"You're going south?"

Xue Huairen and other cabinet ministers looked surprised.

"You want to go in person?"

They asked again.

"Yes, I want to go in person!"

Guan Ning responded directly, this was the decision he had to make.

The imposition of commercial taxes caused many problems, causing chaos in the six southern states and spreading to the entire south.

Although a large amount of tax money was brought back, a lot of it was also intercepted by local officials.

With the court's order, they can collect taxes from these traders openly and openly.

In the name of obeying the orders of the government, in fact, he is covering himself up with corruption.

This caused the officialdom, business circles, and local garrison forces to engage in special activities...

If you have to describe it, you can only use one word.

That’s chaos!

What a mess!

The people were miserable and put all the trouble on Guan Ning's head.

It’s okay to say that.

Because it only happened after Guan Ning issued the order to collect commercial taxes...

Now has come a time when it must be dealt with.

Both Wei and Liang were frightened and would not start a war for the time being, which bought him time to quell the rebellion in the south.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, in fact, the south did not really belong to the imperial court, and the government decrees were unclear and could not be enforced.

There are many problems here.

During the civil war at that time, many dignitaries in Beijing moved their families and property to the south.

In addition, the Xiao royal family and others in the south have gone into hiding and are making trouble in private.

There are too many miscellaneous things, all accumulated and exposed, and it is time to concentrate on solving them.

But it must be resolved by Guan Ning himself. He would not worry about sending someone else to do it.

Delaying it for too long is also very disadvantageous.

"Isn't this necessary?"

Xue Huairen said: "The major forces in the south are in civil strife and can no longer resist the imperial court. Just send people there."

"You think it's too simple."

Guan Ning said: "I will take this opportunity to eliminate the corruption in the south and solve all problems such as business gang collusion. In short, I will tear down the original order and then re-establish it."

"Follow the order I created!"

Hear this.

Only then did everyone understand what it meant.

Put the southern states completely under the control of the imperial court. You can have whatever you want, you can collect business taxes if you want, you can have food if you want...

It's not easy to do this.

But now is indeed the best time.

The chaos in the south provided favorable conditions for this.

Another grand parade was held just now, which shocked the courtiers. The internal unity was unprecedented, and prosperity and prosperity was no longer a dream...

The right time, place and people have arrived.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

Once stability is restored in the south, it will have a great positive effect on the prosperity of Dakang.

"It's not just business tax issues, but also official corruption, gentry monopoly, local separatism, etc. that need to be dealt with!"

Guan Ning's attitude was firm.

"But if you go there in person, what will the court do?"

Xue Huairen asked the most critical question.

Guan Ning is the king of a country, and his every move attracts much attention.

Leaving Beijing and going south is even more important.

This is no small matter.

Besides, is Your Majesty completely relieved?

You know, the new dynasty was established less than a year ago.

If you leave at this time, what should you do if someone has evil intentions?

"I'm leaving, and you are with me!"

Guan Ning said directly: "The purpose of setting up the cabinet is to help me handle government affairs. If I have to do everything myself, then what is the use of you?"

This is a bit direct, but it is true.

He is not a power-hungry person.

The emperor spends his whole day thinking about fighting for power and profit with his ministers, and there is no point in doing so.

He really didn't dare to do it before.

Because it's not straightened out.

What if someone takes the opportunity to support the restoration of the former Xiao royal family?

He knows that due to his pressure, no one dares to take any action now, but it is absolutely necessary to have such thoughts...

No more fear now.

The situation in the government was stable, and although the monarch and his ministers were not of one mind, they did not dare to have different intentions.

Even if there is anything?

Guan Ning was also sure of suppression because he controlled the army.

"This matter is settled."

Guan Ning said: "After I leave, the government affairs will be handled by your cabinet, with the chief minister as the main one and the others as auxiliaries."

"I am terrified."

Xue Huairen hurriedly knelt down.

In other words, after Guan Ning leaves, he will be the most powerful person.

This in itself is a great trust.

"This time I will first go to the south as a private visit."

Guan Ning said: "If any news leaks out, you guys will be responsible."

Everyone was slightly startled.

They understand.

To the outside world, the emperor was still there, but in fact he had left.

In a short period of time, there will actually be no problem and no one will doubt it.

Because His Majesty does not hold court meetings very often, only once every ten days and a half, unless there are important matters.

Under the current government system, the cabinet can handle most government affairs...

Ordinary courtiers cannot see it at all. As long as the insiders guard it, there will be no problem.

But it's hard.

There are many people in the palace, and secrets may be leaked at any time, which is beyond their control.

This is equivalent to putting a knife on their head!

Everyone looked solemn, but they didn't dare to say anything.

The central cabinet officials are the people at the pinnacle of national power.

Whether Guan Ning made a mistake in his choice is also a test...

No one dared to disobey the decision made by His Majesty, so it was settled.

Regarding the imposition of commercial tax, many people were opposed to it at the beginning, but now many people are in favor of it.

Because they have already reaped the dividends.
To be continued...
