Chapter 449 450 Live like an emperor than an emperor

Zhou Jia learned that Li Yu had found new grain seeds, and was busy going back to Wangjiaao to plant them. He smiled and shook his head. The daughter-in-law has new seeds and even the husband's son doesn't want it.

"You go back first, I'll go home and change clothes before going to Wenshangshu's house for a banquet."

"Yes, sir." Jixiang withdrew.

Zhou Jia turned around and walked back. After returning, he approved the remaining official documents. When he went out, he saw Maodou waiting outside with a smile, and said to him with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go back too."

Maodou nodded and followed Zhou Jia into the car. After returning home, he said to Zhou Jia with a smile: "Master, I heard from Master Wang and Master Xu that Shilang Ren won't go to the banquet tonight, and that Shilang Ren said he had a bad stomach. ,

Mr. Xu said, "You don't know, Pharaoh, but Shilang Ren is still picking his peaches in the office book. With his temperament, tsk, he is also lucky and has a powerful husband. How dare we go against Shangguan."

Master, Mr. Ren is too stingy! How much is a few peaches worth? "

Zhou Jia watched Maodou imitate Master Xu's usual moustache, and laughed, "You don't understand, this peach is different from that peach, where did you guy hear them talking? ."

Edamame blinked, "In the rockery cave in the garden, it's cool, and it's just right for me to sit there. They also said that I have ear blessings tonight. The singer raised by Wen Shangshu's family is a must, and it's very tempting."

Zhou Jia smiled and patted him, "You little thing, go and eat."

Zhou Jia went back to take a bath and changed his clothes. Thinking of having a drink, he went to the dining room to eat a bowl of rice. He smiled and said to Yang Yang, "Son, you are at home, father went out to dinner."

"Okay, you go early and come back early." Yang Yang smiled and waved at Zhou Jia.

Looking at his son's appearance, Zhou Jia nodded with a smile. When he went out, he saw that the sky had already darkened, and the banquet of Wen Shangshu's family was about to start.

Zhou Jia sorted it out, went out and got into the car, Jixiang handed him the hangover pill, and was about to go to the Shangshu Mansion, when Jixiang suddenly saw Shen Zhong riding towards this side.

Jixiang turned to Zhou Jia and said, "Master, General Shen is here."

Zhou Jia opened the curtains of the car and saw that Shen Zhong had come to the side of the car, he asked with a smile, "Where is General Shen going?"

"Going to your house! Fortunately, I didn't miss it," Shen Zhong jumped on the horse and cupped his hands with a smile, "Master Zhou, Master wants to see you."

Zhou Jia was stunned after hearing this, and understood who the master was in Shen Zhong's mouth, "General Shen, please lead the way."

Shen Zhong turned his horse's head and walked forward, Jixiang followed with the carriage.

Shen Zhong took auspiciousness to Zuixianlou in front. Zhou Jia got off the car and followed Shen Zhong to the back of the lobby. Walking on the corridor, Zhou Jia felt that there were people hiding in the dark around him.

went to the backyard and went to a door, Shen Zhong smiled and cupped his hands, "Master Zhou, here we are."

"Thank you." Zhou Jia thanked him for his offering, knocked on the door, and then pushed in. After entering, he saw Tang Nan, the doctor of the Censor's Department.

Tang Nan smiled when he saw Zhou Jia stunned for a moment.

Zhou Jia stepped forward and bowed in salute, "Xiaguan has seen Master Tang."

"Jiahe doesn't need to be too polite." Tang Nan smiled kindly, "Sit down."

Before the two of them were seated, they heard footsteps approaching the door. It turned out that Chu Yuhao had arrived.

The two went forward to pray and meet, Chu Yuhao smiled kindly and said to the two, "Sit down and talk, you don't have to be polite."

The two sat down after thanking them, Chu Yuhao smiled and said to Zhou Jia, "I'm delaying Lord Zhou to accompany Madam."

Zhou Jia had a helpless expression, "Your Majesty, as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, my wife left the minister and the children and went back to Wangjia'ao, saying that he was still living comfortably in the country, and the minister was going to attend the dinner party of Wen Shangshu's family. As soon as I got in the car, General Shen came."

Chu Yuhao smiled and said, "I didn't expect that after so many years, Madam Huguo is still just as casual and free."

Tang Nan was a little surprised. Hearing His Majesty's tone, he seemed to know Mr. Zhou and his wife very well, and was very familiar with them.

After the monarch and minister chatted for a while, Chu Yuhao said to the two of them, "You are all my confidants, I asked you to come here because I wanted to tell you that I thought of a way to increase tax revenue, and I originally wanted you to enter the palace to discuss it. , I also wanted to come out for a walk, so I called you here."

The two quickly got up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

Chu Yuhao waved his hand to let the two sit down, and continued: "I want to let go of tea and brewing, let those tea workers, wineries and other additional workshops, and private workshops participate in the operation, and then impose heavy taxes on these merchants, both can Increase tax revenue, fill the treasury, and reduce the number of worms."

After hearing this, Zhou Jia found that Chu Yuhao and Li Yu wanted to go together, and thought that Li Yu thought more comprehensively, thinking that since His Majesty has already thought about it, he will save himself from tangled.

Tang Nan asked, "What does Your Majesty want the minister to do?"

"Someone will bring it up early tomorrow morning, I want you to lead the censor early tomorrow morning and impeach those people I handed over to you."

Tang Nan bowed and replied: "It's Your Majesty, I'm afraid they will obstruct."

Chu Yuhao looked at Tang Nan, and his eyebrows showed a sharp edge, "Those scumbags who dare to obstruct me, I will make him regret it."

After hearing this, Zhou Jia and Tang Nan looked at Chu Yuhao with bright eyes, they knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty is wise and martial, it is the blessing of the people."

Chu Yuhao looked at Zhou Jia and said, "You have sorted out the income and expenditure of the tea and wine officials that I asked you to investigate over the years. I want those silverfish to be speechless."

Zhou Jia bowed and said: "Your Majesty, tea, wine, and silk were originally made by the people, but after the imperial court controlled the franchise, they added four links: collection, transportation, and sales.

Judging from the records found by the minister, the control achieved good results in the early stage, and the treasury was quickly filled. Up to now, it has not only increased the tax revenue for the treasury, but also increased the expenditure.

After the opening of the imperial court, the production, collection, transportation, and sales of these links were omitted, and the imperial court was able to save a considerable amount of expenses. "

Chu Yuhao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said with a smile, "Yes, there is also silk, let go of the silk, and a heavy tax will be imposed."

Tang Nan also suggested: "Your Majesty, the imperial court will open up trade routes such as brewing and tea, and those craftsmen, tea officials, wine officials, and silk officials will be abolished. There are quite a lot of these departments across the country. Officials and petty officials must work out corresponding resettlement measures and measures to deal with the forces behind them, and the forces behind them cannot be ignored.”

Chu Yuhao showed the look that he was planning for a long time, "I have ordered people to prepare corresponding countermeasures, and I have also found evidence of their corruption."

When Chu Yuhao thought of the moths he saw, the corrupt gold and silver treasures, and the extravagance of life, he was so angry that he saw the worms found by the secret guard. The treasures of gold and silver are more abundant than the Dayong treasury, and there are countless rare treasures, which are breathtaking."
