It was also the first time for Xiao Xuanzi and Xie An to visit the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and they were also amazed by the luxurious decoration in the hall.

A few minutes later, the paunchy sixth prince walked into the main hall.

When he saw Xia Tian sitting there, he hurriedly said, "I greet Your Majesty."

"Uncle Sixth, please sit down."

Xia Jingye: "Your Majesty, take your seat."

Xia Tian sat on the main seat, Xia Jingye sat beside him.

He was a little puzzled, why did His Majesty come to my palace suddenly?

Xia Tian looked at the Sixth Prince with a smile and said: "The outside world says that the Sixth Prince is as rich as an enemy, it seems that the rumors are true."

Xia Jingye's heart skipped a beat, this is not a good word.

"Your Majesty, I just ran a small business and made some money, and I absolutely did not do anything against discipline."

Xia Tian smiled slightly: "Uncle Liu Huang, don't be nervous, I have no other intentions."

Xia Jingye naturally wouldn't believe his words, the little emperor was no longer the little emperor he was back then.

"I came here today to ask Uncle Six for advice on something."

"Your Majesty, you are serious. Everyone knows that I don't understand anything except business that can't be put on the table."

Xia Tian's complexion remains unchanged, and his smile remains the same.

In his opinion, Liu Huangshu is the smartest person, and he can do business in various dynasties and even other dynasties, how could he be a mediocre person.

Chapter 37

Xia Tian was full of smiles: "Uncle Sixth Emperor, I plan to reform the dynasty's taxes, increase commercial taxes, and reduce various miscellaneous taxes for ordinary people. What do you think?"

Xia Jingye was startled when he heard his words.

Raise business taxes?Reduce various miscellaneous taxes for ordinary people?

"Your Majesty, I think it's good. Now the dynasty's business is prosperous, but the commercial tax is extremely low, and the income of ordinary people is not high, but various miscellaneous taxes are serious. If it goes on for a long time, if there is no tax reform, the dynasty will be in danger."

Xia Tian smiled and nodded: "Uncle Liuhuang is right, but it is very difficult to implement it, which will definitely touch the interests of princes and nobles."

Xia Jingye hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, no matter what decision you make, I will support Your Majesty."

"I know Uncle Liu Huang's loyalty. Uncle Liu Huang is a smart man, and I know that I did this for the long-term peace and stability of the Great Xia royal family."

"The Great Xia royal family is prosperous and prosperous, and the six emperor uncles will live more comfortably. If the Great Xia royal family falls, all members of our Great Xia royal family will die, just like the Great Zhou royal family back then."

The Great Xia Dynasty overthrew the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty back then was larger than that of the current Great Xia Dynasty.

The Great Chu Dynasty and the Great Chen Dynasty to the east of the Great Xia Dynasty were both the territories of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This shows how huge the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was.

It's just that the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty were obsessed with cultivating immortality and longevity all the year round, and they hardly dealt with government affairs, which resulted in serious corruption below and the people's livelihood.

It is rumored that the most important reason is that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a problem with his cultivation, which gave the First Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and others an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The Sixth Prince nodded earnestly when he heard his words: "Your Majesty is right, the Royal Clan of Great Xia will live in peace for a long time, and we, the children of the royal family, will live a better life."

Xia Tian: "I'm here today to see Uncle Liu Huang, and to let Uncle Liu Huang talk about this matter to some friends in business. Tax reform is imperative for me, so don't let them run into my blade."

"I understand."

"I'll trouble the emperor's uncle to do this matter, and I won't bother the emperor's uncle any more."

After he finished speaking, he got up and left. Xia Jingye sent him to the gate of the mansion, and waited for him to leave in a carriage before returning to the mansion.

Back in the main hall, he sat on a chair there frowning.

Soon a young man and woman walked in.

Xia Gaozhuo asked curiously: "Father, what does Your Majesty want from you?"

Xia Jingye sighed: "Your Majesty will carry out tax reforms, increase commercial taxes, and reduce various miscellaneous taxes for ordinary people."

Xia Gaozhuo was stunned for a moment: "Is Your Majesty going to use us?"

Xia Jingye sighed inwardly, his second son's brains were still a bit weak.

"How could His Majesty target us? Anyway, we are a family. Your Majesty has great ambitions. Now the dynasty seems to be prosperous, but it is actually riddled with holes. If you are not careful, the building will collapse."

"If the Great Xia Dynasty falls, all members of our Great Xia royal family will die."

The young woman next to him said: "Your Majesty is looking for the father, probably because he wants the father to lobby other princes and nobles?"

Xia Jingye showed a gratified smile: "Yunmeng is right, His Majesty means exactly that."

Xia Gaozhuo: "Father, according to what you said, it is a good thing for the Great Xia Dynasty. Why are you still frowning?"

Xia Yunmeng shook his head: "Otherwise, the tax reform will not be so easy. It will touch the interests of a large number of middle and upper class people. If any prince or noble family has no business, the tax reform will definitely offend these people."

"If the reform fails, it will only accelerate the demise of the Great Xia Dynasty. Father should be worried about this."

Xia Jingye nodded slightly: "It's still Yunmeng who understands my father's thoughts. Taxation reform is a double-edged sword."

Xia Gaozhuo: "Father, didn't you tell His Majesty this?"

"Although your majesty is young, his means and city are not inferior to those veteran court officials. How could he not understand these principles? I don't need to say more."

Xia Gaozhuo: "Then what is the father planning to do?"

"I can do whatever Your Majesty asks me to do. Hey, I hope His Majesty can succeed. This is no longer something we can decide."

Xia Yunmeng: "Is he still my cowardly cousin? Why do I feel like he's a different person, I didn't see how powerful he is before."

"Father Wang also missed his eyes before."

……

After Xia Tian left the Mansion of the Sixth Prince, he asked Xiao Xuanzi to drive to Wanhualou.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of Wanhualou.

"My lord, we've arrived at Wanhualou."

Xia Tian came down from the horse, when a voice suddenly came from the ear.

"For heaven, earth, and fortune-telling, does the young master do any divination?"

Xie An and Xiao Xuanzi looked at that person vigilantly, fearing that it might be a killer again.

Xia Tian took a look at that person, it was an old man with a goatee, wearing coarse linen clothes and a pair of straw sandals on his feet.

In the previous life, he didn't believe in these at all, but now he believes a little bit.

If someone told him that there are gods in this world, he would believe it.

"How does the old man charge?"

"The old man doesn't charge any fees. If the calculation is correct, the young master only needs to invite the old monk to come in here to relax."

After speaking, he pointed to the gate of Wanhua Building.

……

The three of Xia Tian looked at him with strange expressions when they heard his words.

"Old man, can you do it with your body? Don't have any accidents."

"The old man's body is getting stronger, you don't have to worry, young master."

Xia Tian: "In that case, the old gentleman will show me."

He Yuanhua looked up at him, his bright eyes shone with light.

"Young master has a dignified face and a purple air like a dragon. His status must be extremely noble. If the old man reads correctly, you should be an emperor."

Xie An and Xiao Xuanzi's expressions changed slightly, this old gentleman really has some skills.

Xia Tian's smile remained unchanged: "The old gentleman continued."

As long as anyone who is interested in following him will know his identity, his words don't explain anything.

"Looking at the young master's face, it looks like a premature death, but for some reason, he escaped the catastrophe of certain death. Presumably, the young master must have experienced the change of life and death a few days ago."

When Xia Tian heard his words, his heart moved, this person really has some skills.

Chai An rebelled, if he hadn't come to this world, the original Xia Tian would definitely die.

He Yuanhua continued: "Heaven has the virtue of loving life, and there is a chance of life in everything, even if it is a sign of mortal death, there is also a chance of life. If you can escape this premature death, you must be a blessed person, and the future will be even greater." Unlimited."

Xia Tian: "Can the old man help me calculate the national fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"This kind of thing takes too much effort, and it can't be calculated in a short time. You should change it, young master."

"Forget it, today I will invite the old man to play in the Wanhua Building."

He Yuanhua had a wretched smile on his face when he heard the words: "The old man will thank you, my lord, please."

The four walked into the Wanhua Building.

Seeing him coming in, the old bustard hurried up to meet him: "Master Xia, you are here, sit down quickly."

Xia Tian: "This is my friend. I will pay for all his expenses today. You must take good care of my friend."

The old bustard looked at He Yuanhua, who was dressed in coarse linen and straw sandals, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

This is Mr. Xia's friend?

Chapter 38 Goodbye, Miss Mingyue

Why does this look like a charlatan?

Could it be that Mr. Xia was cheated by him?

A smile appeared on He Yuanhua's face, looking a bit wretched: "Madam, find the three most beautiful girls for this old man."

"puff"

Hearing his words, Xia Tian spit out the tea he just drank in his mouth.

three?

You have a big appetite, old fellow.

The bustard turned to look at Xia Tian.

Xia Tian nodded: "Come as my friend wants."

"Thank you son, I haven't touched meat for several months."

After speaking, he followed the bustard upstairs, and then suddenly reached out and patted the bustard's buttocks.

Xia Tian was dumbfounded, Niubi!

He got up and walked to the small courtyard of the plum blossom girl behind.

Seeing him coming, Liu Mei was full of joy: "Xia Lang, you are about to take the exam, you have to study hard, you don't need to visit me often."

"If I don't come to see you, my son is not in the mood to study."

Feeling his big hand, Liu Mei blushed, "Xia Lang, you hate me."

Xia Tian chuckled: "Time is precious, Meier, let's hurry up, my son will teach you a few new knowledge points today."

In the small courtyard of Miss Mingyue.

"Miss, Mr. Xia went to Miss Plum Blossom's courtyard."

Zhou Mingyue nodded lightly: "When Mr. Xia comes out, invite him over."

"Yes, ma'am."

at dusk.

Only then did Liumei's room become quiet, Qiao'er who was standing outside the door blushed, wishing she could find a crack in the floor and get in.

The lady was not like this before, why is it like this now.

"Qiaoer, go prepare dinner."
