Chapter 649: What should I do if I don't have money? Tax increase!
"Haha!" Wei Shang couldn't help laughing, "You are the most shameless envoy I have ever seen in my life, but it doesn't matter, tell me, why did the Moon Empire attack my Great Wei?" What is the reason for the Moon Empire? You must know that the founding empress of the Yue Empire has set up ancestral teachings, and she must not meddle in any political affairs of the Wei Empire, let alone lead troops to attack Wei. ”
Bi Xinyue first handed over the declaration of war to the female official entourage behind her, and then said to Wei Shang with righteousness and awe: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Wei, when it comes to deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, it is a great rebellion, you Wei Shang is probably the originator of this aspect, and this alone makes Da Yue have enough reasons to crusade against you, a traitor!" ”
"Wei Shang, cherish your current throne, I believe that it won't be long before the prince's palace will lead the thief master to attack!"
"Presumptuous!" Wei Shang roared angrily, suddenly got up from the dragon chair, stretched out his hand and pointed at Bi Xinyue with angry eyes, and shouted angrily: "Take it down for me, drag her out and kill her with a cane, no, strip her naked, throw her on the street, and let the beggars in the city ravage her!" ”
The fall of Dagu City was not enough to make him, the emperor of Great Wei, thunderous, but Bi Xinyue's words directly ignited his powder keg!
"Humph!" Bi Xinyue snorted coldly, and immediately took out a dagger from his sleeve, and when he saw Bi Xinyue take out a dagger, the civil and military officials were shocked, and subconsciously exclaimed:
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"Escort!"
Trample... Trample...
The Divine Emperor Hall was in chaos in an instant, and all the civil and military officials gathered under the high platform to protect Wei Shang, and at the same time, a large number of armed Imperial Forest troops also poured into the hall, surrounding Bi Xinyue and the two female officials in the three outer layers.
"Get out of here!"
Wei Shang stepped down from the high platform, kicked away the minister who was in front of him with one foot or two feet, and at the same time reached out to touch the sword on his waist, 'brush', a sharp sword light flashed with a pleasant sword sound, after pulling out the sword in the sheath, Wei Shang walked towards Bi Xinyue with the sword, today, he has to kill Bi Xinyue with his own hands, otherwise it is not enough to relieve hatred.
"Wei Shang, you will die a miserable death, hahaha!" Bi Xinyue laughed wildly, and then under the shocked gaze of everyone, he fiercely held the dagger and wiped it towards his neck, and the blood gushing out of Bi Xinyue's neck was spurted out, and the person who was alive just now quickly turned into a cold corpse on the ground.
"Poof!"
The two female officers killed themselves backwards, and blood splattered all over the hall!
"Damn!"
"Damn it!"
Watching the person he wanted to kill commit suicide, a nameless anger rushed straight towards Wei Shang Tianlinggai, causing Wei Shang to jump like thunder, frantically waving the sword in his hand to slash the air, venting the monstrous anger in his heart.
This is a blatant insult!
"Spread my will, send troops to attack the moon, slaughter the Guangyue Empire, and leave no chickens and dogs!" Wei Shang gritted his teeth and shouted in an extremely low voice!
Angry, he was really angry, he had never been so angry!
The ministers of civil and military affairs knelt on the ground one after another, and shouted with angry expressions: "The ministers obey Your Majesty's will!" ”
Anyone can give birth, but the moon people can't be born, and the country must be slaughtered!
"Retreat!"
"Ministers and other respectful to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the war machine of the Great Wei Empire was in operation again, and one after another decrees came from the capital of the Zhongtian Emperor, and these wills were not only aimed at the armies of various places, but also for the government offices all over the country, and even more for the Wei people in the whole world!
Before the Great Wei Empire attacked the Great Wu Empire, the treasury had one billion taels of silver and hundreds of millions of stone grain, but after five years of fighting the war to destroy Wu, the treasury shrank greatly, leaving only 700 million taels of silver and 60 million stone grain.
After the destruction of the Wu Empire, not only did not stop the consumption of the treasury, but the consumption became faster and faster, because it needed to be defended when it was defeated, and it was necessary to defend it with money and grain, which cost money, so in the four-year war of exterminating Yue, the Great Wei treasury had only one or two hundred million taels of silver and twenty million stone grains left.
Before Wei ascended the throne, the Great Wei brought a million armor, after ascending the throne, Wei Shang expanded the army by one million, the empire had two million soldiers with armor, and the two million army had one mouth, which was 20,000 stone in one day, 200,000 stone in ten days, 2 million stone in 100 days, and more than 7 million stone in a year!
Originally, the Great Wei Empire was still self-sufficient, there was no need to worry about food, and there was no need to worry about finance, the annual fiscal revenue of the Great Wei was 60 million taels of silver, but after ten years of foreign wars, the financial revenue of the Great Wei fell from 60 million taels of silver to 20 million taels of silver, and the grain tax also dropped from 20 million stones a year to 8 million stones a year!
The annual financial deficit has made the huge treasury of the Great Wei Empire close to exhaustion, and Wei Shang originally wanted to take a break for two years and restore a little national strength in the Cutting Moon Empire, but under the anger, he lost his patience, but what if the treasury has no money and no food?
Add taxes!
Such as poll tax, male tax, field tax, emperor (queen, queen mother) shengchen tax, military tax, water conservancy tax, etc., only you can't think of taxes, there is no tax he can't receive, it can be said that as long as the emperor is willing, the people may have to pay more than a dozen taxes overnight, which can squeeze a rich people into a dry life!
The emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty spent hundreds of years to strengthen the country and enrich the people, and abolished dozens of miscellaneous taxes, and Wei Shang spent ten years to make the country poor and weak, picking up the taxes abolished by the ancestors, in fact, Wei Shang also understood that this would make the people's lives very miserable, but he had no choice but to be reckless to the end, even if he hit the south wall, he had to collapse the south wall!
After receiving the will, the army of the Great Wei immediately led the army to the border of the Moon Empire, and after the local government received the will, they immediately sent people to collect all kinds of miscellaneous taxes and taxes within the jurisdiction, and for a while, the people everywhere complained, maybe because the people could still eat a mouthful of food and clothing, there was no rebellion in the Great Wei, maybe when the people could not even get a mouthful of food and clothing, all over the country would rise up! Of course, that's an afterthought!
.....
On the first day of the first month of the twenty-first year of the Holy Qin, five o'clock in the first month!
Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Qilin Palace!
At this time, the sky was in a hazy state, and under the white jade stairs outside the Qilin Palace, the civil official group headed by Zhang Feizi and Chang Zifei stood on the left, and the military attache group headed by Bai Qi and Du Changjing stood on the right, and they were all waiting for the court meeting to begin.
After a few months, all the 10 million aid grain from the imperial court arrived in various parts of the Jin territory, except for the garrisons in various places to take some grain as military food, and the rest of the grain was distributed to the Jin people as a comfort!
