When Huang Zicheng was in the Jimin School, he was an auditor, and after all, he had to call Qi Tai and Lian Zining teachers, and Fang Xiaoru was a fresh graduate.

But now these two teachers don't have that kind of mind anymore, not to mention that they are not very different in age, Qi Tai took the lead and said: "I am honored by the emperor's grace, and His Majesty has given me a name. In Jimin School, I was taught by Zhang Xiang, how fortunate it is! Now! When we arrive at the Peiping Academy, we want to risk our lives and make a difference, no matter what, we have to raise money to run the school well!"

His statement was recognized by Lian Zining, and indeed it was.

Huang Zicheng also breathed a sigh of relief, "Since we are of the same heart, there is nothing difficult to do, His Highness has already obtained a sum of money from Gaoli, and now it is time to release Xin Hao and continue to squeeze, and the Jurchen tribes, Duoyan Mongolia... All in all, we have to be ruthless no matter what!"

Qi Tai pondered a little, and said helplessly: "Although it may not be suitable, for today's plan, only the barbarians have to suffer."

As soon as they finished speaking, Fang Xiaoru, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "I don't agree! Northern Xinjiang is already uneasy, and you are doing this again. In case of a series of disasters, it will not be the common people who are unlucky!"

Huang Zicheng said: "When the school is established, the students will benefit, and the benefit will also be the common people! What's more, the Yue Guogong and the others all mean this, Brother Fang, aren't you being too condescending!"

Fang Xiaoru snorted, "Brother Huang, what you said seems reasonable, but it's not. I don't object to tossing outsiders and accumulating money. But now that there is money at your fingertips, why don't you take it? What's the truth? "

Fang Xiaoru was righteous and strict, and questioned Huang Zicheng.

Huang Zicheng was taken aback, "Brother Fang, don't talk nonsense! Peiping is rich, why are we so embarrassed?"

Fang Xiaoru sneered, "Why not? It's just that you don't have the guts!"

"courage?"

Huang Zicheng couldn't help laughing, "Brother Fang, can't you be aggressive? I am now one with Peiping University, and I have no two minds to run the school! You can say it directly!"

Fang Xiaoru nodded, "Okay, now that I've said that, I won't go around in circles anymore... The commerce and trade in Peiping is prosperous, I've watched for a long time, wood, medicinal materials, silk and tea in the south, livestock in the north, minerals, everything is in Peiping. Gather. As a result, I checked, but there are not many business taxes in Beiping, what is the reason?"

These words stopped Huang Zicheng, he was stunned for a while, and then slowly said: "Beiping has always been barren. In order to recuperate and restore people's strength, the collection of commercial taxes is not high. Moreover, there seem to be not many officials in Beiping, only the left-behind department, even if you want to. There aren't that many people collecting taxes!”

Fang Xiaoru sneered, "So it is! I thought it was because I was afraid of the powerful and didn't dare to do it!"

Huang Zicheng glared at him, "Brother Fang, don't be weird, we are the teachers of the school, why should we interfere with taxation?"

Fang Xiaoru was even more disdainful, "Don't dare to touch taxes? But dare to use foreign troops? Which is the bigger problem? Forgive my stupidity, I still don't understand!"

Huang Zicheng was at a loss for words. At this time, Lian Zining heard some clues, "What's going on? Jimin School is on the bank of Poyang Lake, along the Ganjiang alley and the Yangtze River waterway. Over the years, business taxes have been levied. The amount is increasing day by day. Many students of Jimin Academy have all passed the business department and entered the tax department. Could it be that there is no proper tax collection here in Peiping?”

Qi Tai also said: "Yeah, if we can collect taxes, we will be able to live better."

Huang Zicheng pondered over and over again, and then said: "You are all experts. The business tax has always been involved in a lot of things. Honors, civil servants, scholars, since ancient times, whoever starts with taxation, no one will end well. There is Shang Yang in the distance. , Yang Yan and Wang Anshi are close. We don't even have a serious official body now, but we are involved in this kind of thing. I'm really afraid that even if there are a hundred heads on the neck, it will not be enough to chop!"

After he finished speaking, Fang Xiaoru actually stood up.

"I, Fang Xiaoru, don't have a hundred heads, but righteousness lies in a hundred deaths without regrets! I'm going to see His Royal Highness King Yan now and ask for an official body!"

After saying this, he strode out.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard someone calling him from behind. It turned out that Lian Zining followed.

"How can you let the students die in the front, but the teacher is afraid of swords and swords in the back. If you want to beheaded, let me start with Zining!" He happily patted Fang Xiaoru's shoulder, very satisfied.

At this moment, another humane said, "Why are you the only hero? Let's go together!"

Qi Tai also followed.

The three of them were about to find Zhu Di, when Huang Zicheng followed.

"You guys, isn't this embarrassing me!"

Fang Xiaoru snorted coldly, "Do you know why you are only worthy of being an auditor? It's because of the habit of a scholar-bureaucrat like you!"

Huang Zicheng was immediately speechless, his facial features were distorted... It seems that this is not the first time I heard this, Zhu Di said it, could it be that I am really too much like a scholar-officer?

So you are afraid of the business tax issue?

"Forget it, I'll be with you guys. I'll go to the guillotine in the future. I can't dodge if I want to. Let's go, let's go together!"

"Taxes?"

Zhu Di thought about it seriously, "Can this thing be faster than robbing Gaoli?"

Huang Zicheng said helplessly: "His Royal Highness King Yan, since the recovery, Peiping has been in a state of decline. The year before last, the treasury was empty and food was stolen and sold. Didn't they kill a lot of people!"

Only then did Zhu Di remember, "Yes, that's the case I handled, yes, only corrupt officials were punished at that time, and so many business taxes were not collected! Dare to owe me money, it's really boring to live! You say Well, what should I do to bring the tax up?"

Fang Xiaoru immediately said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, there are four important places in Peiping now, one is Dagukou, which is responsible for shipping; one is Tongzhou, which is for river transportation; the other is Shanhaiguan, which is responsible for the entry of goods from Liaodong into Peiping; The market is responsible for the delivery. As long as you look at all these places, it is not difficult to collect taxes."

Zhu Di looked at Huang Zicheng, and Huang Zicheng nodded, "That's true, but does His Highness want to think about it?"

Zhu Di rolled his eyes, "What are you thinking about? Is there any tax that I dare not collect in this world? Now I will give you four tokens, one for each, and let me take care of it! No matter who you encounter, dare you not? Pay your taxes and arrest them immediately!"

Qi Tai, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said, "Then Your Highness will prepare a spacious place!"

Zhu Di was startled... could it be so serious?

Anyway, get moving!

Turning around, these four were fully armed and dispatched directly.

They are all attached to the guards of the palace. These people only listen to Zhu Di's orders, and they are definitely the best sharp blades to use... Huang Zicheng asked for orders to go to Shanhaiguan, and these goods are still chicken thieves. It's just a group of girls, don't care too much.

Qi Tai went to Dagu to monitor the exchanges of maritime business.

Lian Zining originally wanted to stay in Peiping. He knew very well that there were many things in the city, and they were trivial. He was afraid that Fang Xiaoru would not be able to get them.

But Fang Xiaoru resolutely stayed in Peiping, the more difficult it was, the more he had to face it.

This guy is worthy of being a stubborn kind, the kind that admits death, never returns, and never regrets death.

Lian Zining could only tell him to be more careful.

Fang Xiaoru nodded vigorously, he proposed this method, but he already had some eyebrows.

His first target was the office of Zongzheng Temple in Peking.

When Fang Xiaoru led the troops to kill, the people inside almost laughed out loud.

They looked at Fang Xiaoru, not angry, but funny.

"This little official... How old are you this year? Are you in your twenties? Do you know where this place is! Zongzheng Temple, doing financial business for the palace, you dare to come and ask for trouble? Even His Royal Highness Yan Wang will not Come and make trouble!"

The man snarled and angrily said, "You still haven't retreated?"

Contrary to his expectations, Fang Xiaoru did not have the slightest fear, but said lightly, "His Royal Highness Yan does not dare to come, it does not mean that I do not dare to come either. I have obeyed the law of King Daming!"

The man was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Okay! Unselfish, right? Let me tell you, we are here to talk to King Yan about the delivery of Liujiagang Shipyard. This matter is out of Peiping's control! Come on, you You can go back."

Fang Xiaoru still stood there, unmoved.

The man frowned, "Why, you don't understand the words? Do you have to go against Zongzheng Temple?"

Fang Xiaoru laughed and said: "You are indeed here to talk about the shipyard, but why did you bring a thousand pieces of fine silk to Peiping in private? You sold it to a Hu merchant two days ago, with a total of 76,000 pieces. Baochao. This person is still in Peiping, do you want to invite him to confront him?"

The official of Zongzheng Temple was taken aback, "You, how did you know?"

Fang Xiaoru laughed and said: "If you want people to be ignorant, you can do nothing unless you do it yourself. In the name of negotiating business, you bring goods privately and sell them for profit. You don't pay taxes! crime!"

In an instant, the official lost his confidence and hurriedly bowed: "Sir, come first, let's talk slowly, how about it?"

Fang Xiaoru shook his head, "No need! The fine silk should pay 40% of the tax. Due to the arrears, the tax should be increased by 20%. The total is 45,600. If you pay it now, I will go to Wenzongzheng Temple and say that you are making up for it. Pay the tax... If you don't pay, I will write additional documents to the Department of Punishment and the Censor's Office to deal with you by smuggling Tongrong!"

Fang Xiaoru is not talking nonsense. The students of Jimin Academy, guarding Poyang Lake, are very clear about the business tax. What's more, Fang Xiaoru's father was demoted to Lingnan, and he was also in charge of this matter, and he was more experienced.

The official of Zongzheng Temple couldn't resist.

"I, if I pay the tax, I will lose money! I can't explain it!"

Fang Xiaoru sneered contemptuously and said, "You can't blame me for this. You should have raised the price of silk! In the end, you were greedy for money and profit, and sold the treasures given to Ming by God for cheap! This is a lesson!"

Dude, totally ruthless.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang Xiaoru took the tax money, strode out, and walked out. The soldiers who followed Fang Xiaoru secretly gave a thumbs up.

This young master Xiao Fang, although young, dares to pull his teeth out, and even dares to ask for money from Zongzheng Temple, what a formidable future!

"Go~www.mtlnovel.com~ to the next one!"

Fang Xiaoru was in Peiping, checking taxes everywhere, without the slightest politeness... Soon, the whole Peiping was in chaos.

Those with a little bit of power are looking for people all over the world, thinking of ways to stop this lunatic!

Zhu Di returned from hunting in the daytime. As soon as he entered the palace, he encountered the official of Zongzheng Temple waiting for him.

"His Royal Highness Yan, everyone is doing business for the prince, but they want to fill the household a little bit. It's not easy for us to come so far! As a result, 60% of this money was taken away by your people! You let the lower official go back. Yingtian, how do you face your colleagues!"

Zhu Di was stunned for a while before he figured out what was going on. He couldn't help frowning, and murmured, "What's going on? I'll give you 40% of it?"
