Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

Gu Xiaomao's dream is so simple, so simple that Li Zexuan only needs to move his lips to help him realize it immediately; but at the same time, his dream is so difficult that even ordinary people can't reach it even if they are poor. A small goal in his dream~!

"Little Mao, I have a long errand here, the less you want to do it~?"

Li Zexuan did not directly give Gu Xiaomao a large sum of money to directly realize his dream, nor did he remain indifferent and let him realize his dream. As the saying goes, teaching people to fish is worse than teaching people to fish. Li Zexuan helped Gu Xiaomao choose a successful one. shortcut.

Gu Xiaomao was startled, and then said with excitement: "My boss, you said~! I am definitely willing to do it~!"

Li Zexuan couldn't help but smiled: "You promised so decisively, you are not afraid that I am asking you to do murder and arson~?"

Gu Xiaomao grinned and said: "Hey~! Look at the boss, what you said, how can a kind-hearted person like you let me do that murder and arson~?"

Li Zexuan laughed and said, "Hehe~! In that case, let me tell you about this errand~! After Yanhuang Academy, there will be more and more students, Xiao Mao, you can open a small shop in the Academy, ah, no, yes. Open a shop selling snacks, and the monthly surplus will definitely be enough for you to realize your dreams~!"

…………………………

Above the court, the early court is now in full swing.

"Your Majesty, the autumn harvest is over. According to the reports from the counties near Chang'an City, this year's harvest is not good~! The harvest in most places in Chengdu has decreased by about 20%, and the harvest in some places has even decreased compared to last year. It is 30 to 40%. As a result, after the people have finished paying the food, the remaining food in their hands may not be able to support the coming year~!"

Fang Xuanling stood in front of the team and reported to Li Er.

As soon as his voice fell, there was a "buzz" whispering in the court hall. In this age of relying on the sky for food, food is the lifeblood of a country. This is a fragile and sensitive nerve. No one will ignore it. .

Sitting at the top of Li Er, he couldn't help his heart sinking when he heard the words. At the same time, he couldn't help thinking of Li Zexuan's locust plague language again in his mind~!

With the reduction in food production and the locust plague coming to the world, it is difficult for Li Er to imagine how terribly devastated it would be if Datang did not prepare in advance~!

"Then order the states and counties to exempt the people from 20% of taxes~!"

After a moment of silence, Li Er commanded in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, don't do it~!"

An old man who was nearly half a hundred years old quickly stepped forward after hearing the words and retorted: "Although your majesty's move can ease the pain of the people, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst~! If all localities implement the will of your majesty, it will definitely lead to the officials of all states and counties. The warehouse is dissatisfied with the requisition of grain. In the event of a famine and natural disaster, the state governments will face a situation where there is no grain available and can only wait for the court to rescue~!"

The speaker is Xiao Yu~!

"Your Majesty, the veteran also thinks this is inappropriate~!"

As soon as Xiao Yu's voice fell, Wei Zheng also stepped forward and said, "I am sorry to say that your majesty's move can only solve the problems of a small number of people. Most of the rest of the people rely on the rich and powerful. Your Majesty will reduce taxes here. Can't feel the favor~!"

Obviously, Wei Zheng Lao Penzi has long been aware of some loopholes and shortcomings in the equalization of land in the Tang Dynasty, but he was unable to create a more complete and reasonable land system.

"The minister agrees~!"

"The old minister also seconded~!"

In a short while, two or three ministers will come forward to agree.

Li Er frowned and said, "This is not to drink poison to quench thirst, but to weigh it~! The princes may have forgotten, counting the days, within a month, the fleet that went south should return with full load. With the food brought back by the fleet, there will be no more food shortage in Datang~!"

The ministers were shocked, they really forgot about this~!

"But Your Majesty..."

Fang Xuanling thought for a while. After all, she felt that relying on a fleet of unknown harvests was unreliable. He opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but Li Er waved his hand and interrupted:

"Fang Aiqing doesn't need to say much, my intention has been decided. Instead of expropriating more grain and grass, causing famine in various places, and redistributing grain from the court, it is better to keep the benefits for the people, and the toss of the province will cause a lot of waste~!"

In this way, Li Er hit the final word, this year all states and counties will levy taxes by 20%. The news spread, and the whole country is happy.

…………………

"Oh~? Twenty percent tax reduction~? What does your Majesty think~?"

Li Zexuan, who was in Yanhuang Academy, received the news that afternoon. Like Fang Xuanling, he also felt that Li Er’s move was nothing more than drinking poison to quench his thirst~!

The land tax system has existed in China for more than two thousand years. It was not abolished until more than 50 years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. This shows how deeply the ruling group relied on land taxation. With the current economic level of Datang, it reduced and exempted two things at once. Taxes on the land, this is cutting meat and playing with fire~!

What is the confidence of Li Er to dare to play like this~?

"This...Ma can't guess your Majesty's intentions~! But this move can be regarded as alleviating the urgent needs of the people~www.ltnovel.com~ It is a test for the disaster-bearing ability of the various states and capitals~!"

Ma Zhou sat opposite Li Zexuan, and said in thought.

"Forget it, I don't want to~! By the way, Brother Ma, how is the expansion of the workshop~?"

After thinking for a while, Li Zexuan didn't think of anything famous (after all, this cargo also forgot about the previous large fleet of ships going south), he suddenly thought of the new site of the workshop, so he asked.

In order to expand the scale, Li Zexuan originally planned to move the workshop to Meicun, but because of the shortage of funds in the early stage of the construction of the academy, Li Zexuan asked Fu Bo to suspend the plan. Later, the introduction of the fairy mirror and the glassware made Li Zexuan. Earning a lot of money, the financial crisis was quickly alleviated, and the workshop expansion and relocation plan was restarted. Ma Zhou and Fu Bo have been busy working on this matter in the past few months.

"Lord, all the venues for the new workshop have been arranged. They are built by the river according to your wishes~! Now the inside is basically set up, and production can start anytime~!"

Ma Zhou replied with a smile.

"Hmm~!"

Li Zexuan nodded and felt a little peace of mind. He has been too busy these months, and he must not be able to do everything. Fortunately, these people around him can often be alone.

"In that case, Brother Ma will be tired from now on. You have to take care of both the "Datang Daily" and the academy affairs~!"

Li Zexuan said with emotion.

Ma Zhou smiled helplessly: "Lord, Ma told you before~! I'm not a husband, but you..."

………………………

Fifth more~!
