Live as the emperor

Chapter 120

Of course, this is a long process, and it is also a complicated process. Chen Guang does not expect to be able to complete such a transformation in a day or two, and it is even impossible to complete it in three to five years.

But at least with such a direction, we will not take detours, do thankless things, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Although everyone present was so shocked that they didn't know what to say, Chen Guang hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Although I know that we are not doing enough now, this must be a direction and trend, at least I think so. I hope that all the income from the project will go directly to the national treasury, and the income of everyone who works will be directly from The taxes that should be deducted from the accounts of Project Hope have already been deducted and turned over to the national treasury before they reach their hands. Therefore, I assured my father that the taxes for Project Hope will be paid in full and on time. It was handed over without any fuss in the process.”

"Now that this issue has been raised, Naomi can guarantee that until these issues are resolved, more people will not let their fields go uncultivated in order to get a higher income than farming."

The so-called fire consumption is these taxes. In the process of collecting them, everyone will touch them. After touching them, they will naturally be less. If you grab a handful of pig skins, you can still leave a slap of lard.This is the fire cost, but if you change the method, instead of you paying taxes, I will directly control all your income in my hands, directly deduct the tax and then give it to you personally, which reduces the fire cost in the middle. , maybe one or two people are nothing, but with so many people across the country, how big a deal would it be if they were gathered together?
Of course, this is all after monetization. It is definitely unrealistic to do it now, but at least Chen Guang knows how it will develop in the future. This is his advantage as a time traveler.

Obviously, this last item moved Chen Ang. He sighed and said, "Since you know, then think about it when you do it in the future. After all, the farmers and the land are the fundamentals. You must weigh the pros and cons."

As an emperor, of course he cares about the treasury. Only when the treasury is full can he be confident in doing things.Now that the hope project has been implemented for more than a year, Chen Ang also knows the money turned over to the national treasury, but the idea of ​​putting agriculture first is at work, so he wants to beat Chen Guang. Unexpectedly, Chen Guang has come up with such a big set Make sense.I was a little worried before that he didn't know the stakes, but now it seems that he not only knows, but understands it better than many people.That being the case, why not let him give it a try under the premise that it can be controlled?

It has to be said that Chen Ang is an enlightened emperor.Of course, most of the founding emperors were also enlightened. They knew that the road planned by the previous people would not work, so they naturally wanted to change.Adding this kind of variation is manageable and has a significant effect, don't mind giving it a try.

From Chen Ang's words and tone, Chen Guang knew that he had really turned the danger into a bargain this time. Although Chen Ang did not show support, at least he did not object. Ang should not ask more questions.

Yes, there is no doubt that Chen Ang told Chen Guang not because the land was barren, but because this behavior touched the interests of some people, and those people protested to Chen Ang.

But why didn't Chen Ang directly oppose Chen Guang to continue doing this?The reason is still in the last sentence, because of what Chen Guang did, the treasury can collect money, and the amount is more than that received from the land, that's all.

The barrenness of those lands, the grain produced, and even the grain pattern in the capital have no effect, let alone the whole country. This is simply because someone is obstructing it.

This truth is also obtained by Chen Guang from the people in the live broadcast room. I have to say that although most people in the live broadcast room seem to be very unreliable, it is already enough for Chen Guang to have reliable people who can stand up at critical moments. It is very beautiful.

The problem now is not between Chen Guang and Chen Ang, but the conflict between Chen Guang and the group of vested interests. Chen Ang is just a middleman, even though he is the emperor.

It sounds ridiculous, but the key to the problem is to see whether Chen Guang benefited more from what he did, or whether the resistance of the vested interests caused him greater losses.

Don't talk about blood relationships. In the imperial family, blood relationships can sometimes become so weak that they look like bullshit.

These ministers were shocked by Chen Guang's long speech, but Chen Ang's attitude was unclear. He neither opposed Chen Guang's doing these things, nor said he would advocate them, which made Chen Guang and these ministers have some thoughts in their hearts.

Naturally, Chen Guang no longer dares to act as unscrupulously as before. Fortunately, the stalls have been spread out. Even if the scale is not expanded, maintaining the status quo is enough. As time goes by, there is no telling what will happen in the future.

As for the ministers, although only one official submitted the memorial, who knows how many people are supporting the memorial.Now that Chen Ang's attitude is unclear, they naturally don't dare to be radical and wait and see for a while.

After that, many things were discussed at the court, until the sun went to the west, and then the court ended. Chen Guang stood for a long time, feeling that his legs were almost not his own.

Chen Ang left, and the officials gathered together in twos and threes to discuss what Chen Guang said.Chen Guang was not interested in hearing how his own content would be distorted by the thinking of these minds from 1000 years ago, so he walked away from ancient times.After leaving the main hall, someone caught up with him and said, "Your Highness, please walk slowly."

Chen Guang stopped, turned his head to look, but said with a smile, "So it's my father-in-law."

It was Zhou Ding, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who came here.

Zhou Ding caught up with Chen Guang, with a burning expression on his face, before Chen Guang could ask, Zhou Ding said, "Your Highness, what you said today is really inappropriate."

Chen Guang was surprised. These were neither curses nor insinuations, so why couldn't they be said?
"Where did you say that?"

Zhou Dingdao: "The way of the people of the port lies in emphasizing agriculture. These are the words of a sage. Today, His Royal Highness said that 360 actions will lead to the number one scholar. Doesn't this deny the words of the sage?"

Alas, sure enough, don't reason with people 1000 years ago, and you will be scared to death by them.

Chen Guang never blindly believed in the words of any saint, especially nonsense like this. Everyone is farming and not doing anything else. However, these saints themselves are not diligent in their limbs and cannot distinguish between grains and grains. How can they still say that? It is simply puzzling to say something like this.
