Chapter 598 The general trend is the people's will

"Who said the regent had to be regent?" Liu Hong gradually became unhappy when he heard it.

If you dare to be the regent of Laoshizi, you have to grasp the big and small things, and you will be tired like Uncle Chongzhen?

If he remembered correctly, Uncle Chongzhen's meaning was very clear at the beginning, as long as he thought something was wrong, he could directly point it out.

In other words, he can manage it if he wants to, and he can ignore it if he doesn't want to.

If he had to come and see everything, Liu Hongjian himself would definitely not agree, standing above the little emperor, the old man is still alive and good.

Once the uncle goes, then he will be the target of everyone, it is better to be a salted fish in Xishan with peace of mind and earn a little money to make a living.

"Also, aren't you too idle? In the matter of commercial taxation, there is a cabinet and a head of the household department, how can a servant of the ministry, a servant of the criminal department, and a deputy imperial history of the deputy capital want to intervene? ”

Liu Hong gradually knew that talking about commercial taxes was just an excuse for these uncles and uncles.

The reason why they were all angry and unkind to come to worship the mountain gate was just to get rid of their political enemies by his hand.

It's just that they seem to have miscalculated.

Hehe, the reason why Liu Hongjian is so holy is that he is still the double saint of father and son, and the most important thing is not to form a party!

and repeatedly worked with Chongzhen to do big things and pit ministers, offending them all over again, making them eager to gradually divide Liu Hong into muscles and bones and spit a hundred more mouthfuls of spit.

When a courtier can offend all your subordinates for you, and he can lead troops to fight to protect his family and defend the country, which emperor with a normal IQ will not regard it as a treasure?

This is not because Liu Hong's consciousness is high, but he thinks that none of those white-bearded old men are easy to mess with, and he has to help people with money when he is cheated by others.

Anyway, he's just a straight-tempered guy who punches his master to death, and he doesn't listen to your beep or partner with you.

"The prince's words are wrong! If the cabinet can do it, we will naturally not seem to have nothing to do, but who wants to use a knife on themselves? Zhang Tianlu said unhurriedly.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Could it be that the cabinet members are playing favoritism and deliberately making things difficult? Liu Hong gradually asked.

Zhang Tianlu didn't say anything when he heard this, but Wang Yuangu, the servant of the Criminal Department, stood up.

"Back to the prince, the elders of the cabinet will definitely not be so short-sighted, but they ...... Many of their own families and relatives are in business...... Moreover, the businessmen are well-informed, and there are many people who collude with officials in the DPRK and China.

They learned the news as early as last year, and now they have secretly united, intending to ......" Wang Yuangu got up to explain, but he hesitated.

"What do you want?" The corners of Liu Hong's mouth gradually tilted, and he sneered in his heart.

"The intention is to cut off business and force the imperial court to give up or compromise." Wang Yuangu stabilized his mind and told the truth.

"Hahaha! It's a little interesting, has our capitalism grown like this? Liu Hong smiled gradually.

The merchants united, which was not his expectation, and if these merchants really broke the kettle and united to fight against the court in the form of a strike, maybe they would really make a fuss.

After all, the people everywhere should eat and wear rice and grain and go down to the cloth and silk front, and there is nothing that does not need to be purchased.

It's just that...... Hehe, Liu Hong's heart has no waves, and he is still a little eager to try.

Xishan has been in business for so long, not only selling glass and yarn, but also basically getting involved in all major prefectures and counties, which can alleviate some of the hidden worries.

But this is not the most important thing, in the past two years or so, Liu Hong has gradually copied the homes of civil officials, as well as the homes of nobles, and has not copied the homes of those big businessmen in the south.

I haven't done my old job for a year, Liu Hong gradually stroked his stubble and thought to himself, these guys' family property should be very rich.

It's just that he didn't want to wipe out the merchants like a mountain, but the sprouts that sprouted from the Ming Dynasty were not easy to come by, although they were later crushed to death by the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucracy.

But at least now as a guide, it's his responsibility to clear the way for him while training the sprouts to thrive.

"What ...... Humanism? Lord, you should stand up for the benefit of all the people in the world! Zhang Tianlu and the others listened to Liu Hong's gradual self-talk, but they couldn't understand it.

And he still couldn't figure out the young prince in front of him, who obviously had the huge power of the cadre, but he always seemed to be lazy...... How can this be?

If he had come to sit in this seat, he would have rolled up his sleeves and done a big job.

"The lower official also implores the prince to enter the palace to meet the saint, and set the regulations for the collection of commercial taxes as soon as possible, and it is best for you to personally supervise it." Wang Yuangu got up and asked.

It stands to reason that this collection of commercial taxes is a matter for the Ministry of Households, but Zhu Cihong definitely doesn't want to hand it over to their old ministers, plus Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, disobeyed him several times and expressed his dissatisfaction with the King of Anguo.

But Wang Yuangu didn't want this matter to fall into the hands of this group of young people in the East Palace, these young and vigorous guys were too radical, if they were really in power, they would definitely attack these old ministers.

After all, who doesn't have any relatives in business, and who hasn't received the filial piety of those big businessmen in the south?

In particular, those big salt merchants are all families that have been in business for tens or hundreds of years, and no one knows how rich their family background is, and their relationship network is even more intertwined and affects the whole body, and once it is not properly handled, the consequences will be very serious.

It's not that he wants to excuse the courtiers, the court has a lot of shortcomings, and it is not something that can be solved quickly by vigorous and resolute action.

And although Liu Hongjian has repeatedly attacked the courtiers, with his conscience, this guy has never given face to anyone, and let this young prince take care of this matter, and they, the old ministers, can rest assured.

"You don't need to say more, and go back, and help this king to bring a message to all the lords.

Whether they have relatives in their family, whether their own family is in business, or they have received heavy gifts from other merchants, the court can not blame the past.

The levy of commercial taxes is the trend of the times and the will of the people, and from now on, whoever dares to rebel and obstruct it will be self-defeating. Liu Hong gradually got up and said to Wang Yuangu and the others.

"Come back, this king hasn't eaten yet!" Liu Hong gradually saw that these people were still sitting and refused to move, and thought that these uncles were trying to rub rice, so he said bluntly with a calm face.

"Xiaguan...... Retire! Seeing that Liu Hong gradually gave the order to expel the guests, several people got up one after another and said stupidly.

It seems that the prince is not uncommon for their surrender, and he is not interested in their disputes, which is really painful.

If the regent is not regent, what else can he do? They're desperate too!

A few people had just left the conference hall, but they saw the chubby celebrant eunuch accompanying the huge sea of dust and greeting him......
