The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

On the second day of ascending the throne, Xiao Rui woke up from the excitement of being an emperor, what to do, after all, there were too many things to do.

There are heavy rains in Fuzhou and Ganzhou, and many low-lying areas have been flooded. There are no crops that are not afraid of water. Even rice needs to have a degree.

The drought in the five states of Huainan, Huaibei, and Xuzhou has not caused cracks in the land or the phenomenon of red land, but it also has a greater impact on crops.

The lower reaches of the Yangtze River is also in danger of **** bursting, because the increase in the amount of water in the upper Qijiang River will inevitably endanger the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Some rivers with sharp bends and low silt channels are prone to **** bursts.

Xiao Rui ascended the throne to change Da Xia's new master, but Xiao Rui did not have the ability to shake the tiger's body and avoid disasters by three feet. The disaster situation in the Little Ice Age still happened frequently.

The only good news is that Daxia has made grain growing and disaster management the two most important things for the court since three or four years ago.

Growing grain is naturally the popularization of new crops, while disaster control is to build projects where disasters may occur. In the past, the Ministry of Industry was the least valued, but now? What Xiao Rui attaches the most importance to is the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, both of which go hand in hand.

The Ministry of Industry has a heavy responsibility and shoulders the mission of saving the people.

Build reservoirs and expand rivers and lakes in areas prone to drought and floods, so that water can be stored and floods can be stored. Cement has been successfully developed, so it can be used to reinforce river embankments. At the same time, while clearing the river course, while relocating the people in the downstream areas that are prone to break the embankment, various methods can be used for simultaneous treatment.

The experience of the ancients has proved that blocking is worse than sparse. Song Yingxing understands this truth very well, so he fully bases his terrain on the situation and fights against the disaster.

The hot and cold weather is hard for manpower to change, but flood disasters can overcome them like Dayu's flood control!

Nowadays, there are more than 1,000 officials directly under the Ministry of Industry, distributed in the various states of Daxia. If you add the personnel of each workshop, it is even more massive, but this is far from enough, and Xiao Rui is absolutely not satisfied!

Now that Huangtian Group and Daxia Bank have both appeared, can Daxia Zhongjian Company be far behind?

Therefore, on the second day of his ascension, Xiao Rui ordered a new division of the Ministry of Engineering, named Zhongjian Division. Most of the students who graduated from the college are from unfamiliar backgrounds, who are willing to do practical things and can choose excellent students directly. Enter Zhongjian Division.

Under China Construction Department, they are allowed to set up various branches, such as China Construction First Department, China Construction Second Department, etc., to be fully responsible for infrastructure projects. This directly makes up for the small problem of the unclear division of labor in the Ministry of Industry, and at the same time allocates responsibilities in place. .

In order to express the importance of the Central Construction Division, the Central Construction Division can directly report to the cabinet. Although the position has not been improved, but the power is greatly improved, and is directly in charge of Song Yingxing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry Minister dare not make things difficult.

Xiao Rui was the emperor, and it was impossible for him to do everything himself. Fortunately, there were a group of officials who were able and willing to do things. Xiao Rui told them his ideas and plans, and they could do it for Xiao Rui.

But there are also problems.

What China Construction Division does are big things, and the money it naturally spends is big money, and the burden on the court will increase accordingly.

Although the people have new crops to make up for the shortfall in crops, the court cannot increase taxes and squeeze it from the people, so the court has to figure out how to make money on its own, and there is no money for infrastructure.

Now the Ministry of Households is still full, and a lot of trophies have been obtained by destroying Qi, but the Little Ice Age will last a long time. This is a long-term battle. There is no money but only money. That's not good.

So what Xiao Rui had to personally grasp was how to get the money.

The maritime trade has restarted again. This time, 37 large sea-going ships were dispatched. Secondly, it is also important to promote business.

On Xiao Rui's second day as emperor, his second purpose was to reduce business taxes.

Daxia's previous positive taxes are divided into two types: residence tax and overtax. Residential tax is the tax on commercial and residential sales, the tax rate is 4%, and the over-tax is the tax passed by merchants, and the tax rate is 3%. In addition, commercial tax involves a variety of commodities, including aquatic products, grains, bamboo, wood, books, paper, and lacquer. In addition to the normal tax, there are miscellaneous taxes such as economic system money, total system money, monthly pile money, and book account money, which greatly increase the burden on business people.

Emperor Xia was able to make Daxia prosperous in just over two decades, so that the Ministry of Households had money. One of the reasons was to reduce taxes to the common people and increase taxes to businessmen, so that not only could the people's hearts be stabilized, but also money could be made.

However, the business tax is heavy, which is not conducive to the development of business. Xiao Rui understands this truth very well, and Xia Huang understands it, but there are gains and losses. After weighing, you must make a choice.

Now is the time for Xiao Rui to make a choice. He started to reduce taxes. The tax for housing and sales was reduced to 3%, and the tax for businesses was reduced to 2%. At the same time, odd items, farm tools and books were exempt from tax, and bamboo, firewood, and firewood were exempted. Minute. At the same time, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs added some laws to protect the businessmen’s own interests and so on.

This will allow businessmen to see the policy changes after the new emperor ascended the throne. Businessmen are all groups who are good at observing and thinking about changes. They realize that the court attaches great importance to business and will expand the scale of business. Over time, commerce will form a chain reaction, expand manufacturing, handicraft and other production, and fully drive the prosperity of the economy.

So it seems that the commercial tax has been reduced, but the country's income will not be reduced too much, and it can even be increased.

At the very least, the prosperity of commerce will drive the rapid development of Daxia First Bank, which is also the income of the court.

Speaking of money, Xiao Rui thought of his own money.

When Xiao Rui was crown prince, Zhan Shifu didn't have much money and was used by him. What Xiao Rui was talking about now was the emperor's internal money. To be precise, it was the internal money left to Xiao Rui after his majesty abdicated.

A few days ago, His Majesty was going to hand over all the power of internal money to Xiao Rui, but at that time something happened to be forgotten. Now that Xiao Rui has ascended the throne and inherited the family business, he naturally also inherits the money from the family.

So the question is, how much money is in your majesty's internal money? extraordinary

This question immediately evoked Xiao Rui's sad memories.

He patrolled the state capital to check the silver scoured by corrupt officials, and most of it went into his majesty's pocket. Half of the net profit of the nautical trade goes into your majesty's pocket. The money obtained by handling prominent officials was also distributed to your majesty, plus other income, how much money did your majesty swallow in his internal money?

Moreover, this internal money is a brave, it can only get in and can't get out. There is a household department in the war, and Xiao Rui has resisted the promotion of new crops. I have never seen your Majesty spend any big money.

So Xiao Rui handled political affairs in the morning and went to Xia Huang in the afternoon.

Emperor Xia lived in Ruixiang Palace in the northwest corner of the harem. After Xiao Rui entered the harem, he found that the palaces were very busy, packing their bags and packing things.

Xiao Rui became the emperor, and the Emperor Xia, as the Supreme Emperor, naturally did not want to live in the palace. He was going to cross the sea to live in the Yingzhou Palace, and the concubines in the harem would naturally follow.

When he came to Ruixiang Palace, Emperor Xia was reading a book.

"The son-in-chief pays homage to the emperor!" Xiao Rui said respectfully.

Emperor Xia put down his hand, patted the seat next to him, and smiled: "Sit down! How does it feel to be an emperor?"

Xiao Rui thought about it seriously, "It doesn't feel any special, it's the same as before! It just feels that the burden on your shoulders is heavy!"

"Well said! Remember this feeling, don't forget. When you forget the weight of this burden, but are keen on the control of power and the desire for power in power, then it means that something is going to happen. For my father, I will set off to Yingzhou the next day, and I can only rely on you for the future." Xia Huang said sincerely.

Xiao Rui asked, "Isn't it about staying for a longer period of time? It doesn't matter if you go to Yingzhou late. The palace there has just been repaired."

Xia Huang shook his head and said, "No more delay, I want to go for a walk and have a look overseas!"

Even though he said that, Xiao Rui understood that his Majesty was trying to avoid suspicion, so he wanted to go to Yingzhou as soon as possible.

Xiao Rui was able to be the emperor, and the help of the system accounted for 50%. Among them, 40% was Emperor Xia. It was the honor of Daxia and Xiao Rui to have such a father.

"Father, if you are bored living in Yingzhou, check back often," Xiao Rui said.

Xia Huang smiled and said: "Of course, I think the grandson and granddaughter will come back by boat. Oh, by the way, I took Xiao Feng's child to Yingzhou."

Xiao Rui nodded, Xiao Feng was demoted as a common man, and Cao Wan disappeared with him. Xia Huang now has time, and seeing his grandson pitifully, it is just right to take it to Yingzhou.

At this time, the topic shifted to business.

"Father, my son came to you for internal money." Xiao Rui explained his intentions.

Emperor Xia said: "Let the companion of the sea accompany you, just to explain the situation to you, and hand over the internal money to you by the way. I will try my best to save you some family property, don't mess with it!"

Xiao Rui's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Your Majesty personally admits that he has saved some family property. How much is this?

Xiao Rui hurriedly urged Hai Dafu to go to the treasure house of Neibo, ready to meet the world.

When you come to the treasure house of the inner money, it is protected by the three-tier and the three-tier outside of the tight forbidden army, and there are three gates. In addition to your majesty, anyone who wants to enter must have a handwriting from your majesty.

"Grandpa Hai, how much money is there?" Xiao Rui couldn't help asking.

Hai Dafu took the account ~www.ltnovel.com~ and found the general account, and then respectfully said: "Return to your majesty, there are currently more than 2.2 million taels of gold and two hundred and thirty-five million taels of silver. There are a few treasures, and the specific details are in the accounts. The slaves and maids don’t give them. There is not much money, please check it out!"

After saying this, Haida felt that his chest was transparent.

Nima, it feels so comfortable to pretend! Not much money, it's all small money!

Xiao Rui widened his eyes and said in shock, "How much is it?"

One tael of gold can be exchanged for twelve taels of silver, so when converted into silver, that is two hundred and sixty million taels of silver, not to mention other treasures! Xiao Rui took the account and simply flipped through it. Good guys, there are countless treasures, and it's a huge sum of money to change into silver.

"Well... it's really not much, you have to be diligent and thrifty." Xiao Rui immediately recovered his calm, and gave a blow.

In fact, there are not many. One Heshen is greedy for hundreds of millions of taels of silver. Your Majesty has saved a small vault for twenty-seven years.

Having said that, how about coming to Heshen and letting him collect money for his own fish farming?
