Chapter 29 Push for the reform of the tax law!

"Your Highness, this..."

When the oily aroma was everywhere and the spicy peppery barbecue was handed to everyone, everyone subconsciously looked at each other, and then swallowed a big saliva at the same time...

"Come on! Try the spices in the Western Regions that I accidentally discovered in the frontier?"

Zhao Zheng smiled and raised his hand, signaling everyone to taste it, and then bit it without hesitation, chewing it in big mouthful, without waiting for everyone to react, and started moving first!

"Thank you for your reward!"

Seeing that His Highness was demonstrating first, everyone had no more concerns. They immediately bowed to thank him, then picked up the bamboo sticks in an orderly manner, bit a bite of the saliva-inducing barbecue from it, and chewed it in an instant.

“Um…”

In an instant, an indescribable sense of stimulation burst out from his mouth!

Everyone closed their eyes slightly, enjoying the unprecedented new flavor brought by this magical spice from the Western Regions!

"Your Highness, this spice... is really unique in flavor!"

Zhuge An immediately spoke out and praised His Highness, and admired His Highness's vision and keenness.

As he said that, he subconsciously looked at the bamboo sticks in his hand, but found that in the blink of an eye, the barbecue in his hand had already been eaten, and his mouth and tongue were still full of spicy feeling.

"Yes! Your Highness! If this spice works well, it will surely set off a food craze in the land of Kyushu!"

Hawking was even more eager to swallow his food. Even though his mouth was so hot that it was hot, he still couldn't hide his excitement!

Such special Western Region spices made Hawking think of the huge business opportunities hidden behind this small skewer!

Such deliciousness, if it can work well and take the opportunity to monopolize the right to trade spices in the Western Regions, what an incalculable huge commercial profit would it be?!

"Haha! No hurry! You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk one step at a time..."

Faced with the excited expressions of everyone, Zhao Zheng just waved his hand with a smile, but he had already had a complete and detailed plan in his heart.

"Qinchuan's most urgent task is to clear the business roads of Hulao! The first time the trading company was established, there were great restrictions on manpower and funds..."

Seeing that His Highness King Qin had arranged serious business, no matter how greedy they were, everyone put down the barbecue in their hands and listened carefully to His Highness's arrangements.

"I'm not in a hurry to operate such spices, but focus on Hulao Trading Road, and strive to completely open up Hulao Trading Road within one year... No! In half a year, you can do it!!"

Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth and directly doubled the opening time of Hulao Business Road from the originally planned year to only half a year!

In this way, the burden on Hawking will be heavier, and the funds and manpower required to complete this huge project will naturally increase!

"Military advisor, you have the full authority to coordinate this matter! You must mobilize the entire county to help the business community completely open up the Hulao business road within half a year!!"

Zhao Zheng naturally understood in his heart that it would be almost impossible to complete such a huge project in just half a year to rely on Hawking and the newly established Huaxia Trading Company alone!

Therefore, such major events still require the whole county to do its best and cooperate with the trading company to do their best!

"Here!"

In an instant, Zhuge An and Hawking both looked stern and said no!

"Unlocking the Hulao Business Roads is one of them! Now that the matter of disaster relief and people in the county has been properly handled, the tax law reform... should be officially put on the agenda!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the yard was shocked and their eyes changed!

It was because they all understood in their hearts that the tax law reform mentioned by His Highness was to use a knife to the entire Qinchuan clan and cut off the landlords and wealthy families to earn a new tax system!

Such an eternal plan can be said to have a single blow to the whole body!

It's only been more than three months since I entered Qinchuan. Is it suitable to have such a big fight and become an enemy of the entire Qinchuan clan?

"Your Highness! The tax law reform... In my opinion, this may be postponed for two years before doing this!"

Zhuge An, the veteran military advisor, was the first to speak out and dissuade him.

Now that I have just entered Qinchuan, I have only dealt with the matter of disaster relief and helping the people. The treasury is empty and the county is in ruins. If the war is provoked at this time and openly the enemy of the Qinchuan clan, would I be too anxious?!

"Yes, Your Highness, I still don't know much about the Qinchuan clan. I'm so angry that I'm afraid of chaos!"

As a wealthy family, Hawking didn’t know how strong and deep the foundations of these local aristocratic families were!

It can be said that every family has private soldiers, every household has a complete range of swords and bows, the population of the tribe is often tens of thousands, and there are countless tenants and farmers under its jurisdiction!

To put it the most bluntly, with the command of the clan leader, he could even quickly assemble a small army of thousands of people!

Even if such a small army has a large number of people and a very shortage of equipment, it is at most a peasant soldier, and it cannot be compared with the military that has been on the battlefield.

But it is because of the large number of people!

Although all of these aristocratic races are honest and seem to be extremely well-behaved.

But that is not really a matter of contacting one's own interests!

Although His Highness forced the Qinchuan tribe to donate grain before, he took the lead and donating some grain would not hurt his own muscles.

But the tax law reform is completely different from donating grain!

Donating grain is just a discount on some food, but the tax system kills the clans!

If it is true as Your Highness said, if you spread the vacancies and count the county land, you will not pay taxes based on the heads, but pay taxes based on the acres of land!

Such a fierce tax system can be said to have slashed above all the aristocratic races with one knife, almost the same as death!

Even Hawking asked himself, if the prefect of Quyang County wanted to do this, he would change the tax system to spread the tax into acres and calculate the tax based on the land!

Then the one who suffered the most was naturally the Huo family of Quyang’s first clan!

If this is true, I am afraid that Huo will be the first to stand up and turn the prefect against this prefect. How can I accept such a fatal act?!

Therefore, in Hawking's view, such an important plan for eternity must be planned slowly and quietly watched the changes!

How can we ignore it and act recklessly?

If you really act rashly, it will lead to a mutiny overnight, and many aristocratic races unite to resist... but what should you do?!

"Brother! I know you are eager to revitalize Qin Chuan, but it is better to be extremely cautious about such a major matter! Why not... write to the father and discuss with him?

Although Zhao Yun is ignorant, she also knows that the benefits and effects of this matter will be extremely far-reaching!

Therefore, while I was worried, I couldn't help but think of my father, thinking that such a major change should be discussed by my father!

Zhuge shook the feather fan lightly and analyzed it slowly like a clear and organized approach.

"But Your Highness is very well-organized, and often plans and then acts, and rarely acts recklessly! Therefore, after just a few words, I am very convinced that Your Highness must have made arrangements and respond to sudden changes in the situation! Therefore..."

Speaking of this, Zhuge looked at His Highness secretly and couldn't help but look full of admiration.

Then the rest of the people suddenly realized that they were just a leopard in the middle of their lives, and they really had a very shallow understanding!

With His Highness so meticulous and thoroughly planning, how can he do stupid and reckless actions?!

"Hahahaha! The military advisor really understands me!"

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing!

But he looked at the military advisor Zhuge An who was slightly bent, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Since I dared to act like this, I have made careful arrangements! What I asked just now was just hesitation!"

After saying that, Zhao Zheng suddenly waved his sleeves and said decisively as if he was determined!

"But after listening to the military advisor's words, he finally made a decision! Since tax reform is imperative, this will happen in the end! It is better to have long pain than short pain, but to take action first!!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zheng's face was rarely cold, and his eyes showed a bit of ruthlessness!

"I want to see if these Qinchuan tribes... can they still make a big difference?"

At this moment, Zhao Zheng finally made a decision in his heart, but it was unstoppable. He must promote tax reform!

At some point, since Zhao Zheng traveled through time, he had experienced ups and downs, and his heart became even colder.

Perhaps it was the dead babies in the ditch everywhere...

Perhaps it was the victims with pale faces and thin skin...

Perhaps it was the officials who were in vain...

Perhaps it was the aristocratic people in the fish countryside...

Or maybe it's just for your own interests...

When Zhao Zheng made the case to implement tax reform with a strong attitude at this moment, he had already made any preparations in his heart, blood-stained the ground!

After his thoughts were clear, he immediately shook his sleeves and settled down in peace!

"Within three days! I want all the detailed information of the Qinchuan clans!!"

Everyone in the yard was filled with sternness and immediately knelt on the ground and sang in unison!

"Here!"

...
