Chapter 244: A Rank Decree 51
And this count, Emperor Zhou Yuan's expression became more and more pleasantly surprised.
The Great Zhou Dynasty went through three dynasties, and now the country is peaceful and peaceful, and the development of commerce has also begun to see the scale, and Emperor Zhou Yuan has long been unaccustomed to seeing the merchants getting rich.
This commercial tax was like a good medicine, which could fill the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty and provide business opportunities for those merchants.
Emperor Yuan of Zhou seemed to be feasible, and when the treasury was full, he would naturally be able to rectify the border and enrich the people's taxes. Are you afraid that you won't be able to leave a name in history if you win the hearts of the people like this?
The more Emperor Zhou Yuan looked at it, the more satisfied he felt, especially when he saw the idea of coastal tariffs, he couldn't help but slap the table.
"Wonderful!"
Emperor Zhou Yuan's sudden voice startled Liu Yuan, and when he realized that Liu Yuan was still sitting in the study, Emperor Zhou Yuan coughed embarrassedly. He took a sip of tea from his teacup.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has been stable for a long time, and the coastal commerce is mostly stuck in fishery, and there are also overseas envoys who come to meet in the early years, but Emperor Zhou Yuan has never thought of how to settle.
If commercial taxes and customs duties are imposed, this is to earn their money to strengthen themselves, and when the treasury is full, he is afraid that he will not be able to level the whole world?
It's just that if the customs are opened, the problem of corruption in the coastal government will have to be taken seriously.
Emperor Zhou Yuandi's frowning brows suddenly stretched, and he hurriedly turned out Tan Che's test paper, looking at Tan Che's opinion on the integrity of officials, he couldn't help laughing.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Emperor Zhou Yuan smiled and said it twice in a row.
This surprised Suning, who had been following Emperor Zhou Yuan as the chief manager.
Emperor Zhou Yuan couldn't help but get excited, and hurriedly looked at the content behind, but the view of customs tariffs came to an abrupt end, and instead talked about the reduction of Hu merchants.
What is the reason for the decrease of Hu merchants Emperor Zhou Yuan knows very well that the Hu people on the border have not stopped in recent years, but the Great Zhou Dynasty has a strong national strength, and those Hu people have never provoked a big war.
But because of these provocations, there are fewer Hu businessmen.
Emperor Zhou Yuandi then looked down, and couldn't help but admire when he saw the views on some border issues drawn by Hu Shang, such a meticulous observation, such a political sense, and such a talent are really talented.
Liang Cai, Liang Cai, is really a good talent!
Emperor Zhou Yuan wanted to continue to look at this view of the border, but found that the strategy ended here. Emperor Zhou Yuan rummaged for a while before he couldn't finish it.
For officials like Liu Yuan, only Liang Cai's talent can be seen from this policy, but Emperor Zhou Yuan, as the emperor, can glimpse his omnipotence from those omitted words.
Emperor Zhou Yuan put down the test paper with a relaxed expression.
"This Liang Cai deliberately only wrote part of the strategy, this is to let me test him personally." Emperor Zhou Yuan said this with a smile on his face.
For such a rare talent, Emperor Zhou Yuan didn't care about him playing these little tricks.
On the contrary, as a powerless son of a poor family, if he is only talented and not a little smart, he will not be able to do things for him in this court.
Emperor Zhou Yuan looked at the two strategies in front of him, his brows stretched, no wonder Yichen's kid did not hesitate to use such a scheming to keep the two by his side, he was indeed a rare talent.
It's just that he's a prince, and what do you think about keeping such a person by his side?
Emperor Zhou Yuan made a note to Zhao Yichen in his heart. Then he sighed, picked up the red pen, and ticked Liang Cai's name.
Emperor Zhou Yuan looked at it and seemed to think that this was not outstanding enough, so he put down the pen with satisfaction after ticking the red pen.
The scholars crowded out the poor family, and the two of them were also victimized by rumors, and they didn't even go to the flower banquet to study at home, which can be seen.
Emperor Yuan of Zhou had been completely persuaded by the strategy. Give Liang Cai a chance, he wants to see what kind of surprise the two can give him.
"That's it for Lord Liu's list." Emperor Zhou Yuan opened his mouth, and Liu Yuan was completely relieved.
"Lady Liu walks slowly."
"There's Mr. Laosu." After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he took the list and left the palace.
Until he got into the carriage out of the palace, Liu Yuan was still in a trance, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Emperor Zhou Yuan's appearance of Long Yan Dayue.
He bet right, these two people are indeed obedient to Emperor Zhou Yuan's heart, this is the next celebrity like Wu Shilang.
The person who can make Emperor Zhou Yuan ignore the rumors and dispel his suspicions is afraid that he will be the upstart of this officialdom in the future.
Early the next morning, Liu Yuan took the list and went to the Ministry of Rites.
The examiner who judged the paper was also waiting in the Ministry of Rites early in the morning, and when he saw Liu Yuan coming with a happy face, everyone's hearts relaxed.
"Lord Liu, how's it going?"
"Your Majesty's Zhu pen review, you can rest assured to prepare tomorrow's apricot list." Liu Yuan smiled and handed the list in his arms to the officials beside him.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the two hooks next to Liang Cai's name. It seems that they did the right thing by not pressing the roll.
"It's still Lord Liu's opinion, and the officials are going to prepare for tomorrow's list."
Liu Yuan nodded with an expression that he knew this for a long time, and he was relieved to have the examiner who would definitely take the test from Emperor Zhou Yuan.
In the suburbs, Qi Yuanzheng and 888 were planting rice in the field, and the land they bought from the yard became a pastime for the two families.
"Qingyuan, you're learning pretty fast, I'm still squirming." Tan Che had mud on his face, holding the seedlings in his hands, and said discouragedly.
"Let Wangcai redo it for you." Qi Yuan walked to the ridge after planting the seedlings and said with a smile.
"You're all scholars, of course you don't do these things. It's a big day, so let's go back to dinner. Mother Tan said with a smile and walked up the ridge.
Tan Che only sighed, and soon walked up the ridge and followed home.
Although this kind of work is hard, it can indeed make people relax, and Tan Che's nervousness because he was worried about trying it out was relieved a lot.
"Uncle is back, let's get ready for dinner." Xiaolan fetched water and hurriedly brought it over.
Tang has been in good spirits for more than half a month, but because he has been thinking about what Wang Hanlan said at that time, he is always worried.
Especially when I think that the list will be released tomorrow, my heart is even more nervous.
After eating, Tang took the needle and thread, and couldn't help it when he saw that Qi Yuan was going to farm again.
Wang Hanwei held Tang's hand, "Mother, you are relieved, Xianggong knows it." ”
"Han Wei, it's just that I really ...... when I think of those words," Tang looked at Wang Hanwei and sighed.
Wang Hanwei touched her stomach and smiled, "The list will be released tomorrow, and it's useless for my mother to be anxious." ”
Wang Hanwei said and handed the fabric to Tang, "How about Mother see this fabric made into shoes?" ”
"It's pretty much the same for clothes." Tang Shi was diverted by Wang Hanwei as he spoke.
Wang Hanwei sat in the pavilion and looked at the steps and retracted her gaze, she had to believe that Qingyuan must not be dragged down, only in this way could Qingyuan go higher, and she would not have to fall into the same situation as that day.
In order to protect his family, he does not have to wag his tail and beg for mercy at the enemy.
In the past, Wang Hanwei just wanted to cooperate with Qi Yuan to fulfill Liang Cai's last wish, but after having a child, she had more selfishness.
She is no longer desireless, she also wants to protect her children.
Wang Hanwei looked at the small clothes in Tang's hand and laughed at herself, maybe this is the difference between mortals and immortals.
