Sun Xiangfu has a lot of explanations for the entire financial system, Ma Yiyi wrote down, this knowledge, any ordinary person in later generations can roughly understand, people in this period, but completely black-eyed, of course, such a big action, is not Li Shimin and a few ministers have a meal, chatting a day to make a decision, from putting forward the idea, to the formulation of rules, specific implementation, there is a long process.

But no matter what, Sun Xiangfu gave a very satisfactory plan for how to solve the problem of money shortage in the imperial court and the market, how to reform the minister's system, and how to implement the citizenship system.

After that, the ministers did not let Sun Xiangfu specialize in the front, Li Shimin said before, what we are discussing today is how to do the government affairs work in front, then, Ma Zhou, who has been studying the governance of Shanyang, has something to say, first of all, he said the work of water control.

He expressed absolute support for Sun Xiangfu's previous idea of changing the criminal law, planting a large number of trees, and preventing soil erosion, and the reason he used to persuade the minister was vulgar, which was the original words in Sun Xiangfu's letter to him.

It means that one person by one, if you pee into the loess, the urine will wash away the loess, but if you pee in the grass or shrubs, the urine can not wash away the soil, it can be seen that afforestation, rich vegetation, can prevent soil erosion, we can not wait until the flood to get up, then think about how to relieve the disaster, but should be through the means that these people can do, to prevent the birth of disasters, to firmly believe that manpower can win the sky.

This kind of peeing scene, as a man who is sitting down, who doesn't know, suddenly felt reasonable, and then, Li Shimin said that this plan must be agreed on immediately and arrested as soon as possible.

Subsequently, the eldest grandson Wuji put forward the tax reform, this year, the tax generated by the Yangzhou bean sauce workshop exceeded 500,000 yuan, which was higher than the salt tax in the past of Datang, which is still only one aspect, plus the commercial tax of Shanyang, Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other places, the overall tax of Datang, the commercial tax actually accounted for more than half.

He suggested that the government should abolish the control of the salt industry and allow private operations, which has the advantage of transferring all the officials of the entire salt administration to manage the commercial tax, because with the implementation of some of Sun Xiangfu's suggestions, the commercial tax of the Tang Dynasty will definitely grow rapidly, and the growth will be large, and it will not work if there are not enough people to be responsible for the tax.

Li Shimin will naturally not oppose such a suggestion, he is most enthusiastic about hiding the wealth from the people, and the reason why the ancient government strictly controls salt is because salt is a human necessity, and there are not many production areas, so it is easy to collect taxes in this regard, and now, there are other taxes instead of salt, so there is no need to be entangled in this kind of daily necessities for the people, anyway, there is salted fish and bean paste, and I am not afraid that someone will engage in any salt monopoly, treat it as an ordinary commodity, and collect a little transaction tax, so that at least the people will eat salt cheaper.

Later, there were Xiao Yu and Gao Shilian proposed some ways to make the imperial court operation system simpler and more efficient, Li Jing and Du Ruhui proposed some new sergeant management, training methods, etc., Li Shimin agreed one by one, and a meal was eaten directly from noon to dusk, however, Sun Xiangfu was still not released from the palace by Li Shimin, but pulled him to the city wall for a walk to eat, of course, in fact, I wanted to talk to Sun Xiangfu.

"Since ancient times, they have all been noble China, cheap and cheap, and I love them as one, and I can't imagine that Zhengming, who was born in the border of Youzhou, is the same as what I think in my heart." Li Shimin was drunk for six or seven minutes, and was blown by the cold wind on the palace wall, and suddenly felt comfortable, and said with some sighs.

In fact, Sun Xiangfu doesn't remember much information about the original owner of this body until now, of course, what Li Shimin means when he says this Sun Xiangfu knows that confidants are rare! Now that he is almost twenty years old, Li Shimin no longer calls him a brat, he wants to talk to him openly and honestly.

"Your Majesty, the more people in the border areas, the more they know the value of peace, however, the integration of the nation is not a matter of day and night, the ministers use interests to lead the contradictions between the Tang Dynasty and the family to the outside of the border, they are not now like it in their hearts, accept those Hu people, everything, just because of the interests driven, want to achieve real integration, how difficult it is."

In fact, Sun Xiangfu said that the contradiction between the court and the family was led to outside the Guan, not necessarily, the contradiction has always existed, but Li Shimin helped him wipe his buttocks, for example, he encouraged the family to move a large number of serfs outside the Guan, if it wasn't for Li Shimin's good internal affairs, the people in Guannei, and I don't know how many families have become serfs of the family.

With a good strategy, you also need the support of Mingjun, one thing can be done well, now, Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu's doubles play is not bad, there are no internal problems, the external situation is very good, and the future prospects are promising.

"Well, you're right, ethnic integration is not such a simple thing, from the chaos at the end of the Jin Dynasty to the present hundreds of years, there are several ethnic groups that have truly integrated into the Han nation! We have a long way to go! ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded, and replied with a firm look in his eyes, "No matter how far the road is, we have to go step by step, if it doesn't work in ten years, it will take a hundred years, if it doesn't work every year, it will take a thousand years, as long as it is consistent, one day, it can be achieved." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he looked at Sun Xiangfu with appreciation, "What you said is good, as long as you are consistent, one day, it can be realized." If you have any strategy in mind to promote national integration, you can say that, and if it is feasible, I will follow it. ”

It seems that Li Shimin still thinks that Sun Xiangfu has not poured enough beans, Sun Xiangfu thought about it in his mind, but said, "In fact, there is no coincidence, in addition to what the previous minister said, in addition to increasing cultural and educational propaganda, Your Majesty can also move around with them more, isn't there a saying among the people, called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors?" If you often go to those ethnic minorities, you will naturally deepen the relationship with them, and if, in the process of walking, you send them some daily necessities, good medicine, etc., can they not be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness? ”

"Hehe, you kid is nice, my treasury can still starve rats to death! What did you give to them? Li Shimin smiled helplessly. Who doesn't want to be a good emperor who scatters wealth everywhere and collects the hearts of the people! The premise is that you have to have money to scatter!

Sun Xiangfu said with a smile when he heard this, "The matter of money, in fact, Your Majesty does not have to worry, Datang is now in trouble, and in the next two or three years, the economic situation will definitely be very good, and it will be okay to spend a little in advance, and besides, have you forgotten what the minister told you before?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Our Datang will produce a large amount of cotton next year, and the cotton cloth produced will greatly impact the linen and silk markets, and now, these upcoming reforms will make cash transactions become the mainstream of the market, which will make the original linen cloth and silk produced by my Datang more cheap, if you don't take precautions early, when the time comes, domestic goods will enter a vicious circle of price drops, cheap, but those Hu merchants who have trade relations with our Datang."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, Sun Xiangfu's letter to him, he read it very carefully, and he also showed it to Ma Zhou for analysis, but so far, he only thought of reducing hemp planting and transforming those farmers who planted hemp in advance, but he didn't think about how to deal with the large amount of inventory on the Datang market.

After all, there is less silk, with the economic development of Datang, there will be more people who use it, and the price will not fall sharply, the most important thing is hemp cloth, for now, more than ninety percent of the people's clothes in Datang are linen fabrics, and the reserves made by the people are very much.

For the regulation and control of prices, Li Shimin also had a black eye, no ancient person would encounter this kind of situation from insufficient production capacity to overcapacity all of a sudden, so he looked at Sun Xiangfu with an inquiring gaze.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that you tour the north after spring ploughing next year."

"Northern Tour? Do? Li Shimin was a little stunned by Sun Xiangfu's sudden suggestion.

"Of course, it's to send clothes and fabrics to the people of our Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate! It is best to send it even to the people of Xue Yantuo's department, free of charge, so that we can put our domestic output relatively large and cheap linen cloth to use. ”

The population of the Tang Dynasty is not large, with the large planting of cotton next year, such an obsolete product as linen will inevitably be useless, but the imperial court can not sit idly by and watch the people suffer, buy it up, and take it to the north to buy the hearts of the people, it is a good choice, as for the Lingnan people, they need more cool silk to wear on their bodies.

"I am happy to eat this loss, but can the court afford it?"

Li Shimin figured out the key point of Sun Xiangfu's words, and immediately felt that this proposal was very reliable! If he gave two pieces of linen summer clothes for free to all the Turks, Hui people, and even the surrendered Xue Yantuo people when he toured the north, those people would definitely be very grateful to themselves, the clothes are not like food, they have eaten it, it can be worn for a long time, but he is still a little worried about the finances of the imperial court, after all, in the warehouse of the imperial court, there may still be dead rats!

"Don't worry about the court all the time, no, get the free cabinet shop immediately, don't you have money to spend, if not, you can find a loan from Shanyang cabinet! The Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei, together with the people of Xue Yantuo, has a population of less than two million! There are four million linen clothes, enough for you to send them, and it doesn't cost much.

Moreover, don't underestimate the matter of giving them clothes, if the clothes we send them are all the same as the short fights of our Han people when they work, it can also have an assimilation effect. ”

Four million pieces of hemp clothes, Sun Xiangfu dared to say that there is not much money, in Li Shimin's view, more than 10,000 guan is a big number, but in Sun Xiangfu's view, a few pennies can buy a linen short coat, even if it is four million pieces, it is only more than 20 million yuan, the emperor went to the north and sprinkled more than 20,000 yuan to distribute benefits to the people, isn't that a small KS, if the production capacity keeps up, he even wants the emperor to send a set of spring or autumn clothes to each person for free.

"Well, I think that with such a small amount of money, I don't need to borrow anything, so I'll leave it to you!" Li Shimin saw that Sun Xiangfu said so easily, and immediately smiled.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu really wanted to suck his mouth, and said in his heart, Second Brother Li, why hasn't your character changed! It's really easy to play like this without friends.

One accidentally, Sun Xiangfu threw out more than 20,000 yuan, but for him, who has many industries in Shanyang, it is just a few days' income, the important thing is that Li Shimin agreed to the northern tour, which is a huge benefit to the stability of the people of the capital of Anbei, and it is worth spending 20,000 yuan to do this.
