Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 1008 Tax Abatement Proposal
The most elite units of Datang Shence Guards and Frontier Army are pure firearms units.

The lesser elite units use pure steel heavy armor units.

Right now, only the Datang Ordnance Department has solved the problem of waterproofing gunpowder in rainy and snowy weather, then Datang will abandon the heavy armor troops and turn all of them into firearms troops.

Li Shimin can calculate the lethality of the firearms troops without actual combat. If 5000 people kill [-] enemies, there will be no more than [-] casualties.

After more than 1000 years, the development process of this firearm will definitely be even more terrifying.

Therefore, what Li Shimin cares about is the people's livelihood, which represents the national power, and it is the national power that is fought in wars. Only when there are coins and elites, can there be enough weapons.

Li Shimin laughed when he heard that rice in the Indochina Peninsula was an annual export volume of [-] million shi.

Food is people's livelihood, and people's livelihood is national strength.

At night, Dugu Lanruo sat by the bed and asked Liu Mu, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"What do you want me to say, that I am using something to revive my soul." Liu Mu is unwilling to admit the term "resurrecting the soul with a dead body".

If Dugu Lan didn't speak after listening to it, what Liu Mu said couldn't be said to be unreasonable. It's really hard to talk about such a strange and chaotic thing. It might make people think he is a lunatic, or he might lose his life.

Liu Mu sat beside Dugu Lanruo: "Actually, I wanted to say it before, but I didn't know how to say it at that time, but gradually I couldn't find a chance to say it. This secret is actually nothing, and no one really said it. Believe me, I plan not to say anything in my life."

Dugu Lanruo glanced at Liu Mu and asked: "Is there me in the history books, how did I write it?"

This question made Liu Mu's whole body chill.

"What?" Dugu Lanruo felt very strange after seeing Liu Mu's reaction.

Liu Mu said: "No, there is no record at all. Normally speaking, at least a few words will be mentioned in the biography of Princess Pingyang. And in the real history, Xie Yingdeng retired to the mountains after Li Tang. And there is..."

Liu Mu didn't say any more, but he figured it out in his heart.

"This is the theory of the axis of time and space that I first mentioned. This is not the same Tang Dynasty as the time and space I am in. It can only be said to be similar, but not exactly the same. That's it."

Liu Mu figured it out, if there was no Dugu Lanruo, there would be no opportunity for him to participate in the Xuanwumen incident.

If Dugu Lan couldn't understand what the time-space axis is, she asked again: "Then the eldest brother-in-law?"

"He, he has a special biography, which is very clearly recorded in history."

"It's true!" When Dugu Lanruo spoke, she stretched out her hand and twisted Liumu's waist fiercely, and said at the same time: "Then tell you, have you ever thought about finding a chance to marry a real princess, or someone from a powerful family... …

This topic is a proposition.

It cannot be solved at the intellectual level.

Li Shimin, Liu Mu and the others lived in Sanyuan Xiaozhuang for a few days, and chatted a lot.

A few days later, on the day the four of them returned to Chang'an City, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty handed over a proposal to Shang Shuxing, requesting that the cabinet discuss matters in the fall.

Du Ruhui, minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Yao Silian, one of the five elders of the cabinet this year, are on duty at the Shangshu Province.

When they saw Li Shimin's proposal, they were taken aback.

"This……"

Yao Silian brought Li Shimin's proposal to Du Ruhui with a shocked expression.

Du Ruhui was also surprised when he saw it: "If there are two minors in the family, 75 mu of land tax will be exempted, and two daughters will be exempted from land tax. For every additional son in the family, there will be an additional ten mu of land tax exemption, with a maximum of [-] mu. Craftsmen are calculated according to their monthly salary. It is converted into [-] ren per mu, and Jingzhao and each Daozhou prefecture and county will increase or decrease according to the local income."

After Du Ruhui finished reading, he looked up at Yao Silian.

Yao Silian said: "Although you and I are not working in the household department, this account can be calculated. According to this calculation, based on an average of three dings per household, the treasury income from the population tax will be reduced by thousands of dollars every year." Wanguan."

Du Ruhui nodded, this number is quite astonishing.

"Come here." Du Ruhui ordered two scribes to come forward immediately.

Du Ruhui sealed the bill and handed it over: "Send it to the household department, let the two servants of the household department read it and don't spread it. I will discuss it with Yao Gong and them in a few days."

"Yes!"

When the clerk left, Du Ruhui said to Yao Silian: "The Ministry of Household Affairs can definitely calculate how much tax revenue will be lost every year. However, if the treasury revenue is tens of millions, the Tang Dynasty can afford it. If you think about it, if there are three households on average, Then the population of Datang will increase by 20% every ten years, and the population of Datang will increase by [-]% every [-] years.”

Yao Silian nodded: "This is the fifth time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that a national policy has been formulated to increase the population."

"The sum of the previous four times is not as good as this one."

Du Ruhui wrote another document. The content of the document was to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to make a careful calculation. If the tax exemption for population increase is changed to an incremental method, then what kind of incremental method is more appropriate and more reasonable.

Also seal it, and send someone to send it to the past.

The proposal of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was not circulated outside the public, but only circulated on a small scale within the Shangshu Province, the Six Ministries, and the high-level cabinet.

This is already within the scope of a major national policy, and the important ministers have been discussing in private for several days the details of the feasibility, reliability, benefit of the country, and benefit of the people of this national policy.

Li Shimin was also discussing this topic with Liu Mu in the palace.

"Second brother, I made this very clear. When the business tax is perfect and the state-owned key workshops are running well, the grain tax is really exempted. It is even given to many growers and workers needed by the state. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing because the grain tax is now exempted.”

What Liu Mu said is the truth, the times are different, and the grain tax is not waived lightly.

Li Shimin is full of confidence: "This matter is just a proposal, and the cabinet must have been discussing it in private. Whether it is feasible, whether it is against or in support, requires a detailed analysis and plan. Not to mention that one child will be exempted from ten acres, Even if it is reduced by one mu, it is also an achievement and the support of the people."

"That's true!" Liu Mu agreed with Li Shimin's words very much.

At this time, someone came in to report.

"Report, the Ministry of Rites sent people to come. Goguryeo's envoy, Yuan Pure Land, went to Laizhou by sea, and went to Chang'an by land via Qizhou. He had already arrived in Huazhou. Wenyue Pavilion also sent people to report. A copy of the Shangyuan Pure Land dossier."

Li Shimin signaled to leave the file, then waved his hand to signal to leave.

Li Shimin didn't read the dossier, and pushed it in front of Liu Mu.

Liu Mu opened the file and looked through it and said, "Second brother, Wenyue Pavilion's analysis of Yuan's family has begun to be a little suspicious. This Yuan Pure Land probably came here to test something. The people in Wenyue Pavilion analyzed that one is Baekje, The second is Maoshan, and the third is Liaocheng."

"Liaocheng?" Li Shimin was a little surprised.
