Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Household Department.

The Minister of Household Affairs is immersed in handling the political affairs of the Household Department.

During this time, Xun Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, was away, so all matters in the Ministry of Finance were handled by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

And because spring plowing has begun, many matters related to spring plowing from various places are constantly sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs. In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs is also busy checking some changes in the land and taxation of wealthy families.

Therefore, during this period, the household department was extremely busy.

In the entire imperial court, the household department was the busiest.

At this time, an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs came in.

"grown ups."

"Here's the business tax figures these days..."

The official from the Ministry of Revenue took out a piece of data, held it in his hand and said.

The Minister of Household Affairs waved his hand without raising his head, "Put it on the table first and wait until I'm done with my work before I look at it."

The Minister of Household Affairs was dealing with many matters related to spring plowing sent from various places, and his voice sounded slightly tired.

During this period, Minister Tobe basically spent most of his time busy.

Lack of ability can only be made up for with time.

Compared with Xun Yu, the Minister of Hube knew that his ability was far behind.

Therefore, if you want to handle the entire household affairs, large and small, without making any mistakes, the Minister of household affairs can only spend more time.

"Yes, sir."

The Ministry of Revenue official put the data in his hand on the table next to him, and then withdrew.

After the Minister of Revenue finished what he was doing, the Minister of Revenue picked up the data just sent by the Ministry of Revenue official on the table next to him, and casually glanced at the commercial tax revenue in recent days.

Since the last morning report, the Minister of Household Affairs has been paying attention to changes in commercial taxes from time to time.

However, the commercial tax data compiled from the previous statistics have not changed much.

If the commercial tax data calculated this time are still the same as before, with no major changes, the Minister of Household Affairs will prepare to continue to report to the emperor to withdraw his intention to cancel the tariff.

After all, if the commercial tax cannot make up for the canceled tariffs, it will cost the Zhou treasury a lot of money.

The Minister of Household Affairs looked at the commercial tax data compiled this time, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink sharply.

"this……"

"What's happening here?"

Minister Tobe opened his eyes wide and almost thought he had seen it wrong.

Business taxes have been calculated these days.

Business tax is different from land tax.

Land tax is collected once a year and the time span is very long.

But commercial tax must be calculated every few days.

Because every moment, there will be the sale and exchange of goods, and at the same time as the sale and exchange of goods, commercial taxes will appear.

However, the Minister of Household Affairs was shocked by the commercial tax data in recent days.

"How can it be?"

“How could there be such a huge increase in business taxes?”

The Minister of Tobe swallowed his saliva and couldn't hide the shock on his face.

The commercial tax data placed in front of the Minister of Household Affairs showed that in recent days, the commercial tax collected within Luoyang Sili alone has exceeded the previous tax cancellation by more than 10%.

More than 10% of the previous cancellation of tariffs?

What concept is this?

This is only the commercial tax within the scope of Luoyang Sili.

If the scope is extended to all parts of the Zhou Dynasty, how much more commercial taxes will be exceeded by more than 10% of the previous cancellation of customs taxes?

If this skyrocketing trend is followed, within one year, Dazhou's commercial tax revenue will definitely be much greater than the previous tariffs.

The Minister of Household Affairs never dreamed that the commercial tax would suddenly change so much and increase so much.

The commercial tax not only supplemented the previously canceled tariffs, but also exceeded the previous tariffs by more than 10%, which is simply unimaginable.

Looking at the statistics in front of me.

Minister Tobe's heart was filled with deep shock.

At the beginning, after the tariffs were cancelled, the Minister of Household Affairs looked at the statistical commercial tax data and prepared for the worst.

But now, the Minister of Household Affairs has seen the skyrocketing commercial tax. Not only has he supplemented the canceled customs tax, but it has also exceeded the previous customs tax by more than 10%, as if he was dreaming.

The Minister of Household Affairs suddenly remembered that in the morning meeting, he had reported to the emperor, hoping to persuade the emperor to withdraw his intention to cancel the customs duties!

Because, in the view of the Minister of Household Affairs, the newly proposed commercial taxes are simply not enough to supplement the canceled tariffs.

If the customs tax is abolished, the tax revenue of Dazhou will drop significantly.

In this way, the tax revenue will be reduced, but it will affect the normal operation of Dazhou.

However, Zhou Chen did not accept the persuasion of the Minister of Household Affairs at that time.

Thinking about it now, the Minister of Household Affairs felt a little lucky. Fortunately, His Majesty did not listen to their persuasion to restore the customs tax and recover the commercial tax reform.

Otherwise, the loss from commercial tax would be huge.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The Minister of Household Affairs only has these four words in his heart now.

Even though the current commercial tax is only 10% more than the previous tariff, it feels like it is not much more than the previous customs tax.

But if we take the entire Zhou Dynasty as an example, if the commercial tax is 10% more than the previous customs tax, then this number cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, following this trend, the Minister of Household Affairs can see that there is great potential behind the commercial tax, and it will continue to increase sharply.

The Minister of Tobe felt ashamed when he thought that he wanted to persuade His Majesty to withdraw his decree and had doubts about His Majesty's decree.

Although, the Minister of Household Affairs still doesn't understand why the commercial tax suddenly increased and what the change was.

But these are no longer important.

It would be sufficient as long as the commercial tax exceeds the tax revenue from the previous elimination of the customs tax.

The Minister of Household Affairs was very excited.

Now that the commercial tax reform has been successful, the Minister of Household Affairs is also confident about the land tax reform.

"With this wise king in our great Zhou Dynasty, why not worry about restoring the prosperous times of Great Zhou Dynasty in the past!"

The Minister of Household Affairs was looking forward to it in his heart. He seemed to see that under the leadership of Zhou Chen, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the world was peaceful.

As an old minister who was loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty, this was the long-cherished wish of the Minister of Household Affairs in his life.

…

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, immersed in the sign-in system.

Looking at the silent sign-in system, Zhou Chen looked a little disappointed.

Since the four alien races outside the pass were annihilated, the system has been in the process of upgrading.

After so many days, the system upgrade has only reached 53%, which is only half, which makes Zhou Chen feel a little anxious.

System upgrades are so slow.

This would delay his check-in for many days.

I don’t know what changes will happen after this system upgrade.

Zhou Chen thought secretly in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian is asking for an audience outside the palace."

At this time, a factory guard came in to report, which brought Zhou Chen back from his thoughts.

"Xuan Ba ​​Xian Wang comes in."

After Zhou Chen recovered his thoughts, he said to the house guard.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The house guard turned around and retreated.

moment.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian walked into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.

"I have met His Majesty."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian walked into the Yangxin Hall and greeted Zhou Chen respectfully on the dragon throne.

"Uncle Eight Emperors, you don't need to be polite."

Zhou Chen waved his hand and raised his eyes to look at the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian; "Uncle Eight Emperors, have the funeral affairs of Patriarch Rushan been settled?"

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have already taken care of the funeral affairs of Patriarch Rushan."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian said, a trace of sadness flashed across his face.

Zhou Rushan has always been in charge of the clan mansion, and the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian has become accustomed to the existence of Zhou Rushan, the ancestor.

Now Zhou Rushan suddenly passed away, which made it difficult for the Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian to recover in a short time, whether in terms of personal feelings or other aspects.

"That's good."

"Ancestor Rushan made a lot of contributions to the Great Zhou. If Ancestor Rushan hadn't fought for the Great Zhou, with Huangtian Sect traitors and Nanman priests, Ancestor Rushan wouldn't have left so quickly."

Zhou Chen sighed.

It is true that Zhou Rushan is approaching his end.

But as a half-step heavenly being, even if Zhou Rushan's end is approaching, he can still survive for a while.

That's why Zhou Rushan died so quickly.

It was because Zhou Rushan had been seriously injured by the Huangtian Sect in the four northern states, and then killed two Nanman priests in the southern Xinjiang, that his last bit of vitality was exhausted.

Zhou Chen saw this clearly.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian remained silent.

As a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, fighting for the Great Zhou Dynasty is what a member of the royal family should do.

Even if he died in battle in the end, he would not hesitate.

This is the responsibility of being a member of the Zhou royal family, and it is also an inevitable fate.

After Zhou Chen sighed, he looked at the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian and asked, "Uncle Eight Emperors came to Yangxin Palace, what's the matter?"

The Eight Wise King Zhou Xian hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, now that the foreign races from all directions outside the Pass have been wiped out by our Great Zhou, the world is at peace. Our Great Zhou court is also prospering both inside and outside, and the resurgence of the Great Zhou has been completed."

"However, as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Your Majesty, the harem has been vacant since the Wu family's rebellion."

"Especially, Your Majesty has not yet given birth to an heir. This has a great impact on both the world of Great Zhou and our royal family."

"So, this is why I came to the palace this time."

"I sincerely request your Majesty to start selecting concubines to enrich the harem."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian said with a serious face.

Long before that, the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian had already prepared to report to the emperor.

After all, as an emperor, it is not okay to have the harem vacant all the time.

Moreover, the emperor had no heirs, and the impact of this matter was not trivial.

Throughout the dynasties, if the emperor had no heirs, people would be upset and there would be constant ups and downs inside and outside the court.

But before, the imperial court was sending troops outside the pass, and there were many things going on, so the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian was not in a hurry to report.

But now, all the foreign races outside the Pass have been destroyed, and the situation inside and outside the Great Zhou Dynasty is flourishing.

It can be said that the resurgence of the Great Zhou Dynasty has become unstoppable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the world is at peace.

At this time, the emperor's harem had no concubines and the emperor had no heirs. It became the most urgent problem to solve at the moment.

Therefore, Zhou Xian, the Eight Sage King, had to rush to report to Zhou Chen, the emperor, and draft a concubine.

Hearing the words of the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian, Zhou Chen was obviously stunned for a moment.

Zhou Chen did not expect that the reason why Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King, came to the palace to see him as the emperor was because of this matter.

"Uncle Eighth Emperor, the imperial court is currently investigating the rich and powerful families' seizure of people's land, taking back the private soldiers of the rich and famous families, and establishing a royal academy. It can be said that there are many things going on."

"At this time, the imperial court is clearing away internal shortcomings. It would be inappropriate to devote too much energy to drafting concubines."

"I think it's not too late to talk about this matter after these things are resolved."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said.

After what happened with Wu Ying, Zhou Chen felt that there was no need to rush to pick a concubine.

Because choosing a concubine too early and giving birth to an heir will only increase the fighting in the harem, and even involve the court.

Zhou Chen doesn't want to spend too much energy dealing with such intrigues now.

"Besides, I'm still young, so there's no need to rush into this matter."

"I have plenty of time, and I won't cut off my heirs."

Zhou Chen said again.

Zhou Chen understood what Bai Baxian King Zhou Xian meant. He was simply afraid that he, the emperor, would lose the inheritance.

But is this possible?

This world is not an ordinary world, but a world where one can cultivate to become a god, fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and a strong person can burn the sky and boil the sea.

Let’s not talk about breaking through to heaven and breaking the shackles of life. Let’s just say that the life span of a half-step heaven is much longer than that of ordinary people.

As for Zhou Chen's practice of the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique, it can be said that his life span is as long as that of the Emperor.

As long as there is enough luck, Zhou Chen's lifespan will be extended indefinitely.

Zhou Chen didn't want to give birth to an heir so early, and then there would be a lot of grandchildren.

Maybe, he might even have to face a situation where his heirs would rebel and usurp the throne.

What?

still young?

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

His Eight Sage King Zhou Xian had five or six heirs when Zhou Chen was about the same age.

And Zhou Chen is still saying that he is young?

You damn young man!

Besides, which emperor in the past dynasties would always have a vacant harem without a concubine after he ascended the throne?

"His Majesty……."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhou Chen waving his hand.

"Uncle Eight Emperors, I understand what you mean."

"There's no rush now. We'll talk about it after we've settled the issues with the court."

"As the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I know more about the importance of inheritance to my descendants than my uncle."

"Uncle Eighth Emperor, don't worry, I know the severity."

Zhou Chen looked at the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian and said.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian heard Zhou Chen's words and looked at Zhou Chen's unquestionable attitude, so he had no choice but to stop talking about it for the time being.

However, the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian has not given up on letting Zhou Chen accept his concubine.

When a concubine gives birth to an heir, it is related to the stability inside and outside the court, and also affects the royal family.

Therefore, Zhou Xian, the Eight Sages King, thought that after leaving the palace, he had to visit Xiao He and several other important officials in the court.

If he alone can't make a difference, then let the officials of the imperial court also report the matter.

"Uncle Eighth Emperor, the Royal Academy is about to be established. I asked Du Ruhui to recruit teachers from the Royal Academy first."

"After you go back, you should pay attention to this matter. Assist Du Ruhui and select people within the royal family carefully. You must not make up for the numbers."

After Zhou Chen interrupted the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian, he looked at the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian bowed and said.
