After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Li Chenan was drinking at Jinshui Tower.

A large table of people gathered together drinking.

Although Guo Shanyi had gotten to know him in Changle Palace at noon, he was the emperor of Ningguo after all.

They had never been in the company of a king before, but they knew that being in the company of a king was like being in the company of a tiger.

Except for Su Mingtang and Chen Dingmao, Guo Shanyi and others were still cautious.

Sit carefully.

Speak carefully.

Also drink carefully.

Li Chenan didn't care.

The imperial power is supreme, so it is inevitable that these merchants are afraid.

It is currently impossible to eliminate the influence of imperial power or make these people ignore the existence of imperial power.

It won't be possible for a long time to come.

It is the supreme authority established by rulers through various means over thousands of years.

It is an unbreakable shackle rooted in everyone's heart.

But just as they were drinking and drinking, and Zheng Wang was excitedly talking about the excitement of the battle in the Desolate Country, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Only then did these merchants realize that Ningguo’s army was invincible in the land of Huangguo!
This was something they never expected!
How could the Ning soldiers have such strong fighting power when Ji Tai was in power? !

Even if it was the Shenwu Army or the Chiyan Army, if they entered the Wild Country and fought against the cavalry of the Wild People, the outcome would be unpredictable.

But the two armies sent by the emperor were so terrifying!
A Black Armor Battalion of 500 men annihilated the arrogant Third Eagle Cavalry of the barbarians, occupied the Kushi Fort, and even slaughtered cattle and sheep in the Kushi Fort to celebrate the New Year!

An army of more than 3,000 people actually wiped out the most powerful Sky Eagle Army of the Wilderness Country just outside the Kushi Fort!

There were more than ten people who actually brought fireworks and entered the Great Desert City, the capital of the Deserted Country, as if there was no one there!

How arrogant this is!
But it was this kind of arrogance that made them feel an indescribable sense of pride in their hearts!

Ningguo, how many years have you been swallowing your anger?
Ning Ren, who was originally extremely stubborn, had kept his mouth shut and surrendered silently for how many years?

And now, Ningguo actually has such a powerful army!

These troops also possess such strong combat effectiveness!
This immediately made these businessmen straighten their backs.

Even his eyes were emitting a scorching light at this moment.

This may be the reason why the emperor said that he would not let them suffer injustice in any country.

The transformation of Ningguo’s army was of course all thanks to this young emperor!
Chen Dingmao stood up, took three steps back, bowed, and even his voice was choked with sobs:
"Your Majesty, I... on behalf of all the Chen family members in Yingzhou, I would like to thank Your Majesty!"

He stood up straight, raised his hands to the sky, and was extremely excited:
"Heaven has eyes... and sent the emperor to Ningguo,"

"This is our blessing, this is the blessing of the Ning people!"

He looked at Guo Shanyi and the others, stroked his long beard and said sternly:
"We are merchants from Ning State, originally of low status, but now, thanks to the emperor's openness, we are able to drink with him at the same table..."

"The Emperor values ​​us so much, we should also make due contributions to the prosperity of Ningguo's business!"

Guo Shanyi and the others stood up at the same time, took three steps back, and bowed to Li Chenan:
"We will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations, set an example for Ningguo merchants, and support Ningguo's tax revenue!"

Li Chenan smiled slightly.

He also stood up and walked over to shake hands with them one by one.

Su Xiaoxiao, who had changed her clothes, stood aside. She looked at Li Chenan's back with a burning light in her eyes!

She felt a little bit of hatred in her heart.

Hate myself!
I hate that my period comes at such a bad time!
He is a unique emperor!

The one and only emperor in the world for thousands of years!
You can't feel the majesty of an emperor from him, but you can see the respect that everyone has for him.

Or

worship!

She let out a long sigh in her heart.

The moon is full tonight. We are perfect.

Will leave tomorrow.

We will never meet again in this life.

I will use this perfect body to protect that full moon for the rest of my life.

Even if it is a private plot left for him.

Li Chenan picked up the wine glass and handed it to Chen Dingmao and others one by one, saying with a smile:
"Let's not say those nonsense words."

"The new tax law is being drafted and will probably be introduced next year."

"I will not hide it from you. Agricultural taxes will be gradually abolished, and commercial taxes will inevitably increase."

"But you don't have to worry about anything. I will personally participate in the drafting of the tax law and will invite some merchants to participate together with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice."

"The goal is to find a reasonable tax rate that allows businessmen to ensure profits from their operations and maintain the operation of the country."

“This is a very cautious thing to do!”

"If you are in Kyoto at that time, you will also be invited to participate."

"The new tax law must clearly define the various tax items and tax rates and make it a permanent law of the country..."

“Permanent means that once implemented, there will be no changes.”

"The benefit of this is that the tax rate will remain stable and will never change overnight, which will also reassure you businessmen!"

"The state will not increase taxes on you because of financial difficulties, and of course, the state will not give you preferential treatment because of financial prosperity."

"Taxes, I reiterate!"

"Its core is to take from the people and use it for the people."

“It must not become a means for the state to amass wealth.”

“There are still many things that the country needs to do, such as building roads to facilitate business and travel, building public schools so that the people’s children can receive education, and opening more clinics to solve the medical problems of the people, etc.”

"I have a lot to do, and all of these things require money."

"You pay taxes according to the rules, which is the greatest support for me!"

"Therefore...I should thank you!"

"This glass of wine, I toast to you all!"

The Emperor toasted the merchant...

This is probably the first time in history!
Chen Dingmao and others remembered Li Chenan's heartfelt words, and were so excited by the emperor's toast that they spoke incoherently.

"I...I...willing to share the emperor's worries...!"

Drink a glass of wine.

Everyone was full of admiration for Li Chenan.

Wen Zhuyu stroked his short beard. He knew that from this glass of wine, Ningguo’s business would officially set sail!
And one year later, the implementation of Ningguo’s new tax law will also be smooth!
This kid,
Wen Zhuyu was full of admiration. He boasted that he had read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, but looking back now, he was still a world away from him!
Just then, the Minister of Works Huang Xiumu walked in.

He stood in front of Li Chenan and smiled happily:
"Your Majesty, I am ready."

"What time is it now?"

"There is still half an hour until midnight."

"it is good!"

Li Chenan looked at Chen Dingmao and the others again, "Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and the front and back courtyards of Yihong Building are holding a Lantern Festival riddle activity."

"I have also arranged a show for you that you have never seen before."

"This is another good business that I mentioned to you this afternoon."

"Come on, let's move to the water pavilion."

"Go and see the riddles and poems that the talented scholars have answered."

"At midnight...everyone please come and see the world's first fireworks show!" (End of this chapter)
