After the emperor heard the conditions given by the Demon Cult, he surprisingly did not get angry.
"Three years? Okay, I will tolerate him for three years." The emperor said calmly.
"It's all the ministers who have waited for ten thousand deaths to allow His Majesty to suffer this humiliation." A group of important ministers took off their official hats and knelt on the ground.
The king humiliates the minister and dies.
But at this time, everyone is just saying it.
The emperor was jealous and did not trust his ministers; naturally the ministers would not be loyal to the emperor. In fact, as a group, they had never been truly loyal to the emperor.
They are only loyal to money, land, women...
Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. This is the common idea.
"Three years later, I will let these rebellious officials and traitors know that this is my world." After the emperor finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
The ministers shook their heads.
There are internal and external troubles, and now even the martial arts sects have risen in rebellion.
Want to escape?
Lets see.
It was just a matter of surrendering at the enemy's gate, but now that he has escaped, the real estate and shops in the capital will definitely be gone, and no one can hold it if it is left to him.
The ministers had their own plans in mind.
After going to court, the emperor quickly fell asleep.
In the past, if he wanted to know where there was rebellion, he could only rely on the people below.
Either it was a tip from the minister or the commander-in-chief, or the factory guards were sent to investigate.
Now, he can go and see it for himself and take a walk.
Suicongling is not too far from the capital and is located at the junction of the Central Plains and Jiangnan.
This shows how courageous the Demonic Cult is.
He turned into an eagle in the sky and flew south quickly - this is a popular technique in the Divine Network recently. There are always many smart minds.
No wonder Legalism wants to fool the people in order to control it.
More than an hour later, the eagle flew to Wuguan County.
The emperor went to the county government first.
Subconsciously, he still believed that whether a rebellion could become a climate or not, the most important thing was the performance of officials.
I saw the county government office reviewing a case.
There were people around.
When he was a prince, he once went to see Shuntian Prefecture Yin's trial, but he was confused.
Big and small things are all mixed up.
From that moment on, the seeds were planted for him that ministers could not be trusted.
"Master Inspector, this land belongs to our Mr. Wang's family. The title deed clearly states our Mr. Wang's honorable name." A middle-aged man who looked like a butler said, holding a piece of land deed.
On the other side, there are two old men.
"But our second child came back after school and said that any land where the royal grain was paid, it means that the land... that land belongs to your family, and you can go to the Yamen to apply for a new lease. Our family has paid the royal grain for three generations in a row.
Ah, it’s still a lottery of 1 out of 20. We all have witnesses who go to our village to collect taxes every year and give us white notes." One of the old Chinese said incoherently.
"Well, that's the truth."
Above the lobby, three people were sitting, lined up on the left, middle and right. The speaker was a young man in the middle, wearing a white uniform, like a young knight, better than an official.
When the emperor heard this, he nodded slightly.
When he was taxing, he also discussed this issue with his chief minister.
The first assistant said that the tax increase will be for those who have land, but not for those without land.
In turn, we can reason that the tax on this land is paid by whoever pays it, which means whose land it is. Because it is only levied on the owner of the land.
This is a no-brainer.
Of course, the emperor is no longer stupid now. He knows that apportionment is transferred, landlords hide their land, and officials work together to transfer tax burdens.
"The land deed is here, written in black and white. How can I fake it? The government has used a red deed with a big seal. You can't deny the big seal of the previous government, right?" the housekeeper said confidently.
For more than half a year, they have figured out the origins of the Holy Army these days.
"Well, since the land is yours, why didn't you pay taxes?" the young man asked.
"That was a matter of the previous dynasty. We will pay this year's taxes." The housekeeper said a little distressed.
As soon as he said this, the onlookers immediately yelled.
"Shameless!"
"That's right, who doesn't know that the previous dynasty had heavy taxes and huge apportionments; now there are only regular taxes and no apportionments. For farming, you only get 1 out of 20 per year, and nothing else."
"Yeah yeah."
The emperor's heart sank when he heard this.
These people are really hateful.
With a little kindness and righteousness, they were bribed, and they kept saying that the Great Yan Court and the land of Longhan were the former dynasty.
Dayan is also called Longhan because it inherited the Han tradition.
"You guys are so naughty. Since we recognize the land of the previous dynasty, we have to take care of the previous dynasty's affairs. You can also say that this land is yours. We will replenish all the royal grain of the previous dynasty for a total of one hundred and twenty years."
Pass it all to these two old men." The young man was stunned and said directly.
"good!"
Everyone cheered.
The emperor also nodded slightly.
That's the truth.
You have to refund the taxes that others paid for you.
"This, this..." The housekeeper was shocked.
These 120 years of taxes, even excluding assessments, far exceed the value of these lands!
The housekeeper looked back at the crowd and saw a silk-like gentleman shaking his head at him.
“We don’t want this land anymore!”
"Okay, this court makes the following judgment:..."
After the emperor saw it, he had mixed feelings.
Everything is clear, upright and well-founded.
Do you think it's difficult?
Not difficult at all.
The truth is out there in broad daylight.
Sure enough, these are all those damn ministers, none of them take their work seriously.
But, why can the people of the Holy Army work seriously on this day?
Yes, they only have land in two counties, so they can monitor nearby without fear of fraud from below.
Just like what I did near the capital.
The beams left by our ancestors are all good, but there are too many borers. If we remove the borers, they will last forever.
An idea came into the emperor's mind.
But how to prevent moths from growing?
The great Confucian scholars said that we should rely on education and morality, but except for a few honest officials, most of the Jinshi went there for the land.
Have they read less books by sages?
Really damn.
The emperor hated Taoism, and it seemed that Confucianism could not teach honest officials.
So which school should be used?
Legalism, the same goes for Legalism.
The world is as black as crows.
With this idea in mind, he continued to visit Wuguan County.
After wandering around for a while, I saw a few idle men drinking in a restaurant.
This is a dream restaurant. Some people have discovered that you can drink in dreams. You can try it now if you can't afford it at ordinary times.
Of course, you still save money on eating. After all, if you eat in a dream, you will be hungrier when you wake up. It’s not like drinking. What you want is to be energetic when drinking.
"Last time, the tax collector overcharged me by five cents. I have to sue him secretly."
"It's only five cents, forget it."
"How can it be calculated? If the report is true, I will be compensated ten sons and two days' wages. All I have to do is cover my face and secretly drop a letter."
"Aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you?"
"What are you afraid of him doing? If he beats me, he will have to support me for the rest of his life. Everyone in the Heavenly Saint Army is careful and will supervise everyone. From the officials to the petty officials, they will not dare to do anything wrong." The idle man said proudly.
"makes sense."
Everyone is an eye and everyone monitors?
The emperor's heart moved, and then he became depressed.
He can't do this.
Because if he does this, people will send innate masters to kill him!
The royal masters have declined because they simply have no money and food.
Military pay has to be increased. If there is no money or food, how can one buy expensive medicinal materials and support the masters?
The cost of food and clothing for an expert is much more expensive than a few thousand elites.
The only few were left by the late emperor to save their lives.
Their Heavenly Holy Army is a demon sect themselves, has its own masters, and only has two counties, so it can suppress those officials.
But he couldn't do it anymore.
The emperor thought like this and walked around again.
