Zhao Hai came to the Immortal Emperor's study. After entering the study, Zhao Hai saluted the Immortal Emperor. After the Immortal Emperor allowed him to get up without any ceremony, he said to Zhao Hai: "Zhao Hai, the news you reported three days ago, I have already
Got it, and Wei Banban confirmed the authenticity of the news. I called you here this time just to ask you, do you have any solution to this matter? If so, just tell me.
"
Zhao Hai glanced at the Immortal Emperor, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I do have a way, and there are two. One is the best way, and the other is not so good."
When the Immortal Emperor heard Zhao Hai say that he had two ways, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he immediately said with great joy: "Okay, great, it would be great if there is a way. Then tell me first, what do you think is the best way?"
What is the method?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I think the best way is to abolish a law, which is the tax exemption law for major families. As long as this law is abolished, then major families will have to pay taxes. As long as
If they pay the tax, then the court can collect the tax, and by that time, those big families will probably turn around and demand the repeal of the tax increase decree. This is a once and for all solution to this matter.
"
The Immortal Emperor and Wei Xiaode were all stunned when they heard what Zhao Hai said. They really didn't expect that Zhao Hai would give them such an idea, which made them all stunned for a moment.
There, it took a while for the Immortal Emperor's face to change several times, and then he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Your method is indeed a good method, but this matter will not succeed. The ministers in the court will definitely
Objection, so this matter cannot succeed."
Zhao Haidao: "Your Majesty, what if we put it another way? We will not abolish the law that big families do not pay taxes, but we will add a law that all officials of Immortal Court are not allowed to do business, so that the big families will have to give in.
When others do business, as long as the business people are not members of major families or monks, then we can collect taxes from them."
The Immortal Emperor and Wei Xiaode were both bright-eyed, this method was indeed very good, but when they thought of the ministers in the court, the three of them were a little discouraged. Those ministers were not fools, and it was impossible for them to pass this decree.
The Immortal Emperor shook his head, and then said to Zhao Hai: "Then tell me about the not-so-good method."
Zhao Hai responded, and then said: "Your Majesty, what I said is not a good way, is for your Majesty to come forward to help those merchants who have business difficulties and help them tide over the difficulties. Your Majesty can ask Dongwei to take action.
Establish trading houses in various cities, integrate the power of small businessmen, and turn those small businessmen into big businessmen, or simply not allow those small businessmen to be directly named under His Majesty's name, so that they naturally do not have to pay taxes.
, but they can pay money to His Majesty, and the money will go directly to the inner government. In this way, even if there is really no money in the treasury, the inner government will still have money to support the operation of the armies in various places. As long as the army is normal, then Your Majesty can
Slowly deal with those ministers."
The Immortal Emperor was stunned for a moment, but then his eyes lit up, and he continued: "Yes, yes, this method is good, this method is even better than the previous method, Wei Banban, Liu Banban, it depends on you this time
Well, this time we are going to start robbing people from the ministers in the DPRK."
Wei Xiaode and Liu Zhong both responded with perseverance on their faces. Zhao Hai looked at them and couldn't help but sighed. Then he cupped his fists at the Immortal Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking. Although I have done this,
Very good, but there is also a problem, that is, it will make the big families in the DPRK stronger. I also heard a news from the Ministry of War these days. The Ministry of War is reorganizing the army. They want to reorganize the army in the DPRK.
Moreover, they have to recruit troops and increase the number of troops. These methods are clearly aimed at Your Majesty. If their family really grows, it will definitely not be a good thing for the court at that time.
If one of them is not done well, countries within countries will form one after another. At that time, it will be even more difficult for the court to deal with them."
When the Immortal Emperor heard what Zhao Hai said, he also frowned, and then he said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I still believe that it is just right to tax the major families. If the major families do not agree, then they must be prohibited from doing business. Even if I think it is necessary, I can send troops to enter."
All cities must implement this law, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
The Immortal Emperor frowned and said: "This matter is definitely not possible. If it is really done, it will cause a backlash from everyone in the court, which will not be a good thing for the Immortal World. Forget it, let's go first
How about this."
When Zhao Hai heard what the Immortal Emperor said, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Your Majesty, if the backlash against the ministers of the DPRK and China is too fierce, you can not collect taxes from them, but your Majesty must add one more
The decree, the new taxation law, is only used for commercial taxes, not agricultural taxes. Your Majesty, agriculture is the foundation of the world. If agricultural taxes are increased, it will be really over. Once farmers cannot support themselves on the land they cultivate,
They can only sell their land, and their land will be annexed by those big families. By then, I am afraid that they will really form states within states. Therefore, your majesty must order that no more farmers be added.
The tax."
When the Immortal Emperor heard what Zhao Hai said, he was also stunned. Then he glanced at Wei Xiaode and Liu Zhong. Wei Xiaode thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Your Majesty, what Zhao Hai said makes sense. If the agricultural tax does not
Increase, even if some bad situations occur in the fairy world, the situation can still be stabilized. If the agricultural tax is really increased and the land is in the hands of those big families, then they will really be
, If you want money, you will have money, and if you want food, you will have food, and they can also recruit soldiers from those farmers, and then they will even have soldiers, which will be really troublesome."
The Immortal Emperor nodded, and then he said in a deep voice: "Let's do this. Tomorrow at the court meeting, we will first propose that all major families should also pay taxes. The ministers in the court will definitely object, and then I can ask for it.
If they do not increase agricultural taxes, I believe that they will agree and this matter will be resolved." Wei Xiaode and Liu Zhong both agreed.
Then the Immortal Emperor looked at Zhao Hai again, sighed softly and said: "Zhao Aiqing, you said before that taxing the major families is indeed the best idea, but there is no way. This decree is impossible to pass, so there is no way.
We can only use this method, and now we can only do it slowly, step by step, first stabilize our position, and then slowly deal with those big families."
"Yes, I understand." Zhao Hai also knows the difficulty of the Immortal Emperor. The Immortal Emperor's prestige and strength in the Immortal World cannot be compared with Zhao Hai in the Blood Killing Sect, so he made such a choice.
Normal.
The Immortal Emperor seemed to have relaxed a lot. He looked at Zhao Hai and said: "Zhao Aiqing, you should also be aware of the situation in the court. You are now considered my confidant, so I will no longer be polite to you, but I don't know that Zhao Aiqing
Is there any way to deal with the ministers in the DPRK? Now the ministers in the DPRK are monolithic. They are united and even I can’t do anything to them. Do you have any way to deal with them? "
Zhao Hai thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the ministers in the court are difficult to deal with now is because they are monolithic. As long as they are no longer monolithic, it will be easy to deal with them. Now those ministers in the court are
Ministers, although they all seem to be united, everyone has their own ideas. It is impossible for them to think of others selflessly. If that is really the case, then they will not be able to unite and fight against His Majesty.
So I feel that if you want to deal with those ministers, the first step is to break their alliance so that they are no longer united. As long as their alliance is broken, it will be too easy for Your Majesty to deal with them."
The Immortal Emperor was stunned. He had never thought about this before. He had always thought about how to seize military power and financial power. He had never thought of directly breaking the alliance of those ministers.
Zhao Hai's words really woke him up. The Immortal Emperor looked at Zhao Hai with bright eyes and said, "Go on."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know much about the situation in the DPRK right now, so I can't give you any advice. However, I think your Majesty can start from a small start to make the DPRK and Zhongzhong better."
Those people feel that the two parties on the left and right are unfair to them. Only in this way will they alienate themselves from the two parties on the left and right. When the time comes, His Majesty only needs to recruit them, and then they will definitely fall to His Majesty, and the main thing is the appointment of officials at all levels.
, Your Majesty, if the two prime ministers want to appoint officials at all levels, they must finally ask your majesty for approval. Then your majesty can propose another candidate. If the two prime ministers disagree, it will be tantamount to offending the other party.
If they agree, then those people will only be grateful to Your Majesty, so Your Majesty can start from this aspect."
The Immortal Emperor nodded with bright eyes, then he glanced at Zhao Haidao: "Zhao Aiqing is very familiar with this method, what? Have you used these methods before?" When he said this,
His eyes were still fixed on Zhao Hai.
After hearing the words of the Immortal Emperor, Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, when I was in the lower realm, I was the leader of the Blood Killing Sect. Although the Blood Killing Sect is not very strong, I cannot be the only one in the Blood Killing Sect.
One person can make the final decision, but there are still many elders. If those elders unite and deal with me together, then I will have no way to become the leader of the clan, so I have really used this method."
When the Immortal Emperor and others heard what Zhao Hai said, they were all stunned, but then they all laughed. The Immortal Emperor even smiled and said: "Okay, okay, that's good. When you were in the lower realm, you were also in the same sect."
Lord, the head of this sect, the head of the family, and me are actually the same. What we have to face are the same problems, so there is nothing surprising that you have used such methods.
Let’s not talk about this matter anymore, I have taken note of your proposal, and I will definitely use the method you mentioned.” Zhao Hai responded without speaking.
