Chapter 229 is enough

This is rewarded by civil and military ministers, and it is impossible for them to ignore the people of the world. This is not in line with Zhang Jiuzhen's personality.

So Zhang Jiuzhen said again: "From today, the slavery system will be abolished, and from now on, the Great Qi State will have no slaves, only the people.

All slaves will be free and treat the people equally. All the people will distribute land, regardless of gender, and all newly issued land will be exempted from taxes within three years for the people to recuperate.

As for the drought-affected areas in the five continents, they will be exempted from tax for ten years. They will also open warehouses to provide relief to the people and try to save lives and help the wounded, so as not to cause harm to the people.

I am passing on my order, and I ascend the throne and become emperor, and celebrate the whole country and amnesty the whole world. All misdemeanors who are to be released within one year will be released and returned home."

Zhang Jiuzhen opened her mouth and the billions of slaves in Qi State recovered her freedom.

With Zhang Jiuzhen's mouth open, all the land in Qi State was divided up.

Zhang Jiuzhen opened her mouth and had a few years of taxes was wasted. How can this work?

Many civil and military officials did not care about the etiquette rules of the throne ceremony at this time, and knelt on the ground one by one to persuade Zhang Jiuzhen not to do so.

"Emperor, taxes in the world are the foundation of the country's fortune. If taxes are not collected, how will the dynasty be operated? How can the salaries of civil and military officials in the court be paid? How can the tens of millions of state soldiers in the local area be paid? This is absolutely impossible."

"Yes, yes, my master, this is absolutely impossible. The people can give them a little favor. If they exempt their taxes and make their lives too good, they will become restless.

Moreover, these slaves cannot be released, so they have restored their freedom. Who will do the work for the court in the future, this mine, this field, the palace, and the building?

Hiring someone to do it is another huge expense. Anyway, they have been used to being slaves for generations, so it doesn’t matter whether they are free or not. Let the emperor take it back."

"Yes, yes, the emperor, please give it a clear view. The rest is okay. But the most important thing is this tax. Tax is the foundation of the operation of the court. If it is exempted, the court will not be able to maintain it and the dynasty will perish."

Zhang Jiuzhen laughed in her heart, thinking that what does it have to do with me when the demise of the dynasty ends?

I came to power because the people felt that I was benevolent and righteous. After I came to power and became emperor, if the people still did not get any benefits, how would they support themselves?

Only when the people support themselves and the position of the emperor can we sit a little more at ease. Otherwise, you civil and military officials will lie on the common people like before and suck bones and marrow. I, as the emperor, will not be at ease, and I will not be at ease.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiuzhen said in a deep voice: "The people are the foundation of the world and the foundation of the dynasty. Only when the people can live, live and live a stable life, can the dynasty be stable.

If there are five states in Jiuzhou today, there are severe droughts in them. Do you still expect to collect taxes from these states?

Are you going to force all these ordinary people to death?

If they are forced to death, can they collect it?

The ministers were speechless.

Zhang Jiuzhen continued, "Since I can't get it, why not just avoid it. As for opening a warehouse to provide disaster relief, these should be found in themselves. Should the court watch them die?

If the court watched the people starve to death and remained indifferent, who could support such a court?

Besides, the court helped them and allowed them to survive. When the disaster passed, when the tax exemption period came, they would naturally be grateful to the court to resume tax payments, and the court would have more taxes at that time.

Isn't this better than starving to death and no one paying taxes?

As for slaves, this itself is contrary to human will. A country, a dynasty, and its establishment must be just and legal. What's wrong with slaves?

Can some people be born with high standards, while others should be born with pigs, cattle, dogs and horses, and work for a lifetime without food and clothing?

Do you feel fair on such days?

Although I cannot make everyone feel fair, I cannot make everyone born in the palace, and enjoy wealth and honor like a prince after birth.

But you have to give the lowest-level people some basic living space. You can't suppress them too much, or they will stand up and resist sooner or later."

Of course, Zhang Jiuzhen's words were reasonable, but all the civil and military officials sneered at them and did not take them seriously.

An official said: "Master, what are you afraid of the common people rebelling? No matter how many people rebel, they just need to send state soldiers to suppress them. If it really doesn't work, they can also send strong cultivators to kill them all. Once and for all. Isn't this much better than exempting taxes?

Furthermore, the court supports the army just to prevent it before it happens. The so-called "raising troops for a thousand days is used for a moment" means that it is said.

Therefore, the emperor does not need to worry about the people rebelling. What are the fears of the people rebelling? The emperor does not need to worry too much."

"Yes, yes, yes, let alone the people are powerless, even if they all have the fear of practicing, they are just ants in front of powerful practitioners.

So please don’t worry, the emperor, anything in this world is much more important than the people’s rebellion. Since ancient times, I have never heard of any dynasty that was destroyed by the people’s rebellion.”

The Yanggu Continent regards the strong as the most respected, and everyone advocates cultivation. The practitioners have excellent skills. Treating the people who do not practice, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth.

Cultivators often breathe a breath and can easily kill hundreds or thousands of people. For the Six-Secret Realm of the Seven Gods, it is even more like a slight wave of hands and stomping their feet. I am afraid that the people will suffer from hundreds of thousands or millions of casualties.

Under such a strong distance, there is really no need to worry about the people rebelling and shaking the rule of the dynasty.

It is precisely because of this reality that all the civil and military officials, as well as the emperors, were the least worried about the people.

"Enough."

Zhang Jiuzhen was covered in fire when they said that he was angry and shouted loudly. Zhang Jiuzhen cursed: "You bastards, when did you forget your roots?

You don’t think about it, are your ancestors born to be powerful practitioners?
