Wei Wan received the imperial edict to return to the court class, Liu Che returned to the dragon throne.
The court discussion continued.
"If you have a book, report it as soon as possible. If you don't, withdraw from court!"
After the eunuch's voice rang out, Imperial Censor Tian Meng walked out of the court.
"Your Majesty, the new year is approaching. It's already the second year of Jianyuan, and the Great Han Empire is flourishing."
"The surrounding small countries have already sent tribute money to seek protection. These small countries 'envoys have already entered the capital.”
After Tian Meng finished speaking, Liu Che issued an edict,"" Can you receive the envoys of these small countries..."
"Your humble subject has received the decree…Your humble subject has one more thing to report to Your Majesty.”
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty, Wei Man Chao Xian wishes to present Princess Yu Zheng to express his eternal loyalty…"
Liu Che looked at the Imperial Censor and said,"Is there any precedent for Wei Man to offer a princess to the court?"”
"Your Majesty, it is not rare for small countries to offer princesses.”
"Okay, then let's deal with it according to the rules.”
In the last court meeting of the first year of Jianyuan, Liu Che handled all the affairs properly.
In the first year of Jianyuan, the Great Han Empire revealed its prowess and defeated the Tartar Kingdom, shocking the world!
The surrounding kingdoms were all in a state of panic, afraid that the Great Han Empire would swallow them up. The affiliated kingdoms that had submitted to the Great Han Empire increased their annual silver.
The kingdoms that had yet to submit to the Great Han Empire sent out their envoys, hoping to become vassal kingdoms of the Great Han Empire.
In the first year of Jianyuan, all the countries surrendered!
At the end of the last court session, it snowed heavily in Chang 'an.
Under the heavy snow, the entire city was enveloped in a white world.
Red walls, yellow tiles, white ground.
In Chang 'an, the Royal Guards were patrolling with weapons in their hands...
Liu Che walked out of the throne room. The officials had already left the palace gates.
In the huge palace, there was no one else other than the Royal Guards and the Imperial Guards.
Liu Che stood outside the main hall. In front of him was the White Marble Plaza, and at the end of the White Marble Plaza was the Golden Water Bridge.
Liu Che looked down at the entire square. In front of him was a stone wall carved with dragons.
This stone wall was a whole piece of stone, and a five-clawed golden dragon was carved on it.
The snow was falling, and Liu Che walked into the snow.
He allowed the snowflakes to fall on his shoulders and head.
Liu Che walked step by step, measuring the Great Han Dynasty!
He left a trail of footprints behind him, winding all the way to the Hall of Public Announcement…
He was the Emperor, the most powerful man in the Great Han Empire!
However, who knew how difficult it was to carry the lives of the world!
No matter if the sky collapsed or the earth collapsed, he would use his shoulders to carry everything!
Even though he was only sixteen years old, he wanted to use his shoulders to carry this empire!
This was the Emperor!
Others could fail.
But he couldn't!
Because he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty!
Others could surrender.
But he couldn't!
Because he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty!
Others could cry.
But he couldn't!
Because he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty!
If he slacked off, he would lose the entire Great Han Empire.
And the people of this country would fall into chaos!
Liu Che returned to Ganquan Palace.
——
For the next few days, other than going to bed early and waking up late, Liu Che was still reading memorials.
Apart from the Dragon Cavalry Army's memorial, there were also the Embroidered Guard's and the Cabinet's memorials.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Che invited all the civil and military officials to a banquet in Ganquan Palace. The birthday gifts of the civil and military officials were also carefully selected.
The imperial court also announced a general amnesty.
Except for those sentenced to death and those with a sentence of more than three years, those with less than three years were released.
The taxes of the Great Han were also reduced from one stone per household to three buckets per household.
The Great Han Empire's massive tax reduction caused the commoners to jump in joy.
But the Minister of Revenue was worried.
The tax rate was reduced from one stone to three buckets.
What kind of concept was this?
One stone was equivalent to ten buckets of rice.
In the second year of Jianyuan, the tax rate was reduced from one stone to three buckets. Such a large tax reduction would probably use the country's capital.
When the finance minister Wang Zang made his suggestion to the Prime Minister Wei Wan, Wei Wan smiled and said,"
"Your Majesty is wise. How can ordinary people like us guess your thoughts? Just do as I say."
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, Wang Zang had no choice but to lower the tax rate.
Starting from the second year of Jianyuan, the tax rate was reduced from one stone to three buckets.
At the same time, the finance minister also issued a business tax. A hundred coins for traveling merchants and ten coins for taxes.
In other words, selling an item worth 100 copper coins would require a tax of 10 copper coins.
In Wang Zang's opinion, this business tax probably wouldn't bring in much money.
After all, since ancient times, merchants had never been the biggest tax collectors…
After Liu Che heard Wang Zang's evaluation, he smiled but didn't say anything.
Even the officials in the court thought that the business tax was dispensable…
They couldn't be blamed for this. After all, since ancient times, Hua Xia had placed emphasis on agriculture and suppressed commerce. The status of merchants had never been high.
Collecting large amounts of taxes from merchants 'pockets was only implemented during the Song Dynasty…
When Liu Che heard the misunderstanding of the officials, he thought to himself,"
"You guys watch carefully. I want you to see what it means to collect taxes.”
"I want you to see what it means to have a large tax revenue. I really don't care about agricultural taxes…"
