Everything is business as usual!

——Wait until this king comes back, and then slowly plan this matter.

What sustains a country is not the military, but taxation.

Without taxes, you cannot support the army or the officials; you cannot build roads, water conservancy projects, or build cities... In a word, without taxes, a country will not be a country.

Unless there are emergencies, state expenses are almost constant with little fluctuation.

The fluctuations in taxes will be greater.

Taxation is related to the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty. If the aristocratic families receive less, they must make up for it from the common people. If the common people are asked for too much, the convenience of the people will not be enough.

Then the people couldn't bear it anymore and raised the flag to rebel.

The country is overturned and the dynasty is changed!

This is a strange circle.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer.

The country is caught in the middle and is in a dilemma.

Moreover, by this time, the expenses of most countries are countless times higher than when the country was founded. Taxation is absolutely necessary.

Who to operate on?

Nian Xu ordered Sun Shi to implement the New Deal, but Sun Shi's attitude was to attack the rich and the common people at the same time.

As a result, things went wrong when the New Deal was implemented...

The rich were unscathed, but the common people suffered heavy losses.

In the end, the New Deal was denounced by the people as a law that harmed the people and ended hastily.

The law cannot be enforced if it is not accepted by the people!

This is King Qin’s summary of the lessons of the Southern Zhou Dynasty’s New Deal.

Without a bureaucratic class with strong execution capabilities, all laws and policies are just for show. Local bureaucrats will even regard these laws and policies as tools to make money and exploit the people even more.

So, want to innovate!

Officials first!

After packing the letter, King Qin walked over with the candlestick.

Ah Liang was sleeping next to him, his mouth slightly open, looking extraordinarily honest.

King Qin pulled the thin quilt for him, walked to the edge of his bed, lay down, and closed his eyes.

In my mind, we are fighting with each other!

…

Jinzhou, Zhizhou Changxing is still awake.

He is looking at the map.

"The Northern Xinjiang Army has arrived at Songcheng. Once inside Songcheng, it is critical to go south. Reinforcements! The most important thing is reinforcements!"

His finger stopped at Songcheng on the map and he frowned.

The sound of Dongdongdong’s footsteps came.

A clerk appeared outside the door, "Zhizhou, a scout from the Northern Xinjiang Army suddenly appeared below the city."

"oh!"

Chang Xing raised his head and asked, "Can we go?"

"Not leaving!"

“Go check it out!”

…

The city head was now brightly illuminated by torches.

"Zhizhou!"

Guard Huang Zhang had arrived a long time ago, his armor and clothes were neat and he looked majestic.

"how?"

Chang Xing walked to the edge of the battlements, held the city head with both hands and looked into the distance.

The moonlight was good, and I could see more than a hundred horsemen cruising not far away.

"The army is right behind!"

"You can still serve as an official if you surrender now. If you wait until the city is destroyed, it will be too late!"

After some provocation, the Northern Xinjiang army scouts disappeared into the distance.

"This is harassment, trying to make our soldiers panic."

"This is a tired strategy!"

Several officials who came after hearing the news were in Didigu.

"Look at the city."

Chang Xing ordered: "Take turns to rest. In addition, if there is a small group of enemy troops, you don't need to pay attention."

"yes!"

After returning to Zhouli, Chang Xing was no longer in the mood to plan the battle, so he went back to rest.

When he got home, his wife was still waiting for him.

"Why don't you sleep?"

Chang Xing took off his outer robe.

His wife helped him undress and said, "I was confused in the lake before and woke up when I heard the commotion outside."

"It's the scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army who are harassing us, it's okay!"

After untying his belt, Chang Xing pulled his hands from his sleeves and took off his outer robe.

"Is it dangerous?" The wife was a little worried, "It was said that King Qin defeated Yezhou in three days!"

"Yezhou underestimated the enemy."

Chang Xing sat on the edge of the bed and took off his pants.

"Wash your feet?" the wife asked.

"No more washing." Chang Xing shook his head, "I'm tired."

"good!"

After going to bed, Chang Xing became quiet as soon as he lay down.

I don’t know how much time passed, but when my wife was lost in the lake, she suddenly heard him say:

"There are a bunch of pigs all over the temple!"

…

Years of habit made King Qin get up very early.

He carefully glanced at A-Liang, and seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he tiptoed out of the tent, shook his head at the guards outside, "Keep your voice down."

He left the tent for more than ten steps before he drew his sword and started practicing.

After practicing the sword technique, he was already sweating on his forehead.

"Your Highness's perseverance is truly rare." The old thief praised.

It is absolutely impossible for him to wake up so early every day for many years to practice.

"When you know what you are shouldering, you will naturally be diligent."

King Qin sheathed his sword.

The so-called perseverance is actually driving force.

Without motivation, no one will stick to something for a long time.

When Ah Liang woke up, the first thing he did was to go out and look for him.

"Aye!"

"Are you up? Take a shower and get ready for breakfast."

The King of Qin transformed into an old mother and took good care of his son.

After breakfast, the scout came to report.

"Your Highness, Han Bi led an army of 70,000 to cross Yingshui."

King Qin mounted his horse and looked south.
