"Yes, with an annual income of about 3,000 gold, according to the tax system of Datang Sancheng, the veteran will pay 1,000 gold in taxes every year, so the veteran does not evade taxes!"

Cheng Jin spoke righteous words, but his heart panicked.

Because in fact, the annual income of that iron mine was about 10,000 gold, but Cheng Yaojin lied about 3,000 gold in order to make more money. In this way, he could pay 2,000 gold less in taxes every year.

Although 2000 gold is just a little money for Li Shimin.

But over time, if you evade taxes and he also evades taxes, then the sum of these tax evasion money will add up to an immeasurable number!

In fact, this time, Li Shimin wanted to take advantage of the year of drought and Li Chengfeng's hands to rectify this corrupt atmosphere.

Let these ministers know the seriousness of tax evasion.

"Zheng Guogong, show your notebook to Lu Guogong!"

"Yes, Eighth Prince!"

Wei Zheng opened the small notebook in his hand and showed it to Cheng Yaojin.

I saw it said: Wei Zheng: Chang'an City Garment Workshop, 10,000 gold in tax repayment!

"One, ten thousand gold?"

"Ding, surprise from Cheng Yaojin, naughty value +80!"

Cheng Yaojin was completely shocked.

Then seeing Wei Zheng's upright expression, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but frowned tightly.

Did even Wei Zheng, a greedy old man, pay 10,000 gold in back taxes?

No, it must have exploded.

The iron mine in Cheng Yaojin's family, the annual bills, only me and Xing Guogong Liu Zhenghui know.

Even the emperor doesn't know about my tax evasion, so how could the Eighth Prince know about it?

So Cheng Yaojin still clenched his teeth, and said: "Eighth Prince, all the taxes that the old minister should have paid have been paid! The old minister has not owed the tax to Datang!"

Cheng Yaojin still refused to admit it, he thought that Li Chengfeng would have nothing to do with this.

However, Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and said: "Cheng Yaojin, you are serious, do you want me to tell you what you did back then?"

"What did the old minister do back then? Everything the old minister did was good for Datang!"

"Okay, if that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Afterwards, Li Chengfeng stretched out his small hand, took out a thick little book from his jacket pocket.

It says "Those Years, Cheng Yaojin's Wicked Things"!

"Ding, surprise from Cheng Yaojin, naughty value +30!"

What, is this little book again?

Cheng Yaojin panicked in his heart.

I still remember that when the Eighth Prince listened to court on the first day, he took out many small notebooks like this.

After thinking about the crimes committed by many ministers before, could it be that the Eighth Prince even has mine?

Li Chengfeng coughed slightly, flipped through his notebook, and read: "Duke Lu of the Great Tang Dynasty has a gold mine! The family owns an iron mine, which was rewarded by the emperor Li Shimin as a reward for the founding of the country! The iron mine is located in a remote village in the south of Chang'an City Mountainous terrain!"

"In the beginning, the annual income was about 3,000 gold, and after three years, it rose to 10,000 gold! At first, according to the Datang Law, Lu Guogong only had to pay 30% of the annual tax, which is 1,000 gold, but as Lu Guogong's income increased, Lu Guogong tax, but still pay 1,000 gold!"

"Originally, Duke Lu needed to pay 3,000 gold in taxes every year, but now, he only pays 1,000 gold in taxes! This cycle has been seven years! It is equivalent to, Lu Guogong evaded taxes by 14,000 gold!"

"Ding, fear from Cheng Yaojin, naughty value +100!"

After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin panicked.

How could this be?

The income of my own family is actually calculated by the Eighth Prince?

But who told the Eighth Prince about this matter?

By the way, it must be that old thief Liu Zhenghui.

Well, Liu Zhenghui, you have evaded a lot of taxes yourself, and yet the villain is the first to file a complaint and tell the Eighth Prince about my tax evasion?

Huh, Huh...

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin's heart was about to explode.

Seeing that Li Chengfeng explained everything clearly, Cheng Yaojin didn't hide anything, and knelt down to Li Chengfeng on the spot.

Cheng Yaojin said: "Eighth Prince, this old minister knows his mistake! This old minister has indeed evaded taxes! Therefore, this old minister is willing to bear all the tax evasion!"

"Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier? You insist on letting me expose your faults before you confess?"

"Tax evasion, even in the Tang Dynasty, is a very serious matter. This time, the father is looking at the face of all of you who are the founding heroes, so he didn't go out personally, but asked me to collect and pay taxes on his behalf, otherwise he will be angry. If you kill the emperor, Cheng Yaojin will lose your head!"

"Could it be, Duke Yun who was beheaded just a few days ago, have you forgotten so quickly?"

After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin shivered instantly.

That's right, Duke Yun just asked to be executed a few days ago.

If you are still stubborn, you might lose your head!

After Yun Guogong was beheaded, he ransacked his home and confiscated more than 100,000 yuan, all of which were confiscated to the treasury~www.mtlnovel.com~ I only evaded taxes of 14,000 gold, and what should be handed over, still needs to be handed over!

Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath, and said: "Okay, the eighth prince, the old minister pays 14,000 gold in taxes, and in addition, compensates another 1,000 gold in interest, and the eighth prince, please forgive the old minister!"

"okay!"

Li Chengfeng nodded confidently, then turned his head to look at Wei Zheng, and said, "Duke Zheng, record Lu Guogong's tax payment!"

"Yes, Eighth Prince!"

Wei Zheng smiled cheerfully, and wrote in the small notebook: Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin: Chang'an City Iron Mine, 14,000 gold in tax repayment, and 1,000 gold as a bonus!

"Eighth Prince, look, it's finished!"

Wei Zheng handed the small book to Li Chengfeng to read.

Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, the next one!"

"By the way, Lu Guogong, remember to send someone to send all 15,000 gold to my town prince's mansion. If there is one gold missing, I will come back and find you to settle the score!"

"Yes, old minister, old minister, I will do as you ordered!"

Chen Yaojin immediately turned his head, looked at the housekeeper in his mansion, and said, "Steward Liu, go to the finance department, get 15,000 gold, and send it all to the Eighth Prince's Town Prince's Mansion!"

"Yes, Duke Lu!"

Steward Liu knew that now the emperor and the eighth prince were starting to investigate tax evasion, so he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly followed Cheng Yaojin's instructions.

However, just when Li Chengfeng was about to leave Duke Lu's mansion.

But Cheng Yaojin ran over and said, "Eighth prince, old minister, old minister wants to report!"

"Oh? Report? Okay, who do you want to report?"

Li Chengfeng looked at Cheng Yaojin with a full smile.
