The next day, the peace talks went on as promised, and Li Chengqian led this group of officials to negotiate with the Turkic side.Sure enough, as Yang Qian said last night, the Turkic side soon put forward the proposal of jointly maintaining the Silk Road.The officials on Datang's side were suddenly stunned.After all, this was the first time they encountered something like this.

Fortunately, this is only the first day of the meeting, and there is still plenty of time.Therefore, there is no need to rush into a decision.Everything can be considered slowly, or wait for the instructions above.

However, this issue was finally handed over to Li Chengqian.Because everyone was uncertain, so they didn't dare to speak more.Otherwise, in the future, if the above things really happen, they can't bear it with their small arms and legs.At first, these officials had some opinions on sending Li Chengqian, a young and vigorous prince, to lead the peace talks, but now they are rejoicing.

Anyway, when the time comes, if the above problems really happen, won't everyone be able to stand up to them.

In fact, Li Chengqian also knows that this negotiation is related to the relationship between the two countries and has a lot to do with it.Therefore, these days, he has been trying to supplement the knowledge in this area, so as not to make any mistakes.However, this kind of matter proposed by the other party also made him helpless.

Others think that when encountering difficulties, find a taller person to stand up to them. Of course, Li Chengqian is also prepared.Because, during the negotiation, Li Feng was also there.Li Chengqian was convinced of one sentence, that is, to find the fourth uncle if there is something, it must be true.Of course, Li Feng already knew about this matter.

Now, he also understood a little bit, why Yang Qian specifically asked him to communicate this matter in advance.From the reactions of these officials, he couldn't see that it would not be an easy matter if he wanted to pass this matter as soon as possible.After all, people always have many concerns about new things.

Yang Qian came to him because she undoubtedly wanted him to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

After returning from Baihualou last night.In fact, Li Feng has been thinking about this issue.Now, Li Chengqian came to him to pay attention, but he was not in a hurry.Instead, he went to the palace with Li Chengqian to face the saint.After all, such a matter can only be determined by Li Shimin's decision.

Therefore, instead of wasting words to explain to Li Chengqian.It's better to enter the palace, in front of Li Shimin.Wouldn't it be easy to speak out your thoughts together.

As for why he didn't enter the palace until now, of course Li Feng didn't want people to know, he already knew what the Turks meant, so as to avoid unnecessary suspicion and trouble.

"How are the peace talks going?"

As soon as they met, Li Shimin immediately began to ask. Obviously, he also attaches great importance to this matter.besides.He was also a little worried that Li Chengqian was young and energetic and did something wrong.You must know that when Li Chengqian was entrusted with this errand, some people still had objections.

But fortunately, seeing Li Feng coming along with him gave him a lot of peace of mind.

"My father, the negotiations with the Turkic side are going well. The Turkic people seem to be very sincere. Many things did not cause too many disputes, and passed smoothly. However, the Turkic side proposed a For the new proposal, my ministers and all the adults are still undecided, so I am here to ask my father for instructions."

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Li Chengqian began to reply honestly.

"Oh, what is it, tell me."

Li Shimin did not expect that Li Chengqian's answer was so easy.Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this.This kind of peace talks is not unheard of by Datang.On the contrary, it has been experienced many times.Every time, it's not always about getting red-faced.

But today is only the first day. Hearing what Li Chengqian said, it went so smoothly, which surprised him a bit.However, after glancing at Li Feng and seeing that he didn't respond, he asked Li Chengqian.

Hearing Li Shimin's inquiry, Li Chengqian, of course, told Li Shimin the Turkic proposal in detail. After speaking, he stood quietly aside, waiting for Li Shimin's instructions.However, after listening to Li Shimin, he also fell into deep thought.

"Fourth brother, what do you think about this matter?"

After a while, Li Shimin finally spoke.However, he didn't tell Li Chengqian, but instead asked Li Feng.

"Things are a good thing"

It seemed that he knew that Li Shimin would ask this question a long time ago, so Li Feng spoke slowly without raising his head.

"Oh, tell me, fourth brother, what a good way to do this."

Seeing Li Feng's confident look, Li Shimin became even more interested, and asked again.Li Feng was a little dissatisfied and gave Li Shimin a blank look. He didn't believe that Li Shimin didn't know what the unimpeded Silk Road meant to Datang.

"What's the benefit, you, the emperor, don't know. I won't say more about the extra stuff. Let me just talk about something else."

Obviously, Li Feng didn't give Li Shimin face and didn't answer his question.Really treat him as a child, answer whatever you ask, he is not so stupid.

"Oh, please tell me, fourth brother, I really want to hear your opinion."

For Li Feng's lack of face, Li Shimin didn't mean to be angry at all, on the contrary, he became even happier.If Li Feng answered step by step, it would be nothing more than teaching the prince instead of him.Now, hearing what Li Feng said, it means that he thought of something else.

Li Shimin has already had a deep understanding of Li Feng's whimsical thoughts.He knew that Li Feng was often able to put forward many very novel and extremely interesting viewpoints.And it is these things that often make very difficult problems very simple.

"First of all, I would like to introduce a new vocabulary, that is tariffs. Let me explain this. Simply put, it is to collect taxes on goods entering and leaving the country. This is a new type of taxation."

"In the past, there was no, but now there is. The reason is very simple. The country provides a better business environment for businessmen, ensures the smooth and safe trade roads, and charges a certain fee. This is very reasonable and understandable. of."

"I think that as long as the service is in place and a comfortable and safe business environment is provided to those businessmen, they are still very willing to pay the money. After all, in this way, although they earn a small sum of money, but among them The risk is also greatly reduced."

"In this way, the country can have one more way to make money and one more income. This is not a small amount of money. It will prevent you from crying poorly here all day long."

Sure enough, Li Feng was the first to propose tariffs.In order to avoid Li Shimin's questioning, he explained directly in one breath.

"Tariff, this statement is new, but I like it, haha. Fourth brother, you are right. Now there is a legitimate reason to collect this tax, which is reasonable. The most important thing is that as long as the tax is reasonable and can really ensure road Unimpeded, most of the businessmen will definitely agree. You know, in the past, businessmen were always worried when they went out. If they encounter thieves, they will often lose their money and even their lives.”

"To make less money and ensure the safety of personnel and goods, they will definitely support it. Good, good idea. However, when the time comes, the court must do a good job. people's tongue out"

Li Feng said it very bluntly, that is to use this as a reason to add a new tax.This really touched Li Shimin's heart, there is no way, he is poor.

However, there was no way to be poor in the past, and the new tax increase is not just an increase.Now, with such a good reason to come forward, it would be foolish not to catch it.More importantly, in this way, not only will it not cause public anger and resentment, but it will also get the support of the public, so why not do it.

"Hehe, don't be too happy too early, not everyone will support it. At least, those people who have been monopolizing this business in the past have to be anxious with you, believe it or not"

Seeing Li Shimin's excited face, Li Feng asked another question.That is, in this way, it will damage the interests of some people.

You know, there are some people who don't want to see this business road become peaceful.In that way, the risk is reduced, and driven by interests, many people will participate.At that time, the competition will become fierce.And, as a result, they also need to pay customs duties.

The addition of the two is simply a fatal blow to this group of people.

"Fourth brother, you mean... I understand. Indeed, there are some people who are not afraid of the chaos of the business roads. On the contrary, the more chaos the better for them, or they are responsible for a lot of chaos. Okay, great, Guang Because of this, I have to handle this matter no matter what. If they act obediently and follow the rules, then everything will be easy to talk about. If not, I still worry that I can't find a reason... Haha"

"Ganer, this matter is settled like this, and we will handle it according to this plan. As long as you can ensure that this matter can be completed, you don't have to pay too much attention to some small things, you can make up your own mind"

Hearing what Li Feng said, Li Shimin also reacted, and understood who Li Feng was referring to.However, this made Li Shimin even more happy.To him, this is not a bad thing, it is clearly a great good thing.On the contrary, it made him a little impatient.

"Wait, it's not right"

When Li Chengqian heard that Li Shimin agreed, he felt confident.However, just as he was about to lead the order to handle the matter, someone stopped him.

In this room, there are only three of them, and the one who can stop it with a voice is of course Li Feng. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
