When Emperor Gengyuan heard that it was beneficial to his own practice of Taoism, he did not hesitate at all. He quickly asked the eunuch to write an edict, and personally stamped the jade seal.

Chen Shou walked out of Chunhe Palace slowly with an edict in his sleeve, and immediately accelerated his pace, with a hint of excitement on his face.

As expected, the emperor agreed to the emperor more than anyone else. He even gave him a look and sued him for a black lawsuit against the people in the Martial Arts Department.

However, seeing how Emperor Gengyuan was addicted to practicing Taoism, he probably didn't listen at all.

I have mastered an edict to collect business taxes from Hu merchants, which means I have a treasure pot. You must know that there are endless merchants in the Western Regions, and there are also Goryeo and Japan in the East.

Even in Hebei, many Khitan merchants went south. The Khitans have been in great success in recent years and have gradually boasted of their civilized etiquette.

The Great Qi needed to be on guard against the alien races in the northwest and be careful of the Tang Dynasty in the south. The Khitans were also overwhelmed by the rising Mongolia, so the relationship between the two countries has always been good, and they carefully maintained the relationship between the two countries.

Once the Khitan and the Great Qi war begin, the entire north will inevitably be in chaos. The Mongols who have long been eyeing each other are likely to take advantage of the situation to rise and become bigger.

The biggest profiter of peace between the two countries is the merchants of the two countries, especially those of Daqi. They went to the Khitan to buy ginseng, fur, animal tendons, and tiger bones...everything is a sky-high price when they bring back. And they only need to bring some wine, porcelain and silk tea from the Central Plains to make another big money.

Although there are often frictions or even small-scale wars in Hebei, it does not affect merchants' exchanges. These large merchants have bribed the armies on both sides, and instead monopolized the north-south trade routes and made more profitable.

The carriage squeaked and did not retreat to the summer palace, but came to Chen Shou's yard.

This is a newly bought courtyard, next to Wei Ning's mansion, which can be said to be very safe.

Tomorrow is the day when Chen Shou takes his concubine. The house is decorated with lights early. The inner courtyard is from the cross-yard. There are two new houses in the right courtyard. There are small houses that store things. On the left are the new houses where Hong'er and Lu'er live in, and the room is decorated happily.

The embroidered beds of the two were neatly decorated, and the beds were spotless. Even they were reluctant to sit on them, so they naturally would not let the maids help. They all took them half a day to decorate them.

The two little girls' boudoirs are not big, but they are very delicate. They have carefully cleaned up the two rooms inside and outside. The embroidered bed is full of red color, and there is a bunch of flowers on the dressing table. As soon as you walk in, you will feel a faint fragrance. Then a charming beauty will stand in the room. It is true that the gentle countryside can calm your soul.

The two sisters held hands and sat in the yard, not knowing what they were talking about, and covered their mouths and laughed at each other from time to time.

Chen Shou returned to the yard and saw two concubines who were about to pass the door. They were so harmonious and they were in a great mood. Peach blossoms and green willows, and apricot flowers were misty rain. Chen Shou suddenly remembered a poem: Falling flowers are independent, and the light rain swiftly flies together...

If there is a refreshing match in this yard of grape trellis...

It's amazing!

When the two of them saw him, they became shy, especially Lu'er, who could do anything to hang on Chen Shou on weekdays, and now they are shy with their heads down.

After all, it will be the last time to pass tomorrow. Chen Shou smiled and whistled at them, making the two girls even more blushed.

Only then did Chen Shou walk to the study with satisfaction and sort out what he wants to do tomorrow. The tax collection seems simple, but it actually has a lot of mystery.

First of all, you must have a strong tax supervision team. Otherwise, even if they dare not resist taxes directly, it would be very easy to collude with the yamen to evade taxes for themselves.

It's time to collect people again, and the team still needs to grow...

Chen Shou held his forehead and sighed deeply.

Chen Shou was worried about the acceptance of others, and someone was getting angry at the Secretariat Hall of the Central Secretariat.

"No! Absolutely no!" Wei Yunse angrily patted several cases, "Taxes are the foundation of my Great Qi. We will never allow this slander minister. Fortunately, the ministers are involved."

There were a bunch of tall documents on several cases, and they were almost fell down by Wei Yunse, the prime minister of the Great Qi Dynasty.

When the prime minister was angry, the people below were of course also shared the same hatred of the enemy, and they all expressed their firm opposition.

However, if they oppose it, no one dares to openly resist the order and disrespect the emperor with the imperial edict.

You know, although the old emperor was dizzy, he was not vague when he killed people.

As Emperor Gengyuan became older, more and more officials were beheaded and scouted by him. Everyone was afraid of being afraid to make them resist the edict.

Wei Yunse looked around and saw the faces of the people under his hands. He could see their harshness on the inside.

Chen Shou won several times. Although he won a rogue, the result was that he could not compare with the emperor's trust with him.

Since ancient times, there are only two types of people who have been trusted and close to the emperor, one is eunuchs and the other is a slander.

Chen Shou is the one who offers the elixir with the back of the four eunuchs' godfathers. It can be said that he is a purely lucky minister with an unprecedented and unparalleled treacherous man with a strong root.

"What are your ideas?" Wei Yunse asked in a deep voice.

The meeting hall, which was originally a little messy, suddenly became quiet. After a period of embarrassing silence, Liu Qin coughed lightly, "Yeah, there is no good idea now, so I can only continue to use the yamen to block him."

Wei Yunse was a little dissatisfied, but for a moment he couldn't think of any idea to take effect faster, so he had to nod.

"Oh, I was careless for a moment, and finally made this kid develop a climate. Although he was not old, he was very slick. Every time he won, he would make a little progress and then stop. If this person was not greedy, it would be difficult to be seized and beaten to death with one stick." Wei Yunse actually had the opportunity to completely press Chen Shou to death, but unfortunately no one took this little slander seriously at the beginning.

Now that he has moved taxes, it is the lifeblood of the bureaucratic group.

Why did you come from being an official for thousands of miles?

Wei Yunse and other officials are all children of wealthy families from all over the country, and they almost have a powerful family behind them.

These families control the taxi, farmers, and merchants in various places...

The gentry decided who could study, who could take the imperial examination, and who would pass the imperial examination. In this way, they monopolized most of the scholars, and then used their children as officials to enclose land, monopolize trade routes, suppress ordinary merchants, and mastered farmers and merchants.

Chen Shou started to touch on commercial tax, but he encountered their basic base, so the conference hall had such a big reaction.

Otherwise, he would have been so clever and bewitched the emperor, so what should I be afraid of? Everyone present knew that the old emperor had already exhausted his energy and died for a few more years. The first person the new emperor wanted to kill was Chen Shou.

This edict suddenly put the relationship between the two sides on a very tense opposite. This war without gunpowder has already begun in Bianliang.
