When the imperial carriage set out again, all the officials from Dingxing breathed a sigh of relief.

They are afraid of the emperor's majesty, and they are even more afraid of the Western Army's majesty.

The magistrate of Dingxing looked at the lingering distance in the night wind and his eyes turned dark, and he could hardly hold on to his body.

The Western Army is here.

From then on, he might have the final say on his decisiveness.

"Sir, should the Western Army Caravan collect taxes afterwards?" the chief clerk came over and asked.

The county magistrate glared fiercely, are you two hundred and fifteen?

"If it is an ordinary caravan, every state and every county will collect taxes, this is a hidden rule. But if you dare ask the Western Army has collected taxes many times, aren't you afraid that they will turn around and kill back?" The county magistrate said with a smile, "I'm afraid, please retreat."

The chief clerk was nothing, he just felt that it was a pity for this matter, but other people in the county government had their opinions.

They all saw that the caravan followed the army and the supplies supplied were not only a lot of food coupons and silver coins in the Western Army. If they could collect some food coupons from the Western Army, they would be a good item that the kings were jealous of.

But the county magistrate did not speak, and they did not have the courage to find the caravans that were preparing to withdraw from the pass or continue to march to various parties to collect taxes.

It’s strange that the state dynasty emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce, but the commercial tax is very low. The court meant that merchants were low and did not even have the qualifications to pay more taxes. In this way, civilians were naturally restricted to the land. But which of those high-ranking households did not open shops or did not do transportation? The caravans had to pay taxes wherever they went. Pay taxes once in one place, pay a little in each place, and earn a little in each place. This became a conventional unspoken rule.

The rise of the Western Army broke this unspoken rule. Pay taxes once during production, pay taxes once when they come out of customs, and pay taxes once when they arrive at the Xi'an Prefecture in the court set up by the imperial court. Then there is no need to pay taxes. Wherever you need to collect taxes, then you can wait to collect warning letters from the Western Army.

The old emperor also considered promoting this tax payment system everywhere, but there were people who opposed it everywhere.

For the civil servant group, their disciples and former officials are spread all over the world, and finance and taxation must be included in the court's coordination, so their disciples will not be able to start with the business taxation.

The nobles were unwilling to take this part into the court. The power in their hands with the court was reduced again after the court controlled the finance and taxation.

Ordinary caravans are unwilling to let the court take away financial and tax rights, so the court cannot tell what can be done by local governments.

Therefore, it took King Yue more than ten years to accomplish this, and even if he mastered the Ministry of Revenue, it would be useless.

On the imperial carriage, the old emperor was napping and thinking about this matter. The King of Yue could blame him in other aspects, but he had a clear conscience in the acceptance of the financial and taxation power to the court.

It also contributed to the country.

Unfortunately, King Yue does not have that ability.

Where is the Western Army?

"It's easy." The old emperor knew very well that with an army in his hand, no one dared to object. King Yue was a vassal king. If he dared to openly get involved in the army, it would be the best excuse for the civil servant group to completely eliminate him.

Then what if the Ministry of Revenue handed over to Wei Yang?

"This guy won't accept it." The old emperor had a headache. In the future, the first thing the emperor's grandson had to solve was the major political stability. If the commercial tax could not be unified and coordinated to the court, this would be a huge constraint.

If we want to solve this problem, Wei Yang will have to hand over part of the military power to others, but if it is not solved, it will not be able to develop rapidly.

Liu Daxia's old face turned red. If it weren't for the complete inability to do so, who would have done this?

"The Western Army used its dignified formation to cut the waves, but the cabinet was thinking of using conspiracy to calculate the morale of the army. What should the cabinet use to compete with the Western Army for morale?" Wang Shouren was furious, "You should think about it. No one can take away the army of Shanhaiguan. If the emperor does not issue an order, the general of the subordinate cannot be taken away. If the Western Army cut off the supply of supplies, the Duke may have to use his own lives to face the anger of the 130,000 army. At that time, the Hu people in foreign countries rebounded and the Western Army entered the capital to serve the king. How could the Duke deal with it?"
