How could Yu Chengjie not be in a hurry, how could the meaning of Great Tang Emperor be so easy to change, but he really couldn’t afford to lose, this time to go to Chang’an City to work for father Pi Luoge is his last chance, if Lost, then, his in mind in Pi Luoge is really a waste, so, it is more impossible to defeat Ge Luofeng and obtain the inheritance of the Kingdom of King of Nanzhou.

Anxiety, resentment, unwillingness, powerlessness, annoyance, countless emotions wrapped around Yu Chengjie’s heart, and Yu Chengjie’s heart was torn apart. He even wanted to find someone crazy to vent his huge suffocation Flex.

“Great Tang Emperor, will you really change your mind?”

Yu Chengjie looked uncomfortably towards a few subordinates.

“Second Prince rest assured that I will persuade spare no effort to persuade Right Chancellor and the others, no matter how high the chance of success, we will spare no effort.”

“Yes! Second Prince, don’t forget, there are too many Great Tang officials behind us, they all support Second Prince, we will not lose like this.”

The future of the followers has been tied to Yu Chengjie. For this reason, even if Yu Chengjie is a sludge that ca n’t support the wall, they will be assisted by spare no effort. As long as Yu Chengjie can inherit the Kingdom of Nanzhou throne, they still Fear of not having a glorious life?

Yu Chengjie’s nodded with a little peace of mind: “This matter is up to you guys, you can rest assured that as long as I Yu Chengjie can successfully inherit the throne of Kingdom of Nanzhou, everyone will be my Qingping officer of Kingdom of Nanzhou.”

“Thanks Second Prince.”

The public will get a promise, and they will be somewhat happy.

Of course, this is all wishful thinking of Yu Chengjie and the others. Great Tang officials understand that Yu Chengjie is weak and naturally willing to support him, but when it is related to the vital interests of Great Tang, it may not necessarily support Yu Chengjie.

When several of Yu Chengjie’s confidantes ran for Kingdom of Nanzhou to rebel against dominance, almost all the Great Tang officials they contacted were perfunctory. They both accepted Yu Chengjie’s gifts but did not give any promises. It’s just a symbolic saying that I will do my best. In fact, simply won’t really persuade Li Longji to accept the gift in vain.

In the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, Great Tang Emperor Li Longji looked at the discount sent by the Ministry of Revenue, and asked the Imperial Censor and Yang Shenjin, who was standing in the hall, to understand the income and expenditure of Taifu.

Yang Shenjin was the great grandson of former Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang. He was upright and talented. After the death of father Yang Chongli, he took over the post of father Taifu Qing, and he monitored the Imperial Censor to control the income and expenditure of Taifu.

It can be said that Yang Shenjin manages the entire capital of the capital. He knows all the materials and money in the capital, and through strict management systems and superb financial capabilities, he eliminates the waste and loss of property. Emperor Li Longji was quite satisfied, and assured Yang Shenjin to take care of Taifu.

Since then, although Yang Shenjin’s official position has been rising and successively served as Imperial Censor, the post of Taifu Qing has always been on his body. He is still the main official in charge of Taifu.

The reason why Li Longji suddenly cares about Taifu ’s property reserves is because Li An proposed that Pi Luoge should not be fully responsible for pacifying the rebellion of the clan, so as to prevent Cuandi from becoming the territory of the Kingdom of Nanzhou. We must send troops to the ground.

To send troops to war requires financial, human and material resources as a guarantee. Before ordering to send troops, Li Longji must understand the basic situation of the Great Tang National Treasury, so as to calculate how much strategic resources can be used and the maximum amount of troops sent.

But the situation in Taifu is really not very optimistic. The money stored does not support the Great Tang Imperial Court’s four-faceted external battle. In order to defend against the strong enemies in the west and north, the resource consumption of Great Tang has been very large, and it is almost close to balance. Point, if you open up a long battlefield in the south, Great Tang’s finances will tend to collapse.

Moreover, the financial potential of the Great Tang Imperial Court is gradually weakening, because with the large-scale annexation of land by the nobles, the “average land system” of the Great Tang Empire’s founding country was completely collapsed, and the consequence was a significant reduction in taxation. , And the gradual increase of harsh and miscellaneous taxes.

In order to maintain the basic operation of the Imperial Court and obtain sufficient financial resources, the Great Tang Imperial Court had to transfer the pressure to the ordinary old 100 surnames, resulting in increasing pressure on the survival of ordinary old 100 surnames, 100 surnames to Imperial Court Of satisfaction is gradually being lost.

Li Longji is aware of the shortcomings of the Great Tang ’s fiscal policy and financial difficulties, and he is also very anxious, but the interests of the noble class such as the landlord class are difficult to touch. After all, the great Tang ’s mountains and rivers rely on these nobles to To maintain and rule, once 10000 annoyed these nobles, it is difficult to guarantee that they would not revolt. It seems that there is no better way than to increase the burden on ordinary 100 people.

“Cuandi Hao rebelled against the Great Tang, I decided to send Armed Forces to counter the rebellion, but the Taifu government’s reserves seem to be inadequate. Get more money. “

Li Longji looked towards Yang Shenjin and passed the problem on to this financial expert.

Yang Shenjin is also an old man who has been in the officialdom for many years. He naturally understands Li Longji ’s urgent desire for a lot of money. However, he also has difficulties. He is only the Taifuqing, responsible for the Taifu ’s income and expenditure. The surname is subject to taxation and is not under his control.

What he can do is how to eliminate waste through high-efficiency management and prevent unclear accounts, which leads to corruption of the government ’s treasury money. He really has no good way to increase the government ’s treasury income. Regarding the drawbacks of taxation, he did not dare to suggest reforms at will, so as not to offend the aristocratic class in the whole world.

“Your Majesty, This Small Official is only responsible for the management of the income and expenses of Taifu. Impossible has turned out a lot of money and is incompetent. Please ask Your Majesty to forgive sins.”

Yang Shenjin had no choice but to tell the truth.

Li Longji knew that Yang Shenjin would answer this way, and called out, “I certainly know that Minister impossible has made money for me, but Minister is good at managing property, and I should be very familiar with my Great Tang’s tax system. Any good suggestions for increasing the source of tax revenue for Imperial Court. “

Yang Shenjin hearing this startled, the source of tax revenue is insufficient because a large number of fields have been occupied by the nobility, and the old 100 surnames of the land have become the noble tenant farmers and the private property of the noble class.

In the current tax system of “renting loyalty”, the tax is collected according to the number of people. No matter how much land you have, the tax is the same. Therefore, nobles with 10000 acres of good land only need to pay very little tax, and The tenant farmers who lost their land and turned to the nobility, because their status is already a servant of the nobility, of course impossible pay taxes, so that the old 100 people are still poor, the Imperial Court cannot receive taxes, and all the money is concentrated in the nobility class In hand.

This is a serious drawback. It has been doomed from the moment when the Great Tang Imperial Court acquiesced the nobles to acquire the land. Yang Shenjin understood this, and all the minded people also understood this, but no one dared to talk nonsense, In order not to offend the aristocratic class of the whole world, especially Yang Shenjin dare not talk nonsense, because his identity is too special, he is the Imperial Family of the former Sui Dynasty, once 10000 offends the nobles of this dynasty, there will be various unintended restorations The conspiracy struck him, and this was obviously unbearable for him.

Yang Shenjin’s forehead was sweating coldly, contemplation for a long time, trembling with fear said: “Your Majesty, the expansion of the hot spring palace is quite expensive. If you can temporarily stop the expansion, you can save a lot of expenses. , And then expand. “

Li Longji hearing this, the whole face immediately cooled down. The hot spring palace is the renowned Huaqing Palace. The name at this time is undoubtedly the hot spring palace. This is the place of Emperor Li Longji recreation and entertainment. The repair and expansion are also for Leisure is more comfortable, although it does cost a lot of money, but for Li Longji, these all are worth it.

As the Monarch of the entire Country, do n’t you even have the right to enjoy this? Regarding Yang Shenjin’s proposal to temporarily stop the expansion of the hot spring palace, his heart was involuntarily resentful. He believed that as a courtier, he should open source and reduce expenditure in other places, and should not focus on the personal life of the monarch. The monarch’s uncomfortable advice.

“It’s an utterly inadequate measure to expand the hot spring palace. I am afraid there is no better way for the Minister?”

Li Longji coldly said.

Yang Shenjin’s face was flushed, brace oneself said: “Your Majesty, in order to use Tibet on the army this year, an additional tax has been levied. If the tax is raised again, I am afraid that the life of the old 100 will not be over. “

“hmph ……”

Li Longji felt very angry and threw the paper in his hand violently on the table.

“Your Majesty, This Small Official is willing to donate a year’s salary to contribute to the Imperial Court.”

Seeing Li Longji get angry, Yang Shenjin quickly expressed his support for Li Longji’s use of troops against the squash, and hinted that the Minister of Imperial Court could each make a little money to finance his military needs.

Li Longji hearing this, gently nodded, he thinks this is a good idea. There are so many ministers in the Imperial Court, and each person pays a sum of money, which adds up to a huge sum of money. However, the operation of the Imperial Court depends on these ministers. Let them willingly contribute to the country, I am afraid that these ministers will not be happy, and if in the name of borrowing, temporarily borrowing money from these ministers, this is a good idea.

“I don’t need you to donate a year’s salary, you only need to lend to Imperial Court. In addition, I plan to borrow from the people in the name of Imperial Court, wait for the treasury to fill up, and then gradually repay the money. What does Minister think? “

Li Longji thought of a good idea and was very excited.

Yang Shenjin said busyly: “Your Majesty, this is indeed a good idea. As long as Your Majesty proposes to borrow money, the rich people in the world will all respond. So, the Armed Forces military expeditions have fallen.”

“Okay, Yang Shenjin, let me do this for you, go!”

Li Longji was eager to raise sufficient funds as soon as possible, so he immediately ordered Yang Shenjin to handle this matter.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Yang Shenjin is greatly relaxed.

In fact, he had long thought of such a method of borrowing, but he did not dare to propose it at will, so, under the premise of giving a hint, let Li Longji think of this method himself.

After Li Longji solved the funding problem, he began to consider how to use troops. The main frontiers in the west and north must not be transferred to Cuandi, because it is the direction of the greatest threat to Great Tang. Moreover, Cuandi Mountain is damp and northwest The main soldiers of the ministry may not have battle strength when they arrive at Cuandi. If the soil and water do not serve one item, many soldiers will get sick and lose their battle strength.

Since the soldiers and horses in the west and north are not suitable for fighting in the custody, they can only mobilize the troops in Beijing or Jiannandao.

The number of soldiers and horses in Beijing is sufficient, but most of them are children of honor and honor. They may not be able to endure the hard work of the clan. The soldiers and horses in Jiannandao are only 30000, and they cannot be mobilized too much, so as not to affect the overall situation of Jiannandao. .

Although Li An proposed that only 3 soldiers and horses be needed to calm the clan land rebellion, Li Longji always felt that this was a joke. In order to win the victory of the clan land war, he was really prepared for the military supplies and materials of 5000 men and horses. In his view, without Kingdom of Nanzhou to play a leading role, the rebellion of Cuanding would require at least 3 soldiers and horses, and he made strategic preparations based on the materials of 5000 horses and horses.

“Xuan Li An sees.”

Li Longji is ready to summon Li An and have a good talk with him. After all, he also thinks that it is appropriate to let Li An, a rising star with a good performance, be responsible for calming down the rebellion. He can train a qualified youngster. The Jiangshan of Great Tang is expected to continue.

In Dayefang, Li An and several confidant brothers are cleaning the backyard of the house. This backyard with 6 acres of land is covered with all kinds of weeds. The dense area is thick with a person. This will become a breeding ground for worms and snakes.

What surprised Li An was that this house was still occupied by people in the past few months. How could the backyard grow such a tall grass? Does the original Owner of the house not clean the backyard?

“Eldest Brother, there is a lot of hay here. It seems that it was last year. This backyard is probably not cleaned for many years.”

“Eldest Brother, the weeds here are taller than people. They look scary. The people who lived here originally were who. How can they be so lazy that their backyards are not packed.”

“Snake, there is a snake in the grass.”

Li An also saw that, among the grass, a few giant grass snakes did emerge and sneaked away from everyone’s crotch.

“Eldest Brother, there are too many weeds in this yard. If it is so cleaned, it may take several days to burn him.”

“Yes, set a fire, this is the most convenient.”

“No, this is the capital, not the village of White Wolf. How can we set fire casually, as long as we set fire, we will definitely attract the people in the Imperial Court, when the time comes may not cure us.”

Li An also felt that it was a bit wrong to set fire in the capital. However, the one-person tall weeds in the 6-acre land would not be easy to handle unless the fire was used.

“Burn! Prepare firewood and burn all the weeds in this backyard.”
