People in the Tang Dynasty are used to living in the frame set by the imperial court. As long as this frame can benefit them, no one will rebel unless they can''t live.
Tang Hao stood up from his chair with a long sigh and asked his wife to serve him in official clothes. He must talk to the Emperor today. He went to see Fang Xuanling first. Fang Xuanling was stunned at a piece of paper.
Seeing that Tang Hao was dressed meticulously in official clothes, he quickly accused him of his crime, returned to the back hall, put on his official clothes and came out to meet him. According to the official etiquette, Tang Hao saluted Fang Xuanling. After Fang Xuanling returned the salute, the two people took their seats.
"The general came here for the purpose of luxury tax. His majesty has ordered it and it is difficult to change it." Fang Xuanling guessed the purpose of Tang Hao''s trip. He also thought that the government affairs decided by the emperor was unreasonable. He was just waiting for the investigation. Once the investigation was over, he would write this decree.
But now the emperor can''t wait. He has sent two groups of servants to ask for information. He is worried that the luxury things will sell more and the country will be damaged.
Tang Hao didn''t speak. He put his bag on Fang Xuanling''s desk, took out 15 big words and threw them on the side.
Who is Fang Xuanling? Seeing these two things, he immediately understood and asked Tang Hao in surprise: "general Tang, does it mean that your Majesty''s tax rate is inappropriate, not too much, but too little?"
Tang Hao''s voice was like that of a puppet: "the market price of this bag is ten silver coins. According to your Majesty''s tax rate, there are fifteen eldest sons. What do you think? The Tang family dare not earn this money. The emperor thinks he has realized the harm of luxury goods, but why did he introduce such a thing?"
"I can''t even think about how your majesty will react when he knows he has made a wrong decision."
Fang Xuanling closed his eyes and said to Tang Hao after a long time: "it''s not too late. Let''s go to see your majesty. It''s related to your Majesty''s face. Don''t spread it."
"It''s late. I know everything. Who else do you expect not to know? Your majesty made a public order in my little temple outside the city to show the majesty of the royal family. It is said that the Tang family should be happy. At least they can make huge profits for ten years heartlessly, but I''m not happy."
Fang Xuanling said with a bitter smile, "I''m afraid it''s not so easy to make huge profits. Come on, let''s go to the palace with me. After this loss, your majesty should wake up. After all, he is alone and can''t control the heart of the whole world."
They came to the palace again in a carriage. Tang Hao and Fang Xuanling can go in directly with the token, but they don''t. In the confused eyes of the guard, he took out an official ultimatum and formally asked for advice.
Li Zhi was also very confused when he saw their official ultimatum. Shouldn''t Tang Hao cry, hold his mother''s legs and beg for a way to live for his shop? Why such formal etiquette?
The empress''s eyes moved up and down. If Tang Hao came alone, it can be said that Tang Hao was forced to wear official clothes and asked his majesty to think about his achievements so as to reduce the tax rate a little.
But he is not alone, and Fang Xuanling is there. Both of them are in a formal duet pattern. There must be a ghost here.
"Your Majesty, these two people are not good people today. You are ready. An old fox and a little fox come together. You''d better prepare early. If my guess is correct, they came for your will today."
Li Zhi laughed and said: "If you want to break through from me, you can''t break the sky. I didn''t go down at all when I tripled the tax rate. If you dare to plead, I''ll double it. Fang Xuanling is eloquent, Tang Hao is eloquent, and I''m good at talking. Although I''m not afraid, I have to guard against it. It''s uncertain that these two people are those black hearted nobles who find lobbyists, and there is a huge collection of interests behind them Regiment, this confrontation has not appeared for several years. "
"Now I''m excited to see how they talk about changing the tax rate. I just don''t agree. Let''s see what they can do to me."
"In fact, destroying this luxury will do no harm to the country." the empress frowned and said, "why do I have a very bad feeling? I always think they won''t do things so easily. Tang Hao refused to do such a thing. What do they want to do?"
"Ha ha, if Wei Zheng can do it, Fang Xuanling and Tang Hao won''t, especially Tang Hao, who can be called by the board."
"Fang Xiang, your majesty, what will be your reaction when you hear us play? I''ll rely on you today. If you''re not here, your majesty will definitely be angry. Maybe he''ll beat it out in court. The younger generation will have no face to see people." Tang Hao whispered with his head down.
"We need to think of a way to make your majesty feel that he is wrong without hurting his face. What do you think is the way?" Tang Hao whispered to Fang Xuanling. With Duan Hong''s footsteps, they followed step by step.
"You are young and a popular man in front of the temple. It''s not a shame to be beaten. If the problem is not solved, there will be endless future trouble. I feel that the commercial law of the Tang Dynasty needs to be comprehensively improved. It''s better for you to take the lead and formulate an advanced law. Now the law has been used for more than 80 years and has not been revised. I think it''s time to re formulate the law."
Fang Xuanling was right.
