    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1285

    "You are doing nothing in the palace anyway, why not run some shops, which can not only pass the time, but also earn some pocket money for future children."

    Chen Ziang looked at the two wives who were full of doubts, and joked with a smile.

    After hearing what Chen Ziang said, Chen Xiaoyu and Chu Yue also blushed, looked around, showing shyness.

    "But our status is not convenient for publicity, what should we do?"

    Although Chen Xiaoyu was also a little emotional, she was the emperor's woman after all. If she was doing business outside, she would be afraid that people would gossip and say that she was taking profits from the people.

    "You don't have to show your face in person, you just need to be behind the scenes and send someone to take care of it in front of you." Chen Ziang said.

    "But if we open a shop, what will we sell?"

    Chu Yue also frowned, asking for Chen Ziang's opinion.

    "As long as you are willing, I can give you some advice." Chen Ziang looked confident.

    Chen Ziang had a lot of money-making ideas in his head, but he couldn't do it himself, so he had to ask his two wives to come forward.

    The reason why Chen Ziang wanted the two wives to intervene in the business was because he wanted to play a leading role and make the business flourish.

    The imperial courts of all dynasties almost implemented land fiscal policies, that is, taxes were collected from the fields.

    After all, the imperial court had to support officials at all levels, as well as the royal family and the army. All kinds of expenses can be said to be very high.

    The imperial court has no other source of taxation, so it can only collect taxation from the people layer by layer.

    The people have worked so hard to grow food for a year, and the final result is that 70% to 80% of the harvest is paid as taxes. No matter how hard they work, they still live a life without food.

    If there is a slight famine, people may starve to death due to lack of food.

    Fortunately, the imperial court levied very few taxes on officials, scholars and local tyrants, and many were even tax-free.

    This has led countless people to entrust their fields to the names of these local tyrants and officials in order to avoid paying more taxes to the court.

    The result of this is that local tyrants and local officials own a large amount of land that does not pay taxes to the court, resulting in less and less tax revenue from the court.

    However, if the common people entrust their land to local officials and tyrants, they will naturally have to pay a certain amount of entrustment fees.

    If things go on like this, local officials and tyrants will continue to increase the cost of anchorage, causing the people to eventually become tenants of these local officials and tycoons, and lose their land.

    However, local officials and tyrants own more and more land, so they don't have to pay taxes to the court.

    The tax that the imperial court can collect is less and less, and it is difficult to maintain the huge expenses of the country's operation, which eventually leads to a country's shutdown.

    Chen Ziang is naturally unwilling to take this old road, because these dynasties seem to be the country's demise caused by land annexation, but in fact it is the continuous reduction of tax revenue that leads to the country's shutdown.

    When Chen Ziang was in Yunxi Mansion, he vigorously encouraged commerce and trade, and supported businessmen such as Wu Zhenyu and Jiangnan Liu Zhiyuan, hoping to drive the development of commerce.

    ?Because Chen Ziang wanted to change the land finance policy, and focus future taxation on the business sector.

    Because there is only so much land, no matter how much land is expropriated, there is a certain upper limit.

    However, the taxation of commerce and trade is different. As long as there is a transaction, then taxation can be generated, which can be said to be inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

    However, businessmen such as Wu Zhenyu and Liu Zhiyuan are still taking too small steps. Even if they have some monopoly rights on salt and iron, they still cannot drive the development of the entire business.

    Therefore, Chen Zi'ang now lets Chen Xiaoyu and Chu Yue intervene in the commercial field, hoping to stir up this backwater in the commercial field, so as to form a pattern of continuous upward competition.

    As long as the business of the entire empire develops, the empire will be able to collect a large amount of taxes and solve the employment problem.

    The taxes imposed on the people in the past will be replaced by commercial taxes, which will further reduce the burden on the people and consolidate the rule of the empire.

    Chen Xiaoyu and Chu Yue are the wives of Chen Ziang. One of them used to be a female general who led the army in battle, and the other was the director of the intelligence investigation department of the core department.

    theAlthough they are the principal and deputy deans of the medical school, they are still busy. Now Chen Ziang has found something for them to do, which can also keep them busy instead of being idle.

    Although they didn't understand Chen Ziang's intentions, they must have a reason, so they agreed wholeheartedly.

    What Chen Ziang wanted was to let the two of them stir up the stagnant water in the business field, so naturally he wanted them to come over and give them advice.

    After hearing what Chen Ziang said, both of them also had their eyes lit up, and they were also full of confidence in making money.

    After Chen Ziang took the two wives out of the tea shed, they wandered around the Nancheng District again.

    This time, Chen Ziang didn't just wander around, but took the two wives to choose the address of their shop.

    Chen Ziang has the memory of two lives. Although he has never been a businessman before, he has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs running. He also provided many effective suggestions for site selection and decoration.

    After returning to the palace that day, Chen Ziang also called Zhang Xingbang, the captain of his personal guard, to him.

    "How many brothers in the personal guard are going to take off their armor and go home this time?" Chen Zi'ang asked Zhang Xingbang, the captain of the personal guard.

    Zhang Xingbang replied solemnly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are a total of 308 brothers who are going to take off their armor and go home this time."

    "Go and ask if there is anyone who is willing to take care of the shop for the two wives, the wages will not be less for them." Chen Ziang said.

    "No¡ª¡ª"

    After the captain of the personal guard Zhang Xingbang responded, he immediately took his leave and strode away.

    The Qinghe Army has fought and fought all year round, and now the war is over, so Chen Ziang also approved that the lieutenant soldiers can be disarmed and returned to the fields in batches to reunite with their families.

    As the direct line of Chen Ziang's direct line, the personal guards are not only loyal and reliable, but also powerful in combat.

    Chen Ziang has always been extremely strict with them, not only with excellent military literacy, but also with cultural knowledge.

    It is precisely because of Chen Ziang's strict requirements that the promotion of people in the pro-guard team is also very fast.

    ? Li Changqing, the first captain of the personal guard, has been promoted to the head of the army and has become the commander of the 100,000 army.

    Zhao Hong, the second captain of the personal guard, was also promoted to the head of the banner and became a new general in the Qinghe Army.

    In addition to the two of them, there are many soldiers of the pro-guard who have been released as grassroots officers. Based on their abilities, they are at least a hundred generals or deputy thousand generals.

    In addition to strengthening his control over the Qinghe army in this way, Chen Ziang, after all, the personal guards are all his confidants and direct descendants.

    Now there are more than 300 personal guards who are about to be disarmed and return to the fields. For these brothers who are brave in combat and have knowledge and culture, Chen Zi'ang feels that it is too wasteful for them to go home to farm, so it is better to help Chen Xiaoyu and the others run their business.

    It's not easy for Chen Xiaoyu and the others to show their faces, so let these brothers who quit the army help take care of them.

    Firstly, I have found a lucrative position for these brothers, and secondly, these brothers are also loyal and reliable.

    "Your Majesty, except for more than a dozen brothers who want to go home to serve my mother and father, the rest of the brothers are willing to stay to help the two wives and obey the orders of the two wives."

    Zhang Xingbang, captain of the personal guard, quickly reported to Chen Ziang the situation of these guard brothers who were about to quit the army.

    "You can arrange to bring their family members to the imperial capital, and let them listen to the orders of the two wives in the future." Chen Ziang ordered.
