and rise

Emperor Emperor practiced all year round and handed over the world to the ministers of the imperial capital and the princes of all sides. Only when the Celestial Empire had a great disaster would he take action and did not interfere in the daily affairs of the Celestial Empire too much, and he paid attention to the rule of inaction.

When the emperor first saw the account books of food, grass and wealth paid tribute by the princes from all sides, the emperor was slightly surprised.

The tributes of Xi State increased sharply year by year, and the stalking growth of the tributes of the princes of various parties and even decreasing year by year. Especially in the first year after Xi State swallowed the Mo State, the tributes of Xi State doubled directly to a huge amount of millions of stones, becoming the vassal of the princes in the world with the largest tributes!

On the one hand, this shows that the talent of Xiyun Marquis in governing the country is worthy of his reputation, and his national strength is increasing day by day, and he is actually a genius of the world. On the other hand, it also proves that the princes of all walks of life have reclaimed private fields and abandoned the well fields.

Di Mu snorted coldly: "My dear friends, take a look. You said that Xiguo has become a bad guy. Ran Xiguo is ranked first in the world for tribute this year."

The ministers looked cold, and they quickly used their mental power to flip through the account books, and immediately looked at each other.

The tribute paid by Xiguo has increased year by year, and the tributed food this year has reached one million stones, which has left the princes far behind!

The ministers found Xiguo to take the blame, but now that Xiguo is paying high tribute in front of them, they are speechless. Even Mr. Jiang, who was swearing to accuse Xiguo at the beginning, pretending to be nothing and dare not say much.

The essence of the well-field system is that the nine fields in the world are used as king fields, and the emperor pays food, grass and wealth. What the emperor asked for is nothing more than the tribute of "the nine fields are used as one".

Although the Xi Kingdom does not conform to the well-field system in form, it actually always adheres to the well-field system in essence, and millions of stones of grain are clear.

If you criticize Xi for this, what will the princes say?!

No comparison, no harm!

Compared with Xi State, the princes of various vassals were far behind. The second place paid tribute to only 600,000 shi, and the tribute to many vassal states decreased year by year, making it perfunctory.

"These princes who followed Xi's country only learned to reclaim private land. Why don't they learn to learn from Xi's country to pay tribute? All the kings are under the sky. In the eyes of the princes from all sides, there is still the emperor and the heavenly dynasty!"

"I don't dare! The emperor calms down!"

Emperor Mu was furious in the Golden Palace, and the ministers were trembling. In the rage, no one dared to be troubled.

At this time, the old Situ stood up and said, "Sir, the deterioration of the well-field system has become a foregone conclusion, and reprimanding is useless. According to what the old ministers see, it should be determined that the world's land should be included in the well-field system, take one of the nine, and urge the princes of all parties to pay tribute and pay taxes!"

Hearing the old Situ's words, Di Mu's face calmed down slightly. Although he was determined to punish the princes in the world to serve as a warning and demonstrate the authority of the emperor, this matter was of great importance. There were not many princes in the world who were clean and should not be investigated in depth. The most urgent task was to receive enough taxes to maintain the expenses of Yunshi, the emperor's tribes.

"Old Situ's words are reasonable." Di Mu first recognized Old Situ's approach. In fact, he was not resistant to the corruption of the Well-field system, but on the contrary, he was happy that the Celestial Empire became richer and more prosperous.

The only problem is that the wealth belonging to the Celestial Empire and the Emperor was embezzled by the princes from all sides.

Who can bear it if you grab meat from the emperor’s bowl?
