The Second Marrying Beauty: The Concubine, the Concubine and the Black Emperor

Chapter 357 Meeting in the Royal Garden (5)

"Master Shaoqing, one of my main points is to care about the people, and the people are the foundation of the country. If the people are exhausted, how can the country exist?"

"So using the nobles' money to make up for the part of the people's lack of taxes, this approach can indeed play a role in alleviating finances and military pay, but it's hard to say whether the nobles are willing or not."

"It's hard to say, it's better to let them take out some of their things now than to let them be homeless and countryless in the future."

Shaoqing smiled and stopped talking, and Lu Ziming also looked at him with a smile.

Shaoqing already knew what he wanted to know, the nobleman's emotions must have been so hot that they were uneasy, otherwise Lu Ziming would not have suffocated him.

It must have hurt sorely.

Xufeng and Wuhuan also knew in their hearts what Shaoqing meant by asking this question. Shaoqing had always advocated reducing taxes, but King Wuwei had always ruled the country with tough methods, and coupled with repeated campaigns, taxes had always been able to follow the previous emperor's rules. It has come down pretty well.

However, if Dazhou cut taxes, the resistance would not be as great as that of Qi Shiguo, because it would not affect many nobles.

Now the surviving nobles, the members of the four major families have almost been reduced. Wuhuan is considered the largest noble, but as long as Xu Feng speaks, he will definitely not object, and then the brothers of the former emperor... The dead and the disabled are not enough to cause trouble.

Dazhou is not like Qi Shiguo, and there are local county kings, and the resistance of the nobles can be said to be zero.

I believe that the people of Qi Shiguo also know this, but Lu Ziming expected that King Dingwuwei's personality would not reduce the people's taxes, nor would he be able to recuperate.

Because he wants everything, and wants to master everything, the practice of resting and recuperating is really too slow for him.

"I don't know if Master Lu has brought the woman mentioned in the widow's letter." The topic changed and pointed to Yi Lian.

Lu Ziming lowered his eyes inadvertently, he was feeling sorry for Li Bugui, no matter what he loved or what he loved, it seemed that he didn't keep it in the end.

"Miss Elaine is waiting below, the emperor can summon her."

"Pass it on."

Leaning crookedly on the chair, a pair of red eyes casually looked at Elaine standing opposite, without speaking.

Xufeng didn't speak and neither did the others, Wuhuan felt depressed, the beauty is indeed a beauty, but he doesn't know what the emperor wants her to do.
