Li Chengfeng had a sly smile on his face and said: "Wei Zheng, this prince remembers that you have a clothing workshop on Chang'an Avenue. The annual turnover is about 3,000 gold, right?"

"What? Eighth Prince, how did you know about this?"

"Ding, the shock from Wei Zheng, the naughty value is 50!"

At this moment, Wei Zheng felt a headache all over.

In order to avoid taxes, Wei Zheng personally put the garment workshop in his nephew's name. However, all the money earned by the garment workshop went into Wei Zheng's pocket.

Not even the emperor knew about this matter, but how could the eighth prince know?

Li Chengfeng said: "How do I know? Don't ask any more questions! But that's the fact. You have also evaded taxes! And I also know that your garment workshop has been open for about ten years! According to Datang Taxation

With a tax ratio of 3 points, you need to pay an average of 1,000 gold in taxes every year, so Wei Zheng, you owe Datang a total of 10,000 gold in taxes, so please pay, Duke Zheng!"

"This, this, this..."

After Wei Zheng listened, his hands began to tremble.

He really didn't expect that the Eighth Prince could even calculate the annual turnover amount of his own clothing workshop clearly?

Li Chengfeng continued: "What's wrong, Mr. Zheng Guo, do you still want to evade taxes? At this critical juncture, when the people are struggling to survive, you are still thinking about making money? Do you want me to tell you about this matter?"

My father, do you want him to take over your garment factory?"

"No, I don't dare. I will make up for the tax evasion in the past ten years according to your instructions! I will go home and get the money now!"

"Well, okay, go quickly, I'll wait for you here!"

After saying that, Li Chengfeng crossed his legs, sat on the table and chair next to him, and said, "Eunuch Wu, I'm hungry, go get something to eat!"

"Okay, Eighth Prince, I'll prepare it for you right now!"

…

After Li Chengfeng had breakfast, Wei Zheng ordered two servants to carry a large box to the Zhenwang Mansion.

Wei Zheng hurriedly came to Li Chengfeng and said: "Eighth Prince, I have made up all the tax evasion in the past ten years! Eighth Prince, don't you want to count the total 10,000 gold?"

Li Chengfeng opened the big box and took a look, my dear, the box was full of gold nuggets, a total of ten thousand gold.

This old man Wei Zheng seems to have made a lot of money over the years, right?

However, Wei Zheng earned money through the clothing workshop he opened, so he earned it through formal channels.

This old man Wei Zheng felt a twinge of pain when he lost 900 gold to me last time. So he is actually so rich?

"Just count it and use it. I believe Zheng Guogong will definitely play a leading role! Eunuch Wu, accept the money for me!"

"Yes, the Eighth Prince!"

Soon, Eunuch Wu accepted the ten thousand gold gift from Wei Zheng.

Li Chengfeng and Wei Zheng walked out of the gate of the Zhenwang Mansion and went to find other ministers to collect taxes.

Li Chengfeng gave Wei Zheng a small notebook and a watercolor pen, and said: "Zheng Guogong, wait a minute, write down the name of the person who paid the tax, and the amount! And also indicate where these taxes came from.

Come! Do you know?"

"Okay, Eighth Prince, I know what to do!"

Wei Zheng followed Li Chengfeng's words and began to write in a small notebook.

I saw that he wrote on it: Wei Zheng: Chang'an City Garment Factory, 10,000 gold in back taxes!

After finishing writing, Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face.

Li Chengfeng put his hands behind his back and said: "Mr. Zheng Guo, Gong Guo Zheng, the current national crisis is facing us, but you are still evading taxes? How shameful!"

Wei Zheng's face turned red and he said: "This is my mistake. I know my mistake. I will pay the tax every year in the future!"

"Well, my father will give you the opportunity to open a factory and start a business, so your taxes must be paid!"

"Yes, yes, what the Eighth Prince said makes sense!"

"Also, now the people are suffering from severe drought and starvation, so it is not excessive for you to donate more money! What's more, my father just asked you to make up for the taxes you didn't pay before!"

"Yes, what the Eighth Prince said makes sense, I know I was wrong!"

"Well, if you know you've made a mistake, you can correct it. There's no such thing as a good thing!"

Li Chengfeng was like a little adult, actually educating Wei Zheng along the way.

Wei Zheng could only nod his head and dare not say anything.

After all, it was he who was at fault in the first place!

…

When Li Shimin asked Li Chengfeng to collect taxes, he did not notify the important officials in advance.

Because Li Shimin knew that those ministers were very smart.

If it were told in advance that they had revised all the bills in their account books, there would be no way to verify it!

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng turned to look at Wei Zheng and said, "Mr. Zheng Guogong, there should be many friends around you who, like you, have opened many agricultural factories among the people, right?"

"This, yes, as the Eighth Prince said, there are also the iron mines of Lu Guogong's family, the pastures of Zhao Guogong's family, etc. Although they pay taxes every year, they will report less taxes, which means they secretly evade taxes.

!”

"Well, okay, let's go to Duke Lu's house first!"

"Okay, Eighth Prince!"

At this moment, Wei Zheng can be said to be on the same team as Li Chengfeng.

And Wei Zheng, who had paid 10,000 yuan in back taxes, was walking like a tiger, with an aboveboard attitude.

Huh, I no longer owe taxes, so I can live openly from now on and no longer need to sneak to the garment factory in Chang'an City!

…

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng and Wei Zheng came to the home of Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin.

"The Eighth Prince has arrived!"

When Wei Zheng shouted, the servants of Lu Gong's mansion immediately opened the door to greet him.

A big, dark, fat man walked out of Mr. Lu's mansion.

Cheng Yaojin bowed slightly to Li Chengfeng and said, "Cheng Yaojin welcomes the Eighth Prince to his humble residence!"

"Okay, okay, get up, Cheng Yaojin!"

"Yes, I have thanked the Eighth Prince!"

Cheng Yaojin raised his head and saw that Wei Zheng was also following Li Chengfeng. His brows jumped instantly, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Li Chengfeng looked at Cheng Yaojin and asked, "Mr. Lu, do you know why we came to your home this time?"

"What are you doing? I don't know this, I know! Could it be that you need some help from me?"

"That's wrong, we are here to collect taxes from you!"

Li Chengfeng smiled lightly.

Cheng Yaojin's expression suddenly changed, and he said: "Isn't it right, the Eighth Prince? Collecting taxes? I will hand over 1,000 gold in taxes to the emperor every year. Veteran, there is no tax evasion? Why do you still come to me to pay taxes?"

"You will hand it over, but no one knows whether it is too much or too little! But I know that you, Lord Lu, control an iron mine in the south city of Chang'an, and you can get it every year.
