Chapter 277

"So Xiao Yu'er's martial arts is higher than that of the golden-masked man?" The emperor stood up and walked over to him, looking straight at him and asked, otherwise the golden-masked man would not have missed her appearance.

"Yes, I heard from Xiaowen that because she is a stone girl and has good bones, her martial arts are improving faster than her. Now she is helping Xiaowen take care of the escort." Qi Tianyu said bravely.

He knew that Xiao Yu'er's high martial arts must be due to the medicine, but this is a secret that their Qi family must never reveal.

Naturally, Qi Tianxiang also knew that he was planning to hide his sister-in-law's special medicine when he saw his elder brother say that, and he was afraid that the tree would attract the wind. It seems that he should pay attention to it in the future.

"You are Qi Tianxiang. I heard that you will take part in the examination next year?" The emperor turned his head to look at Qi Tianxiang and asked, and found that he not only had a long Zhou Zheng but also had clean eyes, and he was a little more pleased.

"Go back to the emperor, yes." Qi Tianxiang bowed and saluted.

"Don't be cautious, then I will give you a debut question in advance." The emperor patted him on the shoulder and said, "You said that the treasury is empty now, what should I do?"

"Say it casually?" Qi Tianxiang stared straight at the emperor's eyes for a moment and asked, there is a saying that he has to be careful when he says that being with the king is like being with a tiger.

"That's right, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong." The emperor secretly nodded when he saw that he dared to look at him.

"I don't think we can start with tax anymore, because neither the agricultural tax nor the commercial tax is considered low. Instead, we can give some benefits to those merchants so that they will automatically pay some money, and the other is donations." Qi Tianxiang Immediately thought of some treatment methods that Bai Jingwen had told herself, and picked out the feasible ones.

"Oh, be more specific." The emperor walked a few steps back and forth after hearing this, his eyes lit up and he felt a door pointing at him.

"Let's talk about the merchants first. For example, those who want to participate in the selection of the Imperial Merchants are some big merchants. Then every time they participate, they can be asked to pay a part of the entry fee. The amount of this amount is of course determined by the Emperor.

Another point is that although the current dynasty also allows merchants to participate in the imperial examination, only those who are truly talented will persevere, and the others will go home and continue to do business.

Then we can take out some casual jobs below the fifth rank to price auctions. They will participate no matter for improving their status or for the convenience of doing business, as long as it is stipulated that one job per household.

As for the fundraising, I told the emperor not to be angry, I think every minister's family in the court is quite rich.

Regardless of how it came about, there is a rule that their shops do not pay taxes. It is only said that more than [-]% of the shop's land in the capital is private property of various prefectures and the income is very considerable.

The thing to do now is either to tax them too, or to knock them off with the excuse of not taxing them. "Qi Tianxiang kept talking calmly, but he was a little excited at the end.

"You kid, don't say that when you go out, or you will offend all the ministers in the court." Yan Jinhao also thinks it is feasible. The three of them had a headache all afternoon. He didn't expect him to solve it in a few words, and he turned his head in relief. Said jokingly.

"Your Majesty, I think the two things he said are feasible, and the middle one is selling an official position." After hearing this, King Yi twitched his lips and turned his head to reply firmly.

"It doesn't matter. If you don't sell it, don't you think you haven't sold it? As long as it's done in secret, it's okay." The emperor said with his hands tightly clenched, and suddenly looked at Qi Tianxiang and said, "These are really yours. Thought?"
