Zhu Youde approved it immediately, as it was all agreed upon, and then the memorial was handed over to the six ministers.
The emperor reduced the Dingkou tax for three years and increased the business tax by 30%. The taxes in the southeast began to recover this year and were on par with other regions.
Salt and iron are also sold exclusively.
Waiting for the six ministries to use the seal, he was rushed to inform the world by eight hundred miles.
This time there was no one to stop him, and all departments quickly followed the procedures. Zhu Youde's tax policy officially became the national tax policy of Daliang State, and commercial tax also became a regular tax.
"This happened!"
"It's really unexpected that the aristocratic family has bowed its head!"
"I heard that 30% is the bottom line of the family. Your Majesty finally gave in this time!"
"What a surprise. It's so difficult to make aristocratic families bow their heads. I didn't expect it to be done by His Majesty. From now on, the commercial tax has been settled. Anyone who doesn't pay the commercial tax is a tax rebel."
During lunch, the six ministers met in the corridor and felt incredible.
I feel like the aristocratic family is just like that, not very tough.
I thought I would fight against the emperor, but I didn’t rebel. It’s rubbish!
As for the increase in taxes in the southeast, these ministers are not surprised at all. You have brought up the Fire Dragon case to make the emperor look good. The emperor wants to teach you a lesson!
This is called what comes and goes. None of the ministers sympathized with the wealthy people in the southeast. Even Lu Shengzhi pretended that he couldn't see it and was as if he was blind.
Everyone's focus is still on the new commercial tax, which is of great significance. The imperial court has an additional tax, and the aristocratic families have bowed their heads and made concessions to the emperor.
As long as the emperor doesn't mess around, the royal family and the aristocratic families can be in a balance for a long time in the future, and ministers like them will have time to deal with government affairs slowly.
"I hope your Majesty will stop for a while!" Feng Bogong whispered.
The other ministers nodded one after another. This emperor is too difficult to serve and likes to mess around. It is really good luck to be able to bow the family's head this time.
They had no idea why Zhu Youde hated Cui Li. If they found out, they would have to blow up the pot.
That kind of method is really a huge insult to civil servants!
But Cui Li himself couldn't tell anyone.
With the release of the new commercial tax policy, the news soon spread throughout the Liang Kingdom, and the farmers couldn't believe it.
Your Majesty actually did not collect Dingkou tax for three years?
If you don’t have to pay taxes for the birth of a child in the next three years, can you allow people in your family who don’t have household registration to apply for household registration?
"Your Majesty is really kind to us and other people. It has never been heard of not collecting the Dingkou tax since ancient times. Although it is only for three years, it is enough. If you work hard for three years, you can save a lot of money. It will be enough to provide education for the children in the future.
Registered."
"That's the truth. Three years is enough for us to accumulate some money. Your Majesty is so kind to us and other people, so we should be loyal to Your Majesty."
"Yes, yes, I hope your majesty will live a long life!"
The common people are happy, but the wealthy businessmen are unhappy!
"The foolish king actually increased the business tax by 30%, which is unheard of since ancient times!"
"Why did the family pass it? How did it pass? I can't figure it out!"
"Stop talking, there is news over there, please obey me honestly!"
It's useless even if businessmen disagree, they have no right to speak.
The people and merchants each had their own ideas, but the most surprised ones were the envoys from various countries in Daliang.
These envoys are usually serious envoys, but they can turn into spies at any time!
In the Sifang Pavilion, Beiyan Ambassador Zhao Shanhe got the tax documents issued by Daliang and read them carefully!
"This Emperor Zhu is really awesome. The family actually agreed to increase taxes."
The man next to him smiled with thick eyebrows and big eyes: "Isn't this a good thing? Now that Daliang is rich, our country, Yan, can ask for more money and food. Emperor Zhu will not dare not to give it, otherwise I, Daliang's cavalry, will go south and destroy him."
The beam is right between the palms of your hands."
Zhao Shanhe said: "What you said is correct. Our cavalry of Yan State is invincible in the world. Daliang has no courage to compete with our country. However, it is not easy to dispatch a large army. Recently, I received domestic news that there are savages making trouble in the north. Your Majesty is very worried. I just
Because the treasury is empty and the weather this year is not good, there is a fear of famine."
Zhao Shanhe spoke firmly: "Liang Guo's offerings this year are particularly important and cannot be missed!"
"What a shame, the people of Liang are weak, but they occupy the most blessed land in the world. We, the people of the north, are strong, but we have to crawl on ice and snow in the north to survive. Your Majesty should have destroyed Liang a long time ago. In this way, our country, Yan, can dominate the world and enjoy the blessings.
, the people are also much more relaxed!"
Zhao Shanhe glanced at the other party, his eyes full of warning.
It's not that Beiyan doesn't want to go south, it's that Beiyan doesn't have the ability. Although Beiyan's cavalry is invincible in the world, the domestic economy is not good and cannot support a war to destroy the country. The domestic aristocratic and local wealthy families are not much better than Daliang.
Seeing that his subordinates had reacted, Zhao Shanhe softened his tone and said, "Don't talk nonsense like this. Let's think about how to ask for money and food from Daliang!"
"They dare not give it?"
"I may not be willing to give it, because I want a lot!" Zhao Shanhe said: "Go back, notify the Shanhaiguan Military Division, and lead the troops south. I need to put some pressure on the Daliang court!"
"yes!"
Zhao Shanhe stood up and walked out of the room. There were flowers and plants in the yard, which were extremely prosperous!
He sighed, the flowers and plants in Daliang were still in full bloom, but the sky in the north was already filled with wind and snow.
The Liang people were obviously cowardly, but they occupied the best land in the world. Such land should belong to their northern warriors.
Just as he was thinking about it, a servant announced: "Sir, someone wants to see you and is waiting outside!"
"Who?"
"He doesn't want to say it, but judging from his appearance and accent, he must be from the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhao Shanhe thought for a moment and then asked someone to come in. He was waiting in the middle hall. The person who came was wearing a large silk shirt, with an air of grace in his gestures, his face was white and beardless, and his words were extremely polite!
"Meet Ambassador Zhao!"
Zhao Shanhe said: "Sit down and talk, why do you want to see me!"
"A certain Li Shu came here specifically to address the doubts in the ambassador's mind!"
Zhao Shanhe smiled and said: "Why should I be doubtful?"
Li Shu smiled and said: "The ambassador has seen Daliang's business and tax documents today. Didn't he have any idea in his heart, so he left right now without saying anything? I also read it and felt like it was stuck in my throat. The emperor of Daliang is very ambitious, so he should be
The world is alert!"
"Our army of the State of Yan is unparalleled in combat power, why should we care what Daliang does, but you, the State of Tang, have to worry!" Zhao Shanhe said with a smile: "Forgive me that Daliang does not dare to have any thoughts about our State of Yan!"
Li Shu smiled and said: "Ambassador, I heard that sand becomes a tower and armpits become fur. The sages have said that if you don't plan for a moment, you can't plan for a lifetime.
The world is planning to conquer the world, Liang Guo owns the richest land in the southeast of the world, and has dangerous mountains in the north. It is the most important country in the world and the sacred land!"
"The king defeated the new army and defeated the allied forces in the Western Regions like splitting bamboo. The Zhu family's great beams support the land of six states, with millions of people and countless money and food. Now Emperor Zhu has reduced the tax on Dingkou to please the people of the world. The people are willing to die, with a wave of his hand.
Then we can gather millions of troops, what does the envoy think?"
Zhao Shanhe looked at Li Chen with a solemn expression: "Who are you? You are just a Tang nationality. I don't believe you can say such things."
