Starting From Bandits, My Younger Brother Is More Than A Million

"Of course, did you know that His Majesty has adjusted the agricultural tax this time!" the person standing in the middle said excitedly.

The people around immediately asked, "Did Your Majesty lower the agricultural tax?"

No one would think that the new emperor had increased the agricultural tax. After all, the person who spoke was too excited at this time. If the agricultural tax was increased, he would definitely not be like this.

Sure enough, the man nodded: "Your Majesty has indeed lowered the agricultural tax, do you know how much it has been reduced?"

Seeing that this person started to play tricks again, the group of people wished they could go up and punch him hard at this moment.

It's really too much to beat.

However, some people in the crowd couldn't help but guess: "Ten taxes and two?"

Before the Song Dynasty, the agricultural tax was three out of ten. Even if it was only reduced by one tenth, it would be great news for the common people.

But someone still made a bold guess: "Isn't it ten taxes and one tax!"

Ten taxes and one tax is already unimaginable for ordinary people.

But the man kept shaking his head, and finally he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't guess, it's not two tenths, nor one tenths, but thirty ones, what, I didn't expect that !"

Thirty tax one!

As soon as these four words came out, the whole restaurant fell silent instantly.

After a while, everyone asked excitedly, "Is what you said true?"

Everyone's faces were already so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and many people were even moved to tears.

Thirty tax one, since Kyushu has its own dynasty, it has only appeared a few times in the tens of thousands of years.

And that only happened in the time of the first emperor.

For ordinary people, it is a legend.

Seeing everyone's earnest eyes, the man nodded and said with certainty: "Even the thirty one tax, the imperial decree brought by the imperial guards in Kyoto has already been posted on the imperial list at the gate of Anning City. If you don't believe it, You can go and see for yourself, I also heard that His Majesty built a recruiting platform in the city of Kyoto, saying that he wants to recruit talents from all over the world to make the most of his own use, and regardless of background or status, anyone with a skill can go to Kyoto to try.々.

However, most people obviously didn't care about the second half of his sentence. Ordinary people don't think that they have the ability to stabilize the country.

Their attention is all focused on the previous words.

After getting the exact answer, many people burst into tears.

Kneeling on the ground one by one, kowtow towards the direction of Kyoto: "Your Majesty is holy, your majesty is holy!"

After the deduction was over, at almost the same time, everyone got up and left the restaurant, rushing towards the gate of Anning City, they wanted to see the imperial list.

In an instant, there were not many people left in the restaurant.

On the second floor, in a box, two middle-aged Confucian scholars were drinking.

"Brother Chu, what do you think of the Great Qin Xinhuang?" one of them asked.

The Confucian scholar surnamed Chu said calmly: "How else can I look at it? The recovery of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures alone is enough to be remembered in history. What's more, he also adjusted the agricultural tax to thirty one. It is estimated that after today, the green People in Xuzhou and Xuzhou will only remember Qin Huang in their hearts, and there will be no one who has nostalgia for Song Dynasty."

Hearing what he said, another person said: "However, I also heard that Emperor Qin destroyed the four great families not long ago. Brother Chu, you are the only one who knows. You offended the Yang family before and were suppressed by the Yang family. , I have never had the opportunity to display my ambitions. Now that the four great families have been wiped out, Emperor Qin has set up a recruiting platform in the capital.

After the Confucian scholar surnamed Chu heard this, he still had a calm expression on his face: "Let's have a look before we talk about it. With Qin as the title of the country, it seems that our new emperor has a lot of ambitions, and his troubles in the future will definitely be too big." not small.

The person on the opposite side smiled and said, "Brothers, are you a person who is afraid of trouble?"

The Confucian scholar surnamed Chu said directly: "No. 11

Hearing this, the two laughed at the same time.

Xuzhou, Jingsheng City.

Early in the morning, the Imperial Guards from Kyoto arrived at Jingsheng City. After recited the edict of Lu Qi's enthronement and the subsequent imperial edict three times in the street, they reflexively posted the imperial edict on the imperial list of Jingsheng City.

Then two soldiers of the Imperial Army stood guard in front of the imperial list. They would stay here for a day and be responsible for explaining the content of the imperial decree to ordinary people who could not read.

Tomorrow will leave for the next city.

But even if they leave, these decrees will be posted on Jingsheng City's imperial list for a whole month, and the defenders of Jingsheng City will be responsible for their work in the future.

The purpose is to let all the people in the world know about this matter.

Announcing the four words to the world does not end with the issuance of the imperial decree. There is a lot of follow-up work, and it must be truly advertised.

As the content of the imperial decree gradually became known to the people of Jingsheng City, groups of people came to the imperial list to kowtow to express their gratitude.

The reduction and exemption of agricultural tax is the greatest favor of the royal family to the common people.

However, some people are happy and some are worried. Compared with the reduction and exemption of agricultural tax, the increase in commercial tax has caused countless chambers of commerce in Jingsheng City to complain again and again.

In a manor in Jingsheng City, the presidents of all chambers of commerce in the city gathered together at this moment.

"Everyone, this new emperor is really too much. Since ancient times, it has been a practice for the royal family not to compete with the people for profit. Not to mention the new emperor hastily increased the business tax, it is still a high tax rate of ten taxes and two. How can we and other merchants If there is a way out, we must unite and put pressure on the imperial court to protest!" said the president of the Jingsheng City Chamber of Commerce emotionally.

Below, a group of chamber of commerce presidents echoed.

"President Su is right. The establishment of a commercial tax is an unprecedented thing. We must not compromise like this!"

"President Su, just tell me what to do, the Su family is a first-class family, and we can rest assured that you will take the lead.

"Yes, we all listen to President Su."

At this time, the presidents of many chambers of commerce can be said to be very united.

But at this moment, a man dressed as a housekeeper broke in.

"My lord, it's not good. There's news from the main house in Kyoto that something happened."

The housekeeper looked flustered, as if he had learned something terrible.

Master Su gave him a dissatisfied look and said, "How decent is Cheng, talk slowly if you have anything to say."

(Nuo Zhao's) Didn't you see that he was entertaining guests? If such a panic spread, others would say that he was a poor discipliner.

The housekeeper took a breath, and then said quickly: "The master's family has heard that not long ago, the four great families were all destroyed by the new emperor because they offended the new emperor.

Master Su was about to drink tea, when he was choked by these words, the tea gushed out of his mouth, and he kept coughing: "Cough...cough...cough..."

After half a day, it slowed down.

"Which four families are you talking about?" Master Su asked.

Although I already have the answer in my heart, after all, there are only four families in Qingzhou and Xuzhou who can call themselves the Four Great Aristocratic Families.

The steward immediately replied: "My lord, it's the Yang family, Wang family, Pei family, and Xie family! The sky is about to collapse."

More than just the sky is falling.

The chair under Master Su's buttocks is also about to collapse.

With a bang, Master Su fell from his chair to the ground.
