Resting for a night in his special room, Zhao Sheng woke up very early the next day.The profession of emperor is still very good for people to develop the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.Because there are big and small pilgrimage every morning, and people will invite you three times and four times when you go to bed late at night.

It is in this dynasty that the person who sleeps late and sleeps too much can annoy you to death.

"Official, where is the breakfast?"

"Put it in the lobby."

"promise."

Because it was still early, there were not many people in the lobby, and there were very few people passing by.Zhao Sheng knew at a glance that they were all businessmen.The playboys living here didn't get up at this time.

"Boss Wei, how many shops on Liuli Street are you going to buy this time?"

"Hey, I have a lot of working capital now. The location of Liuli Street is so good. I'm afraid the shops are very expensive. I'm afraid I'll miss it this time. But Boss Liu heard that he made a lot of money before. I'm afraid he's going to take it this time. not enough."

"Hehe, I'm also lucky. Shipping things by sea is too risky. It's good luck to come back this time. Everyone knows what will happen afterwards."

"Does it mean that the official Royal Shipyard has launched a treasure ship? How about that ship?" Boss Wei is also enthusiastic about the profits of shipping.But as Boss Liu said, the risk of shipping is too great, and it is very likely that a wave will go bankrupt.

"That ship is naturally a good ship..." Boss Liu swallowed as he thought of the treasure ships made by the royal family he had seen.Ashamed of being an official product, the possibility of such a ship returning safely will be greatly increased.

"Then how will Boss Liu order a few ships?"

"Hey, I think so too, but we used to be small businessmen, now it's our turn anyway." The interests of business are there, who is tempted.Before, it was because of the high risk.Now that there is a safer ship, everyone who is powerful naturally wants to try it.

However, there are Royal Shipyards that can build ships of this size, and if you want to buy one, you can make an appointment. Naturally, high-ranking officials and sea merchants can be ranked first.Those who are more than their upper feet than their lower feet naturally have to lean back.

It is said that the appointment of the ship at the Royal Dockyard has been scheduled for two years.

"That's true." Boss Wei is also a newcomer who knows everything, and he is also clear about the rules in this mall.They can also drink soup in this status.

Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows. He also knew about the Royal Shipyard, and he was the one who gave the design drawings of the treasure ship.The maritime trade in the Song Dynasty was developed, and Zhao Sheng wanted to increase the commercial tax, so he naturally supported this item.In order to make the range of sea trade farther and the safety factor higher, good ships are indispensable.

Zhao Sheng lacked this thing, so he built a shipyard.

Business is booming as he thought.

During the year-end summary meeting before, the person in charge of the shipyard was still thinking about building another branch.

Zhao Sheng is naturally meaningless, he has delegated authority in business affairs now, and of course they would dare to fool him with the secret agent around.The reform of the military system is also progressing relatively smoothly. The reform of land taxation can be carried out after the army returns.

The land of the Song Dynasty gradually grew larger, and this place has also been a land of prosperity since ancient times, because of years of wars, it has been barren.After retaking the land, Song Dynasty naturally wanted to send officials to this place, but it made the issue of redundant officials get a link.

Zhao Sheng knew that this was a temporary solution, and the officials of the Song Dynasty had many backgrounds.The imperial examination is one of them.It is also a big part of the shadow of the nephew of the official.

Zhao Sheng has already started to reduce the number of places in the imperial examinations every year, Meng Yin's conditions will become harsher, and the annual assessment of officials will be much stricter.Clean up all the right ones.

The second and third phases of Qilin City's construction were in full swing, and Chu Ren did not disappoint him. Although the family was very happy, the bottom line that should be adhered to was very good.

Zhao Sheng naturally defended his shortcomings, he was caressing about the Chu family, but the Chu family must have someone in the court to develop to the current level.He just wanted to send someone to investigate, and soon the Chu family's backing fell, and then sent someone to the Chu family to warn, no one would dare to trouble Chu Ren and his parents again.

Chu Ren is naturally more loyal. The development of Qilin City is so good, except for the official Zhao Sheng, it is also thanks to Chu Ren's means.

Coming from Qilin City, Zhao Sheng went to Zhongmou under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion.Zhongmu County can be regarded as a relatively large county seat, backed by Bianliang, because the development of Qilin City on the edge of Bianliang in recent years has also benefited Zhongmu County.

Living in Yuelai Restaurant in Zhongmou County, Zhao Sheng started his investigation.Now is the time to collect the summer tax. Zhongmu County has few fertile fields, and the tax revenue has always been ranked among the top of more than a dozen counties.

In the past few years, it can be said that the weather has been smooth, and it stands to reason that even if the agricultural tax increases, it will decrease.However, the agricultural tax in Zhongmou County has been decreasing in recent years.Because of the increase in commercial tax, the center didn't care if the agricultural tax was a little less, but Zhao Sheng was very concerned.

Moreover, the report from Zhongmu County said that many young and middle-aged people in the county have worked in Bianliang to earn money, and it is inevitable that the crops in the field will be taken care of with all their heart, and it is normal to reduce production.

If it's because of the common people, then forget it, but Zhao Sheng always feels that this matter is not that simple.He came here on purpose this time.

Of course, he can also use the secret agent to investigate the case, but many things still need to come and see by himself.Of course, the fact that his mother in the palace wanted him to choose a concubine because the queen was pregnant was also one of the reasons.

Zhao Sheng valued women, and his family had the throne to inherit, so there was nothing to do. In order to stabilize the world, he needed a prince.But he really needs a bunch of women.It's troublesome to raise money.

But the people around him think so, they all think that the 72 concubines of the Sixth Court of Sangong are the standard match for a king.The ministers who used to say that his father was obsessed with women are now urging him to recruit more concubines to spread branches and leaves for the royal family.

It's very annoying, God is annoying!

Zhao Sheng likes to discuss his private life in court meetings, and also likes to be stared at by so many people.But he also knew that it was possible, the emperor said that he was high above, above tens of thousands of people.But if you are a foolish and tyrant, your life is as free as a rich man.

As long as he has a brother, he is willing to deliver this important task.As long as the future of the country is tragic, he will be an emperor who will rule in peace.

But no but.

He has the next life, the next life, but the people in this world are so innocent.

Hey, it's a life of hard work, I hope I will be the emperor again in my next life.

Zhao Sheng was thinking in a mess, while observing the excitement in the open space on the other side of the county government office.

The taxes in the Song Dynasty were complicated, and even Zhao Sheng remembered them all.Although the treasury is short of money now, the center has reduced and exempted a lot of miscellaneous taxes.But Zhao Sheng knew what was going on down there.

Zhao Sheng looked at some people carrying burdens, some pushing carts, and looking at the government servants who were drinking five and six, and felt helpless for the quality of this official.

In the feudal society, it was popular for officials to go to the countryside.The official Xu was the one the common people had the most contact with, and Zhao Sheng knew who he was.

Most of the officials and servants in the world are like this. Under the rule of Kaifeng, Prime Minister Zhongmu can also be said to be under the foot of the emperor. The quality of the officials and servants here is probably the highest.You can imagine what it's like elsewhere.

Zhao Chengqi also thought that the low-level officials and servants could make a clear election.Let the common people choose by themselves, although there will be troubles, but it will always be worse than now.

It is such a thing that he is still doing now. The wisdom of the people has not yet been enlightened. No matter how good the policy is, it will be a castle in the air in the end.

But he was anxious, he was still young, the frontier was stable, and the national power was gradually becoming stronger, so he ate hot tofu impatiently.

But he was still depressed when he saw a middle-aged farmer carrying rice just put down his burden, and the little official beside him rushed over and kicked the basket.

"Did I say that there will be such behavior again!" Zhao Sheng encountered such behavior during his first palace inspection, and he was also very angry at that time, and then Cao Hua told him that this is the rule.

Zhao Sheng watched the little official put away the wheat that fell to the ground because of that kick.Look at the distress in that middle-aged man.I feel that tax reform is probably too late.

There is also the development of the south. Zhao Sheng's development of the south was carried out in his own name before.It is because several ministers in the cabinet are extremely cautious.As soon as the fighting on the frontier ceased, they dared to make a big move.

What can Zhao Sheng do? He can still beat people down for his own self-interest, but the chief executives are all for the whole country.He is a tyrant again, and he can compromise in the end.

"Officials, it's hard to stop such a thing." Cao Hua said in a low voice.

He knew that his master was capable and successful, but even an official might put an end to something.

Zhao Sheng: ...

If this was his first time traveling, he might feel negative seeing such a situation.Fortunately, he has seen a lot, and everyone is basically a high-ranking and dignified person.There are not many things to know about the people at the bottom.

"I know, Zhongmou County is still under the rule of Kaifeng, and the situation is probably more serious in other places."

"His Majesty."

"It must be so. I feel good, but it hasn't reached that level. It seems that Mengxue has to hurry up. There will be fewer things like people becoming stronger by themselves."

"Yes."

"You send someone to inquire about the land tax in Zhongmou County. I want to see how deep the water is here."

"Yes."

Cao Hua took the order.

In the past few years, because of the war between the two countries, the Secret Service Division has focused on the enemy's border.Even in China, most of them focus on the more important routes of the center.Several county towns under the rule of Kaifeng became dark under the lights.
