Chapter 439 Father and Son Discussing Wealth and Poverty
but.
Summer did not ask why.
This is not Tianxia Palace or a place to discuss politics.
He is not the Regent either.
Next.
The heroes of the Tianlang Kingdom lost their fighting spirit, and the guests and hosts of the whole banquet were all happy.
Of course, Prince Xia Yu drank a suffocating wine.
What those who admire Huyanduoer drank was the sorrow of breaking up love.
After the end.
Xia Tian was called to the imperial study by Emperor Xia.
It was late at night and the moon had risen to the sky.
The wine tonight made Emperor Xia and Xiatian blush and a hint of intoxication in their eyes.
Next to him, the historian was still awake, with his big eyes open, waiting to witness what he saw?
Eunuch Wei was serving him carefully.
finally.
Emperor Xia stared at Xia Tian for a while before he slowly spoke: "Xiao Jiu, your talent is unmatched in the world. The exit is the masterpiece of eternal songs. I am proud of you!"
Xia Tian was unmoved: "My son is frightened!"
Emperor Xia continued: "I know that we won the Tianlang Empire in the battle of Huangzhou, but we had to compensate the money, which made you feel unwilling!"
"Now the new taxes in the court will definitely put the poor in the world in a heavier burden and make them more painful in this year of natural disasters, so, what do you want to do for them!"
"So, I know that you are a literati who is patient in dealing with the Tianlang Empire, and a literati who is patient in dealing with the Tianlang Princess!"
"So, you patiently earned a million taels of gold from the Tianlang Kingdom to compensate for the Tianlang Kingdom. Do you want me to take back my life as a tax increase?"
Xia Tian said straight: "Yes!"
"My son thinks that there are constant natural disasters this year and people are in trouble. If taxes are increased, it will definitely break up countless poor families in the world and cause countless sufferings!"
"I asked my father to withdraw the new taxes!"
Emperor Xia looked complicated: "What if I said no?"
Xia Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Father, my son-in-law went all the way to the deserted states and saw countless powerful families and families. They have money, food, and some people. If they touch their interests, they can resist even the emperor's destiny."
"Their accounting is full of silver and copper coins, and I don't know how much they are?"
"Their granary is full of food, even if they eat it for ten generations, they can't finish it."
Speaking of this, Xia Tian said with a sigh: "But the poor people on the road have no food at home, so they can only dig wild vegetables, chew tree bark, dig Guanyin soil underground to wrap their belly, and want to buy a bun of salt, they have to sell their children and daughters!"
"If this tax is added to them, it will definitely force many people to death!"
"So, if you have to collect new taxes, can you only collect taxes from powerful families, families, and families?"
"snort......"
The Emperor of Heavenly Wolf narrowed his eagle eyes and said, "Natural!"
"Xiao Jiu, you have to know one thing. Whether it is the Nine Kingdoms era, the Former Qin Dynasty era or our Daxia, the pillars of the country are these powerful families, aristocratic families and clans!"
"They have money, food, and some people, and they have long been tied to my interests and can help me securely sit in the world!"
"If you only collect taxes from powerful families, aristocratic families, and family members, you will lose their support and dig your own grave!"
Speaking of this, Emperor Xia said disdainfully: "What have those poor and humble people done for me and this empire?"
"No!"
"They did nothing!"
"They are wasting food when they are alive!"
A chill flashed in Xia Tian's eyes: "The father looked down on the poor, either?"
"No!"
Emperor Xia shook his head and said, "It's not that I look down on the poor, but that no one in the world looks down on the poor."
"So, I know there is a saying among the people that laughs at the poor but not at the prostitute."
Xia Tian felt an unknown fire in his heart: "Father, because people are born differently, they are divided into different levels, some are rich and some are poor."
"It's really hard for a poor person to live."
"As the people in power, can't we give them a channel to become rich?"
"Can't you give them a hope in their lives?"
"hope?"
A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Emperor Xia's mouth and said, "Why give them hope?"
"There is a lot of wealth in this world. If everyone becomes rich, then who is the poor in this world?"
"From the original rich man?"
"That's rebellion!"
Emperor Xia said seriously: "The poor rebelled and it will be difficult for ten years!"
"But if a rich man who has someone in his hand, has money and food rebels, it will be a huge disaster."
"If you were me, would you appease the poor or the rich?"
"Of course it's rich!"
Emperor Xia asked and answered: "The poor are like weeds, and the whole world is full of them. They don't have to care about their life and death!"
The nameless fire in Xia Tian’s heart was getting stronger and stronger: “It turns out that the poor people in the eyes of the father are like this.”
Now, Xia Tian finally knows why the world is becoming more and more chaotic?
He knew why the world became poorer and poorer as the world was being governed?
At this time, Emperor Xia said with a firm look on his face: "Xiao Jiu, there is no need to say much about tax increases, my intention has been decided."
"The treasury is empty, and now it is almost impossible to even pay the salaries of all the officials of the court!"
"Now, taxes must be increased immediately to get the court out of the financial crisis!"
Xia Tian knew that the tax increase was irreversible!
The government affairs of Daxia seem to be out of control!
Besides, it's all in vain!
The Daxia court ignored the lives of the poor in the world, which would definitely make the world starve and cause chaos in the world!
Xia Tian suppressed his anger: "Father, since the tax increase has been finalized, it is late at night, my son will take his leave first!"
Emperor Xia finally couldn't help asking: "Xiaojiu, you were born as a noble man, why did you speak for those poor people?"
Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "The son's fief is in a deserted state. Among the nine sons of his father, the son's minister is a poor man."
"The deserted state of my son is also the poorest place."
"Now, the lowly people and poor people who have poured into the deserted state are all poor people that the emperor wants."
"So, my son is also poor!"
Emperor Xia sighed quietly: "The reason why your deserted state is so poor is that there are no rich people who settle in the deserted state, and no one brings wealth!"
"Do you understand?"
Xia Tian shook his head: "That's the reason!"
"But my son's deserted state does not need to migrate wealthy families, but they can become rich!"
"impossible!"
Emperor Xia looked disbelief: "This is absolutely impossible!"
"I know you have gained a fortune in the mountains of the deserted states, but it is absolutely impossible for you to want the gold and silver to support the millions of untouchables and poor people in the deserted states!"
Xia Tian said lightly: Father, sons will work hard to support them, and prove it to you!"
Emperor Xia raised his eyelids: "Okay! I'm waiting to see your ability!"
Xia Tian said with the flow: "Now, Lan'er has been enthroned and the wine has passed when he returns to the door. My ministers have nothing to do in the imperial capital. I want to return to the deserted state as soon as possible. Please forgive me!"
Emperor Xia’s eyes were complicated: “You really don’t want to be the Regent in the court?”
Xia Tian shook his head: "I don't want to!"
Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know what happened in the letter Emperor Tianlang said to me?"
Xia Tian shook her head.
Emperor Xia stared at Xia Tian’s eyes: “The Emperor Tianlang said that you have saint-level wisdom, and he likes it very much!”
"He is willing to exchange the three states of the Tianlang Empire for you to marry into the Tianlang Empire. To show his sincerity, he will marry the Tianlang Princess and the little princess to you, and also sign a 20-year uninvasive alliance with Daxia, and exempt this compensation!"
