Chapter 141 Gu Dayong's Life Planning
Yan Chengjin came aside and secretly helped Gu Dayong plan his future life. It seemed that no one in Australia had gone.
"Your Highness, I will test you a mystery."
When he heard the riddle, Zhu Houzhao felt energetic: "I am very smart, and ordinary riddles cannot be difficult for me."
"Your Highness can't guess this puzzle."
Zhu Houzhao stared at her eyes: "You said!"
"This thing is very strange. There is a nest on the belly. It can raise rats in the nest. Two feet are born under the body. Take one step in five steps, and it is as fast as a rabbit in the grass."
I am not looking down on you, even if I tell you the answer, you don’t know what it is.
"Give His Highness a quarter of an hour."
After a while, Zhu Houzhao scratched her ears and said anxiously: "Old Gao, wait a little longer, I am about to guess it, wait a little longer."
"It's a kangaroo." Yan Chengjin ignored him and directly revealed the answer.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned. He had seen countless rare treasures and had a lot of research on tigers and leopards. He had never heard of kangaroos.
"What is Kangaroo?"
Yan Chengjin was calm and gentle: "I also heard from Franji people that this thing ran faster than the red rabbit, and it was even south on the Japanese island, not very far away. The most important thing is that this beast only eats grass and does not spend money. Your Highness can let Gu Dayong catch one back."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes shine, it's good to eat grass. When he left the capital, there was grass everywhere, and he would eat whatever he wanted without spending money.
Just as I was worried that I had no fun recently, I nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
What is your future career plan?
Yan Chengjin thought that Gu Dayong would definitely not be able to answer such a profound question, so he helped him plan it.
In fact, sometimes, you don’t need to plan your own life at all.
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao showed some fun and touched Yan Chengjin's arm: "Old Gao, I heard that you have impeached Master Ma."
"What did your Highness say about this?"
"Look at the back of you."
Ma Wensheng stood behind suddenly, especially his shriveled old face, grinning, and his half-yellow teeth were as ferocious as ghosts.
Almost scared Yan Chengjin and went back in time.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and looked like she was watching the fun. She wanted Ma Wensheng to beat Lao Gao, the arrogant guy.
When Lao Gao was still breathing a sigh of relief, he would help him again.
In that case, Lao Gao will definitely be grateful for his life-saving grace and then act as a cow for him.
Ma Wensheng stretched out his hand, held Yan Chengjin's hand affectionately, patted it again and again, very kind: "I will never forget the kindness of my nephew's impeachment."
Zhu Houzhao was so shocked that her chin fell down, and Yan Chengjin didn't react.
What kind of stimulation did this be? Brain disease?
Ma Wensheng sighed a few times: "The tax envoy who killed the fish and meat people, made meritorious service."
He beat someone to death and made meritorious service?
Yan Chengjin and Zhu Hou looked strange in appearance.
However, Yan Chengjin understood the words "Fishing the People" and "Tax Envoy" after hearing the two words "Fishing the People" and "Tax Envoy".
In the Ming Dynasty eunuch industry, in addition to the Sili Supervisor, there are three positions with low employment rates but high income, namely eunuchs, eunuchs who purchase eunuchs, and tax supervisors.
The commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty was based on thirty taxes, which was extremely relaxed to merchants.
But I couldn't collect any money. In ten years, the mining tax received was only about 100,000 taels of silver.
After all, it was only more than 10,000 taels of silver a year, and the expenses and salary of the ministers were almost gone.
Later, the collection of mining taxes became oral forms and almost no longer collected.
However, the tax supervisors, under the name of the imperial court, formulated tax amounts without authorization, and even made some taxes out of thin air.
Some places do not raise silkworms at all, but still have to pay silk taxes. In fact, the imperial court did not issue an order to collect these taxes.
The parents and officials colluded with the tax supervisor, and the comments were blocked, and the people had no way to tell the truth and had no hope. They either rebel or fled.
Relying on his own as a tax supervisor, Jiang Zong was greedy for money and was lucky enough to touch Emperor Hongzhi's reverse scales, and he died in vain if he died.
This guy Ma Jie stepped on the shit.
Emperor Hongzhi wanted to deal with it, and he was also treated with ease.
However, Yan Chengjin really didn't know that Ma Jie was the personal income tax prison.
"It was because the officials of the emperor who reported to His Majesty that he had done good deeds."
Zhu Houzhao's face was full of surprise.
This guy, Lao Gao, is so bad. He clearly sued others and said he had done good things. Zhu Houzhao felt that he had learned it again...
Ma Wensheng felt a little embarrassed, so gloomy that water dripped out. Is it a good thing to beat someone to death? It was a tax prison who was favoritism and abused the law. Don’t talk nonsense.
"Your Majesty has issued an order to thoroughly investigate this matter. If you remember the merits, I will report to Your Majesty that you will remember your merits."
"Then I'll be in trouble."
After Ma Wen was promoted, Zhu Houzhao came up and said, "Old Gao, can you still make a contribution when you beat someone to death?"
"Why... try Gu Dayong?" Yan Chengjin blinked.
Gu Dayong was so scared that his face turned miserable: "I didn't offend Lord Yan..."
Why did the eunuch Changsui beside the prince disappear frequently? Who is the murderer?
Gu Dayong was puzzled. Fortunately, he followed him today and realized what was going on. His feelings were "arranged" by others.
Yan Chengjin shook his head, don’t you have to disappear if you don’t become enemies with me? No, as long as you call Gu Dayong, you still have to disappear.
Zhu Houzhao said: "Forget it, Gu Fan is still useful."
Gu Dayong breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhu Houzhao smiled again: "Company Gu, please pack your luggage, Lao Gao, what's the name of that place?"
Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully. The Ming Dynasty had not discovered Australia and had no name. Anyway, it was not his business to push Franji's human body.
"According to Franchise, it seems to be called...Australia?"
"It's Australia!" Zhu Houzhao danced: "You go and find a mount for me to come back. I want to keep it in the East Palace. This thing is called a bag...kangaroo!"
Gu Dayong couldn't hold on and fainted.
"Old Gao, what should I do? He seems to be scared to death?"
"In my opinion, Gu Fan is pretending."
After carrying it back to the Eastern Palace, Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered people to wake Gu Dayong. When Gu Dayong woke up, his carriage and horses were ready, so he had to set off immediately.
Zhu Houzhao was very interested in beating people to make contributions. There were such good things in the world. As soon as Gu Dayong left the palace, he ordered people to call all the tax prisons in the capital.
In Fengtian Hall,
Emperor Hongzhi ordered the factory guards to thoroughly investigate Jiang Zong's mansion to see what bad things he had done in the capital over the years, how much money he had greedy for and how many people he had involved.
Just when he was sad, a little eunuch broke into the hall in panic, and was so anxious that he almost cried: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, arrested two tax prisons in Datong and said he wanted to kill them and make meritorious service."
Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded.
I didn't react for a long time.
For a moment, I actually doubted whether I was the prince's biological father. I am gentle, humble, wise and virtuous, so how could I give birth to such a son?
"Why did it happen?"
"I don't know either."
Xiao Jing frowned. Why didn't Gu Dayong report such a big deal in advance?
Your Majesty grew up by the eunuchs and palace maids since childhood, and was very kind to his close ministers around him. The prince might make His Majesty angry.
