Chapter 171 One year

Li Wei thought of three words, literary inquisition.

In fact, this is a kind of love name, such as milk candy, which is called Prince Candy among the people. So the common people eat their own prince every day? Taboo may not be necessary. On the contrary, it makes people feel a little bit loved when they hear it. This is clearly because the sales of new candy are a bit delicious. It is because the new candy interferes with the interests of some people, or because they look down on businessmen. After staying for a long time, Li Wei began to like to think about conspiracy theories in everything.

But the power of writing is terrifying. The Tang Dynasty did not have a literary inquisition and was hidden in the dark. The power of Lu Liang and the other two was not worth mentioning. It just so happened that Liang Jinzhu and Lu Ma stayed in Luoyang and did not leave. They were summoned to the Eastern Palace and some ministers to serve at a banquet.

Just talked about this.

At the beginning, the tax paid was not much, only two thousand yuan, but now the tax paid is very heavy. Some ministers knew that 100,000 yuan a year would not be enough, but according to the current situation, 670,000 yuan was probably no problem. Two thousand yuan, with these memorials, can be enough to cut the new sugar in half. However, even Li Zhi had to consider it carefully.

The ministers, including some censors, were a little dissatisfied when they saw Liang Jinzhu and Lu Ma come in. Two ministers directly impeached the people regardless of the feelings of the people. Li Wei suppressed his hand and said, "I know the reason for your advice, but Lu Liang and the other two have no tribute tax. Can the court prohibit them from selling candy?"

This is impossible, and they are good businessmen, and since the disaster occurs, they have made many donations. They cannot speak with conscience.

Li Wei said again: "Or, are you talking about their tribute taxes? I don't know, but I know that the treasury of the court is so tight that one year is better than one year. What impact does the treasury of the court have caused? You can check it yourself. The court also needs the cost, your salary, the country's water conservancy projects, disaster relief, military expenses, sacrifices, gentlemen do not talk about profit, but the country has no wealth, so I don't know what will happen? Lu Liang and others set an example, why do you hate it so much?"

"This is a courtesy. The court has been paying attention to merchants for more than a year. I am just afraid that this will be done and will educate him." An official stood up from the table and said.

"Is it education? I thought about it alone, and it is wrong to assist the court in placing food to Guanzhong from thousands of miles away."

"Your Highness, this is nothing wrong, but why did the court award official titles?"

"That's right, it's not good to talk about profit. The world has been ruled by great rule and the king has become king. Or the other day, the emperor advises his father and mother, saying that the world has been ruled by great rule and the court officials do not need salary and rewards, so they can do good things for the country independently. The orphans don't know how to write, and you write for me. The country does not need to pay salaries to officials, but saves a lot of money a year."

When Lu Ma and Liang Jinzhu heard this, they bowed their heads and laughed without caring about the atmosphere of pressing down during the meal.

This minister didn't know how to answer. Li Wei didn't want to get into trouble on this issue and continued, "The year of great danger is not always there every year, but this is a special task. Although there are some low rewards, it has been a righteous act. The scholars and officials may not be good, but they also need to follow the ancient classics of morality. Merchants value profit and neglect righteousness, and they must be transformed into kings. Or they do not assist the court, keeping food at home and hoarding goods and making disasters. Is it good? Well, no wonder, I saw that many wealthy families, not merchants, did this. The best. The people were so hungry that they rose up and overthrew the court. Anyway, you are from famous families and the court can collapse, but the family will not fall. Just like Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan, the ministers of the Wu Kingdom surrendered to Wei, but they are officials, but what will happen if the lord surrendered to Wei?"

Who is afraid of whom when wearing a big hat?

This sentence is a bit heartbroken.

There was silence during the meal.

In fact, both sides said something wrong. In the current Tang Dynasty, it is unlikely that the disadvantages brought about by fully liberalizing business are indeed unpredictable. But it is just a matter of making a decision on the land. Even after the implementation of the Two Tax Law, the Tang Dynasty made more than 20 million yuan in a year, and it did not solve the most basic problems of the Tang Dynasty. The most miserable group of people were still the poorest.

The censor advised him a little ruthlessly, and Li Wei's big hat was a bit too big. But Li Wei stopped when he saw it was better, and his voice was eased. He said: "Liang Jinzhu and Lu Ma are both here. You can ask them, they just want to do some righteous deeds, thank their father and mother, and they may want to be an official title, have you ever asked? It's just a name, why should you face each other like swords? This move is even more unreliable. Playing games on words will be very dangerous. If you don't believe it, look at the poems, essays, songs and essays written by the court, or others, if you open this point, countless people will be killed and killed. Or, like Gu, who has written a lot of words, will be written as a top, but only writes about the high mountains and high spirits, but does not have other intentions. If the words are hidden, how can the father tolerate Gu?"

This sentence was pressed in my heart for a long time, and finally I said it through this matter.

What should I do? The so-called new candy is nominally Luma and Liang Jinzhu, but in fact it is his own. It is just two businessmen. Faced with such strong winds and waves, they don’t come out to block it. They are just a small boat.

After saying that, he took out two words and handed them to Liang Jinzhu and Lu Ma, and said, "Let's call this name from now on."

Although Li Wei still bowed his head to avoid being too long-winded, so he gave two names. One is Yangxue and the other is Bing Xin. Yangxue, the snow is always white and melts when you see the sunshine. Bing Xin is used to describe sugar sugar. It is not only the word "Give" but also set an example in front of so many people. The prince has a good impression of Liang and Lu...

Some officials frowned.

Li Wei said again: "Everyone, Liang and Lu told Gu that Xintang was thought of by their father and mother. However, they made great profits and did not want to be beautiful. If someone wanted to manage it, they would also teach it. However, as a customization, it would be tributed to the court for half of the tax. Gu had already written a memorial and handed it over to his father for trial. Not only that, the milk candy from the Liu family in Jingzhao also heard about this matter and wrote a letter to Gu, saying that he had also participated in this feat and paid part of the tax to the court."

To do this, many ministers can no longer say anything. Even Di Renjie, who knew the inside story, could only sigh.

If technology is given up and more people are operating, the tribute taxes received by the state will inevitably increase, but personal interests will be damaged.

But it took a long time to pass.

He was kind-hearted, but the officials did not compete with the people for profit. He said that he would come over and said that he would come over and said that he would come over and say that he would come over and say that he would come over and say that. Li Wei was speechless about this.

But the situation forced Li Zhi to pass the final.

The main thing is the Jiangdong plow, which itself has a gradual process, because Li Wei suddenly appeared, and he was the prince's identity and appeared on the Jitian Festival, and it was quickly popularized. At first, he only felt convenient, but later, because of the easier farming and some complex terrain, many people were thinking about it. Maybe it may not be possible to get a harvest after it was plowed. It is mainly water. In many places in Guanzhong, there was no farming because there was no related water conservancy.

The politics is still clear. Although officials are promoted, they also need political achievements. Business prosperity is not necessarily political achievements. However, a good harvest is a real political achievement. From top to bottom, they attach great importance to these fields. These fields are also needed to be cultivated, and water conservancy is also needed.

The water conservancy of the Tang Dynasty was still acceptable, but the water conservancy of these areas was not very good. So they wrote letters to demand that water conservancy be increased. The cost of water conservancy was mainly corvee labor, but large-scale water conservancy was not enough. Besides, in addition to corvee labor, the burden was heavy, and costs were also required. Originally, the national treasury was a little empty, so where did the cost come from? It could also increase benefits to the people, and because of the increase in arable land, the court's taxes would inevitably increase. From Li Zhi to officials at all levels, they valued it very much.

But where does the money come from?

It is not enough to truly compete with the people for profit. The merchants take the initiative to pay taxes, which is not a "small money". After New Year's Day, the first month passed again, and February came, and they paid nearly 30,000 yuan in taxes. Seeing this figure, Li Zhi called Yan Liben and Hao Chujun and told the matter.

Shy.

In fact, there are many people who covet, but the court did not become a custom-made product. Lu Liang and the two of them were not skilled and did not dare to use force to force them. After all, Liang Zhu had been greeted twice in public and praised twice. Therefore, some people gradually wrote letters to protect Lu Liang.

At this time, Di Renjie gradually understood why Li Wei wanted to release technology. Everything was difficult at the beginning. This was the formal commercial tax. With the sugar tax, then the salt tax... The country will gradually become rich, and perhaps the burden on the people will be lighter. At least, it will not damage the people because of lack of money.

But Di Renjie couldn't judge the gains and losses, so he had to look at them.

It's been a year since the Tang Dynasty!

Li Wei was not worried about the sugar tax. If he had too much money, his father would be moved sooner or later.

Of course, Li Wei was no longer in charge of the country, and spring was coming again, so he often ran to the suburbs to see the imperial village.

Spring has arrived, and there are more things in the imperial village and it has gradually improved. The seeds and seedlings of various crops have been planted, but have not grown yet. They have a little green in the clear water. Alfalfa began to grow on the hillside, with chicken coops and pig coops.

But there is no other thing that has caused a sensation.

When cotton seeds arrived in Luoyang, they did not introduce seeds from Lingnan. There was an evolutionary adaptation process. Lingnan was hot and the climate was different from Luoyang. The Western Regions were also different from Luoyang, but the gap was slightly smaller than Lingnan. Moreover, in Li Wei's memory, cotton was planted in later generations in a large scale, but it was the best cotton in Xinjiang. Then it was North China, then Jianghuai, and Lingnan seemed to have no fame.

Wu Zetian didn't understand, but there was one advantage. He didn't understand it anymore and was not good at making decisions. After listening to his son's words, he led the seeds of the Western Regions over. It was just a cart and the envoy had not come back yet. As for his wife's actions, Li Zhi didn't say anything and let his wife do it. So he was very popular and planted in many official and imperial fields at once.

The queen's ministers did not object. After all, food and clothing were the most important things at this time. People regard food and clothing as the most important thing. It is not that they eat well or dress well, they eat full and warm clothes. But everyone thought it was strange. There were always some things that were wrong, first the crown prince, then the queen, and mixed with the palace maids of the Eastern Palace and the two merchants Lu Liang. In the past or two years, many new things came out. So a minister asked, and after asking, the so-called cotton was the grass cotton seeds from Lingnan and the Western Regions. The yield was not high and the textile was cumbersome.

I asked again and there was something wrong, the method of planting was wrong, and I even heard of some more complex planting methods. I don’t know if it’s good or not, but I have a bunker, which seems to be very warm. I’m not sure about it, and I think of some of the Queen’s methods, and I’m very afraid of it. I can advise the emperor, the crown prince, and the queen, but I dare not advise. Of course, if it fails, I can advise the big and special advice. I don’t have a good impression of the queen and more than half of the ministers in the court. So I kept silent and waited to watch the fun.

Wu Zetian didn't have much confidence. He asked Li Wei several times, and Li Wei clapped his hands to ensure the output. Only then did the chariots could do nothing. Then he secretly gave Wu Zetian ten thousand yuan in money. His mother made a big deal and borrowed the land of Guanzhuang and Huangzhuang. This was costless, but so many lands could not be like the imperial farm outside Chang'an City, which gathered the power of a farm and placed it on more than ten acres of land. If you want to produce a sensation, you must have high yields. Of course, my mother is not afraid of any righteousness, which will make her father taboo. The higher the output, the better. It is best to produce 500 kilograms of lint per mu of land. Fertilizer, labor, and even because it is still cold in early spring, it takes cost to keep the straw shed in heat.

He has the knowledge of his mother's ambitions. However, the court has limited resources and great work. If it is not done well, it will affect the yield. The mother will make the ministers laugh at her, and even many ministers are waiting to see her mother's good show, and then "reject Wu" again. Wu may not be able to be thrown away. The mother will resent him and think that she intends to embarrass her.

Wu Zetian asked after a long time, "Why are you there so much money?"

"Lu Liang. After they arrived in Jiangnan, they did not have a smooth flow. Erchen said some good things and donated some. Originally, Erchen wanted to use it to the court, but he thought that the mother brought in cotton and would have a lot of expenses, so he did not report to his father."

"This is not good after all."

"My mother, my son also knows that it is not good. It is not for me to use it. Once the cotton is promoted, thousands of households have clothes to wear and thick quilts to cover. This is a matter of benefiting the people and their descendants. It is also the wish of Lu Liang and the other two."

"They are not very good at heart, but a pity, they are just merchants."

"There are also good people in merchants, such as Di Renjie's two adopted daughters, who have cultivated morality and talent, and even children of aristocratic families may not be as good as that."

When Wu Zetian heard Di Hao and Di Hui, he didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "When they paid half of the tax, their profits were not very heavy. Merchants eventually took profits, but they could not bear the money in the future. You are the prince, so you need to be careful when doing things."

"yes."

The cotton matter is a bit far away, and the seeds are gone, and I don’t know whether it is good or bad. The diverse business of the Huangzhuang is also very far away. I only see chicks and ducks growing day by day. Alfalfa began to pull out the green seedlings, causing some green on the hillside to appear. I don’t even know what method to use, so I got a lot of fry and poured them into the swamp. The places where there are prone to gaps were blocked with dense nets. But some new methods of planting have shown the results.

In some experimental fields, rapeseed was transferred, and even wheat and barley were not used to spread. They stepped on pits, added fertilizer, and cultivated carefully. Some prefectures and counties were more, while others were less. Not many, and they could see their growth after spring. Ziyunying may not pay much attention to it, and there may not be many farmers who can listen to it, but they pay attention to farm fertilizer. Therefore, many people asked for horse manure for the imperial court to raise horses.

It has not been popularized yet. Even if the results are seen, it will be even slower in this era. Without ten or eight years, it may not be effective. But just like the warm wind in early spring, it seems to bring vitality.

It was not like in the past few years, and I didn't hear any disaster. The court began to announce something, asking the Crown Prince Left Guard Deputy Liang Jishou to be the chief marching officer of the Yaozhou Road to fight against the rebellion of the barbarians. However, he was still frowning with Tubo, and Jiang Ke was in Liangzhou, and he was sick in the year, and he was worried, and died of illness. The people had rumors that Jiang Ke scared the Tubo people to death. So the court's shame became more serious.

After Li Wei heard this, he refused to say anything. The court was indignant about this, but he didn't know much, but he knew that the shame had just been pulled out, and there would be more and more great defeats in the future. Of course, there would be victory, but like in the early Tang Dynasty, it would be impossible to win invincible.

One of the most important reasons for all this is the corruption of the government military system. If there is enough Yongye field to ensure that there is no worries and enough rewards, the government military system will not be destroyed, the Tang Dynasty's heroic soldiers are still strong soldiers, and they will also write the glory of the Han people.

To do this, it takes fields and the court must have enough wealth.

Therefore, what he does now seems unimportant, but the impact is profound.

I don’t want to show my merits, but I just see the people’s love for him and do my best. But for myself, saving my life is the most important thing.

Life seems to be very stable, and I have a lot of money in my hand. Di Renjie has not used the money he has given to Di Renjie, so he keeps it as a preparatory place. But the remaining money accumulates more and more, and even if he runs away, he won’t worry. This is the confidence!

I have a little more harmonious relationship with my parents.
