Chapter 643: The Aspirations of the People (2)

Jianghuai Dao got the news late because it was far away from Chang'an, and in other places, they were also very excited when they heard that the imperial court had ordered the Qingmiao money to be exempted.

Qingmiao Qian is a surcharge tax levied by the government in the middle of the Tang Dynasty when Miao was young. After Tang Suzong, he used troops for many years, and the treasury was empty, so that he could not issue official salaries. In the second year of Daizong Guangde (764), it was stipulated that a tax of 15 wen per mu of seedlings was levied for the issuance of official salaries and additional taxes for the fields.

In the back, it rose to 35 wen per mu, and it is gradually increasing.

When Li Ye ascended the throne, the Qingmiao money had risen to 100 wen per mu.

This is when Li Yi was in power, in order to relieve the financial pressure, it rose to this value.

After Li Ye ascended the throne, there has been no change, but such a high amount of green seedling money does have a lot of pressure on the people.

"This grandpa, why are you two old people of such age plowing the fields, your son?"

Beside the official road outside Tongzhou City, looking at the surrounding barren farmland, only some older people are heavier, and this is basically the case along the way.

Li Ye naturally had some doubts about this phenomenon, so he asked the convoy to stop and came to the two old couples who were busy to ask.

"This little Langjun is from a big family, right?" The old man looked at Li Ye's clothes and the dozens of servants and guards around him, hurriedly put down the farm tools in his hand, and asked tentatively.

In fact, Li Ye and his entourage are indeed dressed like this, except for Li Ye, Liu Chenyan and Li You and others are all in civilian clothes, and even the soldiers of the prison guards have covered up the clothes and swords on their bodies.

So in the eyes of ordinary people, it is the son of a large family who takes his family out for spring.

"Sort of, grandpa won't dare to say it because of his identity." Li Ye said with a smile.

Xiao Langjun laughed, in fact, this is not inconvenient to say. Lao Yu actually had three sons, but Da Lang died when Huang Chao hit Guanzhong; Jiro joined the army a few years ago and is said to be a forbidden army; The third child is studying in the city and only comes back once a month.

So there are old couples and a few daughters-in-law and grandchildren in the family. The old man said with a smile.

"Didn't I hear that the imperial court ordered the exemption of Qingmiao's money, and grandpa's family should be able to bear less burden in the future, right?" Thinking of the exemption of Qingmiao's money, Li Ye couldn't help but mention it.

"Seedlings money? It is also the first good deed that the Holy God has done since he ascended the throne! ”

Hearing the tone and content of the old man's words, Zhang Wei, Pei Rong, Li Jian and others were a little dissatisfied, but they were glared at by Li Ye before they shrank back.

The old man also noticed the reaction of Zhang Wei and the others, but he didn't think much about it, and continued, "Although Qingmiao doesn't have much money, it's not bad to get rid of it, and you can save a lot of money in a year." ”

"Grandpa, you are busy first, and you have to rush to the state city in a hurry here, so you won't bother Grandpa." After roughly understanding some things, Li Ye had no intention of continuing to stay here.

"Xiao Langjun is polite!"

After Li Ye and his party left, the old man looked at the car, a little envious, and then smiled, "This little Langjun is quite gentle, just like San Lang." But it would be nice if San Lang could be the same as this Xiao Langjun in the future. ”

。。。。。。

"Father, can we play here?"

As Li You, who grew up in the palace since he was sensible, he felt very novel when he saw these things outside, and he was full of curiosity about everything. Recommended ReadingTV//

"Yan'er, you take You'er over there to play, don't run too far."

Looking at the surrounding environment, Li Ye pointed to an open place and commanded. However, he didn't have many people with him, so it was inconvenient to walk too far.

This time, I actually went to Tongzhou to stay for a while.

Originally, it was recommended to go to Huaqing Palace, but Li Ye felt that it was too close, so he chose Tongzhou, which was a little farther away.

There also happens to be a middle pasture here, but it is a royal ranch for raising horses for the royal family, so it is a good place to play for a while.

And Tongzhou is also close to Chang'an!

"Along the way, I found out that there are a few middle-aged men in the Guanzhong area." Li Ye said with emotion.

Along the way, most of the people who worked in the fields were old or women, and there were few young men.

The reason for this also made Li Ye's mood a little heavy.

The situation in the family of the uncle I met before was quite good, and most of the other families had no men, and they basically died in the war.

"Your Majesty, these are not caused by Your Majesty, Your Majesty does not have to blame yourself. It was all because of the previous Huangchao disaster, which caused the young and strong to be forcibly conscripted into the army, and the back of the Guanzhong has been in turmoil, and a large number of young and strong people have died in the war, so this situation will occur. Pei Rong explained.

"Pei Aiqing doesn't have to defend me, many people have also died in several battles since I ascended the throne, and I still have some responsibilities.

It seems that in the next few years, if you can avoid the war, you can avoid it, at least it can't be on the scale of this quelling of the Zhuwen rebellion.

There are still two taxes, and it seems that they have to be reduced, and it is still a little difficult to just exempt the seedlings money. Li Ye said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister has some opinions." Li Jian on the side said suddenly.

"Say, there's no one else here!"

"Your Majesty, in fact, in the eyes of the minister, Your Majesty can already be regarded as a Ming Jun. On holidays, Your Majesty will definitely be able to become an emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. TV debut

But the two taxes and money, although the minister is not familiar with the situation of the household department, but in the minister's opinion. If the seedling money is cancelled for a short period of time, and then the two taxes are lowered, it is easy for the people to have a bad mentality.

Moreover, if there are too many reductions and exemptions, it will also have a great impact on the revenue of the national treasury. ”

"I didn't expect Li Aiqing to know a lot about these!" Li Ye smiled faintly.

"The minister just learned about it when he was idle, and His Majesty praised it." Li Jian said cautiously.

"The brocade guard is in your hand, but it's okay, and it didn't disappoint me. However, I heard about something, saying that it was Zhu Wen's favorite concubine in front of him, called Zhuozhuo, who was sent by Jinyiwei.

It is said that the woman in the back was also executed by Zhu Wen? Li Ye asked suddenly.

Li Jian was shocked, not knowing how the saint knew about this, and hurriedly said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. This person was indeed sent out by the Jinyi Guard, but this woman did not obey the command behind her, and she did not listen to the command until the situation between the court and the rebels became clear, but why she was executed by Zhu Wen, the minister was not very clear.

At that time, the situation in Bianzhou was chaotic, and many of Jinyiwei's spies were affected and suffered great losses, and the person in charge of Jinyiwei in Bianzhou was also killed.

It's just that I didn't expect this incident to alarm Your Majesty, and the minister is guilty! ”
