Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

After explaining Xingben, Li Shimin turned to Hongyu and said,

"Hongyu, you were originally the eighth-rank female official in charge of the Lizheng Palace, and now you are given a national surname. Logically speaking, you should not be like a wife, but I value Xiao Zhang's shopkeeper very much, and his marriage should not be underestimated." .”

"But don't worry, your status is different from that of an ordinary woman. Even if a regular wife comes in, you and your child, I and the Queen will assure you, will be as if you were married!"

After hearing this, Hongyu didn't even care that she was in the carriage, so she quickly got up to thank her.

She is really happy at the moment, because Li Shimin's guarantee is too important to her.

Although she was already a female official with an eighth-rank position before, this rank is actually worthless when she leaves the palace. There used to be a female official with a higher rank than her. A concubine?

But with the guarantee of the current sage and the queen, it will be different.

She never worried that she would have a bad life in the future. After all, she also found out after contacting Zhang Nuo today that Zhang Nuo is not a harsh person.

But she has to think about her future children!

The children born in the concubine's room were originally very low status. No matter how many titles the family had, they could not inherit the title and could only share some money.

It's just that the mistress is not a narrow-minded one.

But with Li Shimin's guarantee, it means that her future children can also inherit the title.

As for what to do when the mistress has a child in the future?

That's not easy, my husband is so capable, wouldn't he earn an extra title if he made two more contributions?

Thinking of her beautiful life in the future, Hongyu, who has always been cautious in her words and deeds, laughed unconsciously.

Empress Changsun looked at the little girl she had been with her all the time, who was also a maid and younger sister, who was now excited about her marriage, and she also felt very happy.

At this moment, Hongyu has been given the surname Li, and has become His Majesty's righteous sister, so she is even more her younger sister.

Empress Changsun took Hongyu's hand and said with a smile,

"Hongyu, when you and I meet in the future, you will have to call me sister-in-law. Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang is a man of great talent. You have entered Zhang's mansion, and you should get along well. In the future, the husband and wife will hold each other's eyebrows and love each other. My kindness!"

Hongyu heard Empress Changsun's confession, and quickly nodded in agreement.

She knew that this was not just an order, it was actually a reminder to her.

Not long after, the carriage entered the palace, and Li Shimin hurriedly changed into a dragon robe and walked towards the Liangyi Hall.

He couldn't wait to announce the results of today's "wonderful man for a clever plan" in front of the officials.

Hearing the emperor's urgent call, several important ministers naturally did not dare to delay, and rushed to the palace. Almost not long after Li Shimin sat down, several important officials arrived outside the palace gate together.

The servant had already received Li Shimin's signal, so he led several important officials into the palace without any notification.

As soon as several important officials sat down after saluting, Li Shimin hurriedly said,

"Several loves, I have already thought of a suitable solution for the emptiness of the national treasury, and now I am urgently summoning you to discuss this matter."

Several of Li Shimin's confidantes looked at each other in blank dismay, they couldn't say anything, but they began to think about it in their hearts. There was nothing they could do this morning at the court, but now?

Li Shimin is not the kind and smiling face in Zhang Nuo's tavern at the moment, he is a qualified emperor at this time.

"Regarding the emptiness of the national treasury, I plan to levy a business tax!"

"Once the commercial tax is opened, the national treasury will have an extra income. At the same time, farmers don't have to worry about their own livelihood. After the prosperity of commerce and trade, farmers can also enter the workshop to earn some money to subsidize their families during the slack period."

Changsun Wuji nodded. That's true. Commercial taxes are naturally collected from those merchants. As long as a reasonable tax rate is set, the national treasury will definitely have a big income in the future.

Li Shimin's words continued,

"At the same time, no one in the world is exempt from this business tax. No matter whether you are a commoner or a relative of the emperor, you must pay taxes according to the regulations. Auxiliary machine, you are not only the Duke of Zhao Guo in my Tang Dynasty, but also a relative of the state. You have to lead by example. !"

Changsun Wuji was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly. It seems that his family's iron business has not been hidden from His Majesty, and he is going to use himself to make an example of others.

But if he could say that, could he be contradicting Li Shimin face to face?Isn't that courting death?

If the business tax is simply collected, then the business can be done clearly, and there is no need to bear other people's names, and it is enough to play the banner of the eldest grandson's family in an upright manner.

At that time, maybe the business will increase, and the money can be earned back.

In the blink of an eye, Changsun Wuji circled seven or eight times in his heart, but nodded in agreement calmly on his face.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the auxiliary machine is valued by His Majesty, and I will do my best to serve His Majesty."

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction. He didn't need a heavy hammer to play the drum. With Changsun Wuji taking the lead, it would be easy to implement this policy.

"You can discuss this matter with Dai Zhou in detail afterwards, and come up with a charter as soon as possible. You should not hurt the fundamentals, but you must think carefully, so that the Ministry of Finance cannot be stretched, and you can be happy for nothing."

Is this demanding?Of course it is high!

This is tantamount to saying that the emperor asked a question, you guys discuss it with me, and then submit a satisfactory answer sheet.

But in fact, this is how Li Shimin communicates with his courtiers on a daily basis. I have already pointed out the direction for you, and if you still won’t leave, what do you need?

After explaining the business tax, Li Shimin began to show off.

"One more thing, it's also about increasing income, but it has nothing to do with the national treasury, it's only about my internal money. I could have decided on my own, but I see that you are quite troubled by the money issue recently, so I'll tell you all about it. Listen, it's time to relieve boredom."

Several important ministers were stunned again, what do you mean?

Dare to feel that His Majesty is not in a hurry on the business tax issue, so there are other ways to make money?And to make money for domestic funds?

Especially Du Ruhui, he knew that His Majesty had just given five thousand guan to the Ministry of War, and another five thousand guan to Zhang's treasurer, so it should be empty!
