Chapter 749: Shang Dynasty
"Father must not be careless," Lin Zhongchao frowned slightly, "The army is the important weapon of the country, and it cannot be treated at will." ”
"Zhong Chao stepped aside." The emperor frowned, and the officials present were so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak.
Knowing that it would be useless to say more, although there were still differences with the emperor, Lin Zhongchao didn't say any more.
In this way, the early dynasty ended in a suppression.
No one convinced anyone.
"Your Majesty, if it is peaceful today, the wind and rain are smooth, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, is this tax going to be adjusted?" An official said.
"Well, this tax has been used for a long time, and now that the people are rich, they can appropriately increase some taxes to replenish the treasury." After thinking for a moment, the emperor said slowly.
"The child thinks it's inappropriate," Lin Zhongchao stood up again.
"Taxation is very important, and it cannot be adjusted casually, and if taxes are rashly raised, I am afraid that it will cause public resentment."
"The treasury needs to be replenished, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and they should also contribute more to the treasury." The emperor disagreed and insisted on his opinion.
"Taxation is a matter of great importance, and it should not be decided rashly." Lin Zhongchao continued to express his political opinions, and he did not mean to back down at all.
"Without taxes, how can the soldiers of our frontier defend with peace of mind." The emperor asked rhetorically.
"Father, today's taxes are enough for the needs of the frontier soldiers," Lin Zhongchao did not relent, "There is a lot of waste in the palace, and it is more than enough to save it." ”
But no matter what Lin Zhongchao said, Lin Ran still insisted on himself.
Lin Zhongchao suddenly felt that it was still not possible to be below this person and above 10,000 people.
If you can't become an emperor, you still can't work for the welfare of the common people in the world.
So I suddenly regretted it, why did I hastily promise Zhou Yuheng, saying that it would be too early for the throne to be left to Zhou Yuheng in the future?
didn't see the people of the world living and working in peace and contentment, so he handed it over to Zhou Yuheng, if Zhou Yuheng was not competent, wouldn't it be his own fault?
What's more, even if Zhou Yu is competent enough, he can't completely manage the world according to Lin Zhongchao's intentions. Between the two, if there is a disagreement, Zhou Yuheng will definitely ignore Lin Zhongchao's opinion.
Even father and son can't convince each other, let alone an outsider.
The early dynasty dispersed, but Lin Zhongchao was preoccupied.
The sky was getting dark, and the hills in the distance were blurring.
After finishing the task at hand, Lin Zhongchao raised his head and found that the twilight was heavy.
I haven't eaten with Zhou Zhengzheng and Lin Ce for a few days, and tonight, Lin Zhongchao didn't eat out and rushed back to the Prince's East Palace.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess is waiting for you." The servants greeted each other, holding the copper basin, and serving Lin Zhongchao with his hand.
Lin Zhongchao was overjoyed and strode in.
"Brother Chao, you're finally back." Zhou Zhengzheng stood up with a bright smile to greet him, and Lin Ce raised his arms happily when he saw Lin Zhongchao coming.
"Okay, hug, hug." Lin Zhongchao took Lin Ce in his arms and pecked his beloved wife lightly on the face.
I haven't played in Lin Zhongchao's arms for a long time, Lin Ce grabbed Lin Zhongchao's clothes and touched them for a while, touching the beads for a while, and touching the birds embroidered on the clothes for a while.
Soon, Lin Zhongchao's favorite dishes were spread all over the table.
"Super brother, eat it while it's hot." Zhou Zhengzheng intimately personally served Lin Zhongchao a bowl of soup.
"Well, this soup tastes good." Lin Zhongchao was really hungry, and he ate very deliciously, and after a while, he ate most of the table with Zhou Zhengzheng.
Seeing that Lin Zhongchao had a good appetite, Zhou Zhengzheng asked his subordinates to cook a sweet soup again.
It is rare for Lin Zhongchao to eat so much, Zhou Zhengzheng sat on the side, and it was comfortable to watch.
"What did Ce'er eat tonight?" Lin Zhongchao asked,
Since he was one year old, Lin Ce has eaten more and more things, and the types of things are also varied.
"Ze'er ate this fish, and half an apple." Zhou Zhengzheng pointed to a plate in front of him and said.
"Well, Lin Ce looks like he's gained a little weight recently, but why hasn't he grown up?" Lin Zhongchao said to Zhou Zhengzheng while eating.
"Brother Chao's heart is too anxious, Ce'er has grown half a fingernail taller than last month, and it is normal to grow a little slower this month,"
"Oh, that's good." Lin Zhongchao suddenly smiled easily, "Ah Zheng, Ce'er still wants you to bother more." ”
"Brother Chao is busy with official business, so don't worry about Ce'er's affairs."
"Today, the emperor is going to increase taxes, I really don't know what he thinks," Lin Zhongchao suddenly frowned and shook his head.
"Has it already been decided?" Zhou Zhengzheng asked with concern.
"Not yet, if I hadn't intervened to stop it, I'm afraid I would have already made a holy decree." Lin Zhongchao sighed.
"Brother Chao opposes his father in front of everyone, I am afraid that he will anger the emperor's father. It doesn't help much. Zhou Zhengzheng patiently persuaded him, "In fact, you can communicate with several ministers of the household department and the ministry first, so that the emperor will not put his dissatisfaction on you alone." ”
"Zheng Zheng is right," Lin Zhongchao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Actually, many people oppose it, and it is more imposing than me alone." ”
"Well, yes." Lin Zhongchao figured it out, and Zhou Zhengzheng said slowly, "This increase in taxes is not so easy to pass, so Brother Chao shouldn't worry about this." ”
"This is a trivial matter, do you know that the emperor still wants to disarm, saying that there is no war on the frontier, and it is too expensive to raise so many soldiers."
"The emperor is really short-sighted when he says this," Zhou Zhengzheng comforted Lin Zhongchao, "Only when the army is strong can the country be stable, this truth, the emperor should not be unaware." Zhou Zhengzheng's voice was a little hurried, but Lin Zhongchao listened very comfortably, the emperor had a discrepancy with his own political views, but his wife at home still had the same opinion as himself.
"If the courtiers have the same insight as your wife, then my Daming Dynasty will not be stable," Lin Zhongchao said to Zhou Zhengzheng with a smile, "If your wife is a man, I will definitely recommend you to be an official." ”
"Brother Chao laughed, I'm just a woman, how dare I think about it."
"Another day, I will ask the emperor to play, and individual talented women should be allowed to be ranked among the hundred officials." Lin Zhongchao said seriously, and it seemed to be serious.
"Thank you Brother Chao for your encouragement, if Brother Chao is allowed to take power, the world will definitely be different."
"Shhh, you can't talk nonsense." Lin Zhongchao gestured and asked Zhou Zhengzheng not to speak. But his face is full of confidence.
Zhou Zhengzheng was quiet at the moment, and looked at Lin Zhongchao with a smile on his face. And Lin Zhongchao also looked at Zhou Zhengzheng with a smile.
The four eyes met each other, warming their respective youthful years.
