Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1413 Treat if you are sick

"Diseases lie in the interstitial muscles, where the soup irons them; in the skin, where the needles and stones are;

Qin Tian paused, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, I quoted Bian Que's words when he saw Cai Huan Kilometer. It's too late, now my Tang Dynasty is like a sick person, now the disease is in the skin, only need soup and iron to cure it, if the disease enters the bone marrow in the future, it will not be easy to cure ah."

After Qin Tian said this, the faces of the officials in the court became a little ugly.

I have to say that what Qin Tian said is very reasonable. If this kind of thing is allowed to continue, the rich will become richer and richer, and they will gradually have enough strength, and the common people will become less and less rich, and the common people The population of the people is still increasing, and the land they are allocated is getting less and less.

With less land and more people, once the problem breaks out, it will be out of control.

That is the so-called terminally ill, bone marrow.

But now, this situation is just a symptom, and it will definitely be much easier to solve than it will be in the future.

However, although these officials felt that what Qin Tian said was reasonable, they felt distressed and their livers ached when they thought that they would lose so much land.

Li Shimin also suddenly felt a wave of fear here.

If it is true as Qin Tian said, this situation will become more and more serious, then the Great Tang will gradually perish like any other last dynasty, right?
If he can solve this problem well at this time, he can save some troubles for his descendants.

He didn't want his dynasty to suddenly fall after a few generations.

Originally, Li Shimin didn't want to face such pressure, nor did he want to take risks, but what Qin Tian said made him change his mind.

Because Qin Tian's words let him know that he is under a little pressure now, which will definitely be very helpful for their Datang's future.

He can't leave the problem to future generations, otherwise, if the future generations lack the ability, Datang will really cease to exist.

The court was quiet again, and Li Chengqian looked excited.

After a long time, Li Shimin finally spoke.

"Qin Aiqing's words are reasonable. If Tang is sick, he should be cured. In your opinion, how should the disease be cured?"

Although he thinks that this problem should be solved, Li Shimin does not agree with Li Chengqian's solution, because that solution is too extreme. To stipulate that aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen own a certain amount of land is tantamount to letting them cede their own land. How would you want to?
Since it is a minor illness, it is better to use a milder method to solve it.

Li Shimin turned his attention to Qin Tian. Since Qin Tian said what he said just now, he felt that Qin Tian should have a solution.

Qin Tian knew that there was no turning back when he opened the bow.

Since he stood up, he had to go all the way to the dark.

"Your Majesty, some people own a lot of land because of their wealth. This is really not conducive to the stability of our Tang Dynasty. It is necessary to set a certain range. For example, if a wealthy businessman, the land should not exceed a thousand acres. The land should not exceed [-] mu, and the range is already quite large. Within this range, these people pay taxes on the land owned by them according to the normal situation."

When they heard the previous words, many people in the court were a little nervous and unhappy, because the situation Qin Tian said seemed to be the same as Li Chengqian's, right?

Maybe it's just to expand the scope a little bit, but for many princes, their land is more than [-] mu, and it is normal for some people to have ten thousand mu of good land.

However, what Qin Tian said later seems to have another turning point.

So, everyone endured it for the time being and listened to Qin Tian continue talking.

"If the land exceeds the specified range, the food collected will have to pay more taxes. Even, if the land exceeds twice the specified land, for example, the state government has [-] mu of land, but they have [-] mu of land, then all they have We have to pay more taxes on the land, not just the extra part. In this way, some people can effectively restrain some people from wanton expansion of land. Moreover, we can use the over-collected taxes to subsidize those people. It will not happen that the people go hungry."

Qin Tian murmured and said a lot. While protecting the interests of some wealthy businessmen and dignitaries, he also considered the interests of some common people so that the problem would not worsen and cannot be alleviated.

In comparison, he was more mellow than Li Chengqian.

However, after listening to it, Li Chengqian felt that it made sense.

Many things have to be done slowly. You can't become fat if you eat at one bite.

After Qin Tian finished speaking like this, Li Shimin glanced at the group of officials and said, "My dear friends, what do you think?"

The officials looked at each other, Qin Tian said the solution was good, but for them, there must still be some losses.

People have a greedy mentality, and even a little loss will make them feel distressed and make them unwilling. Therefore, although Qin Tian protected some of their interests, they still lost a lot.

Therefore, when Li Shimin asked, some officials were still not very happy.

"My lord, I think this method is inappropriate."

"Yeah, this project is too huge and very troublesome. If it is not done well, it will cause problems. Today's Datang is very good."

"That's right, Your Majesty, the current Tang Dynasty is pretty good, so why reform?"

"........."

There were many people who opposed it, but Li Shimin suddenly felt a little displeased. Li Chengqian's method was too radical. It was normal for him to disapprove, but Qin Tian's method was very beneficial to Datang. Agreed, that's a bit unreasonable.

"Since you all feel that Qin Aiqing's method is not good, then use the prince's method. All the land that exceeds the regulations will be confiscated and distributed by the court."

Li Shimin said coldly, after he finished speaking, all the officials in the court suddenly felt pain in their hearts, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

They felt that Li Shimin was too shameless to use this method to persecute them.

People have a choice when it comes to their interests. Among the two options, they are naturally more inclined to choose the one with less loss. Li Shimin obviously grasped this point, so he forced them to agree.

And these ministers have nothing to do.

"My lord, I think Lord Qin's method is acceptable, and the project is not too big, so there is no problem if you take your time."

"That's right, Your Majesty, I also think Master Qin's method is fine, or use this method."

"Your Majesty, I also agree with Master Qin's method."

"My Tang Dynasty is just a minor illness now, so I don't need to spend so much trouble..."
