Wei Zheng was laughed angrily by Li Mu's sworn tone, he spread his hands, and said, "It's easier said than done!" What you just meant also made it clear that the handed down fields should not be forcibly recovered, so you let the family pay taxes? Originally, there was no tax! Besides, even if you pay the tax, the one with more land is not worse than this tax, but the burden is heavier for those with less land, and your idea still can't be realized. ”

"That's what I mean!"

"That's what ......" Wei Zheng was almost choked to death, he ignored Li Mu, looked at Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, this is nonsense!" The rent adjustment method is the most suitable method for inheritance, even if he is talented, it is impossible to come up with a better and more practical method in a short time! ”

Li Shimin also had this worry in his heart, frowned and asked: "Li Mu, do you have a way, if you have, you should take it out now, if not, you can't continue to mess around." ”

"Yes!" Li Mulang said: "When the minister does things, he first thinks about the result, if the result is not complete and not enough to convince the public, the minister will not do it in the first place." After that, he looked at everyone and said, "I don't have to fight with the gate valve family to do this. I want to tell you a truth, a very simple truth, there are no eggs under the nest! ”

"Do you think that after the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks last year, there would be no external troubles? Or maybe the princes think that even if the Tang Dynasty is destroyed like the former Sui, there will be a new dynasty coming out, and the family has been inherited for thousands of years, and it doesn't hurt to change the dynasty and the emperor? ”

Baiguan's face was uncertain, and Li Mu's words obviously hit the mind of many of them.

Li Mu sneered and said, "Wrong, big mistake!" When pastors read historical records, there is only one emotion, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible. Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people also suffer! The rise and fall of the people are even more difficult. May I ask you, is the family a people? Is the gate valve a citizen? It is true that the inheritance of thousands of years is true, and the hard work of it, presumably those who have read the family history can understand the meaning of the pastor's words. ”

Knowing these truths, I began to think about how to make the people less bitter or less bitter, so that prosperity can be more prosperous, and death can come later. The conclusion of thinking is that only when the country is strong, can the people live and work in peace and contentment, and only when the country is strong, can the gate valves, families, clans, etc., be inherited in an orderly manner and do not have to suffer from replacement. And the country is strong, in order to resist foreign invasion, the princes have forgotten, since the Han Dynasty, Rong Di into my China, its ignorance of etiquette, not through benevolence and righteousness, the people of the Central Plains suffer deeply, among them, there must be the ancestors of the princes! ”

"Today, the Tang Dynasty relies on the power of the two generations of emperors of the Emperor Taishang and His Majesty to unify the Central Plains. Defeat the Turks and raise the prestige of our country! Unpleasant? Can't congratulate? Is it impossible to expect a prosperous time? The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. For the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the pastor thinks that the pastor and the princes have the responsibility to contribute! ”

"Throughout prehistory, when the country was prosperous, the monarch was wise and virtuous. How can you be clear? How can a minister be virtuous? Fair and selfless, just five words. Whether it is a monarch or a minister, a gate valve, a family, are more than the people too much, already occupy a favorable situation, if it is not contained, even if the monarch is clear, the minister is more virtuous, can not prevent the general trend of destruction, the reason is very simple, when money, power, are concentrated in the hands of a few people, the people are like cattle, horses and livestock, life is unsustainable, do not rebel, what else can they do? Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's generation, is there still less in the history books? Although they will not win the world in the end, the world will die because of them! ”

"The method I am proposing now is not to harm your interests, but to take precautions to prevent Datang from repeating the mistakes of the previous dynasty. If the gate valve family is focused on Datang and supports Datang, such a strong country policy, it should be happy, if the gate valve family has some thoughts that should not be there......" Li Mu sneered and said: "Whose problem is this?" ”

Wei Zheng knew that he couldn't argue with Li Mu, so he also gave up the idea of arguing, and asked: "These are all digressions, you just say, what can be done!" ”

Li Mu looked at Li Shimin and said: "The detailed method, the minister has already asked Changsun Chong and others to draft it on his behalf. ”

"First of all, the four seas are not the king's land, and this sentence must not be an empty word. In the reform of the land system, the first thing to confirm is that there is no royal land within the four seas! All the fields in the Tang Dynasty belong to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and belong to the country! And the land that everyone gets is given by His Majesty, in short, His Majesty is the master of the field, and all the land planted by man is His Majesty's land! This article should be written in the Datang Law! ”

Wei Zheng said angrily: "Li Mu, do you want to take back all the fields?" Just now he said that the monarch and the ministers should be strict with themselves and be lenient with the people, what is this, even the people's jobs will be overturned? ”

"Definitely! I don't want to overturn the people's jobs, I want to tell the people that there are still gate valves, the family, everything you have now is with Datang! If the Tang Dynasty exists, your fields will be legal, and the Tang Dynasty will fall, and your rights and interests will no longer be protected in the next dynasty! Only by supporting and maintaining Datang can you live and work in peace and contentment! What, am I wrong? ”

"I ......" Wei Zheng was choked and called a sturdy, no matter how he said it, it was a trap, Wei Zheng took a deep breath, suppressed the fire in his heart, and said: "Even if you are right, how can you guarantee that every generation of emperors of the Tang Dynasty can discipline themselves?" This rule of yours gives the king the right to deprive the people of their land at any time, and if the king is in power, what will happen to the people? ”

"The testament of the Holy Ancestor is engraved on the pillars of the palace, and future generations cannot change it!"

"......" Wei Zheng had nothing to say, snorted, and said, "You say, and then refute you after listening!" ”

"Another important point is on taxation. Datang's current method of collecting taxes is to put aside the commercial tax, poll tax, land tax, and commercial tax bill, and not mention it first. As for the poll tax and the land tax, I think it is very problematic. ”

Wei Zheng couldn't help but say: "It's been like this for thousands of years, where is the problem!" ”

Li Mu looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Kid is dull, may I ask Duke Wei, how is the poll tax calculated?" ”

"By the number of people, why can't it be counted?"

"Then let me ask Wei Gong, how do you count the heads? Can you tell exactly how many people there are? How do you count the homeless and black households? ”

Wei Zheng stopped talking, he had to admit that in order to save taxes, there were not a few people who concealed the report, and the displaced people were fleeing everywhere, and there were no statistics at all.

"This is just a small problem, the biggest drawback of the poll tax is that the rich have a lot of fields, but there are few poor people, and the poor have no place to stand, but they are forced to do more! With such a big drawback, Wei Gong wants to fool the past with a sentence that has been like this for thousands of years, which is a bit too irresponsible! ”
