Chapter 2883 For the Sake of Money, Reconciled
Bai Yixiu's mouth was dry, and when he saw the tea on the table, he picked it up and took a sip.
The Emperor Taishang and the emperor listened carefully and thought about it.
After Bai Yixiu finished drinking, he continued: "Third, the land acquisition is very serious, the people are displaced too much, and many people can only sell themselves as slaves. There is no house or property in the name of the slaves, and there is no need to pay the tax. The big families have houses and properties. However, most of them are slaves and do not need to pay, and the number of hidden fields is also increasing. If the weather is good, it will be better, but once a disaster occurs, it cannot be rescued in time, and rebellions emerge one after another, shaking the country.
In the end, the Emperor Taishang was kind to the courtiers, but when the famine occurred this year, the Emperor was so anxious that his eyebrows were burning, but many officials who owed money to the treasury and did not pay back the money were very honorable and rich, and they were not impatient or impatient. urgently.
These four points are all things that Wei Chen can think of and are willing to change. If the Emperor Taishang felt that what Wei Chen said was wrong, or if these four points were not a cause for concern, he would just chop off Wei Chen's head. "
Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, the emperor couldn't sit still any longer. He ran in front of the Emperor Taishang, took the two sheets of paper from the Emperor Taishang, and looked at them at a glance.
The emperor's eyes are red, the treasury is empty, these honorable courtiers have a lot of wealth, he is going crazy, and the queen also takes the lead in reducing the harem congestion, "Lin Aiqing, can you accomplish these four things?"
Bai Yixiu looked at the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor, and said, "We can't guarantee it, after all, I don't know when my head will be gone, who can see what will happen in the future!"
The Supreme Emperor was so angry that he pointed his finger at Lin Ruhai, "Your stubborn temper is exactly the same as your father, do you really think I can't chop off your head?"
The emperor was in a hurry. He was really afraid that his somewhat confused father, the emperor, would chop off Lin Ruhai's head. He still wanted to get 20 million taels of tax from Lin Ruhai!
"Father's anger, father's anger." The emperor said quickly, "It's all for the sake of the great Zhou, Jiangshan, society, Lin Aiqing, even if you are talented, you can't be arrogant, so please apologize to the father!"
Bai Yixiu bowed and saluted, "Please make atonement for the emperor, Wei Chen is disrespectful."
When the Emperor Taishang saw the emperor interceding, Lin Ruhai softened his attitude, and also borrowed the donkey to get off the slope and said, "You said these things. If you can't finish it, you will be cut off."
Bai Yixiu replied respectfully: "Return to the emperor, the ministers will do their best. If these four things can be completed, there will be a grand scene of Jing'an governance. At that time, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be no waste on the road, and the country will be prosperous."
When the Emperor Taishang heard the rule of "Jing An", his whole body was shocked. "Jing" refers to him, Zhou Jingdi, and "An" represents the current Zhou An emperor.
The emperor was also very excited, "Father, if you are worried that your son will be able to manage the country well, then the son invites you to go to court together, and put all the memorials on your side for approval, and there will be no internal disputes between us father and son! Let's work together for the rule of Jing'an!"
The Emperor Taishang rubbed his brows and said angrily: "The throne is all given to you, if you don't want to do it, you will be the emperor for your other brothers. I am old, unwell, and lacking in energy. You can handle the affairs of the government by yourself. However, if there is something you are not sure about, I can help you to look at it with reluctance."
When the emperor heard his father's words, he was excited for a while, "Father, rest assured, my son will do his best."
