Li Chengfeng smiled with satisfaction, then opened the door of the Town Prince's Mansion and said: "Then, please send all the tax payment money to my Town Prince's Mansion! I will return it to my father the next day.

!”

"Okay, Eighth Prince! Come here, bring all the money to the Prince's Mansion!"

So, a group of ministers ordered their subordinates to return all the Tang Dynasty tax revenue they had lost money to Li Chengfeng.

At least the eighth prince is easy to talk to. If Emperor Li Shimin blames him, they won't be able to live with it.

Now that the palace is cracking down on tax evasion, no minister dares to take bribes and bend the law.

A few days ago, Li Chengfeng successfully adjudicated the case and executed the Duke of Yun, Zhang Liang. This incident not only caused an uproar in the entire palace, but also spread among the people.

But in the final analysis, Duke Yun was beheaded, wasn’t it because of the word “money”?

If Duke Yun hadn't been dizzy and hadn't stolen the 100,000 gold for disaster relief, maybe he wouldn't have lost his head.

"Come on, come on, put them all in my backyard!"

Li Chengfeng put his hands on his waist and watched groups of people, bringing their servants, coming to pay taxes.

Wei Zheng was on the side, recording their tax payment records with a pen.

After these ministers put all the money into the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion, they said goodbye to Li Chengfeng.

Throughout the whole day, some ministers would come to the Prince's Mansion intermittently, first admit their mistakes, and then make up for all the tax evasion.

Li Chengfeng is also very easy to talk to, just pay him.

Without you, you can't escape my eyes.

There was originally a minister who evaded 5,000 gold in taxes, but he only paid 500 gold? This was discovered by Li Chengfeng, who immediately asked Wei Zheng to send someone to reward the minister with 100 big boards.

After this, everyone knew that their tax evasion would never escape Li Chengfeng's eyes.

…

Time flies by quickly, and it gets late in the blink of an eye.

Li Chengfeng and Wei Zheng were looking at a pile of gold boxes in the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion.

Li Chengfeng couldn't help but sneered. Such a large amount of money, if converted into personal currency, would be at least hundreds of millions of yuan.

Wei Zheng's eyes widened when he saw it, and he said: "Eighth Prince, you are really good at doing things. In less than two days, you actually asked the ministers to personally pay back all the money that was evaded in taxes!"

"Humph, they have a guilty conscience! And I have their clues. If they don't take the initiative to send them over and wait for me to find them one by one, I won't say anything good to them!"

"They are smart, they took the initiative to deliver it to your door! This saves me from looking for them one by one, taking up my time, being hot and tired!"

Li Chengfeng grabbed a handful of gold and weighed it in his hands.

Wei Zheng laughed loudly and said: "Haha, of course! Now, who doesn't know that the Eighth Prince of the Tang Dynasty is a child prodigy in the sky, extremely smart, and the number one genius in the world!"

"Okay, okay, stop flattering, everything that needs to be counted has been counted! Zheng Guogong, tonight you go and show this account book to my father, and ask him to bring the guards tomorrow and come to the palace of my town to withdraw the money.

Got it!"

"Okay, Eighth Prince, I know what to do!"

Just when Wei Zheng was about to leave, he suddenly stopped again, frowned tightly, and looked at Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"This... veteran, I do have something else I want to report!" Wei Zheng replied.

"Say!" Li Chengfeng said.

Wei Zheng said: "The Eighth Prince is like this. In this small accounting book, basically all the ministers who owe taxes have been returned, but there is still one minister who has not come!"

"There's another one? Who is it?"

Li Chengfeng frowned. How dare a minister not come to pay taxes? Do you still have to go to his house in person?

Wei Zheng touched his beard and said: "Reporting to the Eighth Prince, this minister is none other than Changsun Wuji, the leader of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion! His family has a pasture and three iron mines.

With two copper mines and one gold mine, he can be said to be the richest minister in our Tang Dynasty, besides the emperor!"

"What? So you are from the eldest grandson's family? Well... okay, I understand!"

"Hey, Okay, Eighth Prince, I'll take my leave first and hand this bill to the Emperor!"

"Okay, go ahead! As for the matter with Changsun Wuji, you tell my father and I will resolve it myself!"

"Yes, but the Eighth Prince, the Changsun family is very powerful in the palace and is not easy to mess with. You'd better not offend them!"

Wei Zheng said worriedly.

Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "Huh, am I, the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty, afraid of his eldest grandson Wuji? It's their fault that he owes taxes. Anyway, I will personally visit the eldest grandson's house tomorrow!"

"Oh well!"

…

After Wei Zheng resigned, he left the Zhenwang Mansion.

Until night falls, Li Shimin comes again?

Accompanied by Wang Dequan, the chief eunuch, Li Shimin came to the Zhenwang Mansion.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Wang Dequan shouted loudly, and Li Chengfeng hurriedly walked out from the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion to greet Li Shimin.

"My son, please see your father!"

"Hahaha, no gifts, no gifts, Feng'er, you are really my right-hand man!"

Li Shimin laughed heartily, with a doting look on his face.

Li Shimin said: "Feng'er, I didn't expect that it only took you two days to solve the tax arrears problem of the ministers. I am very pleased!"

"Of course! Paying back debts is a matter of course! Moreover, owing taxes and evading taxes is a violation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty. As long as I find their loopholes, who of them would dare not to pay back the money?"

"Yes, that's true. Thank you for your hard work, Feng'er!"

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Chengfeng's approach.

Just now, Wei Zheng had told Li Shimin everything about tax collection.

And he also showed Li Shimin the small accounting book.

After Li Shimin read it, he was shocked.

You don’t know this by looking at it, but at first glance, it looks like you have money to pick it up!

The tax debt owed by these court ministers in the past ten years is as high as 300,000 gold?

Is this money enough to dig a grand canal to divert water from the south to the north?

Even though Li Shimin had long known that their tax evasion was serious, he never expected that Li Chengfeng would be able to recover 300,000 gold.

So at this moment, Li Shimin felt very satisfied.

Li Chengfeng looked at Li Shimin and said, "Father, isn't the money in the national treasury not enough?"
