Just when both the government and the people in Chang'an were immersed in the joke of the third child being a loser, a small bookstore opened!

This joke of the loser was a joke that the people listened to, but the officials listened to it with a deep meaning, because this joke had appeared in the mouth of the emperor before, and it appeared twice.

Once to the eldest grandson Wuji, once to Cen Wenwen, Cen Wenwen is said to laugh after listening to it!

And that bookstore opened quietly under this circumstance, but the name of this bookstore is a little weird, it is called Changle Bookstore, and the person who cares about the bookstore is an old eunuch!

Every day, I sit on the recliner in front of the store, drinking tea leisurely and basking in the sun......

Until one day a scholar went in to buy paper, this bookstore spread throughout Chang'an in one day, because although the paper in this bookstore is not as good as rice paper, it is much stronger than bamboo paper!

And the price is only half the price of hard yellow paper, I heard the old eunuch say: "This is to pray for the queen's blessing, so it is sold so cheaply."

When reading the book, the handwriting of this book is clear, and the handwriting is rare and the handwriting is of average size! The price is only half the price of an ordinary book!

It's just that there are not too many books, in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, there are only a few copies of "Three Character Classics", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and "Women's Rules"!

And the book sells strangely! "Three Character Classic" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are not for sale, buy a copy of "Women's Rules" and take a copy of "Three Character Classic" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

This move can also be thought of by the Cheng family, you must know that although the book "Women's Rule" is written by the queen, there are really not many people who read it!

If the book sold in the bookstore, "The Female Rule" is not as good as the "Three Character Classic", it is difficult to ensure that Cheng Hong will not be recorded!

You must know that these two belong to the kind of competitive masters, needless to say, the Four Books and the Five Classics, but if your book sells better than "The Female Rule", it will be a bit of a crowd!

For the sake of Cheng Hong's safety, simply, don't sell it, add it, as long as you want these two books, you have to buy "Women's Rules".

As a result, many people had to buy two copies of "Women's Rules", and the queen laughed and scolded after hearing the news: "The Cheng family is really a loach for the family."

Then the beauty was as if he had eaten honey, and he did not order the cancellation of this way of buying and selling, and it seems that the eyes of the people in the world are not so generous.

On this day, all the officials came, and after Li Er went to the palace, everyone reported that the biggest thing except for some small things was the fold of Cheng Hong of Jiangnan Dongdao and the fold of the old sheepskin of Dorjee Country!

One is to apply to build a city in Yuhang and build a tidal embankment! Once the construction is successful, the saline-alkali land washed by the sea tide in Yuhang Town will become thousands of hectares of fertile land!

When they heard about the thousands of acres of fertile land, everyone's eyes were red, but when they saw the long embankment drawn on the map and the canal that was several miles long, everyone was silent!

This is simply throwing money! How much does it cost to throw money down in this way?

I heard that Cheng Hong is not a conscription, but a salary!

Some of them calculated carefully in their hearts, and this money is not less than the cost of half of the Grand Canal!

This time, the ministers blew up: "Your Majesty, Cheng Honggui is the governor of Jiangnan Dongdao, and he should supervise the affairs of the army and train the navy.

This sea tide is fierce, and it is blocked by manpower, which is tantamount to Jingwei reclamation, and the empty cost of national funds......

Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to stop Cheng Dudu from spending national funds......"

This is not bad, but it is limited to the problem of knowledge, good words and persuasion, and even more excessive, what is Cheng Hong recruiting troops and buying horses, and gathering young people with the intention of rebelling......

The angry Cheng Biting Jin almost didn't slap the wat board in his hand, no! It's already filmed: "Lao Tzu is still here, you say my son rebelled?" Make your mother! ……”

The whole court is a mess!

Cheng Biting Jin pounced on Yushi, during which many military attachés went up to pretend to persuade, pull the bias, occasionally come out with black feet, and fight black fists!

The period was mixed with "Oops! ”

"Oops!" Sound!

In the end, Li Er suppressed it strongly, anyway, Jiangnan Dongdao was tax-free for three years, and all construction costs were taken care of by himself, and he was willing to build it, and the imperial court did not participate in it and did not manage it! That's it!

Cheng Biting Jin was triumphant: "My old Cheng is on the side of justice, and besides, Jiangnan Dongdao didn't spend a copper plate on the treasury, so you have a bird business!"

"Cheng Yizhen, shut up!" Li Er's black face scolded!

Cheng Yanjin immediately surrendered his hand: "Yes, Your Majesty!" Then I went back with the wat board! It seems that there is no less advantage.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji's fold was handed over, it was a fold from Dorjee City's request to build a trade city, and this fold was originally to be handed to Fang Xuanling, but this Dorjee couldn't say which department he belonged to!

It stands to reason that it is to return to Honglu Temple, but they have no Ministry of Rites, and everything is the same as if they had just moved from nomadism to semi-settlement.

And he is closer to the Han people, claiming to be a Tang Duoji tribe. Such a group of lovely people, are you embarrassed to treat them as subjects?

You must know that if you want to hand over the fold from Honglu Temple, it is fast to delay for ten days and half a month! The speed at which Honglu Temple delivers excerpts is on a quarterly basis!

But if you want to hand it to Fang Xuanling, they don't have a way yet, you must know that the door of the Chaozaifu is not someone who wants to get on it!

And the second son of Fang is not here, this group of people knows that this favor is getting thinner and thinner, and it is a pity that such a trivial matter as a handing over an excerpt is used to use the favor of the court's house!

So this group of people found Changsun Lian, this city construction, in addition to the matter of Duoji, the most powerful thing is Changsun Lian's border trade division.

Once the city is built, it means that the border trade division completely controls an extraterritorial city, and if this city is developed, it will be able to use this as a standard in the future, first build a city in the enclave in the name of trade, and slowly occupy the territory when it can!

In this way, the border trade department is an indispensable part of the military department and the household department! The military department needs intelligence on this side of the border, and as a city, it must be built stronger.

When the time comes, the grain and grass will be tuned in first, and the army will ride in, without the drag of grain and grass, and be mobile and flexible, so it is not a little bit convenient!

As for the household department, it's even simpler, just one word ~ money!

As long as the city is built, there will definitely be people living in it, and people living in it can collect taxes, and in the past two years, the commercial tax will obviously exceed the agricultural tax!

In particular, the royal caravan is a big merchant and tax collector! And the small merchants who picked up cheap around the royal caravan also actively paid taxes.

The emperor has issued a holy decree, as long as it is found that the merchant has not evaded taxes for ten years, and there is no hoarding, he will cancel the prohibition of scientific examination and some restrictions on the overstepping of the system!

It can be said that as long as you keep paying taxes and don't evade taxes, you can wear silk and satin like normal people, take a carriage to entertain guests, and conduct scientific examinations!

When the merchants heard the news, it was a madness! Directly blocked the door of the Commercial Tax Division! It's all for taxes!

If it weren't for the persuasion of the tax department, it is estimated that there would be people who donated their family property on the spot!

The merchants were so tired of being oppressed, and although they earned money, they had no social status, they could not conduct scientific research, they could not wear silk and satin, and they could not ride in horse-drawn carriages......

Even if you buy silk satin, you can only wear it at night!

Even the women of the Qinglou are dismissive of the merchants, because the merchants, like them, are all lowly people!

But since the commercial tax was raised, the household department was the first to shut up!

If nothing else, this merchant is really rich!

It is estimated that the tax revenue on agriculture will gradually decrease, and the commercial tax will account for the majority! Therefore, whether you are building a city for commercial or agricultural purposes, as long as there is a city, the tax revenue will not be able to run!

The military department and the household department nodded in agreement, and as long as the others did not have a problem with their heads, they would not oppose this matter again!

This city is different from what Cheng Hong built, if Cheng Hong builds a city, both personnel and costs are huge, especially Cheng Hong has to build a tidal dam! In this era, building a tidal dam is tantamount to building a tower to heaven!

Therefore, Cheng Hong's construction of the city caused a lot of opposition, especially the city still needs to spend a lot, this group of people saw that the cost was so large Li Er had a little heart~ How good it is to put this money directly into the treasury!

But Li Er is Li Er after all, if Yuhang City is completed, the entire Jiangnan East Road will have an extra piece of fish and rice! Saline-alkali land has become fertile land, how many people have to be fed?

That's why Li Ercai reluctantly made a decision: build, but the country doesn't pay a single money, you can play slowly by yourself!

And when Dorjee built a city, everyone was very unified, and if it was built, it would definitely be built! But how and where? Who will build it, that's the question!

This Duoji place is a barren land, and the construction of the city is not something that can be built in a day or two, although there is no need to go out of conscription, but the cost of this material and craftsman is to be produced here in Datang!

There is also a place that can be regarded as offshore, not only to coordinate the arrivals, but also to worry about their own safety at all times!

So this matter is a thankless matter, and the main personnel can't settle down, Li Er glanced at it: "Who is responsible for the construction of this extraterritorial city?"

The crowd was silent!

Li Er's mind moved: "This matter is originally a matter of the household department, so it is better to hand it over to Xiao Qing, the secretary of the household department!"

Everyone was stunned, Xiao Yu? That old man is that old, and you just ran to Jiangnan and you kicked it to Tubo again? You're not afraid that he'll run in pieces?

Before everyone here said anything wrong, Xiao Yu came out first: "The minister obeys the order!"

At this time, Xiao Rui suddenly came out of the queue and knelt down in front of the hall: "Your Majesty, my father is old and frail, I am afraid that I can't stand the cold wind of Tibet, and I am willing to go to Tibet on behalf of my father!"

At this time, Li Er also reacted, although this Xiao Yu is so old and hateful, it is not a capital crime, if there is really a three long and two short, he Li Er will not be good!

So he changed his words and said: "I just let Xiao Qing sit in Chang'an, dispatch personnel, not go to Tubo to participate in the construction of the city!" Since you want to build a city, then you can go for it!

It's just that Cheng Hong, the governor of Jiangnan East Province, has experience in building the city, and he has also stayed in Tubo for a while.

Before you go, why don't you go to him and see if there is any way, although Cheng Hong doesn't have time to go to Tubo, but his subordinates Fang Jun and others may be able to use it for you, you can get the order to prepare! ”
