Runaway Mengfei is not easy to mess with

Chapter 938: An Epiphany

However, apart from Yanshui, the rest of the countries are mainly based on agriculture. Agriculture is the foundation of the country. If the tax on agriculture is reduced, the tax revenue of the country will be reduced by several tenths. How much money will that be? Ah, no matter how heartless the emperor would dare to do this!
Business profits are high, so more taxes should be levied. On the contrary, because there are not many people engaged in business, or businessmen are shrewd, there are various ways to evade taxes.On the contrary, the country's tax collection rate in the business area is not high, which makes businessmen rich, and then bribes officials with real money to open the door for their own business.

Over time, the life of the country's cornerstone farmers is getting worse and worse. On the contrary, the life of the businessmen is getting better and better. Not only are they rich, they also lend money to enclose the farmers' land into their own hands, thinking The method is to put the land under the name of a famous military or literary scholar to avoid taxation.

If things go on like this, the country receives less and less taxes, while businessmen and officials become richer and richer, and the national power gradually declines. There are many examples in history of businessmen manipulating officials behind their backs, and even manipulating the head of a country.

Isn’t the Yanshui Kingdom a living example? The Yanshui Kingdom didn’t have the surname Yan before, and the Yanshui royal family used to be just a country peddler. Because of their sweet mouth and hard work, their business was booming. Later, after several generations, the business became big enough to control the imperial court. Later, he simply overthrew the previous dynasty and became emperor himself.

It is conceivable how powerful a businessman is.

But except for a few people of insight, most people can't see this disadvantage. Maybe some officials who are dedicated to serving the country and the people have seen the disadvantage, but their voices are weak, and either it didn't reach the emperor's ears at all, or Even if the emperor didn't pay attention to it, or paid attention to it, but also because it involved too much, if he really wanted to do something, he might shake the foundation of the country and hesitated.

But his master dared to do such a thing, Ruan Baochai's heart was full of pride, and the eyes that looked at Xilinglan became more fanatical and adoring.

Because Xu Mengchen wanted to discuss the law with Xilinglan, he turned his back to Ruan Baochai, just in front of Xilinglan. At this moment, Ruan Baochai's fiery eyes were about to roast his back and penetrate, no matter how thick he was, he still felt arrive.

Turning around, I saw Ruan Baochai's eyes, no matter how familiar I looked, wasn't this the same as when I saw the boss?
A sense of crisis immediately surged in Xu Mengchen's heart. He said that although he was the first to join the boss, he was the first younger brother of the boss, and he always thought that his younger brother's position was secure, but Yuan Xuan came later, who was taller than him. He is handsome, his kung fu is better than his own, and he is good at leading soldiers in battle, and he turns himself into a scum in seconds.

He also recognized it, who made himself and Yuan Xuan good brothers!Being the second child of ten thousand years can bear it.

But where did this girl's film come out, and she dared to take the position of the boss's confidant, right-hand man, and thug, really treating him as a dead man?
With a vigilant mind in battle, he didn't care too much, and the first thing to do was to keep his own position. While Xilinglan was still deliberating on one of the laws, he gave Ruan Baochai a warning look.

Ruan Baochai was stared at inexplicably, and didn't quite understand it, but after seeing Xu Mengchen standing closer to Xilinglan flauntingly, and throwing himself a smug look, he had an epiphany.

Let's just say that this guy who is not very strong in martial arts has survived for so long in Sui County alone with a dozen guards. It turns out that he loves his master and wants to show himself in front of him!
