Chapter 14 Yin and Yang Violation!
Just when everyone was still talking about Cao County's rebellion and being punished by the Nine Clans.
Another piece of news also spread quickly in Xiao Guo.
Originally, countless people were still discussing which nine clans this Nine Clans were, but with the spread of another piece of news.
What is the Zhu Jiu clan was soon left behind for the time being.
"What?"
"Your Majesty decreed that Xiao Guo should be tax-free for three years. ”
"True or fake?"
"Don't go hungry, don't go hungry. ”
For a time, the entire Xiao Kingdom was boiling.
Rongcheng, Leicheng, Nanxing City, countless Li people have knelt on the ground, they face the palace, and continue to kowtow.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Someone even broke his head.
Countless people were in tears at this moment.
"Mingjun. ”
"Our Xiao Kingdom is about to produce Mingjun. ”
Xiao Guo shook.
"Ding!"
"Check that Xiao Guo's luck has increased. ”
"The host gains a hundred luck points. ”
"Ding!"
"Check that Xiao Guo's luck has increased. ”
"The host gains a hundred luck points. ”
"Ding!"
"Check that Xiao Guo's luck has increased. ”
"The host gains a hundred luck points. ”
......
Inside the Imperial Study.
In Xiao Chen's mind, the sound of system prompts kept ringing.
Xiao Chen's face relaxed, revealing a happy smile.
"It's done. ”
Of course, Xiao Chen knew where these qi luck points came from.
Xiao Guo is in chaos.
The people have no means of making a living.
And the granary is in an emergency.
It can be seen that how much can the people of Xiao Guo eat?
If Xiao Chen does not order tax exemption, once the tax is collected, there will inevitably be a large number of people who cannot afford to pay the tax.
Even if they smash pots and sell iron and pay taxes, if there is no food, those Li people will still starve to death.
Once there are a large number of casualties, Xiao will inevitably riot, and when the time comes, there will definitely be rebels who will raise their banners and start to rebel.
This is a portrayal of China for 5,000 years, and Xiao Chen will never allow this to happen.
Therefore, Xiao Chen did not hesitate to order tax exemption for three years, first to stabilize the domestic situation, as long as the domestic situation is stabilized, then the matter will be easier to solve.
Now that he heard the system constantly prompting the increase in Qi Luck value, Xiao Chen already knew that his method was effective.
In the palace, Wei Zhongxian was ordered to set up the East Factory, and he first came to the eunuch's house.
The eunuch's house, that's where the eunuchs lived.
Wei Zhongxian took out the holy decree given to him by Xiao Chen, gathered all the eunuchs, and prepared to select the eunuchs and let some of the eunuchs join the East Factory.
It's just that when Wei Zhongxian saw these eunuchs, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but be disappointed.
The strength of these eunuchs was too weak and weak, and most of them didn't even have cultivation.
In the end, among the 1,000 eunuchs, Wei Zhongxian only selected 100 eunuchs who were refining one heavy outside.
This is the most powerful eunuch in the palace.
If it weren't for the fact that eunuchs who had not cultivated would not be able to join the East Factory at all and become the guards of the East Factory, Wei Zhongxian would have been eager to include all the eunuchs in the East Factory.
"It's too weak. Wei Zhongxian eventually left with a hundred eunuchs.
After that, they became a factory guard in the East Factory.
Under Wei Zhongxian's teaching, these eunuchs quickly understood the importance of the East Factory, and at the same time, they also understood what kind of existence the factory guards were.
When all the eunuchs heard Wei Zhongxian's explanation, they were very excited, and they were even more glad that they usually worked hard to let themselves have a heavy cultivation of external refining.
In the palace, it is too difficult for a eunuch to be promoted, but in Dongchang, as long as he makes meritorious contributions, he can be promoted.
Dongchang now has various official vacancies, as long as the credit is enough, the strength is enough, it can be promoted immediately, from the lowest ten households, to hundreds, thousands of households, and so on.
One hundred factory guards received Wei Zhongxian's order, poured out of the nest, and rushed straight out to Lei City, Rong City, and Nanxing City.
Their purpose is to supervise hundreds of officials, and even more, to arrest hundreds of officials.
The news of tax exemption quickly spread in all cities, counties, towns, districts and villages in Xiao Kingdom, and all the people cheered.
However, there are also people who are unhappy.
These people are naturally officials of various local governments.
As soon as the news of tax exemption came out, all the people no longer had to pay taxes, where did they go to make money? How could they be greedy?
Rongcheng, Songzhu County.
Lin Shimao, the county magistrate, received the holy decree issued by the imperial court, and his face looked very ugly.
I don't know what those officials in the court think, don't you know the current situation of Xiao Guo?
Nowadays, the chaos in the Xiao country is frequent, and there are signs of uprisings in many places, at this time, the grain in the granary is about to run out, if it is tax-free, what do they eat?
The most important thing is that if there is an insurrectionary army in a place, and an army is sent to suppress it, that is, there is a greater need for food.
Didn't the officials of the court know about this edict to dissuade the new emperor?
Lin Shimao was in a very bad mood.
After Lin Shimao received the holy decree, he immediately called the master and the head catcher in the county government to discuss countermeasures.
"You two should also know about the rumors outside, right?"
In the county office, Lin Shimao looked at the two people in front of him and asked.
These two people, one is wearing a master's outfit, and the other is wearing a head-catching suit.
It can be seen that this is the master of Songzhu County, and the head of the fast catch.
"Heard, my lord, is this news true, the imperial court really wants to exempt taxes for three years?" said the master.
The head catcher also looked at Lin Shimao with a questioning face.
Lin Shimao nodded and said: "Yes, this is true, you have also seen the situation of Xiao Guo now, right? The imperial court is exempt from taxes, those untouchables are happy, but it is us who suffer, what do you two think, what should we do?"
"I will do what the adults tell me to do. The head catcher replied without thinking about it.
The master was silent for a moment, and then said: "The imperial court is exempt from taxes, which is indeed not good news for us and other officials, especially the current situation of Xiao Guo is not optimistic, once we compromise, our pressure will increase dramatically, and when the grain in the granary is completely urgent, we may all go hungry." ”
"So, what does Master mean that we should continue to collect taxes?" Lin Shimao's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, yes, if the adults want to continue to collect taxes, it is not impossible, but we can't be the same as before, this time the news of the imperial court's tax exemption has spread throughout the county, and we can say that the imperial court is indeed exempt, but not all. The master smiled mysteriously.
"We can levy half of it, as the so-called, the emperor is far away, and Songzhu County is our territory. ”
"What the master said is reasonable, let's do it. ”
In the end, the countermeasure they negotiated was to disobey the yin and the yang.
Anyway, Rongcheng Songzhu County is far away from the national capital Leicheng, how easy is it for the emperor to know?
As soon as the countermeasures came out, Lin Shimao quickly dispatched all the catchers in the county government, led by the head catcher, to collect taxes from the towns, regions, and villages below.
