"Brother-in-law, the shopkeeper of the Lin family's black tea donated to build ten primary schools, do you think our bread Xinyu should also donate money to build a number of primary schools?"

In the annex of the Chu Wangfu, after Wu Guo read today's Datang Daily, he raised this question with Li Kuan.

"Yes, my Gu family also has some industries in Chang'an City, and if you need it, you can also come forward to donate money to build a batch of Mongolian schools."

Gu Panpan was also on the side.

Because of the booming business of Qingfeng Bun Shop, Gu Panpan now has more reasons to stay in Chang'an City.

The more cities they go to, the more tolerant they are towards "leftover women" like Gu Panpan.

This will be evident in later generations.

Although some media say that there are 30 million singles in China, people living in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are estimated to have an illusion.

Why do you seem to have more leftover women around you than singles?

Especially in economically developed cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai, the number of high-quality leftover women is unbelievable.

In it, I thought that China was a country with more women and fewer men.

"If you really want to donate to support education, the workshops under our Chu Wangfu are the most in Datang, and we can't have no movement at all."

Wu Meiniang also said a little tangled on the side.

In her opinion, this report of Datang Daily actually roasted the Chu Wangfu on the fire.

One Lin family black tea has funded the construction of ten primary schools.

The Northwest Trade, East China Sea Fishery, Ironmaking Workshop, Honeycomb Coal Workshop, Four-wheeled Carriage Workshop, Permanent Bicycle Workshop, and Roasted Tea Workshop under the Chu Wangfu ......

Which one is not larger than the scale of the Lin family's black tea?

It is no secret that the development of education was proposed by Li Kuan to the imperial court.

Now that it's time to pay the money, the actions of the Chu Wangfu are not as good as a Lin family black tea.

It's strange that no one is criticized.

"It's not difficult, but we can't do it so passively, otherwise it will become uncomfortable to spend money on, and it will still attract criticism at that time."

Wu Meiniang said that Li Kuan really hadn't considered it before.

It's not that he's reluctant to pay.

In fact, there is so much money that it no longer means anything to him.

"Why isn't it difficult? Nowadays, the Ministry of Education regards the shopkeeper of the Lin family's black tea as a typical example of donating money to education, isn't it encouraging rich businessmen and nobles from all over the country to contribute money and make powerful efforts to build as many schools as possible? ”

Wu Meiniang felt that Li Kuan's decision to let Luo Binwang attend the opening ceremony of Linjiacun Primary School and write an article on the front page of Datang Daily was a sign of a mistake.

But for a while, I didn't think of a very good solution.

"It doesn't matter how many schools our palace has built, the important thing is to let this kind of rich people build roads and run schools. I am going to propose to Your Majesty that merchants from all over the country be allowed to use half of the money invested in the school and the donation of funds for the construction of roads and bridges to deduct the commercial tax. In this way, everyone's enthusiasm for donating money to education has come up. ”

Li Kuan originally thought of directly allowing businessmen to deduct the cost of donating money to school to deduct business taxes, but later felt that if he did this, it was estimated that many people would fish in troubled waters and make a bunch of fake accounts to be exempt from taxes.

Now, if it is only halved, this risk will be greatly reduced.

Although it is not completely unavoidable that some people deliberately inflate the cost of building and operating the school to deduct tax money.

But with the increase in the number of officials who have studied arithmetic, this situation should be within a manageable range.

"Half of the commercial tax deduction? This encouragement is quite effective, it is equivalent to the construction of schools and roads, and the court has contributed half of the money, but the reputation is all given to the merchants, which can be regarded as supporting the merchants to improve their status in disguise. ”

Although Wu Meiniang felt that Li Kuan's method could not solve the passive situation of the Chu Palace, it was very effective for Li Kuan's original intention of promoting education.

"It's a good idea. Originally, the squires from all over the country had the tradition of donating money to study and building roads and bridges, and now that the imperial court has tax incentives, everyone's enthusiasm will definitely be much higher. ”

Gu Panpan, as the concubine of the Gu family, naturally has a good vision.

Mei Niang felt that not only in encouraging businessmen to donate money to education, but also in some industries encouraged by the imperial court. For example, if the imperial court wants to promote cotton cultivation around Shuozhou, then various cotton-related workshops in Shuozhou can consider giving them some tax incentives.

In the future, if the imperial court wants to support the development of which frontier state capital, it can also announce that merchants can build workshops in these state capitals and have tax exemption for several years, so that the development of these places can be promoted. As long as the workshop develops, it will attract more people to come, everyone's life will be better, and the frontier will naturally become more and more stable. ”

Wu Meiniang's level of touch bypass is incomparable to ordinary people.

It is precisely because of such a talent that she can become the only orthodox female emperor in history.

"Mei Niang's idea is good, needless to say, other things, such as Guangzhou and Yazhou, you can try a preferential tax policy to see how well it works. There is also Youzhou, which is the only place for the Tang Dynasty to go to Liaodong, if it can be operated into a scale like Liangzhou, it will not be difficult for the imperial court to deal with the people in Liaodong again. ”

War, after all, is fought by a country's comprehensive national strength.

As long as Datang's comprehensive national strength is strong enough, no matter which general leads the troops to fight, the chances of victory are very high.

"Lord, is Your Majesty going to deal with Goguryeo?"

Wu Meiniang keenly felt this from Li Kuan's words.

Speaking of which, Goguryeo can be regarded as a knot in the hearts of all the people of the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning, Yang Guangsan conquered Goguryeo, but as a result, he did not gain anything except leaving a pile of corpses for others to make a capital and leaving a bunch of captives for others to develop and grow.

So everyone knows in their hearts that sooner or later the Tang Dynasty will send troops to Goguryeo.

"Looking around, His Majesty can no longer see the opponent. This Goguryeo, even if it doesn't fight this year, it will have to fight next year. ”

Li Kuan did not hide his opinion.

Teach Goguryeo a lesson, Li Kuan is not under pressure at all.

Before Li Shimin was willing to unite with Silla to deal with Goguryeo, he had already thought of sending troops.

Now, it's just a good excuse.

And excuses, as long as the will to fight is strong enough, can be found at any time.

"This time, Your Majesty won't be the royal driver, right?"

Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Kuan couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Can you guess this kind of thing?

Why can't you guess?

But don't be afraid, I don't have to guess to know!
