Zhao Pu didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin was thinking now, otherwise he wouldn't be secretly happy, and he was still continuing to state his own opinion.

"The power of taxation can only be in the hands of the imperial court, taxation is the foundation of the country, and the fundamental situation cannot be shaken."

"The state's various expenditures do not come from taxes, and without the guarantee of taxes, what hope does the country have?"

"Isn't it a mistake in itself to give the power of taxation to the local feudal towns, and isn't that tantamount to ceding the very essence of the state to them?"

"The local feudal towns have their own power to collect taxes, and they have the capital to become bigger, and with such capital, they still have the courage to rebel, can the imperial court restrain them at that time?"

"They want people in their hands, they want money and money, as if one party is strong and hungry, can the court command them?"

Zhao Pu said so much in one breath, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

； The power of taxation in all dynasties and dynasties was tightly grasped by the imperial court in their own hands, and the policy of monopoly of salt and iron was implemented.

Why is this so?

Taxation is the foundation of all state expenditures, and the normal operation of the state is the test of him, otherwise the country will not be paralyzed.

Besides, what is the policy of the monopoly of salt and iron, these things are also an important source of taxes, because they are all needed on a daily basis.

It is a commonly used thing, and no one does not need it, so it is also a considerable water tax, so the imperial court should control it in its own hands.

"You're right, I understand this, but the bad habits that have been formed over the past hundred years are not something that I can change if I want to, and I can't go back to heaven!"

Zhao Kuangyin sighed heavily, didn't he want to change this state in his heart, of course he wanted to.

As an emperor who wants to make a difference, he naturally hopes that he will do something earth-shattering.

He hopes even more that he can sweep away the bad habits since the end of the Tang Dynasty and then unify the world, which is his ambition. But if you really implement it, it's not so easy, and it's really a lot of resistance.

This is not something that can be imagined in a day or two, but a gradual formation in the past hundred years, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to get rid of it at one time.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be anxious, everything has to come step by step, especially such a major event, you can't be in a hurry, otherwise it will backfire."

Zhao Pu saw Zhao Kuangyin's melancholy look, and couldn't help but persuade.

You can't solve this matter if you are in a hurry, you can only take it slowly, approach step by step, step by step, step by step, and fight steadily.

As the saying goes, if you don't smell and don't seek politics, Zhao Pu is not an emperor, where will he understand the mind of an emperor.

If he was an emperor himself, he would probably have the same thoughts as Zhao Kuangyin, but he couldn't understand Zhao Kuangyin's mood.

Although he sat on the dragon throne, he still lived in instability every day, and he couldn't eat or sleep well.

How can others be allowed to snore under the couch, but now there are not only others sleeping soundly, but also sleeping more fragrantly than this old Zhao, the emperor.

If you are in such an environment, I believe you will also have Zhao Kuangyin's mood.

"Seeing that you Zhao Pu is so calm, don't give me a dumb riddle, tell me what you think in your heart, I can't wait."

You Zhao Pu said so much here, don't you just want to talk about your attention, you don't say reads after doing so much foreshadowing;.

This Zhao Kuangyin couldn't sit still, he could wait for anything, but there were some things he couldn't wait.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks so, according to our expectations, don't you want to take back the military power, take back the military power, this feudal town has no more than half of the threat, naturally it can't compete with the imperial court."

The army is the basis for the arrogance of those feudal towns, and they rely on these armies to do mischief.

With someone in his hand and a weapon in his hand, he has a hard waist, and he can even compete with the court and bargain with his own boss.

Now that they have no military power, they can't command the army, which is equivalent to a tiger without teeth, and what kind of madness is there.

"Yes, if these feudal envoys do not have an army in their hands, their threat to the imperial court will not exist, which means that I can abolish these feudal towns at any time."

Zhao Kuangyin's freedom exploded at this moment, as if he had taken back the military power in the hands of the Jiedu envoy.

"Your Majesty is right, without military power, they are like tigers without teeth, like grasshoppers after autumn, they can't stumble for a few days, and this is the best time to take back the financial power."

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, this Zhao Pu grasped the timing just right, and when a tiger had just pulled out its teeth, he was further stripping off other people's tiger skins.

It's not ruthless, it's the right time, it's pressing, the timing is just right, there's nothing better than this time.

You must know that if it is late, it will change, and if the festival envoys of these feudal towns raise troops at this time because of resentment, it will really be over.

Because they have always been in the place and know everything, if they are redrawn because of their military power, and they are recruited again, it will be a big trouble.

Because they have ruled the place for many years, they are familiar with each other, conscription is like a home-cooked meal, and more importantly, they have money in their hands.

In these years, money can make ghosts grind, or turn around and say that money can make grinding ghosts more suitable, and anything can happen for money.

For example, if you pay a starting price, you can let these people go and assassinate the emperor openly.

This is also what Zhao Pu is most worried about, so he said something similar about striking while the iron is hot.

"Your Majesty, after taking back the military power anyway, at this time, we must pacify the soldiers of these feudal towns as soon as possible, it is they who establish the idea of loyalty and patriotism, and then implement the power to recover taxes."

"I don't think this is a bit too fast, after all, I just took back the military power from them, and at this time I have to take back their financial power, isn't it a bit unkind."

Zhao Kuangyin is worthy of the title of Emperor of Benevolence and Righteousness, and at this time he is still thinking about whether it is a bit unkind if he does this.

You don't feel close to people, so what are you still thinking about taking back the military power, wouldn't that be even more unkind?

Zhao Pu thought in his heart, and at the same time shook his head helplessly in his heart, this emperor is good at everything, but he is too emotional.

You must know that as an emperor, don't be swayed by your own feelings, otherwise it will affect your judgment.

The ancient kings called themselves widows, and widows mean lonely people, and they really didn't recognize their relatives for their own country, and they became lonely people, which is also appropriate.

"But Your Majesty, you must know that if it is too late, it will change, these people are all prestige in the local area, if they hold this financial power in their hands again, if they have a grudge and raise their arms, someone will definitely respond."

These festival envoys are all snake-like characters, how many years have they been operating in the place, not to mention that they are resentful, even if they are a little dissatisfied, they will rebel again.

"If this is really the case, even if they don't have the power to fight, they can quickly gather a group of people, and even if the imperial court can successfully suppress them, it will inevitably lead to losses."

Zhao Pu meant that the imperial court would definitely be able to win a big victory, but it would also have to pay a certain price, which was self-evident.

"In order to minimize the loss, we still act as soon as possible, you must know that they are all the people of my Great Song, in the final analysis, it is my Great Song who loses."

Zhao Pu said it in a crying voice, just his performance, it was enough for the actor, under his attack of a handful of snot and tears, Zhao Kuangyin was defeated and reads;.

"Then tell me about the specific operation of Ruhe, I still don't know what your specific strategy is?"

Zhao Kuangyin agreed, the emperor should be decisive, where can he be indecisive?

"Your Majesty, the minister's method is very simple, that is, the imperial court will set up a special agency to collect local taxes and transport them back to the central government."

"In this way, there is no possibility of rebellion in the local area, because they have no income from taxes, so what can they do to rebel?"

Zhao Pu didn't know how long he had been thinking about this strategy, but now he finally said it, thanks to his experience when he was poor and selling illicit salt.

Back then, when they got the private salt from the hands of the big salt lords, they had to pay more money than the value of the private salt, so as not to let you sell the salt barons, and you could get back the mortgage money when you sold all the private salt.

Although this is something that is out of touch, Zhao Pu understands the importance of money, don't you have money in the local area?

Well, I won't let you have money, but I can't help but say that I won't let you make money, just that I will control your tax income.

Bring the tax money from your places to the imperial court, and you don't have any extra money here, I see how messy you are.

Zhao Kuangyin kept thinking about the gains and losses here, to see if this strategy was feasible.

"If we transport all the wealth of the local government to the imperial court, this is a good thing, but in this way, the local government will not have the wealth needed for development, and in the end, won't we have to reach out to our central imperial court?"

Zhao Kuangyin almost agreed with this strategy, but he had one more concern, that is, you said that transporting this wealth to the central government is very good.

But there is a new problem, if we do this, the local area will not have the wealth that will be learned for subsequent development, and will it not become poorer and poorer?

In the end, this is not a matter of the imperial court, which is even more unfavorable to the imperial court, the imperial court is rich, but the place is getting worse and worse.

Isn't this a bit worth the loss, after all, no one wants to see the whole country be so poor!
