Zhongjing, Chengtian Palace.

"Your Majesty! All the prefectures and counties near Jinling have begun to implement new tax laws, and the people praise Your Majesty for his great grace!"

"Your Majesty, the tax silver in Qilu should be shipped tomorrow. This is very rare. Your Majesty is good at supervising taxes."

"Your Majesty, the same is true for the tax and silver in Sichuan. Moreover, all officials in Sichuan said that the new tax law is very popular. Not only the people are very happy, but even the big merchants are actively and enthusiastic."

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Qianyuan, sitting on the dragon throne, listened to the words from the ministers below. His face stretched a lot. His face, which was already a bit gully, seemed to be flat, and he felt relaxed.

You should know that the changes in tax laws are earth-shaking. Looking at all dynasties, tax laws are often the key to the rise and fall of a dynasty. Today, if your own reforms are successful, the world of the Great Power seems to be continued smoothly and smoothly.

I've gotten rid of my heart!

Tax law, who doesn’t know the importance of this?

At present, Zhao Qianyuan is making great moves, especially to use Tang Xianglong, the youngest cabinet master. His determination is evident. But this change is definitely not as simple as imagined, and there must be many tricks to think of.

Who is willing to sit still and wait for death?

Who would like to give money to others for nothing?

Just talk about the past, there were nine sons in the world, and each of them had one. The eldest son, King Fu, was easy to deal with. This guy was helpless, and it was better to be by his side, but the other sons were not a good deal of fuel.

The most special thing about that one by one is that Zhao Qianyuan also allowed these sons to raise soldiers, which is the most incomprehensible thing.

Why did the civil turmoil in the empire come about?

It’s not that all the vassal kings have soldiers on their hands, otherwise how can they move?

There are not many disasters for the vassal kings before. I think it can be solved with just one move, but the vassal kings cannot raise soldiers. If they do not have private soldiers, wouldn’t they be unable to cause trouble?

However, Zhao Qianyuan seemed to not understand, and still asked his sons to raise soldiers, which made too many people unable to understand.

actually……

What is a soldier?

What you need most for raising soldiers is money!

If there is no money, what else can those soldiers?

Where does the money come from?

In the past tax laws, although the vassal kings could not intercept tax silver by themselves, everyone tacitly agreed that the vassal kings cooperated with local gentry and merchants, and the money turned a blind eye to their pockets.

As for the Wu family, they were openly intercepting it, and the excuse was simple, that was, to raise soldiers and guard against the northern barbarians.

But now, the biggest benefit of the tax law reform is here.

If you take action against the wealthy gentry and merchants, these vassal kings will suffer losses directly. This is actually what Zhao Qianyuan wants to do the most. At this point, the soldiers he had raised before, hehehe...

If you want to continue joining the army, then come to the imperial guards.

Zhao Qianyuan had already thought about it early in the morning and even had everything under control. However, there was still some point in the reform of the tax law, that is, how to do the details?

To give ideas and give ideas, this is the simplest thing. As long as you are not stupid, you will know it. People can always think of various moves, but how can you implement these moves well?

Let’s talk about the current tax law, everyone understands the benefits of taxing large investors, but how can it be implemented?

"Grandpa Emperor, grandson thinks that although Duke Xianglong is diligent and conscientious, he is also a great hero who is in a difficult situation... However, he has such ambition, but he has fewer means. Grandpa Emperor thought of some insignificant tricks and asked Grandpa Emperor to take a look. If he said something bad, Grandpa Emperor should not scold his grandson.

First, Duke Xianglong must go to Jiangnan.

The rich land in Jiangnan has many large tax households, which is also the most difficult.

Then, my grandson thought, it would be better to do a game here in Jiangnan.

Xianglong Gong is very righteous, so naturally, there are people who have to plan to assassinate him, but why do we have to wait for someone to come? Why do we plan it ourselves, on the one hand, it will also relieve Xianglong Gong's danger. The so-called induced snake out of the cave is also the case. Through this battle, we can eliminate the people who want to assassinate Xianglong Gong.

On the other hand, if Mr. Xianglong was stabbed, if he died, our new tax law would naturally fail, and no one would dare to plan for the emperor's grandfather in the future. But what if Mr. Xianglong didn't die?

I think the emperor's grandfather understood that if Mr. Xianglong still died after experiencing an assassination, then, if the grandson dares to say that all walks of life in the world will obediently pay the tax and silver, no one dares to refuse.

The truth is, Grandpa Emperor naturally understands it, so grandson just says something...

I wish my grandfather all his wishes come true and he will live longer than the southern mountain."

Zhao Qianyuan couldn't help but recall a superstition he had received before, which was from his favorite granddaughter Yaoyao, and Yaoyao told this method in it.

Assassination!

He pretended to assassinate Tang Xianglong, the imperial envoy, but actually protected Tang Xianglong.

As long as the imperial envoy does not die, all the corpses in the world will hand over the silver, and then the change in tax law will be made.

What a great solution!

When Zhao Qianyuan saw this superstition, he was extremely happy, but at the same time he was a little helpless. Why is Yaoyao not a boy?

If Yaoyao is a prince, then Zhao Qianyuan will dare to establish a crown prince now, and Prince Ning is the crown prince. In the future, Yaoyao will ascend the throne to the great treasure. Our Daqi will have been in a state of great success for thousands of years.

The truth here is simple, simple, and difficult, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it.

The simplest point is, if Tang Xianglong does not die, then who dares to disobey the new tax law?

Whoever disobeys the new tax law is just like talking about it. Is it a big deal to have a lot to do with the assassination of the imperial envoy Tang Xianglong?

This is the most obvious and direct and effective method. Zhao Qianyuan is really...oh, why is Yaoyao a girl?

I have no choice but to do something next.

"Is the imperial envoy good health?" Zhao Qianyuan asked.

The officials in the hall were naturally very active.

"Report to Your Majesty, the injury of the Imperial Commander is no longer hindered."

"Your Majesty, it all depends on the Wudang disciple Li Qingxu. This man caught up with the beast trainer and took back the medicine after a fierce battle."

“Very good.”

"Your Majesty, Wudang has made great contributions to the assassination of the imperial envoy this time."

"Well, what other hall do they want to build?"

"Your Majesty is so kind."

Tang Xianglong survived the disaster, which everyone in the world could see, but naturally the people in the world could not see it. Zhao Qianyuan and Zhao Mengyao had already made plans and everything was planned.

And that Li Qingxu... In fact, no one would have thought that the beast master of the brocade robe was Zhao Mengyao's, and even the emperor Zhao Qianyuan didn't know.

So, naturally, Tang Xianglong was safe and sound, but where would he go next?

"When will the imperial envoy return to Beijing?" Zhao Qianyuan felt that Tang Xianglong was already good and could come back and have some rest.

But the ministers all said.

"this……"

"I really don't know."

"Tang Xianglong... I have the foundation!"

"speak!"

"It's almost the Double Ninth Festival. As I know, there is a Double Ninth Festival poetry meeting in the Ziyang Academy of Hankou every year, which is said to be a poem meeting, but in fact, it always talks about some literary theories, and many great scholars are present. This time, I think that the imperial envoy may go down the river and participate in a Double Ninth Festival poetry meeting."

"Oh~" Zhao Qianyuan roughly understood as soon as he heard this.

I think it is very likely that Tang Xianglong went there, and the Double Ninth Festival is very famous.

Where the Hankou River meets, there are many people bustling with each other, and there are countless scholars among them. The Double Ninth Festival poetry meeting is the name of the world. Many scholars will talk about poetry and write articles at this poetry meeting, and they can also talk about what they see in the world.

And Tang Xianglong was the youngest cabinet master in the Great Qi Empire, so there was naturally a big problem here.

His disciples are not enough, to put it bluntly, but his connections are still weak. If he can meet a few scholars he can see from this poetry meeting, then Tang Xianglong might be able to create a Tang party in the future.

It is not necessary to form cliques for personal gain. This is the rule of the court for all ages, but unfortunately, Zhao Qianyuan understood very well that the more you told people not to do anything, then they just had to do it, because if they didn't do it, it would be more troublesome and more difficult to deal with.

Tang Xianglong has not yet grown up, so how can he continue to implement the tax law changes?

Therefore, Zhao Qianyuan thought it would be better to turn a blind eye to this matter.
