Chapter 319 It's the First Time I Heard It (Part [-])
"It's easy! The common people want to increase taxes, and increasing taxes is also good for the government. Schools, hospitals, and nursing homes are almost free to the outside world. They need a lot of money every year. The financial situation of the accounting office is tight, and the increase in taxes can just balance it." Income and expenditure, why not do it!"

For Chu Zishen, it seems that such a matter is not difficult to solve, and the common people and the government are satisfied with it, the best of both worlds!
Judging from the situation to the actual situation, Chu Zishen's analysis was indeed not wrong, and it could even be said to be the most reasonable decision-making method. It's a pity that they followed Su Tang, not others.

It's not that Lin Qing didn't make up his mind, but later he found out that His Highness seemed dissatisfied with everything he made a decision, and Lin Qing always wanted to break his head and couldn't understand the decisions His Highness made.

When it came to solving problems, most of his ideas couldn't keep up with Su Tang's decision. After trying a few times, he gave up making his own decisions. When His Highness was around, if he could ask His Highness, he would ask His Highness.

He will only deal with it when His Highness is not here.

For example, in this matter now, Lin Qing dared to pat his chest to assure that His Highness's solution is definitely not what Chu Zishen said!
"Come with me to listen to His Highness's instructions!" Lin Qing smiled meaningfully at Chu Zi, young man!Just don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

"I guess His Highness will definitely adopt my solution!" Chu Zishen said confidently.

With such a simple and best of both worlds solution, His Highness has absolutely no reason not to adopt it.

The two of them turned to leave, and the crowd in the street was still shouting and protesting.

The people also feel sorry for Su Tang. In the past two years, Su Tang has continued to benefit them. From food seeds to ice silkworms, almost all of them are sold to them at a low price, and the tax collected is even more pitiful, only [-]%.

Fifty shi of sweet potatoes can be grown in one acre of land, and His Highness only collects five shi of tax. In this case, he will give them free housing, free pension, free schooling, free medical treatment, and help beggars to help them settle down. , can have a stable rest of life.

Advocating equality for all, giving common people the right to control their own lives, and always thinking of the common people.

They are all human beings, and His Highness has done everything for them,

They all kept it in their hearts. In the past, they felt that they had to be obedient, and they would listen to whatever His Highness said. The best way to repay His Highness was not to make trouble for His Highness.

Until the hospital was opened to solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for the common people, they were very moved.

No one has ever had a minor illness or disaster in his life, and no one can do without seeing a doctor and taking medicine. This is the welfare of the people of Yanyang County.

So the common people discussed that they had to do something for His Highness, but they didn't have any big skills. The only thing they could do was to let the government increase taxes and help the government reduce some financial pressure.

One mu of land can produce dozens of shi of grain, let alone harvest a few shi, just take half of it. If there are so many people in a family, who hasn’t planted a few mu or dozens of mu, even if they harvest half of the output, They still have more food than they can eat.

In addition to the income from these grains, they also have the income from raising silkworms, and the money they earn from working in factories. Now that the common people can earn money and live well, I think it will be no problem for His Highness to directly collect half of the tax.

The common people got together to discuss it, and felt that this matter was feasible, and this was the only thing their common people could do to help His Highness.

Someone went to the government to raise their opinions, but the government ignored them at all. The government felt that they were not living a good life every day, so why did they bother His Highness, and drove them back directly.

After several attempts with no results, the common people felt that it was impossible. His Highness was not willing to increase taxes for their sake, and they must repay His Highness by asking His Highness to increase taxes.

They must share their worries for His Highness, so there was a scene where people gathered on the street to protest and everyone expressed their determination in unity.

After the officials from the government failed to persuade him, Lin Qing could only decide to go back and ask Su Tang what to do!
Su Tang did everything he was supposed to do. Right now, he was playing cards with Yingyue, Xiaolan and Xiaocui. Whoever loses would stick a small note on his face. Xiaolan and Cui have already been posted. It's all over the face.

Chu Zi looked deeply at Su Tang who was smiling like a flower, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, as if a delicate flower in his heart bloomed with Su Tang's smile.

Her Majesty the dignified Princess, who is loved by the people, also has such a wanton smile. Not everyone can see the appearance of a little girl like Her Majesty.

Seeing that he was staring at Su Tang in a daze, Lin Qing kicked him lightly, staring at Su Tang so directly, how unruly it is!By the way, he gave Chu Zishen a face and asked him to report it himself.

Chu Zishen was kicked by Lin Qing. Realizing his gaffe, he quickly calmed down and walked forward, saying respectfully, "Your Highness!"

Su Tang had just pasted the note on Yingyue's face, and now she was leaning forward and back with a smile. When Chu Zishen called out, she realized that Lin Qing and Chu Zishen had arrived here at some point.

"What's the matter?" Su Tang asked with a smile, and quickly shuffled and dealt the cards in her hands. Her goal today was to put notes on Yingyue's face.

"Today, the common people marched and gathered a crowd to make trouble, saying that they want the government to increase taxes and contribute to His Highness. They also said that if His Highness disagrees with the tax increase, they will sleep on the street and not leave..."

Hearing this, Su Tang, who was busy looking at the cards, raised his head and looked at Chu Zishen seriously, "What else?"

The common people were clamoring and yelling, it was the first time Su Tang had heard of such a thing as increasing taxes.

"Yes, I feel that the people pay taxes voluntarily, and the government can accumulate more wealth because of this. It's a good thing to have the best of both worlds..." Before Chu Zishen finished speaking, Su Tang interrupted him.

"Tell them that it is impossible to increase taxes. If they have more money than they can spend, they will donate it to charity. There are still many people in this world who can't eat enough. If they don't listen, they will send troops to disperse them. If you catch them and lock them up for a few days, you will be honest!" Su Tang replied impatiently.

She is not poor enough to let the common people send her silver flowers. All these restless people are living too comfortably now?They all started to worry about her.

... Chu Zishen was completely taken aback after listening to Su Tang's words. There is obviously a way to get the best of both worlds, so why doesn't His Highness use it?Instead, use this kind of hurtful means to suppress them?Taking a sneak peek at Lin Qing, Lin Qing raised his eyebrows, acting like I told you a long time ago.

Never try to guess His Highness's thoughts, because you can't guess!
