After chatting with Tao Ze and Li Yuan, Qin Mu had many new feelings about the medical insurance system, and Li Yuan's words left a deep impression on him: instead of rolling out insurance in an all-round way, which is thankless, it is better to directly reduce or reduce taxes for the lower households.

This year, Daqin's commercial tax exceeded the agricultural tax for the first time, accounting for 52% of the annual revenue, and this trend will continue, and the proportion of industrial and commercial tax revenue in the total annual revenue will increase in the future.

In other words, Daqin's dependence on agricultural taxes will become less and less.

In this case, the imperial court can afford to reduce or reduce some taxes for the lower households, and on the other hand, it is conducive to promoting the further growth of the middle class.

No matter what era, the middle class is the main body of consumption, and the scale of the middle class has grown, which has an irreplaceable role in stimulating the consumption demand of Daqin and promoting the development of industry and commerce, thereby accelerating the process of industrial revolution.

Compared to this big goal, maybe health insurance can really be considered later.

Regardless of whether the medical insurance system is fully rolled out or not, public hospitals in various states and counties have already been established, and if they do not separate medicine now, it will be difficult to do so if a huge vested interest group is formed in the future.

Qin Mu likes to listen to the voice from the lower level, this kind of voice is more real, just like Li Yuan's words, there is no selfishness, just said his own opinion, for such words, Qin Mu is very relieved to listen, don't worry about who is digging a pit to lead him to jump down.

After sending Li Yuan and Tao Ze away, Qin Mu returned to the upper cabin. Qiao'er, this girl guessed that she lost a lot, although she drank sweet brew, she still blushed and looked coquettish, and when she saw Qin Mu, she immediately ran up and pulled his arm, pointed at Mo Mo and said, "Your Majesty." Momo bullied me, he bullied me"

Mo Mo stopped doing it, got up and said: "Your Majesty, she just bullied people, she guessed that she lost, so she cheated." ”

Qin Mu smiled, hugged the delicate Yun Qiao'er, sat next to Yang Zhi, picked up Yang Zhi's wine glass and drank it, Yang Zhi couldn't cry or laugh when she saw it.

Yun Qiao'er burrowed around in his arms like a kitten. Don't forget to continue to complain: "Your Majesty, can you help me, and Ruoruo, she is too, and her heart is towards Momo, and she won't help me." ”

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

Qin Mu suddenly said such a sentence, which made Qiao'er and the others a little dumbfounded, what does this have to do with not being allowed to interfere in politics in the future.

I'm not involved in politics, am I? Qiao'er looked aggrieved, since Qin Mu told the story of the crane slave. She didn't dare to intercede with anyone.

"In the same way, I cough ahem, you understand?"

When Mo Mo heard this, he immediately laughed proudly. Qiao'er snorted, "Don't be complacent. After speaking, he put on the sweetest and sweetest smile and smiled at Yang Zhi: "Sister, you are the best"

"Hahaha," Qin Mu laughed.

Yang Zhi couldn't help but twist Qiao'er, and said angrily: "You girl, you don't have a time to live." Yun Qiao'er smiled and got back into Qin Mu's arms. Yang Zhi twisted, she arched in Qin Mu's arms, provoking Qin Mu to beat her up.

"陛xià"

"It's called Husband."

Yang Zhi's eyes flowed to him leisurely. Only then did he change his words: "The concubine saw that the husband and Fang Cai had a very happy conversation, but the husband met a virtuous person again?" ”

"Not bad, at least heard some good builds."

Hearing him say this, Yang Zhi was happy in her heart, and she only felt that it was worth it to accompany him out tonight, even if she was known by the imperial historian.

Edo, Japan.

In the past few days, the Tokugawa shogunate elder Sakai Tadakatsu came to the Great Qin Embassy in Japan for the fourth time.

Wei Zhengdao, who was injured in the Ronin Rebellion, has stabilized his injuries, but although he has been recuperating for a long time, the guests are also received by the bed.

Every time Sakai Tadashi comes, he always brings some precious herbs such as ginseng, and this time he also brought some ambergris, which is said to have a calming effect and help to recuperate.

"The official is no longer in trouble, the old man is busy with official business, and he has to drive the old man on a trip, and the official is really uneasy."

"Ambassador Wei doesn't have to be polite, to be honest, I really don't want to go to disturb Ambassador Wei's recuperation at this time, but now the General's Mansion really needs Daqin's help, Ambassador Wei, please take care of me."

The ronin rebellion led by Yui Masayuki intensified, and the emperor of Kyoto officially expressed his support for Yumasa Masayuki and conferred the rank of general Sekihara on Yui Masayuki, and many samurai from all over Japan who had lost their source of livelihood defected to Sekigahara.

On the other hand, the daimyo in various places saw that the shogun was young, and the more talented old man Abe Tadaaki was excluded from the shogunate, so that the war of Sekigahara was defeated again and again, and all the daimyo also had different intentions, some of them obeyed the yin, and some simply refused to obey orders.

Today's Tokugawa shogunate is embattled, and if measures are not taken, it may be crossed at any time.

Wei Zhengdao took the tea handed by the maid, moistened his mouth and said: "Regarding the matter of sending troops to help the shogunate fight, this official has asked Shi Lang, the commander of the North Sea Fleet. ”

"Did Admiral say yes?" Sakai Tadashi is full of expectations, he has given all the gifts that should be given, and he has said all the good things that should be said, if there is no result this time, he will also despair.

Wei Zhengdao replied: "Elder, as soon as my North Sea Fleet sends troops to help the shogunate fight, the Kyoto side, as well as those rebellious ronin, will inevitably be angry with my merchants in Daqin."

"This Ambassador Wei can rest assured that the shogunate will definitely do its best to ensure the safety of the merchants of Great Qin."

Wei Zhengdao smiled bitterly and said: "Elder, I am the ambassador of Great Qin to Japan, and one of my main responsibilities is to maintain the safety of the people of Great Qin who travel to and from Japan. The duty is in the body, and the elder Mo Benguan does not listen to what he says. If the shogunate is now able to protect the safety of the people of Great Qin who are traveling to and from Japan, I am afraid that there is no need to ask our North Sea Fleet to send troops for help. ”

Sakai Tadashi was a little embarrassed, he naturally knew that if the North Sea Fleet wanted to send troops to help in the war, the shogunate would definitely have to pay everything, and now that the matter was urgent, he couldn't take care of it much: "Ambassador Wei, the general's eldest sister Chiyo Ji Nian will be a smart and beautiful person." The general is willing to serve the eldest sister in Shangbang and wait for the emperor of Great Qin.

In addition, as long as Daqin is willing to send troops to help my general's mansion survive these difficulties, all the expenses will be borne by my general's mansion, and if there is a sacrifice, the pension will be doubled. After the rebellion was put down, the shogunate was willing to open more ports to trade with the Great Qin."

Wei Zhengdao said solemnly: "Elder, just like this, I'm afraid it won't work, this official has the duty to protect the safety of the people of Daqin who travel to and from Japan, for this official, it is more important than anything else." ”

"I understand, and I would like to ask Ambassador Wei for your care." The gray-haired Sakai Tadakatsu bowed down again and again, and their official hats somewhat resembled Tang crowns, which shows that Japan was deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty.

Wei Zhengdao beckoned to Assistant Counselor Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi immediately took a map and spread it out, Wei Zhengdao pointed to the central east coast of the Miura Peninsula in the south of Kanagawa Prefecture, and said to Sakai Tadakatsu: "Elder, if I want Daqin to send troops to help, the shogunate still has to promise us one condition;

Look, my lord, there is a small fishing village called Yokosuka, and we are going to lease 60 miles of land around Yokosuka to build a port, garrison appropriate troops, and then gather the merchant ships of Daqin who came to Japan here to trade, so as not to suffer from the fish in the pond.

If the shogunate can agree to this additional condition, it will be possible for us to send troops to help the shogunate win the war, otherwise, for the sake of the safety of the people of Daqin, we will not interfere in Japan's internal affairs. ”

Sakai Tadashi was a little surprised, this small fishing village in Yokosuka, even he had never heard of it, and it was obvious that the North Sea Fleet had made this request after doing a field investigation.

Although Sakai Tadakatsu did not have much political talent, he was not a fool, and he certainly knew that it was extraordinary to have the Great Qin garrison, especially since Yokosuka was located near Kanagawa and held Egudo, which was the heart of the Tokugawa shogunate.

He hesitated and said: "Ambassador Wei, this one called Yokosuka is just a small deserted fishing village, and it is really inappropriate to let your country build a port here, and it will cost a lot of money, if this is the case, we have a ready-made port in Kagoshima, and we will lease it to Daqin to show the sincerity of our general's palace." ”

Wei Zhengdao shook his head and said: "The elder must also know that the merchants of Daqin now mainly come and go to Edo, and the garrison in the port of Kagoshima does not play much role in protecting the merchant ships of our Daqin.

If you are willing to lend me the garrison of Daqin, I will send troops to help the shogunate quell the rebellion, if not, for the safety of the people of Daqin, this official can only say that he can't help. ”
