"call……"

It was not until the figures of the two dukes slowly disappeared from their sight that the emperor slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the princes and princesses playing in the square in front of the hall again.

At present, as far as future generations are concerned, he naturally has completely lost his worries. In his upright years, he has already had eight princes and four princesses. Their descendants are no longer a problem.

It is predictable that in the future, his descendants will inevitably become more and more.

Perhaps with Daheng's conquest of the outside world, with the continued destiny of Daheng's national destiny, and with his expected layout of his descendants, his bloodline, the surname of Heng Li, will also spread throughout the world, and even throughout the world...

All kinds of thoughts flashed in my mind, but the emperor became increasingly trance. Are these what he wanted?

The emperor's always firm eyes were also a little dimmed a little.

"Your Majesty, the tax book has been clearly counted."

As the emperor was thinking, Wang Wu walked quickly and bowed to the emperor.

Under the influence of this voice, the emperor's thoughts slowly returned to reality. He took the account book handed over by Wang Wu, and turned around and headed into the hall.

Seeing this, Wang Wu also followed the emperor and walked into the Ganqing Palace.

The emperor walked into the side hall, and the eunuchs on the side immediately stepped forward, took off the fox fur that the emperor had worn, and the eunuch palace maid brought hot tea and charcoal furnaces, as for the emperor.

As soon as he opened the memorial, the emperor seemed to remember something: "It's cold outside, I'll send you all the princes and daughters back to the palace."

"I'll go now."

Wang Wu immediately took the order and left.

The emperor's eyes were once again frozen on the tax summary account book of the third year of Zhaowu.

Although there were predictions, after seeing this summary number, the emperor's expression became much more serious.

The third year of Zhaowu was undoubtedly a special year. Since the end of the second year of Zhaowu, a major tax case was launched. Until now, it has not yet come to an end. Just a preliminary statistics, there are no less than one million people involved in this major tax case. Of course, a considerable number of them fled to Jiangnan after detecting the news.

But despite this, the number of people involved in this major tax case, and the major cases of major dynasties in ancient and modern times, is also the most popular in history!

Of course, although the number of people involved in the case has not been found in history, and the convicted persons are rare in history, but the actual number of people killed is a very small number.

The vast majority of the arrested people involved in the case, as long as they are not guilty of being extremely evil, the final result will be at most exiled to Liaodong.

After all, the ultimate goal of this major tax case is not to investigate taxes, or even to investigate taxes, which is just a result that comes with the final goal.

The ultimate goal of the tax case is to crack down on local gentry and landlords, destroy the traditional order in various places, and provide support for the establishment of a new order.

The blow to traditional orders in various places will undoubtedly naturally affect the taxes of the court.

In the third year of Zhaowu, the total tax revenue of Daheng and grain were only 12.32 million stones, which was less than 2 million stones compared with the second year of Zhaowu, which was in chaos!

The words of silver have increased compared to the second year of Zhaowu, from more than 9.3 million taels in the second year of Zhaowu to 12.68 million taels!

After watching the total amount of tax money and grain for a long time, the emperor let out a long sigh. Obviously, the total amount of tax money and grain fully proved the special form changes of Daheng in the third year of Zhaowu.

The eyes were flowing, and specific tax numbers came into view, and the eyes were finally frozen in two special places, Liaodong and Ningbo Maritime Shipping.

The tax reform of Daheng was officially started in August of the third year of Zhaowu. At present, it is obviously still a while before it is fully implemented. Therefore, the overall reform has no impact on the tax revenue of the third year of Zhaowu.

However, Liaodong and Ningbo Maritime Mansions, these two reform pioneers, have indeed reflected the advantages after the reform.

In a place in Liaodong, the total tax revenue of Zhaowu in the third year, grain: 2.32 million shi, silver: 1.98 million taels.

With a population of less than one million, it contributed one-sixth of Daheng’s total tax!

The total tariff revenue of Ningbo Maritime and Zhaowu in the three years was as high as 2.93 million taels!

Looking at the tax revenues in these two places, the emperor rarely showed joy, but soon, when he saw the expense figure below, the joy between the emperor's expression also instantly disappeared without a trace.

In the three years of Zhaowu, disaster relief consumed 412 stones of grain and 2.65 million taels of silver. The food for disaster relief alone accounted for one-third of the total taxed grain!

According to his instructions, disaster relief has always been about labor-for-relief, that is, local governments organize disaster victims, repair roads, repair city defenses, or organize land reclamation...

If there is excess land, it will be distributed, rations and agricultural tools as in Liaodong.

This is also why disaster relief also consumes more than 2 million taels of silver!

In a country, the food consumed by disaster relief accounts for one-third of the total annual tax revenue, which is obviously an extremely dangerous figure.

After all, for a country, disaster relief should be only a very special situation, rather than as in Daheng today, disaster relief consumption has almost become the norm of finance every year, and it grows every year, and the more relief it will be!

The emperor put down this account book and said in a deep voice: "Go and take the natural disasters in various places this year!"

The eunuch on the side immediately trotted to the main hall, picked up a book from the emperor's desk, and trotted back and handed it to the emperor.

Looking at the shocking reports of disasters, the emperor's expression became more and more serious.

Although he had a rough idea of ​​the current natural disaster, when the details of the disasters this year were summarized together, the emperor could not help but tremble.

In the third year of Zhaowu, almost half of the north were under the influence of drought!

The only difference is the severity of the drought.

But... the emperor has also struggled at the bottom, how could he not know that in this era, there is actually not much difference between the seriousness of the drought.

In this era, there was no perfect water conservancy system as in later generations, and the crops in this era were not as excellent as in later generations, coupled with high tenancy rents and a fixed small peasant economy.

Under all this, ordinary people of this era have no ability to withstand natural disasters... or in other words, they have no ability to resist natural disasters!

If there is a slight natural disaster, it will be a scenario where crops are under harvest or even crops are not harvested.

No matter which of these two situations, it obviously must be unquestionable disaster relief!

Otherwise, it will inevitably evolve from a disaster victim to a refugee, or become a civil unrest!
