Chapter 116: National Focus
The palace walls are strict, all the sounds are quiet, and the expressionless forbidden army guards outside the palace gates everywhere, hanging a saber at the waist and holding a long ge, which is the imagination of the Daqian Palace in Wu Cong's heart.
She even asked some women in the city who used to be maids of large families about the rules in the mansion compound, for fear that she would violate any taboos after entering the palace.
It's just that she never expected it. The so-called imperial palace is even more dilapidated than Jinling City.
There was a strange smell in the already green pool, and the tall palace walls were full of cracks.
Her first impression of the palace was cold, silent, and decaying.
When her palanquin came to the noon gate, she saw the collapsed city wall and half of the plaque with the word "noon" written on it.
The auxiliary army carried her palanquin and stepped on pieces of red masonry, and staggered past the ruins of the Wumen city wall, and after passing through the Fengtian Gate, the Fengtian Temple, which had become a complete ruin, came into her eyes.
At this moment, Wu Cong's heart suddenly became a little dazed.
She was thinking about whether it would be a blessing or a curse for her to enter the palace.
At the same time, Chu Hao was looking at the national interface.

After seeing that many data had risen, Chu Hao had a surging smile on his face.
The 12 million people from Dali were tortured in one year in Yuzhou Ding.
Now that they have only been released and given them hope for life, their recognition of Daqian has surpassed that of the original people.
And the land of Yangzhou is suppressed by Yuzhou Ding, and any enemy who has malicious intentions towards Daqian will be seriously weakened.
After the military soldiers led by Wu Qi brought the people in the remote areas of Yangzhou to Yingtianfu, the current 600,000 troops could be sent to the counties to station.
At that time, the lives of these 16 million people will not have to be worried.
Thinking of this, Chu Hao glanced at the current national fortune again.
Since the people's hearts reach 100, the national fortune will increase by 10,000 every day, counting the national fortune of 1,000 per day of the dragon and phoenix Chengxiangshi, it has reached more than 40,000 national fortunes in just a few days.
According to the calculation that the national fortune will increase by 11,000 every day, it will only take three and a half months to reach the 1 million national fortune required for promotion to the dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Zhuge Liang, the head of the household, is asking to see you outside the door."
Just when Chu Hao thought of this, the voice of the child emperor came from outside the door.
Since the danger of the beast tide was lifted, the twelve evils of Tianchi returned to the palace.
The Tong Emperor is still in charge of the guards of the Qianqing Palace.
After hearing the voice of the Tong Emperor at this moment, Chu Hao turned off the national interface and said, "Let him in." β
As his words fell, the wooden door of the Qianqing Palace was slowly pushed open.
Zhuge Liang, who was holding a feather fan, slowly walked in.
"Minister, Zhuge Liang, the head of the household, see the emperor."
After Chu Hao waved his hand to get him up, he led him to sit on the chair.
He sat on another chair and asked with a smile, "Begonia should tell you about it, I don't know what you think?" β
Zhuge Liang bowed his head and said: "The minister thinks that Chen Qingzhi defeated 150,000 enemy troops and captured more than 100,000 prisoners, which is enough to be knighted." β
"And the soldiers under his command should also be rewarded."
"In addition, you can also inspire others by making Chen Qingzhi knighted."
Chu Hao thought for a few breaths after hearing this, he was originally only going to reward gold and silver, after all, today's Daqian is not so much a country as a province.
In the previous life, the monarchs at the time of the founding of the country were only honored after the country was stable.
He originally wanted to wait until Daqian stabilized before rewarding him.
But Zhuge Liang also has a point, and Chen Qingzhi can be used to inspire others.
Thinking of this, Chu Hao nodded and said, "Okay, let's do what you say." β
Zhuge Liang nodded slowly, and said: "A few days ago, the minister saw a virtuous and virtuous woman in Jinling City, this woman's surname is Wu Mingcong, and there are four brothers, all of whom are on errands in the Imperial City. There is also a sister named Wu Shun, who is currently married. His father was the governor of Jingzhou. β
"The emperor has no heirs so far, and the ministers look at this woman who has many sons and daughters, and she is quite talented. In the future, he will help the virtuous. β
"You might as well meet us."
After Chu Hao heard this, he shouted at the door: "Tong Huang." β
The Tonghuang sister, who was guarding the door, immediately pushed the door in and stood in front of the table.
Chu Hao glanced at Zhuge Liang and said, "Send Wu Cong to Changchun Palace first, and let the Empress Dowager see it." β
After the Tonghuang sisters claimed to be, they slowly retreated.
Chu Hao looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile: "I won't tell you, I myself am not very familiar with many rules in the palace, since she is a folk woman, I will give it to the Empress Dowager to teach for a period of time." β
Zhuge Liang nodded, he was only responsible for sending Wu Cong into the palace, and no matter what happened to Wu Cong in the future, it had nothing to do with him.
After Chu Hao finished saying this, he said, "How is the glass firing?" β
Zhuge Liang shook his head after hearing this: "Although it can already be condensed into a large piece, the light transmittance is very low, and the surface is uneven, even if the craftsman polishes it smooth, the inside is the same. β
Chu Hao nodded and said, "Maybe it's because of the sand, it's better to grind the sand and try it later." β
Zhuge Liang gently bowed his head and remembered it in his heart.
Then he said: "There is one more thing in the minister, at dusk today, the inspector Yu Shi Tianwen played, in Jiangning County, the county commander Yang Yu was cowardly and incompetent, without talent and virtue, but let the county be empty." β
"And the county Cheng Li Xu actually added seven more things to the country's original taxes, namely wine, vinegar, clothing, marriage, marriage, illness, funeral, and the child tax on the birth of a child, and these money finally fell into his pocket, and he embezzled 170,000 taels of silver in just one year!"
"One of the most shocking is the so-called 'child tax', Li Xu ordered that all the people in the county, from the octogenarian to the newborn child, as long as there is no child born within three months, will be charged 30 wen 'child tax'."
"For this reason, Jiangning County has built four other prisons to detain people who have no money to pay taxes."
"Of them were 3,212 prisoners."
"Because of this 'child tax', there are several octogenarians in Jiangning County who are unbearable and commit suicide."
Chu Hao's eyes widened subconsciously after hearing this.
Zhuge Liang continued to report: "Tian Wen is playing because of this, whether it will be investigated in accordance with the laws of the past." β
Chu Hao took a deep breath and asked in a cold voice, "Did Da Qian have any sentences in the past?" β
Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time and replied: "The punishment of Ling Chi was there when the country was founded, and later the people who died because of Ling Chi were very angry, and they often turned into ghosts after death. The sentence was abolished. β
Chu Hao sneered and said, "Arrange this punishment for him, isn't cinnabar to drive away evil spirits?" When the thief died, he poured cinnabar into his stomach. β
"I'd like to see if he can turn into a ghost!"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
Chu Hao continued: "This incident reminds me that now that the Five Turbidity Tribulations are getting closer and closer, the world will be chaotic, and some things need to be changed. β
After speaking, he pondered for a while, and then spoke: "The ban on the sea will be lifted from now on, and the people will be encouraged to return to their old business, whether it is to open a shop or do business, and all taxes will be exempted within three years!" β
"In addition, there are all kinds of private workshops that should be restored as soon as possible."
"If the people have no money to do business, open a shop, or restore a workshop, the court can lend them a loan without interest for three years, and after three years, every year that passes, it must charge one-ten-thousandth of the interest, and the loan period shall not exceed ten years."
"If you don't return the money after 10 years, you will have all your property confiscated."
Zhuge Liang's brows furrowed when he heard this, but he thought that Chu Hao's inner pocket now estimated that there were still billions of taels of silver.
With this money, even if there are no taxes for the next ten years, the country can operate normally.
As for the loan, he will have to think about the other details when he goes back tonight.
While he was thinking about this, Chu Hao continued: "In addition, you find some talents from the people to be officials, and order them to cultivate two sets of laws, one for civilian use and the other for official use. β
Zhuge Liang nodded lightly, kept this matter in his heart, and then got up to leave.
After he left, Chu Hao suddenly felt a sense in his heart, and after calling out the national interface, he found that there were 30,000 more national fortunes.
He thought about it for a moment and reacted.
What I said tonight, whether it is the abolition of all taxes within three years, the lending of money to the private sector, or the lifting of the maritime ban, is a national policy.
When he thought of this, he suddenly thought of the Manchu Dynasty's breeding man Ding Yong Bu Fu, and the national policy of spreading Ding into the ground.
Kangxi once announced that the silver tax would be fixed and no longer increased, and ordered the governors of all provinces to take the number of names in the current money and grain book as a fixed amount forever, and no longer increase or decrease. No money and food will be levied on the new people in the future (i.e., the prosperous breeders);
On the basis of this national policy, Yongzheng has increased the apportionment into the mu.
That is, the original per capita tax and silver were abolished, and the income was increased together with the land endowment.
This also led to the explosive growth of the national population in the Yongzheng Dynasty.
During the Kangxi period, the country's population was 19 million. When Yongzheng improved the national policy of spreading the land into mu, in the sixth year of Qianlong, the national population exceeded 100 million, in the 57th year of Qianlong, the national population exceeded 300 million, and in the 14th year of Daoguang, the national population exceeded 400 million.
That year, the world's population was one billion.
It can be seen the horror of this national policy!
After thinking of this, Chu Hao hurriedly returned to the apse to write out this national policy, and ordered the Tong Emperor to send it to Zhuge Liang as soon as possible.
Sure enough, after a while, the national fortune on the national interface increased by 10,000 again, reaching 81,961.
