Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 310
In Datang, people in their 20s are generally fathers.

But Qin Xiedao, an older young man, has never been married.

This made many people worry.

So when Li Shimin's imperial decree came down, Qin Qiong and Zhang were the happiest.

Of course, Yang Yan, the hostess, is no exception.

Originally, she wondered if she was going to be alone for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect such a turning point.

After Qin Xiedao accepted Li Shimin's kindness, he naturally showed his extraordinaryness.

After knowing that Empress Changsun was in poor health, he personally found Sun Simiao and went with him to Datang Palace to treat Empress Changsun.

Combined with the dietary and drug treatments for asthma in later generations, although Empress Changsun's condition has not been completely cured, it has improved greatly.

At least judging from the current situation, there is no problem at all in living a few more years.

And taking advantage of the opportunity of communicating with Sun Simiao, Qin Xiedao also threw out many medical theories of later generations, and directly tricked Sun Simiao, an old fairy, into the Red Star Academy School of Medicine as the dean.

In this way, the strength of the medical school will naturally skyrocket.

In just a few years or ten years, the School of Medicine of Red Star Academy became the most authoritative existence in the medical circle of Datang.

Even the Tai Medical Department is not enough to read.

"Husband, Ying'er has been with you for so many years, and I think she is full of only you, why don't you accept her?"

In the Qin residence, Yang Yan, who had just married, was tricked.

This is definitely a fertile physique.

In order to prevent Qin Xiedao from returning to being single again during this period of time, Yang Yan very enlightenedly asked Qin Xiedao to take a concubine.

In this era, it is normal for a character like Qin Xiedao to take concubines, but it is strange not to take concubines.

Besides, Yang Yan has always wanted Qin Xiedao to accept Qingxia as a dowry maid.

But Yinger hasn't accepted it yet, so she is naturally embarrassed to mention this.

"It's okay, I think Ying'er gets along quite happily with you."

Qin Xiedao did not push back and forth against his will.

Of course, once this concubine's head is opened, it will definitely not be able to stop.

Soon Qin Xiedao had another concubine.

And in the next two years, the Qin family will naturally add children one after another.

This made everyone in the house very happy.

……

"Your Majesty, the imperial court's tax revenue this year has officially reached [-] million yuan!"

When the time came to the end of the 11th year of Zhenguan, Dai Zhou reported a very good news to Li Shimin.

The development of Datang in recent years can be described as changing with each passing day.

The construction of various workshops not only provided many job opportunities for the people, but also provided a lot of taxes for the court.

The commercial tax has long surpassed the agricultural tax and has become the largest source of income for the Ministry of Households.

"Ai Qing, if starting from next year, some people's taxes are cut in half, will there be any problems with the imperial court's expenditure?"

At this moment, Li Shimin thought of the proposal that Qin Xiedao had proposed to him to reduce or even cancel the agricultural tax.

"Although there will be some impact, it can be completely overcome. At this rate, next year's tax revenue can still reach a [-]% increase, which is enough to cover the cut agricultural tax."

Although Dai Zhou had a headache and lost some sources of tax revenue, he knew better than anyone else the significance of reducing taxes for farmers.

Although Datang has developed rapidly for so many years, it has begun to march towards industrialization.

But in essence, it is still an agricultural society.

[-]% to [-]% of the population of the entire Tang Dynasty is actually farmers.

"Okay! If that's the case, then the first decree I issued in the 13th year of Zhenguan was to lower the agricultural tax, and let the common people truly experience the benefits brought by the development of the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, in fact, the common people have been enjoying the benefits brought by the development of the Tang Dynasty.

In recent years, the price of food has been falling, and the price of cotton cloth is even lower than that of linen, and it will soon replace linen as the main cloth used by the common people.

And the people who had spare money in their hands also started to rebuild their houses one after another. It can be said that the basic necessities of life have undergone tremendous changes.

The most important thing is that as the Tang Dynasty becomes more and more powerful, it will be very attractive to the surrounding foreign countries.

In today's Chang'an City, at least half of the families are women who bought Silla maidservants or Japanese slaves and other foreign countries.

These people are either concubines or slaves, and they have contributed to the increase in the population of our Tang Dynasty, and they have also made the common people truly feel the benefits of being in the Tang Dynasty. "

Dai Zhou couldn't help moving his fingers when he thought of his [-]-year-old Silla maidservant.

No way, at this age, I can only move my fingers.

……

At the beginning of the 12th year of Zhenguan, several major events happened.

First, Li Shimin ordered the reduction of agricultural taxes, which aroused applause from countless people.

However, immediately after Gao Shilian and others revised the "Clan Records" into a book, Li Shimin ordered that the royal family be the head.

This seemingly small matter caused a huge disturbance.

Several people from aristocratic families launched various methods to incite public opinion and try to put pressure on the royal family.

However, the Boling Cui family who danced the most at this time was during a long-distance training exercise at the Datang Military Academy. Thousands of members of the entire family were collectively arrested.

These aristocratic families don't move you when they don't move you.

When you really want to move you, you can naturally find many reasons to move you.

Don't even make up excuses, just investigate something as it is.

The Boling Cui family did many things that violated the "Laws of the Tang Dynasty".

With the efforts of the Intelligence Department of Datang Military Academy, there is simply nowhere to hide.

So taking this opportunity, Li Chengqian's Naboling Cui family, who was sharpening his sword, performed the operation.

"Master, these aristocratic families really bully the weak and fear the strong. I originally thought that after taking down the Boling Cui family, it would cause huge fluctuations, and I even prepared to suppress some rebellions by force.

As a result, there was no movement at all. "

Li Chengqian stood in front of Qin Xiedao vigorously.

After staying in the military academy for several years, his whole temperament has changed a lot.

"We just arrested the Boling Cui family and exiled them to the newly discovered Australia. We didn't kill them at will, and we didn't do anything to insult women.

This should be the reason why many people can bear it.

However, Gao Ming, you can't be careless, the influence of the aristocratic family is not so easy to weaken.

In the future, take advantage of various opportunities to relegate these aristocratic families overseas as much as possible, let them educate the barbarians, and use a little leftover heat. "

With the development of maritime trade, overseas exploration has become more and more popular.

In addition to the discoveries in North and South America, the discovery in Australia in recent years can be regarded as a particularly big change.
