Of course, Zhao Liu also understood that it was inappropriate for Yan Ruyu not to pick up the car, but the incident had already happened, and he could only casually find an excuse to prevaricate.

"Not feeling well? Then I'll go see her! ”

Yang Yuhuan didn't suspect anything, but she still wanted to go and see Yan Ruyu to satisfy her curiosity.

Of course, Zhao Liu had no reason to stop it, so he had to lead the way ahead.

"Cao'er, go and inform Madame that Madam is coming to visit."

Yan Ruyu was not unwell, let alone bedridden, she stood in the house and heard Zhao Liu's words.

"Yan Ruyu has seen a lady."

Since she can't hide, she naturally has to face it bravely, besides, Yan Ruyu has long heard that there is a stunning beauty next to Emperor Li Longji, and she also wants to know what this stunning beauty looks like, and this is not a rare opportunity.

"You're welcome, look up and let me take a good look."

Yang Yuhuan did not have any domineering spirit because of the emperor's favor, and spoke politely, as if he had seen his little sister who had not seen him for many years.

When Yan Ruyu raised her head slightly, the expressions of the two stunning beauties shook at the same time, neither of them expected that the other party would be so beautiful, that is to say, the other party's beauty exceeded their expectations.

Of course, Yang Yuhuan's surprise was more intense, after all, she had never heard of how beautiful Ang Lee's wife was, but Yan Ruyu more or less knew Yang Yuhuan's fame, but she was a little mentally prepared.

"Oh, lady, please come inside, sit down."

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, took the lead in reacting, and politely invited Yang Yuhuan into the room to speak.

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly, and looked at Yu Chaoen and Zhao Liu beside him: "You are all waiting outside the door, I have something to say to Mrs. Li alone." ”

Yu Chaoen and Zhao Liuzhen bowed, slowly exited the door, and gently closed the door.

"Mrs. Li is really handsome, I haven't seen such a pretty woman for many years."

Yang Yuhuan looked at Yan Ruyu carefully, looked at the interior decoration, and praised Yan Ruyu for her beauty.

"Ruyu is ashamed, I saw my lady today, and I know what is the real country and city."

This is not a lie, but Yan Ruyu's heart, she has grown so big, she has never seen a beautiful woman with delicate facial features and fair skin like Yang Yuhuan, and it is normal to feel envy in her heart.

"Ruyu, your name is Ruyu, what a good name, I also have a jade character in my name, it seems that we are really destined."

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly, very happy in his heart, Yan Ruyu is not only beautiful, but also extremely likable to speak.

"Hey, look at your complexion, don't you look unwell?"

Yan Ruyu's face at the moment was white and red, and she didn't look sick at all, which made Yang Yuhuan very curious.

"Lady, actually, I ......"

Yan Ruyu is not good at lying, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Okay, Sister Ruyu, I understand, you don't have to be embarrassed."

Although Yang Yuhuan's age is also very young, she has experienced two men after all, and she has also suffered a lot of sins in the death of a nun, and her social experience is relatively rich.

Seeing that Yang Yuhuan didn't mean to blame herself, and affectionately called herself Sister Ruyu, Yan Ruyu suddenly felt much more relieved, she felt more and more that Yang Yuhuan was kind and a very good person.

Although the weather is cold, the fireplace in Ang Li's main house is burning all day, so people don't have the slightest feeling of cold in the house, Yang Yuhuan and Yan Ruyu sat together and talked about a lot of interesting topics, and they didn't feel the slightest embarrassment and depression with each other, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

"Lady, Your Majesty is going to drive back to the palace."

Yu Chaoen reminded in a whisper outside the door.

"Sister Ruyu, I'm leaving, if there is fate, we will meet again."

Yang Yuhuan got up slowly, and when it was time to return to the palace, she would not delay.

"Sister, let my sister send you!"

Yan Ruyu got up to send him off.

"No need, my sister didn't go out to pick up the driver just now, if she sends them off now, wouldn't she be suspected of bullying the king, Your Majesty will blame you, and General Li will also be implicated."

Yang Yuhuan saw Yan Ruyu's beauty, and was naturally worried about being seen by Li Longji, what Li Sanlang was thinking in her heart, she could already see it clearly, she didn't want to block herself.

In fact, the Yang Yuhuan I knew the day after tomorrow was gentle and beautiful, but I didn't know that she actually had a jealous side.

According to historical records, Yang Yuhuan was twice blasted out of the palace by Li Longji, the reason was because Li Longji favored other concubines and made her jealous.

Yan Ruyu was worried that Li An would be affected, so she naturally didn't dare to send it off, so she only saluted Yang Yuhuan in the house and watched Yang Yuhuan leave her room.

"San Lang, I'm going back to the palace so soon!"

"Oh, the brute hasn't had enough? Do you like anything? ”

Li Longji smiled slightly and asked with concern.

"San Lang, General Li's house has a bathroom, and there are multiple fireplaces built in it, and the bath is very warm in winter, but I am afraid that it may not lose to the Hot Spring Palace, if only one could be built in the palace."

Yang Yuhuan said delicately.

"What's so hard about that? There are quite a lot of craftsmen in the palace, Ang Li, you are responsible for guiding, so that the craftsmen in the palace can learn to make bathrooms, and when the time comes, not only Daming Palace will build one, but also Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace will also build one. ”

As an emperor, Li Longji naturally has a big bearing, and building a few bathrooms is not a problem for him at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a trivial matter, wrapped up in Weichen's body."

Ang Lee replied confidently.

"Okay, go back to the palace."

Li Longji got up and walked out, Yang Yuhuan followed, and when he passed by, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly: "General Li is really well-intentioned, thank you." ”

"Lady is polite, these are all things that Ang Lee should do."

Li An didn't know that Yang Yuhuan had seen Yan Ruyu, and thought that he was thanking him for helping to build greenhouses and bathrooms in the palace?

After sending Li Longji's holy car away, Li An breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to the main house.

After this detailed conversation between the monarch and the minister, Li Longji's troubles in his heart were relieved, and he happily returned to Daming Palace, and Li An was also promoted to the second rank and became the household servant of the fourth grade, and was appointed to implement the two tax laws, which reflected Li Longji's great trust in Li An.

"Husband, what makes you so happy?"

Yan Ruyu greeted her and asked happily.

Li An stood up straight and said proudly: "Madam, my husband has been promoted again, and the four-grade household servant is amazing!" ”

"Tobe Squiro, wow! How could my husband be so powerful, he was promoted to such a big official in just a few days, my uncle has struggled for more than ten years, but he is still the supervising imperial history of the eighth grade. ”

"Uncle's ability is not bad at all, but he doesn't have the opportunity to give full play to his ability, as long as he has the opportunity, his uncle will also rise and rise all the way."

Li An is not a lie, in history, Yan Zhenqing's official position in the early stage has been very low, only the eighth grade, but since the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion, Yan Zhenqing resolutely resisted An Lushan rebels, reflecting a very high military talent, and the position was also promoted again and again.

Therefore, talent is a thing, sometimes it depends on whether there is a chance, once there is a good opportunity, you can soar, if there is no good time, you can only do nothing, and heroes in troubled times are this truth.

"Ruyu congratulates her husband on his promotion, and today he will cook and cook for his husband."

Yan Ruyu said with a smile, although women with high status in ancient times did not have to cook by themselves, but since Li An said that she likes to eat Yan Ruyu's food, she likes cooking, of course, that is, she only cooks a little occasionally, and does not cook often.

"Good! It is an honor for the husband to be able to eat the food cooked by his wife, and if he does it well, he will be rewarded! ”

"Okay, it's a word, I'll go to the back kitchen, Cao'er, go."

Yan Ruyu took the grass and trotted towards the back kitchen.

Li An returned to the bedroom and picked up a pen and paper, since he wanted to implement the two tax laws, he naturally had to write down the two tax laws clearly first, so that others could understand them.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li An changed into the official uniform of the household servant, rode a high-headed horse, and went to the household to report.

The head of the household department is very old, and basically will not appear in the household department, and the person responsible for the normal operation of the household department is the household servant Guo Xuji, of course, now there is another waiter Li An.

But Li An has no intention of fighting for power with Guo Xu, he just obeys Li Longji's orders and is responsible for the implementation of the two tax laws, and he is too lazy to take care of other trivial matters?

"Li Shilang is early."

"Morning Li Shilang!"

As soon as he entered the household department, many officials took the initiative to greet Li An.

The officials who can get mixed up in the household department are all human beings, and their other abilities are not easy to say, but the speed of inquiring about the news is first-class, and not long after Li Long's mouth said that he would appoint Li An as the head of the household department, they have already received the news, and it has spread throughout the household department.

For Li An's past, these household officials are naturally not unclear, after all, Li An has made so many contributions to the Tang Dynasty, in the capital Chang'an, I am afraid that even three-year-old children know Li An, not to mention these essences?

However, Li An doesn't know any of these subordinates, Li An has been serving in the army, and the only civilian officials he knows are those with the highest official ranks, how can these petty officials know each other?

"Okay, hello everyone, this official is on the first day of taking office, please take care of me."

Since Li An came to the household department, he naturally had to establish a good relationship with the officials of the household department, and emotional contact was indispensable.

"Li Shilang is polite, please come inside."

A group of household officials politely invited Li An to the inner hall of the household department, and an official with good facial features had already greeted him in the inner hall.

"Li Shilang, please inside."

This person is none other than Guo Xuji, the head of the household, and Ang Lee has seen him at a banquet in the palace, but they are not familiar with each other.

"It turned out to be Guo Shilang, who first came here, and asked Guo Shilang to take care of him."

Li An said modestly.

"Haha! Li Shilang is young and promising, and he has won the trust of His Majesty, so he needs Li Shilang to take more care of him. ”

Guo Xuji is also humble, even more humble than Ang Lee.

"Guo Shilang, we don't have to be humble to each other, Your Majesty said, let me come to the household department, just to implement the two tax laws, and other things, we still have to worry about Guo Shilang."

Li An made his intentions clear, so that Guo Xuji did not have to be nervous, he did not come to seize power.

Guo Xuji and the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs have heard some information, but they don't know exactly what the two tax laws are, so they are all confused.

"Li Shilang, I don't know how these two tax laws will work, and how will they be compared to rent?"

Guo Xu's status is the highest, of course, he has to ask.

Li An took out the draft of the two tax laws that he had written for several hours from his bosom and handed it to the ministers for them to read carefully.

"Taxes are collected on the basis of the amount of land?"

"Whoever conceals the land he has encroached upon shall be punished tenfold."

"Merchants also have to pay taxes?"

"If this is implemented, the tax revenue that my Datang can receive will be greatly increased, but ...... Ay! ”

After reading Ang Lee's two-tax law, everyone immediately saw the benefits of the two-tax law, but although the two-tax law is good, it is quite difficult to implement, and the nobles who own a lot of land are bound to do their best to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

"Li Shilang, Your Majesty has asked you to be responsible for the implementation of the two tax laws, presumably you are very much in favor of the two tax laws, but does Li Shilang understand the difficulties of implementing this set of tax laws, and the resistance to suffer."

Guo Xuji is a scheming person who never offends people for no reason, and he is reminding Li An to be careful of the nobles' hidden arrows.

"Yes! Oh, yes! The implementation of the two tax laws will definitely not be small. ”

Almost all the household officials thought so, and they were glad that the emperor had sent Li An to take charge of this matter, otherwise, if this kind of thing fell on their shoulders, they would have wanted to cry without tears.

"Guo Shilang and you are very right, the implementation of the two tax laws is to let some nobles cut their meat, of course, it will cause dissatisfaction, and the resistance will naturally not be less, however, Your Majesty supports the two tax laws, this is enough, with Your Majesty's support, I am confident."

Since Li An promised Li Longji, he must do his best to do this thing well, and he will never give up halfway, let alone be afraid.

The essence of the implementation of the two tax laws is fiscal and taxation reform, and as long as it is reform, it will always violate the interests of some people, and thus encounter great resistance, but reform is for better development, and we must not stop the pace of reform because we are afraid of resistance, this is an unchanging truth for thousands of years, and no era will be an exception.

The draft of the two tax laws written by Li An was quickly copied into dozens of copies and distributed to the relevant institutions of the imperial court to let the relevant officials understand the two tax laws, but these drafts also entered the hands of the major nobles at the fastest speed, including the big nobles who held thousands of acres of fertile land.
