Upon receiving the news, Yinzhen immediately followed. It was not difficult to sneak into a manor of over a thousand acres, and he soon met Prince Yu, who was fishing by the lake wearing a straw hat.
Prince Yu also heard the commotion and saw Yinzhen pointing to the stone slab beside him, indicating that he should sit down.
"Yinzhen greets Prince Wang."
Prince Yu shook his head as he looked at his nephew's cold and stern face: "With you around, I doubt anyone can feel at ease."
“Uncle Wang, Father is determined to collect the debt this time. After all, the Yellow River flood is imminent, and we can’t just sit idly by, even for the sake of the people, can we?” Yinzhen also picked up a fishing rod and started fishing.
“Uncle Wang has borrowed five million taels from the national treasury over the years, and that’s just a small fraction of it. As an elder member of the imperial clan, it’s most appropriate for you to take the lead in repaying it. Father Emperor has already stated that as long as the loan is repaid on time, all past offenses will be forgiven,” Yinzhen continued.
Prince Yu spoke up: "Of course I want to repay it, but as you said, five million taels is no small amount. I'm lucky if I have tens of thousands of taels in cash in my manor. It's just a drop in the ocean."
"So that's what Uncle Wang was worried about. I think this estate is very valuable."
"Hahaha, you dare to say that!" Prince Yu laughed out loud. "Why don't you send someone to move it, nephew? I certainly won't stop you."
Yinzhen was speechless. Good money shouldn't be taken recklessly. If he really followed Prince Yu's logic, what would he become? A bandit?
"Uncle Wang, I've asked Father Emperor for a favor, but I've never told anyone else. You can keep it to yourself, but please don't spread it around," Yinzhen suddenly said, emphasizing it.
Prince Yu finally moved, and he looked up at Yinzhen.
"Father Emperor agrees that the first ten people to repay their loans will be granted a 50% tax reduction for the next five years." Yinzhen lifted the rod with force, and a big fish took the bait.
"I don't know about the land under Uncle Wang's name, but the benefits of this tax reduction are real. Please think it over carefully." Yinzhen left carrying a lively fish.
