Xie Xunfeng didn't ask much when he saw this.

Cai Shoucai saw that after the matter was finished, he also gave up his hand and left.

Xie Xunfeng saw that he was clean, so he locked himself in the room.

It wasn't until the next morning that he came out.

After getting up early and exercising, I went to the court.

He knew very well that the court would be very lively today.

...

On the way to the palace, Xie Xunfeng found that there were several people following behind.

It should be Liu Mancang's subordinates.

Xie Xunfeng didn't bother with it, he felt that taking care of this kind of scum was a waste of his time.

It's time for the early dynasty.

Xiao Shentian looked at the people in the hall and said, "My good sons, have you thought of a way? If we don't solve this problem today, we won't retreat."

When Xiao Shentian spoke, Xie Xunfeng's eyes were not idle.

looked at the princes present.

There are only the eldest prince and the third prince, and the two of them almost have a sure victory written on their faces.

Princes, look at me, look at you...

However, after the two of them glanced at each other, neither of them was in a hurry to speak.

And the fourth prince was extremely restrained at this time, and he couldn't see that he had a way at all.

"What's wrong? Let you think about it all day, and you can't sleep! Wen Yan, you are the eldest prince, you come to set an example!" Xiao Shentian said.

Xiao Wenyan glanced around, arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I did think of a way. I don't know if it's mature or not..."

Xiao Shentian smiled and said, "You just say it."

Xiao Wenyan said to Xiao Shentian, "Father, if there is anything wrong with my method, please atone for your sins..."

Xiao Shentian said to Xiao Wenyan, "You say, today is supposed to discuss the matter of disaster relief funds. I atone for your innocence."

Xiao Wenyan said to Xiao Shentian, "Erchen thinks that there is no other way now. We can only collect taxes from the people for one year in advance, and in this way, we will definitely be able to solve the immediate difficulties."

Xiao Shentian snorted coldly and said, "You've thought about it for a long time, so you came up with this idea?"

Xiao Wenyan said to Xiao Shentian in the end, "Back to my father, you listen to my careful analysis. When I say early collection, it's not nationwide. Rather, in batches, in regions. For example, some rich places, the land south of the Yangtze River. The people over there are generally well-off. Collecting taxes for a year in advance will not cause difficulties in their lives at all. Also, you can collect taxes from merchants in advance."

"I've heard that in the Huamanlou, those wealthy merchants' families are spending a lot of money one by one. In this way, as long as there is a small-scale collection, you can make up this one million taels! Here are the details of my specific levy..."

Xiao Wenyan handed in a copy of the recital as he spoke.

After Chang Gonggong stepped forward to take it, he handed it to Xiao Shentian.

After Xiao Shentian saw it, he was still very surprised.

He originally thought that Xiao Wenyan would definitely take out a million taels from the Wu family in the name of fundraising.

However, he never expected that he really thought of a way.

Moreover, it does work.

"Not bad! Yes, it can solve the urgent need!" Xiao Shentian said with a slightly approving expression.

After hearing Xiao Shentian's words, Xiao Wenyan let out a long breath.

This method was given by Yuan Yuan, and he felt that it was too troublesome at first.

At this time, the third prince opened his mouth and said, "Father, the sons and daughters think that the method that the eldest brother said is not reliable. Collecting taxes in advance is a hurtful move for the people. Although the land south of the Yangtze River is rich, there are still a large number of people living in poverty, and if it is levied in advance, it will put some people in trouble. Besides, although this method can solve the urgent need, but what about next year? This year, it will be collected in advance, and next year there will be a small part of the tax. What if there is a natural disaster next year? Will we continue to collect it in advance?"

"Moreover, the rich businessmen you are talking about are in the minority after all. Most of the merchants

None of them were rich. If it is levied in advance, causing their funds to break down, they have only the road to go bankrupt. Therefore, what you are doing is nothing more than tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall, which will provoke the people to revolt!"

"Third Prince, what are you talking about? Look at you, you already have a way to deal with it?" Xiao Wenyan said with an unkind face.

The third prince smiled faintly and nodded, "Naturally."

"Oh? Third, let's talk about it... What can you do?" Xiao Shentian asked curiously.

The third prince arched his hand and subconsciously glanced at Yan Song.

Obviously, this method was proposed by Yan Song.

"Father, the son has a way. That is to enact a new law, so that the princes will also have to pay money to the court." The third prince spoke.

As soon as the words of the third prince came out, the audience was in an uproar.

After listening to the words of the three princes, the eldest prince looked at the three princes as if he were looking at a madman.

"Isn't there something wrong with your brain? Are you trying to cause a mutiny? Is this what you mean, or is it Yan Song's meaning..."The eldest prince said directly.

After Yan Song heard the words of the eldest prince, he directly stepped forward and said, "The eldest prince, this is the meaning of the third prince!" That's what I mean, too! Logically speaking, our Great Xia is a vast land and a vast country, and it is also the most powerful country among the Three Kingdoms. However, only we know that we are strong in the Great Xia! The reason for this is because there are too many princes who are divided. We, Great Xia, have divided the best one-third of our territory among the vassal kings! However, once something happened to the vassal kings, they had to ask the court for money. However, the tax revenue of their income has never been given to the imperial court."

"Now the prince has become a leech that is attached to Great Xia! We're not trying to cut the feudal domain, we're just going to get them to hand over a portion of the taxes! I have preliminarily calculated that if the prince of the whole country is willing to hand over one-third of the tax revenue, our Great Xia treasury will have 120,000 gold revenue a year."

Wu Guozhang said faintly at this time, "Master Yan, you can't help but think a little too simply. If you let the princes have sex, will the princes have sex obediently? Since ancient times, has there been less civil strife caused by Prince Cut? Moreover, those princes are all the first emperor, and His Majesty's siblings! What is your intention in proposing this solution? I think you want to provoke a mutiny and put Your Majesty in a situation of disloyalty and unfilial piety!"

Taishi Yan said with an unkind face, "My method is beneficial to the country and the people! Princes will always understand, when the tide rises, the ship rises! As long as Daxia is good, the princes will be good! But you want to collect taxes from the people in advance, this is the act of disaster for the country, did you come up with this method with your ass?"

Seeing that the two sides were arguing, the fourth prince, who had not spoken, stepped forward slightly and said, "Father, I have a good plan!"
