Great Wei scholar

"It's not much, let's make up [-]% of it, and [-]% of the tax will be collected in the future, and there will be various customs duties."

Xu Qingxiao expressed his thoughts.

"[-]% supplement? [-]% levy? And tariffs?"

This time An Guogong called out. Although he doesn't know the Ministry of Households, he still understands taxation.

The Great Wei is now in decline, collecting [-]% of the tax, and the people are complaining, Xu Qingxiao directly collects [-]% of the tax?Will these people agree?

What tariffs are there? Although I don't know what it means, it sounds like another expense.

Xu Qingxiao's knife is too ruthless, right?

"Shouren, your expropriation is too exaggerated, isn't it? I'm afraid it will cause public resentment."

Zhang Jing couldn't help but speak, but his tone was okay. After all, it was aimed at people from other races, and not from the royal family, so it's fine.

If this is the silver tael of the royal family, let alone [-]% to [-]%, [-]% will cause big troubles.

It would be much better to levy aliens.

It's just a bit exaggerated.

"Public grievances?"

Xu Qingxiao sneered, then spoke.

"These alien races are so presumptuous in Kyoto, buying and selling by force, why are they not afraid of arousing public resentment?"

"Besides, if you dare to be so presumptuous in Kyoto, what do you two think will happen in other places? There are quite a few cases like this in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and quite a few of them even resulted in fatalities."

"The Great Wei Dynasty, a state of etiquette, is right to rule the country, but it also depends on the time. Depending on the situation, face is important, but the development of the country is more important."

"I'm not afraid of arousing public resentment, but I think the people will support it."

Xu Qingxiao said seriously.

After hearing this, An Guogong and Zhang Jing couldn't help but nodded, feeling that there was indeed some truth.

"Forty percent can be collected and [-]% tax payable. It's really impossible. The food looks too ugly."

An Guogong said so.

Zhang Jing also agrees with this statement, you can expropriate if you want, but it is really exaggerated to do so much in one go.

"I have my own idea about this."

Xu Qingxiao shook his head. Since he dared to do this, he must have made a comprehensive plan. As for what it was, Xu Qingxiao couldn't say.

"Shouren, tell me the truth, you really don't know how to do anything to the royal family?"

An Guogong asked.

"will not!"

Xu Qingxiao spoke directly, but added two words in her heart, temporarily!

Taking action against the royal family must be a matter of the future, at least not now.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I support you, don't worry, our military officers also support you, and this group of aliens is indeed not a good thing. I can't see it on weekdays, but I have heard of it. For a few things like this, you can do it with confidence, if something really happens, the old man and others will help you."

After receiving Xu Qingxiao's definite answer, Duke An heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the royal family is not involved, this matter will not be a big deal.

But to move other races, that's none of my business?You are not a citizen of the Great Wei itself, so what if you take [-]% of you?

Dissatisfied?Get out if you don't agree!

Zhang Jing nodded, but he was not as courageous as Duke An.

"Shouren, since His Majesty has asked the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War to assist you, you can just speak up if you have anything to do, but I still advise, don't be too ruthless, lest you cause trouble."

Zhang Jing is a civil servant, it's normal not to have the courage of a military officer, but there is nothing wrong with what he said, don't rush to do things, you have to think clearly before doing it.

"clear."

Xu Qingxiao nodded, and the two didn't say much.

Ready to get up and go.

But the next moment, Xu Qingxiao pulled the two of them back.

"An Guogong, Zhang Shangshu, today's words, only the three of us know the best, if it gets out, then I have no choice but to take a stab at the royal family."

Xu Qingxiao was not threatening, but just a reminder.

If they talk about it, there will be some troubles. It's not a big problem, but it's better not to say it.

"Don't worry, uncle is strict."

An Guogong nodded.

And Zhang Jing followed.

"Careful."

After saying this, the two got up and left.

After watching the two leave, Xu Qingxiao took a sip of tea, then looked at Yang Hudao who was practicing martial arts beside him.

"Yang Hu, write a recruitment notice and hire a cook. Don't eat the food from the inn every day. It's oily and expensive."

Xu Qingxiao said casually, and went back to rest after speaking.

Xu Qingxiao has already thought of a way to deal with the matter of alien races, but he needs an opportunity, and this opportunity will come to his door in a short time.

Outside Shouren Academy.

An Guogong walked with Zhang Jing, and after walking for a while, An Guogong spoke up.

"Do you think my nephew Qing Xiao has lied to us?"

An Guogong asked.

"probably not."

"This kind of matter is too involved, and it doesn't make any sense for him to lie to us. Besides, I believe His Majesty will not let him mess around like this."

Zhang Jing gave an answer, he thought that Xu Qingxiao should not have lied to himself.

"Well, normally, His Majesty will never allow him to mess around, but everything is uncertain, and we still have to be prepared."

An Guogong said so.

"Okay, since that's the case, Mr. An, I will retire."

Zhang Jing nodded and left directly.

An Guogong didn't think much about it, and went straight back to his home.

At this time, many Liehou Guogongs were waiting for him.

"How is An Guogong?"

"What's the situation? Old Li, please explain clearly."

"What does nephew Qingxiao mean?"

Everyone opened their mouths and surrounded them.

"It's okay, the old man has already asked clearly, Qingxiao has no plans to trouble the royal family."

An Guo opened his mouth and said so.

"Really? I don't believe it!"

"Mr. An, tell the truth, there is no need to lie about this kid."

"Yeah, yeah, we can all take it, just say it."

Everyone spoke up one after another, let An Guogong speak directly.

"Really, in a word, don't worry about it, this matter is not as bad as you think, but you will know what it is in a few days, it's okay, it's okay, go back, don't bother me at home. "

An Guo opened his mouth, suppressed the voices of the crowd, said very firmly, and drove them away by the way.

Everyone was a little confused, but under An Guogong's gaze, they left obediently one by one.

Not only here, but also the Ministry of Punishment.

Zhang Jing closed the door, ignoring the inquiries from the servant outside. Since Xu Qingxiao had explained this matter, he would not say it.

The behavior of the two naturally spread instantly.

No one knows exactly what Xu Qingxiao's purpose is, but everyone still pointed their fingers at the royal family.

The next morning.

Before Maoshi came, horses hurried over from Kyoto, and they were memorials sent by vassal kings from all over the country, and they were urgently delivered to the palace.

The memorials of these princes are nothing more than one thing.

Xu Qingxiao killed the king, made such a big mistake, and promoted him on purpose?What does it mean?

The most intense letter is more direct.

Xu Qingxiao's killing of the king violated the prestige of the emperor. Although the king of Huaiping County was wrong in this matter, the king should not be humiliated. If it wasn't for the fact that the Great Wei needed talents now, Xu Qingxiao would have died a hundred times.

But now His Majesty still gave Xu Qingxiao a promotion, that's fine, even gave Xu Qingxiao the Great Inner Dragon Talisman, and asked the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War to obey Xu Qingxiao?

Xu Qingxiao who has no power dares to kill the king. After becoming powerful, wouldn't the sky be turned upside down?

Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to think twice, take back the holy will, and have some doubts, is Your Majesty bewitched by treacherous ministers?

All the words don't matter, but the last sentence is full of other meanings, directly defining Xu Qingxiao as a traitor. If Xu Qingxiao really dares to make a fuss, they will have no choice but to take the Qingjun side.

Of course, I didn't dare to say this, I just expressed some dissatisfaction.

The meaning of the vassal king's coming to play is very simple in the final analysis. It has the shadow of Prince Huaining, but he still cares more about his own interests.

If their interests are really affected, a hundred of them will quit, and it is possible to directly rebel.

So in order not to come to this point, I sent the memorial first to show my attitude. As for the rest, it depends on what the empress means. If you do well, everyone will take a step back. , Became an emperor.

Inside the palace.

The court meeting began, and after an hour of state affairs debate, it was time for the individual session.

Some county kings who didn't go to court very much came suddenly today, and the general content was to ask Xu Qingxiao about things.

He was promoted to Yuanwailang and they had nothing to say, he was just a sixth-rank official, he was crushed to death, but he was given the decree of heaven with his front foot, and the Da Neilong talisman with his back foot, which was a bit unreasonable.

in the hall.

A county king asked calmly.

The civil and military officials were silent, but the empress' voice slowly sounded from the dragon chair.

"I!"

"Give Xu Qingxiao the Dragon Talisman!"

"I have my arrangement."

"Need to tell you?"

On the dragon chair, the empress's voice was a little cold. After saying this sentence, the latter's expression changed immediately.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, my minister. I am just thinking about the great Wei, so I ask a question, my minister, I am guilty."

The latter opened his mouth and bowed his head on the ground to apologize.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Great Wei Empress is serious about giving Xu Qingxiao the Great Inner Dragon Talisman, which must be a big deal. As for whether it is aimed at the royal family, it is really unclear.

But looking at the situation, the possibility is very high.

On that day, the court meeting ended.

The letters were sent urgently, and even in some county princes' mansions, the letters were sent by means of immortality, and the letters must be sent to the hands of the county kings in various places as quickly as possible.

Inexplicably, a layer of dark clouds enveloped many people's hearts.

What the empress wants to do, no one knows.

It's just that everyone knows that something big is bound to happen in the past few days.

And this moment.

In Shouren Academy.
