After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 56 Do You Remember?

【Since Nantou City was established as a demonstration area. 】

【Chen Huaixin never paid any attention to that place again.】

【because.】

【Business law. 】

【It is not just being implemented in Nantou City. 】

[It will eventually become one of the laws of Yu Country! ]

【“If you interfere too much.”】

[“It might affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the commercial law.”]

[“It may even cause us to fail to discover the hidden dangers!”]

[“So letting it run free is the most appropriate way!”]

【This was Chen Huaixin’s initial thought.】

[Naturally, no one in the court dared to do anything more.]

【The Minister of Revenue would observe the changes in Nantou City every once in a while.】

[Since the middle of last year, Nantou City has become more prosperous than many places in Yu Country. When overseas trade has completely become the mainstream of Nantou City, even the tax revenue of Suzhou and Hangzhou has been surpassed by it! ]

[Now, there are not only merchants from Yu Country going out to sea, but also merchants from small countries occasionally coming to Yu Country to do business through Nantou City! ]

【"and."】

“It didn’t just develop on its own.”

“The other towns nearby also benefited from it.”

[“Even Guangzhou Prefecture has benefited greatly from this!”]

[This is what the Minister of Revenue is most pleased about! ]

[Not only did he not drain the surrounding towns dry, but he was also able to help them develop. This made him even happier than an increase in tax revenue! ]

[As for the fact that the surrounding towns were affected before the commercial law was officially implemented, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, Nantou City is not an independent entity. It is closely related to the surrounding areas. It would be strange if it was not affected! ]

【"now."】

【“The towns around Nantou City.”】

【“Including Guangzhou Prefecture.”】

[“Many merchants have already hoped that the imperial court would implement commercial laws here as well.”]

[“Because the laws adopted in the two places are different, trouble often occurs.”]

[The Minister of Revenue reported to Chen Huaixin.]

[This may be one of the shortcomings of the demonstration area, which makes communication between non-demonstration areas and demonstration areas difficult.]

[If officials in Guangzhou and other places had not known how much Chen Huaixin valued the commercial law, I am afraid someone would have used the excuse that the commercial law had not been implemented locally to do something in secret.]

[So the Minister of Revenue hopes that this commercial law can be officially implemented throughout the country of Yu. Anyway, it has been tested in Nantou City for two years, and it is time to implement it. ]

【But Chen Huaixin did not answer immediately, but looked at the specific situation first.】

【After Nantou City developed with the help of maritime trade, more and more people flocked to it, causing the city itself to continue to expand, which also led to the emergence of some problems and hidden dangers. 】

[However, the local officials also knew that this was both a problem and an opportunity. If they did a good job, they would definitely be in the eyes of His Majesty. So with their efforts, these problems were quickly resolved.]

【"but."】

【“The number of Japanese pirates.”】

[“It is also growing.”]

【“The safety of the people and merchants is affected.”】

【Chen Huaixin frowned slightly.】

[According to his understanding, the existence of Japanese pirates, except for a very small number of real ronin, most of them are probably impersonators for profit! ]

[Nowadays, the trade in Nantou City has increased and the city has expanded, but the number of government officers and soldiers has not increased. It should be that some people think that robbing is faster than doing business, so they pretend to be Japanese pirates and put the blame on them! ]

[Besides that, there are no major problems! ]

[“Find a general to lead the soldiers and station them near Nantou City.”]

[“But you don’t have to stay here for too long.”][“Wait until next year.”]

[“The shipyard should have completed building a ship.”]

[“By then, we can wipe out a large number of Japanese pirates both at sea and on land!”]

【Chen Huaixin snorted coldly.】

[He doesn't care whether those Japanese pirates are real ronin or fake ronin. There are opportunities everywhere in Yu Country now. As long as you have hands and feet, you won't starve to death. But they still dare to hinder the development of Yu Country. They are just making things difficult for him! ]

[When he noticed that the Minister of Revenue was still looking at him eagerly, he nodded.]

[“Also, this commercial law can be officially implemented in Yu Country.”]

【Hearing this.】

[The Minister of Revenue was immediately filled with ecstasy.]

【"I obey the decree!"】

In the Jinluan Palace.

Wei Taihe looked at the deduced future, and his already pale face became even uglier!
Because the official implementation of this commercial law means that his life has entered the countdown!
"if only."

"This is Shang Lu."

"Let the economy of Yu Country improve a little bit more than before."

"Then I'm...completely finished!"

Wei Taihe's legs were trembling.

As the Minister of Revenue.

He is very clear.

There is a high probability that this kind of thing will happen!
The current situation of Nantou City proves this point!
In other words.

His life is like a candle in the wind!

Perhaps in the next moment he would be dragged out and executed on the spot!

Think of this.

Wei Taihe looked at some ministers in the court, hoping that they could save him, but those people warned him with their eyes and then stood there without saying a word.

He suddenly felt desperate.

Ji Changling's voice also rang out at this time.

"Minister Wei."

"The Nantou City promoted by the Shang Law Firm was also harassed by Japanese pirates."

"But under such circumstances, its tax revenue can be higher than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou!"

"But in our country."

"How come there is only less than 100,000 taels of silver?!"

Ji Changling looked at Wei Taihe.

She did not forget that Wei Taihe had previously attributed the responsibility for the low overseas trade tax revenue to her dead father and the Japanese pirates!
Although she had experienced a loving father and a filial daughter, and had spoken freely about her father several times, he was her biological father, and her ability to speak did not mean that others could throw the responsibility on him!

"and."

"The disaster that Yuguo suffered from the Japanese pirates was so severe that Chen Huaixin had to send troops to garrison there."

"Even Your Majesty is not aware of the Japanese pirates along the coast of our country, which shows that their scale is not large."

"Then why can Yu Country develop maritime trade, but my Cheng Country is no different from banning the sea?!"

Ji Changling's gaze swept across the ministers present.

And Ji Qingluo, who was sitting above, kept looking at Wei Taihe. Seeing his legs trembling and the possibility of collapsing to the ground at any time, a hint of sarcasm flashed on her beautiful face and she spoke in a cold voice.

"Minister Wei."

“I’ve been thinking about it for so long.”

"Have you ever remembered the real reason behind that overseas tax thing?!"
