Chapter 17 Shangguan Qiushuang
The red light on Li Chengze's head gradually turned into lavender.

"I would like to obey His Majesty's will."

Xia Tian patted him on the shoulder: "Don't let me down."

After speaking, he turned and left the inner hall.

Back in the front hall, Xia Tian, ​​Xiao Xuanzi and Shangguan Qiushuang left Chengtian Mansion.

"Miss Shangguan, where are you going?"

Shangguan Qiushuang replied with a smile: "I was planning to go home just now, and I happened to see that scene. I was worried about causing trouble to my father, so I didn't dare to stand up."

"How could this cause trouble to Lord Shangguan? You are doing a good deed."

"My father said that there are many factions in the imperial court. If I am not allowed to offend people at will, I may offend people from one of the factions."

"It's okay, come to me if you have trouble in the future, and I will help you solve it."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. A gentleman's words are hard to follow."

"That household member Uiro is said to be the household secretary, you won't be in trouble, will you?"

"No, the emperor is wise and mighty, and has people in his heart. I do this kind of thing because I have been influenced by the emperor."

"Miss Shangguan, get in the car, I'll let you go back."

"No, I'll just walk back by myself."

"It's okay, miss Shangguan, you're welcome, get in the car."

Shangguan Qiushuang couldn't beat him, and got into the carriage, which was much more luxurious than her family's carriage.

The two sat inside, and Xia Tian handed her a piece of fruit: "Miss Shangguan, try this fruit, it's a good thing in the palace."

Shangguan Qiushuang took it and took a bite.

"Master Huang, you have become the commander of the imperial guards at such a young age. You are really amazing."

"You can just call me Mr. Huang, we are about the same age."

"How about that, you are my father's colleague."

"Lord Shangguan is a senior in my eyes, it's fine for you and me to be of the same generation."

Shangguan Qiu's pretty face showed a smile: "Then I won't be polite, Mr. Huang, where are you from?"

"I'm from Tianshan County. When I was a few years old, I learned martial arts with my master, and later joined the Imperial Guard."

If you want to get a girlfriend, first you have to be able to lie without blushing.

"Young Master Huang, your martial arts should be very good too, right?"

"Of course, no one in the Forbidden Army is my opponent, even Commander Xie is not my opponent."

Shangguan Qiu's beautiful eyes widened: "I heard that Commander Xie is highly skilled in martial arts and is the number one master in the university."

"He has just reached the rank nine martial artist. The former number one master was General Manager Liu. He was the pinnacle of rank nine, but he died a few days ago. Now I am the number one in the ranks."

"Young Master Huang is really amazing."

Shangguan Qiushuang's beautiful eyes were full of admiration.

"Miss Qiu Shuang has won the award, she is only ninth grade. The master said that below the third-rate martial artist is not a first-rate martial artist."

"Young Master Huang's master must be a master outside the world."

"Well, my master is very powerful, but I don't know what his specific strength is."

The two chatted happily along the way.

Xia Tian's mind and language are not comparable to people in this world.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of Shangguan Fei's mansion.

"Mr. Huang, I'm home, thank you for taking me back."

"Qiu Shuang, you're welcome, I'll take you down."

Good guy, after a while, even Qiu Shuang has called out.

Shangguan Qiushuang was a little embarrassed, but she didn't refuse such a friendly title.

When getting off the carriage, Xia Tian took the initiative to support her arm, and did not make excessive movements, which made Shangguan Qiu's pretty face blush slightly.

This kind of action was a very common gentleman's action in his previous life.

But in this world it's a little more intimate.

According to scientific research, the more times you touch a woman, the easier it is for her to fall in love with you.

These knowledge points are the secrets of picking up girls that Xia Tian painstakingly studied in her previous life.

"Master Huang, I'm going back first."

Shangguan Qiushuang's delicate and pretty face was a little reddish, and said softly.

Xia Tian smiled: "Go, I will come to play with you some other day when I am free."

"Um"

She replied softly, turned around and ran into the mansion.

Seeing her reaction, Xia Tian smiled.

Girls in this world are so easy to deceive.

He hummed softly: "I'm not a scumbag, I just have the world in my heart and want to give every girl a home."

"My lord, shall we go back to the palace?"

"Go back to the palace."

Daxia Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Xia Tian was processing the memorial: "Is Xie An back?"

"Return to Your Majesty, not yet."

"Call Shangguan Chengye here."

A few minutes later, Shangguan Chengye came to the imperial study.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

"Shangguan Shangshu doesn't need to be too polite. I have restarted the Wuyingwei Information Network. You first allocate 100 million copper coins to Shangguanfei."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"How much property is currently in the treasury?"

"130 taels of gold, 1000 taels of silver, 2000 copper coins, a total of 320 taels, other properties vary."

Xia Tian was a little surprised: "Only this little money?"

The Great Xia Dynasty has been established for more than 300 years, and the treasury only has so little money.

Originally, the national treasury was quite sufficient before, but his cheap dad was extravagant and built various palaces, which cost a lot.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the national treasury is now empty. If there is a big war, I am afraid it will be difficult to support it."

"How much is the annual tax?"

"About 800 million guan."

Ten thousand guan is 1 taels of silver.

Xia Tian frowned slightly: "I know, step back."

After processing the memorial, he said to Xiao Xuanzi, "Go and get the books on taxation policy."

Soon Xiao Xuanzi brought the things.

Xia Tian took a closer look and found a relatively big problem. The land tax of the dynasty is relatively high, but the commercial tax is very little.

This is totally unreasonable.

Merchants earn more money, but their taxes are less.

The income of poor peasants from farming is not high, but they are taxed the most.

He was thinking hard about the tax situation of the country in his previous life.

Some tax policies can be used for reference.

While thinking, he is also writing down, there needs to be improvement and so on.

A good business environment is also very important. Only when the business environment is good can business flourish.

It is also necessary to rectify the administration of officials to prevent lower-level officials from persecuting businessmen.

"Your Majesty, someone from the Queen Mother's side just now told you to come over for dinner."

Xia Tian put down the pen, and then went to the Palace of Compassion.

In the Palace of Compassion, Chai Jing was chatting with her daughter with a smile on her face.

"Heaven has come."

"I have seen the emperor."

Xia Tian touched her head and said: "Silly Linger, we are all one family, so you don't need to salute me."

"The queen mother said this is etiquette."

"What kind of etiquette does a family use?"

"Tian'er heard that you left the palace again this afternoon? Why are you leaving the palace every day now?"

Xia Tian smiled and said: "The queen mother stays in the palace all day, how can she see the suffering of the people, my son encountered something today."

"what's up?"

"A son of Yuan Wai Lang robs civilian girls in broad daylight and in public. This is at the feet of the emperor. This kind of thing happens even in the royal city. One can imagine how the security is in places far away from the royal city?"

"There is such a thing, which Yuanwailang's son is it?"

Xia Tian: "Mother, don't be angry, I have already asked Chengtian Mansion Yin Binggong to handle this matter, but from this matter, we can see some things, my son plans to rectify the bureaucracy next."
