Fang Xuanling added: “It’s true that there should be no shortfalls in the book of the household department, but it cannot tolerate a sum of surplus. After pairwise accounting, the number of books should be flat. It indicates where there is an error, which is also not allowed."

Li Zhi nodded, turned the account of the Pearl Bank, and said, "Not to mention that the tax in five years is 60% more than that in three years. Does it mean that the Pearl Bank made 60% more money last year than the year before?"

"Not necessarily, as the nobles said before, the profit of the business has doubled, and the tax must also be doubled, but the tax has not been since the change of the majesty. According to the small official, the profit of the pearl company last year was higher than that of last year. It has more than doubled the year before last."

Li Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and asked Fang Xuanling: "How did the emperor change his taxes, why don't I know?"

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said: "What this master Zhang said must be the progressive tax system that His Majesty proposed earlier, that is, the more taxes you pay, the greater you can enjoy various tax reductions."

Lao Fang went on to explain: "For example, paying a tax of one hundred silver coins and paying a tax of one thousand silver coins, the difference in their industrial profits is not ten times, sometimes even dozens of times."

Li Zhi threw the tea bowl in his hand at once, and said angrily: "This way, wouldn't the rich get richer and the poor poorer? Those with less profit will have to pay more taxes. This is not fair, you One of the duties of this Shangshu Zuopu shot is to help the community. He was negligent and he knew it was wrong. What did he do at that time?"

Before Fang Xuanling bowed down, Master Zhang fainted.

Tang Hao asked Lao Shao to take Master Zhang and two other small officials to the backyard, and ordered the guards to close the store door. This scene cannot be seen by outsiders.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui knelt on the ground, while Niangniang and Li Dan watched the calligraphy and painting on the wall together, especially when they saw the huge picture of tortoise playing in the water in the middle hall, the mother and son whispered in good spirits.

"Tang Hao, I don't believe that you didn't know the result at the time. I was stunned to make a fortune." Upon hearing the emperor's words, the empress turned her head to look at the furious emperor and hurried to Tang Hao said, "You are not allowed to say anything against the law."

This was the first time Empress interrupted when the emperor was dealing with government affairs. Li Zhi looked at Empress suspiciously, only to find that Li Dan was also embarrassed. He immediately realized that this matter might not be blamed for others, most of it was his own fault.

The empress is here to save her face, for many years of husband and wife, this tacit understanding is still not lacking.

As soon as Tang Hao was about to speak, he almost choked to death when his mother said a word, so he rolled his eyes and looked at the roof.

"Tang Hao, I'm tired, so I will go back to the palace and rest. We will discuss it tomorrow."

"Yes."

As soon as Li Zhi finished giving orders, the guard opened the door. The emperor and the empress got into the carriage, and people continued to join the guards on the street, and under the command of Li Dan, they slew to the palace.

Looking at the emperor's departure, Tang Hao helped Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who were kneeling, sat down on the chairs, and poured tea for them himself. Then he said: "Fang Gong, Du Gong, think about it, your majesty does this, we will have no good life when we return to Chang'an. The progressive tax system is a way for your majesty to pay less taxes. "

"We all opposed it back then. It was your Majesty who went his own way. Now he is using us to push the tank again. What should I do? Proof, there is no way to change this thing day and night."

Fang Xuanling took a sip of hot tea, and said irritably, "What can I do for the old man? This decree has greatly promoted the development of Datang's business. Many small businesses have automatically merged and enjoyed themselves together. This banquet of government orders now seems to be really good for Datang, waiting for more and more big businesses. The imperial taxation will inevitably enter a bottleneck period, and it will be difficult to develop such a rapid development."

Du Ruhui put down the tea bowl, and then said: "Your Majesty's decree, which can be obtained by tapping his head, has not appeared once or twice. Isn't the military retirement order and the military horse method like this? If it is found to be inappropriate, it would be better to be hard. I continued to execute it with my scalp, and I didn't want to compromise my face."

The decommissioning order advances the time for the retirement of the government's soldiers and advances the time for their service. It does not seem to have changed, and the number of young men in the army has even increased. However, in Fang Xuanling's view, she would rather have more veterans who are more than 40 years old than more baby soldiers who are 16 or 17 years old.

"Many old generals have complained." Fang Xuanling said.

"Did you two find out? These are all decrees that are quick and quick. Your Majesty is in a hurry. He wants to finish the road that the number of people can walk only ten years or even hundreds of years before." Tang Hao said.

"What's in a hurry? Datang's current condition is rare for hundreds of years. It is invincible outside, Wu You suffers inside, and the whole world is rising. The people live and work in peace and contentment. As long as the current situation is maintained, the old man dare to say no. Ten years ago. Datang has a new world of its own."

Fang Xuanling said confidently.
