Ji Hao was very satisfied with this. Zhang Juzheng had taken the initiative to propose the implementation of personal tax, about lowering the business tax.
He was the most suitable candidate.
After Zhang Juzheng, the Minister of Revenue, brought this up, Ji Hao let all the officials discuss.
Prime Minister Li Si, Minister of War, Minister of Works, Minister of Rites, Minister of Personnel, and Minister of Justice all had a debate.
They all raised their views on the implementation of the individual tax and the business tax reform plan.
In their words, they were constantly improving the individual tax and the business tax reform.
Obviously, they highly approved of the implementation of the individual tax and the reform of the business tax.
There were a few officials who wanted to raise objections.
He didn't dare to open his mouth!
Even Prime Minister Li Si, the six ministers, and most of the civil and military officials supported the new tax because of the reduction in business tax!
"Li Si, listen up."
"This old minister is here!"
"I order you to take the lead. Zhang Juzheng will write the reform documents for the personal and commercial taxes. Then, the other five will complete them and summarize them for me to look over.”
"Yes!"
Not long after.
After Ji Hao revised and improved Li Si's personal and business tax reform plan, Li Si's personal and business tax reform plan was completed.
Final draft!
One imperial edict after another left the palace.
The implementation of personal tax and the reform of commercial tax were first tested in Chang 'an City.
As long as there was a significant effect, it would be implemented in the entire Great Zhou!
Zhang Juzheng's whip technique was first tested in Chang 'an Fortress. After the trial was successful, it was then promoted to the 19 states.
Ji Hao knew that the imperial power seemed stable, but once it lost the support of all the powerful families in the world, the power of the imperial family would be destroyed.
It probably wouldn't take long.
There would be internal strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
No one dared to say what would happen if the internal strife continued.
Therefore, the strategy that needed to be adopted for the world's wealthy families was to use both kindness and intimidation.
Of course, if it was just a wealthy family, even if it was the number one wealthy family in the world, the Li family that had produced many prime ministers!
As long as Ji Hao gave the order!
The Li family would be reduced to ashes!
In the end, the interests of the Li family would be replaced by the other families supported by Ji Hao.
However, even though Li Si had his own plans, he was still loyal to him.
Li Si was the Prime Minister, so he had no intention of eliminating the Li family and supporting the other families.
Moreover, based on the information Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian had gathered.
Although the Li family was the number one wealthy family in the world, they were still able to do so because of their ancestors 'teachings and the example of Prime Minister Li Si.
There were many officials in the Li family, but no one was greedy.
Li Si was the prime minister of the dynasty. If he wanted to be greedy, it was easy for him to take a few million taels a year.
Even Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian had received two hundred thousand taels of silver from Shi Chong and Jia Shidao.
Not to mention the current Prime Minister Li Si!
Li Si never accepted a single gift for his birthday celebrations, funerals, and banquets.
One year, on Li Si's birthday, one of his disciples gave him a wooden carving worth a few taels of silver.
Li Si scolded him in public.
It could be seen how incorruptible Li Si was and how much he cherished his feathers.
Of course, the Li family was the most powerful family in the world. They had students and old friends all over the world. There were people from all walks of life in the family.
There was no need to be greedy.
In Ji Hao's memory, when he was the crown prince, Ji Che was worried about money.
Li Si even took out more than two million taels of silver from his family to share Ji Che's burden.
As an official, he could do this.
It was no wonder that the Li family could prosper for a long time.
He was not arrogant, not spoiled, and could even share the emperor's worries.
This was the kind of wealthy family that the royal family loved.
It was already late at night!
However, Ji Hao was still in Yangxin Palace, without resting.
"Your Majesty, Lord Cao and Lord Wei are outside requesting an audience."”
"It's so late and they still came to see zhen. They must have something urgent. Let them in.”
"Yes."
"Your subjects Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian pay their respects to the emperor.”
Ji Hao showed a trace of anger on his face and said," No need to be polite. It's already so late, and you still came to see me. You're not sleeping, but I'm going to sleep."”
Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian were nervous and terrified. They knelt on the ground and said,""We deserve to die! However, the two of us have received reliable information at the same time. We must inform the emperor immediately. After I ascend to the throne, it will not be too late for the emperor to punish me.”
"Humph, you two have reached the pinnacle of martial arts. After taking charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guards together, why have you become so talkative? I know that you must have something important to say when you come to see me late at night. Hurry up and tell me. I can't sleep at this time.”
"Damn it for being so talkative. The Iron Gut Marquis of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa, Zhu Budian, has actually secretly organized a force to gather all the experts in the world and has cultivated the four great experts of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang. He has many capable people under him, and even the wealthy merchant Shen Wansan has been recruited by him.”
Cao Zhengchun's expression was anxious.
Wang Zhen walked in from outside and said respectfully,"Your Majesty, Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Bujian is outside requesting an audience!”
Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian looked at each other. They both thought that Zhu Budian, the Iron-guts Divine Marquis, would only come to the palace once a year.
He didn't expect that he would have to meet the Saint so late at night. Could it be that the news had already been leaked?
The two of them were thinking that if this Iron-guts Deity Marquis relied on his peerless martial arts to harm the Emperor.
With their current martial arts, they could definitely take this person down!
"Let the Divine Marquis in."
"Yes."
Ji Hao knew that this Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Budian was a peerless powerful being, born in the Zhu Family, a powerful family. He had once saved the life of the former emperor Ji Che on the battlefield. He was brave and loyal.
He had been conferred the title of Ironguts Divine Marquis by the late Emperor Ji Che!
Zhu Budian walked in with a respectful expression. Originally, he had looked down on the young emperor, but after hearing some of the new emperor's deeds, he knew that he was wrong."I, Zhu Yi, ignore you and kneel before the emperor. Long live my emperor!”
Ji Hao looked down at Zhu Butong and asked,""Divine Marquis, please rise. When I was the Crown Prince, the Divine Marquis taught me martial arts for three months.”
"I'm here to apologize."
"Oh? What crime did the Divine Marquis commit?"
Iron-guts Divine Marquis Zhu ignored him respectfully and said,""The late emperor had secretly ordered me to build The World's First Manor and recruit people from the pugilistic world. Now, it has cultivated the four divisions of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Even the wealthy merchant Shen Wansan has joined The World's First Manor. However, I didn't have the time to inform the emperor of this matter. I deserve to die!”
Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian looked at each other. Not only was this Iron Gut Divine Marquis 'martial arts peerless, but his eloquence was also top-notch. In just a few words, he actually said that he had received a secret order from the late Emperor.
Since it was a secret order, naturally no one knew. Now, the late emperor had already passed away!
Naturally, there was no evidence!
Who knew if he was telling the truth?
"Since it is the former emperor's secret order, what crime does the Divine Marquis have? Although Zhen has never left the palace, I know that Shen Wansan, from a poor family with only a few acres of land, became the richest man in the world. He is a talent. It seemed that the other members of the Divine Marquis's Number One Manor were not bad either.”
Zhu Budian cupped his hands and said respectfully,""Your Majesty, you flatter me. This subject has come this time to present the world's number one manor to the emperor, allowing the emperor to select talents to take over this manor.”
"Zhu Budian, since you are the one who built the Number One Manor, I will order you to take charge of it.”
Zhu Budian knelt on the ground respectfully.""I, Zhu, have ignored you. Thank you, Your Majesty!"
" It's late now," said Ji Hao with a serious face," Divine Marquis, kneel down.”
After Zhu Budian knelt down, he left the hall and left the palace.
Zhu ignored him and broke out in a cold sweat.
He thought to himself,'This young emperor, after hearing me mention the matter of the world's number one manor, he still has such a calm expression and even ordered me to take charge of it.'
If I didn't know what he had done, even I would have thought that the new emperor was an incompetent person!
However, Zhu Budian knew that the new emperor was not an incompetent person!
The news of him secretly building The World's Greatest Manor was leaked.
If he hadn't entered the palace late at night to meet the emperor, something big might have happened to the Guarding Dragon Villa and The Best Villa in the World tonight!
Inside Yangxin Hall.
"Emperor, do you really believe what this Zhu Buguang said?" Cao Zhengchun asked respectfully.”
"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. This Zhu Budian was indeed bold. No wonder his father valued him so much when he was still alive. The two of you, investigate this Zhu Bujue and the world's number one manor. If the Iron-guts Divine Marquis has any disloyal intentions, there's no need for him to stay!”
"We obey your orders!"
That night, Ji Hao didn't go to Chengqian Palace, but stayed in Yangxin Palace to visit Shangguan Wan 'er.
Shangguan Wan 'er, who had not been graced for half a month, was already out of her wits and her expression was abnormal.
When dealing with the women in the harem, he still had to share the rain and dew equally.
