I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

"Oh? If you have any suggestions for the auxiliary machine, tell me quickly."

"Collect business tax."

"Business tax?"

Datang will not have such a business tax.

It's not that no one thought of this, but that the public opinion environment does not allow it.

The country's collection of commercial taxes is related to a moral issue.

According to moral teachers, businessmen are tricks, and they are not good people anyway, which is probably what they mean.

Then, after such bad guys collect money, if they pay taxes to the country, doesn't that mean that the country recognizes their status?The country has become their umbrella?

This is absolutely impossible.

After all, from the perspective of a businessman, it is indeed understandable.

We have made money and paid protection fees, so we need to obtain the corresponding status, otherwise why?

But from the perspective of scholars with the highest class status, they certainly would not agree to such a thing happening, which would threaten their status.

Therefore, if the emperor dared to collect commercial taxes, they dared to complain about the emperor "competing with the people for profit".

Although Li Shimin's tyrannical pull made the surrounding barbarians tremble and call him father, but he really didn't dare to let him tear himself apart with scholars.

Therefore, he is not very optimistic about Changsun Wuji's suggestion.

He shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate for the auxiliary machine, it is against tradition."

Changsun Wuji smiled slightly, and continued, "Your Majesty, I also know that this is inappropriate."

Li Shimin glared at him, Made knew something was wrong, so what about Jill?

"Your Majesty, it is inappropriate for the country to collect business taxes, but what about overseas?"

Ok?

Uh-huh? ?

hmmmm? ? ?

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Overseas? Tell me about the auxiliary machine!"

"Wowo girls come from the East China Sea, and the East China Sea trades, and they are not citizens of the dynasty. How can they be domestic?"

It means that the business tax collected for overseas trade is different from the domestic business tax collected.

There is a lot of room for manipulation in this difference, at least there is an excuse to block the criticism of moral teachers.

"This is called customs tax!" Changsun Wuji added.

Li Shimin got excited at that time, his eyes became very bright.

"This method of auxiliary machine is very good, very good!"

According to the current situation in the Northeast, Goguryeo has been blown away, and even the king of Goryeo secretly begged to surrender. This situation is equivalent to that Dad of Tang Dynasty can play whatever he wants.

After the destruction of Goguryeo, the profits from the East China Sea will definitely bring huge benefits to the rich merchants and prominent families in the Tang Dynasty.

But these are all based on the premise that Datang smashed Goguryeo.

Now you rely on the deterrence of the country to make a fortune, and you don’t pay any benefits after you make your fortune. How can you do that?

Can't!

Hurry up and sort it out.

But after all, the country is majestic, and you can't just ask for protection money like the vitality club.

There must be a legitimate title.

And the "customs tax" proposed by Changsun Wuji is very good!

It's a good name.

If you have money, everyone earns it together. If you want to eat alone, Li Shimin doesn't mind sending you to the East China Sea to feed the sharks in the name of the righteousness of the country.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji's proposal was in Li Shimin's arms.

Not only can Li Shimin make a fortune, but he can also teach his cheating son a lesson.

After all, who in the East China Sea earns the most?

Isn't it his cheating son Li Mu?

Li Shimin nodded with a slight smile, and said, "This is a very good move. From now on, a Customs Department will be established in all sea areas of the Tang Dynasty!"

[It's another day for salted fish, there must be two changes tomorrow, otherwise chop... Forget it, try to make two changes tomorrow! 】

Chapter 254 Big cousin, yyds!

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he silently returned to his original position and smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.

Du Ruhui secretly gave him a thumbs up.

It means that this matter is handled properly, just within the range that everyone can accept.

Wen Yanbo glanced at the two of them secretly, feeling a little emotional for a moment.

The former him, full of pride, tried to challenge his opponent at the director level.

But first, he was beaten by Fang Xuanling and almost paralyzed, and then he turned his attention to Changsun Wuji, a "weak chicken" who relies on sending his sister to the stage.

I thought that a "weak chicken" like Changsun Wuji should be able to tease him a bit.

In the end, he was almost killed, and the Taiyuan Wen family's children were blocked directly at the door of their house.

Later, seeing that Du Ruhui was about to burp, he thought he should have a chance.

As a result, Lao Du was about to die, so he came out of the mountain again after a two-year break. As soon as he got out of the mountain, he made a big news.

As Goguryeo's Liaodong border was blown up, Director Du's power reached the top in an instant, and the rest of the challengers trembled.

At this time, as long as Wen Yanbo didn't have a hole in his head, he wouldn't dare to challenge Lao Du at all.

Therefore, in the face of Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui's two major directors, he didn't dare to intervene, and stood there obediently as the background.

-

the other side.

Jingnan.

Li Mu Jingnan Beppu.

The eldest grandson came all the way to visit.

"Brother Mu, my brother came to see you."

The eldest Sun Chong holds a jade fracture fan and is dressed in a coquettish manner.

Li Mu approached and heard it, what the fuck!The big cousin still wears perfume?

Good guy, enough show!

"Big cousin is here, and my younger brother is welcome, please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

Now Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little bit pained when he saw his big cousin.

Because this guy is very ambitious now, and every day he tricks him into investing. Since the last time he found out that Li Mu made perfume, he has been pushing him to expand production.

The problem is that it is not easy to produce, and there are not many audiences. Except for girls from rich and noble families who use this toy, which farmer girls will use this?

However, apart from wealthy families, Pingkang Fang is a good sales channel.

But the key is that the big cousin has a clear mind, what is he talking about for men's perfumes.

Lying in a big slot!

Li Mu had to admire this guy's vision, which simply surpassed the limitations of this era and directly broke through the sky.

Men's perfume in ancient times?

Li Mu thought that he didn't have the courage to do so, so he was definitely at a loss!

Then the eldest cousin came to bother him every day for a period of time, so that Li Mu couldn't help but feel pain when he saw him now.

I don't know why this guy came to Jingnan today?

Is it still for that men's perfume?

If so, then this guy is really persistent!

"Big cousin, come today, could it be..."

"Hey, Brother Mu, I'm here today because I have something important to do, something important!"

Li Mu looked puzzled, something important?Why do you emphasize it twice?

what?Your dad died?Or is Li Shimin dead?

But judging by his flamboyant attire, it's probably unlikely.

"Then what's the big cousin, please tell the little brother."

After Chang Sun Chong picked up the teacup and took a sip, he said with a pretentious face, "Brother Mu, there are two things, one good and one bad, which one do you want to hear first?"

Li Mu can't wait to whip him to death with a slipper, let's leave this riddle person alone, can you speak quickly if you have something to say, can't you fart quickly?

But after all, Chang Sun Chong is still the big cousin in name, so he still needs to have the courtesy he should have.

With an elegant smile on his face, Li Mu asked, "Let's talk about good things first, cousin."

Chang Sun Chong smiled slightly, put away the jade fracture fan with a snap, then stood up, with his hands behind his back, and raised his head 45 degrees to look up at the sky.

There was a faint pretentious aura exuding from his whole body, and then he said, "I've been promoted for my brother."

What?

That's it?

That's it? ?

You came all the way to Jingnan just to pretend to be a jerk to me?

Did you become a minister or a chancellor?

As for?

Li Mu took a deep breath, calmed down, and then continued to maintain an elegant smile.

"Then congratulations big cousin, what's wrong?"

"Cough cough..."

Chang Sun Chong coughed a little, then looked at Li Mu with a serious face.

"It's a bad thing. Speaking of it, it has a lot to do with Brother Mu. Brother Mu, you have to calm down."

Oh, your old mother, hurry up, hold back!

Facing Li Mu's death stare, the eldest cousin felt a little guilty, so he quickly laughed along with him.

"The thing is like this, His Majesty's order is to set up the East China Sea Customs Department to collect taxes on overseas trade."

"what?"

Li Muteng stood up immediately.

His face immediately darkened.

Good old Li, are you poaching my corner secretly?Do you want to be so ruthless?

Lao Tzu is a good man who has shed blood and contributed to Datang.

As for cheating me so much?

Is it so easy for me to open up an overseas market?

If other people don't cheat, how can they cheat on me? Can someone else cheat?

Li Mu stood there for a while, his expression changed several times, but in the end he could only sigh in despair.
