Chapter 137: Getting Rich Overnight, Afraid

Although only a few people knew about the lifting of the curfew, as time went on, the news could not be hidden.

Of course, there is no need to hide this news, but I have fallen into thinking about these businessmen.

Because it became a problem whether to open or not, if it did, the imperial court would have to collect more market taxes, even though it was only at night.

This requires a new ledger and perhaps a time, but of course this is not the most important thing.

Previously, because of the curfew, I didn't know how much money could be made from opening at night, which naturally made these businessmen hesitate, and many people fell into thought.

Of course, there are some businessmen who have the attitude of giving it a try, if they can make money, then they will continue to open at night, if they do not make money, then they will not open at night.

There are also many shops with such ideas, but it will take two days.

However, a sudden news in Chang'an attracted the attention of most of the people, and it turned out that a refugee had successfully reported it.

"It is said that one of the refugees was a scholar who reported a restaurant."

"This restaurant has done some tricks on the materials, which makes the cost seem much higher."

"This achieved the goal of reducing the city tax, but it is said that it was seen by a down-and-out scholar."

"It is said that the scholar got dozens of dollars and bought a small residence in Chang'an directly."

.......

The voices of discussion sounded, and there was a hint of envy in the words, why is this person not himself.

Although these businessmen were threatened by Li Junxian in disguise, it does not mean that their hands and feet are really clean, and there is also the trick of secretly Chen Cang.

It's just that Li Junxian didn't know about this cattiness, but he was still shaken out.

It can be said that this down-and-out scholar became rich overnight, although these dozens of dollars are nothing to businessmen or children of families.

However, in the eyes of these people, it is the existence of wealth and nobility, and under such influence, many people are staring at the shops in and out of Chang'an for a while.

It seems that as soon as he finds out that something is wrong, he will immediately report it, fantasizing that he will become rich overnight, and this naturally makes these businessmen cry bitterly.

Just as someone stares at you every day to make mistakes, there will naturally be some discomfort, of course, there is still a lot of helplessness in the heart, it seems that this city tax can not be left behind in the future.

Thinking of the previous supplementary city tax, many businessmen couldn't help but have a painful look on their faces, but for the sake of their own lives, this money still can't be saved.

It can be said that this report undoubtedly put a shackle on these merchants, and it is not difficult to infer how much tax a shop should pay, as long as it is often observed.

The gloomy clouds of the merchants in Chang'an did not hinder Li Shimin in the palace from being in a good mood, because the city tax paid by the merchants in Chang'an was as much as 300,000 yuan.

"Your Majesty, just now the hundred horsemen sent news that the locust plague has spread to the Guanzhong region."

The little eunuch Wang De was in a hurry and walked to this majesty's side and said respectfully, but Wang De was secretly bitter in his heart at this time.

Usually these things are reported by Li Junxian, the commander of the hundred horsemen, but Li Junxian has been busy with the city tax in the past few days.

Therefore, this General Li asked the hundred cavalry to transmit the information to Wang De first, and then Wang De reported to His Majesty.

However, if he had a choice, Wang De was naturally 10,000 unwilling, because the news from Guannai was generally not good.

Sure enough, after the report was finished, His Majesty's face turned dark, obviously not in a good mood.

The city tax in the past few days has made Li Shimin temporarily forget about the natural disaster, but this news can be regarded as breaking Li Shimin's joy.

However, this matter cannot be said to be sudden, it should be about the same according to the time, but Li Shimin chose to forget it.

But it's time to come back after all, Li Shimin's face couldn't help but become serious, originally the entire natural disaster was only in the Guannai area.

If the Guanzhong area is also spread by the locust plague, then this is also a large amount of expenditure, and Li Shimin will still calculate this account.

To know that the people in Guanzhong are not much less than those in Guanzhong, of course, what annoys Li Shimin is that this group of ministers is still arguing.

Faced with the uncertainty of whether to respond to the locust plague, it can be said that they are divided into separate courts, half of which are officials who are mainly Confucian doctrines.

After thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart, but fortunately, his father had already reminded him, and there was no big mess now.

Therefore, the people did not involve him as an emperor, otherwise if he was used by someone with a heart, even Li Shimin would have some distress.

After all, because there are some unjustifiable names when ascending to the throne, Li Shimin values reputation the most.

"Is the locust plague really a punishment from heaven?"

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he couldn't help muttering, with a hint of fear in his words.

The only things that can make this emperor feel fearful are the legendary ghosts and gods.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask An Xuangong about this matter, after all, An Xuangong's rumors can lead to heaven."

Suddenly, Wang De's voice sounded, in fact, the little eunuch was not interested in these ministers, and he would block His Majesty, but it was An Xuangong.

Although the relationship with His Majesty is a little delicate, he can solve a lot of troubles for His Majesty every time.

After the words fell, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up, how could I forget that there is still a father, if it is really a locust god who punishes him, then the father should have a solution.

This can be regarded as a moment of confusion, but he has only been to Shufu not long ago, and he has hinted that his father has relief for a while, even now that he thinks of this, Li Shimin's face is a little uncomfortable.

"Wang De, you go and ask my father on my behalf, remember to be respectful."

In the end, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Wang De and said loudly, thinking about it, there is only one way.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang De said respectfully, as for being respectful to An Xuangong, he had a wry smile in his heart, where did he dare to be disrespectful to An Xuangong, otherwise it would not be so difficult to change a eunuch.

Wang De did not dare to delay this matter, because the locust plague was coming, so after retiring, he immediately left the palace.

In a short period of time, he arrived at Shufu, and he was no stranger to Wang De in Shufu, and at this time, Shu An knew the news of Wang De's arrival, and his face couldn't help but be stunned.

What is the matter with Li Shimin, otherwise he would not have sent this little eunuch to Shu Mansion, Shu An is not really a god after all, and he can't know the meaning of this time.

Of course, Shu An didn't have much emotion on his face, and people would naturally say something when they arrived.
