Chapter 788 Taking advantage of the loophole?

When Yunzheng found Ye Zi, Ye Zi was sitting in the pavilion with a swollen belly and a heavy look on his face.

Seeing Ye Zi's appearance, Yun Zheng felt angry. He immediately quickened his pace and came to sit next to Ye Zi. He hugged Ye Zi's temporarily bloated waist and said, "Which bastard is causing trouble for me? Look at it." My beloved concubine is so worried!"

While speaking, Yunzheng also squeezed Ye Zi's waist gently.

"Stop it!"

Ye Zi patted Yun Zheng's hand gently, then handed the letter in his hand to Yun Zheng, frowning and saying: "Wait until you finish reading this, and see if you still want to make trouble."

Yun Zheng's "Faint King Attribute" exploded. He did not rush to read the letter handed over by Ye Zi. Instead, he held Ye Zi's face and said disapprovingly: "Even if the sky falls, I will still be able to hold it up. Don't worry. Smile."

Ye Zi opened her mouth slightly and made a gesture of biting Yun Zheng's hand. When Yun Zheng refused to hide, she could only force out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"alright, alright!"

Yunzheng pinched Ye Zi's cheek and said, "Don't worry."

With that said, Yunzheng removed his palm from Ye Zi's face, picked up the letter and read it.

This is a letter from Tuo Huan.

As the news spread in Fuzhou, many wealthy families in Fuzhou sold their fields to those who had no or little land at extremely low prices.

There is even a situation where one acre of land is sold for only one copper plate!

But they drew up a covenant when they sold the land.

Although these lands were sold to those who had no land, because the price was too low, after the crops in the land were harvested, those who bought the land had to give 40 to 60% of the grain to the people who sold the land.

In this way, the interests of those who sold their land were not harmed too much, and some were even able to pay less tax by relying on this trick.

And those who buy land are mostly honest people.

These people were illiterate and their minds were not that flexible. Seeing such a good thing, many of them signed the contract without hesitation.

Moreover, according to the new tax system, a family of five, as long as they own less than ten acres of land, can actually pay less tax than before.

In this way, even if someone understands the twists and turns, in this case, they are still willing to buy those lands, and they will not lose money anyway.

In the end, the tax was passed on to the common people.

Tuo Huan wanted to issue an emergency order to prohibit the transfer of land in various places in Fuzhou, and Zongzheng in various places did not register the land between buyers and sellers.

But even so, many people still sold their land.

Reading the contents of the letter, Yun Zheng was so angry that he laughed.

His grandma’s!

No wonder Ye Zi is so worried.

These bastards are really good at taking advantage of loopholes!

They have thought of this method!

Isn't this equivalent to turning those who have no or little land into their tenants?

The key is that when their land is sold, in name, the land belongs to those who bought the land, and taxes cannot be collected from them at all.

Moreover, they are legal and compliant.

It is said that this method was first spread from the Su family in Juping, and now people in many places are rushing to imitate it.

By selling land at low prices to the landless and landless people, the Juping Su family also gained a lot of fame. Many people who did not know the truth praised the Juping Su family for their benevolence and righteousness.

"You're so careless!"

Yunzheng patted his head, "Why did I forget to prohibit land transfer?"

If land transfers were prohibited during the period of promoting land allocation, these bastards would not be given the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes.

It's too late to ban land transfers now.

Many large households have already transferred their land.

Ye Zi gently rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile: "Even if you ban the transfer of land, these people will come up with other ways to pay less taxes."

"Yes! In order to pay less taxes, these people can think of any way."

Yun Zheng touched his chin, "We have to find a way to defeat their tricks! If they continue like this, this business of sharing a family's life will be a complete failure!"

"I have been thinking about a solution for a long time, but I have never thought of a solution." Ye Zi said with a headache: "Even if we cancel the shareholding and maintain the original tax system, it will not have much impact on those who sell their land in large quantities."

Those lands are said to be sold, but in essence, the people who bought the land have become their tenants, and the rent they should collect is also the same!

In this matter, they were able to make both advances and retreats!

Even Ye Zi had to admire the intelligence of these people.

If all these people had put their thoughts into running the country or marching and fighting, it is estimated that the Qian Dynasty would have defeated Beihuan long ago!

"It seems that the Juping Su family is determined to cause trouble for me!"

A cold light flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes, "I gave them a chance, but they still insist on forcing me to operate on them!"

Ye Zi was shocked and frowned: "You're not going to kill the Su family, are you?"

If Yun Zheng really had this idea, Ye Zi would definitely oppose it.

If Yun Zheng wants to destroy a mere Su family, it is very simple. Yu Shizhong can directly lead a thousand cavalry and kill the Su family without leaving any trace.

But the key is, you can’t do this!

Although it is abhorrent for Su to do this, they are completely within the provisions of the law.

If Yunzheng directly used force to suppress the Su family, it would be almost inevitable to trigger a popular uprising.

"Don't worry, my husband is a reasonable man!"

Yun Zheng knew Ye Zi's worries, so he took her catkins and put them in his hands, and said with a wicked smile: "As long as they don't fight with force, I will not use force! If they want to use tricks, I will follow them." Play some tricks!”

After confirming that Yun Zheng had no intention of using force, Ye Zi finally relaxed and tilted his head and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Yun Zheng did not rush to tell Ye Zi, but shouted: "Here, let Shen Kuan come over immediately!"

While waiting for Shen Kuan to come over, Yun Zheng told Ye Zi his plan.

After hearing Yunzheng's plan, Ye Zi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"You are trying to push the Juping Su family to a dead end!"

Ye Zi's eyes flickered, and she felt some sympathy for Su.

Ju Ping Su family!

It’s not good to offend anyone. Why do you offend this living king of hell?

If the Su family took the lead in accepting the tenants as their mother, Yunzheng would still give them a credit.

However, Su is now taking the lead in exploiting loopholes to fight against the new tax system.

Doesn't this force Yun Zheng to use the knife on them?

How many people have been tricked by Yun Zheng to the point of crying for father and mother, and they still want to trick Yun Zheng?

If Yun Zheng's plan succeeds, the Su family of Juping will disappear directly, but in all likelihood they will go bankrupt!

Yun Zheng smiled faintly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "I gave them a chance. If they don't cherish it, then they can't blame me!"

Just in time, I need to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!

Let Juping Su be the chicken!

Not long after, Shen Kuan hurried over.

"Send someone to look for Hou Shikai. Once found, ask him to come to Sifang County immediately!"

Yunzheng ordered.

"what?"

Shen Kuan was slightly stunned, and asked like an iron fool: "Your Highness, who is Hou Shikai?"

"I……"

Yunzheng was speechless.

Ye Zi was amused by Shen Kuan's question and reminded: "It's the big grain merchant in Muzhou! At this time, he should be around Mayi! If he is not in Mayi, send someone to ask Pang Lushan, he should know that Hou Shikai whereabouts!"

"Yes!"

Shen Kuan realized what he was doing and quickly went to do what Yun Zheng told him...
