Qiu Ya's death also made Li Jun understand a truth, he should also take time to spend time with his family, according to the palace maid who served Qiu Ya, Qiu Ya has been depressed during the labor period, if she was by her side at that time, maybe this tragedy would not have happened.

In addition to Qiu Ya's death, the other saddest person was the Empress Dowager Wei, Empress Dowager Wei specially called Li Jun to Changle Palace and instructed: "Emperor, Qiu Ya has been with the queen mother since she entered the palace at the age of six, this is seventeen years, seventeen years of love, the queen mother is very sad, the queen mother does not ask for anything else, you must protect her child." ”

"Queen Mother, don't worry, the queen is virtuous, I have already handed over the child to the queen to raise." Li Jun hurriedly comforted.

From the Empress Dowager Wei's Palace, Li Jun happened to meet Zhuo Wen and others who went to ask the Empress Dowager Wei to say goodbye, Zhuo Wen and Li Moyue have the best relationship, so they often go to Changle Palace, after Li Moyue got married, Empress Dowager Wei was lonely, and she often looked for Zhuo Wen to come over to chat.

When Zhuo Wen saw Li Jun, he immediately saluted and said, "The concubine will see Your Majesty." ”

Li Jun nodded and said, "Calm down, the Queen Mother is not in a good mood these days, you go to Changle Palace to accompany your mother and chat more." ”

"The concubine obeys."

Zhuo Wengang wanted to leave, but saw Li Jun wave his hand and said, "I heard that your father built a courtyard for Shan'er in Shanglin Yuan, covering an area of more than 3,000 acres. ”

"Your Majesty, don't blame me, my father and his old man just like the mountains." Zhuo Wen hurriedly explained.

Li Jun snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, don't cover it up for him, go back and let him vacate that courtyard, I am going to move the Eagle Battalion there, and don't do this kind of thing again in the future, because of this matter, the court imperial history impeachment of your father is almost piled up in the room." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for reminding me, and the concubine will tell my father when she goes back." Zhuo Wen hurriedly replied.

Li Jun waved his hand and left with a blushing face, looking at the back of Li Jun leaving, Zhuo Wen patted his chest and scolded hatefully: "Old guy, it's really, it's causing chaos to people." ”

Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people, which in itself is an unbreakable truth, so although there are great changes in the personnel of the imperial court now, under the control of Li Jun, everything has passed smoothly and orderly.

At the end of the year, the newly established Sanzhou also began to get on the right track, Li Jun had a very boring New Year, and the sixth year of Zhenguan kicked off.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, the cattle in the entire north have become rich, and the people tend to be saturated with cattle, although it is not enough that every household has ploughing cattle, but dozens of ploughing cattle in a village can still be guaranteed.

Now in the rural areas of Guanzhong, there is a common phenomenon that three or four hundred households in a village will pool money together to borrow cattle from the government, and then raise these cattle in a centralized manner and concentrate on cultivating the land, which greatly reduces the burden on the peasants, and also narrows the gap between the rich and the poor in the countryside.

Isn't the large collective labor model the Mo Society, this is exactly what the Mo family advocated, and now the people have slowly begun to learn this model, which has sounded a wake-up call for Li Jun.

Although Li Jun had many ways to prevent the spread of this trend, the people of the Tang Dynasty were too fragile to withstand Li Jun's thunderous blow, so Li Jun decided to use the mildest way to solve the problem, that is, no tax on farming.

In recent years, with the vigorous development of commerce, coupled with the opening of the city, the agricultural tax has continued to decline in recent years.

This year, Li Jun also planned to continue to reduce agricultural taxes, so he called the newly appointed household secretary Zhao Kang and Zhang Zhi to Shangshutai.

Zhao Kang still looked as cautious as before, Li Jun didn't ask, never replied, Li Jun quipped: "Zhao Qing, you are also a cabinet minister now, not my retainer, you don't have to look like this in front of me, I can't just beat you at this time." ”

Zhang Zhi also chimed in: "Lord Zhao, it's right to be careful, but the people in our cabinet must also have their own principles, if Your Majesty does something wrong, we should still admonish you." ”

Zhao Kangwei only said yes, Li Jun scolded with a smile: "I'm embarrassed to say that people, you have been in the cabinet for so long, and I haven't seen you admonish a few times, and this matter is usually done by Sima Da and Li Lin." ”

"Haha, Your Majesty, this is a wronged minister, hasn't the minister never found a chance." Zhang Zhi replied with a smile.

Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be poor, let's get down to business." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." The two immediately arched their hands and said.

Li Jun first asked Zhao Kang: "How much tax is planned by the household department this year?" ”

Zhao Kang immediately replied: "Your Majesty, if there are no natural and man-made disasters, this year's tax revenue can reach more than 160 million copper coins, an increase of 20% over last year, the main source is that Lingnan does not need a large amount of investment this year, and can be fed, of which agricultural taxes account for only 30 percent, and commercial taxes account for as much as 50 percent." ”

Li Jun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this year I plan to continue to reduce the agricultural tax by three percent, Zhao Shangshu, you can plan how much the commercial tax will have to reach to complete this goal." ”

Zhao Kang is a counter, and when he heard this, he thought for a while and replied: "If according to what Your Majesty said, this year's commercial tax must reach 100 million copper coins to achieve this goal." ”

Li Jun turned his head to Zhang Zhi and said, "Zhang Qing, do you feel any difficulties with this goal?" ”

Zhang Zhi hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this goal is now the ministers do not dare to pack tickets, because the dynasty is now in a time of rapid change, and the ministers can no longer predict the pros and cons of a thing in advance, just like before, we thought it was the wrong thing, but after more than ten years, we found that they were right, such as the ban on opening up merchants, since ancient times, we believe that farming only has three times the benefits, workmanship has only five times the benefits, and doing business will have hundreds of times the benefits, I am very worried about once the ban is opened, It will cause Guan Zhong's old affairs in the Qi country, there will be barren farmland, hundreds of workers will be abandoned, everyone wants to become a businessman to chase a hundredfold of interests, but now it seems that this is not the case, the farmer is still farming, the farmland is not abandoned, the worker is still working, the hundred workers are becoming more and more exquisite, the number of merchants has indeed increased, but it has brought countless taxes to the country, so this matter is recommended to be discussed by the cabinet before deciding. ”

Speaking of these, Li Jun is also very satisfied, these are the changes that Li Jun has brought to the country, so Li Jun said his goal: "I am optimistic that in another ten years, the agricultural tax will be completely realized." Do the two Aiqing know what it means to have no tax on agriculture? It represents that the people will never rebel again, as long as they cultivate, they will have no shortage of food and clothing, and the rivers and mountains of Datang will naturally last for thousands of years. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and your ministers will definitely assist Your Majesty in accomplishing this great cause." The two of them immediately arched their hands.

A few people chatted a few more words, Zhang Zhi and Zhao Kang went out of Shangshutai, on the way, Zhang Zhi suddenly asked: "Lord Zhao, do you know what the non-agricultural tax represents?" ”

"Oh, what does Lord Zhang think, I'm listening to you." Zhao Kang said with a smile.

Zhang Zhi sighed and said: "After the agricultural tax is not paid, the life of our nobles will not be better, the people have no rebellion, Your Majesty's eyes will inevitably turn to us nobles, and it may be difficult to wait for death with the general before, it can be seen from this peace negotiation with Beijin that such a good opportunity, Your Majesty is still unwilling to use troops on a large scale, because Your Majesty decided to pacify the people as the first priority." ”

When Zhao Kang heard this, his mood suddenly became bad.

Within a few days, Li Jun issued two holy decrees at the same time, the first holy decree was to let the local government reorganize the displaced people, all the displaced people must be registered, and no one can be left behind, the final destination of these displaced people is the newly established Sanzhou land in the north, and in order to avoid the occurrence of cruel things to the displaced people, Li Jun also filled the world with the imperial history of the court and the Jinyi Wei faction.

The second decree was that the imperial court re-established the commercial tax, and the commercial tax on ordinary goods changed from the previous five draws to one out of ten, while the tax on luxury goods became five draws from one out of three.
