Chapter 990 Strict investigation
After Zhou Yu took King Xiang Yu Qian and others to visit, he asked them to get out of here and came to Li's mansion in a carriage.
Zhou Yu got off the car and saw Li Xiyue standing at the door to greet him. Whenever he arrived at this place, Zhou Yu was most impressed by his eyes looking through Qiushui, as if he missed him so much that he would feel pain if he didn't see him for a day.
When Li Xiyue saw Zhou Yu, I felt pity for her. It seemed that the world had light and she couldn't feel artificial at all. She had a sincere emotion from the heart that made Cheng Jing Xing'an Ma Shun and others feel emotional.
This woman's feelings for her prince are truly from the heart. No wonder she can make her prince so favored her prince.
"Xiyue welcomes the master home."
As soon as Li Xiyue spoke, she felt a kind of beauty of snow turning into spring. But Zhou Yu could guarantee that Li Xiyue would not look like this on weekdays, but in the eyes of others, it was Li Xiyue's longing for Zhou Yu and her loneliness in her heart.
Smile in my heart.
However, Zhou Yu liked Li Xiyue very much. No matter how Li Xiyue performed, she was different from each other, but at least she treated others sincerely, and she really had Zhou Yu in her heart.
Li Xiyue is the most sober and salty person since she became a time traveler. All her experiences before and now are just to be able to live a stable life in this world. She is a pitiful little fool.
Her efforts were to survive, and her cleverness was to protect herself in a place of romance. In fact, she didn't rely on anyone, and she was the one who cared the least about Zhou Yu being the emperor.
But although she didn't care, Zhou Yu's identity also affected her. She said happily and wanted Zhou Yu to be as good as possible. But this is not disgust. Li Xiyue is a person with more honest physical actions than thoughts.
The most interesting point is that every time she is trying her best to make Zhou Yu feel relaxed and relieve his pressure. She seems to not care, but actually cares more than anyone else. She will take out any good things and share them with Zhou Yu as soon as possible. Her care is
The machine never works on Zhou Yu, nor does he take the initiative to ask Zhou Yu what he wants, he just wants to make Zhou Yu truly happy.
People's hearts are full of flesh. Although Zhou Yu did not arrange Li Xiyue into the palace, he also increased his protection for her. Naturally, he liked Li Xiyue more and more.
Getting off the carriage, Zhou Yu came to Li Xiyue and held her hand: "Don't you tell me not to come out to pick me up in the future? If I have something to delay, then you won't wait for a while."
Li Xiyue smiled and raised her head and replied: "Of course I have to greet you outside the door when you come back, I want you to think that I am waiting for you to come back at all times in the future."
Zhou Yu smiled and held Li Xiyue's hand and walked into the Li Mansion. In the eyes of the people behind, this scene was Zhou Yu's favor for Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue suddenly spoke: "Master, I have met the Master before."
Zhou Yu smiled: "Is that true?"
"That day, Master, you were wearing armor and wearing medals to the soldiers on the ceremony stage." Li Xiyue glanced at Zhou Yu and tentatively said carefully: "How did Master think of it?"
"What did you think of?" Zhou Yu asked deliberately: "Give the medal?"
Li Xiyue nodded: "Yeah."
"Oh, that, didn't you remind me?" Zhou Yu smiled and looked at Li Xiyue, saying, "I heard you say military merits or something before, what is a woman's military merit?... What are the battle robes or something?
Yes, after I went back, I thought about what the military medal was, and then I had this idea.”
Li Xiyue was stunned for a moment and pointed at herself with her other hand: "Did I say it?"
"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded with a smile: "For soldiers, it is a very high honor and goal to be named a marquis and worshipers, but not every soldier can have this qualification. I'm thinking later on
What should I do if I don’t make a meritorious service? At least I should let others know that the soldiers have made meritorious service. Then I thought of the military medal you mentioned, but I didn’t think the seal was very good, so I changed it to a jade pendant. I didn’t expect it to be true.
Beloved by the soldiers.”
Li Xiyue nodded confusedly: "It's great to be able to help the master."
Zhou Yu asked, "So what reward do you want."
"I don't want anything." Li Xiyue shook her head and said half-truely: "I feel very satisfied with my current life. It would be better if the master could come to accompany me more often."
"Master, I will definitely satisfy you." Zhou Yu laughed: "I will go to the villa to rest in a few days, and I will take you with me."
"Bieyuan?" Li Xiyue didn't think too much, and nodded and agreed: "Okay."
"Well, I'll send someone to pick you up in advance."
"Master, I have made another new dish. I will try it later."
"good."
It was another extreme indulgence at night, and I didn’t wake up until the sun was noon.
When he returned to the palace, someone came to tell King Xiang. Yu Qian had been waiting for a long time. When Zhou Yu heard this, he asked someone to call the two of them in front of him.
"See the Emperor."
Zhou Yu asked, "Get up, I heard you came early in the morning, what's wrong with waiting for me?"
King Xiang took the lead: "Emperor, Jiangnan has been a prosperous place since ancient times, but now the tax proportion in other places except Nanzhili is very small. Fujian and his delegation let the ministers know that the various places are not without money but all the money.
They were all swallowed up by the rich families in various places and could not afford the money. I am willing to go to Jiangnan and his party to thoroughly investigate and recover the taxes that the Ming Dynasty should have."
The tax potential of the Ming Dynasty at this time was at least hundreds of millions of yuan, but the tax collected every year was only 20 million taels. This tax was not only used to exploit the people to get so much, but it should get so much normally, with a gap of five to ten times, and
Most of them were swallowed up by the nobles and gentry from all over the country.
From Zhou Yu's perspective, the existence of these things was not good for the Ming Dynasty, and the disadvantages were more than the benefits. The people of the Ming Dynasty were originally kind and hardworking, and they did not need these things that were nothing to assist the rule of the court.
And management, these things that are nothing have gradually become the biggest cancer that is adsorbed on the Ming Dynasty.
It is a matter of time before it can be eradicated. Zhou Yu has been preparing for this, but he has not found a reasonable reason. He is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, but has never happened as he wants.
Zhou Yu looked at Yu Qian: "Where are you?"
"Your Majesty, I went back last night and thought about it all night..." Yu Qian frowned and said slowly: "I feel that there may be a rebellion of Japanese pirates along the coast. There may be others supporting the rebellion in Fujian and other places.
