Chapter 7 Calm down the hearts of the people

At noon the next day, Zhou Chuan woke up slowly. The old servant Zhang Long had been serving his body. It seemed that the eunuchs were not all treacherous. Zhou Chuan thought that there were many eunuchs in his previous life, although they had different opinions, they were very loyal.

"Your Highness, you are awake." Zhang Long bowed and asked someone to serve Zhou Chuan to get up.

"No hurry, you can bring the royal decree I wrote yesterday."

Zhou Chuan raised his hand and waved it. It was a good night's sleep, and he became much more energetic. Compared with yesterday, he looked more charming.

Sitting beside the dragon's bed, quietly watching the king's order written yesterday. Zhang Long was grinding beside him, and his face was a little calmer. For him, Zhou Chuan is good, he is good.

Although eunuchs have no offspring and their physical defects have mostly developed their dark character, their loyalty to the royal family is beyond the reach of others.

Not long after, outside the Imperial Study Room, two figures walked up to me, bowed respectfully, and did not speak.

"What did the Minister of Personnel do? You are very good, your whole family pretended to die and escaped."

Zhou Chuan raised his head, with his sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, and his appearance was quite emperor-like.

"Your Highness, the old minister, who is favored by the former king, dares not overcome it at all. It's just a pity that Wen Xiang is strong and strong, and blood is splattering the Hall of All People."

Wu Xiu sighed deeply and looked sad. Although Wen Xiang did not have a deep relationship with him, their political views often coincided with each other. The two were friends in the court, but unfortunately, a generation of virtuous prime minister ended up like this and was dismembered by the traitor Five Horses.

"The Wen Xiang is a model of the ministers of my Wuzhou Dynasty. I should be rewarded. If the younger generation has talents who can be created, they should receive the emperor's grace and prosper for generations!"

Zhou Chuan stood up and said solemnly. In any dynasty, such people will be passed down through the ages. His spirit will never be corrupt. His descendants enjoy the blessings of their ancestors. This is also human relations. This is what they deserve!

Of course, for Zhou Chuan, it may be more out of guilt, and the Wuzhou Dynasty felt guilty towards such a virtuous prime minister.

However, for those rioters who are plotting against rebellion, they must be taken seriously and must not be ignored.

However, what should be killed and what should be released must be discussed with the court officials. After all, the Wuzhou Dynasty was not a single city, and someone needed to maintain a far-reaching security.

All important officials in the royal city will basically be executed if they plan to rebel. This is certain. If they do not die, they will give other people who have this idea an illusion that the consequences of rebel are so small.

Then the Wuzhou Dynasty will be in chaos.

Different positions and different perspectives of looking at problems are different. Zhou Chuan now must consider the overall situation and cannot rely solely on his own preferences. This is the real emperor.

"Your Highness, the old minister thanked Your Highness for his behalf and his descendants."

The Minister of Personnel, Wu, quickly thanked the emperor for his kindness. The commendation he promised in person like Zhou Chuan was rare in ancient times, but as long as he had it, even the cruel emperor would not regret it. Therefore, Wu performed such a great gift.

This means that Zhou Chuan remembers loyal ministers in his heart and is also an emperor who values ​​the foundation of the country. Isn’t it a blessing for his ministers to serve such emperors?

"Have the list of officials from the Ministry of Personnel been sorted out?"

Zhou Chuan sat down slowly and asked about what Wu did. Today he called Wu Xuwei, which was the list of the Ministry of Personnel.

Should be killed, kill!

This award, award!

In his heart, the Minister of Personnel Wu was a loyal minister. Although his ability was not particularly outstanding, this person had good ability to transfer to an official and was deeply trusted by Zhou Chuan's father. Even the transfer of officials below the fifth rank did not require the king's order. Wu decided for himself, which shows how much trust he trusted him.

"Your Highness, I have brought the list too, but the list recorded was burned by the thief of the Shabao, and all the list on this list is the wings of the Shabao thief."

Wu Sui looked angry and gritted his teeth in his words, wishing he could swallow his flesh and beat him up.

"Re-appointment, dispatch officials who were originally removed, and also announce the public about Shaba's plot to rebel, and then pass on the orders of various places. All taxes will be exempted within a year, and there will be no additional taxes."

Zhou Chuan nodded and decided to use thunder to calm all hidden dangers in China.

Zhou Chuan stood up again, holding the hand that Wuxi said: "It is an extraordinary time to act special. This time, everything will be simple. In addition, I need you to publish my edict and publish it. I want all the people to hear and see it within seven days of the Wuzhou Dynasty!"

When he saw this, he immediately knelt down. Zhou Chuan made a personal announcement. He was a minister and naturally did not dare to sit down. What's more, Zhou Chuan still performed the king's order. In addition to not ascending the throne, Zhou Chuan is now the unscrupulous king of the Wuzhou Dynasty.

Zhang Long, Meng Yi and several maids and guards standing beside him knelt down together, Zhou Chuan coughed twice and cleared his throat.

Then he spoke: "In times of difficulties, the dynasty is only a matter of people's heart, and the benefits are to cut off gold. Fortunately, the former kings protect him, and all the rebellious ministers were killed. I have heard that the people only seek food, clothing, housing and transportation, and my heart is burning. I specially issued this order. From now on, all the people in the Wuzhou Dynasty will never increase their taxes. I hope the Wuzhou Dynasty will prosper! "

Zhou Chuan's attack was to calm the people's hearts as soon as possible. He originally wanted to wait until he ascends the throne before he says it, but considering the upcoming demon shadow forces, only this move can quickly calm the people's hearts and avoid an uprising from happening again.

After hearing this, my whole body trembled and my eyes were filled with mist.

My mind is full of the saying "Never add fu"!

In fact, the so-called never adding tuition is just a game of words, because taxes are always separate.

Taxes are used for the state, to put it bluntly, for the entire Wuzhou Dynasty, not for individuals.

As for Fu, this is for the king to use for personal use, such as repairing a royal tomb. In short, it is for the pocket money given to the king. It has nothing to do with the dynasty itself and does not conflict.

The key to the problem is that you can collect taxes if you don’t collect taxes! It’s just a different statement, but in this world, basically no one knows the trick of changing concepts.

Benevolent government!

In what he did, Zhou Chuan's image suddenly rose to the point of an ancient wise ruler.

"Your Majesty's benevolence and politics are comparable to those of the ancient sage king." Wu Suowei kowtowed three times in a row. He thought this was the right thing, not only him, but all the people of the Wuzhou Dynasty should do so.

Zhou Chuan knew that once he never added this sentence, he would not have to worry about the appearance of the grass-headed king in various places. At least until Zhou Chuan was so stupid that he hated people and ghosts, he would not have to worry.

And he didn't say anything about the name "Your Majesty" that Wu wanted to pass the way forward. Anyway, except that he had not ascended the throne, he was nominally the new king of the Wuzhou Dynasty.

"You need to follow up on this matter yourself. The faster the better. You must let all the people of the entire Wuzhou Dynasty know about this royal order."

Zhou Chuan helped him up and couldn't kneel up for a long time. This matter is of great importance and there must be no mistakes. This must be done by civil officials who have always been famous among the people.

"Meng Yi, how did you collect the information about the Demon Shadow Force that you asked you to collect?"

After Wu left with the king's order, Zhou Chuan asked Meng Yi questions.

At this critical moment, Zhou Chuan didn't want to be afraid of the power of the Demon Shadow when he was doing what he was doing.

"Your Highness, the investigation has been completed. After the Demon Shadow Force succeeded, it led to chaos within the Wuzhou Dynasty, with wars everywhere rampant, and bandits everywhere, and the situation at the border was even more unoptimistic. According to the scouts, the Fenglin Kingdom had already recruited troops and was recruited. They continued to transport food and arms to the front line, but they were afraid that there would be a big war soon."

Meng Yi saluted and stood up and said, "I found out that the demon shadow forces may have colluded with Fenglin Kingdom, because the abnormal movements of Fenglin Kingdom happened to be very coincidental with the time when the demon shadow forces invaded."

Zhou Chuan nodded slightly. As he had expected, the Magic Shadow Force collected 2.7 million yuan of stones for a year for a country that was poorer than the Wu Zhou Dynasty, but the Wu Zhou Dynasty only had 2 million yuan of stones, which was obviously unreasonable.

However, with Meng Yi's information, everything makes sense. The demon shadow forces are openly robbing, but secretly colluding with Fenglin Kingdom to completely dissipate the Wuzhou Dynasty.

However, it is a great thing for Zhou Chuan, who is in the hands of the system. What he lacks the most now is reputation. With reputation, he can use the roulette lottery in the Zhutians, and fighting and occupying the city is obviously a shortcut to reputation.

It’s just a pity that there is not much reputation now, otherwise, I would be absolutely invincible to draw a few peerless forces to form an army.
