Chapter 858 Ming Dynasty
"My brothers, twenty days ago, I became the new emperor of Dajing!"
"The reason why I haven't told you all about this is because I'm afraid that you won't be able to accept it and it will hurt the relationship!"
"But now that everyone knows about it, I won't hide it anymore!"
Jiang Chen looked at the imperial guards and told them the truth.
But after hearing Jiang Chen's words, the Imperial Guards stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
As the emperor's personal troops, they should eliminate the rebels.
But Jiang Chen is not a bad person.
Moreover, after they knew that Jiang Chen became the emperor, a terrifying thought arose in their minds.
That is, they felt that Jiang Chen was more suitable to be the emperor!
Just when everyone was hesitating, Jiang Chen spoke again.
"Everyone, you should all understand what kind of person I, Jiang Chen, am!"
"I promise that you will all have a good life in the future!"
"And Dajing will become even more powerful!"
"Please help me!"
Following Jiang Chen's words, the Imperial Guards no longer hesitated!
They all knelt on the ground!
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
"Hahahaha! All right, brothers, please stand up! Please stand up!"
Jiang Chen laughed out loud when he saw this scene.
Now that we have dealt with the Royal Guards, everything will be fine!
Jiang Chen led everyone into the capital.
After arriving in the capital, Jiang Chen held a banquet for his ministers and rewarded the three armies!
After the grand banquet for all the ministers, Jiang Chen found General Chu alone.
"General Chu, I hope you can lead your men back to the border tomorrow!"
"General Feng should have been controlled over there. The border is leaderless now. Only you can calm the situation!"
……
"The general will obey the order!"
General Chu respectfully accepts your orders!
It is a great honor for Jiang Chen to trust him and let him return to the border!
When Jiang Chen heard General Chu's agreement, he smiled and said, "General Chu, from today on, you are the Duke of Dajing!"
"You can inherit this position from generation to generation!"
"His Majesty……"
When General Chu heard Jiang Chen's words, he was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes!
He became a Duke!
And it is hereditary! ?
This is a great honor!
If the throne is inherited without interruption, it means that his descendants will have nothing to worry about!
"General Chu, you have worked hard for Dajing for many years, this is what you deserve!"
Jiang Chen smiled at General Chu.
General Chu left with great emotion.
After General Chu left, Jiang Chen found Dongfang Wan'er and Mu Qingqing.
During the time he was away, Mu Qingqing and Dongfang Wan'er had already discussed many things.
Right now, those things don’t have any facts yet, they are just waiting for him to come back and make the final decision!
"Greetings, Your Majesty~"
When Jiang Chen arrived at the imperial study, he saw Dongfang Wan'er assisting Mu Qingqing in reviewing memorials.
After seeing Jiang Chen, the two men bowed respectfully.
"Hahaha! Thank you for your hard work, my two beloved concubines!"
"Come, let me kiss you!"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the two of them saluting!
After laughing, Jiang Chen began to tease the two of them.
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor, you can't do anything rash~"
"Your Majesty~"
The three of them played around for a while, and then they started talking about business.
……
"Your Majesty, we have already discussed this with Eunuch Zhang while you were away."
"Among the policies you wrote, we first chose the imperial examination, the equalization of land tax, the unified taxation of gentry and the..."
Mu Qingqing reported the situation.
During the time when Jiang Chen was away, Mu Qingqing discussed a lot with Eunuch Zhang.
After hearing Mu Qingqing's words, Jiang Chen made another decision.
"After I ascend the throne, all regions in Dajing will be exempted from taxes for three years!"
"What!?"
Mu Qingqing and Dongfang Wan'er were both shocked when they heard this!
"Your Majesty, do you know that taxes are the foundation of a country?"
"If you exempt us from taxes for three years, then...how can our country run?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
"His Majesty……"
Mu Qingqing and Dongfang Wan'er hurriedly tried to persuade them.
But Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I have my own way."
"First, after we implement the imperial examination system, we can allow the children of merchants to pass the examinations and become officials in the court, but the price is that the merchant taxes must be re-established!"
"Second, we will establish imperial farms and military farms in various places within Dajing."
"As for the third point... all profits from the businesses I cooperate with the major clans will go to the national treasury!"
"These are enough for us to govern the country!"
Mu Qingqing and Dongfang Wan'er were extremely shocked when they heard Jiang Chen's words!
None of Jiang Chen's three points were expected by them!
Especially the last one, Jiang Chen actually handed over his private property to the country!
Even though Jiang Chen is the emperor, the money in the national treasury is different from the money in his own pocket!
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw Mu Qingqing and the other person staring at him.
"You...you don't have any flowers on your face, but...but there is love in your heart." Mu Qingqing said with emotion.
"Jiang Chen, I never thought you would be so selfless!"
Dongfang Wan'er was also shocked.
……
"Are you shocked already? You will be even more shocked later!"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
"Well, we believe that you will definitely shock us even more!"
Mu Qingqing nodded firmly.
The same goes for Dongfang Wan'er.
They already knew that Jiang Chen was extraordinary.
But I didn’t expect that Jiang Chen was so extraordinary!
That night, the three of them discussed until midnight.
They decided that the new name of the country would be Ming Dynasty, and Jiang Chen's ascension to the throne was set for three days later. As for the queen, it would naturally be Mu Qingqing.
Dongfang Wan'er, Miss Yang, and Bai Yan were all successful imperial concubines, whose status was second only to that of the Empress.
As for the other women, they were all ordinary concubines.
After discussing all this, Jiang Chen came to the harem late at night.
During the time that Jiang Chen was away, Bai Yan and his group had already arrived in the capital and moved into the harem.
"Bai Yan, you haven't slept yet?"
When Jiang Chen opened the door and saw Bai Yan, he couldn't help but be surprised!
It's so late, Bai Yan is still awake? "
"Your Majesty, I knew you would come to see me when you came back, so I stayed up all night waiting for you."
Bai Yan smiled happily when she saw Jiang Chen.
She never dreamed that she, a widow, would one day become a royal concubine in her life!
Until now, Bai Yan still feels like she is dreaming.
"You still understand me."
Jiang Chen walked up to Bai Yan and looked at her with a smile on his face.
Bai Yan is Jiang Chen’s first woman, the woman who has gone through difficult times with him. Naturally, her status is different!
