Your uncles are all reasonable people, so I won’t care about this matter with you. However, you should also get them some good wine to make them feel better. What do you think?

?”

Luo Zhang smiled and said hello to several people, then turned to Qin Qiong and said: "What my uncle said is absolutely true, and it should be like this. When the next court comes, I will have wine delivered to your house. Do you think

how?"

"Hahahaha, let me just say that Luo Zhang is not a stingy person. If you still don't believe me, you have to drag me to Qin Qiong to tell him. According to me, just say no to Luo Zhang. Don't you mind if I'm such a crooked person?

I'm so tired!" Yuchi Jingde teased Cheng Yaojin.

"You are still talking about me. When I told you, you didn't agree straight away. Why did you tell me to go directly to Luo Zhang? Now you are pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with me!" Cheng Yaojin counterattacked unconvinced.

.

"Okay, you two, this is all my fault. I am here to apologize to my uncles!" Luo Zhang bowed respectfully to several people.

With this kind of bearing, he immediately won the favor of several people. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous. Even if he was appreciated by His Majesty, he could bend down and apologize to others. This kind of heart alone is not something that ordinary people can compare with. I am afraid that even some old foxes cannot catch up with Luo

Zhang did it authentically.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and didn't mention it again. It was as if the matter was over.

Many people were paying attention to what was going on here, and even listened attentively. After hearing Luo Zhang's words, they all secretly praised Luo Zhang for his magnanimity. At the same time, they also thought that the whole story had nothing to do with Luo Zhang. If it weren't for Dugu

The family made trouble for Luo Zhang at the court meeting, so how could something like this happen? In the end, they were harmed by Chi Yu, so the culprit of this matter was still the Dugu family.

Seemingly inspired by Cheng Yaojin's incident, Luo Zhang turned around and hugged his fists: "My colleagues, Luo Zhang is here to apologize to you. If you have suffered losses because of me, I will end the meeting."

I will ask someone to send you a few jars of fine wine. Although it is not worth much, it is a tribute from me, Luo Zhang. I hope all my colleagues will not dislike it. Luo Zhang would like to thank you here!"

"Hahahaha, Luo Zhangrenyi, I won't say anything about this."

"Well, Luo Zhang, forget this matter. It has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame it, it's the Dugu family's greed!"

"Yes, it's all because the Dugu family is too greedy. Otherwise, how could these things happen? It's not like Luo Zhang knew about this a long time ago and deliberately harmed us. This is just a coincidence and things happened in a hurry!"

"You have to drink Luo Zhang's fine wine. You can't buy it outside. If you lose a little money and get some wine, you won't lose anything!"

"Hahaha, yes, Luo Zhang's wine is worth a thousand dollars, and it's worth it!"

A storm was resolved invisibly by Luo Zhang. This made the Wei family and Dugu family who had gathered around the periphery to attack Luo Zhang and cause trouble for Luo Zhang all opened their eyes and felt incredible.

.

Where is your moral integrity? Where is your anger?

Who scolded Luo Zhang so much before Luo Zhang came?

Who said we must find trouble with Luo Zhang?

What's going on now? I've dismissed you with a few jars of wine?

You are too ungrateful, too persistent, and too opinionated, right?

Now he actually turns around and says that I am not from the Dugu family. What the hell!

The Dugu family was naturally furious to death, but there was nothing he could do, he couldn't just jump out and say anything.

If he dared to jump out at this time, he might become a target for everyone. Although he wouldn't be beaten, sarcastic words would be inevitable.

Fortunately, the imperial city gate also opened at this time, and everyone lost interest in chatting and filed into the palace.

In the main hall, Li Shimin's face had been gloomy since he entered, not for anything else, but because before the court meeting, he specially summoned Dai Zhou, the Minister of Household Affairs, to ask him about his tax payment status.

The result is still the same, those families still have not paid all the taxes, even if Dai Zhou personally visits the house to lobby, it will be of no avail!

This is tantamount to not taking his words seriously. This is disobedience and disrespect! Do you really think that I dare not take your fiefdom?

Li Shimin glanced at those families, and finally fixed his eyes on Changsun Wuji. He didn't believe that no one took the lead in this matter, and the person who took the lead was none other than Changsun Wuji. The Changsun family had to pay taxes in total.

Two million eight hundred thousand taels, and the amount of taxes owed is as much as two million taels. Regardless of whether the eldest grandson's family is the first to pay taxes, his eldest grandson's family is also the first to owe taxes. If he doesn't take the lead, who will take the lead!

After Luo Zhang entered the hall, he pretended to be an ostrich and sat in the last row without saying a word. Even if he could see Li Shimin's displeasure, Luo Zhang didn't care.

You cheated your labor and now you’re in trouble? You know this isn’t fun anymore!

Tell me, if you tell me properly, I will help you solve your problem!

You have to dig a hole for labor and management to jump into and let labor and management take the blame for you. What now? You are dumbfounded!

If you let several families go without collecting their money, who will pay it in the future? I'm afraid your tax payment will be shelved. Not only this, I'm afraid that the Dugu family will also make a fuss about returning to their fiefdom. When the time comes, everyone will join us.

Noisy, let’s see what you do!

Luo Zhang looked at the scene in front of him and burst into laughter!

Luo Zhang did have a way to solve the trouble Li Shimin was facing, but he just didn't tell anyone. Li Shimin had used him as a gunman before and tricked him, making him the target of public criticism.

I'm sorry, but with the wine scheme, these big families are not easy to fool!

"Your Majesty, I have a script to start with!"

After some people finished talking about their duties, Dai Zhou came out, bowed and started to play.

Seeing Dai Zhou leaving work, everyone looked at him one after another. Their taxes were all handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Dai Zhou asked, fearing that something was going to happen.

Some people already knew what it was about, but there were still many people who didn't know, so they all listened quietly to what Dai Zhou had to say!

"What do you want to start?"

Although he knew in his heart what Dai Zhou was going to say, he still had to perform the role well, and Li Shimin was also a man with the qualities of an actor.

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty issued the edict to collect fief taxes, all families have been very active and paid a total of more than 28 million taels in taxes, but..." Dai Zhou stopped as he said this.

Everyone raised their eyebrows, more than 28 million taels, this is a lot, but what else is there to wear? This is already very good!

"Just what?" Li Shimin asked.
Chapter completed!
