Chapter 22: Discussing Politics in the Palace

He laughed at himself, but in the original world, using the power of the talisman Gang Step to use the power of the Thunder Division was legal, equivalent to a contract. But in this world, it seemed that there was no contract and directly stole the power of the Qing Emperor.

Hopefully, no god could tolerate a mortal stealing the power of the god without permission. This is a naked blasphemy!

It is better to hope that the gods have not discovered it, but to hope that their cultivation will be improved to the golden elixir as soon as possible and have the power to protect themselves.

Now you don’t have to worry about luck anymore. You don’t have to accumulate luck slowly in Huashan County, and save money carefully. But if you want to do this, you still have to solve the problem of your five qi imbalance first.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have practiced that thunder method! Fu Shuo rarely felt regretful. But it was wiped out immediately, and no one had any eyes. Even the great gods in the Divine Court could not escape the trajectory of fate. Negative emotions were just roadblocks on the road of cultivation!

He had enough Kui Water on his body, and a piece of Geng Jin obtained from Zuo Sanren. The metal can produce water, but it only overcomes wood. The five elements are generating and suppressing it, which is an extremely troublesome thing. Fortunately, it is the palace and the richest place in the world. You should be able to find many treasures of heaven, wealth, and earth?

Just as he was thinking, a sound of the emperor's arrival sounded at the right time, Emperor Qing'an walked in with great strides and asked, "How can the national master rest?"

Fu Shuo smiled and said, "The rest is pretty good! Your Majesty, it's time for you to issue an edict to blame yourself!"

Emperor Qing'an changed his color and his anger rose. He was threatened by the Taoist Linghui's edict to issue a guilty edict. Who knew that Fu Shuo actually said this, would he also threaten him?

"Your Majesty, you can't escape the affairs of the Demon National Master. Sooner or later, you will know the world. Then the world is in full swing. Have you thought about how to solve it?" Fu said.

"What the world is raging!" Emperor Qing'an was out of control and roared loudly: "If those damn Taoist palaces hadn't deliberately opposed me and caused disasters everywhere in the world, how could so many refugees rebel? They just forced me to submit! Humph, I don't believe it. What are the benefits of changing dynasties? What if the Moji people enter the pass and worship the Heaven of Changsheng, what should I do if the great gods of the Divine Court when I saw it?"

Fu Shuo was surprised. He didn't expect that the world was in chaos and there was such a factor behind it, so he couldn't make a sound for a while.

"After all, they will help me stabilize this country, hum... Fortunately, the demon army is under the banner of destroying the Taoist Palace and the gods. Otherwise, the Taoist Palace will turn around and help them!" Emperor Qing'an rushed to the sky with fire.

Fu Shuo shook his head repeatedly: "Your Majesty should have read history books!"

Emperor Qing'an nodded. Because of the Tao Palace, this world has never paid attention to the study of history and history books cannot be circulated. However, as an emperor, it is different. You must know the source of governance and chaos. In this world, almost every dynasty has a relationship with Shinto!

"Now, of course, we should know that under this situation, if the rebels cannot be suppressed, there will only be more and more refugees. At that time, there will be more rebels, and with the literati and officials joining, it will gradually become a climate. At that time, what if the Taoist Palace supports those people?"

Emperor Qing'an was immediately stunned and hit his hidden worries. Although the price of changing dynasties is huge, it is not something that cannot be afforded.

"Those riots are all mobs, and it is not difficult to calm them down. What is difficult is that natural disasters everywhere require a large sum of money and food to appease the people, and use them together. But I don't have money, what can I do!" Emperor Qing'an slowly calmed down and said this, he roared again: "The Tao Palace occupies about what percentage of the land in the world? Millions of tenants farmed the Tao Palace, and there is no need to pay money and food! Not to mention anything else, the Tao Palace in the capital has millions of acres of land near the capital. I am such a big country, only six million taels of silver is a year, and that Taoist Palace in the capital will not be less than one million taels. The three major Taoist Palaces in the world, and the Taoist Palace in the capital is at my feet. There are some taboos and the smallest scale. Look at the other two Taoist Palaces, plus Taoist temples of all sizes and temples. How much does it earn in a year?"

Fu Shuo Moran, this was what he saw with his own eyes. Not to mention anything else, there was only a Hebo Temple, a small land. It had hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and many shops... This situation was a bit like another world in the Middle Ages, but at that time a monotheist church unified the church led by the Holy See, and the divine power was entrenched in dozens of countries.

However, the Daguang court was a unified country, but the Taoist palace was not closely connected. There were countless temples of gods of all sizes, which were relatively simple. In this way, the imperial power had the opportunity to compete with the divine power. If the divine power in this world was also a monotheistic religion, it might have been above the imperial power and was split into many countries. It would not be given the opportunity to be on an equal footing with the divine power!

Fu said that the previous world of the Celestial Empire was not obvious, but the other was that the Tao and law were not revealed, and the Confucianism was in conflict. Confucianism occupied the mainstream of ideology with the assistance of imperial power, and finally complemented the imperial power. This was the super stable agricultural society of the ancient Celestial Empire.

But in the mid-Ming Dynasty, Confucianism was actually too big to lose its head and began to have the intention of backlashing against the imperial power, such as Huang Zongxi and others. If the Qing Dynasty had not entered the pass and interrupted this process, no one would know where the final direction of the Celestial Empire would have gone?

"No farming is not stable, no business is not rich." Fu Shuo finally knew how classic these two sentences from the scattered streets in later generations were. Daguang court only collected agricultural taxes, and whenever the ministers mentioned the commercial taxes were, they would immediately rush together. It was simply to cut off the lifelines of those literati and officials!

Fu said that from his own examination, he knew that because of the decline of the status of scholars in the Daguang court, there was no good thing about tax exemption from Juren. Those who have fame can only not pay taxes by themselves. They can no longer hide their families, let alone expand and acquire land by not paying taxes. Therefore, the business style of those officials is much stronger than the original world.

The collection of commercial taxes is simply to pay money in the pockets of the court ministers. As long as this is mentioned, all the ministers in the court will rebel!

And because there are too many sea monsters on the sea, there is no way to develop ocean trade, and the trade volume is not as good as the ancient world.

On the one hand, a large amount of land was occupied by the Taoist palace, and on the other hand, commercial tax was a forbidden property for all officials. No wonder the Daguang court could only earn six million taels of silver a year, which was so frustrating!
