Chapter 2243 Counterattack, Yangmou versus Yangmou!
Wang Yue looked at Pei Wenxuan and asked curiously, "Did you encounter any trouble in your business?"
Pei Wenxuan shook her head quickly. Now that he was rich, he certainly didn't want Wang Yue to worry about him anymore.
He thought about his words for a while and then said, "Master, the Su family's Su Ronghua likes the third senior sister, and I often go to the Su family's house.
I was originally just curious about why Su Ronghua, the eldest brother, stopped being the head of the family, so I asked briefly, but Su Ronghua said that his younger brother Su Rongqing's personality had changed drastically since two years ago, and he was very enterprising. It just so happened that Su Ronghua actually advocated freedom more, so
Therefore, the position of the head of the family was given to Su Rongqing.
Teacher, I think there may be something wrong with a person who has such a sudden change in personality. I even think that Su Rongqing's evil idea this time was the one who came up with it, so I came to you to report it."
After Wang Yue heard this, he asked suspiciously, "You don't doubt that he is also reborn, right?"
Pei Wenxuan's face changed drastically after hearing these two words. He was just about to say a few words of defense when he met Wang Yue's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He immediately understood that his master had really noticed something was wrong with him.
He was worried that Wang Yue would ask him about the details of his previous life, so he quickly called him and said, "I don't know if I will be reborn or not. I just had a dream about the future, and then I wanted to live a different life.
I'm worried that Su Rongqing is like me, if it affects Master Niang's cultivation because of him, it will be bad."
Wang Yue understood Pei Wenxuan's good intentions and murmured in his heart, this guy is too interested in Li Rong. Could it be that this guy was a consort in his previous life?
Thinking about the current emperor Li Ming, maybe this is really possible.
But that was all in the past life. Now Pei Wenxuan has become his apprentice. If he criticizes her harshly, it will be his fault.
Therefore, Wang Yue was ready to reward Pei Wenxuan. He specifically reminded him, "The academy is very special. Every road in the academy has its own way. You are now richest in the world. If you find a way, you can spend money and use
Magical!"
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, then said with some uncertainty, "Master, are you kidding? There is a saying that money can make ghosts grind, but that's just talk. Can money really cast spells?"
Wang Yue said with a smile, "There is a kind of spell that consumes money. Go to the library and learn the spell yourself, and then you can use money to hit people."
In fact, the reason why Wang Yue was able to develop this spell was based on what he learned from the Shadowless Golden Cicada.
The Shadowless Golden Cicada can grow bigger by eating gold and silver jewelry, which is actually another kind of magic.
The Shadowless Golden Cicada cannot convert that energy into mana, but Wang Yue, who is good at Beiming Taoism, has a way to convert it.
Therefore, Wang Yue developed this money-consuming spell, which is actually similar to a metal-based spell.
After Pei Wenxuan heard Wang Yue's words, his eyes lit up. He hurriedly prepared to go to the library, but before he had taken a few steps, he reminded Wang Yue, "Master, Su Rongqing is not a simple person. Since he arranged this idea, I'm afraid he must
There will be a follow-up, so don’t be careless.”
Wang Yue simply waved his hand and urged Pei Wenxuan to leave quickly. He was still anxious to draw the lottery. As for the affairs of the aristocratic families and the common people, that had to wait until he completed the random inspection.
He used Wuju to come to the capital, then put an invisibility charm on himself, and soon found Su Rongqing.
After several days of confirmation, Wang Yue saw something different about Su Rongqing, and immediately reported to the system, "System, I found another reborn person, Su Rongqing of the Su family in the capital!"
As soon as Wang Yue submitted it, he heard the system prompt.
"Hey, congratulations to the host, you have found a reborn person and will be rewarded with a lottery draw!"
"Hey, the system won the lottery..."
"Hey, congratulations to the host, you have obtained the skill body control talisman!"
Wang Yue knew what was going on as soon as he heard the name. He was also curious about how to use this thing, so he started to study it.
Through the memory given by the system, Wang Yue understood that the body control talisman meant literally. By controlling the other party's body and consciousness, he made the other party do things according to his requirements.
My head was definitely not clear at this time, so I had no idea what I had done.
Wang Yue was originally thinking about how to prevent the court from collecting taxes on the sweet potatoes grown by the common people. After having this thing, he suddenly had other ideas.
…
Kyoka Castle Imperial Palace,
After waiting for a few days, Emperor Li Ming asked anxiously during another court meeting, "Regarding the taxation of potatoes and sweet potatoes, have you drafted any regulations?"
After hearing the emperor's inquiry, Xie Wenqing, the Minister of Punishment, immediately came out and said seriously, "Your Majesty, I..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt that his mind was confused and he didn't know anything anymore, but his people still stood there.
Li Ming listened to Xie Wenqing's words halfway before he frowned and asked, "Xie Aiqing, what do you want to say?"
Xie Wenqing stood there respectfully at this moment, his eyes were blank, and he said expressionlessly, "I believe that since we need to re-legislate, it must be fair so that the country can live in peace and the people can live in peace.
Since we need to tax the sweet potatoes grown by ordinary people in remote lands, we must also tax the land owned by wealthy families.
I am in charge of the Criminal Department of Daxia, and I know best the requirements of the people below. In the final analysis, it is just the word fairness! As long as everyone is treated equally according to the law, the people will definitely not have any objections."
After everyone in the court heard Xie Wenqing's words, they were shocked. Why was this Xie Wenqing different from what everyone had discussed before? Could it be that he was possessed by an evil spirit?
Or is it that Xie Wenqing has already discussed it with the emperor? What benefits did he get from it?
Is it the position of Crown Princess?
Or have other ideas?
Everyone didn't know what happened for a while, and Mom started whispering among themselves.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Some people looked at Shangguan Xu,
Some people looked at Xie Wenqing,
Everyone doesn't know what to do!
Emperor Li Ming did not expect Xie Wenqing to make this suggestion.
You must know that big aristocratic families have always been a chronic problem for the imperial court. Without the help of aristocratic families, the foundation is unstable. After establishing a firm foundation, aristocratic families are like moths attached to the body!
Li Ming felt that if we could really collect taxes from the aristocratic families, this would reduce the influence of the aristocratic families on the country, which was a very good suggestion.
Master Taiwen, the censor, saw that the emperor wanted to speak. He was afraid that the matter would be settled like this, so he immediately went out and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. The aristocratic families do not collect taxes on their own land. This has been the case in all dynasties since ancient times."
There are rules that have existed throughout the ages and cannot be abolished just like that."
Xie Wenqing didn't need the emperor to say anything at all, he just said indifferently,
"Mr. Wen, the land where people grow potatoes and sweet potatoes is also wasteland, and it is not within the scope of taxation. Since the imperial court wants to tax these lands, then the fine farmland of aristocratic families should be taxed even more.
Mr. Wen, you can’t be too shameless!”
The head of the Su family, the second largest family in the capital, and as the right minister of the imperial court, he didn't understand why Xie Wenqing suddenly turned against him?
Su Youxiang saw that Shangguan Xu, an old fox, didn't say anything. He obviously didn't know what he was planning. He knew that if he didn't express his opinion, the wealthy family might really be taxed.
So Right Minister Su stepped forward and said seriously, "Your Majesty, rashly taxing the land of aristocratic families will destabilize foreign countries. Please think twice."
After other ministers found this signal, as if they had found the backbone, they also hurriedly agreed,
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
"Please, Your Majesty, think again!"
Li Ming looked at these aristocratic families who had come forward and knew that it would be difficult to let these worms bleed. But with Xie Wenqing's support, how could he let them go?
So, he sneered and said, "Taxing some barren land that the common people have reclaimed will not undermine the country's foundation?"
Xie Wenqing said righteously, "Your Majesty, some people are in the court, but their hearts are only for their respective families. They are really sitting on their bodies and eating nothing. Your Majesty, please punish them severely!"
Everyone took a breath. They didn't know why Xie Wenqing was so angry that he suddenly started to support the emperor.
At this time, they saw that Shangguan Xu had not said a word, and they were a little confused. Could it be that the Shangguan family felt that there were too many aristocratic families in the capital?
Thinking of this possibility, other families panicked. If the Shangguan family and the Xie family really joined forces and wanted to take action against other families, and if they cooperated with the emperor, the other families might really become fish on the chopping board.
Master Su saw that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, so he looked at Shangguan Xu and asked very seriously, "Master Shangguan, what do you say?"
Shangguan Xu actually wanted to speak at that time, but she found that she could not move her mouth or speak, which made him panic a little.
When he heard Mr. Su's continuous questioning, he actually wanted to say that of course I don't support taxing wealthy families, but now he could only worry.
Xie Wenqing didn't wait for Shangguan Xu to speak, and sneered and said, "Master Su, Master Shangguan still wants to be shameless. He knows that with the salary of the imperial court, he has to share the worries of the imperial court.
Since you can come up with the idea of collecting taxes from the idle wasteland of the common people, and want to force the common people to have no food and clothing, no warmth, and to be preyed upon by the wealthy families again, haven't you ever thought about forcing the people to rebel?"
Xie Wenqing's words made everyone at the scene sweat dripping from their backs. They didn't expect that the people would really rebel. They just wanted to get the initiative in the fight with ordinary people, but they didn't want to make the situation like this.
steep.
After all, every time the world is turned upside down, not only the various forces have to be reshuffled, but also the aristocratic families.
Some were destroyed directly, while others became brilliant as a result.
For a moment, even Su Right Prime Minister didn't know what to do. After all, their family was the second largest family in Jinghua City, and they couldn't cover the sky with one hand.
