Chapter 340 Can the Prince Fight?
After both parties pressed their hand seals, Madam Li looked calm, even showing a hint of reluctance, which made Li Shanglian feel relieved.
No matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't let anyone hinder Zong'er's future.
Madam Li wiped her tears with her handkerchief, turned her face slightly, and finally dared to show a smile that she could hardly hide. She whispered to the servants, "Quick, quick, take the document to the government office immediately."
"Don't let him come to his senses."
Seeing Li Shanglian's ruthless steps when he left the house, Lady Li couldn't help but think of a saying: "If God wants to destroy someone, he must first make him crazy."
......
Bei Jingchu frowned as he looked at the information sent back from the Zhang family.
She had calculated that after Yu'er was scolded, the Zhang family would vent their anger on Li Zong.
However, after Li Zong left the Li family, there was no news from him except for one letter every day.
After just one meeting, she could tell that the man was not a low-key person. If he was really recruited by the Zhang family, he would definitely show off and let all the neighbors know and compliment him.
Not quite right.
She asked someone to keep an eye on the Zhang family, and she went to see the emperor with the prepared memorials.
The news that Bei Jingchu wanted to reorganize the national treasury was heard by some well-informed people.
Some people didn't take it seriously, but some people became alert.
Chang Tingyi's heart sank immediately.
The silly younger brother was still laughing there foolishly: "If they want to tidy up, then let them tidy up. What does it have to do with us? Why is brother so jumpy? You are not steady at all. Hahahaha~"
Chang Tingyi: “…”
This brother is still drooling even after being cured.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to remain calm and said, "If the prince wants to take back the land, he will definitely not go against the poor and the common people. He can only attack the aristocratic families."
"Just like in the history books, when a vassal was weakened, the first person to go up against the strongest vassal king would not be the first one to go up against him."
At the same time, Bei Jingchu was also in the imperial study, and said to the emperor: "So we will start with the less powerful aristocratic families first."
"Although the Five Surnames and other clans are closely related, if the knife is not cut on them, they will not feel any personal pain, so it will not be that difficult to deal with them."
Bei Jingchu continued: "If Aye doesn't want to see blood, there are two other ways."
"First, after the salt and iron industry is officially run, the purchase of salt will be based on household registration, and the amount each household and each person can buy will be restricted, which can encourage the people who have escaped from the registration system to register as salt."
"But it is already difficult to control the private sale of salt and iron. If we impose such restrictions, I am afraid that many people will smuggle for profit, and the benefits of government-run businesses will be greatly reduced."
"Second, the tax rate will be calculated based on the land area."
"That is, we will abolish the poll tax and replace it with a land tax. This way, no matter how many lands are annexed, even if the common people have no land, and all the land is concentrated in the hands of the wealthy families, it will not harm the interests of taxation."
"But tax revenue alone will not be harmed. If too much land is annexed, it will sooner or later burn the court, and Dai Viet will be destroyed."
Bei Heng tried to hold back, but couldn't help it, and said tiredly: "Chu'er, don't always talk about the loss of the country, it's unlucky."
Bei Jingchu was a good child who listened to Aye and immediately changed the topic: "Then the dynasty has changed."
Beiheng: ...Is there any difference?
The prince is too rebellious. Can he be beaten?
The rebellious prince grinned a perverted smile, and everyone saw him as a villain.
The villain said: "We can't just sit back and watch the land annexation. We should make plans early. I think that we can carry out the land tax and the recovery of the land illegally acquired by the nobles at the same time."
"Hehe, aren't we planning to move the capital recently? While the pillars of the wealthy families have all followed Aye, the rest are just idiots with no skills."
"I'll stay in the capital and kill every one of my friends with my sword."
Bei Jingchu stretched out his hand and made a neck-clicking gesture. The two looked at each other and reached a consensus.
In the afternoon, Bei Jingchu returned to the East Palace exhausted from work. He majestically waved away the servants and waited quietly for the door to close.
Start creeping in the dark.
Yan Chao in the dark: ...
Ah, it's okay, I'm used to it. The prince is very stable today, and is no longer the bright and cheerful little princess.
She knew that being a prince would make one crazy.
After going crazy, Bei Jingchu rolled onto the couch and took a nap.
After she mentioned investigating what the Zhang family had done, her people quickly took action.
A group of people broke into the cell. There should have been guards there, but except for those who were imprisoned, there was no one in sight.
A man came to Li Zong, who had been imprisoned for many days and was already emaciated.
Li Zong subconsciously put his hands in front of his face and shrank back, "No, no, no, don't hit me."
It looked so pitiful.
The people who came rescued everyone who was imprisoned here, and Haoyue also reported the news to her prince: "Your Highness, Li Zong went to investigate, but because they were not very important people, I did not keep a close eye on them, so they ran away and no evidence was left."
"In the prison cell, there are many students of commoner origin who are locked up separately. After I had someone interrogate them, I found out that except for Li Zong, there is another person who was locked up after making a deal with the Zhang family."
“Others don’t even know who they’re working for.”
