Zhu Mingjie is a dandy, his body has been hollowed out by alcohol and sex. Normally, a person with a stick of ninety will not die, unless his health is too poor.
At eighty, Zhu Mingjie died, but Li Chengze still let him finish ninety.
"My lord, the prisoner is dead."
Li Chengze: "If he dies, he will die. Drag him out and parade him through the streets, and tell everyone in Wangcheng that whoever dares to violate the iron law of Daxia will end up here."
"Master is wise."
"Master is wise."
Everyone outside the hall shouted in unison.
Li Chengze: "Thank you all for your support. As the governor of Chengtian Mansion, I am ashamed of Your Majesty and the people of Wangcheng for what happened."
"Thank you, my lord, for giving the grassroots justice."
The old man knelt down on the ground in tears.
The young girl also knelt on the ground with the old father.
Li Chengze hastily came over to help them up: "Old man, you are serious. This is my duty, and it is the right that His Majesty bestows on me. I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty's entrustment, and I will not let the people of Wangcheng feel cold."
After the old gentleman thanked Li Chengze, he hurriedly thanked Xia Tian.
"Thank you for your kindness, son, I will never forget it."
"You don't need to be like this, old man. At the feet of the emperor, this kind of thing happened. This is the court's dereliction of duty."
"I believe that under Master Li's management in the future, the law and order in Wangcheng will become very good."
Li Chengze: "Yes, yes, I will definitely strengthen the security management of the royal city, so as not to disappoint the imperial court and His Majesty."
Then Li Chengze arranged for the police to send the old man and his daughter away, and all the onlookers also left.
Only Xia Tian, Xiao Xuanzi and Shangguan Qiushuang were left in the lobby.
Shangguan Qiushuang looked at him, her beautiful eyes fluctuating: "What's your name?"
"My name is Huang Tian, and I'm the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Palace Guards."
No wonder the governor of Chengtian Mansion was so scared when he saw him.
It turned out to be the deputy commander of the Imperial Palace Guards, a person close to the emperor.
"Master Huang, please come inside."
Xia Tian: "You wait for me outside, Master Li and I will go in and have a few words."
Go into the inner hall.
Li Chengze immediately knelt down on the ground: "My subject, Li Chengze, pays homage to Your Majesty."
"Get up."
Li Chengze stood up tremblingly.
"Li Aiqing handled the case well just now, I hope to continue like this in the future, don't let me down."
"The minister will live up to His Majesty's entrustment."
"In the future, I will ask people to set up a grievance drum outside the palace. Anyone with serious grievances can play the drum, and I will personally try it."
"But I don't want to have that day, understand Li Aiqing?"
A layer of cold sweat rose on Li Chengze's forehead: "I...I understand."
When the palace's grievance drum sounded, it was probably the time when his head fell to the ground.
"Whether it's a prince or a nobleman or an official of the court, anyone who dares to violate the laws of the Great Xia will be severely punished. With me here, no one can touch you."
Chapter 17 Shangguan Qiushuang
The red light on Li Chengze's head gradually turned into lavender.
"I would like to obey His Majesty's will."
Xia Tian patted him on the shoulder: "Don't let me down."
After speaking, he turned and left the inner hall.
Back in the front hall, Xia Tian, Xiao Xuanzi and Shangguan Qiushuang left Chengtian Mansion.
"Miss Shangguan, where are you going?"
Shangguan Qiushuang replied with a smile: "I was planning to go home just now, and I happened to see that scene. I was worried about causing trouble to my father, so I didn't dare to stand up."
"How could this cause trouble to Lord Shangguan? You are doing a good deed."
"My father said that there are many factions in the imperial court. If I am not allowed to offend people at will, I may offend people from one of the factions."
"It's okay, come to me if you have trouble in the future, and I will help you solve it."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. A gentleman's words are hard to follow."
"That household member Uiro is said to be the household secretary, you won't be in trouble, will you?"
"No, the emperor is wise and mighty, and has people in his heart. I do this kind of thing because I have been influenced by the emperor."
"Miss Shangguan, get in the car, I'll let you go back."
"No, I'll just walk back by myself."
"It's okay, miss Shangguan, you're welcome, get in the car."
Shangguan Qiushuang couldn't beat him, and got into the carriage, which was much more luxurious than her family's carriage.
The two sat inside, and Xia Tian handed her a piece of fruit: "Miss Shangguan, try this fruit, it's a good thing in the palace."
Shangguan Qiushuang took it and took a bite.
"Master Huang, you have become the commander of the imperial guards at such a young age. You are really amazing."
"You can just call me Mr. Huang, we are about the same age."
"How about that, you are my father's colleague."
"Lord Shangguan is a senior in my eyes, it's fine for you and me to be of the same generation."
Shangguan Qiu's pretty face showed a smile: "Then I won't be polite, Mr. Huang, where are you from?"
"I'm from Tianshan County. When I was a few years old, I learned martial arts with my master, and later joined the Imperial Guard."
If you want to get a girlfriend, first you have to be able to lie without blushing.
"Young Master Huang, your martial arts should be very good too, right?"
"Of course, no one in the Forbidden Army is my opponent, even Commander Xie is not my opponent."
Shangguan Qiu's beautiful eyes widened: "I heard that Commander Xie is highly skilled in martial arts and is the number one master in the university."
"He has just reached the rank nine martial artist. The former number one master was General Manager Liu. He was the pinnacle of rank nine, but he died a few days ago. Now I am the number one in the ranks."
"Young Master Huang is really amazing."
Shangguan Qiushuang's beautiful eyes were full of admiration.
"Miss Qiu Shuang has won the award, she is only ninth grade. The master said that below the third-rate martial artist is not a first-rate martial artist."
"Young Master Huang's master must be a master outside the world."
"Well, my master is very powerful, but I don't know what his specific strength is."
The two chatted happily along the way.
Xia Tian's mind and language are not comparable to people in this world.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of Shangguan Fei's mansion.
"Mr. Huang, I'm home, thank you for taking me back."
"Qiu Shuang, you're welcome, I'll take you down."
Good guy, after a while, even Qiu Shuang has called out.
Shangguan Qiushuang was a little embarrassed, but she didn't refuse such a friendly title.
When getting off the carriage, Xia Tian took the initiative to support her arm, and did not make excessive movements, which made Shangguan Qiu's pretty face blush slightly.
This kind of action was a very common gentleman's action in his previous life.
But in this world it's a little more intimate.
According to scientific research, the more times you touch a woman, the easier it is for her to fall in love with you.
These knowledge points are the secrets of picking up girls that Xia Tian painstakingly studied in her previous life.
"Master Huang, I'm going back first."
Shangguan Qiushuang's delicate and pretty face was a little reddish, and said softly.
Xia Tian smiled: "Go, I will come to play with you some other day when I am free."
"Um"
She replied softly, turned around and ran into the mansion.
Seeing her reaction, Xia Tian smiled.
Girls in this world are so easy to deceive.
He hummed softly: "I'm not a scumbag, I just have the world in my heart and want to give every girl a home."
"My lord, shall we go back to the palace?"
"Go back to the palace."
Daxia Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Xia Tian was processing the memorial: "Is Xie An back?"
"Return to Your Majesty, not yet."
"Call Shangguan Chengye here."
A few minutes later, Shangguan Chengye came to the imperial study.
"I pay respects to Your Majesty."
"Shangguan Shangshu doesn't need to be too polite. I have restarted the Wuyingwei Information Network. You first allocate 100 million copper coins to Shangguanfei."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"How much property is currently in the treasury?"
"130 taels of gold, 1000 taels of silver, 2000 copper coins, a total of 320 taels, other properties vary."
Xia Tian was a little surprised: "Only this little money?"
The Great Xia Dynasty has been established for more than 300 years, and the treasury only has so little money.
Originally, the national treasury was quite sufficient before, but his cheap dad was extravagant and built various palaces, which cost a lot.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the national treasury is now empty. If there is a big war, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it."
"How much is the annual tax?"
"About 800 million guan."
Ten thousand guan is 1 taels of silver.
Xia Tian frowned slightly: "I know, step back."
After processing the memorial, he said to Xiao Xuanzi, "Go and get the books on taxation policy."
Soon Xiao Xuanzi brought the things.
Xia Tian took a closer look and found a relatively big problem. The land tax of the dynasty is relatively high, but the commercial tax is very little.
This is totally unreasonable.
Merchants earn more money, but their taxes are less.
The income of poor peasants from farming is not high, but they are taxed the most.
