I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 418

Weiyang Palace, Fengming Palace.

"Your Majesty, Young Master, the yamen of each city have posted notices about the new land tax policy."

Chen Zhong, who was sitting on the chair, took a peek at Wei Changtian and said in a low voice, "Roughly calculated, this year Shu will at least reduce taxes by [-] taels."

"It's only five hundred thousand taels. As long as we can attract more people from other places, we can earn it back in a few years."

Waving his hand, Wei Changtian asked casually, "By the way, Mr. Chen, didn't you ask you to count all the big landlords in Shu before? How is this going?"

"Master, it's done."

Chen Zhong answered truthfully: "Today, in the entire territory of Shu, there are a total of [-] households with more than [-] mu of fertile land. Among them, the Zuo family in Ning'an County is the most, with one household owning more than [-] mu."

More than five thousand acres, good guy.

This shit is as large as a small town.

Wei Changtian didn't directly tell Chen Zhong what to do, but curled his lips and said, "Master Chen, give Chu Xianping the roster of these eighty-three households, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Yes, the subordinate understands."

In Chen Zhong's mind, there was no such concept as "strike the landlord and divide the land", so of course he didn't know what Wei Changtian was going to do.

However, the latter is not actually trying to catch all the landlords, but has other plans for the characters on this list.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, you go down first."

Glancing at Chen Zhong, Wei Changtian ordered: "I hope you will pay more attention to the new policy of Tian Fu."

"Yes! This is the duty of the lower officials. Please rest assured, Mr. Wei and His Majesty!"

Chen Zhong stood up and said goodbye immediately with winking eyes: "I will leave, my subordinate."

"."

As Chen Zhong got up and left, only Wei Changtian and Ning Yuke were left in Fengming Hall.

Now that the "tax reduction" has been implemented, it can be regarded as a timely stabilization of public opinion.

Although due to various considerations, Wei Changtian's "One Hundred Taxes" eventually became "Fifty Taxes One".

However, judging from the feedback collected so far, this effort has achieved the expected effect.

Then the next thing to do is to go all out to deal with the [-] counter-insurgency army.

"When are you going to speak?"

Looking at Ning Yuke, Wei Changtian said, "Now that Ning Yongnian has issued a crusade edict, we need to respond quickly, and we can't delay too long."

"."

"Speech", this is not only a new word "invented" by Wei Changtian, but also a brand new creation.

The emperor is the supreme being of Kowloon, and has been unique in social status throughout the ages.

In order to maintain this sense of "mystery", these "sons of heaven" seldom appear in front of the common people unless there are some big events.

Therefore, if the emperor has something to tell the whole world, it will usually be in the form of "Wanmin Zhao".

For example, for this crusade against Shuzhou, Ning Yongnian had written a volume of "Cusade Documents" this morning, and then informed the people of Daning through the state government.

Under normal circumstances, Ning Yuke should also write an "edict" in response, but Wei Changtian is planning to give a "public speech" in order to better achieve the effect of "inspiring the hearts of the people".

To put it bluntly, it is to let Ning Yuke give a speech in front of the people of Shuzhou.

Needless to say the importance of this speech, and the timing must be just right.

If it is too early, it will appear as if it has been expected, and if it is too late, it will lose momentum.

Wei Changtian had too many things to do and didn't have time to take care of these details, so he let Ning Yuke make up his own mind.

And the latter.
"Master, the Ministry of Rites is already arranging this matter, and it is tentatively scheduled for the next day."

Slowly standing up from behind the desk, Ning Yuke walked up to Wei Changtian and knelt down beside Wei Changtian, raised her head and asked softly, "Do you think it's okay?"

"The day after tomorrow. OK."

Wei Changtian nodded, and asked again: "Then have they prepared the speech? If they are ready, they will show it to Chu Xianping in advance."

"this."

Ning Yuke's complexion changed slightly, and she lowered her head slowly: "Master, this servant wants to draft this speech by herself."

"Write it yourself?"

Wei Changtian was a little surprised, but soon figured it out.

Since it was a response to Ning Yongnian, the main purpose of this speech must be to rectify the name of "Shu Kingdom", so naturally it will mention the big case of Prince Shun last year.

It seems that Ning Yuke wanted to "blame" Ning Yongnian in person.

"Okay, you can write it yourself."

After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian did not refuse: "But you should be clear about what to say and what not to say."

"The servant understands."

Ning Yuke responded softly, but when she looked up again, she found that Wei Changtian was rubbing her temples.

She immediately asked in a low voice, "Master, are you tired?"

"Ok?"

Wei Changtian subconsciously stopped his movements.

He is indeed a little tired now.

Last night, I studied the matter of Dafeng for a long time, then learned the news of Yuanzhou sending troops, and finally chatted with the remnant soul in Xuantian Sword for a long time, which made him not only stay up all night, but also overuse his brain .

Of course, as a fourth-rank warrior, no matter how hard he struggled, he would basically never get sick.

But there will still be fatigue.

"Well, a little bit, it's okay."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian answered casually.

Then he heard Ning Yuke's seemingly urgent request.

"Master, this servant will rub it for you."

"Uh"

Looking at Ning Yuke who looked expectant, Wei Changtian was slightly taken aback.

When did Ning Yuke learn to massage?

Queen's Technician?
"Cough, that's fine."

There's nothing wrong with a serious massage!

With an extremely healthy attitude, Wei Changtian did not reject Ning Yuke's kindness.

However, the next development is a bit wrong.

Go around the screen and push open the hidden door.

The candlelight in the cubicle was dim, agarwood was lit in the corner, and a soft bed with carved phoenix clouds was placed on one side of the wall.

Of course Wei Changtian knew that this was a small room for Ning Yuke to rest when he was tired of reviewing memorials.

But the question is why am I standing here?
He just thought that the "rubbing" that Ning Yuke said was simply "rubbing".

But I didn't expect that the latter would pull me here directly!
So. is this going to be a full set?
Wei Changtian's thoughts were racing, but Ning Yuke had already made the bed, and then stood by the bed and waited.

Although he was a bit tangled, Wei Changtian didn't want to turn his head and leave, so he hesitated for a while and then walked over.

massage!It's just a massage!

He took off his shoes and went to bed, just about to lie down, but suddenly a soft call came from his ear.

"Master, you, you can lie on the lap of the servant girl."

"."

Turning his head to look, sure enough.

Ning Yuke had already folded her skirt and knelt beside her, with a shy expression on her face.

have to.

It has become increasingly informal.

Changed the direction, and lay directly on Ning Yuke's lap.

Wei Changtian could feel the latter's body visibly trembled, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Master, then I will start"

After saying something in a low voice, Ning Yuke stretched out her hand and began to rub Wei Changtian's various acupuncture points, and the strength of the movements was just right.

Not to mention, it seems to be quite the same thing.

Feeling the bursts of numbness and comfort, Wei Changtian slowly closed his eyes, planning to take this opportunity to take a rest.

But after a while, he suddenly realized something.

its not right!
Really serious massage? !
