Chapter 2883 Reconciled for the sake of money
Bai Yixiu spoke so hard that his mouth was dry. Seeing that there was tea on the table, he picked it up and took a sip.
The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor listened carefully and thought.
After drinking, Bai Yixiu continued, "Third, land annexation is very serious, and the people are displaced too much. Many people can only sell themselves as slaves. The slaves have no houses or property, and they don't pay taxes. The wealthy families have real estate and property, but most of them are slaves, so they don't have to pay money. The number of hidden land will continue to increase. If the weather is good, it's okay, once a disaster occurs, it will not be timely relief, and rebellions will emerge everywhere, shaking the foundation of the country.
Finally, the Supreme Emperor was kind to the court officials, but during this year's famine, the emperor was so anxious that he was furious. However, many officials who owed the treasury money to the national treasury were rich, and they were not anxious or impatient, and did not make it anxious about the emperor and the Supreme Emperor.
These four points are all things that Weichen can think of and are willing to change. If the Supreme Emperor thinks that Weichen is wrong, or these four points are not worth worrying, he will directly cut off Weichen's head."
Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, the emperor could no longer sit still, so he ran to the Supreme Emperor, took the two pieces of paper from the Supreme Emperor, and looked at it with a glance.
The emperor's eyes were red, the national treasury was empty, and these noble officials were very wealthy, and he was almost madly poor. The queen also took the lead in reducing the congestion in the harem. "Lin Aiqing, can you complete these four things?"
Bai Yixiu looked at the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor and said, "I can't guarantee it. After all, I don't know if my head will be gone one day. Who can see what happens in the future!"
The Supreme Emperor was so angry that he pointed at Lin Ruhai, "You have such a stubborn temper, exactly like your father. Do you really think I can't cut off your head?"
The emperor was anxious, really afraid that his somewhat confused father would chop Lin Ruhai's head, and he wanted to get a tax of 20 million taels of silver through Lin Ruhai!
"Don't calm your anger, your father's anger." The emperor hurriedly said, "It's all for the great Zhou dynasty. Lin Aiqing, even if you have talent, you can't be arrogant because of your talent. Why don't you apologize for your father!"
Bai Yixiu bowed and bowed, "Please ask the Supreme Emperor to atone for his sins, but the empress dowager is rude."
When the Supreme Emperor saw the emperor pleading with him, Lin Ruhai softened his attitude and took the opportunity to step down and said, "You said these things. If you fail to complete them, you will chop your head."
Bai Yixiu replied respectfully: "When you go back to the emperor, I will do my best. If these four things can be accomplished, there will inevitably be the prosperity of Jing'an governance. At that time, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and will not pick up the remains of the road, and the Great Zhou Dynasty will flourish."
When the Supreme Emperor heard the rule of "Jing'an", he was shocked. "Jing" refers to him, Emperor Jing of Zhou, and "An" represents the current Emperor An of Zhou.
The emperor was also very excited, "Father, if you are not assured that your son can manage this country well, then your son asks you to go to court together and put all the memorials on your side to approve them. Don't worry about internal friction between us father and son! Let's work together for the governance of Jing'an!"
The Supreme Emperor rubbed his eyebrows and said unhappily: "I have given the throne to you. If you don't want to do it, I will be the emperor for your other brothers. I am old, have poor health, and have poor energy. You can do whatever you want in the government. However, if you have something you are not sure about, I can help you with difficulty."
