Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Suizhou City, Sui Prince's Mansion.

hall.

"Ahem~"

King Sui coughed twice, put aside the valuable jade porcelain in his hand, and raised his voice to the clan members wearing jade robes: "Have you all read the income and expenditure accounts of this king in the past two years? ? I wonder what you think about it?”

"I won't beat around the bush with you. Let me tell you straight to the point. Will you join me and fully support His Majesty and Governor Lu in changing their ways, or will you resign yourself to fate and not help each other?"

The people sitting in the hall at the moment are all from the vassal kings and clans of the seven provinces, various generals who have promoted the country, generals who have protected the country, generals who have assisted the country. Of course, there are relatively few principals among these people, but most of them are princes and princes. , princesses and other important figures who can represent the main family.

Their eyes were wide open, looking at the astronomical figures in the account books, with shock on their faces.

When they heard King Sui speak, they were startled for a moment, and then their expressions gradually became a little complicated.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man who looked older spoke slowly and responded: "King Sui, we all know the benefits of the New Deal, and His Majesty's meaning is also very obvious. As long as the people have a better life, we, the royal clan, will Life will naturally be easy, and as clan members, we also want to contribute to the country, but "

He spoke slowly and expressed his concerns: "Although this world belongs to our Jiang family, it is also the world of monks. The fiefdom we are in is no better than the Sui and Yu states. In some places, the aristocratic families do not even want to sell us. The face of the clan.”

"Yuzhou and Suizhou are backed by the great power of Governor Lu, and with their unique spiritual realm, the Sui King can naturally enjoy the benefits and use his family wealth to support Governor Lu. However, our life is not easy in the first place, and we cannot afford to offend powerful officials from aristocratic families. Originally, the water in the well did not interfere with the river, but now that the New Deal has been implemented, our life has become even more difficult. After all, how can we compete with them? "

"We are just a small family. Even if we want to help the court, we are really powerless."

Regarding the changes in Suizhou, it would be false to say that they are not envious. Now who doesn’t know that the land of the two states has become another economic center of Daxia. It is simply extremely rich. In addition, the previous great purge has swept away local forces. He tried it once and scared away many people, so that the King of Sui, who survived, suddenly became the biggest beneficiary after the New Deal.

The King of Sui actually did nothing. He just vomited out all the things he had eaten before the great purge. He also established an image for himself in advance that he knew his mistakes and could correct them. He also tried his best to cooperate with Sui afterwards. The state's new administrative system just keeps giving away benefits.

Then Suizhou and Yuzhou developed greatly, the New Deal was promulgated, and the Sui Palace took off directly from the same place.

In their opinion, the development of Suizhou had nothing to do with King Sui. This guy was just lucky and had a good life, which they couldn't envy at all.

They are not as lucky as King Sui. The geographical interests of the seven provinces are intertwined and have long formed an airtight network. Many of them are living under this network, even if they have privileges, they dare not Useful, not to mention that the clan's privileges have now been curtailed by the Tiance Mansion.

Let them support the court? What support?

Just with one mouth?

Or is it the clan status that is no longer of much use in their eyes?

As soon as these words came out, other people expressed their concerns one after another. Most of them were related to the problems of local powerful families and clans. To be honest, watching the Sui King relying on the New Deal and the rapid expansion of his family fortune, who could not be jealous, and who didn't want to become Where is the next Sui king?

But you have to have this strength or this luck.

We can't expect another Lu Chen to come out of the fiefdom and sweep everything right away, right?

Although Lu Chen is now the governor of seven provinces, governing seven provinces and governing two directly-administered states are completely different things. Directly-affiliated states are directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The local power is not very strong, and the influence of the sect is not high. In this way, King Yu could dominate and prosper.

But the province is different.

Lu Chen has the courage to eradicate the long-standing evils with drastic measures, but it does not mean that he can move forward as bravely as he did in the face of the vast land and hundreds of millions of people in the seven provinces, as well as the monk class above it. And he is an outsider, even if there is a court With their full support, it’s not that easy to break the situation.

Unless he uses absolute power to plow the land of the seven provinces and overthrow them all, just like Yuzhou and Suizhou did.

But is this possible?

Everyone was chattering, but the expression on King Sui's face did not change at all. It was obvious that he had expected this.

"Dignified members of the Daxia clan, with the bloodline of Emperor Hongwu, are as fearful as tigers at a bunch of scum that eats people and gets fat. You really give me the face of the Jiang family."

The moment King Sui finished speaking, the hall fell silent and you could hear a pin drop.

Almost all the clan members blushed instantly and subconsciously wanted to refute, but could not say anything, and then a look of shame gradually appeared on their faces.

King Sui suddenly stood up.

"Don't say anything like having more ambition than strength. As a royal family, even if our power is reduced, it will be difficult for us and other clan members to do something if they really want to do something. In the end, you are just afraid of offending others. Just afraid of death."

"Because of fear, you would rather follow those powerful clans and pick up their leftovers and linger in the cold, than stand up and work for the court as a clan member to fight for the benefits you deserve and for future generations. Gain a future.”

Upon hearing this, many younger clan members immediately clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.

There was almost fire in his eyes.

It is not known whether the King of Sui had touched their sore spot, making them angry out of shame, or because they were furious out of incompetence.

The King of Sui seemed not to have seen it, with his hands behind his back, and continued: "This kind of trash has only one purpose in life, that is to bring shame to our ancestors! This king disdains to associate with such people, and I am too lazy to talk nonsense."

At this point, his tone gradually rose.

"To tell you the truth, this king is going to unite the royal family of the seven surrounding provinces to set up a business company, so that all the royal family members can work together, work together, and seek a future together. While strengthening the family, they will also contribute to our Jiang Dynasty. After all, only when the Great Xia is stable can we enjoy prosperity and rest with the country."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have the capital, this king can do it. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me and put in more effort, it will be fine. But if you don't have the determination and dignity of being a royal family, even if you are rich, this king will never deal with you."

Hearing this, some royal family members' eyes lit up immediately.

No capital, just a little more effort?

Is the Sui king trying to make a fortune by taking advantage of their privileges in the fiefdom?

This seems to be a good idea.

You should know that in the new policy, although the restrictions on the employment of the royal family members have been lifted, they can engage in any industry. The business is no longer a forbidden way for the royal family, but it is also stipulated that the royal family members, like ordinary people, must pay taxes on their income. They must pay taxes where they earn money.

If this tax is paid to the local government, then according to the provisions of the new policy, these royal family members can get a part of it. The higher the tax, the more they can get.

In addition, the business must share profits, which is another part of the income. With the current wealth of the Sui Wangfu, doing business is like filling a sack with money, and this part of the income is definitely not low.

The inside is perfect.

And the face. The Sui Wang also said that the business must take into account the contribution to the country. If there is any contribution and merit, the Sui Wangfu will certainly be the biggest part, and they who have contributed should also get a share? In this way, won’t there be face?

With both face and substance, this is a big deal.

As for the fact that the risk company is backed by the King of Sui, and the King of Sui is backed by Governor Lu and His Majesty, there is no need to worry about this.

While thinking, the King of Sui suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed outside the door.

"Okay, this is all I have to say. I dare not contribute to the court, and I just want to rely on picking up leftovers to survive. You can leave now. I will pretend that you have never been here today."

Hearing this, everyone's face immediately became a little uncertain.

After a while, several young people looked at each other, and then stood up with a firm look in their eyes, bowed to the King of Sui, and said solemnly: "I am not talented, but I am willing to contribute to the court as your uncle."

Someone took the lead, and soon a group of people followed suit.

Seeing this scene, the King of Sui couldn't help but laugh. (End of this chapter)
