Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 599
"Master Wang, let's talk first?" Zhang Tianlu said gloatingly.

"The old man is ashamed to be with you!" Wang Yuangu said angrily, thinking that it seems that he really didn't read the almanac when he went out today, and he could meet this group of black sheep here.

After saying that, Wang Yuangu coughed and walked to the stone platform on the other side of the door to sit down.

The four servants and Du Yushi, all with an average age of over forty, squatted at the door of Liu Hongjian's house like migrant workers, and the servants who passed by all looked at them like monkeys.

Zhang Tianlu and the others were used to it, but Wang Yuangu felt even more annoyed, thinking that even if he went to the Shoufu's house, he would serve him with good tea and water.

What is squatting here now?Like a peasant who takes jobs, this Prince An is really unreasonable!

In fact, Liu Hongjian cannot be blamed for this. There is only such a large area on the top of Xishan Mountain, but his family, Chongzhen's family, and a "senior engineer" from the Ordnance Institute live there.

Most of the courtyards are built as small courtyards, so there is no room for outsiders.

Since Zhang Weixian, Duke of the United Kingdom, Mu Tianbo, Duke of Qian, and Liu Kongzhao, the Chengyi Bo, have become shareholders, there is no need for Liu Hongjian to worry about the Xishan Workshop.

After all, these three families have basically been in business for generations, and Liu Hongjian is definitely not as good as them in terms of earning money.

And Zhang Weixian and the others did not disappoint Liu Hongjian. In just over half a year, the industries of Xishan Commercial Co., Ltd. had spread across the north and south.

Relying on outstanding quality, as well as the business philosophy of what others have and what others have, and the fact that the three of them are all nobles from the imperial court, they can get twice the result with half the effort.

Shuntianfu, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi... The shops of Xishan Shanghe opened up one after another like mushrooms after rain, and the money flowed in and out continuously, and finally fell into Liu Hongjian's pocket.

"Oh—Xiao Jiu, what time is it?" Liu Hongjian turned over and yawned, and asked Kun Xing who was already dressed at the table.

With a high position and low responsibility, more money and less work, he is close to home. The past half month has been the happiest time since Liu Hongjian came to Daming.

After sleeping late and eating lunch during the day, Jin Yiwei's subordinates came to report all kinds of anecdotes and miscellaneous news in the capital and even in the Ming Dynasty.

Then I went to the ordnance station halfway up the mountain to say hello to Uncle Chongzhen, who was devoted to scientific research, and went down the mountain to take a stroll in the Xishan Workshop, which was really leisurely.

"Husband, you're finally awake. It's already 16:[-]. Someone outside seems to want to see you." Kun Xing was sitting at the table and doing makeup in front of the mirror. She was just a [-]-year-old girl. Still comely mess.

"Oh, let them wait, come over and help your husband change clothes." Liu Hongjian got up and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.

……

"It's simply unreasonable! The prince is really too much, what time is this, as important ministers of the country, how can we waste precious time here?"

The few people outside the courtyard waited and waited for no one to come out to summon them, and they were impatient. Chen Taiying, the younger deputy capital censor of the Inspectorate, couldn't help complaining.

At this moment, Liu Hongjian, who had been washed and put on a python suit, came out.

"Who is talking about me outside?" Liu Hongjian smiled slightly and cupped his hands towards Zhang Tianlu, Wang Yuangu and others.

"The servant of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Tianlu, pays a visit to the prince!"

"Wang Yuangu, the servant of the punishment department, has met the prince!"

……

Seeing that the righteous master finally came out after a thousand calls, several people hurriedly got up to salute.

"Hey, why do you gentlemen have time to come to my king's place? Could it be that the court has been so free?" Liu Hongjian said while leading several people to the specially built reception room at the back of the courtyard.

After everyone sat down, Liu Hongjian didn't say a word. Looking at the eyes of these people, he knew that it must be because of the uproar of the past few days.

Jin Yiwei informed him of this matter a few days ago, wasn't it just because of some trivial matter?Why did he tear his face apart?
Zhang Tianlu got up first and explained to Liu Hongjian the reason for their visit this time. After speaking, he did not forget to give Wang Yuangu a glance, but Wang Yuangu coughed and ignored him.

This is a disagreement, and I came to complain to the king, Liu Hongjian thought to himself.

Sometimes he finds it funny that they are all officials of the imperial court who have read poetry and books and have been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for many years, but their way of doing things is not as good as that of street vendors.

"I don't care about the differences between you, since the emperor ordered you to collect commercial taxes, why hasn't even a regulation been finalized after half a month?" Liu Hongjian asked.

Liu Hongjian was not at all interested in the contest between the old officials of the Eastern Palace and the old officials of the court. Dogs bite dogs. These guys are all smarter than him. people.

The collection of commercial taxes was Zhu Cihong's first decree after assuming the throne, and Liu Hongjian felt that the time was ripe to improve the fundamental financial problems of the Ming Dynasty.

Whether it is an old minister of the Eastern Palace or a senior minister of the court, a black cat and a white cat who catch the old book are good cats. He doesn't care whether these people are right or wrong.

To have trouble with the people of the world is to have trouble with the king of Anguo County, if you make me unhappy alone, this king will make your family unhappy.

"Returning to the lord, I naturally don't have any opinion on levying commercial taxes to benefit the country and the people." Zhang Tianlu took the lead in expressing his opinion, and Cheng Zhi and Chen Taiying also hurriedly agreed.

"The lower officials have no objection to the collection of commercial taxes." Wang Yuangu frowned, then said.

Although several brothers in his old family have done well in business under his name, the collection of commercial tax will inevitably cause them some losses, but Wang Yuangu is very clear about right and wrong.

"Since that's the case, then when you go back, you should quickly draw up the business and tax regulations so that you can solve the emperor's worries and problems. Now it's so early in the morning, what are you doing here to find me?" Liu Hongjian asked.

"Returning to the lord, business and tax matters are of great importance. The officials think that since the lord has the power of regent, he should go back to the court to arrange this matter himself." Wang Yuangu stood up and cupped his hands.

Although Wang Yuangu was afraid of the power in Liu Hongjian's hands, the current situation cannot be resolved by him. The emperor is still too young...

"Absurd! There is an emperor in the court, and there is a cabinet below. If you don't go to the cabinet elders to discuss it, what are you going to do with this king? Wouldn't it be a violation of the court rules?" Liu Hongjian said. unwholesome way.

"But you are the Supreme Emperor, the regent appointed by the emperor, how can you turn a blind eye to such an important event in the country?" Wang Yuangu was anxious, thinking that if the cabinet can be settled, why would it be worthwhile to come all the way to find you?

"Who said that the regent must be the regent?"

　Thank you book friends for the 100 coins rewarded every day for looking at the ax and charging the lamp while drunk.
