Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

At this time, the court members of the Tai Chi Palace were arguing, and Li Shimin looked at them with an incomparable headache.

Indeed, Li Shimin also understands those opponents very well. After all, part of the local government's taxes must be turned over to the imperial court, and the revision of taxes and fees in Youzhou will directly affect the income of the imperial court.

In other words, the imperial court will receive less money, which is undoubtedly intolerable for the imperial court, which is always in financial crisis!

And since Youzhou's total tax payments came out last month, everyone's jaws have been shocked, and there is no doubt that he has become one of the best fat fish in the Tang Dynasty. Who wouldn't be jealous?

Now that King Li You of Chu has cut taxes and fees by himself, is this still worth it? !

"Your Majesty, please tell me!"

The opposition was still far more powerful than the supporters, reporting to Li Shimin: "Now the king of Chu, Li You, has eliminated the distinction between local businessmen and non-local businessmen. What does this make the locals in Youzhou think? And let the rest maintain this rule. What do the states think?"

You must know that you are afraid of comparison in everything. Originally, a hidden rule that all states implement the same, once one of them changes, it will be extremely conspicuous.

What's more, Youzhou has been inexplicably soaring before, and it has already attracted attention!

".々Yeah! This is a regulation that has been implemented many years ago. King Li You of Chu is contempt for the ancestral system!"

Li Shimin sighed when he heard this. Although there were many courtiers who opposed it, Li Shimin did not want to punish Li You at all.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin has only just realized that Li You is far away from Chang'an, but the weight in his heart has not changed at all, and it has even become heavier!

The estrangement and forgetfulness that should have appeared did not exist, but because of the various new things and surprising news that came from Youzhou from time to time, without exception, they all carried the imprint of Li You, which made Li Shimin more and more optimistic about his five. son!

"The really related ministers of the household have not spoken, why are you so anxious?"

So Li Shimin said a few words and directly pushed everyone back.

When everyone was speechless, Li Shimin looked at Tang Jian with satisfaction: "Tang Aiqing has always been silent, I don't know what to think, you can come together."

Tang Jian was silent for a while with a solemn expression, but it was always difficult to speak.

It's not that he didn't speak, but he didn't know what to say!

Logically speaking, this is equivalent to the fact that the Ministry of Household will charge a lot less money, and the Tang treasury will be a little more empty, so Tang Jian must be furious.But if these actions were carried out by Li You, then Tang Jian would not dare to judge easily!

There is no other reason, just because the person who does these things is Li You!It's that business genius, King Li You of Chu!

After experiencing a series of events in Chang'an in the past and a series of breathtaking changes in Youzhou, Tang Jian deeply believed that there must be some deep meaning behind Li You's move!

Chapter 282: No. [-] in the country!

After all, it is impossible for a business genius like Li You to do some loss-making business. All the strange things now are probably just because he has not seen it yet.

Therefore, Tang Jian did not dare to comment rashly, lest he would be slapped in the face when he got it.

However, Li Shimin was not going to let him go. Under Li Shimin's scrutiny, Tang Jian finally had to speak.

"Go back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu acts inscrutable, and this minister does not dare to make judgments."

When Tang Jian said this, the audience was in an uproar!

You must know that the Ministry of Household is specialized in managing money and the economy, but Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Household, dare not even comment on Li You's actions?

This time, the momentum of the opposition is even weaker, and they have nothing to say, so they can only snort in unison.

"Hmph, in short, the facts will prove everything, Chu King Li You is self-destructing!"

Li Shimin frowned in disbelief, and he heard them continue: "Didn't the total amount of taxes and fees in Youzhou last month shocked the audience? According to Yichen, it was just a flash in the pan."

"Once you are so tossed by Li 643 You, King of Chu, then this month's Youzhou will continue to maintain such a high total tax amount, and it will be reluctant not to rank at the end of each state! Anyway, this month's tax report It's coming out soon, let's wait and see!"

For this, the opposition can be said to be full of confidence.

You must know that what Li You lowered is the taxes and fees that directly affect the total amount of taxes. How can there be a reason why the total amount of taxes will not fall?

At this time, Tang Jian suddenly said: "This lord is right. In fact, this month's tax report is about to be released, and now it is in the stage of proofreading. Why don't I have someone submit it immediately?"

At any rate, Li You has helped the court several times at a critical moment, and solved many financial crises for the court. Although he did not directly help Tang Jian, Tang Jian, as the minister of the household, was undoubtedly one of the biggest beneficiaries, and naturally he also inherited Li. Bless this love.

And Tang Jian is not a heartless person. Now is the best time to repay Li You, so when will he wait now?

"Okay! Then you can just bring it up!"

The ministers of the opposition were still clamoring, looking at Li Shimin together with Tang Jian, waiting for Li Shimin's decision.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment when he heard the words. Although the current tax report is still in the proofreading stage, Li Shimin has always known that the reports submitted to him, and the statistical people are all conscientious and careful in making them, and generally speaking, there is no possibility of error.

The so-called proofreading stage is nothing more than adding a layer of insurance, so it is completely straightforward now.

"That's fine, let someone present it right away."

After receiving Li Shimin's order, Tang Jian quickly went to ask the subordinates of the Ministry of Household to get the tax report, and at the same time, a trace of anxiety arose in his heart.

"His Royal Highness King Chu, you must do your best...!"

To be honest, just like last time, Tang Jian himself didn't read the contents of this month's tax report. After all, he was so busy, and such chores were basically left to his subordinates to do.

In other words, Tang Jian's confidence is all due to his trust in Li You's ability!

If Youzhou's taxes really drop by then, then Tang Jian's old face on the court will not be guaranteed. Therefore, Tang Jian himself is quite nervous. He does not ask for the total tax to rise, at least he can guarantee that it will not fall. what!

Soon, the scrolls of the tax report were all in Tang Jian's hands, and Tang Jian hurriedly read it.

Soon, the scrolls of the tax report were all in Tang Jian's hands, and Tang Jian hurriedly read it.

"Youzhou, Youzhou, Youzhou..."
