Zhao Yuan came to Tang's house in the morning to complain to Tang Ning, saying that he was already studying "Zizhi Tongjian", that the book was more than an inch thick, a total of thirty volumes, and he had to read it for five years to finish it.

This is a good change, to some extent, Zizhi Tongjian is more than a grade higher than those enlightenment books, and more importantly, in Chen Guo, this book is the emperor's must-read list, as the crown prince, you need to understand the way of the emperor from this book.

Different people read the same book, and they have different feelings.

Some people have realized the method of strengthening the army, some people have realized the way of economic development, and some people have realized the art of balancing, which is a treasure, and what can be obtained from it depends on personal understanding.

On the road to seize the heir, Zhao Yuan was the latest to get on the car, but the speed was the fastest, especially when King Kang rolled over and King Duan broke down, he was the only one who galloped towards the frontmost position.

According to the current situation, the Tang family has fallen into the dust, and it is difficult to turn over, Zhao Yuan's side has actually declared victory in advance, with such huge resources, no one, including Emperor Chen, can change the future pattern of the Chen country.

The only difference is that the process of Emperor Chen's resignation and Zhao Yuan's ascension to the throne is peaceful or violent.

When it comes to studying, Tang Ning can't help him, he still has his own things to do.

When a monk hits a bell for a day, he hasn't left Chen after all, but what he will hit next is not a bell, but the squire magnates of Gyeonggi.

These people are not easy to mess with, the essence of feudal society is exploitation, everything is for the rulers, for the so-called superior magnates, they are the ruling class that the law serves.

Where there is rule, there is exploitation, and if the people are exploited too harshly, and their survival is threatened for a long time, they will rise up, and most of the changes of dynasties in history have come about in this way.

Therefore, the imperial court should prevent a large number of land annexations, and think about the poor people, so that it is inevitable to compete with the squires and magnates, and these people often have great energy, and will not let the court slaughter them, force them too hard, and the world will be chaotic.

It is not possible to advance, nor is it possible to retreat, this is embarrassing Tang Ning, and it is also embarrassing the king.

Shangshu Province, Tang Ning looked at King Huai and asked, "Does Your Highness have a good idea?" ”

King Huai sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "Father asked this king to assist Lord Tang, and this king listens to Lord Tang." ”

King Huai is very similar to Tang Ning, that is, he is lazy, he can sit and never stand, he can lie down and never sit, if there is a more comfortable posture than lying down, Tang Ning thinks he will not choose to lie down.

If someone can make decisions for him, he will never use his brain.

"Otherwise, ......" Tang Ning looked at him and said: "We might as well enforce the new tax law, who dares to disobey, trouble His Highness to take someone to raid their home, one does not copy one, ten does not copy ten, kill the chicken and monkey, kill one and make an example, what does Your Highness think?" ”

"Ahem......" King Huai coughed lightly, wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth, put down the teacup, and said, "This is not good......

Tang Ning said: "How is this not good, it's simple and simple, and there will be one more input from the treasury, why not?" ”

"Violence is not the solution to the problem, if you press it too hard, I am afraid that it will cause a civil uprising, and it will not end at that time, and it will be difficult for Lord Tang and this king to escape punishment." King Huai shook his head and said, "Let's think of another way." ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Then may I ask Your Highness what other clever methods are there?" ”

"Take a step back, each." King Huai knew that he couldn't do anything about himself anymore, thought about it, and said: "Cancel a part of the unreasonable tax items and leave a part, so that we can explain to the imperial court, and we will not force those squires and magnates to be too ruthless......"

Tang Ning glanced at King Huai, his method was a compromise method, if it was used properly, it would not have caused too much backlash from the squire and magnates, if he had taken it out earlier, Duan Wang, who had taken over the matter, would not have been impeached into a sieve by the squire magnates who represented the interests of the landlords......

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "When did His Highness come up with this method?" ”

Huai Wang said: "I had an idea, I just came up with it." ”

Tang Ning didn't dismantle him, just shook his head and said: "Your Highness is too much to take it for granted, what Your Majesty wants is a thorough tax reform, not a mud, and His Highness can be sure that those people will take half a step back?" ”

King Huai smiled: "This king is willing to listen to Lord Tang's high opinion." ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder if Your Highness has ever heard such a sentence?" ”

King Huai said: "I want to hear about it." ”

Tang Ning said: "There is a philosopher who once said that people always like to reconcile and compromise, for example, you say, this house is too dark, you must open a window here, everyone must not allow it, but if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and are willing to open the window......"

"What does Lord Tang mean......" King Huai's eyes flashed, and he said: "First set a condition that they can't accept, let them compromise and achieve our goal......"

Tang Ning said: "Your Highness is really smart......

King Huai smiled: "The smart one is Lord Tang......"

He looked at Tang Ning and asked, "What conditions does Lord Tang want to offer?" ”

Tang Ning said: "It's very simple, cancel the poll tax, and collect taxes according to the land......"

King Huai's expression froze, his face changed slightly, and he asked, "Is Lord Tang serious?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Of course." ”

In the state of Chen, including all dynasties, the practice was to collect taxes on a per capita basis, and there was no big difference between the taxes paid on the land by a family of three who owned ten acres of land and the powerful and wealthy families who owned thousands of acres of fertile land.

The gentry and magnates, who owned a large amount of land, did not need to pay the taxes corresponding to their large amount of land, and in the long run, the tax revenue of the state treasury would drop sharply, so the imperial court had been trying all kinds of ways to avoid land annexation, but with little success.

Taxation not according to the head, but according to the land, can solve this problem once and for all, but it is bound to face great opposition from these beneficiaries, and when the time comes, the state of Chen will be in chaos, and no one wants to bear such consequences.

Tang Ning looked at King Huai and said: "Whether to collect taxes according to land or streamline the tax system, I believe they will make the right choice, but in this matter, one person needs to sing red face and black face......

King Huai smiled and said, "This king likes to sing red-faced. ”

Tang Ning sighed and said, "Unfortunately, this official also likes to sing red-faced. ”

He had a sad look on his face and said, "Then what should I do, there is always someone who wants to sing the ...... of blackface"

King Huai looked at him and asked, "Why don't you ......?"

Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Yes." ”

……

Households.

Hubu Shangshu sat in Shangshu Ya, leisurely sipping tea, revising the tax law was originally a matter of the Hubu, but there were too many people to be offended in this matter, His Majesty understood the Hubu, and handed over this tricky matter to Dingguo Hou and Huaiwang, the two most outstanding young men in the dynasty, greatly reducing his burden.

No one knows better than him how much resistance he needs to face to promote this matter, and the Marquis of Dingguo and King Huai are still too young.

Qian Shuo shook his head and said with a smile: "It's really a newborn calf......"

He took a sip of tea, picked up a fold on the table, and turned a page.

Burst!

The tea in Qian Shuo's mouth all squirted out, his complexion changed greatly, and after standing in place for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Two little foxes!" ”
