What Xia Jingyan handed over to Xia Jingyan was not only the business of the Royal Bank, but also high-profit industries such as salt and iron. These will become the industries of the Royal Chamber of Commerce and belong to the imperial court.
It is equivalent to the state-owned enterprises in his world.
Xia Jingyan is currently the chief person in charge, and she needs to be responsible for all kinds of things.
Fortunately, she has a certain foundation. She can recruit personnel from her original firm, or recruit externally with the reputation of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
I believe that there will be many people willing to join the Royal Chamber of Commerce, because this is the royal signature.
Working here can be said to be doing business for the royal family.
In this feudal society, it is the dream of countless people to work for the royal family.
At dusk, Xia Tian left Princess Jingle's mansion.
The palace, the imperial study.
"Little Xuanzi, send someone to send some tonics and hundred coins to Commander Xie."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"This imperial decree is sent to the left and right Qinglongwei army. This is an imperial decree to increase their salaries."
Xiao Xuanzi walked out with the imperial decree.
Xia Tian sat on a chair and thought about the tax reform.
Tomorrow morning he will announce this matter, there will be many people who will object.
In addition to the tax reform, there is also a business protection law to be introduced. If you want business to prosper, you have to formulate relevant business laws to protect the business operations of the dynasty.
At the same time, it also cracks down on those businessmen who compete unfairly and violate commercial laws, and create a good business environment.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to go there."
The voice of the little eunuch sounded outside the imperial study.
"Understood, I'll go there now."
Xia Tian tidied up and walked out of the Imperial Study Room, walking towards the Palace of Compassion.
Mercy Palace.
Chai Jing was chatting with Xia Linger, waiting for him to come.
"Queen, Ling'er."
"Brother Huang."
"Tian'er is here, sit down, the queen mother has something to tell you."
Xia Tian asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
"The queen mother chose a concubine for you."
A smile appeared on Xia Tian's face: "Which family's girl is it?"
"She is the daughter of Duke Zhou, gentle and kind, beautiful and virtuous."
The queen mother is so kind, she found me another concubine.
Xia Ling'er said with a playful smile: "Brother Huang, I have met Miss Zhou, she is indeed very beautiful, gentle and kind, with a nice voice, she is the dream lover of many princes and wits in the capital."
The voice of speaking is nice, but the voice of barking must be more moving.
cough cough.
"Thank you, my queen, my mother is so kind."
Chai Jing had a loving face on her face: "You are the son of Daxia now. While you are busy with government affairs, you must also be diligent in the harem. If you can give birth to an heir, you will have the face to face your ancestors after your mother dies."
"Mother, you will not die, and the child will make you immortal."
Chai Jing smiled slightly: "There is no such thing as immortality."
Xia Tian said confidently: "Some mothers and children will be able to do it in the future."
"Brother Huang, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"what's up?"
"I also want to help sister Jingyan, is it possible?"
"Yes, but when you get there, you have to listen to your sister Jingyan and study hard with her."
"Thank you, Brother Huang, I will definitely listen to Sister Jingyan."
Dinner is used in the Compassion Palace in summer.
After dinner, he returned to the Great Summer Palace.
"Little Xuanzi, let Ran'er and Fei'er come over to serve the bed."
Thinking of these two little beauties, Xia Tian felt a little distracted.
Because they were born as court ladies, they are more open than the ladies in some aspects.
For example, two people serve him to bed together.
If it were Shangguan Qingxue, it might be difficult to do it.
Soon Ran'er and Fei'er came, and the immature faces of the two little beauties showed a slightly mature charm.
After all, I have experienced many times of sex in bed.
The two skillfully helped him change his clothes, and then went to the bath in the side hall.
The three of them had fun in the water, happy like gods.
Half an hour later, the three of them came out of the bath and returned to the bed in the bedroom.
……
Early the next morning, Xia Tian woke up habitually.
At this moment, Xiao Xuanzi hadn't called him to get up.
[Random daily missions open, one-hour sign-in at Concubine Shu's Palace, reward 2000 repair points]
Concubine Shu palace sign in for an hour?
Now Concubine Shu Palace lives in the concubine of his father, who is mature, sexy, beautiful and alluring.
Ran'er and Fei'er were on either side of him, resting on his arms.
The two little beauties were still sleeping soundly, and they tossed very late last night.
Even the two of them couldn't bear Xia Tian's attack.
"Your Majesty, it's time to wake up."
Xiao Xuanzi's voice sounded from outside the door, and Ran'er and Fei'er were awakened.
Seeing that Xia Tian had woken up, the two women got up and were about to get dressed.
"You guys have a good rest, you don't need to get up, I can just dress myself."
Ran'er: "That's okay, if word gets out, both Ran'er and Fei'er will probably be punished."
Xia Tian patted her buttocks: "Without my order, who would dare to punish you."
Ran'er snuggled into his arms, like a clingy kitten: "We all remember His Majesty's love for us, but we must not lose our manners."
In the end, the two women still got up and waited for him to change clothes, and they served him meticulously.
Breakfast for three people.
After breakfast, Xia Tian went to court, and Ran'er and Fei'er returned to their respective bedrooms.
Azure Dragon Hall.
There are many officials who came to court today, dozens more than usual.
The court hall was very quiet, revealing an unusual meaning.
When Xia Tian came to Azure Dragon Hall, he also discovered an abnormality.
He knew about the tax reform and these people should have gotten the news.
After all, this is not a secret, even if it is a secret, I am afraid that it cannot be hidden from the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Meet Your Majesty."
"Everyone loves to be flat."
Looking at the crowd below, Xia Tian smiled and said: "There are more people coming to court today than usual, and some old princes are also here."
The old princes bowed and saluted without saying anything.
Xia Tian glanced at everyone, knowing what they were waiting for.
"I have a few things to announce today, and it happens that several old princes are here, so I can refer to them."
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Xuanzi.
Xiao Xuanzi took out an imperial decree and read it directly. The general meaning of the imperial decree was to exempt all kinds of land and population taxes.
"Nowadays the people are heavily taxed, and I will be a great treasure for the benefit of the people of the world. I will deduct all kinds of miscellaneous taxes and reduce the burden of the people. What do you think?"
A minister came out: "Your Majesty, most of the court's taxes come from land and population taxes. Now that so many taxes are exempted at once, the court may not be able to make ends meet."
Chapter 52
Another minister came out and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, taxation is the foundation of the imperial court, and it cannot be easily shaken. If the imperial court cannot make ends meet, I am afraid that it will shake the entire dynasty. At that time, it will be ordinary people who will suffer."
Xia Tian smiled lightly: "The two lovers are right. Taxation is the foundation of the imperial court. However, ordinary people are already living in poverty, so heavy taxes should not be extracted from them."
"I decided to increase the commercial tax to stabilize the court's tax revenue."
As soon as this remark came out, the court was in an uproar, and most people didn't know the news.
Raise business taxes?
No wonder so many old dukes and nobles came here today, they probably came here for this matter.
Some people were silent, but some people couldn't help but stand up.
"Your Majesty, no, increasing the commercial tax is not conducive to the development of the dynasty's business. If the business cannot be developed and the agricultural tax is reduced, where will the dynasty's tax come from?"
Xia Tian: "I have had people revise the business laws of the Great Xia, specifically targeting the development of the dynasty's business, with the intention of promoting the vigorous development of the dynasty's business."
"Your Majesty thinks it is still not possible, the risk is too great, and the dynasty is in danger of being overthrown if it is a little careless."
Xia Tian looked at the others: "What do you love ladies think?"
"I agree with Your Majesty's tax reform."
Shangguan Chengye spoke first.
Now his granddaughter is the noble concubine of Xia Tian, and he is already on the same front as Xia Tian.
Of course, if Xia Tian's decision is wrong, he will not stand on Xia Tian's side.
After Shangguan Chengye spoke, Zhai Xing'an, Minister of Officials, and Lu Xiangfei, Minister of Rites, also agreed with each other, and at the same time, a group of subordinate officials agreed.
The Sixteenth Prince and all the princes and nobles also agreed.
But these people only accounted for one-fifth of the court, and most of them did not express their views.
"Your Majesty, I think the tax reform is too risky, please think twice."
Yingjie, the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, objected.
As he objected, others followed suit.
Xia Tian quietly sat on the dragon chair and looked at the people below: "Is there any objection?"
Most of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were opposed to the tax reform, and a small number of them did not express their views.
"I'm not here to discuss with you today. Tax reform is imperative. Anyone who violates the law, no matter who it is, will be killed without mercy."
"Is there any objection now?"
Yingjie, Shangshu Shang of the Ministry of Criminal Justice: "Your Majesty, please think again. Taxation reform is related to the foundation of the court. It is a taboo to change it easily."
Xia Tian's face was calm, and his tone was light: "Come here, drag Shang Yingjie out and behead him, confiscating his property."
