Zhao Yi took a sip of water and shared his views on other matters: "Let me add a few more thoughts on taxation. First, all farmlands must be taxed, and that includes members of the imperial family. The imperial family will only grow larger over time. If they are exempted from taxes and instead continue to receive monthly stipends, the imperial court's burden will become heavier and heavier. The day the court can no longer carry that weight is the day the imperial family comes to an end. Big Brother, think about it—isn't this the truth?"
"What my brother says makes sense. Grand Tutor, have the Secretariat work out a comprehensive plan and implement it step by step."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
