    Noodles must be eaten while they are hot. Only by eating them piping hot can you feel the hearty taste.

    The mutton soup is very delicious, and after adding chili, it explodes on the taste buds.

    Fang Xing finished the noodles in one go, drank all the soup, and then put down his chopsticks still unfinished.

    Wiping his mouth, Fang Xing stood up and went down the stairs without even looking at Wang Chengyan.

    Wang Chengyan was still in a daze and didn't realize that the ship had docked.

    When the slight vibration came, he was startled and hurried to the window to look down.

    Xin Laoqi was the first to land on the shore, and then looked around.  Then Fang Xing came ashore and looked back.

    Smile!

    He smiled calmly, but in Wang Chengyan's eyes, Fang Xing was like a demon with his mouth wide open.

    "Mr. Fang, who do you belong to?"

    Fang Xing smiled, mounted his horse and left.

    Five guards!

    There are many people who can afford five guards these days, but not many people dare to carry five guards through the city like this.

    Because it¡¯s easy to be remembered!

    Who is he?

    Wang Chengyan¡¯s mind was a little confused. He recalled what Fang Shishi had said today, and finally settled on the word tax.

    At this time, the voice of the old man came from below: "Girl, this man is a thief and refuses to reward me!"

    "There is no need for any reward. I just try my best today. Just pass it."

    Wang Chengyan heard the relief and joy in Meng Yan's words and hurried downstairs.

    "Miss Mengyan, may I ask who that Fang Shishi is?"

    Several pieces of treasure money magically slipped out of Wang Chengyan's sleeves, and he decided without hesitation to give up his money to avoid disaster.  As for the two guards who were knocked unconscious and left in the corner, he didn't care at all.

    Mengyan took a step back and said coldly: "What the guest said is hard to understand. Mengyan is used to taking a nap, so please help yourself."

    No one is a fool, most of the people who take risks for money are greedy people.

    ¡° Ke Mengyan is very measured.

    With two guards who were still dazed, Wang Chengyan arrived at the store in a state of despair. The shopkeeper saw something wrong with his expression and asked.

    "The man had official aura, or noble aura, so he asked me if I would like to let Shengchang from other places pay taxes."

    The shopkeeper was startled and suddenly thought of someone, "Master, could it be"

    Wang Chengyan had an idea that was brewing at the moment, and was awakened by the shopkeeper's words.

    "Could it be him?"

    The shopkeeper panicked and said, "Sir, this man is known to be magnanimous!"

    Wang Chengyan clenched his fist and said sternly: "So what if it's him? There are so many merchants in the south, how can he still collect taxes from one house to another? Besides, I am in this big market. If he dares to take action, it will arouse public anger.  !¡±

    The shopkeeper heard the guilt in these words, and he whispered: "Master, if we make friends, then we will be the first ones, and we will be regarded as aliens, which will be difficult! Why don't we all share the same difficulties?"  "

    Wang Chengyan said coldly: "I have already booked a restaurant. Later you can go and invite those who do business for the rich."

    The shopkeeper said sincerely: "The master is wise."

    ¡­¡­

    Fang Xing returned to his residence burping. Zhu Zhanji had finished his meal and was talking to an acquaintance of Fang Xing's.

    "I've met my uncle."

    Xu Qing cupped his hands and stepped back.

    When Zhu Zhanji saw Fang Xing¡¯s appearance, he smiled and said, ¡°What did that person say?¡±

    After Fang Xing sat down, he took a sip of tea and said, "That's cutting the flesh. Of course he won't do it, but he should be able to guess my identity. If he still dares to hold on, then don't blame yourself for the misfortune."

    There was an evil aura in these words, and Xu Qin beside him couldn't help but feel tight in his heart, remembering the lesson Fang Xing gave them last time.

    Fang Xing saw that Zhu Zhanji was a little tired, so he said: "This matter is not urgent. Anyway, we had originally issued a document asking all localities to start collecting taxes on luxury goods. However, these days, the Ministry of Household Affairs has received very little tax."  It¡¯s not much, let¡¯s take care of it!¡±

    With Zhu Zhanji here, Fang Xing had to worry about his reputation. Otherwise, instead of entertaining guests in the boat today, he would directly ask someone to call Wang Chengyan for questioning.

    Zhu Zhanji mused: "It is a good thing to have a famous teacher, but we must be cautious about this matter, otherwise it will cause trouble among businessmen, even if it isOnce it calms down, there will be undercurrents surging throughout the South.  "

    Fang Xing nodded and said: "I know, so I paid him to go to Hua Fang for dinner today. This is to be polite first and then to fight."

    Xu Qing roughly knew what Zhu Zhanji and Fang Xing were going to do, so he said cautiously: "Your Highness, Uncle, most of those wealthy businessmen will not be willing to pay taxes. This It seems to be natural. When the big market opened, many merchants were  They are complaining about tax collection and talking about competing for profits from the people."

    Zhu Zhanji said coldly: "They are also considered citizens? Rich businessmen are not considered citizens!"

    Xu Qing felt a thump in his heart, and finally understood where the officials and businessmen's fear of Zhu Zhanji came from.

    "It's not considered a citizen, but it's not considered an official either. So what is it?"

    If you are not the people, then you can't talk about competing for benefits with the people.

    Fang Xing smiled and said: "They are just a class between officials and people. They make a lot of money and their homes are as luxurious as the palace, but they are unwilling to benefit from the world by plucking a dime. Let's think about it the other way around.  , why do farmers have to pay taxes?¡±

    Xu Qing only felt a buzz in his head, and a voice echoed in his mind.

    ¡ª¡ªWealthy businessmen don¡¯t pay taxes, why should farmers pay taxes?  !

    Zhu Zhanji also praised: "This is exactly the reason. Farmers can only maintain their livelihood, but wealthy businessmen have many extravagances. If they don't pay taxes, will the Ming Dynasty be supported by those hard-working farmers?"

    Xu Qing cupped his hands and said: "My uncle's words made the common people wake up from a dream. I used to think that not paying taxes was a natural thing. Seeing those farmers paying taxes every year, I just thought it was natural. Now that I think about it, it is unkind to be rich!"

    Fang Xing said: "This is a matter of course, but the Ming Dynasty has been faltering on business taxes. As time goes by, businessmen think that they should not pay taxes, and no one thinks about it."

    If collecting business taxes is about competing with the people for profit, then what does it mean for farmers to pay taxes every year?

    Are farmers not citizens?

    Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Dehua, leave this matter to the people of Jinyiwei."

    Dongchang regards himself as the emperor's domestic slave, Zhu Zhanji is a little uneasy, worried that the middle method will be leaked.

    Fang Xing smiled and said, "I'm just a businessman. It'll be fine if you be careful."

    Later, Fang Xing brought Xu Qing out, and the two talked in the front yard.

    Xu Qing had probably figured it out and said, "His Highness called me down and asked about the situation of wealthy businessmen in the south."

    Fang Xing put his hands behind his hands and looked at the big tree that was bleak in the autumn wind, and said: "The territory of the Ming Dynasty is huge at this time. In the future, all trade routes will be liberalized. How many merchants will make a fortune every year? In the early and late Song Dynasty, commercial taxes were used to support them.  Being able to withstand the attacks of the Mongolians for a long time is the benefit of the commercial tax."

    "There are many people who know this truth, but they are unwilling to risk the disapproval of the world to advise His Majesty. This is a wise way of protecting oneself, but it can also show the strength of wealthy businessmen."

    How could Yang Rong and others not know the benefits of business tax, but wealthy businessmen often have inextricable relationships with gentry and officials, and their influence can affect the whole body.

    Suggestions are easy to say. Regardless of whether they are adopted or not, both Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi will appreciate them.

    What¡¯s the price?

    The Ming Dynasty actually relied on the gentry to govern at the grassroots level. These people hate you to the core. What will your descendants do in the future?

    "You go ahead and don't let this matter leak out."

    After Xu Qing left, Fang Xing called Fei Shi.

    Since Zhu Zhanji and Fang Xing arrived in Jinling, the originally somewhat silent Jin Yiwei suddenly became active.

    Especially the Taiping Mansion case involved many officials, which added a lot of luster to Fei Shi's face.

    "Go check the situation in Shengchang and be more detailed." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
