God-level treasure chests starting from Ao Bing

Chapter 104 Controversy in court, introduce Shen Gongbao!

"My lord, natural disasters have been rampant in recent years, and the tax burden should be reduced so that the people can continue."

Yabigan was the first to speak at this time, he was Uncle Wang, so he should be the one to speak about such unpleasant things.

"Tax cut?"

King Zhou raised his brows when he heard the words, the palace was expensive for food and clothing, and it didn't cost money to build palaces and pavilions.

What does he spend on this tax cut?
But there are some things that cannot be said, otherwise these self-proclaimed virtuous ministers will be like crying father and mother again.

But at this moment, there will naturally be a more wise courtier in his eyes to rescue him.

Seeing Fei Zhong stepping out, he said loudly.

"Yaxiang's words are wrong. The food and clothing of the palace, the civil and military salaries of the Manchu Dynasty, and the food and salaries of the army of the world, none of which need tax support."

"If taxes are cut, where will the spending come from?"

"Master Fei is right. Will you pay for these expenditures?"

You Hun also came out and said in support.

"Hmph, it's this fallacy again, the expenses are naturally borne by the treasury, and we officials should also lower our salaries to share the worries of the king."

"The old minister would like not to have a salary, but for the people of the world, for a bite of food."

After Bigan finished speaking, ministers knelt down one after another to express their attitude.

But Bigan took it for granted, since ancient times people's hearts have been the same.

Most people become officials just to get promoted and get rich, so who wants to let them work for nothing.

Especially military generals, not a single one kneels down.

The rich learn martial arts, but the poor learn literature.

Military generals need to exercise their bodies, and food alone is not a small amount. If they don't have salaries, wouldn't they starve to death.

Even among the civil servants, those who kneel down are all old ministers. Their families are rich and they don't care about these salaries.

Those young people who need to support a family, how can they have so much spare money.

"You guys. Hey~"

Bigan dared to beat his chest, his face was full of shame and indignation, unexpectedly few people supported him.

"Hehe, Yaxiang is indeed kind. If these salaries are handed over to King Ren, it is estimated that many hungry people will be saved."

Fei Zhong sneered disdainfully, and then bowed to King Zhou.

"My lord, since Lord Yaxiang is kind, why don't you be satisfied with him?"

King Zhou traveled far and wide, and when he heard Fei Zhong's words, he agreed without thinking about it.

"Since Yaxiang is willing, I will give Dichen the salaries of the few of you in the future, and let his Cross Society help the victims."

"As for tax cuts, don't mention them any more."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Several people felt uncomfortable, but they had no choice but to accept the order.

The salary was given to King Ren, and the good reputation was given to him. It was really a waste of work.

"Thank you for your generosity~"

Dichen was very happy, he was usually short of money, now someone gave him money, it was a good thing.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion regarding taxation."

"What the hell are you planning?"

"Don't talk about tax cuts!"

King Zhou frowned. Anyway, he had already thought in his heart that tax cuts were impossible.

"No, your Majesty listens to your ministers."

"Tax cuts in this world can't save a few people. They have nothing in the first place, so what's the use of tax cuts?"

"On the contrary, it is cheaper for those rich people to pay less tax."

"Oh? Then why the tax increase?"

King Zhou showed some interest and asked with great interest.

"My lord, if you allocate a share of the extra money you received to the Red Cross, I will tell you everything."

"Bold. How dare you."

King Zhou was furious when he heard this, and this kid actually wanted to give him money before he said it, which is a complete crime of disrespect.

The officials below also shook their heads, why is King Ren so crazy today.

Yaxiang asked for a light tax, but he wanted to increase the tax and asked King Zhou to share the money with him.

This dignified military affairs is like a business.

Di Chen glanced at the group of officials in a blink of an eye, and he knew what they were thinking by looking at their expressions.

Pretending to be lofty in front of politics is simply a hole in the brain.

Politics is dark and naked, and everyone has a clear goal.

Just like what Bigan did just now, he just wanted to gain fame.

If the tax cuts are really useful, then there will be no dynasty that perishes. If it doesn’t work, can the tax cuts be done with one move?

The people at the bottom have no tax to pay at all, no matter how much it is reduced.

In order to escape their crimes, they abandoned their homes and moved around, becoming refugees and bandits.

This is one of the most fundamental causes of national chaos.

The porridge sheds he opened all choose relatively secluded places, and the time and place are all fixed.

Just like feeding pets, letting those refugees settle there can reduce a lot of social chaos.

He needs too much property, so he needs to ask King Zhou for money.

King Zhou on the throne actually wanted to get angry, but he was very helpless towards Di Chen.

This kid has a stubborn temper, and he can't use force with him.

If the Golden Melon Warrior was called to come up to pick him up, he would definitely kick them all away one by one.

If there is a decree to punish, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will be united in one mind, pleading for mercy until their heads explode.

So King Zhou didn't want to mind too much with him, after all, he was still his own son.

"Okay, as long as it's effective, it doesn't matter if I share it with you."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will be able to resolve this turmoil today."

Di Chen smiled faintly, and began to speak out his bad idea.

"First, cancel tariffs, encourage merchants to do business, levy commercial taxes, and prohibit price gouging."

"Secondly, people who can't afford to pay taxes will be punished by replacing taxes with workers."

"Third, cancel the poll tax and add this tax to the agricultural tax."

"Fourth, encourage land reclamation, let those refugees who are hungry and idle, reclaim more fields."

After Di Chen finished speaking, King Zhou's mind was about to explode.

If the metaphor is replaced by a character from the Three Kingdoms, he is Zhang Fei.

Occasionally, if you can play a little clever, if you really want to ask for advice, you will be caught blind.

King Zhou couldn't figure out why, and Fei Zhong and the others couldn't stop this kind of question.

Although treacherous officials have been talented since ancient times, most of their brains are spent on flattery, and they have no time to study national policies.

At this moment, the pragmatic party members have something to do.

Shang Rong stepped out and asked directly.

"King Ren's words are inscrutable, and the old minister still doesn't understand, so I hope to enlighten you."

"Okay, then I'll tell you one by one."

"To promote business, you must make merchants willing to move around, so this tariff must be cancelled."

"I have a large business, a vast land, and abundant resources. Almost every city and every town has something special."

"For example, fish and fresh fruits by the sea, and herding sheep and horses on the grassland."

"These things have become rare goods in other places, and naturally many people are willing to buy them."

"At that time, the market will be opened, random stalls will be prohibited, and business tax will be collected, which will be more than customs duties."

"Is the Prime Minister's account settled?"

"It does"

There is no lack of talent to become the prime minister.

Many ideas are imprisoned by the times, and they all understand with just one click.

As a time traveler, Di Chen didn't know the terror of the businessman and the economy.

After a few people digested it, Di Chen continued.

"The next few items are actually for one purpose."

"That is to let the people settle down, reduce the generation of refugees, and reduce the loss of population."

"The root of the turmoil in the world is actually refugees."

"A group of refugees entering a place will cause too much chaos in the place, and it is not impossible for them to be used by those who want to rebel."

"I set up porridge sheds everywhere, just to let the refugees settle down nearby, so as not to cause chaos among the local people."

After Di Chen finished speaking, he looked at Shang Rong, expecting him to understand more.

"It's just like King Ren said, but I don't understand, since the head tax has been cancelled, why should it be added to the agricultural tax."

Shang Rong still doesn't quite understand that the old man's brain cells that died today are enough for half a lifetime.

"The farming and animal husbandry skills passed down by the ancestors are the foundation of a strong dynasty."

"So other taxes can be exempted, agricultural tax and commercial tax are fundamental, absolutely must not be less."

"The abolition of the poll tax will definitely trigger a population explosion, and more land and food will be needed at that time."

"Then we can just let those refugees who pay taxes with work to reclaim more land."

"The agricultural tax at that time will be the foundation of the country."

"And those pioneers were doing the same work as slaves, but with hope."

"Not only solve the refugees, but also have a stronger vitality, why not do it?"

After Dichen finished speaking, there was audible needle drop above the court hall.

Between understatement, a policy of strengthening the country appeared in front of us.

How can this keep these ministers from being shocked?

Even King Zhou understood the general idea, imagining the scene of countless people in the country and fertile fields stretching to the sky.

"His Royal Highness, you have said so much, but it is just empty talk."

"The root of the current disasters is natural disasters and man-made disasters. If there were no locust plagues, floods, and droughts, the big merchants would be extremely powerful even if they didn't change taxes?"

At this moment, a voice sounded, and everyone heard it and saw that it was Fei Zhong.

Everyone found it very strange that even if King Ren talked empty words, it didn't touch anyone's interests.

Why did Fei Zhong say such words at this time? This is something that offends King Ren directly and does not benefit at all.

Taking a step back, King Ren has said so many things, even if he is lying, he still has to give a thumbs up. What does it mean to be angry?
Fei Zhong's words awakened King Zhou, and after he realized it, he said slightly angrily.

"Dichen, this is Chaotang, don't say your boastful words."

"My lord, since my minister has said it, I must be prepared."

"Today, my minister recommends a person, who is Fangwai Shangxian, who can save the world from disasters."

Dichen didn't panic at all, he didn't want to make some money by talking about it for a long time, the key was to recommend talents.

This Fei Zhong is good, although it is aimed at him, but it is a good thing.

Wouldn't it be cheap to take the initiative by yourself? When you are asked, you can show your hole cards, which is full of force.

"Shangxian?"

When King Zhou heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said quickly.

"If it is really Shangxian who can solve the disaster, Gu Wang will change the tax system according to your words."

"Well, this person is a disciple of the saint, named Shen Gongbao, and he is outside the hall!"

Dichen smiled confidently, although Dashang has many disciples who are officials.

But those who are greedy for the world of mortals must be a little worse in practice.

And all of them are warriors. When it comes to mysterious magic, that's nothing.

Even Wen Zhong, who is the best among them, relies on a pair of heavenly eyes, and there are not many mysterious fairy arts.

As long as Shen Gongbao showed his hands for a while, he would definitely be able to scare King Zhou.

"Hurry up and declare Shangxian to enter the palace."
