Chapter 160: Claiming the King (2) Asking for a Monthly Pass!

this day.

The lights in the royal city are colorful, the streets and alleys are full of big red flowers, and all the people are laughing and jubilant, lively and noisy.

Today is not a festival, but for the people of the city, it is more happy than the New Year; For all the royal city was covered with signs, so that all the people saw hope.

Notice: From this day onwards, all death row inmates will be pardoned; All the people under my jurisdiction will not count the taxes owed to the court, and the future taxes will only be collected as personal taxes, that is, between the ages of 15 and 50, and no one will pay a load of grain every year; All other taxes are exempted.

This notice was posted by Wang Xu's order, and for the people, this is posted by the government, and there is no need to doubt its authenticity, which means that their lives will be much better in the future.

In the past, there were many taxes, land tax, poll tax, military tax, official tax, etc., and there were many taxes that needed to be paid, such as the emperor's birthday, the prince's wedding, etc., and even more hateful, all the people had to serve every year, and they didn't give any remuneration, which made Wang Xu extremely angry after seeing it, isn't this fucking bullying! In a fit of rage, Wang Xu exempted all taxes, leaving only personal taxes, and this tax is still a reduced version; Anyway, there is a lot of grain in the treasury of the royal city, so there is no worry about running out of food at all.

Jia Hui strongly opposed this, but Wang Xu insisted on going his own way, and he had to issue it according to the order.

The effect of this notice shocked Wang Xu and others, and all the people had no previous fear, and they jumped on the streets one after another, and also took out red cloth and silk to hang all over the city, and some people gathered together to take out food from their homes and send it to the palace, saying that they were going to give it to the army in the city to eat.

Looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, Wang Xu smiled: "This people, that is, they are used to being bullied, just such a little favor, it is also worth making a fuss, if this is in our place, the court will not only not collect taxes." It is also necessary to subsidize the people. ”

Jia Hui smiled dumbly: "The lord said that he was joking, how can there be a court that pays money to the people." ”

"Hehe, don't believe it, it's in my hometown." Wang Xu said.

Jia Hui didn't believe it even if he was killed. When Wang Xu was joking, the taxes in this royal city have opened Jia Hui's eyes, from ancient times to the present, how can there be such a thing. Only a small amount of personal tax is collected, which even officials cannot afford to pay, how can the country develop.

Thinking of the big battle a few days ago, Wang Xu said: "Have the casualties of the soldiers and the money and food of the government treasury been counted?" ”

Jia Hui's expression was straight, and he immediately took out another bamboo slip and said, "It's all on this, and the statistics have been completed." ”

Wang Xu took it and looked at it carefully, and after reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief. The losses are simply disproportionate compared to the gains.

It is written on the bamboo slip that 40,000 ordinary soldiers, 530 centurions, and 45 lieutenants were killed in this battle; 48,000 enemy troops were captured, of which 30,000 were elite soldiers; There are also 60,000 taels of gold and 4 million taels of silver, not counting the money; Armor, spears, bows and arrows, and countless others, the most fortunate thing for Wang Xu was that he also captured more than 10,000 Hexi war horses. If all of them are trained to become elite soldiers, it will be amazing, and the strength will increase greatly!

"Okay, call Sun Yu for me. The horses were all handed over to him. ”

Jia Hui seemed to hesitate, paused and said, "Lord, is there any consideration for handing over all the war horses to Commander Sun Yu?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Jia Hui said: "Sun Yu's military exploits are very outstanding, but Zhang Meng, Qiancang, Min Ling and other generals have also made great contributions, how is the lord going to be placed?" ”

Jia Hui's meaning is very clear. It is necessary for Wang Xu to have a bowl of water flat, and he can't be thick; Wang Xu has already figured out this, as long as he makes meritorious contributions, there will be rewards, and he will never treat any general badly, even if it is Liu Yang, Wang Xu has also taken it into account, in the past three days, Wang Xu has drawn up a list of rewards for all soldiers, just to be announced.

casually picked up a piece of fiber paper on the table, which was paper that only nobles could use, and handed it to Jia Hui, Wang Xu said: "Look, this is the general who will be enthroned tomorrow, and the policy to be implemented next." ”

Jia Hui took a look at it, and immediately rejoiced, because the first line was written about him, and Jia Hui was named the Minister of Military Aircraft, Zheng Sanpin, 300 taels of silver per year, and a high-class government office, 1,000 taels of silver...

After looking at it, he frowned again: "Lord, what is the official position of this Minister of Military Aircraft?" How come the subordinates have never heard of it? ”

Wang Xu smiled secretly, of course Jia Hui had never heard of it, because this was an official position from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty in ancient China, and Wang Xu had already sorted out those official positions in ancient China and perfected them.

"This is my newly set official position, which is very different from the imperial court, but in comparison, my official position is more complete than that of the imperial court." Wang Xu said.

Jia Hui took a closer look, and immediately admired: "The lord is talented, and he can't recover." ”

There are also a lot of rewarded generals on the paperwork, Jia Hui is very satisfied after reading it, I think all the generals will not have any complaints, but the official position of the generals is there, what about Wang Xu? Is he just a little Jingliao general?

"What about you, lordship?"

Looking at the Chinese book in his hand, Jia Hui said, "Even Qiancang, Min Ling and others have been made generals, and the lord is still a little Jingliao general, isn't it a little inappropriate?" It's hard to convince the public. ”

What Jia Hui said is not unreasonable, this is also the most difficult thing for Wang Xu, to reward those official positions, the rewarder should at least be a 'king'. But what about Wang Xu, a miscellaneous general, is too incompetent.

"What do you think?"

Jia Hui stroked his beard and said, "The lord may wish to invite the people to discuss politics in the future and listen to their opinions." ”

Wang Xu knew very well in his heart that in everyone's hearts, I am afraid that he would have long hoped that he would be king, because only when he was king, they would get more rewards and glorify their ancestors; But is it really good to be king now?

"Okay, recruit all the generals, and take the Qiandian to discuss the matter!"

"No." Jia Hui smiled and walked out of the room slowly.

...............

An hour later.

In the Chengqian Palace, all the generals gathered, even Ye Xiong came, Sun Yu, Huang Quan, Li Zhi, Qin Shuang, Qiancang, etc., a total of more than a dozen people, everyone stood in the hall and was not idle, they were all looking around at the glory of the hall, especially the top throne, which made people have endless majesty at a glance, and there was an urge to bow down and worship.

Sun Yu looked at Jia Hui and said, "Mr. Jia, do you know what the Lord is calling me to come to?" ”

And they all gathered around.

Jia Hui smiled: "Do you want to get a reward?" Do you want to glorify your ancestors? ”

Huang Quan said with a smile: "Mr. Jia, look at what you asked, who doesn't want to, although we all lead an army to fight on the battlefield alone, but we don't have any official positions, and our name is not right." ”

Everyone echoed Huang Quan's remarks.

Jia Hui paused and whispered: "If you want to get a reward, you all listen to me, and then you all speak to the lord..." Jia Hui said a lot of words with a smile, constantly instigating everyone.

Everyone nodded their heads again and again, all of them were angry and eager to try. (To be continued.) )
