Chapter 167: Zhu Wei Xiaobian

Chapter 167 Zhu Wei Xiaobian Adult Lifestyle

The ministers didn't want to think about it, and the memorial was just a memorial, either good or bad, why did it say it was sweet? But Li Zhi had already thrown the memorial to Yan Liben and passed it on.

The memorial was not well written, whether it was Luma or Liang Jinzhu, it was enough to write the meaning clearly, let alone the rhyme. It was basically written in half and half. The rough meaning was that the two priests were very righteous, and they donated some donations by chance, but they didn't expect to hold a banquet in the palace. This was the honor that they could only get after practicing virtue for several lifetimes. Anyway, after saying more than a thousand words, they gradually got to the point. After receiving favor, they were so smart that they could use their minds. When they saw Prince Candy, they thought of the spring breeze and rain of the two priests, so they thought of a new way to make a new candy. The two ran to Jiangnan to test it, and the results of the experiment were very satisfactory. But all the credit was from the two priests.

The writing is not very good, and how it is related to the two saints. However, the two merchants probably have never seen the world, and were indeed moved by the banquet and entertainment of the palace. So they did the following. They reported that Xintang had never been there before, and the profits would be very good. However, the merits came from the inspiration of the two saints. The subjects dared not embezzle them and advised officials to set up officials and pay half of the taxes to express their gratitude to the court.

The merchants took the initiative to pay taxes and paid half of them, which can be said to be unprecedented in the Tang Dynasty, so Li Zhi said it was so sweet.

I was probably happy to see the emperor. The official from the Ministry of Revenue handed over two small jars, opened them, and said, "Your Majesty, it's very sweet, look."

It is not better than the last time Li Wei saw the candy. If you want it, you have to wait for a month or two before the cold winter arrives in Jiangnan before you can see the real good candy. However, this crystal clearness still brightens everyone's eyes. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue have already tasted it, so Li Zhi picked up a piece and tasted it, and said, "It's so sweet."

Li Lingyue suddenly got up from Wu Zetian's back. The jar was a little big, so she stretched out her small hand to grab it, stuffed it into her mouth, and said, "It's delicious, brother, it's better than your candy."

Li Zhi saw that everyone was a little interested, so he divided some of them.

It may not be possible to be able to take a tax of half. Of course, lice are also meat when they are small. Kangxi's never tax increases are mostly fake. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he really did not increase any taxes. So the treasury was poor day by day, and in the end he could not raise money, and even usury was released. It was a helpless move. But in general, other taxes did not increase. They may not be able to pay much attention to how much taxes could be collected? But the intention and symbolic meaning are very strong. The two of them really have no level in writing memorials. How to write or say good things is not like they thought of it through the kindness of their own and their wife. But thanks, their benevolent government has made the businessmen who are less righteous and value profit pay taxes on their own initiative...

Very handsome.

Businessmen all over the world all have this consciousness... Of course, just think about it.

It was indeed very sweet, but someone spoke, and Zhu Jingze walked over with his teeth scepter and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that it is not only not sweet, but it is very bitter."

As a straight minister, Li Wei sometimes feels helpless, and Li Zhi is the same. They often do things that are disappointing. But they don’t know, just come out to see the imperial village. What he has come out to do with his teeth scepter. Li Zhi still asked helplessly: "Zhu Qing, why?"

"I think they are grateful to the court and paying taxes, and they are also pure-minded. But I am afraid that once this move is started, there will be good people in the court, and they will fight for profit with the people. It is not pure-minded. Such two people will be approved by Your Majesty and care about Your Majesty's name. They will have extraordinary actions, but they will not be good. At this time, there is no other distraction. After a long time, they will eventually compete for profit. Suddenly, they will realize this sentence, which is very bad."

Di Renjie suddenly smiled.

Li Wei came up with a bad idea, and he listened to it. When he arrived in Jiangnan, it was a small insect. Moreover, Jiangnan people, like Shandong people, thought they were orthodox Han people, and looked down on people like Guanzhong and Henan, especially the gentry. The blood seeds were not pure.

So I wrote a letter in time, and originally paid half of the tax, which was done by the prince. But the emperor was happy to push the credit to the two priests, and he couldn't help but issue an order to announce a reward. With the imperial edict, he could sell dog meat with a sheep's head. Some local big sellers who sell sugar can't be bullied. Because today's offering sugar, they still offer it continuously in the future. It is the candy that the emperor and the queen like to eat. Okay, this is an advertisement. There is no concept yet. I guess if there is one, the emperor speaks and says yes, it may be worth ten thousand yuan.

Di Renjie was stunned at first, and then shook his head. Both merchants were enlightened, and their heads were like chickens pecking at rice. But Di Renjie didn't know what to say. The greater the sales volume, the more the prince's income would be. Of course, Zhu and Lu would share some, but the big head would definitely be the prince's income. The technology was paid by the prince, and the capital was paid the most. It was possible that the prince would take care of him in the future. But, after all, the court had the most profits.

After all, half of the remaining half has to be thrown away all kinds of costs and pay some minor miscellaneous taxes.

It seems that it is more for the country, so Di Renjie couldn't figure out whether he should object. It is not easy for Zhu Jingze to see some of these joints.

It would be nice to have no objection to the prince’s behavior, let alone any support. As he said that, he looked at Li Wei and laughed again.

Li Wei made Di Renjie laugh and laughed. Of course, he could not let Comrade Da Zhu ruin good things, and walked up and said, "It is inappropriate for Zhu Buqu, it is not appropriate. Father, let me listen to my son's words. For example, donating, this time, countless good men and women donated to the victims. However, many disaster victims were also saved. This is a great act of good. But there are also different donations. It is not easy for ten people in the family to donate five or six big ones. If there are ten people in the family to donate one thousand people, it is just a small good."

This principle is easy to understand, and the ministers nodded.

Li Wei also said: "The same is true for taxation. The national taxation is mainly derived from farmers. Of course, it is to gain the righteousness of focusing on agriculture and neglecting commerce. However, farmers have a heavy burden, but they have to collect a large amount of taxes, so their lives are even more difficult. This is not a reward, but a burden. But merchants, one person's annual income is the income of thousands of farmers. The court does not collect any taxes. The ministers cannot understand why the rich do not collect taxes, but instead require taxes from the poor. As a result, the poor become poorer and richer. With disasters, the poor have to sell their children, daughters, land and land to survive. If they continue for a long time, they are all tenants, all are gangs. The people are not living a life, and the country has lost this grassroots peasant, and there is no tax to collect. The country is poor and the people are poor, but a few people have wealth, and Zhang Jiao and Chen Sheng are not far away."

Li Wei's statement was a bit exaggerated, but it was not unreasonable. In the end, this situation would be possible sooner or later. Li Zhi had a choice for his future successors. If he really had no choice, he would have a few sons to refer to. However, if Chen Sheng and Zhang Jiao really happened, it would mean that the entire dynasty would collapse.

It’s impossible to imagine for thousands of years, but I always want to have ten or twenty years.

Zhu Jingze frowned and said, "Your Highness, you cannot be confused. You can only rule the matter of invasion and merger. But you cannot be confused with the importance of profit."

"Zhu Buqu, Wang Hua is the foundation of the country, but he governs the country with Confucianism and punishes the evildoers. It is not a Confucian act, but it is the original meaning of Legalism. Why? Some evil people, Confucian Wang Hua, have already played the piano against the cow and sang to the tree. If it were not for the brave soldiers, could Mr. Zhu, can Wang Hua be governed by Tubo, Goryeo, and Turks? Or would you ask a few great scholars to hold a book of the Nine Classics and read it, and then all nations come to pay tribute?"

All the civil officials frowned, but all the officials who were military generals were laughing.

"Although the soldiers are conquered, and the kingly education is also used to transform them, this is the real foundation for the foreign countries. Your Highness emphasizes merchants and martial arts, and this sign cannot be prospered. I heard your Highness discuss it today and I am very worried."

This is the mainstream idea. The court also took the initiative to attack the various foreign Hus, but after the attack, they still asked them to submit to the court. Then they married the princess, gave books, and craftsmen, and made them "king". Most of the time, it was indeed helpful to the unification, but for some foreign Hus, they were raising tigers.

But Li Wei did not dare to say this proposition in depth. Besides, if it is not my race, his heart will be different. Don’t say that his father would be angry and embarrassed. Among the officials who accompanied him to the imperial village, many were Hu ministers and generals. Therefore, when Zhu Jingze mentioned this, Li Wei had to change the topic and said: "Wanghua is certainly the foundation of the country, but governing the country is mixed with legalists and military strategists, which is also the foundation of establishing a country."

It was very tactful, but some great scholars kept shaking their heads. The mixed legalists could only keep in mind. Ministers might be able to say it, but as the crown prince, they couldn't even say it. Li Wei looked at their expressions and felt even more depressed. He took the initiative to pay taxes and even ate some righteous horses. Why is it so difficult?

He also said: "What kind of kingship is, my sons don't know. What kind of righteousness is, my sons don't know. My sons only know that in their hearts, the people live a good life, that is, the kingship is, the so-called kingship is, not kingship. The rich family does not collect taxes, the richer the richer the richer the poorer the poor. Each family levies one stone tax. In a year, there are always some areas that have poor harvests, and many families will sell their children, displaced, or sell land to wealthy families in order to survive. If one stone of food tax is less, many people can live more people and reunite. Or the wealthy people have less chance of annexation, or the fun of using money to buy good children as slaves, or the child is less. Mr. Zhu, or do you want to see such a situation?"

This is another reason, and Zhu Jingze is a little difficult to answer.

Li Wei also said: "My son also knows that the country governs the country with Confucianism and benevolence is the basis of establishing a country. However, taxation is not a reward, so why fear it? What is feared is to harass the world. Every taxation is collected, but it involves many interests of the literati and the powerful. Therefore, the country does not collect it. However, Emperor Taizong said that people can carry boats and can also overturn the boats. This people are not a scholar, but a million poor people. At least, the ministers do not know that Chen Sheng, Wu, Guang and Zhang Jiao are called "What scholar," but Liang and Lu are the actions of the two men, who are sincere in their father, mother and queen, and take the initiative to pay tribute taxes. This can only be this family, and there is nothing else to do. If you set an example for merchants in the world, the country can get as much tax as the tax in a year. At least, my sons hear about the court's actions of profit and loan... Please think twice."

Zhu Jingze sighed and said, "Your Highness's kindness is admired by me. But this move is not what Your Highness thinks..."

However, Zhu Jingze did not have sufficient reasons for Li Wei, so he could not explain it.

Li Zhi turned his head and looked at Yan Liben and Hao Chujun and asked, "Hao Qing, Yan Qing, what do you think?"

I was still very moved. I was not in charge of the family and didn’t know how expensive it is to be a waste of food, rice, oil and salt. My son is right. If you have money, why bother to lend money to usury? It’s just a tax. Besides, you take the initiative to pay taxes, which means that you are the only one. It’s always better than giving money to usury.

Or there are ten or eight companies that pay taxes on their own initiative, even saving usury for making money.

Hao Chujun also pondered, but in fact he was all moved. He didn't know how much profit he made, and it was better. What the prince said just now was very reasonable. The world was great and the life was the greatest. But with the word "Businessman", no one dared to speak. The more clear the flow, the less dared to speak. Finally, he replied slowly: "This example can be opened once, but only this time. The emperor issued a decree to award a prize, but it is impossible to award an official title."

Zhu Jingze sighed, "I'm afraid that this example will not be the case once."

Li Wei snickered in his heart. Of course, this would not be the only time. With this example, it would be much easier to deal with in the future. But he did not expect that he would be blocked by Zhu Jingze so strongly, and even the candy he ate in his mouth was no longer sweet, with deep bitterness.

Of course, Li Zhi was also very hard, which made Da Zhu feel relieved.

But the sugar story finally spread in the capital. I heard that a good sugar was released in Jiangnan, which was better than Prince Candy.

In fact, there are two different things: sugar is not only used as snacks, but also used more and used more. Li Wei would not say it, so everyone looked forward to it, which did not disappoint Li Wei slightly.

It's the end of October, and the crown ceremony is added.

It was very complicated. This time Li Wei did not escape. He always treated the courtesy. After a day of hard work, his legs became weak.

"Come on, just massage the back for Gu," Li Wei lay on the bed weakly. The bed was very warm, and there was no quilt, but it had fine lines, hair and mattes, which were not inferior to the quilt. It was just that it was unknown whether the people could afford it. There were also many leather robes on their bodies, which would not be frozen.

Several pairs of small hands reached over, and even Wei Yue was looking at Bier and pounding it with a small hammer. There was no skill, and the strength was even less powerful and would not hurt. Maybe it was just knocking on the acupoint, which was also very comfortable. Li Lingyue sat at the head of the bed and laughed.

"Hong'er, you have a lazy side."

Li Wei jumped up suddenly and said, "See Mother Queen."

Then he glanced at the eunuch next to him with his eyes, and Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Don't blame them, this palace did not allow them to inform him. What does his family have to be unfamiliar with me?"

"yes."

"You guys go out."

Even Li Lingyue asked Wu Zetian to drive out, and Wu Zetian said: "I have shipped cotton seeds."

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, this is a great deal. In the future, thousands of households will wear warm clothes and cover the bed with a warm quilt, and will be grateful to Queen Mother."

"Don't be silly, I am just worried."

"Don't use it, please rest assured, my son will do his best to help."

"It's better to be successful, and there's nothing we can do if we don't need to be able to do. But I want the people to be better."

"The mother is kind and the son is all learned from the mother."

"You child, after being sick, became more thoughtful and his mouth slipped."

I don’t know if it’s praise or sarcasm, but Li Wei doesn’t know how to answer.

Wu Zetian said again: "But I came here, there is something to talk to you about."

"Please give instructions from my mother."

"You're finally adult."

"The son is always a child in front of his mother." He said that, and wanted to pull Wu Zetian's hand.

Wu Zetian retracted his hand and said, "Don't pull it anymore. You are adults and you need to pay attention."

Li Wei was speechless. Could it be that his mother would be ashamed? Wu Zetian said again: "But I have always kept some things in my heart. I wanted to say them, but I didn't say them."

"Instructions from the mother."

"Jiang Bier is still a Yunying body, right?"

"Yes," I finally understood that my mother was worried that she was "abnormal" and said, "Mother Queen, it's not because of the son's minister... It's just that Bi'er was too young and her minister's illness has not recovered. Therefore, the son'er also told Bi'er that after she was in the hairpin, the son's illness would be cured even more. It was time to sleep together. Besides, the father was in full swing in spring and autumn, and although he was also suffering from stubborn diseases, wasn't he with the mother's assistance? The son's descendants were not in a hurry."

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered it and said, "It's not just the father, but also the son minister. As long as the mother is in the world for one day, the son minister will ask the mother to help him for one day. The mother is wise and intelligent, so how can the people in the civilian market know? Even the prime ministers in the court are not as good as the mother's queen."

However, Wu Zetian didn't believe in his son's coldness and heat. He could only say that it was better than before. He kept making trouble, but he also learned to comfort and deceive himself. He made some progress. But cotton, if he wanted to make contributions, he needed his son's.

"Don't make me happy anymore. If you have a heart, I will finally see it. But there are no children in the East Palace and there is less fun. In fact, I am nearly sixty years old and I want to hug my grandson."

Li Wei couldn't help but raise his head.

My mother wants to hold her grandson, it’s a good thing. She is not afraid of her want to hold her grandson, but she is afraid of her killing her grandson. But how can this grandson hug her, she said hesitantly: "Bi'er is finally a little younger. And when she sees her mother, she is not in her sixties, but she seems to be just thirty."

"Thirty years old, I will live in this palace," Wu Zetian said with a head-on suppression, but with a smile on his face, he was still very proud of his appearance, and said, "Actually, Bier is fourteen years old, not young."

Li Wei didn't know what to say, and asked Bier to have sex, and wanted Bier to have a child. After looking at Bier's figure outside, he was helpless and asked tentatively: "What about Di Renjie's two daughters?"

There is a bit of guilt when having sex with Bier, but there is definitely no guilt when having sex with Di Huidi. Besides, my mother said that she had to do what she had to "do" when she was an adult. In fact, sometimes her body would be irritated. But after years of education, she has not made him hungry and eat.

"No, you are the crown prince and the crown prince of the country. Who are they? Not to mention the eldest grandson of the East Palace, even if they enter the East Palace, I will be thinking about it in the future." Wu Zetian refused flatly. Bier gave birth to a child, although she was a little low-born and did not want to be the crown prince, she was finally a good daughter. Her grandfather was still a small official and could barely take action. What are the identities of those two adopted daughters of Di Renjie!

Li Wei didn't know what to say. There was good news. He was not so repulsive to Di Huidi entering the Eastern Palace. He just had to wait until he had children, and he might even have to marry the Crown Princess. But Bier...

But when he heard his mother turn to the topic, he said, "It's a little smaller."

"yes."

"Let me do this. In a few days, I will see what kind of palace maids are from a good family and have good character. I will send her to the East Palace to be a good person."

"No," Li Wei said immediately. I gave it to you. There were too many women involved. This is not counting. Anyway, my harem cannot be lost. It's just a small amount. In the future, ten or twenty will probably be the "starting price". Of course, this will have to make a smooth transition. If this mother thinks about the queen, she will not talk about anything. But this woman cannot be accepted. God knows whether the person she arranged was sent by her mother. Everything she did was not kept secret. Another ear, every move, was in the eyes of this mother. If it were not even thought about running away, she could only surrender.

"Why not?"

"Mother, I'd better choose Bier. The old man, I'll feel more comfortable."

Wu Zetian did not force herself and said, "Transfer Jiang Bier and the little princess in."

When the two came in, Wu Zetian said to Li Lingyue: "Yue'er, I heard you pester your elder brother to sleep every day?"

"Yes, Mother Queen, my elder brother is very warm."

"This is not possible. Your elder brother is already a crown, and the one who is accompanying you must be a wife and concubine."

"Why?"

"Your elder brother is old and you need to have children."

"Then I sleep with you every day, why don't I have children?"
