Chapter 44 Taxation
After he said these words, he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter in his heart. Since he had made up his mind to assist the Princess of Xining, King Guangning and others in the rebellion, he would naturally not go back on his words.
Even if he cannot unify the world, he will at least turn the Zhou Dynasty upside down, and maybe there will still be a chance.
"What should we do next?" Xuanyuan Min calmed down and then looked at Song Tianlin. She couldn't make up her mind and could only ask.
"What has happened has happened, and we have no way out. We will immediately notify the Jin Yiwei and arrest them all, regardless of whether they are your senior brothers or sisters. If you don't have this intention, how can you control the world?"
"These people are all impatient and have not considered at all that these people are greedy people. At this time, they actually want to rebel."
In a mansion in the imperial city, an ordinary-looking old man was playing a game of chess. An old man next to him nodded slightly in agreement.
"However, I am also surprised. Why is he so bold? With his character, even if the world is in chaos, he will not do such a crazy thing."
"This is not surprising. There were only four dynasties in the Zhou Dynasty. How could it be destroyed so early? Your Majesty's strength far exceeds our expectations. If you underestimate the enemy, you will definitely pay a heavy price."
If the identities of these two elders were revealed, everyone in the world would be shocked, because these two elders are their trump card.
As long as they are here, no one in this world can even think of entering.
"Your Highness, there is news, there is news!"
Several imperial guards outside the door hurried over, each carrying a box with an imperial flag hanging in the box.
It seems to have come from the south.
The two people placed the box on the ground, and then opened it carefully. They saw a dry tree root lying in the box, but Song Tianlin's eyes lit up.
"Everyone else, please step back!" Yang Qi said to the people around him. He knew that he should not spread the news.
"What on earth is going on?" Xuanyuan Min looked at Mu Qianxi and asked.
Although he has never seen such a plant, Xuanyuan Min is not a dead person. Everything he does has his own reasons.
"Sweet potatoes are an exotic crop. Its fruits can satisfy hunger. The most important thing is that sweet potatoes can grow in some harsh lands. With sweet potatoes, we can ensure that civilians will never go hungry."
Li Qiye moved it to the outside world so carefully, which made many people think that Li Qiye was a madman.
Is there such a magical thing in the world? If a small piece of grass can really feed everyone in the world, why hasn't anyone noticed it before?
"Be patient, a new miracle is about to appear!" Song Tianlin finally made some contributions to the people of the world.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Chen Heng understood that the reason why he appeared here was not just to fight for a breath, but to do something.
"Last night, King Guangning colluded with Xi Mo and threatened to leave the Zhou Dynasty. This is an act of rebellion!"
Although they had a fight in the court, it was their internal strife after all, and it would never break up the Zhou Dynasty.
But since King Guangning and others have done such a thing, no wonder they want to take action in advance.
"Your Highness, now that we have rested here for a day, we have accumulated a lot of military strength, which is enough to cope with the situation at hand. Let our military people handle it!"
The Minister of War also spoke at this time.
Don’t you just want to get more money from His Majesty?
"When did the Ministry of War become so courageous? We are the household department responsible for the world's silver coins. Do you know how much silver coins we have in our warehouse? If we don't even have a chance to escape, how can we fight?"
There were different opinions in the court. Some people advocated war, some advocated surrender, and some advocated fishing in troubled waters.
"I want to consider this matter again and discuss it with the ministers tomorrow." Xuanyuan Min said, now she is really not used to this dragon chair.
When he can't make up his mind, he will try every means to delay the problem, and then ask Song Tianlin for advice on how to deal with it.
"What do you think?" After Song Tianlin learned about this, he didn't say anything to him, but tested her from the side.
He cannot help her forever, otherwise Xuanyuan Min will become his puppet.
"We want to take action, but we don't have money." She said hesitantly. She didn't want to take action, but looking at this scene, she felt it was reasonable.
"If you have the decision, you can take action."
Song Tianlin doesn't care about those external things. He can handle anything, but all he needs is an answer.
"If we don't fight, when they grow up, it won't be that easy for us to get rid of them." Song Tianlin was not joking. King Guangning had so many backers, and he also had royal blood in his body.

If he really succeeded, the consequences would be disastrous, so Xuanyuan Min would take action against him.
"Okay, let me see how these people were fought. I want to see what this earth-shattering army looks like."
Song Tianlin did not intend to take action himself, but wanted his soldiers to take action first.
After training for so long, they have learned everything they need to learn.
"However, they have only received six months of training. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to ask them to do such hard work now?"
She was a little hesitant. After all, she had spent a lot of money to form this army, and Xuanyuan Min also wanted to see how powerful this army was.
Seeing Song Tianlin's confident look, she really believed it this time.
"Your Majesty wants to impose a trade tax?"
"Did you make a mistake? You also need to pay taxes when doing business?"
"The most humble merchant status has been abolished, and children of the merchant clan are also qualified to become officials."
Everyone was shocked by this ranking. They never imagined that the rumors were so true.
"If you make such a fuss, it will definitely cause an uproar, and then you will definitely have more and more enemies."
Xuanyuan Min shook her head. She couldn't figure out how Jiang Chen could have such courage and dare to make an enemy of the entire world?
"Otherwise, we may never complete the change."
"It's simply a matter of life and death. The Holy One's move obviously violates the rules set by the ancestors. Does the Holy One want to ignore the rules set by the ancestors?"
"How can a group of humble businessmen obtain the same qualifications as us? I won't give it up!"
All the scholars were talking about it, thinking that His Majesty was contemptuous of them.
They have always been trampled on by others, but no one expected that they would also have the opportunity to take the literary test, which immediately put them on the same level.
