Chapter 175 Detour(2/2)

"No one dares to laugh at the officials!"

Officials have a benevolent and saintly heart, even if they are wrong, they are still talented and have a benevolent and saintly nature! People in the world can only praise and be happy!

Where can someone laugh?

Zhao Xu then said: "The grace that my grandson wants is... to ask the mother-in-law and the queen to show favor to the people of the world... to save the people from using the copper obtained by the 'gallbladder soaking method' to turn over the money to the government..." "

"In this way, the people can get more profits and are more willing to produce copper! And the government can also get more copper to mint money. If there is more money in the world, it should also benefit..."

The two palaces listened, looked at each other, and then both reached out and touched Zhao Xu's head.

"It is truly a blessing to the country to have an official who is smart, handsome, and benevolent!" said the Empress Dowager.

Zhao Xu became happy after hearing this: "Mother-in-law and queen mother, do you think my idea is good?"

So, the Empress Dowager asked: "How much tuition fees do the officials want to reduce?"

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty issued edicts many times, ordering the world to pay taxes of thirty to one..."

"If you want to imitate me, why not cut the tuition fee in half!"

The Queen Mother nodded and asked, "What does the Queen Mother think?"

The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said: "The official's intention is very good! I, the Song Dynasty, also don't lack this 10% lesson benefit!"

So the two palaces immediately issued an edict to Zhongshu Province in the name of Zhao Xu, and ordered Zhongshu Sheren to draft an imperial edict to promote the world, reducing the tuition fee of the 'Bile Water Soaking Copper Method' to 10%, but still ordered the local government to
