Let you be a faint king, and you have unified the six kingdoms?

"No, I trust her. She is pregnant with my first child. It must be a trick for Wei Guo to do so. There is no need to investigate."

"But!"

"No, but, you all back down."

Luo Lin waved his hand and walked away.

…………

Since then, Ke Manan often came to visit Zhen Mi, showing a gesture of concern.

Zhen Mi also gets along well with him.

Rollin was very satisfied with this.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the rumors naturally dissipated.

The matter of taxation has been carried out to the end, and the cabinet and court have spent all their energy here.

But the cabinet ministers are tireless.

According to their rough estimates.

This final tax... is delightful!

…………

Wei State.

Yedu.

The news came.

Cao Cong still ate the buns calmly.

"Let's see, what do you think?" Cao Cong threw the information to the two prime ministers.

Sima You: "Wait a little longer."

Guo Run: "Why?"

"These news are only on the surface. If the king is capable, then he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." Sima You said.

"Well. Then wait." Cao Cong said, and then sighed while eating the buns, "It's a troubled time..."

He has already played several games with the Huns.

The Huns are stronger than ever.

But he will not be discouraged because of this, his goal is always to unify the six powers!

It was precisely because of this goal that the Huns bothered him so much.

If the power of the whole country is used, Wei Guo, as the largest country among the seven major countries, can easily defeat the Xiongnu.

The point is here.

After defeating, what gain?

The Xiongnu had some grasslands, but more of them were deserts, land that could not be cultivated.

So what if we win?

chase after?Chasing the opponent's home court to fight?

Even if they win, there is no way to rule the local area.

The only result is the loss of its own national power.

Now that the Qian Kingdom has risen and the situation in the Seven Kingdoms has changed, it is precisely because Cao Cong has the ambition to sweep the Six Kingdoms that he wants to preserve his national power.

then.

Wei Guo made several strategies.

One, repel the Huns.Do not pursue deeply.

Second, develop national power.Keep getting stronger.

Third, suppress other countries.For example, they wanted to support the Tang State and assassinate King Qian before.

Build walls high and accumulate food widely.

If you want to become a generation of heroes who will last through the ages, you must not lose patience.

Be sure to be steady.

Steady mind.

"Your Majesty! The latest information... Qianguo will tax 10 billion taels of silver this year!!"

Cao Cong: "???"

What the hell? !

Wei Guo's tax revenue this year is only 1 million taels of silver!

My mind is broken!

…………

dry country.

The whole court was full of joy.

Dazhi!

This is the real Dazhi!

"The prosperous age of Kangzhe...the prosperous age of Kangzhe! I have already thought about how people in the future will comment on this period of history!!"

"It's really exciting. After studying for decades and becoming an official in the court, isn't it just to govern the country and leave a name in history?"

The ministers of the cabinet were communicating with each other, and they couldn't hide their excitement.

To be honest, they were dumbfounded when they saw this tax.

How outrageous is this number?

Last year, the tax revenue of Qianguo was only 3000 million taels of silver!

This is a fucking thirty-fold increase!

"As expected...corrupt officials are the most damned!" Zhao Yang said.

"Well. Those corrupt officials bullied the people to extract oil and water. I don't know how much money they got!" Zhang Qian echoed, "Besides, the new salt and new sugar are too profitable...the export of new sugar has earned 5 million! Since its appearance After that, there will be a lot of money every day, and merchants from the six countries are flocking to it, so the orders are endless!"

"The new salt is not bad. Although the export is banned, the domestic profit alone is 1 million, which is too much. The price is obviously lower than the old salt."

"Hahaha... the price is low, and the common people can afford it. After the common people have money, the first thing they think about is food and clothing. Salt is a necessity!"

"And the fishing in the south of the Yangtze River has a bright future! How long has it been going on? Over there, the extra tax from the fishing industry is as high as 8000 million taels of silver!"

this moment.

The ministers of the Qian Kingdom realized one thing——

Science and technology are the primary productive forces!

Chapter 62 Beiyan Messenger, Zhao Yang's Book

2030 years.

Department of History, Tsinghua University, lecture hall.

The history teacher told another piece of history at that time. At this time, he was rubbing his hands and was very excited.

This period of history has been studied back and forth, and one can feel the magnificence of the era of the Great Emperor at that time.

It is precisely because of the Great Emperor that there is today's Celestial Dynasty.

Today, China is the greatest country on earth, bar none.

"Students, Kang Zhe's tax revenue in the first year was one billion. In fact, the historians have also studied this aspect." The history teacher laughed.

The students were surprised that they even studied taxation?

The history teacher answered without waiting for the students to ask, "The era of the Great Emperor is worthy of repeated study by historians. This era is a legend, and it is even called [the Miracle of the Celestial Dynasty]. There are countless legendary inventions, legendary figures, and legendary battles in this era...so There are only too many people doing research. Basically, the themes of the papers every year are related to this period of history.”

"Listen well."

"Next, let's talk about the tax revenue of one billion in the first year after the emperor ascended the throne, which is the first year of Kang Zhe."

"Actually, separating the images of the emperor's new salt, new sugar, and the fishing industry brought by the warships at sea, the tax revenue provided by this aspect is about 7.5 million silver."

"In this period, the corn and potatoes that the emperor was looking for have not been planted on a large scale. We will talk about this later. In the second year of Kangzhe, those plants completely changed the lives of the people in our dynasty, so that the people would no longer have famine."

"Ahem, come back."

"Very simple calculation, 10 billion silver separates the 7.5 million silver. That is 2.5 million silver. These are the real impact of non-productivity liberation factors."

"We are familiar with the Qingming government, weakening the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, changing the imperial examination system, etc. The result of these factors is the 2.5 million silver."

"Speaking of it, it's hard for the students to understand."

"Let me just put it this way. At that time, only Qian State in the whole world cleaned up the local wealthy families and achieved clean government. Even Wei State, the most powerful state at that time, failed to achieve clean government because of its large territory and weak supervision. "

At this moment.

Some students raised their hands.

"Teacher, do officials and wealthy businessmen have that much influence?" the student asked.

"Good question." The teacher said, "I can say that it is very, very important!!"

"Collusion between officials and businessmen was a very difficult problem to solve in ancient times. Once local officials and wealthy businessmen colluded with each other, the common people would have no way to redress their grievances, and could only be oppressed. Most importantly, taxes would not come up."

"Where did the money go?"

"Into the wallets of businessmen and corrupt officials."

"Here is an example. In the first year of Kangzhe, there was a high-ranking Jiangnan official surnamed Ma who colluded with the Eight Great Families of Jiangnan at that time. He embezzled 3 million silver in just three years after taking office!"

"And this is the taxation of the country for several years at that time."

Immediately, the students had the most intuitive understanding.

Good guy, is corruption so terrible?A country's taxes for several years have not gone to the court, but to an official's pocket?

"It can be said why Kang Zhe made so many big moves in the first year. Various reforms. It is because too much money was stolen from the house."

"In the beginning, the emperor wanted to increase the salaries of officials, and the treasury was almost empty. The servant of the household department went to Ke Wu every day and cried, saying that he couldn't survive! There is no money in the treasury!"

The history teacher said vividly.

The students all laughed.

Screen again!

"But later, when the house was ransacked, there was a lot of money at once. Later, he defeated the Tang State and received compensation. After that, the treasury of the Qian State was in a relatively full state for a long time."

"Ok."

"Students, let's finish talking about taxation next. Let's continue to talk about an incident during Zhao Shoufu's period, at the end of the first year and the beginning of the second year."

"The war between Beiyan and Xuan'e..."

"Before talking about this, let's talk about another historical premise."

"The previous generation of the Great Emperor. There was a friction war between Qian State and Qi State. At that time, the monarch of Qian State held the idea of ​​far-reaching friendship and close attack, and expressed goodwill to Yan State, which is above Qi State."

"The diplomatic relations between Yan and Qian are good."

Hubu Shilang walked with steps that his relatives did not recognize, humming a ditty whose name he did not know.

He just got drunk a few days ago.
