My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 30
"What a loving father and filial son!" Xu Jingchang looked at Zhu Neng chasing Zhu Yong with interest, with his hands behind his back.The corners of Xia Yuanji's mouth twitched. He just started to collect taxes, and the first one hit him with Cheng Guogong's son.

Who knows how many dignitaries are behind?
I really lost my head to make such a suggestion. I don't want to die well in my life, as long as it doesn't harm my children and grandchildren.

"Xu Tongzheng, hurry up and think of a way. If Cheng Guogong changes his mind, I see how you are in a dilemma? I think you are going to be in a dilemma!"

Xu Jingchang said nonchalantly: "The sky is falling, and I won't be delayed from watching the show. You see, it's a general who can run faster than a rabbit."

Indeed, Zhu Yong let go of his two swift legs, and they were all smoking.

But he couldn't run on two legs, Zhu Neng gradually caught up, first threw out the whip in his hand, and threw it heavily on Zhu Yong's back, the little guy staggered, Zhu Neng immediately reached out and grabbed Zhu Yong. Yong's neck, lifted him up, and pressed him on the horse's back.

"Excellent kung fu, a real tiger general!"

Xu Jingchang clapped his hands vigorously and applauded loudly.The others present looked at each other helplessly.

At this time, Zhu Nengfei turned his horse around, carried his son, and jumped off the horse in front of Xu Jingchang.

"Xu Tongzheng, how do we deal with this matter?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "It's okay, just pay taxes according to the rules. The new policy has just been tried out, and I won't do anything to kill chickens and monkeys, knock mountains and shake tigers. By the way, this is Shaoguogong, right? Can you tell me how it is?" The one who helped escort the silk, is this purchased by your family?"

Zhu Yong was panting, and when he was still in panic, Zhu Neng raised his big fist and slammed it on his shoulder, "Say!"

Zhu Yong can only tell the truth. The one who bought this batch of silk was the son-in-law of Zhu Neng’s housekeeper. He asked Zhu Yong for help, that is, he wanted to use the name of Duke Shao to open up joints. The demons and ghosts on the sky are not fake.

"Father, I didn't think about anything else. I just went out for a while and got a hundred bolts of silk when I came back. It's just a honor to honor you and your mother..."

"You fart!"

Zhu Neng yelled, "You are filial piety, you think we will not die, and hope that we will go to the underworld as soon as possible so that we can leave the family fortune to you. See if I don't beat you to death!"

Zhu Neng raised his fist to hit him again, but Xu Jingchang hurriedly stopped him, "No, no, Cheng Guogong, for my sake, don't hit me. Shaoguo Gong didn't make any big mistakes. If you want me to say, his fault is that he sells too much. It's cheaper."

Xu Jingchang turned his head and said to Zhu Yong: "Listen to me, with your status, let alone escorting the goods yourself, even if you give up the name, you will have to pay half of the shares. As long as one hundred pieces of silk, it is not humiliating you. You are humiliating the Duke and your father! There are only a few hereditary Dukes in the entire Ming Dynasty? You sold it too cheaply."

Zhu Yong was dumbfounded, did I make a mistake here?

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, I can see that your son is too simple and kind. He doesn't know the sinister heart, and he doesn't know the way of business. Let him come to the General Secretary and act as a tax collector first." Account, familiarize yourself with the business, and there will be better errands in the future.”

Zhu Neng snorted, "Stupid, why don't you thank Xu Tongzheng quickly."

Zhu Yong is still a little confused. Is he an official now?

"Thank you Xu Tongzheng, thank you Xu Tongzheng."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Very well, based on the speed at which you ran away just now, you will definitely be a good hand in collecting taxes in the future. If you follow me, you will have a bright future."

It was the first time he was praised so much, Zhu Yong was still a little embarrassed, he obediently stood behind Xu Jingchang, and consciously acted as a small follower.

Xu Jingchang said to Zhu Neng again: "Mr. Cheng, the world is full of money. The people in the family must be salivating. But the so-called gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. And everything must be in your hands." Otherwise, if you let your family mess around, you will not get much benefit, but will be coerced by your subordinates, and once something happens, there will be endless troubles!"

Zhu Neng's eyes widened, his breathing was heavy, he waved his fist fiercely, and said angrily: "I know, I'll go home now, and rectify my family. If you dare to blame me, you will be punished. If you make a mistake, get out of here." Get out of my mansion!"

Xu Jingchang immediately gave a thumbs up, "Duke Cheng is strict in running his family, this is the style of hereditary family."

Zhu Neng nodded vigorously, mounted his horse in a hurry, and hurried home...

Seeing this scene, Xia Yuanji didn't want to speak anymore.

Xu Jingchang, just be a human being, not to mention cutting flesh from other people, even abducting his son, and even fooling him, attacking his own family, you are eating three things for one fish!

You can't do this to cheating people, you just bully Zhu Neng as an honest person, if it were someone else, they would have turned against you long ago.

However, Xia Yuanji was full of complaints, but he couldn't speak out, so he could only order points to collect taxes.

450 bolts of fine silk are taxed at [-]%, and [-] bolts need to be paid.

Obviously, they couldn't pay so much money. Fortunately, silk was also a hard currency, so Xia Yuanji asked someone to take the silk away.

Xu Jingchang also said to Zhu Yong: "Look, I only gave you a hundred horses, and we can collect 450 horses at once. There is such a difference. Do you think they are too hateful?"

Zhu Yong gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, I can still tell how much. These bastards are really bad. They can even lie to children. They should fall into the latrine and drown."

The corners of Xu Jingchang's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice, "That Zhu Qianhu, let's enforce the law in a civilized manner, don't swear at others, you are not a good boy."

"I know, don't worry, I'm not scolding people!"

Xu Jingchang frowned slightly. The child is a good child, but he still needs to be taught well.

Xia Yuanji is too lazy to talk to Xu Jingchang, his whole heart is on tax collection.

Facts have proved that there are quite a lot of good things coming to Beijing during this period, high-quality silk, fine porcelain from Jingdezhen, mahogany furniture from Fujian, good tea from Zhejiang, and grain from Huguang, Jiangxi...I have been busy until sunset, Roughly estimated, the tax collected can be converted into silver, which can reach 5000 taels.

There are so many ones, wouldn't it be tens of millions in a year?
Of course, accounts cannot be calculated in this way. The reason for this is that a large number of upstarts want to renovate their mansions to show their wealth.

The situation of these families is basically that the trees are low and the new paintings are not old, which is completely different from the Xu family, which is old Yingtianzhenghongqi.

After all, a locust tree in Zhongshan Wangfu is said to have been planted in the Song Dynasty, and it survived several dynasties.

What is the background!
It's just that Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji didn't know that their actions had aroused the unanimous anger of the court, regardless of civil or military, everyone was angry.

Jian Yi gathered five or six people here, crying to him, "Heavenly official, you have to decide for us! Why is Xia Shangshu messing around with Xu Jingchang, the commander-in-chief? Is there any law?"

Jian Yi frowned, "As soon as you come here, it's too much to criticize the two important ministers of the Nine Ministers?"

"However, not at all! Tianguan, we all know that Ming's salary is low. Back then, Emperor Taizu allowed all officials to bring some local products to Beijing, and sell them to live without paying taxes. As a result, today At Jubao Gate, Xia Shangshu and Xu Tongzheng collected the city entrance tax, they have forgotten the teachings of their ancestors. If the heavenly officials don’t decide for us, we can only go to His Majesty to seek justice.”

Another Si Ye from the Imperial Academy also said: "Our life is already poor, and we still have to be exploited by others. It's really chilling!"

Almost at the same time, Xungui quit.

What is the dilemma of making tax easy to pay?

What a fart!
We didn't see any benefit and paid a lot of tax money first.

Those surnamed Xu and Xia are basically deceiving people.

Even if there is no business in the family, they can't stand it now, the best things are [-]% more expensive out of thin air.

Good guy, treat us like leeks.

"To settle the accounts, we must find someone surnamed Xu to settle the accounts!"

Obviously, when it comes to offending people, Xu Jingchang is the best. There is no one before, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the future.

"Auntie, I beg you, nephew, you must speak to His Majesty to make His Majesty firm in his will and not to change easily. Otherwise, my nephew's life may not be saved."

Empress Xu glanced at him, "I see you are so overwhelmed, I thought you don't know what it means to be afraid?"

"My aunt gave me the guts, and besides, I'm also doing it for the good of Daming." Xu Jingchang laughed.

Empress Xu nodded, "As long as you have the right mind, no one can do anything to you in the Ming Dynasty. My aunt said that!"
