Chapter 1498: Questioning Decisions

After the edict was written, the emperor of Great Britain stamped the jade seal, and then he came with the edict letter, stood up, and then walked to the door of the house.

After walking to the door of his dormitory, the Emperor of Great Britain rushed to the guards standing outside the door and said:

"Hurry up and pass the edict I conveyed to the new Lord Shangshu, and then let him pass it on as soon as possible according to my instructions, there must be no mistakes."

After the guards of the Great Britain Kingdom received the edict from the hands of the Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom, they also responded:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then the guard of Great Britain walked away quickly.

After the Emperor of Great Britain calmed down a bit, he also felt that there was still a way to solve the next situation of facing the empty treasury.

After all, the current Great Britain Kingdom is like a thousand holes, and there are many problems that need to be solved, but the Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom also understands in his heart that only by grasping the main and important problems to solve them can we achieve results.

If you mess up at this time, it will only make the Great Britain Kingdom fall into a worse situation.

Soon, the new Lord Shangshu of the Great Britain Kingdom also received an edict from the Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom.

After reading the edict issued by the Emperor of Great Britain, he also felt that this move by the Emperor of Great Britain was a little inappropriate.

Therefore, the Lord of the Great Britain Kingdom immediately took the edict issued by the Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom and prepared to enter the palace of the Great Britain Kingdom, and went to the Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom to discuss this matter again.

Lord Shangshu of the Great Britain Kingdom soon entered the Imperial Palace of the Great Britain Kingdom.

After entering the palace of the Great Britain Kingdom, the Lord of the Great Britain Kingdom Shangshu walked quickly in the direction of the bedroom of the Great Britain Emperor.

It didn't take long for Lord Shangshu of the Great Britain Kingdom to walk to the palace of the Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom.

After entering the palace of the Emperor of Great Britain, Lord Shangshu of Great Britain walked to the Emperor of Great Britain sitting on the dragon chair, and then hugged his fists and first worshipped:

"See the emperor for the lower officials."

When the Emperor of Great Britain saw that the new Lord Shangshu had entered his dormitory and came up to pay homage to him, he immediately said:

"Flat."

Lord Da Britannica Shangshu clenched his fists and straightened his waist, and then said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom immediately asked the Lord of the Great Britain Kingdom:

"Why did you come to meet me? You have read the edict I issued before, have you ordered it to go down? ”

The Lord of the Great Britain Kingdom immediately replied:

"If you go back to the emperor, after receiving your edict, the lower officials also read the edict carefully, and felt that the emperor's move was inappropriate.

After listening to the words of Lord Shangshu of Great Britain, the Emperor of Great Britain suddenly said with a solemn and tangled face:

"Oh! This is a policy that I have carefully conceived to deal with the emptiness of our treasury, so why should you question my decision! What's wrong with that! If you say it, I'd like to hear it. ”

The Lord of the Great Britain Kingdom immediately clenched his fists and continued:

"Your Majesty, the edict you conveyed says that it is only for the rich people and businessmen in various places to levy high taxes, and the lower officials feel that the imposition of additional taxes on the rich people and businessmen in various places is a last resort method to supplement the treasury, but if the emperor sets the amount of this additional tax too high, it will inevitably make the rich people and businessmen in various places feel uneasy and frightened, and even cause them to rebel, after all, it is impossible for the emperor to temporarily fill the treasury of the treasury. Such a harsh tax policy for wealthy people and merchants in various places was specified! There are serious consequences for doing so! Xia Guan hopes that the emperor can think twice! ”

The Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom listened to the Great Britain Kingdom Shangshu has doubts and opinions about the edict issued by him, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and then said slowly:

"Lord Shangshu! Do you know that during the reign of the emperor, the treasury of our Great Britain Kingdom was seriously empty, and after I ascended the throne and became the new emperor of our Great Britain Kingdom, I put the wealth and silver I had accumulated for many years into the treasury, so that the treasury of the Great Britain Kingdom would not continue to be empty. Otherwise, it will bring an unfavorable situation to our Great Britain Kingdom, and it can be said that the emperor did not deal with the problem of the empty treasury, so that the people everywhere rebelled, so that the people everywhere revolted. ”

Lord Da Britannica choked up for a moment, and then clenched his fists and continued:

"What the emperor said, the lower officials have heard of it before, and they also think that the empty treasury is not a trivial matter, but the lower officials feel that it is not advisable to just rely on the rich and businessmen from all over the country to levy high taxes on them to fill the national treasury."

The Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom couldn't help laughing, and then his face sank, and his face changed in an instant, looking at the Lord of the Great Britain Kingdom with a stern face:

"Oh! If you have any opinions, Lord Shangshu, you can put it forward for me to hear, and if your method is better, then I can also listen to it! If you can't think of a better way to question my strategy, then you're deliberately finding fault and trying to solve a problem for me, right? ”

Lord Da Britannica was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down with his fists and said:

"The lower officials don't dare, how dare the lower officials casually question the emperor's instructions and strategies, the lower officials just think that the emperor can appropriately levy some taxes on the rich and businessmen in various places, which is also okay! Don't kill chickens for eggs! In this way, it will cause turmoil in various places, but it is not good, and the lower officials will not be able to think of a better way to deal with the problem of the empty treasury, but the lower officials' advice also hopes that the emperor can think about and consider it well, after all, this income tax is not a one-time payment, it will be collected every month and every year, if the rich and businessmen in our country are forced to a dead end, it will also cause an unfavorable situation for the imperial court! ”

After listening to the words of Lord Shangshu of the Great Britain Kingdom, he also frowned, and instantly felt that what Lord Shangshu said was not completely unreasonable.

The Emperor of Great Britain was stunned, and then after pondering for a while, he looked at the Lord of Great Britain who was kneeling on the ground in front of him and said:

"I really think there is some truth to what you say! If they collect high taxes from the rich and merchants everywhere every month and every year, they will not be able to resist for long, and if they cannot bear it, or if they cannot pay their goods and taxes, then it will be a passive situation for the treasury of our Great Britain Kingdom! ”

When the Lord of the Great Britain Kingdom suddenly relented when he heard that the Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom, he immediately clenched his fists and said excitedly:

"Yes, Your Majesty! You've finally figured it out! The lower officials came to the emperor to discuss this matter, hoping that the emperor would understand that this method of killing chickens and eggs is not feasible, although in a short period of time can bring a steady stream of wealth and silver to the treasury, but there will definitely be a huge risk, if the rich and businessmen everywhere in the future once they cannot pay the taxes, once the treasury is cut off, they will still face the emptiness of the treasury! If the emperor changes his strategy and only appropriately increases the taxes of some rich people and merchants in various places, and the impact on these rich people and merchants is not great, then they can ensure that they pay their taxes on time every month and every year! In this way, the treasury can receive an endless stream of money and silver, so that the emptiness of our treasury can be slowly and fundamentally improved, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, only a temporary fullness of the treasury, and the future treasury will once again fall into the swamp of emptiness! ”

After listening carefully to the words of Lord Shangshu of Great Britain, he also nodded slowly, with a feeling of sudden realization, and his mood suddenly brightened up a lot.

The Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the Lord of the Great Britain Kingdom who was kneeling on the ground, and said with emotion:

"Well, I understand now, I didn't expect that Lord Shangshu's brain could still be used! Your advice is still good, and it seems that I am indeed a little too anxious to understand and understand your fundamental meaning. ”

After finishing speaking, the Emperor of Great Britain continued:

"Lord Shangshu stand up and speak, don't kneel like this."

The Lord of the Great Britain Kingdom immediately stood up slowly, and said to the Emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom as he stood up:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

After the emperor of the Great Britain Kingdom was stunned, he immediately asked:

"Lord Shangshu thinks that how much additional taxes should be levied on the rich and merchants in various places is reasonable, so that they can pay money and silver to the treasury for many years?"

Lord Da Britannica pondered for a moment, and then gave his own opinions and suggestions, saying:

"The lower officials thought that the amount of additional taxes levied on the rich and merchants in various places should be changed from two taels of silver per person per household per month to one tael of silver, so that although the amount of silver collected by the state treasury per month and per year may be less than half of that of two taels, the amount of taxes paid by the state treasury would be acceptable to the rich and merchants everywhere, and as long as they could earn more than one tael of silver per month, it would be enough to ensure that the amount of taxes paid would not be paid. In this way, we can have a steady stream of silver taels and property in the treasury of the Great Britain Kingdom, which is equivalent to adding the reduced taxes and silver taels to the rich people and businessmen in disguise, which can not only make the people live a stable life, but also make the rich and businessmen everywhere feel that they can pay it, which is naturally a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, why not do it for the emperor. ”
