Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Chapter 218: The World Draft begins

Tai Chi Hall.

All the court officials whispered.

The twelve million business tax mentioned by the Hubu Shang Shukou is really incredible.

Even a few officials felt that this was a deliberate nonsense by Hubu Shangshu in order to get the emperor’s attention...

It's just that, even if most officials had doubts in their hearts, they believed most of them.

the reason is simple.

Today's son can't be fooled casually.

Five months since the emperor's accession to the throne, how many ministers have gone to jail, and have never recovered?

With the thunder of the emperor, can a mere household book be deceived?

Hubu Shangshu must also know this.

Even if he gave the Hubu Shangshu ten courage, he would not dare to falsely report the amount in this matter...

Since Hubu Shangshu dared to report such a report to the emperor, he must already have complete assurance in his heart...

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair, looking at the beginning of the boiling Manchu civil and military.

"Aiqing do you have any doubts?"

Regarding the taxation of the Datang Empire, Li Si never thought of concealing it.

The main measure of the prosperity of an empire is how much money it can collect each year.

Taxation does not only represent whether the treasury of the Tang Empire is full.

It is the overall situation of the Datang Empire.

If the Tang Empire didn’t live up to their name, and the people couldn’t even support themselves, how much tax would they have?

"His Majesty."

"The old minister has some doubts."

An elderly minister stood out and said, "If the old minister heard it right, Master Shangshu said that the tax revenue last month was 12 million taels?"

As soon as the minister's voice fell, the Hubu Shangshu immediately said: "Your Majesty, every word the minister said has true evidence."

"I Datang’s commercial tax revenue totaled 12 million last month. Among them, the commercial tax collected in Chang'an City accounted for more than half of the total, which was 7 million taels. The remaining 6 million taels were local commercial taxes. !"

The tone of Hubu Shangshu's speech was very positive.

Moreover, Hubu Shangshu's face is like a breeze.

The more taxes collected by the Datang Empire, the more it showed that the Treasury of the Tang Dynasty was no longer short of money.

In this way, if your Majesty uses money in the future, there will be no scenes that he can't take out.

As the emperor’s purse, Hubu Shangshu, if he can’t meet the emperor’s needs, I’m afraid that his position as Shangshu will be the best...

As a courtier, if he can't share his worries and solve problems for the emperor, what is the significance of the emperor's keeping his courtiers?

"it is true?"

The minister who raised doubts looked at the confident Hube Shangshu and swallowed.

"Really twelve million taels of taxes?"

"My God, when is my Datang's business tax so prosperous?"

"I thought about it. Some time ago, His Majesty said that the checkpoint tax would be abolished. Could it be that the soaring commercial tax has something to do with this?"

"Your Majesty's vision is far-reaching, I can't wait far..."

The ministers in the middle of the DPRK were all trembling with their legs, their faces excited.

One thousand two hundred taels a month.

Ten months is 120 million taels.

In one year, the tax collected by Datang will reach 144 million taels of silver.

What is this concept? !

Hubu Shangshu looked at the shocked look of the courtiers in the court, and said a more shocking remark: "These twelve million taels are only commercial taxes."

"When the land tax reform comes out early next year, the land tax will be several times more than the commercial tax."

Hubu Shangshu's words just fell.

The Manchu civilization fell into dead silence.

Property tax?

Is it several times more than the commercial tax?

Is there so much land tax in the Datang Empire?

The courtiers couldn't believe it.

If it weren't for the appearance of seeing Hubu Shang vowed in letters.

I am afraid that someone will stand up to impeach the Ministry of Household Shangshu and falsely report taxes.

Just as the hundreds of civil and military officials were talking about it, a majestic voice came from Longtai.

"Okay, it's all quiet."

Upon hearing the words, the court officials and the officials kept silent.

The emperor told them not to speak, how dare these courtiers continue to make noise?

Li Si slightly leaned on the throne of the dragon chair, waved his hand and said, "What else do you want to say?"

The chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, stood out and said, "My Majesty, this is an official who did not meet the standards of the'test law' last month."

Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial and held it in his hands.

The servant **** stepped forward and presented the memorial to the Long Case.

Li Si opened the memorial and glanced casually.

"These officials, what does Aiqing plan to do with them?"

Li Si looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked.

"Return to your Majesty."

Zhang Juzheng bowed and said: "According to the regulations of the'Test for Success', the official who fails to meet the standard for the first time will be deducted half a year's salary."

"Officials who fail to meet the standard twice in a row will be demoted to one level."

"Officials who fail to meet the standards for three consecutive times shall be abolished."

Zhang Juzheng's words made the court officials sweat cold.

The "test-achievement method" implemented by the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, is equivalent to a knife hanging on the necks of officials in the world.

If you are not careful, the knife will fall.

It’s just that if it meets the standards set by the ‘Successful Examination Law’, it’s just around the corner...

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair and folded the memorial: "I've got it."

"According to the purpose."

Zhang Juzheng retreated.

After a few hours.

The early morning ended.

Li Si said, ‘Retreat~www.NovelMTL.com~ and leave the Taiji Hall directly.

...

...

Hall of Eternal Life.

Not long after Li Si came back, the attendant **** entered the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is asking for a meeting outside the hall."

"Proclaim."

After entering the Hall of Longevity, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites immediately handed over and said: "My Majesty, the selection of beautiful women from all over the world has been completed, and they are all between 15 and 18 years old, with innocent net worth."

"At present, these beautiful women have been sent to Chang'an City, waiting for your Majesty to personally select them."

According to the tradition of the Datang Empire, the emperor had to be present in person in every draft.

After all, the draft is for the emperor to report.

Choosing a beautiful girl into the palace must at least be pleasing to the emperor's eyes.

"How many people are there in this draft?"

Li Si looked at the Book of Rites, and suddenly showed interest.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites replied immediately: "Your Majesty, from all parts of the world, a total of more than 200,000 women signed up to participate, but in the end, only 5,000 women came to the city of Chang'an after being screened."

"Five thousand?"

Li Si nodded slightly after hearing the words.

These 5,000 women were selected from 200,000 women.

Each one is beautiful and charming.

Li Si put his right hand on the armrest of the dragon chair and said, "Tomorrow I will personally select the beautiful girl who will enter the palace."

"The minister follows the decree."

The Book of Etiquette respectfully withdrew.

After the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites left, Li Si slowly stood up and walked out of the Hall of Longevity.

One day later, there will be beautiful women entering the palace. The sole purpose of these beautiful women entering the palace is to be favored by your majesty.

In the harem, if the emperor's favor, waiting for these beautiful women, there will be countless glory and wealth!
