Chapter 26: Ding! Faith points exceed 2 million
"Your Majesty, the Jiangnan region has been repeatedly warned, and now it has been poisoned by the rebels of the four towns, which is already dilapidated and the people's livelihood is withering,"
At this moment, the head of the household department suddenly came to the table, and then said: "I implore Your Majesty to reduce the burden of the people in the four towns south of the Yangtze River, so as to attract the displaced people and resume production." β
Hearing this, Zhao Lin nodded, "Quasi-play." β
What Tobe Shangshu said is exactly to the point.
The area around Jinling City, which was previously in the hands of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, was ravaged by the four people, the economy almost collapsed, and the people fell into dire straits.
Many people have been displaced, lost their land, and become homeless.
If the problem of displaced people is not resolved early, it can easily lead to riots.
Therefore, this benevolent policy must be implemented as soon as possible.
"Spread my will, the entire four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the people will be exempted from taxes for half a year, and all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be abolished!"
Zhao Lin's voice spread loudly in the court.
"Your Majesty. β
The officials knelt on the ground one after another.
Even Tobe Shangshu himself was taken aback.
His original intention was just to let Zhao Lin reduce taxes and stimulate production, but he didn't expect that Zhao Lin would be directly exempt from taxes for half a year.
It takes a lot of courage.
After all, the loss of taxes in that large area undoubtedly had a great impact on the finances of the imperial court.
Especially for Zhao Lin's militaristic plans.
Zhao Lin cultivated tiger guards, the cost was huge, and the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty was empty, in this case, Zhao Lin could also reduce the taxes of the people, it can be seen that Zhao Lin is actually a benevolent monarch in his bones!
Sage Cloud: The way to govern the country, the inner saint and the outer king.
These two points seem to have been reflected in Zhao Lin's body!
Hubu Shangshu's heart was very excited, there was such an emperor with Wen Taowu strategy, how could they not become strong in the Song Dynasty?
......
At the same time, the news of Zhao Lin's order to reduce taxes soon spread to the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
As soon as the news spread, the local people immediately rejoiced!
They rushed to tell each other and praised Zhao Lin, the emperor's benevolence.
For ordinary people, no matter how wise and powerful the emperor is, no matter how eloquent and strategic, they can't feel it directly.
Their primary concern is taxation.
It's all about them.
During the reign of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, not only were taxes heavy, but there were also various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which frantically oppressed the people at the bottom.
The people hated the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, so after the arrival of the royal division of the Great Song Dynasty, many people spontaneously organized a righteous army to help the royal division attack the rebels.
It can be seen that the people hate the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes!
Now, it is the Great Song Dynasty that has taken over this area, and many people are worried about whether they will usher in a hungry tiger after driving away the jackals?
But Zhao Lin's holy decree immediately dispelled all their doubts!
Taxes are directly exempt!
Abolish all excesses and miscellaneous taxes!
And it lasts for half a year!
That means that the people's hard work is their own!
This news, for the people, is simply a spring thunder after a long winter!
The people's favorability towards His Majesty Zhao Lin quickly exploded!
At this time, Zhao Lin didn't know that the people were running to tell each other and praise themselves.
He was still in the imperial study, thinking about the specific strategies for dealing with the three major martial arts sects.
Who is more suitable for this candidate to enter the rivers and lakes and unify the Jiangnan martial arts?
Dian Wei needs to command the army and train the Tiger Ben Guards, and he will definitely not be able to escape.
Cao Zhengchun is in charge of the East Factory and supervises hundreds of officials, and he can't move now.
As for himself, he is even more in charge of every day, not to mention, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and he naturally can't do it himself.
This incident undoubtedly made Zhao Lin feel quite distressed.
"Your Majesty, don't be too tired, take a sip of tea and rest first. β
At this time, suddenly a very pleasant voice came, Zhao Lin followed the prestige, and in his sight, there was a delicate black shadow walking over, with a straight buttocks and a swaying posture, which was very charming.
It is Xiaoxiao who has not recovered from a serious illness.
At the moment when he saw Xiaoxiao, Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
It seems that the right person has been found.
However, Zhao Lin quickly denied this idea.
Although Xiaoxiao is a person in the rivers and lakes, she is still too tender.
The person he wants is not only a person in the martial arts, but also a man of great talent, who can dominate the Jiangnan martial arts, and even help him unify the southern martial arts in the future, and even the entire world martial arts.
Xiaoxiao, obviously can't reach this level yet.
The distance is a bit far apart.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
As if sensing the slight change in Zhao Lin's expression, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
"It's fine. β
Zhao Lin waved his hand, picked up the ginseng tea in Xiaoxiao's hand, took a sip, and then asked, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, why did you come out to move?"
"The concubine's injuries have healed a lot. β
Xiaoxiao's pretty face showed a shallow smile, which was extremely moving, "Locked in the room all day, I am so bored and panicked by myself, I miss Your Majesty a little." β
"I said I was going to see you, but I forgot about it. β
Zhao Lin looked at the girl in front of him, and his attitude towards the latter was much better than before.
"It's okay. β
Xiaoxiao shook her head gently, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs and works hard for the country, how can you delay all the time on your concubines." β
She was very good at observing words and feelings, and then asked, "Your Majesty seems to have a sad face, but what is there to worry about?"
"There was a real problem. β
Zhao Lin nodded, and then said, "How much do you know about the three major martial arts sects of Qinghu Island, Tibetan Sword Villa, and Giant Whale Gang?"
"These three major sects are all wealthy families in the Jiangnan martial arts, and the concubines only know a little bit about it. β
Xiaoxiao's eyes became solemn, "Qinghu Island is the number one sect of Jiangnan martial arts, and it is rumored that there are three thousand beginner disciples, and its power and minions are all over the Jiangnan region. Today's Qinghu Island, after 300 years of historical development, under the leadership of the island owner Gu Yong and the deputy island owner Gu Hong, there is a trend of great prosperity. β
It is said that there are many famous swords in the villa, and its disciples have practiced swordsmanship, and many powerful swordsmen have been born. The owner of the village, Ye Dongliu, has excellent swordsmanship, is famous all over the world, and is also known as the 'Dongliu Sword Saint'. β
"The Giant Whale Gang, invincible across the sea, almost monopolizes the maritime smuggling trade in the Jiangnan region, and is rich enough to rival the country. The gang leader Cao Meng, the iron sand palm has been refined to a place where the fire is perfect, known as 'iron palm invincible'. β
"These three major sects, each of them is very powerful, not easy to provoke, the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty in the past dynasties, have adopted a policy of friendship with them, and dare not tear their faces with them. β
The implication is clear.
Even when the Great Song Dynasty was peaceful, he still didn't dare to offend these three major sects, and today's Great Song Dynasty is far inferior to its heyday, and Zhao Lin chose to move these three major sects at this time, which is a little unwise.
After all, these three major sects are different from the Nine Shadows Sect.
The Nine Shadows Sect is a foreign sect, and it has an unstable foothold in the Jiangnan martial arts, and in terms of foundation and heritage, the Nine Shadows Sect cannot be compared with these three major sects.
When Zhao Lin heard this, he couldn't help but fall into a deep groan.
Hearing Xiaoxiao say this, he wanted to pull out these three nails more and more.
Otherwise, they will be a factor of instability under his rule.
In his Zhao Lin's eyes, there is no room for sand!
γDing!γ
Suddenly.
It was at this time.
[The system prompts that the host's faith value exceeds 2 million.] γ
