Chapter 395: The right to behead first and then to make a statement, the royal power charter
Wang Sanshan did not give in at all, and looked at Wei Guangwei and said, "The implementation of the new commercial tax is an act that the emperor has issued. The emperor's intention is better than the officials. Now that the King of Jin and a group of powerful slaves killed the official officers who collected commercial taxes by us, they are already rebelling. The official killed them to the precepts of the court. Since the elder of the cabinet has come, he will angrily denounce the King of Jin for such rebellion!"
"You are talking nonsense! I have never killed officials without any means. I only saw you, Wang Sanshan and others killing innocent people on the streets and were unable to do anything. I just came forward to persuade them. The merchants and people on the street outside Chongwenmen can be proved!"
As he spoke, King Zhu Cungui of Jin turned around and asked the merchants behind him loudly: "People! Tell the Pavilion Master, is this true? Are these officials who collect business taxes killing innocent people and bullying the weak?!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
All the merchants behind them agreed.
Zhu Cungui asked Wang Sanshan, therefore: "Wangdutang, you, the high-ranking official who is the right censor, is the governor of the West Factory, should not be deaf. Have you heard the words of the people on the street clearly? You scholars and officials are loyal to the emperor and love the people, and even put the people first, and the country is second, or even the king? Why are you pretending to not hear the voices of these people now?"
"They are not people, they are all thieves you motivated!"
Wang Sanshan said, "I am too lazy to talk to you. I only know that if you let you do this, the commercial tax will not be implemented! The imperial court's decrees will be useless!"
As he said that, Wang Sanshan shouted loudly to He Shixian: "No one left! Kill all these traitors! Including His Highness the King of Jin!"
"Slow down!"
Wei Guangwei shouted again, and then shouted at Wang Sanshan: "Wangdutang, in the opinion of the servant, even if they are rebelling, you must first go to the palace to report the emperor and take the order before talking about it. How can you kill it directly! Aren't you afraid of being accused of harming the prince of the clan and slaughtering the people? You think this is leading troops to fight, just keep your fists hard or not, regardless of the world's affairs? You are not reforming, you are disrupting the world!"
Wang Sanshan looked at Wei Guangwei: "The West Factory has the right to take action first and then report, and the imperial power is granted!"
"What if you kill first and then report? Isn't you afraid that the people in the world will swear to levy your taxes and take your life into vain, ruin your reputation and leave it for thousands of years, and even make your Wang family unable to raise your head? Don't forget that these merchant families also have scholars like you and me, and their pens have more than your swords! You, Wang Sanshan, can rely on imperial power to kill decisively, but your Wang clan will be unable to raise your head because of you in your hometown. Do you know?"
Wei Guangwei whispered.
Wang Sanshan clenched his fists and said helplessly: "But Master, you should remember that Your Majesty promises that the new commercial tax collection amount exceeds half of the agricultural tax, and that the labor service will be exempted from labor service forever! It can be seen that once the new commercial tax collection is successful, it will benefit the farmers in the world! If Wang cannot make things happen, wouldn't he be worthy of his life's ambitions and farmers in the world?!"
"That can't be you who offends the merchants all over the world!"
Wei Guangwei reminded again.
After hearing this, Wang Sanshan thought to himself that it was indeed inappropriate for him to make a move, so he had to turn his horse's head and shout loudly: "Remove it! Report this matter first, please make the emperor decide!"
Wei Guangwei also left in a sedan chair.
King Zhu Cungui of Jin smiled proudly, then turned around and shouted to the merchants: "It's all gone!"
These merchants bowed farewell to the King of Jin in admiration.
But after all these merchants retreated, Zhu Cungui still put away his smile.
In fact, he was not very confident about his attitude when he was against the official who collected the business tax. He was not sure what his Majesty the Emperor had and whether he would deal with him, the prince who caused trouble, was the elder of the royal family.
When Zhu Cungui thought that his land in his fiefdom had been taken back by the emperor, and now if he was taken away more commercial taxes by the emperor, he felt that he would not resist so much and was unwilling to accept it.
You should know that the property of the Jin Prince Mansion in Jin was not inferior to that of the great Jin merchants back then.
What's more, because the northern part of the cold climate has caused insufficient agricultural output, their royal palaces have long focused on doing business, otherwise they would not have easily allowed the fiefs to be redeemed by the court. However, once the court successfully collects new commercial taxes, they will have to pay a large amount of commercial profit every year, which is indeed unacceptable for Zhu Cungui.
Zhu Cungui sometimes wonders how Zhu Youxiao takes away my money, why? Just because he is the emperor? Then what is the point of supporting this emperor!
"I actually sealed my Pinxiang Building directly and killed more than a dozen of my servants! This court is really too bullying! Isn't it enough to let us pay enough food and pay the same food as the common people?! I'm going to collect more money for a business. Damn, when will we plunder us?"
Cheng'an Bo Guo Yongzuo had already rushed to Chongwen Gate after hearing the news. When he saw the seal at the gate of Pinxiang Tower, he saw that there were no people around him, so he gritted his teeth and vented loudly.
Zhu Cungui happened to come over at this time: "Who knows when they are going to come to my gambling house to collect taxes. Because they were beaten by the righteous people, they slaughtered dozens of righteous people and even wanted to kill them. He said that I was a traitor. Fortunately, Master Wei arrived in time and persuaded them to go back! But they would definitely not give up. No one with industries in Chongwenmen will escape. Killing servants is a waste of time. Next, I am afraid that our lives will be lost. Now that we are like this, it is better to go to Damingyuan to see Your Majesty and let Your Majesty know how their Western Factory slaughtered innocent people in the name of collecting new commercial taxes, and robbed innocent people and levyed them in a difficult manner!"
"Your Highness, King of Jin!"
Guo Yongzuo bowed to Zhu Cungui, thinking that fortunately he was not from Dongchang. He had lost his composure just now and didn't pay attention to Dongchang's eyes and ears. He could not do this next time, and then replied: "But do this, will your majesty be angry? After all, the power of heaven is unpredictable!"
"The following officials' opinions are not difficult to predict!"
At this time, Zhang Xuan changed into an official uniform. Originally, he wanted to find a civil servant who implemented commercial tax collection here to argue, but unexpectedly, he met the royal family King Jin and the noble Prince Cheng Anbo here to talk about things, so he came and said something.
King Zhu Cungui and Guo Yongzuo both saw this and asked, "Dare you asking?"
"Zhang Xuan, a bachelor of Hanlin, a junior official."
Zhang Xuan replied.
King Zhu Cungui and Guo Yongzuo surrendered.
Zhu Cungui asked in a low voice this time: "You just said that the power of heaven is not difficult to predict?"
"That's right! This new commercial tax reform takes advantage of the businessmen in the world. Those who are the businessmen in the world must be the businessmen and gentry in the world, as well as the powerful and powerful families. Before, Your Majesty relied on these people to change the food and tax policies of the gentry in the country. Now Your Majesty wants to rely on the civilian gentry to mobilize the business interests of the businessmen in the world and the powerful families. But today, the business interests have long exceeded the agricultural profits. I believe Your Majesty also knows that this change of commercial tax can be ten times more difficult than the agricultural tax to change of agricultural taxes.
! The powerful tribes in the world were not passive to the fundamentals. In order to avoid angering the court, most of them could accept it. However, the increase in commercial taxes was to be fundamentally affected. Therefore, Your Majesty was not very unsure. Instead, he wanted Yuan Keli, the civilian gentry who did not hesitate to offend the powerful tribes in the world for his personal achievements, otherwise, the King of Jin and other officials who organized the Western Factory in advance to ambush the taxes and other officials who had already been known by the East Factory!"
Zhang Xuan said.
Zhu Cungui blushed and argued: "Nonsense! I have never organized it? Everything is spontaneously done by merchants and immigrants!"
Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Why do you have to lie? Do you think you can hide it from the East Factory? This is the capital! Now that your Highness can do this successfully, it only means that Your Majesty did not let the people from the East Factory take action, and he wanted Yuan Keli and his group to cause this trouble. If it can be successful, it will naturally be good. If it cannot be successful, it will naturally be the fault of Yuan Keli and others! At present, as long as we are tough enough to prevent Yuan Keli and others from succeeding, Your Majesty will give up the collection of new commercial taxes and will not be furious because of this, and will not protect Yuan Keli to protect Fang Congzhe as before. After all, Your Majesty already has a lot of treasury investments now, so there is no need to fight with the people of the world to the death!"
"It makes sense! Then let's go to Damingyuan together, ask your Majesty to sue him for Yuan Keli's lawsuit! I will mobilize a few more royal family members."
Zhu Cungui Road.
"Then I will mobilize a few nobles, their industries are not smaller than me! I don't believe it. They are so willing to pay so much commercial tax to the court every year!"
Guo Yongzuo said.
Zhang Xuan also wanted to give eye drops to the people of the West Factory in this matter because the military officer at the West Factory lost his face in the morning, so he also said: "The subordinates also mobilized several colleagues to go with the ministers!"
