Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Immortal Capital, Immortal Palace, Great Court Meeting!

The Immortal Emperor sat in his seat and looked at the ministers below. Those ministers were noisy and talking about trivial matters. The Immortal Emperor could not help but sneer. He sat there quietly. Seeing those ministers arguing there, they never spoke.

He Tuizhi and Sima Lang have been paying attention to the Immortal Emperor. They can't see clearly the Immortal Emperor's expression, but they can feel a cold breath from the Immortal Emperor's body. To be honest, they raised taxes in the first place. At that time, they really did not expect that there would be such benefits. When they discovered such benefits, they would work harder to promote this law. This was a good opportunity for them to strengthen themselves. How could they let it go? .

However, the Immortal Emperor suddenly went to court today, which gave He Tuizhi and Sima Lang a bad premonition. They felt that the Immortal Emperor suddenly went to court today just to raise taxes for them.

After a long time when the ministers had finished arguing, the Immortal Emperor finally said: "My lords, I have heard about something. Why don't you come and discuss it? Recently, the two prime ministers on the left and right proposed it. My lords agree, Is there anything wrong with the law on raising taxes? I heard that countless small businessmen went bankrupt because of this, but I don’t know if it’s true?”

As soon as the Immortal Emperor's words came out, the entire hall could hear it. Everyone knew that this matter was true, because they were the biggest beneficiaries of this matter. How could they not be clear about it? Now the Immortal Emperor said it directly. , but they didn’t know what to say.

The Immortal Emperor looked at the people below, and then said in a deep voice: "If those small businessmen go bankrupt, there will be no way to collect taxes here in the Immortal World. Without tax revenue, the treasury will be empty. If the treasury has no money, what will be used to support it?" Those armies? Without an army, what can we do against ShadowClan? Have you ever thought about this question?"

No one spoke, everyone lowered their heads. The Immortal Emperor looked at them and suddenly said loudly: "Tell me, what should we do about this matter?"

He Tuizhi stood up, bowed to the Immortal Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I did not expect that this would be the result. Originally, I wanted to increase revenue for the national treasury, but I did not expect that it would be like this. , But Your Majesty, the rule here in our immortal world has always been to practice law every three days. Even if this law is unreasonable, it must wait until three years before it can be abolished. In these three years, we We can only bite the bullet and endure it. If this law is abolished now, the majesty of our fairy court will be gone."

The other ministers also saluted the Immortal Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

The Immortal Emperor looked at their looks and snorted coldly: "I know that the law is practiced once every three years, so now I have a proposal that will not only collect more taxes, but may even collect more than before." At this point , the Immortal Emperor paused for a moment, but his words made everyone stunned, looking at him with some confusion, not knowing what he meant.

The Immortal Emperor glanced at them, and then said: "The reason why Immortal Court cannot collect taxes is because there are countless monks who do not need to pay taxes, so I am ready to abolish this law. From today on, no matter whether you are Monk, you have to pay taxes, what do you think?"

As soon as the Immortal Emperor's words came out, the hall was quiet at first, as if there was no sound of breathing, and then it was like a volcano erupting. With a bang, everyone was in chaos. They were all too aware of the power of the Immortal Emperor's decree. If this law is passed, then all of them will have to pay taxes. Isn't this cutting off their flesh? How could they agree.

He Tuizhi and Sima Lang's faces were also very ugly. They really didn't expect that the Immortal Emperor would come up with such a move, but they also knew very well that this decree was impossible to pass. Look at the hall people will know.

"Quiet!" A loud shout came from Liu Zhong. This voice immediately overwhelmed everyone's voices. Everyone fell silent. Then a minister immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, this matter Absolutely not. My monk has been fighting against the Shadow Clan for the sake of the fairy world. If we still collect taxes from the monks, it will chill the hearts of the monks in the world. And the monks are the foundation of the fairy world. If those monks, and If our immortal world is separated from its heart and virtue, then our immortal world will never have peace."

Others also said the same thing. Suddenly, everyone in the main hall was furious, as if they suddenly became loyal ministers, honest ministers, and straight ministers.

The Immortal Emperor looked at them with no expression at all on his face. Si Yilang came out and said: "Your Majesty, this decree cannot be repealed. Our Immortal Realm is still in a hostile relationship with the Shadow Clan. Once it is repealed, With this decree, we must collect taxes from all monks. By that time, those monks will definitely not be working hard to deal with the Shadow Clan. In that case, our fairy world will be in danger. Please take back your order."

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!" Countless ministers saluted the Immortal Emperor and shouted loudly.

The Immortal Emperor glanced at these people, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone disagrees, so I won't say anything, but you should also know how much damage this tax increase law will have to the Immortal World. You just said that monks are the foundation of the immortal world, and I agree with that, but similarly, monks also need ordinary people, and ordinary people also need to eat, so I feel that this time our tax rate increase should only target businesses. For farmers, we don’t want to raise taxes. If farmers also want to raise taxes, then we will probably have no food to eat.”

When those ministers heard that the Immortal Emperor no longer wanted to abolish the tax exemption for monks, but only asked them not to collect taxes from farmers, they immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, you are wise." In their view, farmers do not have much money. If you don’t collect taxes from them, just don’t collect taxes from them. It’s not a big deal. It’s better than asking them to pay taxes. Even He Tuizhi and Sima Lang didn’t object, so the Immortal Emperor’s proposal was directly Passed.

The Immortal Emperor glanced at these people, with a sarcastic smile on his face. Now he really discovered that these people are really short-sighted, but this is fine, as long as they don't collect taxes from those farmers, then in the Immortal World It can also ensure basic stability. If there is a chance in the future, they will just deal with them.

The meeting ended in a peaceful atmosphere. After returning to the harem and entering his study, the Immortal Emperor sat down and snorted coldly: "Look at how they look. I'm going to collect taxes from them." , each one seemed like someone wanted to cut their flesh. As soon as they said they would not collect their taxes, they immediately burst into laughter. Such people turned out to be high-ranking officials in my fairy world. I was really blind to let them do this. They are officials.”

Wei Xiaode and Liu Zhong didn't respond. The Immortal Emperor calmed down his emotions, and then said: "Two companions, how did you do what you were asked to do?"

Liu Zhong said: "Your Majesty, Lao Nu has already begun to take action. The Lianjie Army has begun to expand its army. At the same time, it has also begun to set up trading houses in all the cities we can control."

Wei Xiaode also said: "Your Majesty, Lao Nu has also made preparations. We have also begun to set up trading companies in various cities. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The Immortal Emperor nodded and said: "Okay, this matter is very important. You two must keep an eye on it. As long as we survive these three years, we can find a way to abolish that law. Three years, three years." Ah, I really don’t know what will happen in these three years, I really hope these three years can pass quickly.”

Neither Wei Xiaode nor Liu Zhong spoke. The Immortal Emperor waved his hand. The two of them bowed to the Immortal Emperor and then exited the study. After the two left, the Immortal Emperor thought for a while and then said to the little eunuch beside him. "Go, Zhao Hai, the minister of the Ministry of Propaganda and War, comes to see me." The young eunuch responded and immediately went to call for someone.

Zhao Hai is still staying at the Ministry of War. He did not go to court today. He doesn't like going to court. There are too many rules. Moreover, he is an alien above the court. When he goes to court, everyone will stare at him. He, he didn't like it, so he simply didn't go to court, but took a leave of absence. In fact, no one cared whether he went to court or not.

He also saw the warrior Ying coming back from the court, but he didn't care and still stayed in his room. At this time, a young eunuch came to the Ministry of War and said that the Immortal Emperor wanted to see him. Although Zhao Hai He didn't know what the Immortal Emperor meant, but he still followed the little eunuch and flew to the Immortal Palace to see the Immortal Emperor.

After entering the Immortal Emperor's study and giving him a courtesy, the Immortal Emperor said: "Sit down." Zhao Hai responded and then stood up straight. The Immortal Emperor looked at him and said: "Zhao Aiqing, I chatted with you yesterday. After that, I found that I benefited a lot, so I called you here again today, just to talk to you. At today’s court meeting, the law not to increase agricultural taxes has been passed, but if you want to change that I’m afraid the tax increase decree will be implemented in three years’ time, what do you think about this?”

What the Immortal Emperor said was true. He really wanted to ask Zhao Hai for his opinion. He really regarded Zhao Hai as one of his own, so he asked Zhao Hai about this matter.

After Zhao Hai heard what the Immortal Emperor said, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think it will not be easy to abolish this law after three years."

"Oh? Why?" The Immortal Emperor looked at Zhao Haidao.

"Your Majesty, those big families have already benefited from this matter, how can they agree to abolish this law? And the heads of those big families are all officials in the government now, they will not agree to the abolition of this law. However, I feel that after three years, Your Majesty can take advantage of this matter."

"Oh? What do you think?" The Immortal Emperor looked at Zhao Hai. He really wanted to hear how to make use of this matter.

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I think we can propose that those who are officials in the court will be exempted from tax, and those who are not in the court should pay taxes normally. In this way, if they agree, then they will treat those who are not in the court. The monks who were officials in the court were all offended. If they still disagreed, they would have to pay some price. Otherwise, His Majesty would insist on removing this decree. If His Majesty insisted on removing this decree, then I'm afraid those ministers won't be able to pass this decree down, right?" After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he looked at the Immortal Emperor with a smile in his eyes.
