I want to reduce taxes for the people. Do you think a three-year tax exemption is feasible?

For ordinary people, nothing is more gratifying than a pardon granted by those in power.

For them, the longer the tax exemption period, the better.

But now the person in power is their great-aunt from the Chi clan, which makes a difference for Chi Sanhe.

He thought about it carefully and said, "We will definitely be exempt from taxes this year."

Ordinary people are lucky if they can have food to eat, water to drink, and just survive.

However, if next year's harvest is good and everyone's crops are productive, then a one-year exemption may be granted.

That way, I can catch my breath.

The year after next, there will be no need for that.

Based on the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes, the program should be able to be rolled out in these two areas by next year.

The harvest from everyone's fields will surely be excellent the year after next. We should still harvest some, no matter what."

As he spoke, he thought for a moment and then added, "However, we'll have to discuss the specifics with the others when I get back."

Chi Yu nodded: "Alright, I estimate that the government offices in both places will make these public in a few days."

Therefore, once I take office, I will have to issue this policy.

By the way, Uncle Sanhe, Lord Fang said that the imperial court will send people from the Ministry of Works to build a princess's mansion for me.

I need to review the site selection and the blueprints of the mansion.

The fighting in the northern border region is intense, and I want to get there before September.

"At that time, can our clan find someone to cooperate with the government?"

When Chi Sanhe heard that a princess's mansion was being built, he knew it was a major event for the entire clan.

"Alright! Don't worry, Little Fish, the clan will keep everyone in line."

You are a princess, and we will never allow any fool in the clan to take advantage of your power and act arrogantly, or hold you back.

Our Chi family will continue to live in Chijia'ao and will never move away from here.

Chi Yu nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, clan."

As long as the clansmen do not commit crimes, everything is fine.

Furthermore, from now on, all members of our Chi clan will be exempt from taxes.

Of course, this only applies to the area of ​​Chijia'ao.

If you purchase land or shops in other places, you still have to pay the taxes that are due.

I'm hoping that by collecting some money, my Chi clan can build a proper road down the mountain.

I want to make some thick iron chains to replace the vine ropes along the way.

As long as the iron chains are thick, large, and plentiful enough, building a suspension bridge is no problem at all.

With four supports on one side and eight on both sides, even without any underlying support, the wooden bridge wouldn't be easy to sway.

After all, the bridge is only two or three hundred meters long.

When Chi Sanhe heard Chi Yu say that he wanted to build bridges and roads for the clan, his eyes lit up instantly.

However, he knew even better that this was not an easy task, nor could it be accomplished overnight.

He immediately said, "Little Fish, this is a big deal. Let me discuss it with the clan first."

"Alright, Uncle Sanhe, I'll head back now. If all goes well, we'll head down the mountain first thing tomorrow morning."

"good!"

At that time, Chi Erxiong and Chi Sanbao also returned to Chijia'ao.

The two brothers hadn't slept all night, and as soon as they entered the village, they immediately went to find Chi Dongyi.

The imperial edict is now being held by Chi Erxiong.

Upon arriving at Chi Dong's house, the two brothers excitedly greeted the guests:

"Clan leader, Xiaoyu has been bestowed the title of Princess Le'an by the Emperor. This is the imperial decree, please take a look!"

Chi Dongyi, who was already feeling lethargic due to the heat, suddenly became energetic upon hearing this, his eyes widening instantly.

He wasn't very literate, but when he opened the brocade box and saw the bright yellow silk that ordinary people couldn't use, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

With trembling hands, he opened the imperial edict.

After looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't recognize many of the characters.
