Li An and Li Shizhi, accompanied Li Yi and his old subordinates, chatted in the pavilion, chatting with these seniors in their old age, there was no pressure on their minds and spirits, at least, for Li An, this feeling was still very good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Oh Lang! Last time, you said that these wheelchairs can continue to be improved, and it just so happens that I have summarized a few points that need to be improved, and I will ask you to come over and discuss. ”

Li Yi was chatting happily, and suddenly said his purpose for looking for Li An.

"Da Ah Weng thinks, what are the other inconveniences? If possible, the grandson will definitely improve. ”

Li Ang is still sure about improving the wheelchair, as long as Li Yi's requirements are not too high, there should be no big problems.

Li Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth, tilted his neck back, and said: "It's already very convenient to have this wheelchair, but I've been sitting on it for too long, and my back is a little uncomfortable, so I want to lie down and rest, but I can't lie down at all!" It would be more comfortable if the wheelchair could be both sitting and lying down, but I knew it would be difficult, so I would mention it casually, and maybe Dalang would have a way. ”

Li Yi thought about it for a long time, and always felt that it was not easy to do, after all, the chairs are fixed, and if you want to sit, you can't have the function of lying down, if it's a lying model, it's impossible to sit, how can you have both fish and bear paws, this truth, Li Yi still understands this truth very well.

"It's difficult, isn't it just a wheelchair that can sit and lie down? Don't worry, Da Ah Weng will wrap it up on his grandson, and within half a month, he will definitely make it for you. ”

Such a wheelchair may be very difficult for Li Yi, but for Li An, it is not difficult, after all, Li An has the strong knowledge of later generations, and it is not difficult to create a wheelchair that can sit and lie down at all, and it can also realize the adjustment of multiple angles, tilting 90 degrees, tilting 120 degrees, tilting 150 degrees, and even, tilting 180 degrees, so that the wheelchair can be turned into a bed.

"That's fine, Dalang, you can't joke."

Li Yi only mentioned it casually, and planned to take a step back when Li An answered that he couldn't do it, and asked Li An to make a wheelchair for him that could lie down, so that the two wheelchairs could be alternated, which could be regarded as meeting his requirements and making his life more comfortable, but he didn't expect Li An to agree without much thought, which made him feel very surprised.

The four old subordinates also showed incredible expressions after listening to Li An's understatement, in their opinion, such a request seemed to be difficult to achieve, in fact, they felt that it was not easy to combine the carriage and the chair into one.

"Da Aweng, seniors, if I can't do it, how can I say big things? This requirement is really not high, and it is easy to do, but it is indeed more troublesome, and it takes some time to prepare, and it takes at least half a month to make it. ”

Li Ang is already relatively conservative, according to his estimate, it should be able to be done within ten days.

"Okay, good, it's really good, Dalang, if you can really make it, I will buy more and give it to my old subordinates, haha!"

Hearing that such a wheelchair can be made, Li Yi was very excited, so that his life would become more comfortable, and the pain of his body would be greatly reduced, and his old subordinates were also very happy, after all, Li Yi just said that as long as it is easy to use, he will continue to give these good things to his old subordinates.

"General Li, we have inconvenient legs and feet, and we need to be taken care of everywhere, especially in the Gongfang, even more so, this is very inconvenient, I wonder if General Li has a better way to solve it?"

An old general asked, he was Li Yi's old subordinate, and he was also a general, although his position was not high, he was quite reused and trusted by Li Yi.

"It's simple, just create an opening in the middle of the wheelchair that can be opened at any time, and in addition, put a small platform on the west side and put the barrel on the platform, so that you can go to the toilet while sitting in a wheelchair, so that it is much more convenient."

Ang Lee directly said the method of improvement, which was a very common piece of furniture in later generations, and it was not worth mentioning at all, but no one could invent it in the era of the Tang Dynasty.

"It's a good idea to make a hole under your ass and go to the toilet in a wheelchair, haha! General Li is really smart! ”

"Da Lang, since this is the case, then you can make a few more samples, and make some of this kind of opening underneath."

Li Yi is in a very good mood, after all, Li Anxin's invention will further facilitate his life and make his life happier and better.

After talking for a while, Li Yi's four old subordinates said goodbye and left, but Li An and Li Shizhi did not leave, but accompanied Li Yi to chat in the back garden.

"Sixth brother, you don't seem to be in a good mood today, do you have anything to worry about?"

Li Yi saw that Li Shizhi hadn't spoken much, and he had some doubts in his heart, so he asked.

Li Shizhi sighed and did not answer.

"Da Lang, what's wrong with you Liuweng?"

Li An glanced at Li Shi and told Li Shizhi about being framed by Li Linfu.

"Brother Nu is still the same, after so many years, he is still so jealous and jealous, worried that someone will threaten his status, however, the sixth brother does not have to be sad, this time it is purely an accident, Huashan Gold Mine is Your Majesty's dragon vein, even I don't know about this matter, you are on the way of Brother Nu, it is really normal, next time be very careful."

Li Yi opened his mouth to persuade Li Shizhi, he also knew Li Linfu very well, but when he was brilliant, Li Linfu was still a petty official, and after Li Linfu paid his respects, he was already old and frail, and he could not pose any threat to Li Linfu, so he hung the dotted line of the prince and young master, and retired at home with a high salary.

"Next time, where can there be a next time, Your Majesty no longer trusts me now, let me discuss with Li Linfu before I ask any questions, the so-called Zuo Xiang is just a false name."

Li Shizhi sighed helplessly, Li Longji did say that Li Shizhi had to discuss everything with Li Linfu, so that Li Linfu alone would have the final say on all the major affairs of the imperial court, and Li Shizhi's left minister did not have any real power at all, nor could he control any major affairs in the imperial court, and it was precisely because of this that Li Shizhi could not help Li An and proposed a plan for the two tax laws to Li Longji.

"Your Majesty was confused by my brother and slave, and now, the government is getting worse day by day, but unfortunately I am already old and powerless."

Li Yi lamented that he was old, after all, he was over eighty years old, and now he was an idle man with no real power, so he could not change the fact that Li Linfu was in power.

"Da Ah Weng, as long as we work together, the government may not change for the better, at present, the tax revenue of the court is not as good as a year, and the people are fleeing more and more, if the current tax system is not changed, I am afraid that the tax revenue of Datang will not be enough to maintain expenses in the future, and Datang will be in danger of losing the country at that time."

Of course, Ang Li will not say anything about the Anshi Rebellion, but if the current situation cannot be changed, the Anshi Rebellion will also come on time, and at that time, Datang will fall into a situation from which there will be no return.

"Reform the tax system? Dalang, this tax system was set by the ancestors, how can it be changed at will. ”

Li Yi's thinking is obviously a bit old-fashioned, and he feels that the rules set by his ancestors should not be changed at will.

However, Li An immediately gave an explanation, laying out the fact that the Tang Juntian system had been destroyed and a large number of people had fled, and proposed his own two-tax system for Li Yi to evaluate.

"The land tax is paid according to the amount of land owned, so that the more land is annexed, the more taxes must be paid, which can indeed greatly increase the tax of the imperial court, but as long as this two tax laws are proposed, they will inevitably offend many people, especially the powerful people with a large number of land, and they will be greatly dissatisfied, and the resistance is afraid to be great."

Li Yi quickly thought of the benefits and difficulties of the two tax laws, he has a lot of land under his own name, if the two tax laws are implemented, the taxes he has to pay will become more, of course, Li Yi's income is very high, this little money, for him, is nothing.

"What Da Ah Weng said is, however, as long as this two-tax law is implemented, it will inevitably increase a lot of finance and taxes to Datang, and the treasury will become more and more abundant, as long as we can convince Your Majesty, Your Majesty agrees, what can the nobles oppose, besides, the tax on the fields under the two-tax law is not high, and it will not make the nobles hurt their muscles and bones, just a small cut of meat, and the resistance should not be as big as we imagined."

Li Ang expressed his opinion, he always felt that since the two tax laws can be implemented in a few decades, it doesn't matter much if they are advanced now, after all, it is only more than 30 years in advance, and at most it will be two generations.

"In that case, why don't you dedicate the two tax laws to Your Majesty?"

Li Yi said tentatively.

"Eldest brother, Your Majesty has a deep prejudice against me now, but I am afraid that the originally promising two tax laws will make Your Majesty unhappy because I submitted it, and thus fall short, in addition, Your Majesty has already said that no matter what happens in the future, you must first discuss with Li Linfu before you can speak."

Li Shizhi's expression was very helpless, Li Longji asked him to discuss with Li Linfu no matter what, which was tantamount to seizing his real power, although he did not explicitly revoke his left minister, but he was already dead in name.

"Haha! I see, you are here today to make me sacrifice the two tax laws, yes or no? ”

Li Yi laughed, he was not a fool, how could he not see the thoughts of Li An and Li Shizhi.

"What Da Ah Weng said is that the six Ah Weng has just made His Majesty unhappy, and his grandson is in a humble position, so he does not dare to rashly propose such a big policy, and Da Ah Weng is highly respected, if he can contact a group of old subordinates to play His Majesty, the two tax laws will definitely pass."

Li An patted his ass while massaging Li Yi's shoulder.

"Haha! You're trying to put this offending errand on me! The two tax laws collect the money of the nobles who have a lot of land and money, and as soon as this law is proposed, I don't know how many nobles will scold me after being scolded? ”

Li Yi said what was in his heart with a relaxed expression, obviously, he was not afraid of offending people, he was half cut into the ground, what else was there to be afraid of, in addition, although he was already at home for the elderly, he still cared about the government in his heart, after all, he was also a member of the Tang Dynasty, if the government deteriorated and the national strength was damaged, it would not be a good thing for him.

"But as soon as this law is proposed, the poor people all over the world will pray for Da Aweng, and if they set up a shrine for Da Aweng, of course, their grandchildren will also jointly play and stand with Da Aong."

Li An moved out of the world to cheer for Li Yi, at this moment, apart from Li Yi, he really couldn't think of anyone more suitable to persuade Li Longji to implement the two tax laws.

"Alright! For the sake of my grandson in a wheelchair for me, I agreed, but whether Your Majesty can accept it or not, and what the reaction of the ministers will be, is not something I can decide, after all, even if Your Majesty is tempted by the two tax laws, he will let the Manchu civil and military discuss, and when the time comes, there will definitely be people who oppose it. ”

Li Yi calmly analyzed.

"Great, as long as Da Ah Weng makes this suggestion, even if His Majesty and the ministers do not agree for the time being, but in the future, when the Tang Dynasty is even more short of money, His Majesty and the ministers will definitely think of this two-tax law, in short, the two-tax law will always be implemented one day."

Ang Lee said with great certainty.

"Okay, it's decided, in a few days, I will personally enter the palace to discuss this matter with Your Majesty, whether it is successful or not, I have no regrets."

Li Yi has already made up his mind.

Although he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, and besides, this two-tax law would increase his taxes and damage his interests, but the favor he owed Li An had to be repaid.

Last time, Ang Lee gave him a very practical wheelchair, this is a favor, and this wheelchair is very urgently needed by him, which is a great favor for him.

There is a more important point, Li An is preparing to develop a wheelchair that can sit, lie down, and even sit on the toilet, if the development is successful, his future life will be more convenient, in this case, of course, he is not willing to refuse Li An's request.

From another point of view, Li An used the previous promise to develop a new wheelchair for Li Yi, and then put forward his own request, so that Li Yi had to agree, which was also quite a clever little trick, and he had already thought of this when he was in Li Shizhi's mansion.

After discussing the major matters of the two tax laws, Li An and Li Shizhi, under the kind invitation of Li Yi, had a big meal together in the main hall of the palace.

I have to say that Li Yi is really a tyrant, since Li An gave him a wheelchair, his mansion has undergone a major renovation in a very short period of time, not only the pavilion in the back garden has been rebuilt, the road has been smoothed, and even the thresholds of all rooms have been removed, and these have been completed in a few days, and the speed can be described as very fast.

Li An estimated that many people in the palace hated themselves to death, and if he hadn't sent a wheelchair himself, Li Yi would not have ordered a large-scale renovation of the mansion, and they wouldn't have had to work so hard. (To be continued.) )
