Chapter 366: Dealing with Taxes

What does Shen Jiaojiao want to do, Fu Yanhui wants to know, why doesn't Lafayette want to know?

How could a child who had disappeared for so many years suddenly appear out of thin air and become the emperor of the Dawu Empire?

Didn't the Dawu Empire make her a shame?

Didn't Ji Chongdao want to get rid of her quickly?

How the hell did she do it?

More importantly, what is she going to do next?

Did she know what happened back then?

Ji Chongdao's death, does it have anything to do with her? Will she do it to the goose? Will it attack Dawu?

Thinking of this, Lafayette felt a chill in his fingers, maybe this is retribution.

"Queen Mother, why don't we strike first......" Fu Yanhui didn't want to be frightened, she was ready to take the initiative to deal with Shen Jiaojiao.

Looking at the killing intent in her eyes, Lafayette was shocked.

Maybe it was really her mistake at the beginning, and she actually raised her daughter into this selfish character.

His tone was a little cold, and Lafayette looked at his daughter, "At the beginning, Yueqiu made peace for you, and because of the marriage matter, she gave her life, but now you want to kill her daughter?" ”

"Yanhui, when did you become like this?"

“?”

Fu Yanhui looked at his queen mother strangely, "I am a princess, she is a commoner, she can be a princess and marry me, isn't that her blessing?" ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't rare, it would be her turn to be the crown princess?"

"Huh."

Listening to Fu Yan's remarkable words, Lafayette laughed self-deprecatingly.

Sure enough, it was retribution.

She harmed the lives of other people's daughters, and also hurt the hearts of her own daughters.

……

Under the pretext of an empty treasury, Shen Jiaojiao hastily buried Ji Chongdao.

I thought that the officials would find fault with her again, but I didn't expect that in this matter, the officials reached a strange agreement with her.

What qualifications does an emperor who has not been in court for a long time have to make a big deal after his death?

It's ridiculous that Ji Chongdao also deliberately took poison, wanting to cause trouble to Shen Jiaojiao and make others suspect that Shen Jiaojiao killed the monarch and seized the throne.

But the fact is that the imperial doctors in the palace were all killed by Ji Chongdao, and only An Qiliang was left as a bare-bones commander, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.

casually fooled a few sentences, and sent Ji Chongdao to the imperial tomb.

Originally, according to Shen Jiaojiao's idea, she was going to find a mass grave at random, take a straw mat at random, and bury Ji Chongdao in it and pull it down.

But for the sake of Qiang Xun's face, Shen Jiaojiao gave up this idea.

After hastily ending Ji Chongdao's funeral, she began a drastic reform.

First of all, the first thing that is imminent is the tax issue.

In these years, Ji Chongdao has not worked, and Ji Yangwen can't suppress the elite class, causing the elites to collude and desperately oppress the lower class of the people.

They are extravagant and lascivious, spending a lot of money, but they don't produce.

It is a group of masters who only know how to spend money, but do not know how to make money.

Relying on the power in his hands, he wantonly oppressed the people, and wantonly collected all kinds of inexplicable taxes in the name of paying taxes.

When Shen Jiaojiao saw any road tax, bridge tax, and water tax, she was simply laughed at.

As a result, we have strengthened our determination to reduce tax collection.

But in this way, the interests of the elite are moved, how can they agree?

"It's nonsense!"

"We've always been taxing like this, and nothing has happened to us."

"She's a woman, what do you know? It's nothing more than thinking that one is one out. ”

"Master Guo, what do you think?" Everyone said indignantly and looked at Guo Zhang, who was sitting at the top.

He is the grandfather of the Ten Princes, and when Hua Zaimian was alive, he had no status and no ambitions.

But later, the three princes died one after another, and Hua Zaimian was also corrected, and his mind was activated.

The ninth princess is just a girl, even if she is a little older than her own grandson, most courtiers will not support her.

The other princes behind are too young, and they don't have a chance of winning with their own grandchildren.

Thinking about it, this throne is really likely to fall into the hands of his grandson.

Many officials had the same idea as him, and everyone soon had a tacit understanding and was ready to show their skills.

But unexpectedly, before he could plan, Ji Chongdao died.

left a holy decree and let Shen Jiaojiao inherit the throne.

Therefore, for Shen Jiaojiao, Guo Zhang not only has public grudges, but also personal enmity.

As soon as he heard that his colleagues were dissatisfied with Shen Jiaojiao, he naturally hit the snake with the stick, ready to entangle the hundred officials and give Shen Jiaojiao a little color.

Let her know that this court is not a place for women after all.

If she voluntarily abdicates, that's fine, if she doesn't want to, then tossing won't kill her!

"Looking at what everyone means, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with the tax reduction and exemption?" Guo Zhang is worthy of being an old fox, and he pulled everyone into the water with one sentence.

It's not that I'm not satisfied, it's that you're dissatisfied.

Even if this official does something, he is helping you.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and the other officials naturally understood what Guo Zhang meant, so they hurriedly said, "We really feel that it is inappropriate." ”

"I wonder if Lord Guo has any way to stop His Majesty's thoughts?"

"Of course." Guo Zhang sipped the tea leisurely, looking like he was in control.

"Oh?" Everyone was curious, "What is the best plan for Lord Guo?" ”

"Ask Lord Guo for advice."

"Lord Guo is really powerful."

was praised by everyone, and Lord Guo didn't hide it, and said his plan in one go, "Tomorrow, let's not talk, let her hang it." ”

"Let's see if she can stand it."

"Hanging?" The crowd was a little worried, "Can it be done?" ”

"Alas~" one of them laughed a little chicken thief, "Old buddy still doesn't understand women." ”

"A woman is not afraid of you for anything else, but she is afraid that you will hang her."

"My wife told me before that she wanted to go back to her parents' house, but I didn't say anything, and after two days of drying her, she didn't dare to mention it again."

Everyone was moved by what he said, and then thought about it and felt that it made sense, so they agreed to the plan.

Just in case, they also secretly sent someone to inform those old marquis and old princes of the news.

Those talents are big people who collect taxes and make money in enclosures, and they are all old heroes, and they are Shen Jiaojiao's elders.

These people don't show up on weekdays, but it is impossible to be indifferent to this kind of matter related to their own interests.

If these ancestors went to the court, it would be impossible for the taxes to move.

provoked them, I am afraid that they dare to scold Shen Jiaojiao directly in the court.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhang and the others almost smiled crookedly.

One by one, with excitement and excitement in their hearts, it was very difficult to see the scene of Shen Jiaojiao being besieged by the old heroes and then being scolded and crying.

It's best for the old marquis to give her a little strength and beat her up.

Hmph, let her know that she knows how powerful.

The dragon chair, she really thought it was so easy to sit on?
