To tell the truth, this Li Ermo doesn't know how to read minds

It seems that he is still too tender

"Since Your Majesty wants to hear it, the minister naturally knows everything"

Li Er sat down, looking like he was listening. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.

Seeing this situation, Ding Yi had a headache, and he didn't say no

"The minister just thinks that Datang's taxes have revealed a lot of taxes that should be collected."

"Your Majesty means to exempt customs duties, and the minister also understands. It's just that tariffs are tariffs, and commercial taxes are commercial taxes"

Ding Yi stopped and looked at Li Er's expression, very serious

continued: "The minister doesn't understand very well why the imperial court collects taxes from the people, and collects cloth and other things."

This kind of tax in kind is troublesome to put away, and Ding Yi has always been very unintelligible.

Li Er looked at Ding Yi and said, "Then what do you think you should collect from the people?"

"Isn't it good to collect money directly?"

Li Er sneered and said, "Then you think that the people have enough money to pay taxes, but you don't know the benefits of collecting money directly."

Uh, I really don't know

"Nowadays, in the Tang Dynasty, the people mainly focus on farming, and there is not much surplus grain all year round. Where did they get the money to pay the taxes" Li Er suddenly felt that Ding Yi had a kind of mud that couldn't support the wall, and the words he said during the day made him a confidant for a while, and now he is confused and doesn't look like he is pretending

Ding Yi was silent, he didn't expect this, some of them have not changed the vision of future generations, and later generations only paid taxes when they were young, and later they were all given various subsidies, although they were subsidized for farming, although they were to prevent the loss of rural population, they all went to work. But I also have to feel the strength of the country

Thinking of this, Ding Yi had a new idea, and replied: "Your Majesty, can the minister analyze it?"

Li Er waved his hand, Ding Yi did not hesitate, and said: "The minister is thinking, Datang has always been based on agriculture, and the harvest of grain and the amount of cultivated land also determine the strength of the country. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. And the people have little money because there is not enough food. ”

"The minister thinks there are five solutions to this matter"

"Which five" Li Er was shocked, this kid dared to say that there were five ways to solve this unsolved matter for thousands of years

The three methods mentioned by the minister are complementary to each other, that is, corn and potatoes have enough grain to grow, and they must try their best to promote planting; Second, improve the growth habits of various crops and increase yields. For example, in Kannai Province, it is possible to plant one season of wheat and one season of corn and wheat after the autumn harvest and harvest it in the summer of the following year. Corn is planted after the wheat is harvested, and the harvest is around Mid-Chuk. Of course, this wheat must be hardy, which can be improved; Third, the improvement of agricultural tools, now the people cultivate and harvest, most of them are manpower, and before there was no curved plow, cultivation was even more difficult. Why not improve the tools; Fourth, a teacher of the minister once said that there is a kind of rice in Linyi, which only needs to be sown, and one mu is at least five stones or more, and no one cares about it at all. The rice there can be harvested three times a year; Fifth, the imperial court sent people to lead the people to build ditches and dig ditches. The water is directly brought to the ground, making irrigation more convenient and faster for the people. ”

Li Er looked at Ding Yi quietly, but there was a turbulent wave in his heart

Needless to say, the entire court is trying their best to promote this matter.

Improve seeds, two crops a year or one season of wheat and one season of corn

Improving farm implements, although there will be actions in this regard, is ineffective

Linyi can have three crops of rice a year, and it only needs to be sown in the ground

It is understandable to build ditches and dig ditches, but it is very difficult to bring water to the ground

However, if the five points mentioned by Ding Yi can be done, it can indeed greatly improve the problem of food in Datang today, and it can even be said that there will be no shortage of food at all

"What you said about Lin Yi, can you take it seriously" Li Er still couldn't believe it.

"The reputation of dozens of teachers who are subordinate to the minister"

How can there be a feeling of unreliability, although this is the case, Li Er is also interested in Linyi's rice

"Your Majesty, there is no shortage of food, so it's time to talk about taxes" The previous words were just to pave the way for what he was about to say

Li Er didn't have the heart to listen at this time, he was thinking about Lin Yi's affairs, thinking about what Datang would do after he was no longer short of food

"Your Majesty," Ding Yi called softly.

No response

"Your Majesty" raised his voice

"Hmm" Li Er was pulled back from his fantasy by Ding Yi and said, "How"

“”

What the minister just said was only the first half, and he didn't want to say it later, "If you can hide from it, Ding Yi really doesn't want to say it."

Li Er suddenly threw away his illusions, he also wanted to hear Ding Yi's opinions

"You say"

"Well, let's just say that if the first of the five points above is done. Then the people are not short of food, and they have to think about how to improve the quality of life."

"When farming is convenient, people have leisure time to do other things such as work, earn some money, and if they have money, they need to buy all kinds of things to improve their quality of life. At this time, the role of the merchants came out, and I believe that His Majesty knows better than the ministers, "It is impossible for Li Er, who can come up with the idea of exempting tariffs and allowing foreign goods to gather the population, so as to increase the population."

"And at that time, Your Majesty can imagine the extent to which the domestic trade in goods will prosper, and will the imperial court still rely on the hard-working people to support the imperial court's taxes?"

"If the businessmen pay taxes, can they raise the country's taxes, so that they can also reduce the burden on the people, and the people have less burdens, can they do more other things such as work, business, and study?"

It's a chain reaction, and it's not like it's all going to follow that. It can be done synchronously

"Your Majesty, since you have talked about this, the minister has to talk about the topic of Shinong Industry and Commerce."

"Relying on the free cultivation of the people alone cannot completely solve the problem of food shortage, and the improvement of agricultural tools is indispensable, is it necessary for the imperial court to list craftsmen as untouchables, and the people only know that they have money to go to study, and then become officials, and who will improve the weapons, tools, etc."

"Most of the merchants are people who forget their righteousness, but the development of the country is indispensable to the flow of goods promoted by these merchants, without them, do you want the imperial court to distribute and transport goods?"

"Minister, that's all about the minister's humble opinion, there is something inappropriate, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me" I am a small staff member of a small company, and I actually started a strategist in this Tang Dynasty, making suggestions for the development of the country, and I am also big-hearted

Li Er no longer underestimates Ding Yi at this time, and he can say that these people who are Taoists should not be underestimated

And some of his insights are something that even I can't think of

What is the place that cultivates such a person?

Li Er had already kept what Ding Yi said in his heart, and he had to think about it carefully

Even in his heart, he had a bold idea
