Gao Shilian found Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling didn't know what was going on, but he still asked him to sit down.

"I don't know if the servants know that the merchants here in the capital have increased their taxes a lot?" Gao Shilian asked Fang Xuanling.

"Well, taxes?" When Fang Xuanling heard this, he looked at Gao Shilian in shock, he really didn't know this.

"According to the information I know, Chang'an Mansion Yin has apportioned a lot of taxes to the merchants, and I heard that those workshops have to pay thousands of yuan, and those with few have to pay almost a hundred yuan!" Gao Shilian said to Fang Xuanling.

"But really, what ministry levied it?" When Fang Xuanling heard this, he stood up anxiously and asked Gao Shilian.

"You really don't know?" Gao Shilian looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"How do I know, which department levied it? Why haven't you asked for advice? Fang Xuanling asked Gao Shilian anxiously.

"Now I heard that it is the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but there is no definite news, or you need to check it, the old man still thinks you know, there are many merchants who do not understand this levy, because they all pay taxes in accordance with the laws of our Datang, why did they suddenly come to a war tax, and this tax is not light!" Gao Shilian said to Fang Xuanling.

"Who has the audacity to levy taxes like this? But what does Your Majesty mean? Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while, I was afraid that Li Shimin would be taxed, but it was not right to think about it, this matter, Li Shimin wanted to levy taxes, and he would definitely discuss it with those officials in the court.

"I don't know, the old man is also worried that it is His Majesty's will, but if it is His Majesty's will, there is no reason not to tell me, right?" Gao Shilian looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"No, the old man needs to ask His Majesty, this matter is not a trivial matter!" Fang Xuanling stood up as he spoke, and then walked towards Chengtian Palace.

"Wait a minute, let's ask clearly first, so rush over, Your Majesty asks, we don't know anything, and it's troublesome!" Gao Shilian grabbed Fang Xuanling and reminded him.

"It's okay, but you still need to make sure that it's not Your Majesty's intention, if it's not Your Majesty's intention, then it needs to be strictly investigated!" Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while, nodded and said, Gao Shilian also means this, taxation is a big thing, and it is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he dares to openly levy additional taxes, it will definitely not work. And on the Qin Huai Dao Mansion, Li Lixian was looking at the account book sent below.

"Madam, Chang'an Mansion Yin sent someone to send a message, our Qinfu Restaurant needs to pay a tax of 2,000 yuan, a dim sum workshop needs to pay a tax of 2,000 yuan, a flower water workshop needs to pay a tax of 2,000 yuan, and other shops and so on, all add up, you need to pay more than 11,000 yuan in taxes, but this money, what kind of tax it is, the small ones are not clear, and many businessmen are not clear, if we don't pay, Chang'an Mansion Yin will seize our workshop!" A steward came to Li Lixian and reported.

"I've heard, this tax has been issued by the court?" Li Lixian rubbed her temples and asked the steward.

"No, everyone is inexplicable, how much to pay, it is completely up to Chang'an Mansion Yin to have the final say!" The steward shook his head and said to Li Lixian,

Li Lixian heard it, and also sat there thinking, just a Chang'an Mansion Yin, dare to collect so much money, according to the news that Li Lixian knows, Chang'an Mansion Yin is the eldest brother's person, does this matter have anything to do with the East Palace? Thinking of this, Li Lixian stood up and notified the steward that she was going out for a trip, and soon Li Lixian arrived at the East Palace, found the crown princess Su, and after chatting for a while, Li Lixian told Su about the tax collection.

"Chang'an Mansion Yin? Is it the Prince's man? I really don't know about this, you wait, I'll ask Gao Cheng! As soon as Su Shi heard this, he immediately ordered someone to find Gao Cheng, and soon, Gao Zheng came over, and Su asked who Yin of Chang'an Mansion was, and whether he had any relationship with the Prince's Mansion?

"Niangniang, it has nothing to do with the East Palace now, the previous Chang'an Mansion Yin was a person from the East Palace, but he was promoted last month and went to Bashu to take up a post, Chang'an Mansion Yin was newly sent, and the East Palace is not familiar with it, plus now the prince is not in the East Palace, and the minister has not asked!" Gao Cheng immediately asked Su Shi.

"Do you mean to say that the people from the East Palace were transferred before, does the prince know about it?" When Su Shi heard this, he frowned and asked Gao Cheng.

"I wrote a letter to report it in the past, but after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received it, he did not explain this matter to the minister!" Gao Cheng continued to speak, and when Su Shi heard it, he stood up and began to think there, and then sent Gao Cheng away, and he just sat there and thought about it.

"Dare to tax, that's not an ordinary person, if there is no permission from my father, even the Ministry of Civil Affairs is not so bold, and it is so reckless to levy taxes, it is really possible that it has something to do with my father!" Su Shi thought about it for a while and said to Li Lixian.

"It's unlikely, if my father wants to levy taxes, it won't be at this time, and if I want to levy them, I won't issue treasury bonds at that time, so I conclude that this matter must have nothing to do with my father!" Li Lixian shook his head very resolutely at this moment and said, he firmly believed that he had nothing to do with Li Shimin.

"But if it weren't for the relationship with his father, who would have the audacity to dare to collect taxes privately? This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who would dare to be so bold? Su Shi also sat there and said suspiciously.

"Maybe it has something to do with the Ministry of Civil Affairs? I have to ask Tang Jiancai about this, now that the war is going on, it doesn't cost much money, the front line is almost over, I heard that they are already negotiating now, where do you need so much money? And I heard that the eldest brother now has millions of cash, all of which are sold to those Goguryeo people, which makes no sense at all! Li Lixian continued.

"This matter, you still need to ask your father who is, such a levy, people who don't know, still think that the father is going to levy, it stands to reason that the father will not do such a thing!" Su Shi thought about it for a while, looked at Li Lixian and said, Li Lixian nodded.

"It's better for you to go, sister, it's not appropriate for me to go, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, it's okay for you to go, after all, you have to pay taxes now!" Su Shi looked at Li Lixian and said.

"Cheng, if it's not someone from the East Palace, I'll go and talk about it, I thought it was the eldest brother who was going to levy it!" Li Lixian nodded, and soon Li Lixian went to the palace,

At this moment, Li Shimin is very happy, just now he ordered to check a few officials, before they wrote that they wanted the people of Honglu Temple to go to Goguryeo, and they were very fierce, now that the negotiations have been completed, Li Shimin has also begun to clean up some of them, it is impossible to say that he has been under so much pressure in the past few days, they have nothing to do, and someone has attacked Qin Huaidao, this matter cannot be easily let go.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" As soon as Li Lixian arrived at Chengtian Palace, she saw Xiao Yu and Eldest Sun Wuji standing here, and Li Lixian saw them saluting to herself, and she also saluted them back.

"Gonggong Li, please inform my father, I want to see my father! I have something to tell my father! Li Lixian said to a eunuch at the door.

"Yes, Your Highness Princess, please wait!" The eunuch immediately went inside.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, can you persuade Your Majesty, as far as the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Civil Affairs are concerned, can you not deal with it, they just wrote that they would send people from Honglu Temple to Goguryeo, and there are no other mistakes, and Your Majesty actually wants to demote them, and even hand them over to the Criminal Department to investigate, this is not good!" Xiao Yu said to Li Lixian at this moment.

"I can't say this, I can't do politics!" When Li Lixian heard it, she immediately waved her hand and said.

"It's not to interfere in politics, or to persuade Your Majesty, the speaker is not guilty, Your Majesty is guilty of his words, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, if this matter is implemented, I believe that the Imperial Doctor will definitely go to the book, or I hope you can persuade more!" The eldest grandson Wuji also stood there and spoke.

"Well, I believe that my father will not be punished for his words, there must be other things!" Li Lixian still didn't agree, for the two of them, Li Lixian didn't have a good impression, when Qin Huaidao was in Chang'an before, they didn't stumble Qin Huaidao, and it was impossible for him to help them speak.

"This, that's because of this, and ask the princess for help!" Xiao Yu still continued to beg Li Lixian.

"This matter, you will talk to your father in person, if I go to say it, it will make my father unhappy, and I don't know the specific things, so I can't promise you!" Li Lixian smiled at them, then stood there and waited, and after a while, the eunuch returned.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please, Your Majesty is very happy to know that you are here, and specially ordered that the back kitchen prepare food, and said that you want to leave Your Highness to eat in the palace!" The eunuch said to Li Lixian with a smile.

"Okay, it's okay at noon!" Li Lixian smiled and said, and soon arrived on the fourth floor, where Li Shimin was watching the recital. "My daughter has seen her father!" After Li Lixian entered, she saluted Li Shimin and said.

"The girl is exempt, why didn't you bring Yuan'er over?" Li Shimin said happily to Li Lixian.

"My daughter has something to do, so I didn't bring it here, how is my father lately?" Li Lixian walked over with a smile and pressed Li Shimin's shoulder and said.

"Fortunately, there are too many chapters, but fortunately, Peping got reading glasses for his father, otherwise, his father would not have been able to read it! By the way, you said that there is something to find your father, what is it, someone is bullying you again? Li Shimin smiled and asked Li Lixian, for Li Lixian, Li Lixian is his favorite.
