Although Fei Hong is the chief assistant and Wang Qiong is in charge of the household department, one of them dislikes him and the other is slippery, but Yang Yiqing is more talkative.

When Yang Yiqing knew that she was coming, he did not hesitate and directly asked Xian Ruxing to be led to the front hall. The two exchanged a few words, and Xian Ruxing immediately explained the purpose of her visit.

"My idea is that the imperial court will spend some of the money and then distribute it to the merchants in the form of taxes. After all, they are the ones who benefit the most from building the road."

Yang Yiqing pinched his beard, his eyes were bright, and he asked curiously: "After we left that day, did you meet with His Majesty again?"

"Well, we met." Xian Ruxing paused for a moment, and then continued: "Of course, the people will definitely not be happy if such a heavy tax is distributed all at once, so we can spread the money over five to ten years, so that the burden will be reduced.

Much lighter.”

"Then what? Did you promise him?"

"...No, that's not important. Thank you. In fact, there are more economical ways. His Majesty previously proposed to reorganize the camp. If the craftsmen pay enough silver levy, they can be exempted from the corvee for the year. It has not been implemented yet. If

The imperial court has announced that the craftsmen involved in the road construction this time can be directly exempted from the next three years of labor service, and then the matter will be announced. I think the craftsmen will be more grateful, and if they are managed properly, the construction period can be further shortened."

"Oh, then why don't you agree? Your Majesty is young and handsome, and he loves you wholeheartedly."

Xian Ruxing:==

He sighed and looked at Yang Yiqing helplessly, "If Mr. Ge is like this, then let's talk about it another day. Pindao will leave first."

"Hey - wait, why don't I stop asking? The main reason is not just for myself. If you take the initiative to come to me, everyone in the cabinet will have to ask me tomorrow. The main reason is not to satisfy their curiosity.

"Yang Yiqing said sarcastically.

Xian Ruxing couldn't help but shudder when he thought of a group of senior and powerful old men who were doing nothing else but gathering around to inquire about their relationship status.

Do you want to be so gossipy!?

After coughing twice, Yang Yiqing retracted his inquiry and said seriously: "Although these points you mentioned are good, I personally am still not optimistic about the final success."

"Why?" Xian Ruxing was a little surprised.

Yang Yiqing thought for a moment and said slowly: "There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius, which is called 'Only the superior wisdom and the inferior fool will not change', which means that most people in this world can be changed, but only the superior wise and the inferior will not change."

Stupid people who wait and wait are not easy to change. Although many people in the capital can now recognize a few words, they are only rough in writing. In the final analysis, the people are still ignorant. What do you tell them about epidemic prevention and drainage? These people don't even understand

When it’s not that far away, the only thought is that you have to spend money. So instead of allocating the tax revenue to five or ten years, you can allocate it to one hundred years and let them take out a copper plate from their pockets. The people are not willing to do so.

At that time, if someone with good intentions continues to make such a fuss, the imperial court will easily be blocked and unable to come to power."

"This is below, and let's talk about the top. The places where many officials live now, including the purchased properties, are paved with stone roads. No matter how flooded the capital is, they can't be flooded. For this group of people, they wish that other places were in a mess, so they could control it.

The real estate has become more and more valuable. These people cannot be described as smart, to be precise, they are shrewd. One or two people are very clever, and it is not easy to get them to nod."

Xian Ruxing fell silent after listening to his analysis. He had to say that the other party was much better than him in terms of the human world of this era. He sighed self-deprecatingly, "Good guy, it's really hard to do something."
