It is true that Ping Qinian has increased a lot of taxes, but in addition to the taxes of various squires and tyrants, it is to increase the taxes of monopoly officials and smugglers.

On the contrary, the tax on the peasants has been reduced considerately.

Not only because Ping Qinian was born in a poor family, but he also knew that it would take many, many peasants to be able to pay the taxes of a wealthy businessman.

In that case, he might as well squeeze the oil and water of the rich.

At the same time, he also distributed part of the tax collected to military camps in various places as military salaries, which greatly stabilized the morale of the army.

In the last life, when Wan Zhixin killed Ping Qinian, the disadvantages of close contacts between civil officials and wealthy businessmen in various places were gradually exposed.

Many of the civil servants are from elite backgrounds, so they are more concerned about the interests of the middle and upper classes.

They advocated reducing taxes on the interest strata and increasing taxes on agriculture, which caused the pressure on the peasants and ordinary people to skyrocket.

In addition, the climate is not good, and the grain harvest is poor. People don't have enough food and clothing, and they can't even force themselves to have a good time, so they have to revolt.

Therefore, within two years, Wan Zhixin began to have a headache with the peasant rebels that rose up all over the country.

Yu Muhuai lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground thoughtfully.

Ping Qinian can't be killed for the time being.

At least not in such a hurry.

At present, the East Factory only obeys the orders of Ping Qinian, and Yu Muhuai has just arrived, and he can't control the huge East Factory for the time being.

If the mess after Ping Qinian's death can't be cleaned up properly, then it has to be kept first.

At the very least, until the new candidates for the civil service are decided, it must be retained.

At this moment, Yushi Song Xian suddenly went to the book.

"Your Majesty, please play if you have something to do."

"Exactly."

"Your Majesty, there are more than 3,000 post stations in the country, and the officers of the post stations will repeatedly use paperwork and report the excess paperwork costs.

In addition to this, there is the cost of raising horses, the cost of accommodation for officials staying in the post station, and so on ....

There is a lot of corruption in the post stations everywhere, and the corrupt behaviors are as many as cattle hair, down to the horse breeders, and there are countless of them, which must not be taken seriously.

In the view of Weichen, the corruption of post stations is deep-rooted and difficult to eliminate, and the best way at present is to ban post stations across the country.

In this way, not only can the corruption of the post station be completely avoided, but also can save a lot of money for the imperial court. ”

The post station is equivalent to a modern express point and a guest house.

It is a place for officials and errand officers who deliver military information, family letters, documents, etc., to rest, drink and eat, spend the night, and feed horses on the way.

Because of the post stations set up everywhere, the transmission of messages from Congguo will be convenient and fast.

Hearing Song Xian mention the post station, Yu Muhuai suddenly remembered the chain reaction caused by the post station in the previous life.

There are more than 3,000 post stations in the country, and the small post station has only one post guard, and the large post station may have three or four post guards.

The existence of the post station has fed tens of thousands of ordinary people in Congguo and provided them with a place to work and live.

In the previous life, Wan Zhixin was busy dealing with Ping Qinian at this time, and the affairs of the post station seemed insignificant to him, so he didn't pay much attention to it at all.

Especially when he heard that canceling the post station could save money, Wan Zhixin was even happier.

At that time, although the treasury of Cong had not been completely emptied, it was not as good as before.

So Wan Zhixin hesitated for a while, and finally agreed with Song Xian's opinion.

As a result, tens of thousands of postmen in Cong lost their jobs and became unemployed.

Most of these postmen are the breadwinners of the family.

The salaries of the postmen were slightly higher than those of ordinary people, and they were able to support a family by themselves.

Now unemployed, it is not only these tens of thousands of people who have no money, but also the families behind them.

At the time of the drought in the northwest inland area of Cong country, it should have been able to overcome the hurdle, but because of the layoffs, the disaster added fuel to the fire.

Unemployed post men from all over the country gathered one after another, and some even brought their families with them to form a peasant rebel army.

One of them was extremely famous, and later became Wan Zhixin's most troublesome rebel leader, a well-known big man.

This person's name is Fang Zhong.

Fang Zhong was just an ordinary post pawn at first, and later became the first person to overthrow the Kingdom of Cong and enter the imperial city.

However, in the end, when Fang Zhong divided the territorial rights, he clashed with the Jian State, and was finally killed by the other party.

It's not a good end.

But in the previous life, Fang Zhong brought a lot of trouble to Wan Zhixin, and it was simply a headache.

Yu Muhuai now has Ping Qinian and Qianxin Party inside, and there is a famine and the Jianguo Army outside, and there is nothing worse than her now.

Stable!

Seek stability first!

At this moment, Ping Qinian on the side took the lead in speaking.

"Weichen thinks that this matter is feasible."

Although Ping Qinian is a eunuch, his position is very high, he is 9,000 years old, and he calls himself a "micro-minister" in front of the emperor on weekdays.

Hearing that Ping Qinian agreed with his point of view, Song Xian immediately bowed and saluted.

"Admiral Ping's words are very true."

Yu Muhuai snorted in her heart, before she could speak, the Song Xian below was impatient to salute, did she think that Ping Qinian's words were really a holy decree?

Hmph, she simply didn't take her into account of the incomparably noble and invincible emperor in the world!

Yu Muhuai sat upright on the dragon chair, his expression was as usual, and his calm but unobtrusive voice spread throughout the court.

"I don't think it's appropriate."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, and suddenly fell silent.

Even Ping Qinian, who has always been strategizing on the side, was stunned on the spot.

He frowned slightly, a little puzzled, and thought, "Hasn't the emperor been obedient to my proposals recently?"

Could it be that the emperor's previous performance was all to deceive me, wanting me to relax my vigilance, and then wipe out my forces? Now he's ready to make a move, so he's not ready to pretend? ”

Before Yu Muhuai came over, Wan Zhixin's method against Ping Qinian was to grind him to death with a soft knife.

When Wan Zhixin first ascended the throne, he couldn't sleep well every night, because he was worried that Ping Qinian would find an opportunity to attack him.

At that time, the emperor had just died, and Ping Qinian not only controlled the government, but also the harem, and often stuffed different women in.

So Wan Zhixin endured the humiliation and made a look of obedience to Ping Qinian, and obeyed his orders in everything, like a submissive little sheep.

It took two years for Ping Qinian to relax his vigilance against Wan Zhixin, and at the same time released a lot of power in his hands.

Since ancient times, people who can taste courage are not simple roles.

Wan Zhixin has been bending for three years, and he has not let Ping Qinian find anything wrong.

Finally, at the last moment, he exposed his wolf nature, set aside all the rights of Ping Qinian, and forced him to hang himself.
