Chapter 59 Taxation



Wen Xia looked at Liu Dong several times, wanting to say something but holding back, but she had to admit that Liu Dong was right! !

Wen Han, who was walking in front, had no idea that the two people in front of her were actually plotting against her. She was just in a slightly better mood. This was probably the best news in the past half month.

On the second day of the plum blossom viewing banquet, Xiao Zhang learned from Eunuch Sheng that one or two concubines, whom he had never met and had no impression of, said they were not feeling well and wanted the emperor to visit them.

Xiao Zhang agreed readily. Isn't it just to take a look?

Just take a look.

When Concubine Li received the news, a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.

Oh! Man.

But it was never excessive, otherwise the palace maids in front of him would have been able to see it.

After receiving the reply from Eunuch Sheng, she was in high spirits and sat in front of her dressing table.

Prepare to put on makeup carefully and wait for the emperor's arrival.

At this time, the extremely sensible Nanny said, "Master, you are ill now, so don't wear too much makeup!"

Then, people suddenly wake up.

If the Emperor saw me looking so sick, he would probably never want to come again!!

Anyone who can think of this needs to have experienced it.

There are also some people who were not prepared to do this from the beginning.

I just didn’t expect the response on the first day to be so good.

Because at least the emperor agreed, and now my name is listed in the emperor's place, I am no longer unknown.

There is also a group of people who are planning to go for the sickly beauty route.

So we have already started planning what to do after the emperor arrives.

But the truth was not what they thought, because... the emperor only gave the news to the concubines who had been waiting for a long time late at night.

"The Emperor is busy. Please come back tomorrow. Let the imperial physician take a look first."

Those who received the emperor's message began to feel fortunate that he had not forgotten them.

Others who received the news began to consider whether they needed to make an appointment with the emperor?

It is better to let the emperor see the appearance of his sick beauty than to have her never seen by him except during the selection.

It is impossible for Wen Han to have the emperor all to herself!

The next morning, Xiao Zhang, who had just left court, had not taken a few steps.

He had already received messages from countless concubines saying that they were ill and needed the emperor to see them.

Xiao Zhang started to retort directly.

"I fell ill and sought help from the imperial physician to get better. Why are you seeking help from me?"

"Also, why are they all falling ill all of a sudden? Is it the flu? Is Concubine Liang okay?"

"Forget it, let's just confine them! lest the infection spread to Concubine Liang."

Then Xiao Zhang saw the smile on Eunuch Sheng's face and his aunt's smile.

It was a smile that he could only see when his sister was reading a novel.

It's really an eyesore.

Xiao Zhang then saved some face for himself and said, "I'm just afraid that it will infect the entire palace and then spread to the surrounding areas, causing trouble for the people of Dawn."

Eunuch Sheng smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty is righteous."

I was really complaining in my heart, does the emperor himself believe in this interface?

If the emperor himself believed it, he would believe it too.

Obviously, Concubine Liang's status in the emperor's heart far exceeds that of the country.

But Eunuch Sheng just smiled on the surface and still had to save some face for the emperor.

After listening to what Eunuch Sheng said, Xiao Zhang nodded in agreement.

"Forget it, I'd better go see Concubine Liang! Prime Minister Wen has done so many things for me. Now that Prime Minister Wen has left Kyoto, the only one I can't let go of is Concubine Liang. I still have to see her in person to feel at ease! Otherwise, I feel a little guilty towards the Prime Minister."

Eunuch Sheng next to him: "..."

The emperor used to be an upright person. What changed him? It was love!

Fanghanwu.

"The Emperor has arrived."

"Long live our emperor!!"

This time, the voices of the entire Fanghanwu appeared in unison.

The news that the emperor had once set foot in Fanghanwu and the news that the emperor was under house arrest spread throughout the harem.

Everyone couldn't help but grit their teeth when they saw the emperor like this.

Originally they thought that Prime Minister Wen's transfer and Concubine Liang's loss of favor would be their best opportunity.

Unexpectedly, before they could attract the emperor, they were all put under house arrest.

The emperor even put them under house arrest because he was afraid they would infect Concubine Liang?

What is the emperor doing? In his eyes, is there only one woman in this world, Concubine Liang?

Most people once again clearly realized that they might have once again made things worse!

Originally, the emperor might have been trying to gradually forget Concubine Liang, but at this time they came up with an extra trick, making the emperor clearly realize the position of Concubine Liang in his heart.

The concubines who were under house arrest gritted their teeth in hatred and crushed many handkerchiefs.

Fanghanwu.

The atmosphere in Fanghanwu was just as peaceful as when Xiao Zhang first arrived there.

Concubine Liang still needs to be searched in the lounge of the storybook.

That is the study.

This time, not only was Wen Han not reading the script, but he was copying something. Even Wen Xia and Liu Dong were copying something.

"My dear, what are you copying so seriously?"

Wen Han looked at the account books on the table and did not try to cover them up. After copying them, he would show them to the person in front of him, sooner or later.

Although the account books of the Imperial Household Department were in a mess, Wen Han would usually organize them while copying them.

Write down the difference between the two on two pieces of paper. When compared, the difference in amount seems to be extremely large.

Xiao Zhang's face turned a little blue with anger. In order to fill the national treasury every day, he had sent out his right-hand man, Prime Minister Wen, but these people actually evaded taxes in front of him?

Um?

Tax evasion?

Xiao Zhang's expression eased slightly. Once the tax system was implemented, many people's livelihood issues would be solved, but the aristocratic families would riot.

Because the tax system targets high-income earners and taxes them very heavily.

Concubine Liang is really his sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket!

As long as you meet Concubine Liang, good things will happen!

Xiao Zhang was silent for a moment, then looked at Wen Han in front of him and said, "My dear, are you copying this down now to keep some evidence?"

Wen Han nodded.

"Don't bother them?"

"Um."

Xiao Zhang: "But now there is so much evidence, why is it, my beloved concubine?"

Wen Han shook his head, looking somewhat disagreeable.

"These can only catch the superficial people, or even just a few of the people who were pushed out to take the blame. The huge network of relationships inside cannot be caught at all!"

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "Want to drive them crazy?"

Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang in surprise: "How did the emperor know this? But now I'm worried, is the emperor's private treasury enough to squander?"

Xiao Zhang caressed Wen Han's head lovingly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm here to protect you! My treasury has been getting much better recently!"

Wen Han's eyes moved slightly. Xiao Zhang's eyes were too doting. If she continued to look at him, she was afraid that she would fall into it accidentally.
