The Great Tang: God-level Bear Child: Chapter 113 : After one day of hard work, 100,000 gold will be deducted from taxes!

Liu Zhenghui then sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, I'll make it up, I'll make it up! I won't miss a penny!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhenghui stated in detail how much money he had evaded taxes.

A full twenty thousand gold.

Li Chengfeng felt terrible when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, these ministers leaked so much money just by evading taxes?

But it is true, because these ministers are all the founding heroes of the Great Tang Empire.

Therefore, when Li Shimin rewarded the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, he bestowed them with pastures, iron mines, copper mines, gold mines, and so on.

At that time, these so-called pastures were just grasslands, and the so-called iron ore and copper mines were just broken mountains.

So not worth a few bucks.

Ten years have passed now.

Those pastures, iron mines, copper mines, and abandoned factories have been developed by these ministers in an orderly manner, and their annual income is basically more than ten thousand gold.

So some of them are actually very rich.

Moreover, in order not to let Li Shimin know that they are rich, they lied about their annual income and paid less tax.

Moreover, I don't know when this trend of tax evasion started and became so serious.

If it weren't for the severe drought this year, the treasury would need to spend too much money to relieve the victims, and Li Shimin wouldn't even bother to take care of these ministers' tax evasion.

However, today is different from the past. When there is a severe drought among the people and the people are suffering from disasters, these ministers are sitting on tens of thousands of gold and enjoying the glory and wealth?

This is not what Li Shimin wants to see!

That's why Li Shimin sent the eighth prince, Li Chengfeng, to rectify this trend.

Although it is said that Li Chengfeng can take 40% of the tax money recovered.

But Li Shimin didn't feel bad at all, because Li Shimin just wanted to rectify this trend.

…

Soon, Liu Zhenghui also ordered his servants to carry up two large boxes, which were full of golden gold!

Terrible, these ministers, just dodge taxes and evade taxes, so much gold? How rich should they be?

"Xing Guogong, send someone to my house!"

"Yes, Eighth Prince!"

Liu Zhenghui nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Li Chengfeng turned his head to look at Wei Zheng, and said, "Duke Zheng, take notes!"

"Okay, Eighth Prince, I'll write this down for the old minister! Duke Xing and Liu Zhenghui will pay 15,000 gold in taxes!"

While memorizing the records, Wei Zheng was chanting in bits and pieces.

"Okay, let's go, which one is better to go to next?"

Just when Li Chengfeng was thinking about going to that house to collect taxes, Liu Zhenghui suddenly ran over and said, "Eighth prince, the old minister also wants to report!"

"Oh?" Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, welcome Duke Xing to join our tax collection team!"

"Okay, Eighth Prince, the old minister has decided to report it to Duke Chen! That old thief controls the official salt and private taxes of the entire city of Chang'an. His tax evasion is even more serious!"

Liu Zhenghui was furious.

Because Liu Zhenghui himself was reported by Cheng Yaojin, he thought, why didn't he report it to others? How about winning the favor of the Eighth Prince?

In this way, maybe the emperor will blame himself!

Li Chengfeng's face was full of smiles, and he said: "Okay, let's go, then let's go to Hou Junji's mansion for a walk now!"

Li Chengfeng walked forward with his hands behind his back like a little adult.

Several ministers followed behind Li Chengfeng obediently.

Especially Cheng Yaojin and Liu Zhenghui, the two stared at each other, as if they wanted to fight on the spot!

…

In the blink of an eye, the day passed like this.

During this day, Li Chengfeng was busy from morning to night, and went to the homes of 8 ministers and asked them to pay all taxes.

Basically, every country has cases of tax evasion.

The most are as high as 20,000 gold, such as Hou Junji and others, and the few are about 1,000 gold in tax evasion, such as Qin Qiong and the others.

Relatively speaking, Qin Qiong can be said to be a fair and honest minister. The 1,000 gold is the tax he forgot to make up last year, and he plans to make it up together this year.

But since Li Chengfeng came to collect taxes in advance, Qin Qiong also made up for the taxes that were missed last year.

Because this is in Datang, unlike in the 21st century, every tax will be accurate to a penny.

In Datang, calculations are basically done manually, and if you are not careful, mistakes will occur.

In addition, it is enough for Li Shimin to deal with the government affairs. How can he have so many thoughts to manage the taxes paid by the ministers?

So Li Shimin just turned a blind eye and closed one eye, so be it.

However, as soon as Li Chengfeng stepped out, all the ministers immediately showed their disfigurement.

So much so that later, many ministers even joined Li Chengfeng's tax collection team.

Li Chengfeng didn't even need to take out his own notebook to read, he could have these ministers report each other, and then they would obediently make up for all the previous tax evasion!

…

After a busy day and a day's journey, Li Chengfeng was also very tired.

When returning to Zhenwang Mansion, Li Chengfeng bid farewell to Wei Zheng, UU reading www. uukanshu． com gasped and walked back!

"Eunuch Wu, water, I want to drink water!"

"Yes, Eighth Prince, I will get you some water right now!"

Seeing Li Chengfeng's return, Eunuch Wu immediately went out to greet Li Chengfeng jubilantly.

After pouring Li Chengfeng a bowl of tea, Li Chengfeng drank it up after a few gulps.

"Eighth Prince, it's been a hard day, have you eaten yet?"

Eunuch Wu asked with a smile on his face.

Li Chengfeng nodded his head and said, "I ate at Zheng Guogong's house! The food is okay!"

"By the way, Eunuch Wu, when I went to collect taxes today, did some people bring a lot of money to our Prince Town's Mansion?"

"Yes, yes, I have arranged for you to put it in the backyard of the Prince Zhen's Mansion!"

"Okay, take me to have a look!"

"Good Eighth Prince!"

Afterwards, Li Chengfeng and Eunuch Wu came to the backyard of the Prince Zhen's Mansion.

Li Chengfeng saw more than a dozen huge boxes neatly placed in the corridor in the backyard.

Some of these boxes contained ten thousand gold, while others contained several thousand gold.

Add up, at least one hundred thousand gold.

Li Chengfeng opened one of the boxes and saw a burst of golden light.

"Good guy, there are so many gold coins?"

"Unfortunately, these golds are just golden beans, not like that kind of big gold bricks, otherwise there are so many golds, it would be really scary!"

Because the alchemy industry in the Tang Dynasty was not well-developed, the gold they produced was darker gold, and there must be many traces of metal elements in it.

Otherwise, and one hundred thousand gold is not equal to one hundred thousand taels of gold.

At least, the Tang Dynasty did not have such a developed alchemy industry.
