Early the next morning, Luo Chen got up early, today is the first court meeting after Emperor Xia's personal expedition, so it is reasonable for him to go there.

In the morning, as in the past, Luo Chen was woken up by Da Qiao's girl, but he didn't sleep well last night, and he had to put on a quilt tonight, it was too cold......

Luo Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Let Elder Zhang rest at home!" Just go with me, Wen Wei, Fengxiao, and Kong Ming! ”

Da Qiao nodded: "Lord Guo and Master Li have already gotten up, and they are waiting for you early." ”

Luo Chen's face was slightly surprised, and he said, "Then why don't you call me?" ”

Da Qiao suddenly lowered his head and said softly, "It's the two adults who want you to sleep a little longer!" ”

Luo Chen's heart warmed, nodded slightly, and said softly: "You go back and sleep for a while!" ”

At this time, the dawn was getting later and later, but the people in the city got up as early as ever, and did not become lazy at all because the weather was getting colder.

Luo Chen and the four of them went to the palace together, waited outside the palace gate, and knew that the roll call official said that the time had come, so he walked into the palace.

"The emperor has arrived!"

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and the whole court is full of laughter, talking about the wisdom and martial arts of our emperor.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

Gonggong Gao symbolically shouted, and Emperor Xia spoke directly: "Ladies and gentlemen, in this national war, my Great Xia can be described as a complete victory, or in a few months, the Southern Prairie will become the back garden of my Great Xia!" ”

When Emperor Xia mentioned this war, he was also full of red light, and compared with before, it was like ten years younger all of a sudden.

"Now, King Yu and Xue Li have led troops to kill the grassland, after this battle, my southern border of Daxia will be forever, after this battle, I will no longer have to worry about horses!"

Emperor Xia's face was full of emotion: "Since the pre-Qin period, the Nanban has always been a problem in the hearts of several countries on the edge of my grassland, and for many years, the Nanban has kidnapped the people of our dynasty and plundered my gold and silver in Great Xia!" ”

"There is even a former emperor who has made a compromise, so that my Great Xia can continue to this day, this is the shame of my Great Xia!"

Xia Huang suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and laughed.

"However, now, my Great Xia has swung my army south, destroyed the Southern Barbarians in one fell swoop, nailed the barbarian emperor, and slaughtered foreign races, this is the supreme glory!"

"What the pre-Qin didn't do, we did it in Great Xia, what we didn't do in Great Zhou, we did it in Great Xia, this, congratulations!"

For a while, the Xia Emperor was full of momentum, and between his gestures, he exuded infinite self-confidence, and the whole person was like a dead tree in spring.

This feat, even for an emperor, is too great to go down in history, to be famous through the ages, and to be supported by future generations.

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, the tiger's body is shocked, and he directly pacifies the Nanban, this is my blessing in Daxia!"

If there is a person in the court who is panicking now, I am afraid that only Xing Ze is alone.

Yesterday, after going back, after being woken up by the old man in the clan, he has been worried and frightened, and even went to Su Mansion in person, but he directly ate a closed door!

Now that I think about it carefully, how can the little good news in my heart escape the eyes of Emperor Xia!

Therefore, now it can be said that he is using the strength of milk to please Emperor Xia, hoping to take advantage of Emperor Xia's great joy at this time and not worry about him!

"Yes! Thanks to Your Majesty, with such a clear guidance in my Great Xia, I will definitely go to the next level! ”

"That's right, Your Majesty is majestic in the world, just relying on those barbarian chickens and dogs, how can they be the enemies of my Tiger and Wolf Division in Great Xia!"

There is a beginning, and the ministers have started to slap the horse, although there is a smile on their faces, but their mouths are very out of tune!

"Ahem!" Emperor Xia coughed lightly and said: "Okay, there is no need to shoot the sycophants, this big victory is not my credit, this big victory is thanks to the soldiers of the three armies, thanks to the generals, and thanks to the people of our court!" ”

Emperor Xia suddenly looked a little serious: "If it weren't for the help of the people, we might not even be able to get together the grain and grass, if it weren't for the help of the people, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to connect to the Tianhe!" ”

"I hope you will remember that water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, this eight characters are the most reasonable!"

Emperor Xia let out a long sigh, and the ministers hurriedly echoed.

Su Xun took the opportunity to speak: "Your Majesty, since you have returned victoriously this time, should you reduce some taxes to show the favor of the imperial court and celebrate the victory of the national war!" ”

Emperor Xia suddenly frowned slightly, only to see Li Zheng stand up, and said with a sad face: "Su Xiang, now the treasury is not even a copper plate, if it is not for the strong support of Xiaoyao Commercial Bank and His Royal Highness King Yin, I am afraid it will ......."

"If the tax is cut again, it will really affect the government!"

Emperor Xia bowed slightly, and the ministers also echoed one after another.

"What Master Li said is reasonable! Now that the imperial court is strapped for money, and even owes foreign debts, if we are cutting taxes, we will all have to drink the northwest wind! ”

This time, even Xu Chang was on Li Zheng's side.

"Yes, it can't be reduced any longer, let's wait until this year!"

Luo Chen, who had never spoken, suddenly stood up: "To reduce!" ”

"Huh?"

The ministers suddenly looked extremely surprised, only to see Luo Chen suddenly speak: "The farmers' taxes must be reduced, not only this year, but in the future, it will continue to be reduced!" ”

"Your Highness, you ......"

Li Zheng suddenly looked at Luo Chen with a stunned face, not knowing what he meant?

"At the end of the year, the common people don't have much harvest, but the tax is five or six out of ten, and sometimes even the tax is raised!"

Although Luo Chen looked a little haggard, his voice was still sonorous and powerful!

"Our imperial court can reduce taxes and make up for it from other places, but for the common people, those few catties of food may be life-saving!"

As soon as Luo Chen's words came out, the ministers suddenly looked stunned, and even a few officials from poor families had a gloomy face, and the poverty at the bottom would never be known to those big men.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Li Zheng only breathed a sigh of relief when he heard "You can make it up from other places", and looked at Luo Chen thoughtfully, he knew that since His Highness said so, there must be a way!

"Light agriculture and heavy business!" Luo Chen gently spit out four words, and the ministers immediately looked at each other: "Light agriculture and heavy business? ”

"Your Royal Highness, since ancient times, has always pursued a policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce, first, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and second, if a merchant controls huge wealth and becomes an official in the court, then it will be ......."

Li Zheng was suddenly a little disappointed and shook his head gently.

Su Xun's eyes lit up: "What does Your Highness mean is light agricultural tax and heavy commercial tax?" ”

"Exactly!"

Luo Chen nodded and said with a smile: "As you all know, all along, whether it is my Great Xia or other countries, it has always been heavy agriculture and suppressed business!" ”

"I don't think I need to explain why, everyone understands it, but ......."

"The most important manifestation of a country's prosperity is that its people are rich, and the fastest way for a country to become rich is to promote the circulation of goods!"
