Fan Ze's decree has only one content, that is, from now on, there shall be no miscellaneous donations and apportionments at the local level.

In fact, the official tax of the Qing Dynasty was extremely low in the previous dynasties, it was twenty taxes and one tax, but the local officials and squires had a large number of miscellaneous donations and assessments, so that the peasants had to pay more than half of the income from the fields, and now the decree is not to charge indiscriminately, which is to reduce the burden on the peasants.

Sure enough, with the issuance of the holy decree, it caused a boycott in various places for a while, and many ministers wrote to cancel the will.

Fan Ze doesn't care about these things now, he is actually just waiting for everyone's rebound, if there is no rebound, he is really not easy to deal with those squires.

Sitting in the room, Fan Ze was enjoying the feeding of a beautiful concubine, and at the same time looked at Xiao Shanzi and asked, "What is the reaction outside?" ”

There are so many women in the palace, and Fan Ze is not Yanagi Hui, so he naturally uses it.

Fan Ze also has his own views on the women in the palace, those so-called emperors who only favor one or two women are actually not a good man for many women in the palace, so many women want to get a chance, but they are not given any chance, many people have never touched a man until they die of old age, which is actually unfair to them.

Fan Ze's approach is that as long as it is a concubine or something, he must communicate with them more, and if he doesn't like it, then let them out of the palace.

Fan Ze has thought about the next step, for the women in the palace, at a certain time, they should be allowed to choose voluntarily, whether to stay or leave.

Where did Xiao Shanzi know that Fan Ze was thinking about things, and he still said seriously: "Back to the emperor, I know from the news that the ministers have some of their own interests in it, and there are many people who oppose it, and even the squires in some places are in contact with the government and want to collectively oppose this will." ”

"What's going on around the capital?"

"It's even more complicated here, and quite a few squires and landlords don't carry out this will."

Fan Ze closed his eyes and pondered, this has touched the interests of too many people.

"Emperor, there is another thing, some officials think that as long as everyone is against it, if the emperor has to continue, they will resign collectively, and then there will be no one in the court who is an official, and the emperor will retract his will."

Fan Ze smiled, those important people in the court were all controlled by himself, and it is estimated that some small officials were making a fool of themselves there, wanting to use this matter to make their court empty, and he really thought of it.

In fact, Fan Ze's purpose in doing this was to kill people and kill some landlords and gentry, so as to facilitate the implementation of some of his policies.

How could a cultivator be afraid of the rebellion of those ordinary people, only rebellion can kill justifiably.

The Qing Dynasty has come to the time when it will not be broken or established.

"Issue a holy decree and levy a commercial tax!"

Fan Ze once again issued the content of the additional commercial tax.

The commercial tax also moved the interests of many big people, and he also wanted to see what kind of situation it would be like to do so.

"Emperor, it is said that the great powers are organizing an army and want to attack our dynasty."

"You have to make a note of who is involved, and then you will clean them up."

After Xiao Shanzi left, Fan Ze hugged the concubine and tossed for a while, and then he considered the question of who to use in the court.

In fact, Jiaqing also has some available courtiers, but although they are famous in history, Fan Ze does not want to use them, in Fan Ze's opinion, their vision is not good, and they do not have a clear understanding of the pattern of the whole world, but those too students are where the hope lies.

"Xiao Shanzi, order the Zhongzi Prison, select a thousand people to be sent to the West to study, let the people of the Ministry of Rites come into contact with the people in Europe, and see if they can be accepted to go."

Fan Ze thought to himself that it was better to let the Chinese people know about the situation in foreign countries.

After the decrees were issued, the entire Qing Dynasty was lively, and everyone had no idea what the new emperor wanted to do.

Fan Ze asked Xiao Shanzi to open a trading office in the capital, this time Fan Ze used the method of flying in the air to fly to those places in Europe non-stop, purchased all their items, put them in the carry-on space and brought them back to the capital, let Xiao Shanzi and them sell, and the income went directly to the Internal Affairs Office, and these incomes belonged to the emperor's private ownership.

It has to be said that this method brought Fan Ze a lot of money.

Now, although there is the dumping of goods, there are also various risks, and the road is far away, so Fan Ze's quick way directly let him start to make a lot of money.

A large amount of money that entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs was secretly sent by Fan Ze to build the army, which made him have more and more troops loyal to him in his hands.

The massive upgrade of weapons has also brought the entire army on a par with the West.

Of course, everything was going on in secret, and now the generals of the military were loyal to Fan Ze, and they were not worried about any chaos in the situation.

A few days later, the officials of the Ministry of Rites replied that the European countries, after receiving a lot of gifts from the Qing Dynasty, were happy to let the personnel of the Qing Dynasty visit and study, and because all the expenses were provided by the Qing Dynasty itself, the countries had received a lot of benefits, and thought that they could further improve the personnel.

For the Qing Dynasty, European countries have actually been looking for opportunities to enter this huge market, since the Qing emperors were interested in letting people know about the West, they didn't mind showing their muscles to the Qing people, and it would be better if they could make the people who went there afraid of their strength.

Hearing such a thing, Fan Ze ordered that the people of the DPRK and China and the wealthy businessmen could sign up for the inspection by themselves, and the expenses should be borne by themselves.

To be honest, many people in the current Qing Dynasty want to learn more about the situation in Europe, and now that the imperial court is taking the lead, there is no big problem with security, and they all begin to sign up.

When the wealthy businessmen heard that they could also go, they also came to sign up.

The original number of students was 1,000, but as the number of applicants increased, the number soon reached 3,000.

Don't look at more than 3,000 people, if they are distributed to various countries, one country will not receive much.

Of course, because it was at their own expense, those rich people did not stop them from bringing some people there, and they didn't care if they were willing to enjoy Fan Ze during the journey, this time they just wanted them to feel the situation of Western technology.
