Facts have proved that it is amazing to have an uncle, but he didn’t have an uncle who gave him 100,000 yuan and could still come and give him money.
The eldest prince thought a little sadly.
If he had an uncle, would the country still need him to plan like this? Forget it, if he didn't, he wouldn't have it. If he didn't, he would have to rely on himself.
"Fourth Prince, we don't need more than 100,000 yuan. Although the tax in Ascheng is very high, 50,000 yuan a year is enough." The eunuch said with a smile.
The fourth prince is indeed a rich man, so he will reduce it as soon as he says it, and he will immediately throw out a hundred thousand taels of real gold and silver.
The generosity is overwhelming.
"Then we will reduce taxes for the entire city for two years." Helianjue said without changing his expression.
I originally thought that 100,000 might be less, but I didn't expect that it would be reduced by two years.
Helianjue didn't think the money was wasted. Money can capture people's hearts, so there's nothing to feel bad about.
Since he was going to show it to the people in the city, he naturally had to do it clearly and generously, since he was not short of money anyway.
"It cannot be reduced for two years, but the tax can be reduced for half a year at most."
Yun Wu opened her mouth to persuade. Of these two brothers, one is stingy and the other is frighteningly generous.
She could imagine that after the fourth prince took over the throne, if the Ministry of Industry needed money to repair something, he would definitely approve it with a wave of his hand, and the Ministry of War would need Jun Chang's approval.
The Ministry of Accounts needed funds and they were given to them without any hesitation.
The people were having a hard time and asked to reduce taxes, but they didn't even think about agreeing.
In the end, the country will no longer be able to collect taxes, but the people are living a good life, and there is not even half a copper coin in the national treasury.
Then he went to his grandfather's house to get money to subsidize the national treasury, but he couldn't even replenish it. It was a bottomless pit, and he defrauded his grandfather's family. Of course he regretted letting him take over the throne.
I had no idea how hard it was to earn money, so I just waved my hand and gave it away, which was so heart-wrenching.
Let him guard the country and he will squander the country.
He Lianfeng said hey: "What are you anxious about? The fourth child is rich and doesn't care about this. Just ask him to do more for the people."
"This is not a matter of whether you have money or not. It's a good thing that the fourth prince wants to use money to benefit the people, but if you exempt him from it for two years, it will change the mentality of the people.
Once people get it easily, they take it for granted.
When it comes time to pay taxes in two years, they won't want to pay. It will only cause more trouble for the prefect and other officials.
Just give the people some tax relief and let them know that the court and the royal family feel guilty and compensate them.
And if you use your own money to compensate, what will the officials and people in other cities think if they find out?"
Helianjue was a little shocked in his heart. Why should he be so careful if he has money?
He is usually generous. Even if he really doesn't want to spend money on this person, sometimes he won't say no because of feelings.
He never does anything to get embarrassed over money, and he doesn't like to get into trouble with others.
But I don’t know why he is usually very generous to his friends, but few of them are willing to play with him.
He only calls me when he wants to spend money, and he doesn't take the initiative to call him on weekdays.
It turns out that people will be grateful to you just because you spend a lot of money. Some people will take it for granted.
Other people who don't benefit from you will also be jealous and won't play with you.
He Lianjue said: "Then according to Princess Yunwu's words, half of this year's taxes will be reduced or exempted for them."
The prefect thanked him happily: "Thank you, Fourth Prince. The people of Asi City will definitely remember your great kindness."
"This is the mistake made by the emperor's uncle. I am just representing the royal family to compensate the people. There is no need to be so generous."
Helianjue felt that the money was well spent, so he only spent twenty-five thousand to make the prefect feel grateful to him, and the people would remember his great kindness.
He Lianfeng came close to Ye Xiang and said, "You see how hypocritical the Fourth Brother is. He obviously wants to spend money to buy prestige in the hearts of the people, but he talks about it as if he is selfless."
Ye Xiang glanced at him coldly: "At least he is obedient."
"Tch, it's not enough for Yun Wu to have you as a loyal dog, you also want everyone to listen to her.
Besides, it’s not that I don’t want to hear it, the question is, do I have an uncle as good as the fourth child? Every penny I have is earned through my own hard work.”
Of course, Ye Xiang knew that what He Lianfeng said was true. When he was not sick, his father was very kind to him for his mother's sake, and rewarded him with lots of things when he was happy.
But once he gets sick, he may be displeased with him, beat and scold him, and even take back the things given to him.
He Lianfeng has developed the habit of taking good care of her own things since she was a child, and it is difficult to take them out when they are in her pockets.
This is okay. People who have no one to protect them should always think of more ways to protect themselves.
Yun Wu smiled: "Okay, don't talk about the fourth prince. Although he talks duplicity, he really does what he should do. Even if he donates money to buy prestige, it is a real donation, and the people will get it.
Welfare.
As for what his original intention is, what does it matter? Don’t look at the process, but look at the results.”
"The fourth brother listens to you, of course you help him, but you can't get the money he saves, so why not let him benefit the people more."
"You know nothing." Yun Wu was too lazy to talk to him. She had just made it clear, and even the prefect was grateful.
This thing is still chattering there.
"The fourth child is willing to take out one hundred thousand taels. Now you have saved him 75,000 taels. How about we go tell him and let him put all the savings into sailing..."
Ye Shang pulled Yun Wu to stand up: "If you want to do it yourself, don't pull my Wu Wu to fool others, I'm not short of money."
Wu Wu wanted him to come up with the gold and silver that killed Helianjue, so there was no need to stare at his tens of thousands taels.
He Lianfeng was a little upset. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't. Ye Xiang was indeed not short of money!
His father gave him the best soldiers he had, so that he could rise from the most oppressed prince to the regent who controlled the life and death of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Although his father and mother died young, they loved him no less. Although the throne was not given to him because of his status, he gave him something to save his life.
He Lianfeng thought about himself, forget it, comparing people to each other will make people irritated, what is the comparison?
He makes money on his own!
The prefect brought back all the horse bandits from Xichen Village and kept them in jail for a day. The case will be officially opened to the public tomorrow.
For such a big event, the prefect found people to publicize and build momentum everywhere, and even beat gongs and drums to announce that the horse bandits had been solved.
The next day, people who came to see the public trial surrounded the Yamen.
Most of the people were reasonable, and when they heard what happened to these remnants of soldiers, most of them sympathized with them.
When a disabled person returns home from the battlefield, he has no way to earn money normally, even if he works as a servant and sells himself into slavery, the master will not want it.
Compassion allowance has been corrupted again, and in order to survive, we have no choice but to commit suicide.
The prefect dealt with it as he saw fit, and few people objected.
Each of these disabled soldiers received 20 yuan. The compassionate compensation was originally the compensation they should have, and they can receive it every month in the future.
The eldest prince and the fourth prince came forward to apologize and compensate all the people who had suffered from soaring prices because of their robbery.
