"Your prince has been beheaded for obstructing commercial tax! So, don't think that you are from the royal palace and you can not pay commercial tax!"

Zeng Yu, the governor of the West Factory, and others came to Chongwenmen Street again to collect commercial taxes.

At this time, in front of the gambling hall opened by the King of Jin's Mansion, Zeng Yu was still preventing the people in the West Factory from collecting new commercial taxes because the people in these gambling halls relied on their background in the royal palace.

Therefore, Zeng Yu shouted a few words first, then shouted: "Shoot! Kill these people who obstruct tax resistance!"

"The prince was beheaded?"

After hearing Zeng Yu's words, the people from this gambling hall were half-believing and half-doubting, and the flag school at the West Factory fired a gun.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The rows of muskets directly shot dense lead bombs into the bodies of these casino thugs.

The people in these gambling halls fell into the room like cut wheat stubble, and they could not move one by one.

Seeing this, Gui Qizhi, the shopkeeper of the gambling hall, immediately shouted: "Hurry up, call the accountant and present the account book!"

Then, the shopkeeper Gui took off without saying a word, and then knelt in the middle of the lobby of the gambling hall, shouting to the tax collector who was shrouded in white smoke outside the house: "The youngest is the fond official of the King of Jin's mansion and the shopkeeper Gui Qizhi of this gambling hall. I am very pleased to pay commercial taxes to all the officials. I also ask the officials to wait for a while. The youngest has asked someone to call the account room and get the account book!"

"If I had known how to cooperate, why would you let these thugs in your gambling hall die? It would be so bad that your gambling hall business would be. We will only wait for you for half a quarter of an hour, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, we will copy the store!"

Zeng Yu replied at this time.

Not long after, the accountant came with the account book.

The Wenshu of the West Factory began to verify the commercial tax that the gambling hall needs to pay according to the profit records in the account books.

Finally, the West Factory successfully collected the commercial tax in this gambling hall.

The merchants gathered outside to see the situation and had to pay taxes after seeing the prince's property, they all honestly paid the commercial taxes.

...

And in the cabinet for several days.

Wang Sanshan said to Yuan Keli: "Yuanfu, the shops on Chongwenmenwai Street have now paid commercial tax according to the new commercial tax rate. Except for industries with a profit scale below 100 taels of taxes and are not taxed due to tax exemption, the total input of Chongwenmenwai Street commercial tax levied is three times that of the past. According to this estimate, if the new commercial tax can be successfully implemented nationwide, the annual income will be far greater than the previous land tax. Even if the imperial court needs to spend more money and grain to hire the people to build various projects in the future, it will be one or two times more annual income than the current one."

Yuan Keli smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. The number of shops is increasing. There are commercial towns everywhere in the Jiangnan area, and new towns are added every year. Many small rural areas have become large towns in a few years. Therefore, the future income of the court's commercial tax is immeasurable!"

"With that being said, Yuan Fu has ever thought that the number of shops is increasing. Then will the number of people who dislike Yuan Fu be increasing at that time?"

Wei Guangwei asked with a smile at this time.

"Then let them be disgusted! Yuan Fu is the assistant minister of Your Majesty, not the assistant minister of the merchants in the world! Why bother with the merchants in the world!"

Bi Ziyan directly confronted Wei Guangwei at this time.

Since Yuan Keli told him that the famous saying of Wang Yangming left to Yuan Keli by Fang Congzhe: "This heart is bright, so what else can I say?", his will to reform has also been much stronger.

Then, Bi Ziyan questioned Wei Guangwei again: "What Duke Wei means is that shouldn't the commercial tax be changed?!"

Wei Guangwei put a stroke in his hand on the table and quickly denied, "I don't have this intention, so Mr. Bi must have misunderstood."

"No, Mr. Wei, you have this intention!"

"If Mr. Wei really feels that the commercial tax should not be implemented, when the imperial court discusses this matter, Mr. Wei should raise it, instead of sarcasticizing it here!"

Bi Ziyan directly retorted.

"I don't understand what Mr. Bi said. What did you mock him?"

Wei Guangwei asked with awkward smile.

"Okay! Don't argue anymore, you two!"

Han Yu stopped the dispute between the two at this time, and then said to Yuan Keli: "Liqing, because of this commercial tax reform, many censors have submitted memorials to impeach you to harm the royal family and abuse power and chaotic government. You are Yuan Fu. In your opinion, you should write a letter to defend yourself according to convention."

"Only speaking, one must defend oneself. When writing a vote, you should still make a little reprimand. At most, you must confiscate your salary for half a year or a year. If you are the one who is the world, you must be sure that your Majesty will be sure."

At this time, Xu Guangqi returned to the cabinet from Damingyuan, walked in, and suggested.

Han Yu hurriedly stood up and asked, "I'm here first! What's the dragon body in His Majesty? When will he summon us?"

Xu Guangqi replied: "Your Majesty is still healthy in the dragon body. However, you have not mentioned the summoning of all the officials. I also asked. Your Majesty said that the Ming Dynasty is in full swing and there are all the ministers to assist in the government. He should do nothing and study more and cultivate his nature. As for the summoning, he will only summon him when he needs to see him."

Han Yu didn't say anything after hearing this, and was surprised. Your Majesty always had to ask about everything and would summon cabinet ministers to discuss matters every day. Why did he suddenly mention that he wanted to do nothing?

After thinking for a while, Han Yu felt that he could not be fooled by His Majesty's superficial words. If the king said true faith, he would lose. He thought to himself: "Your Majesty is not a person who is willing to delegate power. He is doing this now, just because he is deliberately confusing his ministers and planning something behind his back. He can no longer be as rash as when His Majesty ascended the throne. It is better to be cautious."

So, Han Hou just smiled and replied, "Yes!"

Wei Guangwei therefore thought in his mind: "Your Majesty, I don't know if it was his Majesty who taught him when he was alive. He was so sloppy! On the surface, he was suddenly trying to rule. He clearly waited for Yuan Keli and other crazy guys to plunder the wealth of merchants in the world before coming forward, and then used Yuan Keli's head to thank the people of the world. In this way, he won the profit of commercial taxes and did not have to bear this reputation. The kings who can calculate the world all the way. They wanted to plunder the money of the world's clan, but they didn't want the world's clan to hate him! Naturally, they liked people who were willing to be scolded for him! If they wanted to go further in the future, they had to do so, but why would the benefits belong to the king? I, Wei Xianbo, don't believe it. Those who are the chief minister must be in this way!"

"Then please ask Mr. Han to do this on the ticket. Whether it is a reprimand or a salary fine, but the new commercial tax cannot be stopped."

Yuan Keli replied.

"From the servant, I have to pay attention to the world's affairs. Although Yuan Fu's previous actions were iron-fisted and had very good results, they would indeed make the people of the world even more angry. After all, there were many royal children killed this time. Even if Your Majesty could understand Yuan Gong's painstaking efforts and not pursue them, other royal nobles might not be able to understand them. It is nothing to submit an impeachment for me. I am afraid that these people will incite in private, turn black and white, and fabricate lies, so that more and more people are dissatisfied with commercial taxes. In this way, civil strife will inevitably intensify!"

Xu Guangqi said.

"The same is true for me, but Yuan Fu seems to have made a decision, and Mr. Bi even said that Wei was sarcastic!"

Wei Guangwei replied.

Bi Ziyan saw this and said: "Duke Wei said that the business tax is increasing every year, and more and more people are disgusted with Yuanfu, rather than what Mr. Xu said now. If the discussions of the world are not paid attention to, more and more people will cause trouble. Mr. Wei said that there are many dissatisfaction with the new business tax inside and outside. Mr. Xu said that inside and outside, he was planning for the smooth implementation of the new business tax. Mr. Wei was thinking about Yuanfu on the face, but in fact he was secretly watching the play, not ridiculed. If Mr. Wei really felt that the new business tax could not be implemented, he should directly submit a memorial to Your Majesty and talk about its disadvantages. Why should he pretend to be hypocritical here!”

"servant!"

Wei Guangwei opened his mouth to argue, but he didn't know how to argue for a moment.
