After finishing the signatures on two memorials, the Great Xia Emperor picked up a copy of the *Tianjing Gazette* from the table and perused it.
Since the previous incident had already subtly criticized the imperial court, such a thing could happen once but not twice. Zhou Tieyi understood this, and Qingkong Gui of the Department of Law had already issued a warning. Therefore, before the Emperor had issued his approval today, Zhou Tieyi did not have the *Tianjing Gazette* imply that the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Revenue were behind the corrupt activities of the merchants. Instead, he kept to the facts and had Wu Qian continue writing the proposal for the "Luxury Tax."
The Great Xia Emperor nodded with satisfaction, used his cinnabar brush to draw a red circle around the "Luxury Tax," and handed the two memorials and the newspaper to Su Xibi. "File these, then pass them on and have them discuss how to implement this."
