The Emperor of Red Mansions: Many Children, Many Blessings, Opening Draft

The next day, the Imperial Palace's Taihe Hall!

The South Vietnamese envoys were led into the palace by the eunuchs and waited outside.

Looking at the tall and sturdy figures lined up in front of the palace gate, the South Vietnamese envoys felt a little scared and uneasy.

In the Taihe Hall, the civil and military officials sat in front of the small desk and ate the breakfast provided by the palace in silence.

Until Li Chenghan finished his breakfast, the civil and military officials sped up. Finally, the palace maids cleared the bowls and chopsticks, the table was wiped clean, and the eunuchs offered the four treasures of the study. Then the morning court began.

"Your Majesty, the national debt issued this time is -30% more than expected.

According to the budget, it is completely enough to build Yeweiyang and Chidao.

I wonder if we should allocate funds to the Ministry of Works as soon as possible so that the Ministry of Works can arrange the caravan to start construction first."

After eating and drinking, Lin Ruhai bowed slightly to Li Chenghan and reported.

"Well, allocate funds!"

Li Chenghan nodded and gave Lin Ruhai approval.

"Yes!"

"In addition, according to statistics, since the implementation of the new tax law in Dawu, the tax revenue in the first year of Shenwu has reached 110 million taels of silver.

Of which, commercial tax accounts for half, and land tax and population tax have increased significantly.

It can be said that land tax and population tax have returned to the tax revenue during the Taizu period."

"And the salt tax has also increased significantly due to the rectification of the salt industry by the Dongchang Yamen.

On the contrary, the increase in taxes in Dawu has made the people live more prosperous. According to reports from various places, the number of newborns in Dawu has increased by about 30% compared with previous years."

"Because the people are stable and wealthy, the infant mortality rate of newborns may also drop significantly.

According to the development of our Great Wu in ancient and modern times, tax revenue may continue to increase in the second year of Shenwu.

There are a series of issues such as the expenditure of various national expenses, military reforms, replacement of military equipment, improvement of food, and military pay.

The finances of our Great Wu can fully support it. ”

“It can be said that our Great Wu can now make the people rich and the tax revenue can exceed 100 million (billion) taels, which has never happened before.”

“Our Great Wu can now officially announce that it has entered the Shenwu prosperous era!”

“It took our Great Wu just over a year to enter the prosperous era, and it was all thanks to your majesty’s virtue.”

After Lin Ruhai received the order, he reported the taxation to Li Chenghan in a serious manner.

Listening to Lin Ruhai’s report, even though the civil and military officials had heard about it a long time ago, they couldn’t help but feel a little shocked.

Well, in just over a year, the tax revenue of the Great Wu has increased from 20 to 30 million taels of silver to 100 million (100 million) 10 million taels of silver.

And this tax increase is not the same as before, where various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous levies were added to squeeze the people to get 20 to 30 million taels of silver in tax revenue.

It is based on the premise that the pressure on the people has been greatly reduced and the people are healthy and prosperous.This terrifying amount of tax.

Although they all contributed a lot to the taxation, with the development of business, is the taxation so terrifying?

The taxation alone is more than the sum of all taxes in the year of Taizu.

"Well, how was the grain production last year?"

Li Chenghan nodded and asked Lin Ruhai.

"Your Majesty, in the first year of Shenwu, the grain production of our Great Wu has reached about 600 million dan.

At present, the grain production of our Great Wu is enough for the people to eat on a daily basis and to deal with all sudden wars and natural disasters.

It can even be said that with the current grain production of our Great Wu, even if the population of our Great Wu reaches 70 million, there will be no famine."

"On the contrary, if the population of our Great Wu reaches 70 million, about 600 million dan will be enough to support our Great Wu to maintain its current prosperity."

Lin Ruhai gave Li Chenghan a detailed answer based on his memory.

Li Chenghan listened and nodded repeatedly!

"Well, summon the Nanyue envoys to meet you."

After Li Chenghan got the answer he wanted, he directly summoned the Nanyue envoys to meet him.

However, Li Chenghan knew that grain production was greater than the sky, and the grain production in ancient times was itself small.

According to the population growth in the prosperous times, if Li Chenghan does not make preparations in advance, then the existing arable land in Dawu will not be able to meet the needs of the people in Dawu in the future.

However, Li Chenghan is not in a hurry to cultivate high-yield grain seeds.

Because Li Chenghan's current focus is on expanding territory.

Dawu will not have enough arable land in the future, so he will lay a large territory for his descendants in advance. (To read the novel, go to Flylu Novel Network!)

"Send the South Vietnamese delegation to the court!"

0Please send flowers

As Li Chenghan's order was issued, Xiao Guizi stepped forward and shouted to summon the South Vietnamese envoys to the court.

As Xiao Guizi's shrill voice fell, the eunuch outside the palace also shouted to convey the message of the South Vietnamese envoys to the court.

As the voice of the message gradually faded, the South Vietnamese envoys were led by a little eunuch into the Taihe Hall.

"South Vietnamese foreign ministers greet Emperor Da Wu!"

The South Vietnamese envoys entered the hall, and the eunuch who led the way withdrew.

The South Vietnamese envoys all bowed to Li Chenghan.

"How dare you! A small South Vietnamese envoy, why don't you kneel down to see His Majesty!"

When Xiao Guizi saw that the envoys did not kneel down to Li Chenghan, he immediately flew into a rage and pointed at the South Vietnamese delegation and shouted angrily.

"Hmph! The Great Wu repeatedly sent troops to invade our Nanyue, killing our Nanyue soldiers and civilians.

We came here to ask for punishment, but what did the Great Wu do? They didn't even arrange a post house for our Nanyue envoys to come to Beijing, and let the Nanyue envoys spend a huge amount of money to find a place to eat and live.

The Great Wu invaded our Nanyue and neglected our Nanyue envoys. This is what the Great Wu calls a country of etiquette."

NanyueThe envoy with the worst temper snorted and confronted Li Chenghan to ask him about his crime. []

"How dare you!"

"The little envoy of South Vietnam is disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"How can the imperial court of our great Wu be a place where you can be so presumptuous!"

"Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistakes and ask for forgiveness before His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, Lin Chong is willing to lead the troops to attack South Vietnam!"

Faced with the questioning, the civil and military officials were furious and scolded the South Vietnamese envoy.

"Hahaha! Good, good!"

"It's really a country of villains, and they have turned black and white upside down!"

"Very good! Very good!"

Li Chenghan was so angry that he laughed, and his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent as he gritted his teeth at the South Vietnamese delegation.

"Emperor of Great Wu, please watch your words! How dare you humiliate my South Vietnam like this!

Aren't you afraid that my South Vietnam's 200,000 troops will march north to split your Great Wu Lingnan and Dianzhou!"

Faced with Li Chenghan's ridicule, the envoy's face turned red and he pointed at Li Chenghan and shouted angrily.

Hearing the accusations and threats of the South Vietnamese envoy.

The civil and military officials became even more angry.

But Li Chenghan was really so angry at the South Vietnamese envoy that he laughed. .
