Chapter 98: Wait (2)

"Your Highness, the reason why I say this is because I see that your highness is kind and generous." Di Renjie suddenly said something stupid.

He was not the only one who saw this problem, but there was no way to solve it. If he said it, he might ask you to pick it up, and no one could ask it. If it weren't for Li Wei's character, he would definitely not say it. He didn't intend to let Li Wei find a solution, but just reminded him, this is also a kind of teaching.

"Di Qing praised it." Li Wei felt ashamed. He had always wanted to save his life. He planned to escape the road if he couldn't save his life. He really didn't pay much attention to the people of the country. If it weren't for Di Renjie's mention today, he wouldn't even think about the system of renting and military service.

"But your Highness must not learn from Emperor Yang of Sui."

I heard this sentence. How Yang Guang ascended the throne to save his life? I have carefully analyzed it. At the beginning, Yang Guang was very good. Queen Dugu wanted to be monogamous, but Yang Yong had many wives and concubines. But Yang Guang only had one wife, that is, Concubine Xiao who married five or six kings. My son Yang Jian was chaste. Yang Yong liked music, singing and dancing, and had a banquet. Yang Guang's family was full of old and ugly maids, and the musical instruments were covered with dust. Every time he went out, he just cried when he saw his parents, because

Di Renjie repeatedly told him to cry if he could cry, and to be sad if he could not cry, even if he was a good person, he would be good. Yang Jian and his wife sent eunuchs to watch Yang Yong. Yang Yong was arrogant and opposed, but Yang Guang and his wife greeted him personally and sent him to the door. Before he ascended the throne, the Nanzheng did not mention his merits. The morals shown were frugal, simple, humble, humble, eager to learn, respect for the wise and the inferior, not like to speak and behave with both sensuality and military affairs, which can be said to be a model for combining human virtues into him.

After seeing this history, Li Wei couldn't help but open his eyes and cursed, Grandma, is this still the tyrant?

"Di Qing, please rest assured. Gu may not have done a good job, and Emperor Yang of Sui still disdained it."

In fact, the reason why Di Renjie reminded me was because Li Wei did a good job in some aspects. He could do it with kindness to the people, but even Di Renjie himself might not be able to do it. Besides, he is not a rude and despicable person.

If such a prince becomes the emperor, what kind of great achievements will he do?

He didn't have many concerns and thoughts of loyalty to the emperor, he wanted to immediately overthrow Li Zhi and Wu Zetian and support Li Wei to ascend the throne.

It was too good that Yang Guang and Wang Mang could find some artificial things, but Li Wei could not find them, especially Ji Tianji's actions, which were not true feelings and could not be done at all. This made him feel distracted at times.

Di Renjie turned to the topic again and said: "The court also had some plans. In the sixth year of Wude (623), the households in the world were classified as third-class. By the ninth year of Wude, it was classified as ninth-class. Some meritorious families were declining and took back the reward land. However, the population increased and new rewards appeared, the land became more and more inadequate. When dividing households, officials might not perform their duties, and even received bribes, with high households and low households and high households. This is a pity for the court. However, taxes are not required to be imposed on the land."

This is the second time I say it is absolutely impossible.

“Why?”

"The current large-scale land farmers are the famous families that have been relocated from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, such as Cui Lu, Li Zheng Wang, the second is the meritorious family and important officials in the court, and the third is the emerging commoners. These people are all elites of the court. If taxes are used by land, they will touch the interests of the entire elite. Even if Taizong is alive, they will not dare to do it easily. If they do not violate them, they will still change the original fields, and those who obtain the fields do not gain much, and those who lose the fields will complain. The gains are not worth the loss. Besides, if taxes are used by land, they must remeasure the land acres, and then the chaos in the world may cause disasters. In fact, the crisis is not serious now, but it is probably thirty years, fifty years, and a hundred years later."

Li Wei's idea was blocked in a few words.

"This disadvantage will eventually be removed."

Di Renjie was meditating and silent. There must be a solution, but he just can't think of it. Even if there is, the pain will definitely be inevitable. Finally, he said: "Wait!"

These are not what you consider, nor are they considering them. You must wait until you get to the top to find a solution and have the right to solve them.

"Yes, I have to wait."

I don’t know if I have to wait until that year, I may not be able to wait.

However, it was not the two of them who were waiting.

The guards were waiting for a short time. After Li Wei made "Ramadan". Although he had no complaints, he still didn't like it because he banned meat and hunting.

Xu Yanbo was waiting for Li Wei to return to Luoyang. Not only did he stay in this group of people during Ramadan, he had no face.

The ministers in Luoyang, Chang'an, were also waiting. None of them were fools who had a strong drought and strong wind, which made them feel that a storm was coming. However, when they thought of the queen's methods, most people still didn't dare to say anything and had to wait and see.

Even Wu Zetian was waiting. The situation was very unfavorable to her, and she put a glimmer of hope in the pools in Chang'an...

Bier bent down to look at Qingmiao. When she was a child, her family was poor, so she opened some land on the open space in the yard to plant some vegetables and grain for the holiday. However, she didn't know much. She watched Li Wei come over and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know how the sorghum of the land planted in the Huangzhuang was like you?"

"Brother, when will you plant sorghum?" Li Lingyue asked curiously.

"It's not me who planted it, it's people from Xijing Huangzhuang who planted it. It's just that I asked them to plant it using some methods in "Qimin Yaoshu"."

Not only that! Even Di Renjie didn't pay attention. The prince was kind and caring about the farming affairs, it's no wonder.

"Oh, I'm going back to Xijing to see it too."

Can you go back and come back and come back?

However, Li Wei was indeed spoiling to some extent. Although he was also playing, he did not put down his books and did not spend much time with him during the day. So he asked the guards to take her around. After being greatly influenced by Li Wei, he saw the poor and needed relief. This was not difficult, unlike Chang'an where there were disaster victims everywhere, even if she was asked to see, she could not see dozens of poor people, so he was relieved.

After a long time, I got tired of seeing the mountain and wanted to go to Dengfeng County not far away.

This time, there are many poor people, and even if the Dengfeng County Magistrate conceals it, there are still some bad phenomena. I don’t understand it very well. Anyway, I think it is bad, and I will be a hero and righteous person. The most serious thing is that Li Wei has not made some clear explanations in some aspects, and it is not clear that it is all rich. It may not be like this. Although the poor are pitiful, they are not all good. The rich may not be all bad. Especially some lazy and lazy slutty liars, who think they can take advantage of the opportunity. When they hear Li Lingyue traveling, they will only find trouble for the rich.

This made some wealthy families or big families in Dengfeng County afraid to go out.

An official in Dengfeng County was even more amused and crying.

Fortunately, she didn't know how to deal with it. She saw that she had to pay for money and food, but there was no criminal law to deal with it. After hitting the bad luck, she had to use money and food to spend money to eliminate disasters.

Well, in general, these days, I have won a good reputation near Shaolin Temple, and I have a bit of a girl-child version of Bao Qingtian's attitude.

In fact, when Wu Zetian and Li Zhi heard this, they laughed and wrote a letter to Li Wei, "Please manage it a little." Just discipline it, so why bother adding a little word. So Li Wei didn't care.

He stroked Li Lingyue's head and said, "I'm going back now, it's still Qingmiao. When autumn comes, we should return to Xijing at that time. I'll take you to see it again."

Wu Zetian had hope for bamboo paper, but still didn't believe it very much. However, Li Wei was very confident in bamboo paper, not the complex process. He just didn't have a bottom line in the harvest. Fertilizer was not a problem, and he was even afraid of excessive fat and causing negative effects to grow fat. The people in the imperial village also used different amounts of fertilizer. The planting method was no different from those in later generations, and even the level of careful servo was even better.

The key is seeds, and the seeds are also evolving. The seeds are definitely not very good now. If it weren’t for this, the yield of a thousand kilograms per mu is not realistic, but the yield of a thousand kilograms per mu may not be a dream!

How many things are in the bottom line? Only the autumn harvest can be seen!

They were talking, and the old farmer was already suspicious, walked over and asked respectfully: "May I ask, are you the Prince?"

"yes."

"The subjects pay homage to His Highness the Prince and His Highness the Princess."

“No need to be polite.”

"The prince is Prince Ren, and the princess is also a good princess."

It came again, but Li Wei was very happy. This time he brought his sister to him and finally got the greatest benefit. He was praising himself, but he was hurting himself, but when he praised himself and praised his sister, the problem was not very serious. This is good. Should we pull all three younger brothers out in the future? The five brothers and sisters, no matter where they go, they will go together?

But people recognized it, and immediately came to watch. It was the land of a certain county magistrate. No matter how good the growth was, it could not attract everyone's interest. So they left and returned to Shaolin Temple.

On the road, I was thinking about Di Renjie's words again. I knew that I had no right to ask, but as a time traveler, I couldn't find a solution? After thinking about it, I had no idea. I just felt in my heart that no matter what idea I had on the field, there might not be a good result. After moving around, the farmer had worked very hard. For example, before going through it, farmers began to receive a little subsidy, and they were still the most miserable group of people. Industry? Commerce?

But when I thought of my father's scolding that day, I immediately gave up my thoughts. Let's take a little more peace. Besides, what kind of industry does the small workshop come from now?

When he returned to Shaolin Temple, Wei Yuanzhong suddenly whispered to him: "I have a letter from Xijing. Since His Highness left Xijing, he has calculated the income and made a total profit of more than 5,300 yuan."

He said it very guiltyly. A scholar and an official appointed by the court actually made a profit. Although it was a profitable income.

Di Renjie looked at them suspiciously.

Li Wei explained: "Di Qing, that workshop was actually opened alone. The East Palace was in financial difficulties. Sometimes I saw that the people were poor but were powerless, so I adapted a little."

Di Renjie looked strange and always mistakenly thought it was a subsidy for the Jiang family. Although Bier and his two brothers were officials, they were doing the business of selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, and many officials were even doing it. This workshop was still controlled by the Jiang family.

The prince is doing business?

It took a while before he said, "This is not very good."

When Li Wei heard the headache, even Di Renjie said this, which shows the whole society's view of businessmen. He had to say: "Di Qing, Gu knows it's not good, but doing some good things can help some ordinary people. If you have a bad reputation, it doesn't matter if you are."

"It's not very good, it's not very good," Di Renjie shook his head while thinking about it.

I have to wait for a while to persuade him, and turned around and asked Wei Yuanzhong: "Why did you get so much profit?"

Although he sent someone to assist the prince, Wei Yuanzhong frowned and choked and replied: "The merchants thought it was opened by Mrs. Jiang's family. When he heard the appreciation of Mrs. Jiang and the queen, he did not ask about profits and purchased goods in a large manner to gain this relationship. So, profit, profit, profit arise."

Li Wei suddenly had an idea and asked, "What would happen if the court imposed a salt tax?"

"Your Highness, no," Di Renjie said hurriedly.

Five things to do: firewood, rice, oil, salt and vinegar. The price of salt is quite high, but once taxed, people's lives will be affected immediately.

"But what if there are a lot of salt and the method of pre-extraction is cheap and quick?"

“This is unlikely.”

"What if, or to put it simply, the salt will be a lot, and the cost may be less than a penny per bucket, what will happen?"

If each bucket is less than one cent, even if it is transported from Lingnan to Luoyang, the freight will not exceed fifty cents. Even if it is a small bucket, it will be fifty kilograms, which is more than twenty kilograms later, which is still much lower than the current salt price. You can levy some taxes.

But Di Renjie shook his head and said, "It's impossible."
