I'm so hard

Chapter 296 A Shocking Word
The eighteen coils of Mount Tai are like the ladder to the gate of heaven, with steep coils.

Zhao Yan was panting heavily, his face was covered with beads of sweat. He looked at the mountain peak in front of him, dragged the rocks and vines beside him, and continued to move forward.

Hei Wa followed Zhao Yan, not even sweating, and looked quite relaxed.

Xiao Zijie was at the front, he was full of poetry in his heart, and he was eager to see the scenery, so he was temporarily ranked first.

Kong Ze, on the other hand, is a little puffy, and is currently nearly 20 meters behind Zhao Yan.

As for Shangguan Yuntun, it can only be said that the old sow chased the rabbit—the spirit is commendable, and it is nearly a hundred meters behind everyone, and it seems that it has not much strength.

The large army led by Shen Tuyi followed in an orderly manner, and the dragon guards originally planned to follow Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan refused.

After all, when an emperor climbed up a mountain and was exhausted, he would feel that he was not a real man when he saw that the soldiers who climbed up with him were still full of energy.

Men have a natural obsession with persistence.

……

As dusk approached, Zhao Yan was only 100 meters away from the summit.

At this moment, he was a little exhausted.

Xiao Zijie was out of breath, and followed Zhao Yan, maybe because he lacked strength, or because he didn't dare to surpass Zhao Yan.

As for Kong Ze, Shangguan Yuntun is no longer visible.

And Hei Wa has been following Zhao Yan's side, and there is still no trace of sweat on his face.

"Hei Wa, why aren't you sweating? After climbing for so long, you don't feel tired at all!" Zhao Yan asked with a smile while sitting on a rock.

Hei Wa rolled her eyes and said, "Because I'm not married, brother Xiao Zijie told me that once we get married, a man's strength will drop!"

Xiao Zijie who was not far away heard this, and quickly said loudly: "Your Majesty, Kong Ze said this, but he didn't mention you!"

"Ugh!"

Zhao Yan sighed, this is the truth.

With that said, he continued to climb towards the top of the mountain.

……

As night fell, Zhao Yan finally climbed to the top of Mount Tai.

And after more than half an hour, the large troops also arrived at the top of the mountain one after another, and then began to set up camp.

The next day, on the top of Mount Tai.

A Fengchan altar has been successfully built, with five-color soil on it, and the Great Zhou Emperor's Banner and various guards of honor standing around it.

And in front of the Fengchan altar, facing the direction of Changdan, there is a big stone. This stone is called the Songde Stone, and it is written to praise the merits of the emperor.

Generally, some will be written, such as Yao Shun Yu Tang, Wen Tao Wu Lue.Words such as diligent government for the people, grace for the world.

The etiquette of Feng Chan is not complicated, various regulations and details have been arranged by Cai You, Minister of Rites, but there is only one thing that Zhao Yan needs to confirm, and that is the words of Song Deshi.

In the imperial tent.

Cai You looked at Zhao Yan with a bitter face.

"Your Majesty, it's time to confirm the text on the Songde Stone!"

Cai You wrote the words on the Ode to Virtue Stone half a month ago, and after presenting it to Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan never replied, and just yesterday, Zhao Yan said that the words Cai You wrote were inappropriate.

This made Cai You so anxious that he almost didn't sleep last night, and even attracted Liu Chaotong and Shangguan Yuntun, who are very strong in writing.

More than a dozen versions have been written.

But Zhao Yan shook his head after seeing it.

Zhao Yan put Cai You's ode to the side, and said with a smile: "Cai Shangshu, you don't need to worry, your writing is very good, but it is not suitable for me. I have already thought about what to write on the ode stone. Tomorrow, when I am enshrining Zen, I will naturally say that the seal cutting will be done at that time, so you step back!"

Cai You hesitated to speak, so she had no choice but to back down.

The words written on the Songde Stone can be preserved for thousands of years. Cai You is very worried that if the words are wrong, he will become a sinner through the ages.

After Cai You withdrew from the imperial account, the treasurer Kong Moshan glanced at Cai You's back, and then walked towards the imperial account.

"Chairman, it's so late, I'm going to bed, what's the matter?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile.

Kong Moshan arched his hands towards Zhao Yan, and then replied with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I came here for the words on the Praise Stone."

"I may know what His Majesty wants to write on the Songde Stone!"

"Oh, then do you think I should write or not?" Zhao Yan asked back.

"This this……"

Kong Moshan thought for a while and said, "If the minister is displeased, the three of us, Pan Wenyue, will definitely advise His Majesty, and all the civil and military officials of the dynasty will also stop His Majesty."

"Then, are you going to stop me?"

Kong Moshan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"why?"

"Because, I have confidence in our Dazhou's finances!" Kong Moshan replied.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Yan was immediately amused, and then walked towards the back.

Kong Moshan murmured: "Perhaps doing this is not only the blessing of the Zhou Dynasty, but also the luck of the heavens!"

The next day, the sky was slightly brighter.

The soldiers began to get busy.

Feng Chan is a major matter for the country, and the soldiers must ensure that there is no wild animal on the top of the mountain, and there is no place where danger may appear.

And Zhao Yan didn't sleep in, and had already started to wear formal clothes.

Soon, Zhao Yan came to the high platform.

The imperial flag of the Great Zhou Dynasty fluttered, quite imposing, and the soldiers were all heroic and mighty.

Cai You, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in reciting the sacrificial oration, while Zhao Yan and the officials began to worship the sky.After the ceremony was over, Zhao Yan began to chant the ceremony of enshrining Zen to thank the heavens.

These steps are very cumbersome, and it is almost noon when Zhao Yan finishes these steps.

Next, there is only the last step left, which is to chant German.

Zhao Yan stood in front of the boulder, and two ceremonial officials stood aside, holding pens and ink, ready to record. After Zhao Yan finished speaking, they needed to order someone to engrave the words on the boulder, and then offer it to the whole world People came to pay their respects.

Kong Moshan, the only treasurer who knew what to write, had a nervous expression on his face.

But Kong Ze, Xiao Zijie, and Shangguan Yuntun were very excited. They knew that Zhao Yan's literary talent was outstanding, and the words he wrote would surely be passed on to the world.

Zhao Yan coughed dryly, and said loudly: From now on, the land tax will be exempted in Dazhou, and this tax will never be levied!
A simple sentence.

Ah!
After saying this, except for Kong Moshan who let out a long breath, everyone else was dumbfounded, including the soldiers standing around.

The largest income of a country is land tax.

The so-called universal land, is it the land of the king, and paying land taxes is a rule passed down for thousands of years, and it is a condition to ensure the normal operation of the court and officials.

Exemption from land tax, then... Who will support the Great Zhou court, and who will support the officials?
Bang!
Cai You, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, collapsed to the ground in an instant. He didn't expect Zhao Yan to write such a sentence on the Songde Stone.

This... Once this example is opened, the people's life will get better and better, but the court officials will have a hard time.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Cai You said tremblingly.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Yan waved his hand and refused.

"Engrave this sentence on the big stone, and attach the year and month, and then I will announce it to the world after I return to Changdan." Zhao Yan said.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he led everyone down the mountain towards the shade of the mountain in accordance with Feng Chan's rules.

Taishan Fengchan officially ended.

And Zhao Yan brought a shocking news to the whole world.
