The first decree of Changle Palace promulgated in the name of the King of Han, under the unsparing operation of the Temple of Death, quickly reached the one hundred and thirty cities of the Chen Kingdom at a terrifying speed.

Most of the people in the major cities were originally not optimistic about the King of Han, or they would not have signed the Book of All the People that let the King of Han go to the country. Comparing the King of Han and Taifu, everyone can see that Fan Taifu's 60 years of operation in Chen Guo is already deep-rooted, and it is very difficult to seize power from Taifu.

Fighting for power, many times it is bloodshed, the power that others have already held in their hands, why should it be given to you, do you have more blood?

When the king of Han first came, his foundation was shallow, so what did he use to fight with Taifu? Does he take his false name as the king of Han? False name will never be able to fight for real power.

However, when the people saw the decree of Changle Palace, they didn't think so, and everyone was in good spirits.

"Damn, I'm not mistaken! All forced labor taxes are exempt from immediate effect. ”

"Doesn't the exemption from all taxes mean that from now on I will not have to pay taxes and serve in forced labor?"

"In the past, when the lord of the country was here, the tax was light, and then Fan Papi came, and the tax was heavier, but I didn't expect that as soon as the prince came, the tax was directly exempted, and I was not a fucking person, and I only signed the book of all the people who let the prince go to the country this morning. No, I have to cross my name, even if the prince goes to the country, thirty taxes and one, it will cost money, and it will be my money. ”

"Come on! The king of Han went to the country, thirty taxes and one day, did the Taifu tell you personally? Or are you the Taifu? I don't know when the news comes out, and you are stupid to run to sign the book of all the people, it's stupid. ”

"Was this decree issued by the King of Han?"

"Does what King Han said work?"

"Damn, what the King of Han said doesn't work, who said it works? What the King Han said must work, I have to go and talk to my old man, tell him not to pay the tax, otherwise he won't be able to return it, and it will be a big loss." ”

"King Han is the son of the old lord, and he said that he is our new lord, what he said must work, I support King Han. ”

"No, my eldest brother is queuing up in the east of the city to sign the Book of the People, I have to tell him not to sign, if the prince really goes to the country, even if it is five taxes and one thirty taxes, it will be a big loss. ”

......

......

As soon as this decree was issued, the whole country was boiling, and this was a good government that involved all aspects, all walks of life, and every party benefited from it! There was no need to pay taxes, and at the end of the year, how many good things could be bought with the money saved! In particular, some heavily taxed industries were even more ecstatic.

"Boom!"

The one hundred and thirty cities of Chen Guo boiled in an instant, and hundreds of people rushed to the tax office, or the place where the crowd gathered to sign the book of all people.

There were still many ordinary businessmen queuing up to pay taxes in the tax office, and suddenly they saw a group of people rushing over, and many of them were people they knew, so they couldn't help but be a little curious.

"What's going on? Are all these people here to pay taxes? Since the fifth tax and one day, there shouldn't be many people who can afford to pay taxes!"

"Do you mean ......?"

The people in the tax collector's office looked at each other

Could it be that the Book of the People has worked? The King of Han has gone to the country, and Taifu has reduced taxes? It is no longer five taxes and one, but has been changed to thirty taxes and one?

Only in this way can the taxes paid by the thousands of people in this Chen country be paid, and only in this way will so many people rush in, it seems that they are afraid that it will be too late, and Taifu will raise taxes again.

Those in the government office who came to pay taxes with the deed of ownership hurriedly protected their money bags and retreated, if they could pay thirty taxes and one money, who would be willing to pay five taxes and one of their money.

And countless tax officials are also confused, whether it is really possible to reduce taxes.

If not, could it be that these people are going to rebel?

As soon as the idea arose, they rejected it themselves.

Outside the official office, the huge crowd shouted loudly before they rushed into the official office, for fear that if they were too late, the money in the money bag would become someone else's.

"Shopkeeper, don't pay the money, the prince has just issued the latest decree, and from now on, there is no need to pay taxes. ”

"The prince said that from now on, all taxes will be exempted, and there is no need to pay money. ”

......

Although the voices outside the official office were noisy, the people inside the official office finally heard a rough idea.

It's not that the prince went to the country, it's not that Fan Papi's nature has changed, but that the prince who came to Chen Country just to collect wealth in their eyes was exempt from tax because he pitied them poor people.

There was an uproar in the government office.

"Quick, Lord Wang, return the money I just paid to me, the prince said, there is no need to pay taxes. A man who had just paid his taxes said loudly.

"Yes, yes, Lord Wang, return the money quickly. ”

......

"Impossible, there is no reason not to pay taxes in this world. An official shouted: "Hurry up and line up, and pay the taxes honestly one by one." ”

"If you don't pay it, the new decree issued by the prince will not have to pay taxes from now on. One of the people shouted.

The official was a little anxious, "Bastard, how could the prince issue such an edict." ”

The purpose of the King of Han coming to Chen was to collect money, this statement, as long as the people of Chen Guo have heard it recently, I don't know how many times. Some people are already convinced.

But after today's decree came down, the image of the people who fell in the past winter instantly became taller, and those rumors of accumulating wealth were also self-defeating.

If it is for the purpose of collecting money, how can it be exempt from taxes?

Some people shouted: "You don't believe you can go and see it yourself, it is said that in Chang'an City, in order to promote the benevolence of the prince, the guard commander of Changle Palace, Rong Xu Xuanrong, personally went to the street to publicize." I don't care, you have to pay me back. ”

"No, my town north city has the rules of my town north city, I don't care whose decree, without the order of the Taifu, whoever says it is not good in my town north city. ”

"King Han's decree, do you dare not obey it? King Han's words, there is no good envoy of Taifu?" A common man's eyes widened.

"Anyway, I don't care, I don't care what the king of Han is, or what Zhou Tianzi, my Zhenbeicheng only listens to Taifu's orders, he is a foreign king, and he can't control the affairs of my Zhenbeicheng. And don't take chicken feathers as arrows, so that they are doing tax exemption here

For the actual dream, it is better to obediently sign the book of all people. Maybe he is too happy, and he really let you pay thirty taxes!"

"Phew, don't take Fan Grill...... No, Mrs. Fan is here to press me, this is the Chen State, the territory of the old lord, the King of Han is the son of the old lord, it is reasonable, we should all listen to the King of Han, what are you?"

"I don't care, I only listen to the king of Han, I only support the king of Han, the king of Han provokes us, exempts us from forced labor and taxes, you still dare to rob it, you are not afraid that the prince will cut you off. ”

"Get our money back. ”

"Follow the king's order and get our money back. ”

......

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, five taxes and one is a heavy tax, even if those people who have surplus food have paid it for a while, they are already clumsy. Some poor and weak families have to sell their houses and land, and they don't have to pay this money, who doesn't feel happy.

As for those who have paid taxes, their hearts will be even more unfair, if the family pays it, then there is nothing to say, but only they have paid, and they are naturally unhappy in their hearts, and they really can't do it when their money is blown by the wind.

So, those who paid the tax surrounded the tax office, and if they didn't return the money today, they wouldn't leave.

As for those who have not paid their taxes, they have not left, and from now on they will be exempted from all forced labor! How much is that, and how many things can be bought! If this decree is true, it will only be good for them!

So I can't go, and I didn't stay here for any money, but mainly to support the decree of the King of Han.

The officials of the tax bureau looked at the more and more people who were surrounded by them, and finally panicked, but the officials of the official office except for the officials who collected taxes, and there were only more than 100 guards left, looking at this formation, they did not dare to step forward to stop them, so they could only shrink in a corner and watch blankly. Some people who have been poor and weak for too long are already on the verge of losing their minds.

This scene did not just happen in one city and one place, but one hundred and thirty cities in the Chen Kingdom, and all cities were like this.

Fan Zeng's taxes were already very heavy before, and not long ago they were changed to five taxes and one, which is even heavier, and how many people who have paid taxes can't even eat.

Now following the order of the King of Han, you don't have to pay taxes, whoever likes to pay them, they won't pay anyway.

Some big commercial houses, the taxes paid by big families are even more terrifying and abnormal, and it is even more immeasurable after five taxes and one tax.

As a result, more and more people began to besiege the tax office.

As for the place where the book of the people is signed, it is even more chaotic, the people who organized the signing of the book of the people are all people that Fan Siyuan is looking for in private, and there is no identity of the government, and the people will have nothing to care about when they start to do it.

If you don't let me cross my name, then I'll beat you and beg me to cross my name.

The book of the people has already been sent out, it doesn't matter, we just stop those who are going to pass through our city. I guarantee that you won't be able to send a single volume into Chang'an City.

......

The one hundred and thirty cities of the Chen Kingdom, because of a decree, have become a pot of porridge.

How many of them are the people of the Temple of Death who are fueling the troubles, and maybe not even the Grim Reaper himself

Know. No one knows how much of this is due to the Temple of Death, just as no one knows if the people who can lead the people to find out exactly whether the people who transported the Book of All People are the Temple of Death or not.

In Chang'an City, Rong Xuxuan divided 10,000 guards into groups of 100 people, personally went to the streets to preach the benevolence of the Han King, and began to avoid rumors for the Han King, saying that the Han King was known for his benevolence and did this kind of goodwill. Accumulating money or something is farting, unlike some people, who are insatiable, this tax is rising and rising.

Although he did not say who it was, everyone knew who some of the people he was talking about.

After Rong Xu Xuan returned to Changle Palace, Qin Shuyu smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be a little aggrieved to let Lord Rong who galloped across the field do such a face-showing thing?"

Rong Xu Xuan said expressionlessly: "Next time there is such a thing, I will cover it." ”

Dong Buhan, who had just ridden a unicorn and passed by here, also rubbed his shoulders and said: "That old Qin! Next time there is such a thing to show up, don't forget my brother!"

Qin Shuyu smiled and nodded.

After getting Qin Shuyu's affirmation, he thought of it, hehe! When he rode the holy beast unicorn, followed by a hundred soldiers, he walked on the wide street of thieves and thieves in Chang'an City, how arrogant it must be!

When the time comes, look at Xiao Baigui, that Tie Hanhan also said that I don't have the demeanor of a general.

Thinking of that kind of scene with infinite scenery, Dong Buhan excitedly slapped the mount under him.

Damn, I have to help my eldest brother train the mount out quickly, otherwise after the eldest brother comes out of the secret realm, I can't say that I eat and drink all day long, and I will achieve nothing!

I've done a lot of things, okay!

Rong Xuxuan and Qin Shuyu walked side by side, "Lord Qin is so calculating! This plan of killing three birds with one stone not only solved the danger of the Han King and made those unfavorable rumors self-defeating, but also cut off Fan Zeng's financial route, and without taxes, Chen Guo's officialdom is afraid that it will soon become a mess of scattered sand." ”

Those who are officials also have to eat, and where the money for food comes from, it will naturally come from salaries. Where did the salaries come from? Taxes, of course.

But now that there is no tax, that is to say, Fan Zeng's financial road is cut off, and he cannot pay his salary on time, and Chen Guo's officialdom, the people's hearts may not be so united, of course, they may never be together.

The fortress began to disintegrate from within.

That's not all, this benevolent act not only broke the previous rumors, but also raised the reputation of King Han again. In the long run, King Han will only win more popular with the people.

Rong Xu Xuan asked: "It's almost autumn now, Lord Qin, do you want to issue another decree saying that the people can get back the taxes they paid this year, so that not only can Fan Zeng's financial route be completely cut off, but also let him break his wealth." There are 130 cities in this Chen country, and how many officials, big and small, will all run to him to ask for money when the time comes. Think about it, the momentum should be even more spectacular than the people blocking the tax office today!"

Qin Shuyu shook his head and said, "This thing is feasible, but it is not advisable to do it early." We are still respectful of Fan Zeng now. This face was torn by Fan Zeng first, don't you see it from Chang'an City? Most of the people who besiege the tax bureau today and ask for money are ordinary people and businessmen

Those big families are basically unmoved, why don't they move, what are they waiting for?"

"If they wait for the attitude of Weiyang Palace, if Fan Zeng is forced to be in a hurry, they have to break the net with us, and those big families are afraid that they will completely stand on the opposite side of us. ”

Some big families are involved in a lot of industries, and the taxes to be paid every year are also a huge amount, five taxes and one, which is equivalent to asking for one-fifth of their property, but they can calm down and do not go to the government office to ask for this money.

Aren't they just waiting?

If Weiyang Palace has to fight to the death, then their family members who have a close relationship with Weiyang Palace may have to get on their boat.

Rong Xu Xuan said: "I am already under martial law in Changle Palace, no matter what attitude Weiyang Palace has, I am not afraid now." ”

"Actually, there is no need for this, even if Fan Zeng is annoyed now, he doesn't dare to say that this decree is not! If he dares to say it, he will completely stand on the opposite side of the people of Chen State, he is not so stupid, he still has to rely on the Book of the People to expel the prince! Standing on the opposite side of the people, isn't his Book of the People just empty talk?"

"Do you think he'll approve of the decree?"

"A fool would approve of that!"

Rong Xu Xuan: "......"

Isn't this decree issued by you in the name of the prince? You are a bit ruthless in what you say! You even scolded yourself.

Qin Shuyu said lightly: "I promulgated it, but it doesn't mean that I agree with it!"

Rong Xu Xuan sneered slightly: "Can you be a little more shameless as a man?"

"Yes, it's okay to ask for advice like the prince. ”

......

......

In Weiyang Palace, there was silence.

Fan Zeng sat on the main seat, and several of the Taifu's henchmen all stood with their hands down and did not say a word.

It is not a wise move to speak at this time, everyone knows that Taifu is angry now, if he touches Taifu's moldy head, I am afraid that it will be boiled in the future.

Fan Zeng was also a little surprised by today's incident, and when Fan Siyuan told him that the reaction in the Changle Palace was to exempt the levy from taxation, he was also stunned for a moment.

He thought that in order to break the situation, King Han might reduce taxes to less than thirty, but he didn't expect King Han to be so ruthless and directly exempt all forced labor. Isn't this a clear cut off his wealth?

If it is reduced to less than thirty, he can accept it, and he will also start to win the hearts of the people of Chen State, otherwise he will not spread the news that the king of Han will go to the country and pay thirty taxes and one day. In order to drive away the King of Han, you can also win the hearts of the people by the way. But this directly disappeared, which really caught him off guard.

There are countless countries in the Shenzhou Continent, but no country dares to say such a thing as tax exemption.

After today, this Chen Guo is definitely the first one.

Fan Zeng said in a deep voice: "Qian Donglai, tell me your opinion as a household secretary!"

Qian Donglai, the head of the household department, swallowed his saliva, the household department is in charge of the treasury and taxation, this Han king is exempt from taxes, and it can be said that it has a lot to do with his household department, but now he doesn't know what to do! From the beginning, he was praying that Fan Zeng would not see him, but he didn't expect Fan Zeng to call him at the beginning

He said that this could be good.

Qian Donglai carefully organized the language, "Xia Guan feels that although this Han King is the ninth monarch of the Great Zhou, this Chen State is not his territory, and he is not the vassal king of Chen State, and he is not qualified to issue decrees at will in my Chen State." ”

Everyone in the hall was dazzled, but Fan Zeng's face did not change.

Qian Donglai cautiously glanced at Fan Zeng and said: "Besides, one hundred and thirty cities in the Chen Kingdom, that city is not Taifu obedient, he issued a decree, and our one hundred and thirty cities are united, and it is disrespectful." What is the use of a decree if it is not implemented? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at him with some sympathy.

What you said is right, a decree is really useless if it is not implemented. But isn't this decree a matter of whether you respect or not? You don't respect it, but some people respect it, and the millions of people in this Chen country will respect it and will implement it spontaneously. This is a decree that does not need to be supervised by the government, and the people can implement it perfectly.

It's better to say you're smart, or stupid.

After Qian Dong finished speaking, he kept his head down, not daring to raise it, for fear that as soon as he lifted it, he would fall off.

Fan Zeng did not express any opinion on Qian Donglai's words, but said to Fan Siyuan, who was trying to suppress his inner resentment: "Gather the hundred officials of Chang'an, bring all the books of the people, and follow me to Changle Palace to meet the King of Han." ”

Fan Siyuan's head was slightly raised, could it be that his father wanted to tear his face with the prince?
