The strongest world crossing

Page 779

As the head of the state, even if it is only in name, and Jiang Huanchu is indeed a staunch supporter of the big business, and he has received the most benefits.

In addition to the headquarters of the great merchants, Dawu has released anything that is beneficial to the people's livelihood. After the basic popularization of the great merchants, Jiang Huanchu was the first to get it. To get it, you need a lot of treasures in exchange, and you have to get Ye Zhen's consent in the end.

After Jiang Huanchu finished speaking, he glanced at Cailin without a trace, feeling helpless and grateful in his heart.

Helpless, her own daughter is expensive for a country, but she can't bear children. This is Tang's next king... Fortunately, the whole world knows that King Shang has a strong relationship with the future.

Under normal circumstances, my own daughter has not been able to add a new king to Dashang for so long, even if the Shang king abolishes the empress and accepts a concubine, the world has nothing to say.

He would even clap his hands and applaud. If it wasn't for Ye Zhen's years of retreat, Cailin would occasionally come forward to deal with some difficult problems, proving her talent to the world. After becoming a country, the people of the world would probably abuse her Endless.

"For this year's tribute, besides enjoying the guests and the host, I have two more things to announce."

"One of these is to recruit troops. The mere Dongyi ghost clan insisted on resisting our 20 elite soldiers for ten years, and it was ashamed to win. The Dongyi ghost clan is so stubborn, let alone Said that the other two families who are eyeing my big business"

"Especially the monster race in the west, it is a big problem! I just want 20 soldiers from the new dynasty, and my big business headquarters alone, but I am a little anxious."

"So... I need your loves to help me a little bit. Of course, you can do as much as you can, and I don't ask you to do so," Ye Zhen said with a smile.

After the words fell, the densely populated eight hundred princes in the hall were looking at each other, each of them was thinking about it.

"As for the second thing... but last night, the gods entrusted me with a dream, and asked me to build a high platform to guide the gods below, so as to protect my great merchant's safety and prosperity forever."

"It's just that Dashang is still in its infancy. This project of connecting the sky and the high platform is huge and involves a lot of things. It also requires some efforts from all of you. I don't know what you think?" Ye Zhen smiled.

The faces of the eight hundred princes were a little strange. It is really rare to be so confident in asking for money.

However, just when Jiang Huanchu was about to take the rhythm, one person suddenly appeared out of the crowd.

"Report to Your Majesty! I have something to say." Su Hu came out more and more.

"Oh? What does Aiqing want to say?" Ye Zhen said slowly.

"Your Majesty, now that our Dashang's national power is booming and the world is surrendering, if we recruit troops for this matter, it will undoubtedly slow down Dashang's development speed."

As he said that, Su Hu's expression turned cold suddenly, and he said, "The people of the big merchants are rich, and every family has surplus food. Although the king gave the seeds, the taxes are getting heavier every year. In the end, the people can only eat enough."

"It's fine to recruit troops, but what's the meaning of the high platform? Your Majesty is just a dream, so he has to spend a lot of money to build a high platform that reaches the sky. With such a determination, the old minister asks the king to take back his order and reduce taxes!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the expressions on the scene changed.

"Well... Su Aiqing is right, but what this king is more interested in now is that with the road, it only takes three days to travel from Jizhou City to Chaoge. Such an important day, but it takes more than ten days than those days. Aiqing, who was only able to arrive at Chaoge, was two days late."

"The king is more curious. What makes Aiqing feel more important than coming to Chaoge to see the king?" Ye Zhen smiled, but the coldness in his words made everyone present tremble. Chill from within.

"I want to prepare a tribute ceremony for His Majesty, please forgive me for coming late." Su Hu, who wanted to be more stubborn, felt the coldness getting stronger. Thinking of his wife and daughter at home, he could only restrain his bad temper .

"Really? What about your tribute?" Ye Zhen whispered.

"Your Majesty!"

It seems that he took out a book from the inner cuff pocket. Papermaking is now popularized. As one of the princes, even though the territory is small, paper can still be used.

PS: Um... more rewards from everyone. Although no name was mentioned these two days, no matter how much it is, it is support for Bronze. Bronze has been clicked one by one. Thank you for your support!

Chapter 686 I want to cut down the sky!

"Governance policy?"

Ye Zhen turned a page and looked at the three large characters on it, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"That's right, I think that no matter how much gold and silver things are, they can't compare to the policy of governing the country. The old minister wrote it in a year, and I hope the king will accept it with a smile." Su Hu saluted.

"Governance policy... Is it because you, Su Hu, feel that the king can't govern Dashang, or because you, Su Hu, want to come and sit on your own?" Ye Zhen whispered.

It's not that Ye Zhen is deliberately finding fault. Except for the king of a country, who dares to mention the word "governing the country", who can mention it?If Ye Zhen is really fatuous and unreasonable, that’s all. Even though the big businessmen are flourishing in Ye Zhen’s governance of China, they still offer some national policies for Ye Zhen to learn from.

As a courtier, let alone a vassal, what policy do you want to govern the country?

What's more, Su Hu is still a firm supporter of the Xiqi faction, Ye Zhen is too lazy to trouble him, let alone a small prince stretching his neck to scream at him in a territory the size of a bullet, and he just presented a small national policy .

What does it mean that the people of Jizhou can only eat enough? Doesn’t it mean that the rest of the food was searched by Ye Zhen? People, it is a miracle not to starve to death thousands of people in one year.

To put it bluntly, it is ungrateful, but to put it bluntly, it is ungrateful.

And from the national policy, it can be seen how unbearable Ye Zhen is in the hearts of these Xiqi factions similar to Su Hu.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen didn't want to influence these people, everything he did was just a layout.

Otherwise, the seedlings will not only be planted for one season, and if they want to plant them in the second season, they will need to buy new seedlings from the big merchants. The people in these people's territories are not loyal to the big merchants.

But if these vassals dare to rebel, have no seedlings, and have to suffer from hunger, even if they don't take action to destroy these guys, the people in the territory alone will be afraid...

"The humble minister dare not"

Su Hu quickly knelt down on the ground. Although he is a military commander, he has a bad temper, but he is not stupid. This behavior is also Ye Zhen's ten-year focus on cultivation and layout. Even Ji Chang, who sent someone to assassinate him, was not punished. People leave a bully impression of weakness.

Coupled with the fact that the tax was getting higher every year, Su Hu, who was full of resentment, had the courage to yell at Ye Zhen in this court.

However, the ministers of the academy faction couldn't bear it any longer. They first came out and saluted Ye Zhen, then pointed at Su Hu with a furious look and cursed, "Su dog thief, you are not a man! Every year, your tribute is not up to the standard, my lord." But I never condemned you.”

"If there is no king, don't say that your Jizhou city is full of food. It is the king's blessing that no one will starve to death. You dare to talk nonsense here and offer any national policy. You should be punished!"

"Your Majesty!"

The minister of the academy knelt on the ground with a plop, and said bitterly, "Please kill this traitor, Your Majesty!"

"The king can't"

Ji Chang was also helpless. Although this Su Hu was a staunch supporter of his own faction, he had a good brain, but his temper often made him lose his brain, but he couldn't protect him, so he could only bite the bullet and go out.

"Oh? Is Aiqing going to intercede for this traitor? Or do you also have a national policy that you want to dedicate to this king?" Ye Zhen asked with interest.

Ji Chang hurriedly knelt down, and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, the loyalty of a humble official can be learned from heaven and earth. I implore you to forgive Su Hu. He must have been confused for a while and thought too much about the people before he did such a thoughtless thing." ".

"Ji Chang! You're good at turning black and white and avoiding the important. Everyone here heard it before. It's been a year since this book was read by this traitor. Is it possible that his head has been... muddled for a year?"

"This also reminds me that this rebel has been thinking about how to govern the country all year long, and he has always looked down on the king. Ji Chang, you have to intercede for such a rebellious person."

Squinting his eyes slightly, the academy minister said coldly, "Could it be that you, Ji Chang, are with him!"

"I don't dare, I just..." Ji Chang quickly denied, and he was speechless towards Su Hu in his heart.

"Okay, needless to say, right is right, wrong is wrong, even if the king disturbed this guy's crime of disrespect and treason, it is a fact that Jizhou withholds tribute every year and is often late."

Ye Zhen continued to say indifferently, "If you don't put this king in your eyes, if you don't fix it, will you, Ji Chang, think that this king is easy to bully next year, so you will pull up the pole and think about taking the throne yourself?"

"Come here! Drive Ji Chang out, fine him ten times the tribute, and remove him from the position of Marquis of Jizhou, so he will be a commoner!" Ye Zhen shouted coldly.
