Palace of Eternal Life.

The Grand Marshal Yang Qinglin had just left, and the Minister of Justice came to ask for a meeting.

"Prince!"

Li Si sat upright on the dragon throne and said casually.

"After the order." The eunuch who was close to him retreated.

A moment later, the Minister of Justice walked into the Hall of Longevity.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

The Minister of Justice said respectfully.

Li Si looked at the Minister of Justice and said, "What's the matter with you, my dear?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister came to report that the prisoner Yuan Zai wanted to see Your Majesty."

The Minister of Justice bowed and said.

"Yuanzai?"

Li Si was slightly stunned.

Li Si still had some impression of this Yuanzai.

In Li Si's memory, Prime Minister Yuan Zai was a greedy man in the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Si dismissed Yuan Zai as prime minister, he found jewellery property worth 50 million taels from his mansion.

You know, even if the annual tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty was only a few million taels of silver, less than ten million taels.

A Yuan Zai, the silver embezzled was actually taxed for more than five years of the Tang Dynasty!

A Yuanzai made the Tang Dynasty chaotic!

How terrible is this?!

If there were more corrupt officials in the court, wouldn’t the Tang Dynasty have no money to use?

Therefore, Li Si sent Yuan Zai to the Ministry of Justice on the spot, waiting for the death of Qiu Hou to be executed.

However, what Li Si could not have imagined was that Yuan Zai was going to see the emperor now?

"Have he said something?"

Li Si looked at the Minister of Justice and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, the prisoner Yuan Zai, to tell the old minister that what he wants to say to Your Majesty is a top secret, so the old minister dare not ask too much."

The Minister of Justice immediately replied.

"A top secret matter?"

Li Si sneered.

He wanted to know how secret what Yuan Zai said was.

If this top secret can really impress the emperor, then Li Si wouldn't mind listening more.

If he couldn't fight, Li Si would probably let Yuan Zai walk from the East Factory dungeon.

There are countless tortures in the Dongchang dungeon. By then, Yuan Zai would probably be hard to die.

"Put Yuan Zai to the palace. I see if the secret in his heart can be called a top secret."

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the Minister of Justice immediately bowed and said, "Abide by the order."

After the Minister of Justice finished speaking, he stood up and left the Hall of Changsheng. According to His Majesty's order, he brought the prisoner Yuan Zai to the palace.

Wang Mu officially joined the court as the top scholar in the imperial examination.

The relationship between the Tang Dynasty officialdom was complicated, but because Wang Mu and three others were the first disciples of the emperor, no one dared to make things difficult for them as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

After Wang Mu entered the court and contacted the ministers, the little bit of satisfaction in his heart was immediately blown away.

Which official of the fourth rank or above in the Chaozhou Martial Arts is not the top scorer and is the second-tier Tanhua?

What is Wang Mu compared to him?

The only title of Emperor's disciple was due to the restructuring of the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty.

After realizing this, Wang Mu immediately adjusted his attitude and studied the various measures he had issued since the emperor ascended the throne day and night.

Wang Mu was shocked by this research.

When I was today, the first thing I did ascend to the throne was to order the Minister of Revenue to investigate the land in the world.

Then carry out land reform.

Implement a tax system based on a mu.

This approach greatly alleviates the problem of land annexation.

The tax revenue of the court also increased.

This reform was a world-renowned world. From then on, there will never be any tax-free scene in the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Mu was trembling all over excitedly, and his respect for the emperor was beyond words.

Wang Mu firmly believed in his heart that if the land reform was fully implemented, the treasury of the Tang Empire would be useless from now on.

Once upon a time, Wang Mu was also ambitious and wanted to assist the current emperor.

But now it seems that the emperor is far from being able to achieve his great talent and strategy.

Wang Mu, who is qualified to assist the current emperor?

However, Wang Mu not only did not worry about this, but was more and more grateful.

The Tang Dynasty was awarded the holy king, which was the blessing of the world and the people!

Wang Mu calmed down and continued to study.

Soon, Wang Mu saw the emperor's commercial tax reform and the cancellation of the checkpoint tax.

Once the checkpoint tax is cancelled, the income of merchants in the Tang Dynasty will inevitably increase, and the commercial tax will naturally rise.

This alleviated the immediate urgent situation of the Tang Dynasty.

One land reform, one commercial reform, one front and one back, one long and one short term, completely solved the Tang Dynasty treasury problem.

If the national treasury is sufficient, the Tang Dynasty will have the confidence to reopen the prosperous era!

Wang Mu's mind was in agitation and wished he could bow to the emperor to express his fanaticism.

Wang Mu calmed down, but found that the cancellation of the checkpoint tax could certainly increase the treasury income for the Tang Dynasty, but it improved the status of merchants.

Merchants have always been profit-oriented and have a strong sense of philanthropy. If merchants are made bigger, they will dominate the Tang Dynasty's atmosphere, and good fortune will be unpredictable.

In the eyes of businessmen, money can help the gods, and some businessmen even openly ignore the imperial power for money.

If this phenomenon is not controlled, it may shake the country.

A deep worry emerged in Wang Mu's heart

The Minister of Justice rushed back to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and came to Yuan Zai.

"Will your Majesty see me?"

Yuanzai asked nervously.

The Minister of Justice did not speak, but instead looked at Yuan Zai.

Just when Yuan Zai felt cold and thought that His Majesty had not even seen him, the Minister of Justice finally spoke: "Come with me."

soon.

The Minister of Justice brought Yuan Zai into the palace.

Yuan Zai walked in this palace and felt very emotional.

Since he was deposed as prime minister and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, Yuan Zai never thought that one day he would still be able to walk in this palace.

Yuan Zai clenched his fists.

He Yuanzai must seize this opportunity and regain the emperor's favor.

Outside the Hall of Eternal Life.

After the Minister of Justice waited for the eunuchs to report, he took Yuan Zai into the hall.

Yuan Zai knelt directly in front of the dragon's desk with a thud.

"Caomin Yuanzai, thank you for your kindness."

Yuan Zai said loudly.

Li Si sat on the dragon throne and looked at Yuan Zai who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up."

"Tell me what you said about the top secret?"

"If I find out that you are cheating on me, you should know what the consequences will be? "
