When Li Er arrived at the Lizheng Palace, he couldn't help but blush when he saw that the eldest grandson, Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others had already prostrated on the case to see the tax situation in various places and the evaluation of officials.

"The dining room of Zhongqing's family has already prepared a meal, and it is not too late to wait for the next meal!"

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone got up and gave up their hands, but was stopped by Li Er.

"Don't be polite, what can the Qing family see?"

Fang Xuanling got up: "Your Majesty ......"

"Xuan Ling just sit down and say!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!

This year's tax ministers have seen a small half, if nothing else, the new Yamen Border Trade Division will definitely occupy the leading position!

And far ahead, congratulations to Your Majesty, and another good minister, congratulations to the auxiliary machine family with Lin'er! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand: "Xuanling praises falsely, don't dare to be!" Don't dare to be! ”

"Hahaha! Huan'er has really done well this year, and she should praise it! Anything else? Li Er laughed and continued to ask.

"Oh, there are also the major caravans, the Champa rice pulled back from Jiangnan Dongdao is turned into white rice and sold to the surrounding areas, although it is not much profit, but this Yan Ya and Huang Jia no longer grow food!

There are also countries in the Western Regions, as well as Tuyuhun, Duoji and other places where the grain planting areas have been greatly reduced! It is estimated that in less than five years, these small countries will all rely on buying food from us! ”

"Good!"

Undoubtedly, this mastery of the other party's food supply directly controls the life and death of this country! And this is exactly what the Royal Caravan was founded for.

"Yes, congratulations!

In addition, this year, although the governor of Jiangnan Dongdao Xiaocheng said that he would build Qixing City, build roads and build docks, but if the tax money is paid, there will still be a surplus.

The main profits were the rice brought back from Champa and the spices, timber and the proceeds from the sale of ships.

There are also some messy fees as well as customs duties! The one with four out of ten! ”

Li Er laughed and scolded: "This little skin monkey, the people say that he is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, but he is a good hand at holding money!"

Fang Xuanling paused: "It's just that Your Majesty said that Jiangnan Dongdao will be tax-exempt for construction for five years, and there will be a little surplus this year, and it is estimated that the profit will be more abundant during the New Year."

If this tax continues to be exempted for five years, I am afraid it will be a little inappropriate! Moreover, the governor of Xiao Cheng has sent someone to send the tax book for inspection, and he also specially wrote a note to ask for the resumption of Jiangnan Dongdao taxation.

It's just that Xiao Cheng said that ~ agricultural taxes can be exempted! ”

"Agricultural tax? Is there still an agricultural tax in Gangnam East Province? ”

Fang Xuanling picked up the account book: "There are also some new fields that have been newly opened this year, especially in Yuhang, where Xiao Cheng has reclaimed land and dug out thousands of hectares of water from the sea to irrigate the fields!"

"It's quite reasonable! How much more can we collect agricultural taxes than we do now? ”

"Your Majesty stipulates that new fields are exempt from taxes, if you wait for these new fields to become mature and follow the rules, you will have to wait for three years, and within three years, the agricultural tax in Jiangnan Dongdao will be less than 10,000!"

"That's it?"

"That's all there is to it, and it's all Shimoda! The imperial historians have also sent people to verify that there are almost no fertile fields in the entire Jiangnan East Province. ”

Speaking of the imperial history to verify the field, everyone in the palace couldn't help but smile, this imperial history in order to move to Cheng Hong is also a painstaking effort, but unfortunately it is in vain.

Others don't know, this Fang Xuanling doesn't know? How many valuable transactions does this Cheng Hong have royal elements in them?

And these are all given to the royal family by Cheng Hongbai!

And this house and women's street are all built or out of Cheng Hong's ideas, which one is not a daily income?

Is Cheng Hong guilty of cheating for a few pieces of land? It's all a bunch of guys who are confused.

"Then let's do it!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Er say that he wanted to exempt agricultural taxes, he couldn't help but stand up and speak!

Li Er was stunned.

The eldest grandson Wuji continued: "The Jiangnan East Province is not the same as the rest of the country, if the agricultural tax is exempted, there are also fishing tax, tea garden tax, and sea tax, which is enough to make up for the gap in agricultural tax.

Moreover, there is very little farmland in Jiangnan East Province, and there will not be much tax! So agricultural taxes don't matter!

But in the rest of the region, agricultural taxes still account for an important proportion! If Jiangnan Dongdao is exempted from agricultural taxes, it is inevitable that the rest of the region will be dissatisfied! Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness. Agricultural taxes are not exempt, at least not for the time being! ”

Li Er nodded after hearing this: "What the auxiliary machine said is right, I am not thinking about it!" Then, according to the usual practice, the agricultural tax will be exempted for five years, and the rest of the tax will be calculated separately and handed over to the household department! ”

……

What a shameless approach!

It's just that Li Er was aroused by this topic of exemption from agricultural tax: "Zhongqing, let's talk about it today~ When do you say that if this is a full exemption from agricultural tax, when will it be feasible?"

Everyone was suddenly stunned: exempt from agricultural tax? How can it be? This has not been exempt from agricultural taxes since ancient times, right?

Then the mood was agitated again~ Exemption from agricultural tax, if this is really achieved in your own hands, it will be famous for eternity!

But Fang Xuanling looked at the sudden rise of commercial taxes, this agricultural tax exemption does not seem to be impossible, although it is a little difficult, but there are feasible strategies!

The ministers discussed two sentences, and although nothing came out, at least a seed was planted in their hearts!

Someday, this seed will take root and grow into a big tree at the right time!

Everyone discussed a few words and found that the time was not yet ripe, so they couldn't finish the topic, and Fang Xuanling continued to talk about business~

"Your Majesty, the profits of this bank have been reported, although it is not big, but most of them are loaned out of green seedlings, yellow seedlings, and serious diseases!

This part is almost unprofitable! These payments can be recovered, and the main profit is remote withdrawal and coin exchange!

It's just that the excess gold, silver, and copper exchanged for this coin cannot be minted into coins to continue circulation, and the bank has applied for three stamps as appropriate, all of which are thrown into the private sector in small amounts.

Recently, it seems that the effect is good, although the folk sometimes use silk instead of coins in some places, but it has gradually been reduced to the edge!

The money shortage has basically been eliminated! A large number of silver coins appeared in the people, gold coins spread rapidly in the hands of merchants, and the people gradually became accustomed to and recognized the existence of gold coins and silver coins!

Now gold and silver ingots have gradually withdrawn from the market to replace coins, and it seems that the transition has passed! ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this bank represents the credibility of the country, and this coin is the credibility point, if even the coin is not recognized by the people, then the country will be finished.

After Li Er heard that there were a lot of Qingmiao loans, Huang Miao loans, and serious illness loans, he sighed and said: "The people of Datang still can't eat enough, I'm sorry for them!"

"Your Majesty's words are serious, if the people of these dynasties do not starve to death, it will be praised by all the people! Now that you can go to the bank for a loan, and only repay the principal, so that the people will not sell their fields and become tenants, this is the greatest grace!

And His Majesty also buys grain at a protective price, so that the grain of the farmers can be sold at a good price, so that there will be no phenomenon of cheap grain hurting the peasants, I don't know how many peasant households have His Majesty's Immortal Shrine at home! ”

Li Er listened to the praise of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the laughter in his heart was about to overflow, but he said: "It's me who is not good enough, I am not good enough, I must let the whole Tang Dynasty eat meat in the future!"

"The minister must do his best!"

The business blows each other over, Fang Xuanling continued~

"The two juniors of the Wei Chi family are still building the railway, and the vacancy of this railway is too big, but it is filled by the inner treasury and the national treasury plus the Cheng family, or selling bonds in the bank! Fortunately, it can still be supported, but it is a bit of a shortfall.

The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry originally wanted to stop the railway, but there were too many things involved here to make up their minds for a while, so please make up your mind! ”

"Repair, this must continue to be repaired, no matter how much the deficit is, this must be repaired.

How effective is the railroad being repaired now? ”

"Most of them are merchants who transport goods, and the place where they make a profit is to transport wool and merchant goods, and there is also to transport bank copper coins!

And the passenger transport is mostly some students who travel to study and businessmen who go south and north. Barely enough to keep the railroad running. ”

Li Er nodded: "That's good!"

Everyone here knows the benefits of the railway, especially this army, so to speak, Datang can fight to the end of the railway extension!

And now the railroad is basically for military purposes, just look at the railroad that is now extending in the direction of Goguryeo!

If you want to make a profit, as long as you extend the railway to the countries of the Western Regions, the Hu merchants can make the railroad track popular!

It's just that now steel production is prioritized for the military, as for profit? If you really defeat Goguryeo, are you afraid that you won't have money?

Goguryeo is all fertile land! When the time comes, it's all money!

What kind of errand fee in the Western Regions can be compared with Goguryeo?

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji spoke: "Your Majesty, at the end of this year, the list of officials who will come to Chang'an to pay homage and report on their work in Chang'an has come out, Your Majesty, do you still have anything to add or subtract?"

If there is no minister, it will be sent! ”

Li Er took the list and asked Fang Qiao while looking at it: "Xuan Ling, is this the top comment on the population growth and tax revenue of Jiangnan Dongdao?"

"Of course!"

"Hey! Although Ke'er was messing around at the beginning, now she has finally grown up a little, and Concubine Yang said that she dreamed of Ke'er a few days ago! ”

This group of people are all human spirits, how can they not hear this?

"At the beginning, the king of Nanhai County himself was not punished for his crimes, but this is a faux pasa for not waiting for anyone to send him in person.

The king of Nanhai County is now governing Jiangnan Dongdao and governing well, and tomorrow's ministers and others will ask His Majesty to restore the previous title of King of Nanhai County! ”

Li Er didn't deny it, he nodded with a smile!

continued to look at the list, and after reading it, he asked: "Why is this Cheng Hong not on it?" As soon as this stinky boy was thrown out, he disappeared, and he was assassinated and went to sea, so there was no time to stop.

I heard that I've been hanging out in Gangnam Dongdo recently, so since I'm so idle, let's come back! Better Queen, there needs to teach him etiquette!

If you don't enter Ding, all the men are under the control of the queen, and it's time for the stinky boy to clean up! I thought that giving him an outgoing official would make him more diligent, but I didn't expect to become lazier! It's time to fight! ”

When the ministers heard this, they were speechless for a while.

There is no one else who deserves this courtier to this extent!

If it weren't for Cheng Hong's personality being exactly the same as Cheng Biting Jin, everyone would wonder if this Cheng Hong was His Majesty's illegitimate child! It's too spoiled!
