    After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but hesitate. Well, it seems that this guy just now was so excited that he said such mindless words.  I patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Xian can have such an idea, which shows that in his subconscious, brother Xian is also eager to do some practical things for the people of the world." I did not continue on this topic. For Li Shimin, what can I do?  This kind of attitude makes me appreciate the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who is less than two years younger than me even more. If he didn't have such a broad mind, he probably wouldn't be able to become an emperor who will be passed down through the ages.  "If my virtuous brother can be the emperor, the world will have fifty years of peace." I sat back on the couch, raised my wine cup, and toasted Li Shimin solemnly. After drinking the full drink, I sighed.  Hearing this, everyone here couldn't help but look stunned. Even Li Shimin also looked stunned and confused. He couldn't figure out why I said such a thing. He couldn't laugh or cry for a long time and said: "Brother, could it be that you are drunk? Now,  The one who can hold the power in the world is Xiongtai. Even if it is true as Xiongtai said, my father can rule the world, and my brother is here" "Haha, I am just making a metaphor." I said loudly.  He laughed, Xuanji took a deep look at Li Shimin, and without saying any more, he chatted with Li Shimin about my young master's theory of constitutional monarchy and the separation of powers.  In the past few days, this guy has begun to work hard to study these important works of mine. Not only him, but the entire Guanzhong, and it can even be said that most of the scholars in the world have already seen these two works.  Who allowed me to own a hydraulic printing press, the most powerful letterpress printing technology, and the support of a powerful paper company.  These two works also brought great shock to the scholars of this era. This was a political thought and social model that had never appeared before, which made scholars all over the world make an uproar, but they had to be solemn.  Take it up and study it.  After all, I am now considered one of the most powerful warlords in the land of China. After careful study, many scholars have already agreed with some of my ideas from the bottom of their hearts, although they do not say so, such as limiting the imperial power.  In the future, I believe that there will never again be a situation where the entire country is precarious or even disintegrated because of the will of the emperor.  If the three powers are separated and under mutual supervision, then I dare not say that the official administration can be completely clear, but it can certainly prevent the occurrence of corruption to a large extent. Moreover, everyone in the world pays taxes, except for those officials who do not pay taxes.  Apart from this objection, the vast majority of scholars are on my side.  Because they are originally paying taxes, and only officials have the privilege of not paying taxes. This makes many scholars dislike it. In the eyes of some scholars, we are more talented than you and have a better IQ than you, just because you are the right person.  Even though I am a small official, I don¡¯t need to pay taxes, but I have to pay taxes. Why?  But now, the world is in chaos, and the aristocratic families are already in panic and unable to protect themselves. If you want to stand up and oppose, the question is, can you do it?  Most of the people under my command are from low-level backgrounds, and there are also people who are related to big families. But the problem is that I am not much different from a dictator now, and the military power is completely in my hands.  What's more important is that the soldiers under my command all understand why and why they are fighting, and my new ideas and concepts are also spread in their minds.  Let them understand what benefits these practices can have for them. For example, in Guanzhong, corvee has been abolished, and taxation has been reduced by 20% compared with the Sui Dynasty, making ordinary people very happy.  However, after those officials and aristocratic families also had to pay taxes, the tax revenue of the entire Guanzhong rose instead of falling. At present, the tax revenue of the entire Guanzhong has exceeded the 30% of Daye Nine Years. You must know that last year, the tax revenue of the entire Guanzhong  Tax revenue has been reduced to less than 70% of Daye's nine-year tax revenue.  And those big family members are very angry about this tax policy. There are noble families in the Sui Dynasty, such as the Zhen family in Zhang County.  You need to pay taxes, but now you need to pay a lot of taxes.  Since I personally conquered Zhang County and captured him and the main leaders back to Chang'an for public trial and execution, all other rebels have been assigned as laborers to dig in the mines, and all land has been turned into public land to be leased to the refugees for farming.  What I didn't expect was that after the processing here, there were still people who dared to jump out. A wealthy family named Hu in Chenggu County, Hanzhong even entangled more than a dozen families of former Sui officials who were also unwilling to pay taxes.  More than a thousand people were gathered and killed the Chenggu County magistrate, hoping to seize the city and become independent. Unexpectedly, the army stationed outside Chenggu County responded immediately as soon as they received the news.  According to the provisions of the Chinese Renaissance Army, there are 100 troops stationed in the county and one battalion in the county. Chenggu County only has a team of 100 troops. However, with this team of fully armed elite soldiers, it not only defeated the more than 300 incoming counterattacks  The thieves were beaten in a panic, and they even counterattacked into Chenggu County and captured the bandit leader surnamed Hu. They waited for the arrival of a battalion of reinforcements from Hanzhong County.?, finally the entire Chenggu County was under control.  In the end, all the thirteen families who rebelled had their property confiscated, and all the leaders were killed, and all the participants were sent to work for mining. In other places in Guanzhong, a dozen unhappy family members also jumped out one after another. As a result,  They were all suppressed one by one. In the end, not only did they shock a large number of people, but they also obtained more than 13,000 hectares of land and returned it to the state.  In addition to these arrogant and conceited aristocratic families, there are also some aristocratic families who want to collude with government and businessmen to reduce taxes. However, the prosecutors stationed in each county are all retired soldiers under my master. Soon, five counties  After a county guard was dismissed from his post, no one dared to jump out and commit crimes.  Although there are still some people who show off from time to time and express their dissatisfaction with such tax policies, they no longer dare to use violent means to express their dissatisfaction. At most, they just talk about it all day long. Agricultural tax is actually the most important  The focus is still on food, and commercial tax is the key. Commercial tax in Guanzhong is not low. Hancheng County alone has provided nearly 1.5 million yuan in commercial tax, 90% of which comes from  The industries owned by this young master.  The entire Guanzhong has a total commercial tax revenue of 4.27 million yuan, which is also unprecedented, at least equivalent to the commercial tax revenue of two and a half Guanzhong in the past seven years.  "I used to think that Guanzhong was rich, but I never thought that a mere tax in Guanzhong could collect so much. It was really unbelievable to me. I recalculated it twice last night before I was convinced that it was this amount. Just that.  Hancheng County alone has contributed so much commercial tax, I can¡¯t help but admire my lord¡¯s talent.¡± Fang Xuanling handed the commercial tax income summary sheet to me with emotion.  .  "This is normal. Business in Guanzhong was also very prosperous in the past. But the problem is that most of these businesses are run by noble families. They do not need to pay business taxes. There are also many officials who often collude with merchants.  Pay less taxes. Now that these two conditions have been resolved, and the lord has taken the lead in setting an example, those noble families will naturally not dare to cheat again," Du Ruhui said with a smile.  Li Shimin was squatting next to it. After I saw it, he also took it over to admire it. After a long time, he smiled bitterly.  "Not to mention the agricultural tax in Jinyang, but the commercial tax is less than one-tenth of this" "The territory your father occupies is not large to begin with, at most it is equivalent to half of Shanxi.  The land, coupled with the chaos of war, has made it difficult for merchants to settle down and operate, so there will naturally be a lot less." I smiled and explained to this guy.  The more he looked at Guanzhong, the more helpless Li Shimin felt. Whether it was Guanzhong's military strength, population, or the current official system and tax system, Li Shimin was both happy and confused.  have no choice.  After all, in the land of Shanxi, if you want to collect taxes like ours, I am afraid that several big Shanxi households and aristocratic families under Li Yuan will jump up and oppose them. Although these guys have no soldiers, there are many people there.  Serve under Li Yuan.  Therefore, even if Li Yuan wants to learn from this young master, he still refuses to do so. After all, there are a lot of external problems that cannot be solved. If there are internal problems, the old Li family may really be finished.  "If all the money from the sale of grain is included in the national treasury, the total treasury in Guanzhong will reach 35,737,841 yuan.  It is roughly equivalent to the total of Chang'an's treasury in the autumn of the ninth year of Daye." Fang Xuanling took the total number at his fingertips without any hesitation.  After hearing this number, no one spoke a word, as if they were recalling the shock brought by this huge number.  "After my lord captured Chang'an last year, he also checked the treasury and found that the remaining funds were only 12.37 million yuan. Moreover, in the past six months, in order to build the cement straight road in Guanzhong, repair the houses, and accommodate the refugees, it has been spent.  We have made a lot of money, and now the treasury is full again. The master is so talented that he is beyond the reach of his ministers." Fang Xuanling, the financial steward, was very emotional, and his slightly round face was filled with red.  Thinking about it, as the Minister of Finance, he has money in his hands and his back is naturally very strong. When the time comes to spend money, he will not be like the stingy Grandet who wants to break every penny into two flowers.  At that time, just to decide whether to spend five million guan to buy the surplus grain in the hands of the people, this guy had been arguing with me for a long time, fearing that the treasury under his control would not even be as good as a landlord's underground kiln.  Not to mention humans, even rats can only hide away with their bags in hand with tears in their eyes.  Suddenly, there was a flood of flattery. Even the guest Li Shimin squatted there and praised my master's great achievements. As a general who is the leader of an army, Yaoguang sister's face was filled with a bright and happy smile.  His eyes never left my face. It would be absolutely false to say that I was unhappy when I saw my husband being so praised by others, not to mention a straightforward woman like Yaoguang.  That happy and bright smile is so charming and endlessly beautiful. At this moment, it is like a ray of sunshine,It penetrated the haze of autumn and shone in my eyes and in my heart.  What I like most is her bright and contagious smile.  "Okay, okay, we'll talk about this topic later. Next, it's time to talk about this year's fiscal expenditures. Although it's the middle of the year. However, because the national treasury was scarce last year, we didn't make any big moves.  "Hey, what's your expression like that?" "My lord, last year, you already ordered the construction of cement straight roads from Chang'an to Yan'an, Longxi, Hanzhong and Hulao counties. It is expected to cost nearly 10 million yuan.  Aren't you calling it a big move?" Fang Xuanling grinned for a long time before saying tremblingly, still covering his heart with one hand, as if he was afraid of having a heart attack.  "Not enough." I shook my head, picked up a stack of pamphlets on my desk and handed them to Sister Qingxia. After Sister Qingxia, who is my young master's personal confidential secretary, took it, she walked over to these civil and military ministers.  The workers were distributed one by one in front of me. When I arrived in front of Miss Yaoguang, Sister Qingxia smiled gently, and Miss Yaoguang responded with the same smile. This made me feel very happy. The last thing I wanted to see was a fire in the backyard.
