Chapter 649 What if I have no money? Tax increase!

"Haha!" Wei Shang couldn't help laughing, "You are the most shameless envoy I have ever seen in my life, but this doesn't matter. Tell me why the Yue Empire attacked my Great Wei? What is the reason for the Yue Empire? You must know that the founding empress of the Yue Empire has established a ancestral teaching and must not interfere in any political affairs of the Wei Empire, nor can we lead troops to attack Wei. What your country has done is to deceive our ancestors and destroy our ancestors, and we are ruthless!"

Bi Xinyue first handed the declaration of war to the female official entourage behind him, and then said to Wei Shang with righteousness: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Wei, when it comes to bullying his master and destroying his ancestors, you, Wei Shang, are probably the originator of this aspect. With this alone, Dayue has enough reason to attack you, the traitor!"

"Wei Shang, cherish your current throne. I believe that it won't be long before the Prince's Palace will lead the thief army to attack!"

"Random!" Wei Shang roared angrily, suddenly stood up from the dragon chaise, pointed his hand at Bi Xinyue with wide eyes and shouted angrily: "Take it down for me, drag it out and kill it with a stick. No, take off her clothes and throw it on the street, and let the beggars in the city ravage!"

The fall of Dagu City was not enough to make him, the Emperor of the Great Wei, furious, but Bi Xinyue's words directly ignited his gunpowder barrel!

"Hmph!" Bi Xinyue snorted coldly and immediately took out a dagger from her sleeve. Seeing Bi Xinyue take out a dagger, all the civil and military officials were shocked and subconsciously exclaimed:

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Protect the car!"

Step... Step...

The Divine Emperor Palace was in chaos in an instant, and all civil and military officials gathered under the platform to protect Wei Shang. At the same time, a large number of gun-carrying troops rushed into the hall, surrounding Bi Xinyue and the two female officials' entourages three floors inside and outside.

"Get out!"

Wei Shang walked off the platform and kicked the minister who was blocking him away with one foot. At the same time, he reached out and touched the sword at his waist. With a "brush", a sharp sword light flashed with a pleasant sound of sword. After pulling out the sharp sword in the sheath, Wei Shang carried the sword toward Bi Xinyue. Today, he wanted to kill Bi Xinyue with his own hands, otherwise it would not be enough to relieve his hatred.

"Wei Shang, you will die miserably, hahaha!" Bi Xinyue laughed wildly, and then under the shocked eyes of everyone, he held the dagger and wiped it into his neck. "Puchi" blood like a spring sprayed out from Bi Xinyue's neck. The person who was alive just now quickly turned into a cold corpse on the ground.

"Puchi!"

The two female officials committed suicide back and blood splattered throughout the hall!

"hateful!"

"Damn it!"

Seeing the person who was going to kill commit suicide, an unknown anger rushed towards Wei Shangtian Linggai, causing Wei Shang to be furious and wield the sharp sword in his hand to slash the air, venting the surging anger in his heart.

This is a naked insult!

"Transfer my order to send troops to attack the moon, slaughter the Guangyue Empire, and keep no chickens and dogs!" Wei Shang gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice!

He was really angry, he had never been so angry!

The civil and military ministers knelt down on the ground, shouting loudly with an angry look: "I will obey Your Majesty's will!"

Anyone can be born, but Yueren cannot be born, and they must slaughter the country!

"Retreat!"

"I respectfully send you my Majesty, long live my emperor!"

After the scattered dynasty, the war machine of the Great Wei Empire was once again operated, and decrees were issued from the Zhongtian Emperor Capital. These decrees were not only targeted at the army everywhere, but also at the governments across the country, and at the Wei people all over the world!

Before the Great Wei Empire attacked the Great Wu Empire, the national treasury had a full 1 billion taels of silver and hundreds of millions of stones of grain. However, after the five years of battle to destroy Wu, the national treasury shrank greatly, leaving only 700 million taels of silver and 60 million stones of grain.

After destroying the Wu Empire, not only did it stop the consumption of the treasury, but it was consumed faster and faster. Because it was necessary to defend it, and it required money and food to defend it, which cost money. Therefore, after four years of the Battle of Destruction of Yue, the Great Wei treasury was only 100 million taels of silver and 20 million stones of food left.

Before Wei ascended the throne, the Great Wei carried million armors. After ascending the throne, Wei Shang expanded his army by one million. The empire had two million armored soldiers. A two million army opened its mouth, and a day was 200,000 stones, ten days was 200,000 stones, one hundred days was 2 million stones, and one hundred days was 2 million stones, and one year was more than seven million stones!

Originally, the Great Wei Empire was still self-sufficient, and there was no need to worry about food, and there was no need to worry about finance. The Great Wei had an annual fiscal revenue of 60 million taels of silver. However, after ten years of foreign war, the Great Wei's fiscal revenue dropped from 60 million taels of silver and 20 million taels of silver, and the grain tax also dropped from 20 million stones a year to 8 million stones a year!

The fiscal deficit every year has almost exhausted the huge treasury of the Great Wei Empire. Originally, Wei Shang wanted to rest for two years and restore some national strength to the Fighting Yue Empire, but in anger, he lost his patience, but what should he do if the treasury has no money or food?

Increase taxes!

For example, the head tax, male tax, land tax, emperor (emperor, empress) pass the sacred calendar tax, military tax, water conservancy tax, etc. There are only taxes you would not expect, and there are no taxes he could not receive. It can be said that as long as the emperor is willing, the people may have to pay more than a dozen taxes overnight, which can kill a wealthy people!

Emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty spent hundreds of years strengthening the country and enriching the people, abolishing dozens of miscellaneous taxes and taxes. Wei Shang spent ten years to poor people and weak picking up taxes that his ancestors had abolished. In fact, Wei Shang also understood that doing so would make the people live a hard life, but he had no choice but to go to the end. Even if he hit the south wall, he would have to knock the south wall!

After receiving the order, the army from all over the Wei Dynasty immediately led its troops to the border of the Yue Empire. After receiving the order, the governments from all over the country immediately sent people to the jurisdiction to collect various miscellaneous taxes and taxes. For a time, the people in various places complained. Perhaps because the people could still eat a bite of food and clothing, the Wei Dynasty did not rebel. Perhaps when the people could not even get a bite of food and clothing, all regions would rise up! Of course, this is a later story!

.....

On the first day of the first month of the 21st year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the fifth hour of Mao!

The Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Qilin Palace!

At this time, the sky was in a hazy state. Under the white jade ladder outside the Qilin Hall, the civil servant group led by Zhang Feizi and Chang Zifei stood on the left, and the military officer group led by Bai Qi and Du Changjing stood on the right. They were all waiting for the negotiations to begin.

After several months, all the 10 million aid food from the court arrived in various parts of Jin. Except for the troops stationed in various places who took some food as military rations, the rest of the food was distributed to the people of Jin as comfort!
