In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 251 The first fire of the new official's appointment
At this time, Li Ke seized the opportunity to stand up and said: "Uncle, you don't understand anything, how did you shoot as a right servant? Acting Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty let him be the Minister of Rites?
Why did he become a right servant again?This person is incompetent, and he doesn't understand anything you ask him. If you let him shoot as a right servant, isn't this detrimental to the country and the people? "

Hehe, Li Ke didn't mean to find trouble.But this person is the eldest grandson Wuji, a natural enemy who must be suppressed.

The most important thing is that, as a minister, he really doesn't want to use him.

As soon as Li Ke said this, no one in the court dared to speak.

There is no way, the emperor is not here, and Li Ke's minister is similar to the emperor.

The most important thing is that their patriarchs are all in their hands!What's more important is that His Majesty the deputy is also in the same group as this guy.

At a time like this, who would dare to come out and sing the opposite?

Changsun Wuji was so angry!
He held back his anger and said, "His Royal Highness, for no reason, why do you want to attack personally?"

Li Ke said: "Did I attack you personally? Your majesty asked you just now, and you said that you didn't know. It's normal for me to be worried that you are such an idiot working under my hands?"

"you……"

Changsun Wuji almost ran out of breath and bled.

Damn me, when will I become a fool.

"His Royal Highness, this is a problem that has not been solved since the establishment of the dynasty. I can't solve it for the time being. Is this normal?"

Li Ke said speechlessly: "I've never seen anyone who shirks responsibility as confidently as you do.

Before today, there was no Shang Shuling, your eldest grandson Wuji was already the head of civil servants, and you couldn't solve it, who would you ask to solve it?

Without such ability, you occupy the latrine and don't shit, what do you want to do? "

"you……"

Changsun Wuji was rendered speechless by what he said, and was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but there was nothing he could do.

Li Chengqian, who was above the high position, quickly said: "Okay, third brother, let's talk about business!"

Li Ke bowed his hands to Li Chengqian and said: "Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is business. Since I have become the minister, I will not allow such a foolish official under my command.

In the future, he won’t say he doesn’t understand anything I ask him to do, or he will pretend to understand if he doesn’t understand, and he won’t do the real thing. How do you want me to start my work? "

Li Chengqian said very speechlessly: "Third brother, uncle is not as bad as you said, is he?"

Yes, after Li Shimin left, Changsun Wuji was deliberately brought up by Li Chengqian to help him.

No way, Changsun Wuji is his own uncle and has always supported him. If he doesn't mention him, who will he mention?

Li Ke said: "Your Majesty, you saw it just now. You asked him if he really had the ability to be the Right Servant. Now I formally request to remove him and transfer Wei Zheng to be the Right Servant. "

"This……"

Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed.He just raised people up for two months, and then removed them?

But Li Ke was the minister and had the right to remove his officials.It is a bit troublesome to remove the left and right servants, so we need to discuss it with the emperor.After all, he is still the prime minister, so he cannot withdraw at will.

If those ministers or officials below, whoever they want to use, that's just a matter of Li Ke's words.

As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office.They discussed with you the first fire, why don't you let them burn it?
At this moment, Li Chengqian was quite embarrassed.

Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you are Shang Shuling, you don't deal with me in the first place, if you want to get rid of me, I have nothing to say.

But, please explain to me clearly, why am I such an idiot?As for the problem just now, who can solve it? "

Li Ke tit-for-tat said: "It doesn't matter who can't solve it, but as the prime minister and the head of the civil service, you must be able to solve it. Otherwise, what use are you?"

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "Okay, now you are Shang Shuling, you are the head of civil servants. Tell me how to solve this problem? If you can solve this problem, I will admit that I am an idiot, and I will resign immediately. That's fine. ?”

Li Ke smiled: "Uncle, you said this, I didn't force you!"

"Yes, what my eldest grandson Wuji said, if you can solve this problem, my eldest grandson Wuji will admit that he is an idiot, and I have no face to stand on top of this court, is it okay?"

Yes, Changsun Wuji was already overwhelmed by anger, and became a little angry from embarrassment.

Li Ke picked his ears: "Okay, since you said so, then if I don't show my ability, I guess everyone will not accept me as the head of the civil service. Oh, by the way, what was the question just now?"

All the onlookers fell to the ground with a bang.I thought you were confident, but it turns out that you don't even know what the problem is?

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "The problem of population is that the population is so large every year, and the tax cannot be collected. What do you think should be done?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ke said speechlessly, "That's it?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. Tell me, how to solve it?"

Li Ke said: "Isn't this a very simple question? What kind of poll tax do you charge? Wouldn't it be fine if you changed it to a land tax? It is stipulated how much tax to pay per mu of land, and what kind of people are they hiding for?"

Ga.

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, one counts as one, including Li Chengqian, all stared wide-eyed.

Is it that simple to solve?
This seems to be possible.

People you can hide, you hide one for me to see?
Moreover, it is reasonable to pay as much tax as you have land.

And those who don't have land don't have to pay taxes, and it can relieve their pressure.

They used to hide here and there because they were afraid of being caught and having to pay taxes.

Now there is no poll tax, they don't have land, what a fart.Ever since, they no longer have to hide here and there.

They don't hide anymore, and they can find out how many people there are, and get real and real data.

Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, immediately ran out and flattered him: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is a great talent, a great talent! I think this proposal is a good one."

The happiest person who can solve this problem is Dai Zhou.In the future, it will not be so difficult for him to go to the census again.

Other officials also stood up and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is a great talent, and I feel inferior to the officials."

Although there are suspicions of flattering, but among them, there are many people who really admire them.

The matter that has troubled me for so many years can be solved in one sentence. It is really enlightening.

Poll tax, poll tax, they can't always turn this corner.Why do you have to collect a poll tax?What a land tax!
Next, Li Keyu was not surprised and said endlessly: "From today, we will not only collect land taxes, but also collect taxes in stages."

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up and he asked, "What is a stepped tax?"

Li Ke said: "It's very simple. In order to make better use of our land and cultivate it more fully. I have decided that from now on, each person in Datang will have six acres of land. If it exceeds six acres, tax The money is doubled. If it exceeds 6 mu, it will be doubled."
