Gu Chengyu shook his head and smiled brightly.
"Emperor! Our dynasty has land tax and poll tax, why can't there be a tea tax?"
As soon as the Emperor heard this, he immediately became invigorated, his eyes bursting with a captivating brilliance.
"Tea tax? The previous dynasty never had it, please elaborate."
Gu Chengyu went over what he was going to say in his mind before speaking slowly, "Your Majesty, I have yet to come up with the detailed steps for implementation, I can only give a rough idea."
Gu Chengyu frowned slightly, this tea tax ordinance must be clearly listed, and must maximize the benefits of the tea farmers and merchants.
If the new tax law were implemented but used by those officials to amass wealth, it would be his fault.
However, if utilized well, it would not only benefit the court, but the tea farmers and merchants would also reap considerable benefits.
