"Comply with the purpose..."

   approached the **** and retired.

   soon.

   The servant of the household department walked into the Hall of Longevity.

   When the servant of the household department came in, he knelt down towards Li Si and said: "I have seen your majesty, long live your majesty."

   Tobe servant knelt on the ground, afraid to look directly at the emperor, feeling mixed.

   During the time he left Chang'an, the minister of household ministry had been reflecting.

   His household servant was loyal to Datang, and he was once one of the six prestigious books, but in the end he was demoted and sent to the border to check the land.

Why is that?

  At the beginning, the minister of households thought that his majesty felt that he was not loyal enough.

   But in the end, the minister of households found out that he was wrong.

   It is not that he is not faithful enough, but that he does not understand the Holy Will.

   Above the court, the emperor has made up his mind to take action on the local Jiedu, but at this time he stood up and stopped the emperor...

   Tobe servant wanted to understand this, and he broke into a cold sweat.

   For the emperor, not only the loyalty of the courtiers, but also the loyalty of the courtiers was needed to understand the emperor's meaning.

   Otherwise, if the courtier can't even understand the emperor's words, how can he execute the emperor's order?

  What is the use of such a courtier?

   It’s just that when the Minister of Household Affairs understands this, he is no longer in Chang'an...

   Li Si sat on the throne of the dragon chair and said, "Aiqing has worked hard. During this time, is Aiqing resentful?"

   As soon as Li Si's voice fell, the minister of the household department hurriedly said, "Your majesty, everything about the minister is given by Datang. Your majesty's order, even if the minister is killed, it must be fulfilled. How can you complain?"

   In the mind of the household servant, whether he is a high-ranking member of the first rank or a small official of the 9th rank, as long as he can work for Datang, he doesn't care about official positions.

  The only thing that the servant of the household department worried about was that the emperor was completely disappointed in him and sent him directly to tell him to return home...

   Li Si looked at the household servant, and slightly nodded.

   "Aiqing came to see me, what's the matter?"

   Li Si slightly leaned on the throne of the dragon chair and asked casually.

   The servant of the household department said immediately: "Your Majesty, the Weichen is going to the palace to ask for a meeting this time. He wants to report to his Majesty the situation of the land inspection."

   "Tell me about it."

   "In response to your Majesty, the ministers went to various Jiedu envoys' territories. However, these Jidu envoys either turned a blind eye to the ministers, they were imaginary, delayed and obstructed in every way, and even directly reported a number to the minister at will..."

   Li Si heard this without any expression on his face.

   It would be strange for Li Si to cooperate actively with these degrees.

   "It's just that, for these, the Weichen had already expected it, and the Weichen was divided into two parts when traveling to the Jiedu envoys."

   "On the bright side, they are officials of the household department led by the ministers."

   "In the dark side, there are another group of people."

   "The people in the dark side have extremely secret identities. They quietly check the amount of land while the Weichen is entangled with each other..."

   These words of the minister of household department, Li Si was a little funny in his ears.

   This household servant, did not expect to save the country?

The external image of    Tobe servant has always been straightforward and unsure...

   This point is also very clear to those ambassadors.

   I’m afraid they didn’t expect that the Minister of Household Affairs started to be cunning...

   Li Si asked, "What was the result of the inventory?"

   The minister of the household department bowed and said: "His Majesty, compared with all the land, the Weichen only found out a small part..."

   "It's just this small part, it's shocking..."

   Tobe servant took out a memorial from his cuff and held it between his hands.

   The attendant **** presented the memorial to the Long Case.

   Li Si opened the memorial and frowned.

On the memorial   , some land ownership is written.

   When the Great Tang was founded, 60% of the world was in the hands of the people, and 40% was in the hands of the noble families.

   family members are tax-free.

   However, even so, with the tax revenue of 60% of the land, Datang was also prosperous for a while...

   However, at this time, the part of the memorial presented by the minister of the household, which has been explored, said that today, the land belonging to the people is less than 20%.

   The remaining 80% of the land has all fallen into the hands of those noble families.

   Now, it is relying on the 20% land tax to maintain all the consumption of Datang...

   Li Si's face was extremely gloomy.

   He has thought about serious land mergers,

   Otherwise, Datang’s tax revenue will not fall so drastically.

   But Li Si never expected that the land annexation situation has become so serious? !

   "Your Majesty, the area in Longyou is very cooperative during the process of the Weichen land survey..."

   Tobe servant hesitated for a while and said truthfully.

   "I see."

   The servant of the household department looked at the emperor cautiously, and tentatively said: "Your Majesty, or catch a group of family members, so that the land will be vacated..."

   "Not appropriate."

   Li Si shook his head slightly.

   The issue of land annexation does not lie with the family.

   Even if a group of aristocratic families is really captured and the vacated land is distributed to the people, a new family may be born again after a while.

  The problem of land annexation cannot be solved by a certain family or family.

   In fact, Li Si knew in his heart that this was a difficulty that every feudal dynasty had to face. There was no ruler who didn't want to solve it, but there was no effective way.

  Because the level involved in this issue is too high.

   Even if it is Li Si, who has three gods and demons under his command, he is not willing to move easily.

   Otherwise, if Li Si insisted on going his own way, the entire Datang Empire would collapse and be in sight.

  The reason is very simple. In the Tang Empire, the Li family is the largest family.

   All the noble families in this world are equivalent to the emperor's men.

  The emperor gave them land wealth~www.ltnovel.com~ These family families surrendered to the emperor.

   The Li family and these aristocratic families together form the current Datang Empire.

   The fate of the two is the same, and they are closely related.

   This is also the fundamental reason why the emperor was helpless in the face of land annexation.

  Because, if the emperor really wants to solve the land annexation, the first thing to solve is himself...

   Therefore, all dynasties and dynasties have had land annexation, and the more the dynasty is at the end, the more serious the land annexation situation, but no emperor wants to solve him completely...

   People are selfish.

  Emperor is even more so.

  Who would be willing to sacrifice yourself?

   Li Si sat on the throne of the dragon chair, and his thoughts were turning.

  The most direct way to solve the problem of land annexation is to take back the land under the world and state it.

   However, it takes time to do this.

   Before that, Li Si needed to reform the current land system.

   aristocratic families naturally have the right to tax exemption, merging land, do not need to pay additional taxes, if things go on like this, it will lead to the collapse of the Datang tax system.

   It’s just that if Li Si abolishes the tax exemption privileges of the aristocratic family and collects taxes per mu, how much land and how much tax...

  In this way, no matter how much land is annexed by the family, they cannot evade taxes, and can only pay taxes in accordance with the regulations.

   In this way, Datang's tax system was maintained. .

   Thinking of this, Li Si suddenly got up!

   Land reform, Li Si is imperative!
