Chapter 506 Chapter 517: Flourishing
The officials heard this and looked at each other. Li Hao's method was perfect. Some people were not convinced and wanted to object, because according to Li Hao's method, the amount of pensions would increase, and the court would support this group of disabled soldiers. For a lifetime, but they thought about it, the survival of the disabled soldiers must be solved. The country can't abandon them after the soldiers have dedicated themselves to the country. If they object, they will probably anger all the generals. They are all loyal people, which military commander does not cherish his soldiers, at this moment those generals are looking at Li Hao with grateful eyes, so they all gave up the idea of ​​speaking out against them.

Next, Li Shimin put the merit memorial next to him, and picked up the second memorial, which was the memorial to impeach Zhang Liang. Minister?"

All the ministers were shocked when they heard the words, Li Hao wants to impeach someone?This is the first time, when everyone looks at me and I look at you, they are all a little scared, and start to reflect on whether they have done anything wrong recently.

"Return to Your Majesty." Li Hao said loudly, "I impeached Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and delayed the battle in the battle against Goguryeo, resulting in the failure of the battle to destroy Goguryeo. If Zhang Liang hadn't let Goguryeo survive, the battle of Youzhou would not have been like this. It is tragic, and there will not be so many soldiers and people sacrificed by Hu Yi, I beg your majesty to punish Zhang Liang severely!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room was shocked, and Zhang Liang was even more shocked, angry and frightened. During this period of time, he had already behaved with his tail between his legs. Unexpectedly, Li Hao jumped out to impeach him and gave him such a big punishment The black pot not only shifted the responsibility for the defeat of Goguryeo to him, but also shifted the responsibility for the battle of Youzhou to him. He was trembling with anger, pointed at Li Hao and shouted: "You...you...you... ... full of nonsense! full of nonsense ..."

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Hao and Zhang Liang. His original good mood became a bit uncomfortable. He still knew Zhang Liang quite well. To describe it in one sentence, the mediocre people, Zhang Liang is very mediocre. He has not made any great achievements, but he has not made any big mistakes. Moreover, Zhang Liang is very good at standing in the team. Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Liang has always been in the team. He is very lucky and can stand in the right team every time. He hasn't done much since then, but by virtue of his so-called loyalty and hard work, he also became the Duke of the country, his portrait was included in Lingyan Pavilion, and he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Liang, and felt very uncomfortable. Everything Li Hao said deeply touched Li Shimin's heart. If Zhang Liang hadn't delayed the battle, he might have destroyed Goguryeo. The battle of Goguryeo can be said to be Li Shimin's. The great regret in my life was all caused by Zhang Liang, and if Goguryeo was destroyed, would Gai Suwen lead an army of [-] to fight Youzhou? Naturally, the battle of Youzhou would not be so tragic.

However, Li Shimin still cares about old feelings. Zhang Liang has followed him for so many years. The mistake he made was not big, so Li Shimin didn't pursue it at all, but after Li Hao's interpretation, Zhang Liang's fault was serious, which made Li Shimin very embarrassed.

Seeing Li Shimin's hesitation, Li Hao cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Ming monarch should put the country and the country as the most important thing, and everything I said is true. In the battle of Goguryeo and Youzhou, how many soldiers were buried on the battlefield, and how many sons were in vain. Blood was spilled, their mothers were sent by white-haired people to black-haired people, and their wives waited for the body of their husbands. Some people could not even find the corpses, so they had to hand back the relics and go home. How many families cried and wailed because of this. Everything is thanks to Zhang Liang! Zhang Liang did not use a knife or a gun! He actually killed tens of thousands of hot-blooded sons of the Tang Dynasty. How can such a useless person be allowed to hold a high position in an official position and eat a vegetarian meal in his corpse!"

At the end of his speech, he pointed directly at Zhang Liang with his feather fan, his momentum was unmatched, his eyes and words were like a sharp sword, combined with the righteousness of his body, it was extremely fierce, Zhang Liang was directly drunk by his words and fell to the ground , looking at Li Hao in horror, unable to say a word, the officials and Li Shimin were also moved.

Li Hao's words touched Li Shimin deeply. He killed tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty without even firing a knife or a single gun. This sounds like a terrible thing. A wise leader is very important to an army and a country. Speaking of how important it is, he finally let go of the selfishness in his heart, and said slowly: "As Li Hao played, Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, took away all titles and positions, and put him in the prison of Dali Temple. Convict him of all his criminal evidence!"

Hearing this, all the officials were shocked, the dignified Duke of Yun and Minister of the Ministry of Officials was defeated by Li Hao?He just lacked a little bit of ability during the war, so he went to jail like this?They felt that their worldview was going to be turned upside down. Chu Suiliang wanted to intercede. He first glanced at Changsun Wuji, only to see that Changsun Wuji was still looking ahead, as if he hadn't heard or seen anything. He was immediately shaken, he always looked forward to Changsun Wuji, but today Changsun Wuji remained motionless, as if he had left his soul at home before going to court, his heart was pounding, and seeing Li Shimin's decisive attitude, he dared not intercede even more , In the end, I could only comfort myself in my heart: "Forget it, forget it, anyway, I have no friendship with Zhang Liang, so let's not get into this muddy water."

Chu Suiliang took back the foot he had just stepped on halfway, and this action fell into the eyes of the officials. The officials secretly thought about why Chu Suiliang wanted to ask for love but suddenly changed his mind. There must be something tricky in it. Although other people also wanted to intercede, but considering that Chu Suiliang's official position was higher than them, they did not dare to intercede. Already in the limelight, Changsun Wuji didn't say a word.

Soon the Jinwu Guards came in and dragged Zhang Liang away. Zhang Liang screamed in despair, but no one paid any attention to him. When he was dragged to the gate of the palace, Zhang Liang began to yell at Li Hao. Li Hao shook his feather fan lightly, but ignored it.

When Zhang Liang's scolding gradually faded away, Li Hao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Di Renjie from Dali Temple is very accurate in solving the case, and he is extremely capable in solving the case. I ask Di Renjie to thoroughly investigate Zhang Liang's criminal evidence!"

Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Quick play!"

Li Hao's second memorial was successfully passed again, and the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall has reached an extremely strange level. The high-spirited Li Hao, the silent eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Shimin who cooperated extremely with Li Hao, the three of them seemed like three people. It was like a big stone pressing on the chests of those opponents, making them very uncomfortable.

At this time, Li Shimin picked up the third memorial, and said slowly: "This third memorial, you can talk about it yourself."

"Yes!" Li Hao saluted and said loudly, "Your Excellency, please implement the new tax system nationwide immediately!"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were in an uproar, and Chu Suiliang couldn't bear it any longer, and was the first to jump out and object loudly: "Your Majesty, when the tax system was decided, it was first implemented in Guanzhong for a year, but now the one-year deadline has not yet come..."

Li Hao interrupted Chu Suiliang directly, and said: "Chu Shilang was joking, why did you set a one-year trial period?"

Chu Suiliang served as the servant of the Huangmen, so Li Hao called him the servant of the Huangmen. Although the servant of the Huangmen did not have much power, he had a great say in government affairs, so Chu Suiliang was qualified to speak on matters of the tax system.

Chu Suiliang hurriedly said: "Of course I'm afraid that the new tax system will not work, and it will be quite harmful!"

Li Haodao: "It has been half a year since the trial of the new tax system. The Secretary of the Household Department, Li Daozong, is here. You might as well ask him how much commercial tax has been collected in the past six months."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. Seeing Li Hao's confident posture, it seemed that the business tax collected in the past six months was not low.

Chu Suiliang was also heartbroken, and looked at Li Daozong, but he didn't dare to ask. He didn't dare to ask, but Li Shimin was very curious. He wanted to know what the new tax system was like, so he asked, "Li Daozong, come out and say, In the past six months, how much business tax has been collected in Guanzhong?"

Li Daozong went out to salute and said: "Your Majesty, the commercial tax for July has not yet been reported to the Ministry of Households. From February to June, the total commercial tax income of Guannei Road is 68 guan."

As soon as this figure was reported, all the ministers exclaimed in surprise, and Li Shimin was also dumbfounded. In just five months, and it was just a pass, he collected 68 guan in business tax. What kind of concept is this? It is already equivalent to that of the Tang Dynasty One-third of the annual tax, although the Guannei Road is the richest one in the Tang Dynasty, it is too much. Now Li Shimin firmly believes in what Li Hao said, the wealth of the world is gathered in the hands of merchants. This immediately strengthened Li Shimin's determination to implement the new tax system.

All the ministers knew that after this number was reported, the emperor would definitely implement a new tax system, but Chu Suiliang was not reconciled and said loudly: "Even so... even so... In the past six months, there have been hundreds of shops and vendors in Chang'an because of Business tax and closed down..."

Li Hao interrupted him again, saying: "Master Chu, why did they close their doors, have you never thought about it, because their business is not good at all, they have been hanging so half-dead, lingering, wanting to close the doors, reluctant, wanting to do well Business, they are not that kind of material, the new tax system has a great use, that is, weed out all those who are not good at doing business, and if they stop doing business, there are naturally other businesses that can be done, 360 lines, the number one in every line, Now that the agricultural production is so high, and the agricultural tax has been reduced by half, they can go back home and farm without losing money. Isn’t this in line with the original intention of my Tang Dynasty to encourage farming.”

Chu Suiliang was dumbfounded by his words, opened and closed his mouth several times, but couldn't find a word to refute, and finally stomped his feet in anger, and returned to the queue dejectedly.

None of the other ministers dared to object after seeing this. After all, objecting needs a good reason. Although the new tax system violates their interests, it is indeed a national policy that is beneficial to the country in a righteous sense. They really have no reason to object. So I can only choose to remain silent.

Li Shimin was very happy, glanced at the officials, and said slowly: "It seems that you have no objection to the implementation of the new tax system. If so, then starting tomorrow, the new tax system will be implemented in all states and counties of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Hao's third book of memorabilia also passed the test easily, and the officials suddenly felt a little chilly. They began to realize that Li Hao is no longer something they can deal with. No wonder Changsun Wuji has remained silent today. They guessed, Maybe even Changsun Wuji started to fear Li Hao, if that is true, what a terrible thing, now Li Hao is really calling the wind and rain in the court, like the sun in the sky, the court of the Tang Dynasty is about to change.

 Happy Christmas Eve, you have to eat apples on Christmas Eve, friends, you can give an apple on Christmas Eve to win the hearts of the girls you like, if they are willing to eat your apples, it means that they accept you, and then you invite them to eat bananas... …
