But these words had a different meaning in Feiyan's ears.

Although she couldn't understand the secret of longevity, Feiyan didn't think that Zhu Houzhao would deceive her in this regard. The land gods still wanted to have face, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't deceive others in this regard.

But a betrothal gift? It seems good. If Donghuang Taiyi received the Secret of Immortality, he would definitely agree to this, right?

Moreover, considering the fact that Zhu Houzhao had many land gods on hand, Donghuang Taiyi did not dare to mess around.

"I need to send someone to discuss this matter with Lord Donghuang. Feiyan paused and continued to add:"He is my master." Without him, I would probably be dead."

These words have actually shown that Feiyan has agreed to Zhu Houzhao's request.

This also makes Zhu Houzhao very satisfied. Women like Feiyan are very trustworthy. After this period of getting along, Zhu Houzhao It was also confirmed that the other party was a love brain. Zhu Houzhao said that he just liked love brains.

However, what Feiyan said made Zhu Houzhao think of a lot of things. Did dragons not exist five thousand years ago?

And Zhan As far as we know, the temple first appeared five thousand years ago. The first person to enter the war temple was Guangchengzi.

And at that time, were there any existences that surpassed the land gods? If possible, Zhu Houzhao really wanted to see Meet those people.

What is the reason for the disappearance of these existences that transcend land gods?

It cannot be because of the Conferred God War, right?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"By the way, Da Qin seems to want to plant spies into His Majesty's harem. I hope you will be careful."Immediately afterwards, Feiyan continued to remind Zhu Houzhao

"Spy? Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched:"Is it possible that marriage is also possible?" However, even if ordinary people enter my harem, they will not have any effect~."

Xu Yeyue's ability is undoubted, and with Bai Fanghua assisting him, Zhu Houzhao is not worried about spies at all.

But who will this spy be?

By the way, Ying Zheng seems to have quite a few beautiful girls under his command. Why don't you ask Brother Zheng for more girls?

………………………………………………………

"Your Majesty, this is the state treasury revenue and expenditure last year!"In the rare morning time, Zhang Juzheng handed over a memorial and said to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao asked someone to bring the memorial up and glanced at the information on it:"Last year's normal treasury revenue was only 70 million taels?

The expenditure exceeded 130 million taels?"

"Your Majesty, because there were many wars last year, military expenditures increased, and post-war repairs also consumed a lot of money."Zhang Juzheng also knew what Zhu Houzhao meant and quickly explained.

Of course, this is just a play.

"However, will the normal revenue of the national treasury be too little? Zhu Houzhao snorted:"There are more than 10 million taels in this, and they are all taxes paid by my imperial estate and royal property!"

But why are there so few other taxes? I am already paying taxes to Ming Dynasty! Don’t these businessmen know how to pay taxes?"

"Your Majesty! The Ming Dynasty’s taxation on business has always been low.……"Zhang Juzheng said hesitantly.

"Well, since there is less, let’s start collecting taxes! Zhang Juzheng, please come up with a charter. I don’t want to see these businessmen living a life of fine clothing and fine food, and enjoying the protection of my Ming Dynasty, but they don’t have to bear the obligation to pay taxes!

Paying taxes is every taxpayer’s obligation! I'm all paying taxes, but those scumbags don't want to pay taxes. Anyone who doesn't pay taxes should all die!

Later, the Ming Dynasty established a tax bureau, which had the same status as the six ministries and was responsible for tax matters! Directly under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet."Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, looked at Zhu Wuwu who was not far away and said:"

Uncle Emperor, when the time comes, you should cooperate with the cabinet more!

If someone refuses to cooperate and obstructs the tax system, their homes will be confiscated and their families will be exterminated.

You should understand what I mean!"

Zhu Wulan took a deep breath, damn, I have to take the blame again!

But taking the blame is good! Taking the blame proves that he can contribute to the Ming Dynasty. Last year, he killed so many people, but Zhu Wuwu didn't feel guilty at all, but his heart surged.

Thinking about those businessmen, they always boasted that they were rich and could rival the country. This really made Zhu Wuwu, a member of the royal family, feel dissatisfied.

Damn it, this is all They belong to their old Zhu family!

These guys deserve to be killed!

"..Yes, but when collecting taxes, you also need to make a judgment based on your personal income! I will give some detailed instructions later!"Zhu Houzhao decided to come up with the concept of staged tax collection.

In the second year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao had no idea of ​​​​war, and the war with Meng Yuan continued. This was inevitable.

Although This will also affect the national power of Ming Dynasty, but it is the best situation for the current Ming Dynasty.

This can also continue to weaken the foundation of Meng Yuan.

If a country like Meng Yuan cannot obtain a large amount of resources through war, , they will gradually have internal problems.

After all, this is a country that developed by plundering resources. If they cannot plunder resources, where will they get their food and where will their money come from?

Almost all prairie people have this problem

"yes……"Zhang Juzheng glanced at the civil servants behind him.

Many of these people cooperate with local (Li's) factions and businessmen, and many of them even have people in their families who are doing business.

If Zhu Houzhao wanted to do this, he would definitely infringe on their interests.

There are indeed patriotic businessmen, but to be honest, not many.

Zhu Houzhao has no particular prejudice against businessmen. If these people really follow the law honestly, Zhu Houzhao will not do anything to them, as long as they do not break the law.

After all, in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, all of this can be exploited, and is it possible that an ordinary businessman can still go against Zhu Houzhao?

Zhu Houzhao also plans to make his"state-owned economy" bigger and stronger. Even if businessmen threaten to strike, Zhu Houzhao will not let them go.

His broadsword was already thirsty. d
