Chapter 259 The terrifying power of the Emperor’s Conferring God Technique (error in the previous chapter)

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

After the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian left, Zhou Chen's lips revealed a hint of helplessness.

The affairs of the family and the state are the affairs of the world, and there are no private affairs in the emperor's family.

At this moment, Zhou Chen finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

Zhou Chen did not expect that right after the Queen Mother, the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian also began to report that he, the emperor, had taken in concubines to enrich his harem.

From now on, the civil and military ministers in the court might also do the same thing.

After all, everything in the court was on track, and the problem of the harem became prominent.

Zhou Chen can understand what the Eight Sages Wang Zhou Xian did.

As an emperor, he still has no queen and his harem is vacant.

This is indeed not the same thing.

But Zhou Chen has no idea of ​​having a concubine yet.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it later."

Zhou Chen put away these thoughts and began to practice the Emperor's Art of Conferring Gods.

The power of luck gathered in the Yangxin Hall and turned into a golden dragon and entered Zhou Chen's body.

As the golden dragons of luck merged into the body, the aura on Zhou Chen's body gradually began to rise.

I don't know how long it took.

The aura on Zhou Chen's body seemed to have reached a certain critical point.

There was a ‘click’ sound.

A soft sound came from Zhou Chen's body, and the shackles that had bound Zhou Chen for a period of time were immediately broken.

A mysterious and mysterious 'qi' began to circulate throughout Zhou Chen's body, connecting with the void in all directions.

After the powerful aura spread out from Zhou Chen's body.

In just a moment, this powerful momentum disappeared again.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, and his eyes burst out with bright lights.

The whole person's demeanor has also undergone considerable changes.

"Breakthrough."

"I finally broke through this shackles and cultivated to the first level of the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique."

Zhou Chen's mouth curved slightly.

Previously, Zhou Chen had been stuck at the late stage of the first level of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique for some time, but he had never been able to go any further.

It's like encountering a bottleneck, unable to break the shackles in the body, and break through from the late stage of the first level of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique to the state of perfection.

Zhou Chen knew that this was not actually a bottleneck, but the constraint of the emperor's lack of luck.

Now, I finally broke through this shackles and shackles, and cultivated myself into the first level of the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique.

Having cultivated to the first level of the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique, it means that Zhou Chen's strength has reached the peak of a first-grade grandmaster.

With such strength, he can be considered to be at the top among masters in Dazhou.

Of course, the Emperor's Art of Conferring Gods is different from ordinary cultivation methods, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

After practicing the first level of the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique, Zhou Chen had a feeling that as long as he had a thought, he could borrow the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty to bless his body!

You must know how huge and vast the national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty was?

Even now, the Great Zhou Dynasty is not in a state of fortune. It is no longer at its peak than in the past. It is at a low point. The fortune of the country is recovering, but it is not what ordinary people can imagine.

Even if Zhou Chen can only borrow one thousandth, or even one ten thousandth, of the national fortune...

But with the addition of such national luck, Zhou Chen's strength will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Even if it is a half-step heavenly being, or even all the half-step heavenly beings in Dazhou join forces, Zhou Chen will not be afraid at all if he has the fortune of the country.

Of course, Zhou Chen can only borrow the national destiny of the Great Zhou within the territory of the Great Zhou. If he goes outside the territory of the Great Zhou, he will be restricted.

"Is this the power of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique?"

Zhou Chen secretly guessed in his heart.

All this time, Zhou Chen has never felt anything special about practicing the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique. Apart from the fact that it requires the power of luck to practice, it is the same as other general cultivation methods to improve Zhou Chen's strength. Basically, there is nothing special about it.

.

But at this time, after Zhou Chen practiced for several months and reached the first level of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique, the Emperor's Conferring God Technique finally showed incredible abilities that were different from ordinary cultivation methods.

Borrowing a country’s luck?

How incredible this is.

The destiny of the country is elusive, but the emperor's art of conferring gods can transform the destiny of the country into reality, use the destiny of the country, and bless Zhou Chen.

How terrifying is this ability?

"This is only one thousandth or one ten thousandth of the national destiny, which can make me not afraid of all the half-step heavenly beings in the world. If it is one percent, one tenth, or even the entire national destiny, my strength...

…”

A hint of excitement appeared on Zhou Chen's face.

That's expectation.

Also a surprise.

"National destiny!"

With a thought, Zhou Chen activated the ability of the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique.

A force that seemed to be alive gathered in Zhou Chen's body.

"Is this the power of national destiny?"

Zhou Chen murmured in a low voice.

At this moment, Zhou Chen's national luck is rising, like a god and demon lord, sitting on the dragon chair, with a feeling of sweeping everything in his movements.

If a half-step celestial being is in the Yangxin Hall and sees Zhou Chen, he will definitely find that Zhou Chen is already connected to the destiny of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

This kind of connection is not a superficial link, but a perfect harmony, with nothing out of place.

Zhou Chen also seemed to have the feeling of looking down on the common people.

This is a bit scary.

"In this state, my physical fitness is slowly improving?"

Zhou Chen suddenly realized the changes in his body.

You must know that the Emperor's Art of Conferring Gods itself has the effect of strengthening one's physique, dispelling diseases and cleansing the marrow.

Now, being nourished by the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Chen's physical fitness has to change again...

"The emperor's art of conferring gods?"

"The skills taught by this system are indeed extraordinary."

Zhou Chen thought excitedly.

Originally, Zhou Chen thought that there was nothing special about the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique except that it required the power of luck to practice.

But now it seems that it was Zhou Chen who thought the emperor's art of conferring gods was ordinary.

This was just Zhou Chen's cultivation to the first level of the Emperor's Conferring the Gods Technique, and the Emperor's Conferring the Gods Technique revealed this terrifying ability.

If he breaks through the first level and enters the second level of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique, what kind of surprise will the Emperor's Conferring God Technique bring to him?

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen's face was filled with anticipation.

However, after Zhou Chen cultivated to the first level of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique, Zhou Chen felt that there seemed to be some suppression somewhere.

"It seems that it is not that easy to break through the second level of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique."

Zhou Chen frowned slightly and thought with twinkling eyes.

At this moment, the inner chamber guard came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Household Affairs is asking for an audience outside the palace."

"The minister of the Ministry of Announcement comes in."

Zhou Chen put away his thoughts, glanced at the house guard and said.

"According to the decree."

The house guard and factory guard bowed and retreated.

soon.

The Minister of Hubu walked into the Yangxin Hall.

The moment he saw Zhou Chen on the dragon chair, Minister Tobe was obviously stunned for a moment.

I don’t know why, but at the moment when he saw Zhou Chen on the dragon throne, Minister Tobe vaguely felt that His Majesty on the dragon throne seemed to be very different from before...

But the specific difference, the Minister of Household Affairs could not tell.

The Minister of Household Affairs just felt that at this moment, His Majesty on the Dragon Throne was more majestic than before. He was like a high-ranking Emperor of Heaven, and people couldn't help but worship him.

Zhou Chen didn't notice that it would have such an effect when combined with the national destiny.

"I have met your Majesty."

After being stunned for a moment, the Minister of Household Affairs quickly saluted Zhou Chen respectfully on the dragon throne.

I was a little scared, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough.

Otherwise, seeing His Majesty distracted and staring directly at His Majesty, this is a crime of ignoring the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, and he, the Minister of Household Affairs, will be punished.

"No gifts!"

Zhou Chen also saw the Minister of Household Affairs being distracted.

However, Zhou Chen didn't care.

Zhou Chen waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Minister of Household Affairs stood up, feeling somewhat fortunate that His Majesty did not care about his momentary distraction.

After the Minister of Hubu stood up, Zhou Chen glanced at the Minister of Hubu and asked, "Ai Qing came to see me in Yangxin Hall. What's the matter?"

The Minister of Household Affairs cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, since the cancellation of tariffs, our commercial tax revenue has been declining. In recent days, the commercial tax situation has suddenly increased sharply."

"This is the statistics of commercial tax revenue from the Ministry of Household Affairs in recent days."

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

The Minister of Household Affairs took out a memorial from his sleeve and held it in his hands.

Xun Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, was away, so all matters of the Ministry of Finance naturally fell on the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Therefore, all matters concerning the Ministry of Hubu were reported to the emperor Zhou Chen by the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu.

Upon seeing this, the inner chamber guard who was standing in the hall stepped forward to take the memorial from the hands of the Minister of Household Affairs, turned around and presented it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen unfolded the memorial, glanced at it casually, and said lightly, "I understand."

These were all within Zhou Chen's expectations.

Customs duties restricted the development of commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the customs tax is abolished, the price of the goods themselves will be reduced, the purchasing power of the people will be enhanced, the circulation of goods will be more frequent, and the population will be more concentrated in places of commerce.

In this way, business exchanges can be promoted and a virtuous cycle can be formed.

The economy of the entire region will be booming.

As a result, the city began to prosper.

Although the customs tax has been abolished, other commercial taxes have increased, such as the sale of goods. Moreover, such a move has virtually improved the status of merchants and allowed more people to do business. Commercial taxes will increase after a certain period of time.

, it will only improve linearly.

It is definitely more than enough to supplement the previously canceled customs duties.

The abolition of customs duties was a concept of the Economic and Trade Experimental Zone in the previous life. It was precisely based on this concept that it greatly promoted the prosperity of business and even began to radiate around, forming a certain economic belt...

As for the cancellation of customs tax in Dazhou, in a short period of time, the tax revenue will indeed decrease.

But as time goes by, as business prospers and merchandise sales continue, other commercial taxes will gradually increase.

This is also the reason why business taxes are suddenly soaring these days.

Moreover, the abolition of customs duties is not just about taxation.

As the status of merchants increases, more people will go into business, which will free up some land.

When these lands are returned to the hands of the imperial court, they can be redistributed to other people, which will greatly alleviate the problem of land annexation.

The Minister of Household Affairs could not see this.

Therefore, even without reporting it to the Ministry of Finance Minister, Zhou Chen also knew that after a certain period of time, commercial taxes would increase dramatically.

The Minister of Household Affairs saw that Emperor Zhou Chen's expression did not change at all regarding the sudden increase in commercial taxes, and he became more and more in awe.

In the opinion of the Minister of Household Affairs, Emperor Zhou Chen might have anticipated that after the customs tax was cancelled, commercial tax revenue would not fall but would skyrocket.

otherwise.

Your Majesty canceled the customs tax for no reason and why did you change the commercial tax?

Cancel playing?

If His Majesty hadn't been strategizing and having unique vision, how could he have made such a decision?

Thinking of this, Minister Hube felt a little ashamed.

Unfortunately for him, he had thought of persuading His Majesty to withdraw his intention to cancel the tariffs.

The Minister of Household Affairs has always believed that Emperor Zhou Chen was still too young and did not understand the form of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so canceling tariffs was simply nonsense.

But the Minister of Household Affairs never expected that after the tariffs were cancelled, the changed commercial taxes not only supplemented the revenue from the previous customs taxes, but also skyrocketed.

This made the Minister of Hubu understand that it was he, the Minister of Hubu, who really didn't understand the Zhou Dynasty's form. On the contrary, Zhou Chen, the emperor, was the one who understood the Zhou Dynasty's form best and could strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away.

"Then I will retire first."

The Minister of Household Affairs came to the palace to report the sudden increase in commercial taxes.

Now, since the memorial about the sudden increase in commercial taxes has been submitted, there is no need for the Minister of Household Affairs to stay in Yangxin Hall.

"Go for it!"

Zhou Chen waved his hand.

The Minister of Household Affairs bowed and exited the Yangxin Hall.

After the Minister of Revenue left, Zhou Chen glanced at the memorial in his hand and put it aside casually without paying too much attention.

Because Zhou Chen knew that this was just the beginning, and this data would increase dramatically in the future.

Paying attention to these data now does not have much practical significance.

After Zhou Chen put down the memorial in his hand, he slowly stood up and walked outside the Yangxin Hall.

Zhou Chen looked up at the blue sky with deep eyes.

Now, changes to business taxation are already bearing fruit.

Next, land and other aspects of restructuring will slowly see results.

The long-standing backlog of shortcomings in Dazhou are being cleared one by one, until all the shortcomings in Dazhou are swept away.

The Great Zhou Dynasty returned to its peak.

And, it is better than before.

By that time, relying on the great national fortune of Zhou Gengsheng, he should be able to break through to the second level of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique!

Zhou Chen thought to himself, his eyes looking expectant.

Zhou Chen has already seen the first level of the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique, and it can be described as terrifying.

Zhou Chen is looking forward to the second level of the Emperor's Conferring God Technique and what kind of surprises it will bring to him once it is completed.

However, according to Zhou Chen's estimation, the second level of the Emperor's Divine Conferment Technique should involve the secrets of heaven and man.
