This seems to be a good thing on the surface, but who in the court really paid the land tax in accordance with the regulations? Who did not conceal the amount of land in the family, and who did not falsely report the quality of the land? Those extra taxes, It was all made up from other places, but they never paid it.

Wang Qi doesn't know how much extra coins they have to pay each year, and the greed that was cultivated earlier has not allowed them to let go of the profits they have already acquired so easily.

"Your Highness, this is a serious matter. If taxes are reduced by [-]%, the national treasury may not be able to make ends meet. You need to think twice." As soon as Lord Qi stood up and spoke, the remaining half of the people immediately echoed.

"Your Highness, Yuanting has just pulled half of the national treasury away, and now it is empty, so we can't cut taxes."

"Nowadays the weather is good and the harvest is good, but there is no such thing as tax cuts in good years."

"Your Highness, now that the national treasury is empty and it is a good year, we should increase taxes to prepare for next year's unforeseen event."

All kinds of reasons came out of the mouths of those ministers, reasonable or unreasonable, and the words were mournful, all in order to make Wang Qi change his mind.

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind. I've been thinking about this tax cut for a long time. When the king ascended the throne, he exempted the tax for three years and gave amnesty to the world. Is there any problem with cutting a little tax?" Wang Qi straightened her back and refuted one by one. In the end, it was passed to Zhou Qing to come when he was in court.

In the private school of Zhou family, Zhou Qing was teaching the children new words when suddenly a group of guards on tall horses came outside the door, the leader was Yishou from Wangcheng.

"Where is Zhou Qing?" Mr. Zhou heard someone calling his name loudly. Everyone in the west of the city knew him and knew that this was a private school for children. No one had ever made a loud noise around here.

There are almost all school-age children in the west of the city, and there will be more children in the future. Those residents in the west of the city respect this Mr. Zhou very much.

Zhou Qing pushed open the door, and saw many people surrounded outside, "I don't know which one is called my name, what is it?"

"His Royal Highness ordered to declare Zhou Qing to enter the palace." The man got off his horse, and the crowd automatically made way for Zhou Qing and him to stand face to face.

"Entering the palace? My lord, did you find the wrong person?" Zhou Qing didn't remember that he had any involvement with people in the court, let alone entering the palace to meet that Highness?

"This is the only private school in the west of the city. Could it be that there is another teacher named Zhou Qing here?" The visitor seemed impatient and walked up to Zhou Qing, "Hurry up and change your clothes and tidy up." , Your Highness wants to meet you, it is your honor."

Although Zhou Qing couldn't figure out the situation, he could still understand what the official said, so he could only go back to appease the students, let them go home by themselves, then packed up their things as quickly as possible and followed them to the palace.

In Huiqing Hall, Wang Qi was talking about him with Park Seung-ki.

"Then Mr. Zhou, is that the person your sister is looking for?" In front of Wang Qi was a copy, which listed Zhou Qing's life in detail.

This was submitted to Wang Qi's desk by Park Seung-ji after investigation.

"Your Highness, those ministers will definitely not stop here. Although Zhou Qing has some abilities, I feel that he may not be able to take on this important task." Park Shengji is very optimistic about Zhou Qing, but thinking of his background, he cannot help but feel a little suspicious.

"With regard to taxation, Gu will never let it go. Those ministers are monopolizing the fertile land, and the common people are almost dying." Wang Qi used to go out of the palace for private visits and saw the sufferings of the world.

"But Zhou Qing didn't have any background at that time. Is it really okay to ask him to be responsible for measuring the fields?" Park Shengji is very optimistic about this sister-in-law, and he wants His Highness to reuse him by presenting his information this time, but The matter of measuring the land is really too important.

"Shengji, don't worry, that's your favorite sister-in-law, that is, Gu's sister-in-law, Gu will naturally not watch him fall into a desperate situation." Wang Qi stretched out her hand and patted Park Seung-ki's shoulder to signal him to relax, " Lone Freedom's ingenious plan, now we'll see if Zhou Qing is worth it."

"It's the minister who made a slip of the tongue, and please make amends, Your Highness." Pu Shengji knelt down beside Wang Qi, but put his hands on Wang Qi's waist and moved disobediently.

Early this morning, Wang Qi ordered someone to look for Zhou Qing. Counting the time, he would not enter the palace until after lunch, so the time between the two of them was still very long.

Wang Qi was only free to meet Zhou Qing in the afternoon. He never showed a good face to Park Seung-ji who was following behind him, and he would reach out and rub his shoulders and back from time to time where no one noticed.

He was really a young and strong guy, but he had to admit that he was a bit old as an adult.

"Grassman, see Your Highness." Zhou Qing didn't dare to lift his head when he entered the hall, and knelt down on the ground according to the way the little servant taught him before.

This was the first time Wang Qi saw Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing was wearing his best clothes, a new robe made only during the Chinese New Year. His head was firmly pressed against the ground, which did not violate the rules of the palace at all.

"You must be Zhou Qing." Wang Qi sat behind the desk, looking at the stiff person in front of him, "Get up and sit down."

Park Seung-ji looked left and right, and all the servants were pushed back by Wang Qi before Zhou Qing came in, which obviously meant to ask him to move the chair.

Thinking of the reason why His Highness was not in a good mood today, Park Seung-ki happily did what the servant should do.

Wang Qi originally wanted to torment Park Seung-ki to relieve his anger, and he felt a little relaxed when he resigned to his fate to move the chair, but who knew that he could see the happy expression on Park Seung-ki's face when he turned his head.

Not only did he not mind, but he was very happy about it!

"Serve tea." Wang Qi squeezed the handle of the chair and continued to order.

Park Seung Gi did the same again.

Zhou Qing took the teacup from Park Seung-ji with a flattered expression on his face, "Boss Park, thank you very much."

"You don't need to be too polite, Mr. Zhou has a bright future, and I'm just a bodyguard, so I should!" Park Seung-ki said and returned to Wang Qi's side.

Zhou Qing silently wiped the cold sweat off his brow. Who doesn't know that Director Pu of Jianlongwei is His Highness's confidant, and if he really believed his words "just a bodyguard", he might not be far from death.

"Okay, Zhou Qing, do you know why Gu asked you here?" Wang Qi originally wanted to torment Park Seung-ki, but seeing Park Seung-ki doing these "little things" for others, the person who really minded was himself .

"Return to Your Highness, Cao Min doesn't know." Zhou Qing really doesn't know, his wish in this life is to carry forward his private school, teach the children to be successful, marry a docile wife and have two lovely children.

Zhou Qing never thought of getting involved with the imperial court.

"Then do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing?" Wang Qi asked him.

Zhou Qing looked calm, but his palms were already wet, "Caomin still doesn't know."

Chapter 41 Restructuring

"Since you don't know, let me tell you that I have something good to tell you about letting you enter the palace this time." Wang Qi naturally noticed Zhou Qing's nervousness, and made a mental note of Zhou Qing's performance. Too bad evaluation, Wang Qi finally started to talk about business.

As for why Zhou Qing was put under some pressure before, it was naturally to observe him well.Who is in charge of measuring the land this time does not make much difference to Wang Qi, and he has already prepared for the worst.

But Zhou Qing is different, this person is still Park Seung-gi's prospective sister-in-law, if he doesn't take this rare opportunity to observe carefully, he won't be at ease.

Although I only met Park Ji Hyo once, but I often hear Park Seung Gi talk about how cute his sister is, and Wang Qi will naturally like it.

It's just a pity that he can't give Park Ji Hyo the status of a princess, but he can still consider the matter of his son-in-law.

"Only according to His Highness's orders." Zhou Qing got up from the chair and knelt down again, feeling helpless, he didn't want to be an official in the court, and his family turned into what it is today because his grandfather offended him.
