He was not very confident that he could fight against the Japanese pirates in Minzhou and wipe out the chaos caused by the Japanese pirates in Minzhou within three years.
But for the sake of the title, he felt that he could fight for it.
When the commander of the imperial guards heard Li Chenghan's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and stepped out to thank Li Chenghan for accepting the order.
Although Li Chenghan asked him, the commander of the imperial guards of the second rank, to serve as the deputy of Wang Ziteng, the third rank official!
And he was demoted, but this was the best outcome for him.
After all, he commanded 20,000 imperial guards, and at least half of them rebelled. For this huge mistake, Li Chenghan killed him and executed his entire family, and he had nothing to say.
Not to mention that he was only demoted now and could be given a heavy responsibility.
For this, the commander of the imperial guards, who had already been mentally prepared, was not only relieved, but also full of deep gratitude to Li Chenghan.
"Ministry of War!"
"Has the list of rewards for the meritorious imperial guards and Cao Shaoqin and others who participated in the redress been released?"
After Li Chenghan asked the two men to join the list again, he immediately asked the Minister of War.
"Your Majesty, the list of rewards has been released and submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
When asked, the Minister of War quickly came back to his senses and answered Li Chenghan.
"Yes!"
"From now on, all officials in the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple will be fined for three years!
And from now on, they will open their offices for self-examination like the Ministry of Revenue.
During this period, except for the Ministry of Revenue, the three judicial departments will not accept any cases!
If there are any cases, they will be directly handed over to the East Factory Office for trial!"
"In addition, my decree of amnesty also includes the exemption of city entry tax!
From now on, all cities in all parts of Dawu will no longer collect city entry tax silver!
Now if someone abuses his power and levies exorbitantly! They will all be punished for treason!"
Li Chenghan nodded, and then he spoke again and repeatedly about the taxation!
Hearing Li Chenghan's words, the civil and military officials present had complicated feelings, but they all saluted and responded.
Now they have lost the momentum of collective gaffes at the beginning.
The officials of the Three Judicial Departments felt uncomfortable but could do nothing about it.
They only thought that they could not wait any longer after returning, and they had to clean up their mess quickly.
"Your Majesty is a saint, but you have just ascended the throne, but you have no heir, which means that the foundation of the country is unstable!
So I dare to suggest that Your Majesty hold a selection to expand the harem, and leave a national heir for our Great Wu!"
The Minister of Rites stepped out and said to Li Chenghan with the excitement in his heart.
After listening for a long time, he felt that the current emperor had the appearance of a saint.
He loved the people like his own children and had the means and courage.
Even if the national treasury was in a tight financial situation, he would start anew with the people and free the people from taxation oppression.
Such a saint is a great blessing for the Great Wu now.
It is his blessing to be able to assist such a saint.
He will also have the opportunity to assist such a holy king and revive the Wu Kingdom.Create a prosperous era for the Great Wu.
Therefore, he must do his duty and help the emperor solve problems.
"Well, the country is in trouble now, and it is not easy to mobilize a large number of troops for the selection!"
"In this way, this selection will be mainly for the dignitaries of Shenjing City!
The time will be shortened to within one month."
Li Chenghan listened to the advice of the Minister of Rites, and his face improved a little.
He then pretended to think about it, and finally made a decision on the matter.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Hearing Li Chenghan's words, the minds of the civil and military officials present began to become active.
Because of the establishment of the East Factory, they didn't know what to do.
Now the emperor selects only from the dignitaries of Shenjing City!
In other words, the competitive pressure of this selection will be very small.
If there are girls of the right age and beauty in their families or clans who participate in the selection and are selected, then they will not only be relatives of the emperor, but their families will also be sublimated and become more wealthy.
What they do themselves will also have a life-saving trump card.
Especially if there is a girl in their family who is selected as a concubine and gives birth to a prince.
Thinking of all this, many ministers who were originally in panic welcomed hope in their hearts.
"Your Majesty is holy!"
The Minister of Rites was impressed by Li Chenghan's compassion for the people, and immediately bowed to Li Chenghan again.
In his heart, he secretly made up his mind that he would definitely check it himself during the first selection.
"Your Majesty is holy!"
With the Minister of Rites taking the lead, royal relatives, nobles, civil and military officials also saluted and praised Li Chenghan.
"In addition, there is one more thing! The new emperor should grant amnesty and open the imperial examination upon his accession to the throne!
I think of the hard work of studying hard in the world!
The hard work of traveling for the imperial examination! Therefore, 30% more students will be admitted in each examination of the imperial examination this time to show the saint's virtue!"
Li Chenghan raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then he spoke again to issue a new decree.
Li Chenghan's various decrees of amnesty today are actually not limited to the case of rectifying taxes.
In addition to rectifying taxes, Li Chenghan also wants to promote the prosperity of commerce and the flow of population.
In order to promote prosperity and increase revenue from commercial taxes, he also asked the East Factory to rectify the collusion between officials and businessmen to prevent businessmen from evading taxes.
At the same time, when he issued the decree of amnesty and tax reduction, he also mentioned that the city gate tax would also be exempted, the purpose of which was to allow ordinary people to have the opportunity to go to the city for a stroll.
Because when entering the city, Da Wu also needs to collect a sum of money for entering the city. Although the money is not much, it is enough to hurt the common people.
So many people are unwilling to enter the city unless it is necessary.
If the people do not enter the city, there is no other place to go, which also limits the population mobility.
With less population mobility, business will naturally decline.
So reducing taxes can give the people some spare money.
In the case of exempting the city entry tax, this can also increaseIncrease the mobility of the people and stimulate the prosperity of the economy and commerce.
At the same time, it can also create too many jobs, giving the people more opportunities to work and make a living.
Although Da Wu emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce, it is still possible for merchants to hire people to engage in some production, transportation, etc.
After all, the people who do business are not the people.
With this, coupled with his interlocking benevolent policies, it is difficult for Da Wu not to prosper.
And Li Chenghan increased the number of admissions in this special examination, in fact, he also wanted to reserve the number of candidate officials for Da Wu.
After all, when the East Factory investigates corrupt officials, the current number of candidate officials designated by the court will not be enough.
As for the imperial examination, it is to select talents for the country. Will admitting too many students be admitted to fill the numbers!
Li Chenghan doesn't care about this.
Because those who can participate in the imperial examination are all well-educated.
Each time, the number of people who take the imperial examinations will be as high as tens or even millions.
And the number of people admitted in each examination in various places is only about a hundred.
So even if 30% more students are admitted, it will not be said that too poor students will be admitted.
"Your Majesty! The number of students admitted in the imperial examinations is fixed!
If you rashly admit 30% more people, I'm afraid there will be some good and bad ones."
This time, the Minister of Rites did not praise Li Chenghan, but frowned and questioned Li Chenghan.
