Chapter 35: The Queen

Speaking of the repercussions, Liang Shiwei said excitedly: "The repercussions of the household registration book in the capital have been well received, and the people have thanked His Majesty for the proper consideration of the people's feelings, but..."

Xie Chengli was puzzled and asked, "But what?" ”

Liang Shiwei sighed and said: "But the people are happy to pay taxes and fees according to the population on the household register, but this merchant and the official eunuch have a lot of complaints.

Now this tax decree has not been issued, and it is already halfway through this year, if it continues to develop like this.

I'm afraid that we won't be able to get this year's tax revenue by then. ”

Liang Shiwei's worries, Xie Chengli, did not know that according to the capitation tax on the household registration, although it has eased the pressure on many people.

But these merchants eat people and don't spit out bones, and now the imperial court wants to collect taxes, and the maids and servants in their families also have to pay taxes, so they must be unwilling.

Besides, Sun Tong has always united his ministers to resist this matter, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of controversy about taxes and fees.

As always, the early dynasty is different today, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seem to have arrived, and some officials are standing outside the hall.

Yan Feifei felt like a mirror in his heart, looking at the officials on the left and right, most of them were handed over yesterday after the excerpt proposed to be sealed, thinking that everyone today wants to force themselves to comply.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Yan Feifei waved his hand and said in a clear voice: "Everyone, Aiqing, let's be flat." ”

Baiguan got up and said, "Emperor Xie." ”

"A few days ago, I accidentally sprained my foot, so I didn't go to court early for a few days, and I didn't discuss the matter of the household registration book with you.

I think you Aiqing already have a household registration book in your hands, I want to pay taxes and fees according to the number of people in the account, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks? ”

Speaking of the tax payment in the household register, everyone whispered.

However, after a while, someone came out and looked at Sun Tong, and then played: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that it is inappropriate at this time, and paying taxes is a rule set by the ancestors.

It has lasted for hundreds of years, and if the entry is changed rashly, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary panic, and I hope the emperor will think twice. ”

Yan Feifei remembered an account he had calculated yesterday, the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty was so vast that according to the population of 100 million, the annual personal tax would be as high as 20 million taels of silver.

There was still a lot left to maintain the salaries of the soldiers and the salaries of the imperial court, and this was only the taxes paid by individuals, not to mention the taxes paid by the land, and the merchant taxes paid by the merchants.

Yan Feifei couldn't help but sneer after listening to the words: "Do you Aiqing also agree with the continuation of the ancestors' tax payment rules?" ”

Baiguan couldn't help but be stunned, and they all looked at Sun Tong and Xie Chengli with puzzled expressions.

What's wrong with the emperor? Why has he become so eloquent today, and does it mean that he has given up resistance?

The courtiers knelt down one after another and said, "Wechen seconded the proposal." ”

Weichen seconded.

Weichen also seconded the proposal.

There were only Xie Chengli, Liang Shiwei and Zhou Jianming standing in the court.

Yan Feifei sneered: "Everyone, please Aiqing, since you all want to continue to pay taxes and fees according to the rules of the ancestors, I don't have any opinions.

However, this household registration book has been issued, and I will send people to urge local officials to register their personnel, and since it is necessary to follow the ancestral system, then the direction of the money in this household department over the years must also be checked.

At least let you know the whereabouts of every amount of money, and it will be almost the day of taxation when you find out. ”

As he spoke, Yan Feifei couldn't help but sigh: "A few days ago, I accidentally sprained my foot, and I was taken care of by my cousin Ruo'er, so I wanted to wait for you Aiqing to agree to the tax policy issuance."

After I followed the momentum of the people, my will has been prepared, and it seems that I can only postpone the implementation, alas..."

In order to achieve the effect, Yan Feifei deliberately gritted his teeth and tightened his face, looking extremely sad and sad.

Originally, when the emperor wanted to thoroughly investigate the direction of the household money, many ministers looked at Sun Tong with a weak heart.

After all, Chen Jin had gotten a lot of benefits from it when he was in the household department before, and Chen Jin had already returned to his hometown, if he found out anything.

It is these shrimp soldiers and crab generals who suffer.

Now that things are on hold, everyone can't help but hesitate.

Only Xie Chengli and Sun Tong saw through the emperor's intentions more shrewdly.

Xie Chengli thought that today's emperor was too easy to speak, but he didn't expect that there would be such a trick waiting for Sun Tong, so it depends on Sun Tong's choice.

Sun Tongqi's face was distorted, and his eyes stared at the emperor like a poisonous snake ready to attack.

From the beginning of the emperor's speech, he seized the opportunity, and now he is forcing himself to make a choice, if he does not agree to pay taxes according to the individual, he must thoroughly investigate the household department, and he will definitely find out to himself when the time comes.

Although Sun Tong gritted his teeth with hatred, he could barely pull out a smile and said: "The emperor has already reached the age of marriage, and now someone has to run the middle palace to relieve the emperor's worries."

The minister implored the emperor to decree the book. ”

As soon as Sun Tong knelt on the ground, everyone in the court followed, Yan Feifei looked at the officials in Putian and was secretly happy, feeling that he was a genius.

can come up with such a way to defeat the enemy and win, it is said that Sun Tong hates himself too much.

This will choose to be crowned queen, which shows how impatient he is to find someone to replace him.

Zhang Jiang took out the originally drawn up will and read it out: "The Sun family has a woman, has both ability and political integrity, is virtuous and courteous, and has a wise and wise heart.

Can be a model for women in the world, and now canonized as the queen, grateful for the queen's benevolence, I am fortunate to marry, and I have set up a tax payment policy according to the head of the account.

The queen was crowned to celebrate with the whole country, and personal taxes and fees were exempted in March to show the emperor's grace. Chin this. ”

Every time Sun Tong heard the latter sentence, his whole person was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Xie Chengli looked at Yan Fei on the dragon chair, he didn't expect her to be so black-bellied, Sun Tong was afraid that he would beat his chest angrily this time.

The matter has ended satisfactorily, Yan Feifei's whole person feels a lot more relaxed, and the thorn that has been haunting his heart has finally loosened a little.

But when I thought that there would be one more queen in the harem, and with the addition of a queen mother, I was more like a sandwich biscuit.

As soon as I returned to the imperial study, I saw Xie Chengli and Zhou Jianmin coming.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

When Yan Feifei saw Xie Chengli, he remembered the matter of wrapping his chest, rolled his eyes angrily and asked coldly: "Master Taifu, do you want to congratulate me on the queen of Li, or do you want to congratulate me on my early ascension to Bliss?" ”

Knowing that it was a double-edged sword, he didn't have the slightest benefit no matter what, but he actually congratulated himself.

Zhou Jianmin couldn't help but be stunned, but saw his friend Xie Chengli respond freely: "Naturally, congratulations to Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this in the future." ”
