Starting From Bandits, My Younger Brother Is More Than A Million

However, before the banquet, Lu Qi also issued several decrees.

First of all, of course, it is the will of conferring Yu Shuning as empress and Ling'er as imperial concubine.

In the harem, the queen is naturally the biggest, followed by the imperial concubine.

After that, there are noble concubines, concubines, concubines, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, beauties, talents, nobles, servants, ladies and so on.

But now there are only Yu Shuning and Linger in Lu Qi's harem.

After conferring Yu Shuning and Ling'er, Lu Qi announced two more decrees one after another.

The first one is that starting today, the Daqin agricultural tax will be adjusted to 30 taxes, and then the corresponding Daqin commercial tax will be adjusted to 10 taxes and 2.

In the past, the agricultural tax in the Song Dynasty was ten taxes and three taxes, that is to say, private farmers worked hard to cultivate for a year, and 30% of the income was used to pay taxes to the royal family.

This tax rate is not low.

Lu Qi directly lowered the agricultural tax to 30 one, which is the first time in history, and it is definitely not much. It can be regarded as a great gift.

This is easier to win the hearts of the people than the previous amnesty.

In terms of commercial tax, there was no commercial tax in the Song Dynasty before, or in other words, all dynasties in Kyushu did not have commercial tax.

The superficial reason is that the ruling class of the Kyushu Dynasty followed the principle of not competing with the people for profit.

But the essential reason is because of the existence of the aristocratic family.

After all, the real rich businessmen dare not say all of them, but most of them are dogs raised by these aristocratic families.

If the business tax is collected, isn't it cutting the flesh of these aristocratic families?

Naturally, they would not agree with the emperor to do such a thing.

However, since Lu Qi destroyed the four great families, the families in Daqin have seen the situation clearly. At this time, when Lu Qi announced that he would collect commercial tax, none of the court officials dared to stand up and say to Lu Qi that the royal family should not Such words as competing with the people for profit.

They have long been scared of being killed by land equipment.

So violence is definitely not the best way to solve things, but it is indeed the easiest way.

As long as you are strong enough, no one will dare to disobey your will.

In the second imperial decree, Lu Qi announced to build a recruiting platform in the capital city to recruit talents from all over the world to serve as officials in the imperial court. Regardless of their background or origin, as long as they can pass the test on the recruiting platform, they can be reused by the court.

The results of the scientific research will not be available until May at the earliest. Before that, Lu Qi must find a way to ease the pressure on the imperial court to employ people.

That's why he came up with such a way.

After all the edicts were announced, the banquet began.

At the same time, dozens of soldiers of the Imperial Army rode out of the capital on horseback, and with the capital as the center, they rushed towards other cities in the Great Qin Dynasty.

All the imperial decrees announced by Lu Qi in the court today, they will let them spread throughout Qingzhou and Xuzhou in the shortest possible time.

In a restaurant in Anning City, Qingzhou.

"Have you heard that Da Song is dead!"

The restaurant was bustling with excitement, when someone suddenly announced a shocking news.

Although Lu Qi has been the emperor for two months, the news is still limited to the city of Kyoto and the vicinity of Kyoto.

No matter how far away, although there are rumors, there are not many places where the authenticity of the news can be confirmed.

However, as news of the imperial decree spread from the capital, the people of the two prefectures finally confirmed that it was true.

"Hey, I didn't expect Da Song to die so silently, and I don't know what kind of person the new emperor is?" Someone said with emotion and worry.

"Oh, let me tell you, this new emperor can definitely be regarded as the wise emperor through the ages. Do you know what His Majesty has done during this time?" Someone with better information immediately stood up and said to the people in the restaurant .

People in the restaurant looked at him curiously.

The man continued: "I won't say much else, just two things, Youyun Sixteen States, do you know?"

"How could it be possible not to know that those damned Xiongnu barbarians have occupied my sixteen prefectures of Youyun for fifty years and bullied me in nine prefectures. It's hateful. I'm just a scholar. I want to kill thieves, but I can't recover!" A young man said. The scholar said with a sad face.

Hearing this, the faces of other people in the restaurant showed the same indignation, only the person standing in the middle smiled.

"Haha, then I guess you will never have a chance in this life." The man laughed.

When everyone heard his laughter, they cast angry glances one by one.

The man was so scared that he immediately explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not gloating, but Youyun Sixteen Prefectures have been taken back by His Majesty, and all those Huns and barbarians have been driven back to the north of Cangya Mountain."

As soon as these words came out, the whole restaurant was in an uproar.

"What! Youyun Sixteen States have been recovered!"

"This statement is true!"

"You didn't lie to us!"

The man said seriously: "How could I lie to you about such an important matter? Let me tell you that there are two generals under His Majesty's command today, one is Wen Hou Lu Fengxian, and the other is Mr. Wolong Zhuge. Both of them are third rank Wufu, since the Yanmen Pass was taken by the Huns, Your Majesty..."

Here is a vivid account of what happened in the city of Kyoto from the Chinese New Year to the present, and I can't help but dance when it's exciting.

Everyone in the whole restaurant was excited.

After he finished speaking, everyone in the restaurant clapped and applauded.

"Okay, this is what my Kyushu emperor should look like. I want to be so domineering, kill the prince of the Xiongnu, retreat millions of Xiongnu cavalry from Yanmen, recover the sixteen states of Youyun, and drive out the barbarians of the Huns. An emperor like this is the people of my Great Song Dynasty. How lucky!" Someone exclaimed.

Immediately, someone reminded him: "Wrong, wrong, Song has already died, and now it is because of Qin."

The man quickly patted his mouth: "Yes, yes, I made a slip of the tongue, Daqin is good, Daqin is good."

After everyone calmed down a bit, the person standing in the middle started to say 950 again: "Do you think this is over?"

Everyone immediately became interested again: "Is there any more?"

The man nodded: "Of course, do you know what His Majesty announced at the enthronement ceremony a few days ago?"

He sold a pass.

"What else can it be? It's nothing more than amnesty for the world. Isn't this the same way for the enthronement ceremonies of the emperors of the major dynasties in Kyushu?"

Amnesty to the world is actually nothing unusual.

When the new emperor enthrones, he will give amnesty to the world, when he passes his birthday, he will also give amnesty to the world, and when there are important celebrations, he will also give amnesty to the world.

Even Emperor Yongxing has pardoned the world many times during his decades of reign.

Amnesty does not mean releasing all sinners at once.

Heinous, have you heard of it?

The ten crimes of treason, treason, treason, evil treason, immorality, disrespect, filial piety, disharmony, injustice, and civil strife will not be let go even when the world is amnesty.

But even so, amnesty is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.

Because there will always be some rotten people who have been subjugated to continue to harm the people.

For ordinary people, the benefit of amnesty is not as great as the court imagined.

Hearing this, the person standing in the middle smiled slightly and said: "If that's the case, how can I say that His Majesty is definitely Kai Gu Mingjun?"

"Why? Is there any other purpose?" Everyone asked. .
