Dinner is a good diet, which makes it easier to melt after use at night.

"I have been with Your Majesty for several years. This is the first time I have seen you stay up late to review the memorial."

Xie Lang smiled and said, "In the past, I didn't stay up late, but the people below were diligent. Now I stay up late is naturally because of the many disadvantages of the Nanli regime."

"You can believe that the territory of Nanli is nearly twenty times larger than that of Dazhou, but the food tax in Nanli was not as high as that of Dazhou last year? You should know that the total number of soldiers in Dazhou nationwide is less than 100,000, while Nanli is 800,000."

Gao Zhen was really shocked, "Your Majesty, why is this?"

After saying that, he suddenly fell to the ground, "I should die, and I should not discuss the government affairs."

"At up, I just said it casually. It has nothing to do with you, don't make a fuss."

Gao Zhen stood up with a chuckle, "Nanli is really not as good as our Dazhou."

"Nanli's land in recent years is almost controlled by the great families, and these people do not need to pay grain taxes. The rest is mostly controlled by the rich gentry in various places. According to some unwritten regulations, the rich gentry mainly pays business miscellaneous taxes, and the grain tax is almost ignored."

"Regularly, the people in Nanli are burdened with heavy burdens. The grain reserves of the states and prefectures are paid by the people at the bottom. However, most of them are rented arable land from the homes of the landlords and Fushen. Every year, more than half of the production in the fields is handed over to the landlords, and the rest is also subject to grain tax. The food left in their hands is very small, so that most people cannot eat enough and cannot eat enough food all year round."

Gao Zhen now understood that almost all the food in the entire territory was controlled by famous families or local tyrants. In order to satisfy their selfish desires, they did not care about how the people below survived.

The seemingly prosperous Nanli country is actually a vague and vague person with a glorious surface.

Compared to their Great Zhou, Nanli is really extremely corrupt.

"Nanli has not been destroyed yet, just because Northern Liang and Western Chu are almost the same, and no one is better than anyone else."

After saying that, Xie Lang lowered his head and ate the food in front of him. Although she was hungry, she still focused on 70% fullness in her meals and would not let herself be over.

I simply used a bowl of porridge and a little side dish and let Gao Zhen take it down.

"You go and rest too, I don't need it here."

"Let me wait by my side. Grinding your Majesty can save your energy."

"You are at your age, so don't stay with me, so you won't be able to survive your wife."

"..." Gao Zhen was hit hard and finally left silently with the food box.

What Your Majesty said is that he is old and he really needs to maintain his health.

After staying up all night, Xie Lang looked very good.

He lifted up a handful of water and poured it on his face, and soon he woke up completely.

I used to stay awake for days and nights but still full of energy, but now I can’t do it anymore. I have been living a pampered life for several years and feel less crisis than before. This is not a good phenomenon.

But staying up late is not a good thing. In order to live longer, you should pay attention.

"Your Majesty..." Gao Zhen trotted in all the way, "Mr. Zhou ordered people to whip the secret letter."

"Oh?" Xie Lang took it, opened it, glanced at it quickly, and smiled, "He understands what I think."

Gao Zhen didn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask, but he was naturally happy to see His Majesty happy.

Zi Jin and Zi Pei were already serving her. They helped Xie Lang change her clothes and tie her hair up again. Then they were sent by Xie Lang.

They don’t need to follow the morning court. They just need to have some breakfast and go back to sleep.

Gao Zhen asked someone to bring breakfast, and after she used it, she would accompany her to court.

"How are the chores in the palace dealing with?"

"When you go back to Your Majesty, all those who have the intention to leave the palace have been exposed, and the rest are willing to stay. I have sent people to the palaces everywhere. However, I asked Your Majesty for advice, what should the people who came with Shengjing do to deal with it?"

“How many follow?”

"There were more than 700 people left in Shengjing Palace before, and nearly 400 people followed him this time, and the rest remained there."

After pondering for a moment, Xie Lang said, "They are all miserable. Let them leave. In this situation, there may be nowhere to go. After people come, they will open a seat in the palace. I will find someone to teach them, and after learning, they will be sent to them on duty. When the personnel are in place, they will set up express stations and banks, which will allow them to find their own value."

When Gao Zhen heard this, this was a remarkable thing.

Your Majesty really thinks about them.

You should know that the people in the palace are all in the inner prisoners except for the palace maids. Anyone who can move around in the harem is already useless people, and they are not considered men at all.

A man loses the ability to pass on his family line and is despised by others everywhere.

Apart from staying in the palace, they no longer have a foothold outside the palace. Even if they find a job after leaving the palace, they cannot carry their hands and cannot resist the shoulders, and they are unwilling to use you.

Their only fate is to die in the palace.

Nowadays, those who are suffering have the opportunity to study, and I think many people will be happy.

Even if Gao Zhen has no intention of leaving the palace, he will stay with His Majesty for the rest of his life, but he will be happy for those same people.

"I thank Your Majesty for them!"

"Get up, it's mainly because you can't let so many people go in the palace. You can always eat free meals when you stay in the palace." Xie Lang is not a purely good person, "It's because you have no other way to go except to be loyal to me, so I'll be relieved to use you."

Gao Zhen was moved at this time and wanted to give all his life to Xie Lang.

This is a great kind of grace for knowing one's experience. It was her who gave a person like her a rootless person the day to stand up and be a human being.

After breakfast, Gao Zhen served Xie Lang to court.

After the court officials knelt down, Xie Lang looked through the memorials on the table and sent back more than a dozen copies.

"Those who have good fortune and honor will give mercy as appropriate and will not pay tribute. Don't mention these words in the future." Xie Lang continued those memorials in the hall without any politeness. "It is your business to get fame and glory in the family, but it is your duty and responsibility to be an official in the court to seek welfare for the people of the world. These people hold more than half of the land in my Great Zhou and put the heavy tax on the people below. These people do not want to set an example, but instead lick their faces and ask me to show kindness from all sides. They will be complacent if they make some achievements, and think that they can escape the constraints of the law. Then the law formulated by my Great Zhou is a decoration? Having a reputation and thinking of seeking profits, isn't this a waste of fame?"

"The only thing that makes me happy is that the Ministry of Revenue did not report a memorial for this, which shows that you have carefully calculated the accounts."

The Minister of Revenue stood up with awkward expression, "When I go back to your Majesty, I led my staff to the government office to carefully proofread it. Over the past few hundred years, the grain tax collected by the court has decreased layer by layer by layer. Until today, compared with the grain tax collection fifty years ago, it has been reduced by nearly 70%.
