Everyone looked at this courtier, and wondered in their hearts, isn't it true that everyone should learn from the prime minister to say such auspicious words, but speaking of which, the prime minister's method is really useful.Don't look at what you want now, but these words can make Long Yan happy, then what you want in the future is not sure you can't say, even if you don't want anything, Your Majesty will reward you more.In this way, not only will His Majesty feel that the prime minister is greedy, but it will make His Majesty feel that this is a courtier who has nothing to ask for, and this good reputation has also been obtained.This is simply a good way to kill two birds with one stone, Emperor Pingshun was in a good mood at this time, looking at the old minister in front of him, with a soft look in his eyes, he said softly: "Meng Shilang, what do you want, you can say it." ”This is Meng Chong, the head of the household.Meng Chong knelt on the ground and said, "The minister implores Your Majesty to reduce taxes, now is the spring plowing season, because the imperial court suddenly increased taxes, and many farmers have abandoned farming. ”The people of the household department can be said to have gray hair these days because of this matter.Although it is said that the household department is a place to collect taxes, the imperial court increases taxes, which seems to be good for the household department.However, because the taxes were too heavy, many of them had already given up farming.Otherwise, after a hard year, paying rent and taxes, and not even having their own rations left, who would have planted a variety of land at most with their own one-third of an acre.As for the large area of land of the landlords, it was simply impossible to rent out, and it was directly deserted.There are too many taxes, but no one farms the land, where to collect taxes to Meng Langzhong's proposal, which is indeed a good thing for the country and the people.It's just that there are so many people in the court, only Meng Langzhong thought of this, but why didn't anyone stand up, whoever said it was tantamount to putting himself on the cusp, and at this time, a few fools would say it, at this time, when everyone heard Meng Langzhong's words, they all fell silent.The palace banquet, which was quite lively just now, was silent for a while.Emperor Pingshun's face was a little gloomy, and he was obviously angry at what Meng Langzhong said.I think it is, this old fool was still singing praises of virtue a moment ago, saying that he was in a peaceful and prosperous world, and at this time, someone put out the shortcomings of the court and the suffering of the people, didn't this break the dream of this old fool Emperor Pingshun snorted and did not speak.Cheng Zhi over there, but stood up with a smile: "Your Majesty is angry, I believe that Meng Shilang also has no intention of offending Your Majesty, he has now realized his mistake and hopes that Your Majesty will be lightly punished." ”Meng Shilang was a brainstorm, at this time he raised his voice and said: "Prime Minister, what I said was not unintentional at all, but I put it forward seriously in my heart" Speaking of this, Meng Shilang buckled his head again: "Please also ask Your Majesty for permission, otherwise I will make the people unhappy" Emperor Pingshun looked at Meng Shilang with a gloomy face.Cheng Zhizhi said coldly at this time: "Meng Shilang, I think you are old and confused, Your Majesty only ordered an increase in taxes not long ago, you made such a request at this time, wouldn't it make Your Majesty go back on his word, and you must know where you can play like this" Emperor Pingshun said coldly: "Seriously, as you said, someone doesn't farm anymore" Qin Yuheng also stood up at this time, he looked at Emperor Pingshun and said: "Father, this is the foundation of the country, and too heavy taxes will indeed affect the amount of cultivation of farmers, and it will also affect the tax revenue of the imperial court." ”When Qin Yuheng thought of this world, he felt a sense of powerlessness, he had to do something.When Emperor Pingshun heard this, he was really a little shaken, he only had taxes in his eyes, and he didn't care about the lives of the people at all, Qin Yuheng also knew this, and knew that he could only use taxes to persuade Emperor Pingshun.Cheng Zhizhi smiled and said: "The matter of taxation is simple, they are the people, the reason why they abandon farming and don't plant, is not to compete with the imperial court and threaten the imperial court to reduce taxes" Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaoxiao's voice sank slightly: "I have a plan here to directly issue a decree, if the farmers do not farm, they will collect and pay taxes according to their capitation, so that these Diao people are naturally afraid, and where is there a reason not to farm" Cheng Zhi's words fell.Lin Jingxian's heart was full of anger, this is simply a scourge that not only harmed his own life, but now he has to treat the people of Dashun as child's play.These farmers may not have been rich in the past, but they are finally self-sufficient, and their lives are open and happy, but now these farmers have worked hard for a year, and they can't eat enough.It's just that I want the horses to run, and I don't give the horses grass to eat, and the farmers will starve to death sooner or later, and Cheng knows that this is simply doing it on the foundation of Dashun.Lin Jingxian looked at Cheng Zhixiao with a calm face, and continued to think about it, the more she thought about it, the more she understood what Cheng Xiaoxiao meant.It seems that this general Zuo is not going to live in peace.If Cheng Zhizhi really wanted to sit in the position of prime minister for a long time, then he would not kill chickens and take eggs and put forward such a bad idea.Speaking of countless corrupt officials in Dashun, no one is the same as Cheng Zhizhi, and he directly made such a big ruthless move.At most, it's just picking up eggs and cutting wool.Cheng knew that this killing of chickens and eggs was not for short-term greed at all, he was to make the dynasty turbulent, and the people were dissatisfied.This idea was made by him, but when it reached the ears of the people, a few people would think that it was Cheng Zhi who came out in the end, and he didn't complain about the Qin family's emperor in Pingshun and Qin Yuheng, and felt that the emperor of the Qin family was mediocre Lin Jingxian didn't think there was anything wrong with fighting for power, after all, this change of dynasty is also a normal thing, but it shouldn't be done, that is, to abandon the people and ignore General Zuo's lineage, and now he can do such a thing that is not tolerated, then even if he gets the world, can he love the people in the future?
Lin Jingxian, who can never get the world, has a bit of sharpness in her heart, even if it is not for the people, for her own sake, she must not watch General Zuo succeed.If only there was such a day.Lin Jingxian asked herself, I am afraid that she has no possibility of living at all.Zuo Yuwen can take her own life openly and openly, and as for that Cheng Zhi, she may even take advantage of herself.Lin Jingxian has not forgotten that Cheng knows that this person still has a thief's heart for himself n130418:
