Chapter 114: All the ministers have come to send money!
"Yeah, it's not bad! I've got a good harvest today and continue tomorrow!"
Li Chengfeng laughed happily.
Because he can collect about 100,000 yuan in taxes today, he can also get about 40% of his income.
That's 40,000 gold.
A reward of 40,000 yuan for one day is already considered the highest-paid profession in the world, right?
Even many ministers in the palace had no 40,000 gold after joining their entire lives.
Many ministers use their official power to open teahouses and taverns among the people to earn extra money.
Otherwise, their salary would not be enough for them to support the whole family.
What's more, there are some servants who need to be raised by their servants!
"Well... Naughty value has made a lot of money now! So what should I do next to make it meaningful?"
"Go to do business?"
"Forget it, now in the year of severe drought among the people, there is no business to do. It would be better if you don't lose money!"
"I'd better take back all the taxes owed by the ministers first! I'll go to Chang'an City to do business when the Tang Dynasty's natural disasters pass!"
Li Chengfeng muttered quietly, making plans for his future.
After all, Li Chengfeng, who was a scientific research genius in his previous life, also had a super powerful business acumen.
Who doesn't like money?
Moreover, you can’t just leave your spare money.
It is easy to wear and tear when placed, and is easily stolen.
But if you use it to invest and start a business, it means that money makes money. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
...
As night comes, Li Chengfeng falls asleep with a beautiful mood.
The next morning, when Li Chengfeng just woke up, he heard Eunuch Wu outside the door shouting, "It's amazing, the Eighth Prince, it's amazing!"
"What's the matter? This is the Prince's Mansion? What's the big deal? Can't you be calmer?"
Li Chengfeng gave Eunuch Wu a blank look.
This Eunuch Wu will make a noise if you have a little bit of trouble.
If it weren't for the meticulous care of Eunuch Wu, Li Chengfeng would have kicked up.
"It's early in the morning, why are you making a noise?"
Eunuch Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Eighth Prince, this is the case. Outside the door, many ministers from the court were standing outside the door of the town palace. I wonder what they were going to do?"
"Many ministers? Standing outside the door of the palace of my town? What do they want to do? What dare they do? Humph, wait for this prince to go and see it in person!"
Li Chengfeng felt strange. Before Wei Zheng came this morning, why did many ministers come?
What did they do when they came to the gate of their town palace?
When Li Chengfeng pushed the door open, it turned out that as Eunuch Wu said before, dozens of ministers in the court lined up at Li Chengfeng's doorstep.
Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Li Chengfeng roundly.
Li Chengfeng was shocked and got goosebumps and said, "Hey, why are you surrounding the gate of my town palace? Do you want to rebel?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood by the Eighth Prince. They are actually here to pay taxes!"
Old man Wei Zheng came to Li Chengfeng with a smile and said to Li Chengfeng's ear: "Eighth Prince, after we collected taxes yesterday, all the ministers in the court were afraid! So early this morning, they prepared their previous tax evasion and came to the town palace to make up for taxes!"
"But the old minister knew that the eighth prince had the habit of sleeping and sleeping full, otherwise he would be angry! So the old minister guarded the gate of the town palace and asked them to wait for you to wake up! Haha!"
Wei Zheng's flattery is very good.
Li Chengfeng didn't expect that Wei Zheng would think so for his own sake?
Don’t even dare to disturb your dreams?
Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Duke Zheng, I'm lucky you've suffered!"
This thank you is worth it!
However, Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Unfortunate and misfortune are suffering. The old minister only asks. Eighth Prince, you can say a few more good things to yourself in front of the emperor in the future! Old minister, there is nothing else to ask for!"
"Okay, Wei Zheng, don't worry, only if you don't mess with me in the future, this prince will definitely say good things to you in front of your father!"
"Yes, yes, how dare the old minister provoke the eighth prince! Then, in the future, please take care of the old minister more! After all, the old minister is old, and his body is getting worse day by day!"
Wei Zheng knew that he was old and no longer had the fighting spirit he had when he was young.
And today's Tang Dynasty is a generation that has risen behind the royal family.
If Wei Zheng wants to stay in the palace like a fish in water, he still needs to find a royal backer.
As for the prince Li Chengqian, he couldn't curry favor with him. Prince Li Tai, Li Zhi and others just studied every day. In the end, Wei Zheng thought about it over and over again, but he still thought that the eighth prince Li Chengfeng was more reliable.
Although the Eighth Prince used to bully him, Wei Zheng could see that the Eighth Prince was a wise person. As long as he was good to him, he would definitely be good to him.
As long as you gain the trust of the Eighth Prince and become the friend of the Eighth Prince, then when you get old, the Eighth Prince will not let others bully him!
Looking at the ministers outside the door, each holding a big box in his hand.
Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Are these taxes you missed before?"
"Report to the Eighth Prince, yes!"
"The taxes that the old ministers missed have been recorded by Duke Zheng. Please ask the Eighth Prince to observe carefully! If the old minister pays a penny of tax, the old minister is willing to receive the punishment!"
"Well, okay, that prince will believe you once today!"
Li Chengfeng took Wei Zheng's small notebook and saw that there were dozens of ministers' names written on it, and they had already paid taxes.
The few hundred golds are less, and the more is 20,000 golds.
Not bad.
Li Chengfeng calculated carefully and found that the taxes combined would cost at least about 300,000 yuan!
So much gold?
If all of them were sent to the victims, I believe this year's natural disaster will pass safely.
And the reason why they have so much money is because of their accumulated taxes over the years.
Otherwise, the tax payments of these ministers to the Tang Dynasty for one year would be about 100,000 gold.
And these 300,000 golds are the money they owe for ten years. To a greater or lesser extent, not every minister evades taxes, so there is so much money added together!
As soon as Li Chengfeng came to his feet, these ministers knew that they could not escape tax evasion.
At this time, the eighth prince took the initiative to come to them to ask for guilt, but it would be better for them to take the blame on themselves.
In this way, you can still win the title of openness!
"Eighth Prince, we have already made up all tax evasions. Please let me explain clearly to the emperor after you go back, and I hope he won't get angry!"
Chapter completed!
