Chapter 684: He dare not!
Ning Xi followed the emperor and others into the hall. The emperor went to the top and sat down, while the others stood below.
It can be seen that Jing Ruofeng is in a good mood, with a smile on his face: "This time our army defeated the enemy forces of the two countries is really worth celebrating."
"Three days later, I will hold a palace banquet for the whole country to celebrate!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Everyone smiled and thanked.
Then came the award, "This time, the Ning family army played an indispensable role in causing the enemy to be defeated again and again. Ning Xi was in charge of the Ning family army, and he was awarded the title of King Ning, exempting Xiacheng from taxes for ten years."
Jing Ruofeng knew that Ningxi liked to get actual rewards, so he directly exempted him from taxes.
The heir who belonged to Prince Ning's mansion in the past has now completely become the master of Prince Ning's mansion. Ning Xi can also participate in some matters that only Prince Ning is qualified to participate in.
The smile on Ning Xi's face was even greater, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The officials of the Ministry of Household and the two princes' faces turned blue when they heard the emperor's reward, and they all wanted to curse.
Since the development of Xia City, although 70% of the tax revenue came from Xia City, the court only accounted for 30%, but that was also a very large number.
In the future, with the further development of Xiacheng, one year of taxes alone will be able to offset all the taxes in the whole country for one year.
Under the constant gaze of everyone, the newly appointed Minister of Household couldn't help but go out, "Your Majesty, isn't it too long to be exempted from tax for ten years? Now that the treasury is tight, Xiacheng's tax can account for more than half of the total tax, and many departments Still waiting for funding."
This is also a reminder to the emperor.
Xiacheng also surprised them after paying the tax last year, and then it was a big surprise.
No one thought that Xiacheng, which was once barren and difficult to pay taxes every year, would fly up so inadvertently. This is a great good thing for the Ministry of Household and the national treasury.
Who knew that only after eating a little sweetness, the emperor opened his mouth to cut off the golden spring.
It stands to reason that the development of Xiacheng is so fast, and it also trades with other state-owned enterprises. It should be suppressed. Why is it exempt from taxes?
The emperor was too eccentric and indulgent towards Ning Xi.
Ning Xi raised his eyebrows, "Lord Shang Shu is very interested in the taxation of this king's fief! Do you want to give some advice?"
When the others heard Ning Xi's rhetorical question, they put some wax on the minister of the household, and gave advice that seemed to be a signal to beat someone?
Several officials who were close to the Minister of Household Affairs stepped back a few steps, for fear that they might be affected by accident.
The Minister of the Household had seen Ning Xi beat someone before, and he couldn't help feeling a chill on his back when he was asked such a question. He smiled shyly and said, "My little prince has been thinking too much. How dare a lower official give advice on Xiacheng's taxation."
"That's why you coveted Wang Xiacheng's taxes?" Ning Xi snorted coldly.
Xiacheng's income was getting more and more considerable, but Ningxi never thought of tax evasion, but it was all for the emperor's sake, and he would never allow the Ministry of Household or other forces in the court to covet.
If it were someone else, the Minister of the Household would have come forward to discuss the importance of taxation to the Yin country's treasury, but he would not dare to face Ning Xi!
This little bully would beat up people whenever he disagreed with the emperor. If he was beaten up today, would he still want this old face?
"I don't dare to be an official! The little prince is serious!"
Jing Ruofeng's face also sank, but it was not to Ning Xi, but to the Minister of the Household, "My will is a child's play in Aiqing's eyes? Take it back as soon as it is given. An emperor who doesn't keep his promise?"
