292: Amnesty to the world

The edict on the throne was very long, and it took about ten minutes to read it, and the one who read the edict always maintained the characteristics of a consistent voice, a steady tone, and extremely smoothness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The person who read the holy decree was an official of the former Qing Rites Department, and his main responsibility was to train the eunuchs in various rituals, including the way of reading various holy decrees, and so on.

According to the new regulations of the Chinese Empire, the ministers will be divided according to the color of the robes, which are dark red, light red, dark blue, light blue, dark yellow, light yellow, gray, gray and white, dark blue, light blue, black, light black, purple, light purple, orange, light orange, white, and beige for official uniforms.

The heavy color is positive, and the light color is from.

Wang Sirui himself disagrees with the formulation of court clothes, he feels that everything he wears is the same, and there is no need to divide it so clearly.

But the people below don't think so, obviously influenced by the ideas of the previous dynasty. In the end, Wang Sirui had to compromise, but this rule was also changed, and all officials only wore official clothes when they were in court, and they could wear civilian clothes on weekdays.

To be precise, the edict being read now cannot be called the edict of enthronement, but the edict of the founding of the country.

The edict explained in detail the national system, the central administrative department, etc., and announced the new capital, Zhongjing, and then it was Fengtian to carry Yunyun, anyway, how to listen to it.

In fact, this is also the first time that these ministers have learned about these brand-new departments, which are very different from many yamen in the former Qing Dynasty, but if you think about it carefully, there are many similarities, but the name has been changed, and then the functions and powers of the department have changed slightly.

And the most puzzling thing is the two chambers, the Legislative Yuan and the Supreme Court.

The Legislative Yuan, which everyone understands, is the department that discusses the law, and the Criminal Department also had this responsibility before, and after discussion, it will report to the Holy God at the court meeting, and if it is passed, it can be directly implemented.

Many people even think that this Legislative Yuan is actually a separate department of the Criminal Department, but in fact, its responsibilities are still the same as before.

Compared with the Legislative Yuan, which is more acceptable to everyone, what is this Supreme Court?

In ancient times, the yamen represented everything, no matter what you need to do, as long as you find the yamen, after getting there, everything from reporting murder and arson, to fighting and brawling, trivial things can be solved there.

However, in this form of government, the power of the government is too great, and a county order can be combined with great power, of course, this will make it easier for officials to govern, but there are also many drawbacks in it.

The Supreme Court, the direct superior of many courts across the country, is a system that is isolated from the government, and it is not under the leadership of the government, but only accountable to the emperor.

"Respectfully invite the emperor to ascend the throne......" Seeing that the official who read the holy decree left the high platform, the eunuch on the side read out the next link according to the steps planned before after receiving Wang Shizhen's instructions.

With the eunuch's shout, except for the armed guards, all the ministers in the palace knelt down to welcome the arrival of the new emperor Sirui.

Surrounded by everyone, Wang Sirui walked into the hall very awkwardly.

Faintly, there is a feeling of excitement, and there is some excitement, but all this can not be shown, on the surface, Wang Sirui must be calm, calm, and calm.

Ascending the high platform, let the ministers get up, pick up the jade seal that had been prepared, display it in public, and then sit on the dragon chair.

When Wang Sirui sat on the dragon chair, it meant that he had truly become the emperor, the founding emperor of a country.

Some officials from the propaganda department in the neighborhood took the old-fashioned cameras and recorded this precious moment.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" As Wang Sirui sat on the dragon chair, the ministers knelt on the ground again, unlike the previous time, this time the ministers had slogans in their mouths, instead of kneeling to greet them.

It feels good to worship 10,000 people, and it's no wonder that so many people have wanted to be emperors throughout the ages. But how can this emperor be so easy? is in a high position, but every day must be careful. ’

"Your Majesty! It's time for the adults to get up......" The little eunuch beside him reminded in a low voice, it was obvious that Wang Sirui was distracted at this moment, but even so, the ministers who knelt on the ground did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, and could only put their foreheads close to the ground, not daring to make any movement.

"Zhu Aiqing is flat!" After being reminded by the little eunuch, Wang Sirui came back to his senses and secretly blamed himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers expressed their gratitude, and then slowly got up.

Wang Sirui nodded to the eunuch, and the eunuch understood, and the eunuch who had prepared another eunuch on the side hurriedly ascended to the high platform, holding a rectangular tray in his hand, on which a holy decree lay quietly.

This decree was drawn up by Wang Sirui himself, except for Wang Sirui, no one knows the content of this decree, but this link is a link that must be carried out by the new emperor to ascend the throne to show the benevolence of the emperor.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said!"

"At the beginning of the empire, it was not stable, and the world should be amnesty, and the whole world should celebrate, however, I heard that the victims were wronged, and the family members washed their faces with tears, and the Supreme Court was specially ordered to survey the prisoners across the country, and release the prisoners with minor cases to reunite with their relatives, and the rest of the criminals were not ****.

However, the new emperor ascended the throne, he should have granted amnesty to the world, I heard the suffering of the people, years of war, displacement, **** three years of taxation in the world, because of the beginning of the empire, a hundred wastes to be rebuilt, I think of no money and no development, I intend to change the tax to six years halved, hope that the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and celebrate the whole world together......"

The holy decree was drawn up by Wang Sirui himself, and as a later generation, he didn't understand classical Chinese at all, so he actually had a bit of a bullshit feeling about the formulation of the holy decree (well, in fact, the author Jun didn't understand the holy decree).

Although there were some flaws in the wording, everyone understood the meaning of the decree.

For the people of the world, this amnesty can be called a real amnesty.

In the past, only those prisoners were pardoned, except for death row prisoners, ******, and prisoners whose cases were particularly egregious.

This time, however, the amnesty granted only a few of the prisoners in minor cases, and then granted a three-year tax exemption to the nation.

No emperor dared to do this for two thousand years before the Chinese Empire. Because this means that the imperial court will not have any income within three years, let alone development, and it will be difficult to maintain itself.

Wang Sirui obviously also took this problem into account, so he adopted the method of halving the tax, saying that it was exempted for three years, but it was solved by halving it in six years, and it was actually exempted for three years, so that the court would not have any income.

And for this amnesty, the people are the happiest people.

As the edict of amnesty was passed out of the palace by the officials who had been arranged in advance, all the people in the capital who heard the content of the edict of amnesty, or merchants, all knelt down to thank them.

Tax exemption, for the people, is something that has never been experienced.

"Your Majesty Shengming, thank you, Your Majesty......" In the capital, the people could not hide the excitement in their hearts, and they thanked them with excited nonsense, and even some people were so excited that they couldn't even speak clearly.

"No, I want to spread the news as soon as possible, so that more people know Your Majesty's benevolence, Your Majesty is really the true dragon son sent by God to save our people......" One of the people said excitedly with tears on his face, and his steps trembled as he ran.

Immediately, this common man took more people away, and in the blink of an eye, the news of the amnesty spread all over the capital, and it was spreading to other places with lightning speed.

In the provinces of the country, they were also receiving telegrams from the capital, and when the telegraph operator had translated the code of the holy decree of amnesty to the world, the local government immediately sent people to post notices announcing the benevolence of the new emperor.

The people of ancient times, who did not pay taxes? All kinds of miscellaneous and harsh taxes, at most, even overwhelm the people.

In the past, the amnesty of the world was done by some prisoners, of course, this would make the people of the world feel that the emperor was benevolent, but after all, it was a pardon of prisoners, and it had nothing to do with the majority of the people.

It is even no exaggeration to say that after the holy decree of amnesty came out, Wang Sirui's prestige in the Chinese Empire instantly reached a burst level, far surpassing any emperor in Chinese history.

"Halving in six years? Isn't this still collected? An old farmer frowned slightly after hearing the news of the amnesty for three years.

In his opinion, three years of exemption is three years without any taxes, and six years of halving, in fact, it is equivalent to no reduction at all, no matter how much I pay, anyway, it is taught.

"Zhang Tugou, you are really a dirt dog. Let me ask you, how much should I pay one tael of silver a year, but how much should I pay in six years? Muramasa looked at Zhang Tugou and asked angrily, I don't understand such a simple truth, have I lived on a dog for most of my life? Although you have a dog in your name......

"I count...... It seemed to be six taels of silver. Zhang Tugou counted with his fingers for a long time, and then replied uncertainly.

"So after the halving, how much should I pay in a year?"

"Half a tael of silver, do you really think I'm stupid?"

"So how much should I pay for six years?"

"......" Zhang Tugou scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Muramasa, if you know, just say it directly, knowing that I can't figure it out, why should I be embarrassed?" ”

"I'm really a dog, I've served you." Muramasa was speechless, and immediately said seriously: "Two years is one tael, and six years is not three one tael?" If it is not halved, you should pay six taels in six years, and now you only need to pay three taels in six years. ”

"Well, it seems a little complicated, this ......"

"It's really a beep dog...... "Muramasa almost vomited blood and died, he said it so clearly, he didn't even understand. (To be continued.) )
