Five days later.

The results of the investigation reported by Wang Zhangshi and her are actually almost the same as those that Song Yunshu was thinking in his heart.

The taxes of Chu are heavy, and the people are miserable, and on the contrary, look at other countries where these things have not happened in their country.

Therefore, it must be that their country is relatively backward from other countries in terms of taxation or economic development.

For so many years, the state of Chu has been in a state of seclusion, and has rarely had any economic exchanges with other countries.

Perhaps it is because of their long-standing self-isolation that their country has lagged far behind the economies of other countries.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time has been really hard for everyone. However, I have seen the efforts made by everyone during this time, and the emperor must also see it. ”

"After I go back, I will definitely report all your contributions to the emperor truthfully, and strive to give you some rewards, but I hope you will not take it lightly, continue to work hard, and contribute to the development of our country."

Song Yunshu could see the tiredness on the faces of these managers, if it weren't for this matter, she would not have been in such a hurry if she had to find a solution earlier.

After all, the lives of the people are really miserable now, and if they don't find a solution soon, I'm afraid that those people will definitely have chaos again.

Since ancient times, there have been many cases of turmoil and turmoil among the people, most of which are due to the incompetence of the country's rulers, or the country's serious taxes.

Their country is now in the latter position, the economic development is backward, and the people in the tax industry are in a state of not having enough to eat all day long, so in this situation, everyone will rebel.

"Thank you Lord Shangshu for your promotion, we will definitely work harder to contribute to the country, eliminate troubles for the emperor, and follow the teachings of Lord Shangshu. We will definitely not forget the promotion that Lord Shangshu gave us. ”

The following leaders all expressed their gratitude to Song Yunshu.

"Okay, then this matter will be here for the time being, everyone is also very tired, so let's go home and rest for the time being, if there is any more notice, I will tell you as soon as possible."

"By the way, what happened today, those few people who didn't come don't have to tell them, and I will definitely not use them anymore for those who are provoked at will. From then on, those people had nothing to do with us. ”

Song Yunshu was still very angry in his heart for those in charge who had not yet come.

Everyone is doing their best, and they are opting out at this time. In this case, there is no need to remember the love of doing things together in the past.

"Yes." After everyone had finished speaking, they were ready to leave.

"By the way, the king is in charge of staying, I have something I want to say to you, so the others will leave for the time being."

Song Yunshu said as he was about to leave Wang Zhangshi.

"Lord Shangshu, is there something going on? Leave me alone. ”

In fact, compared to others, Wang Zhangshi is more tired from work. So he was more eager than the others to go back to rest early, but Lord Shangshu called him back alone.

"Wang Zhangshi, I also know that you have done a lot of things recently, and you are very tired, but I have to talk to you alone about this matter, and I am not so relieved about other people."

Song Yunshu could also see that the tiredness in Wang Zhangshi's eyes was heavier than anyone else's, and the bloodshot feeling at the corners of his eyes was all over his eyes.

"Lord Shangshu wants to ask anything, but it doesn't hurt to ask, as long as I know, I am willing to tell you everything."

After Wang Zhangshi heard Song Yunshu say this, he tried his best to cheer himself up.

"Our Chu country's current economic development is still very backward compared to other countries, I left you alone today, just to ask you if you have any other good solutions, let's discuss it first."

Song Yunshu can't take care of rest at all now, he just wants to know the solution as soon as possible, so that the economy of Chu can develop rapidly, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

For her, everything else can be left behind now.

"At present, the economy of Chu is lagging behind compared to other countries, and I think there may be the following reasons. The first point is that our country's taxes are relatively heavy. ”

"The second point is that the cost of the palace is too great. Third, many local officials are corrupt and take bribes. I think these three are the main reasons I can come up with at the moment. ”

After thinking for a while, Wang Zhangshi said all his inner thoughts.

"Well, what you said still makes a lot of sense. I think every country has cases of corruption and bribery. And other countries are not necessarily better than ours. ”

"In terms of taxation, we can also adjust and adjust relatively. When the time comes, I will play the emperor, and the emperor will definitely give us a wise decision. ”

Song Yunshu felt that Wang was still very comprehensive when he was in charge of affairs. The three reasons he just listed are indeed the main reasons for the country's current economic development.

It can be seen that this person must have carefully investigated in this regard.

It's amazing to have such a lot of processing power at such a young age, unlike those who only know how to fool around here. What the country needs is a talent like him.

In fact, Song Yunshu once investigated in the household department. As the youngest of them, Wang Zhangshi is often coldly regarded by those senior directors.

Many times they don't take the king's affairs with them at all, thinking that he is too young to handle these things well, so many times those people don't care about the king's opinions at all.

But once something goes wrong, then he needs to stand in front of those people to block things, and it can be seen that there are still many things that the household department has not handled well.

After the things they are doing now are done, they will have to put things in order and rectify the atmosphere of the households.

"I don't think we have enough to solve this problem by reducing the cost of the palace. After all, there are too many people in the palace. ”

"Those concubines in the East and West Sixth Palaces, the things they have to use on weekdays are like flowing water, and this is the usual monthly routine of the palace maids and eunuchs that we can't control."

"If it is reduced further, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the palace personnel. I don't think that's realistic at all. ”

The king also expressed his opinion on the matter of reducing the expenses of the palace.

"Well, you have a point. That's true. The various expenses in the palace are very large, and some expenses cannot be reduced at all. It seems that we can only start from the other two aspects. ”

Song Yunshu nodded affirmatively, expressing his affirmation of the reasons for Wang Zhangshi.

It seems that her original vision was not wrong, and she did choose a very good talent.
