Vol 8 Chapter 348: Confirm

After the two entered the room, they saluted Wei Xiaode. Wei Xiaode smiled and said, "Forget it, you don't need to be so polite when you get to me. You two come together. There must be something wrong, right? Come on?"
Chen Xiwang said: "Master, it was Zhao Shilang who discovered something, and let me report it to you." After that, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hai. Wei Xiaode also looked at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai directly told Wei Xiaode about the consequences caused by Xianting's tax increase.
Wei Xiaode had a smile at first, but after listening, the smile on his face disappeared completely. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, what you said is true? Have you investigated?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I haven't investigated yet. I only learned about this matter after receiving a letter from the old man in the Sanshan City. He said that now there are some small businessmen in Sanshan City who have The business is closed and we have to find another way out."
As soon as Wei Xiaode heard what Zhao Hai said, he immediately turned his head and said to Chen Xiwang: "Check, three days, three days later, I want to know the accurate news."
Chen Xiwang responded, and then the two saluted Wei Xiaode and then exited Wei Xiaode’s study. When they left Wei Xiaode’s study, Wei Xiaode immediately said to a young next to him: "Go, give Ma Degong to I'll call." The little responded and immediately went to call someone.
Soon Ma Degong arrived in Wei Xiaode's study. After they arrived, Wei Xiaode did not wait for Ma Degong to salute Ma Degong, and said to Ma Degong: "Send someone to check and see after the tax hike this time. What is the impact on those small businessmen? I heard that there are many small businessmen who have closed their business. If you don’t do it, you have to check it out. Don’t just check it in Xiandu. Check it out. For those businesses with a large family background, how do they react? Give you three days, and I want a clear result."
Ma Degong was taken aback, and then he immediately responded. Wei Xiaode waved his hand, and Ma Degong left the room. After Ma Degong left, Wei Xiaode stomped in the room. He was thinking, if What Zhao Hai said is true, so what to do is indeed a difficult problem.
For the next three days, Wei Xiaode had been waiting for news of Chen Xiwang and Ma Degong. Three days later, Chen Xiwang and Ma Degong came to Wei Xiaode’s room almost indiscriminately. Wei Xiaode saw that they were both here. , He nodded at the two of them and said: "I asked you to investigate the same thing. You can also talk about it. How are they all." After he said that, he glanced at Ma Degong, Ma Degong To understand what Wei Xiaode meant, let him speak first.
Ma Degong hurriedly saluted Wei Xiaode: "Master, I checked this with our Dongwei people. The situation is very bad. Now many small businesses in various cities have closed their doors, even more so. Some small businesses directly put their business under the names of those big families, and they pay some money to those big families, but because the names are put under the names of those big families, they don’t have to pay taxes. Therefore, there are now a lot fewer small businesses in cities. Even some merchants who had nothing to do with the major families and did not have a small business could not stand it anymore, and the scale of their business was shrinking. Contrary to them, the businesses of the major families are expanding very quickly."
Wei Xiaode turned his head and glanced at Chen Xiwang again. Chen Xiwang said solemnly, "The result of my investigation is the same as that of my brother. Master, this is the zhezi I wrote." After talking, Chen Xiwang took out a zhezi and gave it to Wei Xiaode. Ma Degong also took out a folder and gave it to Wei Xiaode.
Wei Xiaode took the papers from the two of them and looked at them carefully. Then he said in a deep voice, "Okay, you should go back first. I must report this matter to your Majesty immediately." The two of them responded, and then they both pointed at Wei Xiaode saluted, then turned and exited Wei Xiaode's study.
After the two left, Wei Xiaode took the two memorials and went directly to see the first emperor. As an internal officer, this is the advantage. They can ask to see the immortal emperor at any time, and the immortal emperor, for them, Also more trust.
The emperor quickly called Wei Xiaode into the study. After Wei Xiaode saluted the emperor, the emperor looked at Wei Xiaode and said, "What's wrong with Wei Banban? His face is so ugly? He can see it, Wei Xiaode. His face is very ugly, that's why he asked. He is very clear that Wei Xiaode is actually a very determined person. There is really no way to make him so serious in general things. He has always been The smile was welcoming. And it seemed that nothing major happened here in Immortal World recently. He really didn't know what was going on to make Wei Xiaode so serious.
Wei Xiaode bowed to the immortal emperor and said, "Your Majesty, three days ago, the old slave heard Zhao Hai talk about something. The old slave was very worried, so he asked him to check it, and please have a look. After he finished, he took out the two memorials in his hand, his own little took it, and put it in front of the Emperor.
The Emperor Xian picked up a memorial and glanced at it, and then his face slowly became suspicious. After he finished reading the first memorial, his face was already green, and then he was right there. He took out another memorial at a time, and took a closer look. After reading it, his face became even more ugly. He threw the memorial to the ground heavily and looked at Wei Xiaode and said, "What the memorial said, Is it all true?"
Wei Xiaode looked at the immortal emperor, and then said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is what the old slave asked Dongwei's people to investigate after listening to Zhao Hai's report. It should not be wrong."
"Assholes, these assholes, what do they want to do, do they want to mess up the immortal world? Go, call me the two phases of the left and right, the six books, all of them, I really want to ask them what they want to do." Immortal Emperor furiously said.
Wei Xiaode hurriedly said: "Your Majesty calms down. Even if we call them all over now, it is of no use. After all, the decree issued by the court represents the prestige of the court. If the order is changed, the prestige of the court will disappear. , This will hit the court even more, please think twice."
The immortal emperor stood up suddenly, and he stomped the trail on the ground: "If this law cannot be abolished, what can we do? If it continues like this, the power of the major families will swell and the court will be closed. If there is no tax, there will be no money to raise the soldiers. In this way, the fairy court will be over, come, and call Liu Zhong.
The immediately responded and went to invite someone.
Wei Xiaode said: "Your Majesty, the more at this time, the more we have to be calm. Now that the law has just been issued, it is definitely difficult to withdraw. Then we must find a way to allow the court to collect money. , Only in this way, we can really overcome this difficulty."
"It's not easy talking. Those big families are all related to the ministers of the DPRK. Although I have soldiers in my hand, and as long as those ministers object, I really want to issue a decree. I'm afraid it will be difficult. So even if I want To withdraw this decree, I am afraid that it will not be possible, let alone think of other ways." Xiandi frowned.
At this time, Liu Zhong also arrived. After Liu Zhong saluted the immortal emperor, the immortal emperor let Liu Zhong read the two memorials. After reading the two memorials, Liu Zhong looked very ugly. The emperor said: "Your Majesty, if this is really the case, then this matter is really troublesome. The government decree is issued and cannot be easily withdrawn. It will take at least three years to withdraw, but after three years, those big families will It has become a climate. By that time, even if this decree is withdrawn, I am afraid it will be too late."
Xiandi nodded, and then said: "Liu Banban, what can you do to solve this matter?"
Liu Zhong shook his head and said, "This thing happened too suddenly, and the old slave didn't have a good way for a while." Liu Zhong said the truth, he really did it for a while. What a good way.
The emperor turned his head to look at Wei Xiaode again, Wei Xiaode also shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is no good way for the old slave. Three days ago, after receiving the news, the old slave kept thinking, if This news is true, so what should we do, but unfortunately, the old slave Yulu, in three days, did not come up with a very good way, please come down."
Immortal Emperor shook his head and said: "Forget it, you can't blame you for this thing. I don't know if those guys did it on purpose, or just by chance. If they did it on purpose, it would be terrible, they I want to drag the fairy world into the bottomless abyss."
At this moment, Liu Zhong suddenly said: "Duke Wei, you said that you received the news three days ago. Who gave you the news?" Liu Zhong is really wrong about the whole story. Knowing too much, that's why he asked.
Wei Xiaode opened the mouth and said: "It's Zhao Hai, the head of the Ministry of War, Zhao Hai is the master of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and the Sanshan City Lord Jin Lao is also a member of the Blood Slaughter Sect. There has been a shop closure in Sanshan City. I felt that this matter was important, so he notified Zhao Hai, and Zhao Hai notified me again."
Liu Zhong nodded, then he turned his head and said to the Emperor Xian: "Your Majesty, since Zhao Hai discovered this, why don't we ask Zhao Hai to discuss it and see if Zhao Hai can do anything? If he has a way, then Of course it’s the best. If he can’t do anything, we can discuss it with one more person.

The immortal emperor was taken aback, and then he nodded and said, "It makes sense, come here, go and ask the military assistant Zhao Hai to come to discuss the matter." The immediately responded, and then went to invite someone.
After the little left, the sighed slightly: "What I am most worried about right now is that even if we think of something, those in the court will not follow suit. If it is true If that's the case, then it's really difficult."
Wei Xiaode and Liu Zhong both nodded. The last time the Emperor used the threat method to make the left and right sides retreat once, they also got a lot of benefits, but this method cannot always be used, otherwise, there will be no I used it, so this time things are really difficult to handle, so how to do it is really a headache. The two sides control the ministers in the court, which makes them too uncomfortable. .
