Chapter 2065: explain
Chapter 2065 explained
The higher the price of the seller, the more broken silver the imperial court can receive.
"What do you love?" Emperor Xuanming sat on the dragon chair and asked with a half-smile.
"I believe that this unhealthy atmosphere should indeed be restrained." The old man Zhong Ge stood up.
Chu Heng naturally wouldn't pretend he didn't participate in anything at this time, it's not easy to be wise and protect himself at this time.
"I also feel that the laws in this area should be regulated. After all, the frontier soldiers are all leading the way for the people of the world. It is impossible for someone in the front to work hard for our safety while everyone in the rear takes advantage. It is said that Deng Taifu recently bought a shop. With four facades, and a fourth into the courtyard, five achievements will cost three hundred taels, so much money, if you want me to say, Mr. Deng, you shouldn’t accept it. Everyone gets three or four hundred taels. If things go on like this, the treasury will lose money. It’s more than three to four hundred thousand taels.”
Taifu Deng originally felt that something was wrong when Emperor Xuanming suddenly brought up this matter.
He was about to act as if he didn't know anything and was fishing in troubled waters. It was best not to express his position in the court, otherwise he would not only offend Chu Heng.
In the end, Chu Heng was so courageous that he directly told his story to the public.
In an instant, it became an introduction, and a fire was ignited in the hearts of the officials who were still a little dissatisfied just now.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die." Taifu Deng also reacted quickly, and knelt down immediately.
Even though he has figured out that he was used by Chu Heng this time, he can only swallow this bitter fruit.
Because this is what Emperor Xuanming meant, and Emperor Xuanming obviously wanted him to be the guiding stone.
Emperor Xuanming was like a benevolent elder: "Why is the Tai Tuo doing this, knowing the mistakes can make a big difference."
Taifu Deng's mouth became more and more bitter, but he had to nod: "Thank you, the emperor, for giving this veteran a chance to reform."
As he spoke, he was called out.
Taifu Deng walked to the side, but he didn't want to talk anymore.
There are other officials in the court who disagree with this point of view very much, and they argue with Mr. Zhong Ge and others.
Most of these people were born in the gentry.
You must know that some gentry are like local emperors, and their wealth is even more impressive.
Without mentioning the accumulation of a hundred years, it is very common to say that they can use the chamber of commerce to control the price of some purchases.
Now that this order comes down, isn’t it cutting their flesh.
The cost is high, and the business tax is still high. These aristocratic families see that they are making a lot of money. Because of this, if the quantity is large, every penny can be multiplied, which is not a small amount.
There was no conclusion in the morning.
But Emperor Xuanming's mood was visibly bad.
So much so that after the morning court, these officials didn't have any smiles on their faces.
One by one, they saw Chu Heng, who had been quite apprehensive in the beginning, but now he just threw up his sleeves and left.
To Taifu Deng, I originally wanted to get along well, but after this happened, there was a gap in my heart.
"Master Deng, you have made us all miserable." Some officials who used to be acquainted with Mrs. Deng complained directly without talking about those falsehoods.
Taifu Deng was even more aggrieved, but he still had to explain with a wooden face: "I was also tricked by Chu Heng, this time I am sorry for you."
Taifu Deng arched his hands and said.
"Is it true that Chu Heng went to the palace to sue you?" A friend asked curiously.
For someone like Chu Heng, who worked for the emperor and harmed the interests of many aristocratic families, many officials from noble families did not have a good impression of him.
