While the paving of cement roads continues to progress, many new policies are also being implemented one by one. The first one to bear the brunt is the reform of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Pay tribute to the imperial palace and pay homage to the court early in the morning. The ministers were neatly arranged in elegant official uniforms. The old emperor, who was sitting on a high dragon chair, was solemn and solemn in his dragon robe, and his face was calm and majestic. The eunuch in charge followed the usual practice and read out in a spy's voice: "If there is something to do, we will start, and if there is nothing, we will leave."

Immediately afterwards, the ministers talked about the areas under their jurisdiction and made a series of reports and summaries to the emperor. The old emperor listened patiently and nodded from time to time, apparently very satisfied with the progress of their work.

Seeing that the affairs of the Gong Dynasty were already being discussed, the old emperor finally remembered what happened to Qin Mingluo. Asked: "The prince has been absent from the morning court in recent days. I wonder how he is doing outside?"

"Your Majesty, it is not easy for His Royal Highness to undertake the task of paving cement roads at such a young age. What's more, the Prince's planning is very orderly. He really has the demeanor of His Majesty back then!"

Soon, some ministers took advantage of the situation and flattered him. Although he was ridiculed by the emperor, it could be seen that the emperor was in a good mood.

When the time was almost up, Prime Minister Feng saw the right opportunity to plead for the people. "Your Majesty, I still have something to report."

Seeing Prime Minister Feng standing up, the old emperor felt quite strange. Although the old man, Prime Minister Feng, has real talents and practical skills, he is afraid of trouble. He usually likes to close his eyes and meditate in the morning. If he hadn't called him by name, he would definitely have watched until the end of the morning session. How could he take the initiative to resolve the matter like he did now?

Of course, the old emperor did not dare to neglect and said seriously: "Feng Aiqing, what do you have in mind?"

The things that Prime Minister Feng can take the initiative to report are most likely to be extraordinary events, and he must be extremely energetic.

"Your Majesty, everyone must have seen the matter of paving cement roads. The people are also very vocal about the matter of paving roads. In addition to His Highness the Crown Prince's efficient work and effective planning, cement is something that cannot be ignored. The origin of the road paving method.”

Everyone knows the origin of the cement road paving method. It is a product of another world. Moreover, it was the late former Crown Princess who organized the information through the light curtain and sold it to them. Even the light curtain only appeared after the death of the former Crown Princess.

This may be the reason why Fu Youyou often meets on live broadcasts. They all clearly believe that the Crown Princess is still alive and Fu Youyou is still the Crown Princess of the Tribute Dynasty. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The little girl in the live broadcast clearly told them through her behavior that she was indeed not from the tribute dynasty.

In the light curtain, she was using a proud tone to introduce her hometown where she had lived since childhood to everyone in the Gong Dynasty. Although she didn't say it clearly in words, her love for her hometown could be heard in her tone. Of course, what she loved was the place where life was convenient, abundant in materials, and the society was harmonious. Obviously, that place was not a tribute dynasty.

"My dear, what do you want to say?" The old emperor frowned. He looked at Prime Minister Feng thoughtfully, not understanding what Prime Minister Feng meant.

"Your Majesty, everyone has seen the results of the implementation of the cement road. After thinking about it, I found that there is indeed much for us to learn from the policies of another world displayed in the light curtain."

Originally, it was time for the next morning court. Prime Minister Feng was usually as silent as a dull gourd, but today he was uncharacteristically active. The other officials were naturally dissatisfied with Old Man Feng's eyes. Their legs were almost numb after standing for such a long time. They were calculating the time in their minds to prepare to go home and rest. Who knew he would have something to say again.

Prime Minister Feng ignored the glances from behind him and spoke his opinion in a leisurely manner.

"Our dynasty is mainly based on farming, and farmers are the foundation of our dynasty. They depend on the sky and are a type of people who look at God's face to eat. The lives of these people are not easy, but they have to report to the court regularly every year. Paying taxes such as the poll tax, and even having to turn over a fixed percentage of their harvest, these old policies are really inappropriate.”

After hearing what Prime Minister Feng said, both the ministers and the emperor, who were eager to go home, couldn't help but sit up straight. As the saying goes: "Those who are in their positions will seek their own policies!" They are all officials of the common people who are in the court. When it comes to matters related to people's lives, we naturally cannot be careless and must have the proper attitude.

Prime Minister Feng continued: "It would be good if the weather is good, but unfortunately God's mood is something we mortals can't guess. If there are floods, droughts, locusts and other disasters, there will be no harvest. The farmers will have no food and harvest, and naturally no income." , but the taxes paid on a per capita basis are not less. This is a sure way of driving the farmers to death!"

His views caused a lot of discussion among the ministers in the imperial court. Although it was impossible for so many people to agree on everything, they were finally recognized by most people.

"So, Prime Minister Feng, do you want me to exempt them from taxes?" The old emperor's expression showed no emotion or anger, but his eyes were solemn, as if he was carefully thinking about the feasibility of this policy. .

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Feng shook his head, which confused everyone. Maybe they had misunderstood just now.

I saw that Prime Minister Feng ignored the uproar caused by the court ministers and said in an extremely firm tone without haste: "It is not to exempt them from taxes, but to completely abolish the backward poll tax and other exorbitant tax systems of the tribute dynasty, and follow the example of advanced countries. The tax and subsidy policies are based on unified income levels."

As soon as these words came out, everyone started talking. This is to reform the long-standing ancestral system and implement a brand new system, which is evident from the impending resistance to the implementation of its policy.

Who knows, Prime Minister Feng has not finished speaking: "Not only that, for farmers whose income is extremely low and cannot sustain their lives, the imperial court will also provide subsidies to ensure their basic livelihood."

"My dear, do you know what you are talking about?"

The old emperor looked at him with a sophistical look. Prime Minister Feng was not afraid at all. There was no way he could shrink from asking for life for the people.

"I know!" Prime Minister Feng said: "The imperial court hopes that the population will be prosperous and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Unfortunately, having more children means more poll taxes. Even if the people have money to pay taxes, it will not be enough to maintain a basic life. "

"If the people can't even maintain their basic life, then medical treatment and other consumption will naturally be whimsical. If they don't have money for medical treatment, they can only wait for death. In my opinion, only by ensuring the people's basic life can they have more energy to go to work. Only by farming can we have enough men to join the army and defend the country."

The old emperor looked at Prime Minister Feng for a long time, and the low air pressure surrounding him made those officials breathless.

"Hahahahahaha——Ai Qing said it well, it coincides with my thoughts, so I will reward you!"

After a long time, the old emperor sitting in the high position suddenly laughed out loud. It seemed that he accepted Prime Minister Feng's proposal well. As an emperor, he is naturally a man of foresight and will not embarrass Prime Minister Feng, his right-hand man.

Prime Minister Feng saluted and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
