Chapter 115: Donating Family Resources

Today is the earliest day for Chen Feng to get up after coming to Datang, and it is also the earliest day to go out.

Yin went out at three o'clock, arrived at the palace gate at seven o'clock, the palace gate was opened at this time, only rows of carriages were neatly placed at the palace gate, and the little guys who drove the car were sitting on the board bored and chatting, the content was nothing more than complaining about getting up early, or chatting about which girl was good-looking.

Chen Feng sat in the carriage and listened to the loud talk outside, perhaps able to hear some interesting news from it.

There is not much news, and there are indeed a few that are useful.

Today's court should be the most complete in recent days, after all, Chen Feng had already returned half of Li Shimin's court to him yesterday evening, and the civil and military officials are the real civil and military officials.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, looking at the ministers below who had calmed down a lot, the joy in his heart was not revealed, but he had a little more complicated feelings for Chen Feng, these people have been by his side for more than ten years, and the short ones have been for a year or two, and he has never tamed them, and now he has only stayed in Chen Feng's hands for three days, and he has reached such a level!

If he hadn't seen their situation with his own eyes, he was afraid that he would have to wonder if his humerus minister had been replaced by Chen Feng.

Even though I feel emotional, I haven't forgotten the serious things.

"Your Majesty, if there is a great drought today, the people will lose their crops, and they are afraid that they will not be hungry, so please make a decision as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, the war has been overturned, and the treasury is empty, which is no longer enough to support the opening of the warehouse and the release of grain and relief for the people."

"Your Majesty, the livelihood of the people is the foundation of the country, Your Majesty once said in person, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light, that is, the treasury is empty, and the people should not be treated harshly."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded, "Regarding the emptiness of the treasury, do you have a clever plan?" This statement is equivalent to admitting that the people should not be treated harshly, which implies that the warehouse should be opened and the grain should be released.

"This ......"

"Your Majesty, in previous years, most of the revenue of the treasury came from the people's taxes." In this way, if you want the national treasury to be full, you must first increase taxes, right?

"What Aiqing means is to increase the people's poll tax, land tax and land rent?" Hearing this, Li Shimin's body began to exude low pressure, and he just said that filling the treasury at this time was to avoid mistreating the people, but someone immediately proposed to increase taxes.

Is the premise of not treating the people harshly first? Taken from the people for the people? It may not be possible to take it from the people and then use it for the people!

"The minister doesn't dare, but there is no other way for the minister."

"There is no way to retreat, don't be embarrassed here!" Li Shimin shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a plan." At this moment, Yu Wenshi walked out of the crowd and knelt in the center.

"Quasi-play!"

Yu Wenshi paused for a moment before he spoke, "Your Majesty is willing to donate half of the family's silver money of 200,000 taels to fill the treasury. ”

Yu Wenshi's tone was light, but this just showed that Yu Wenshi and his assets were abundant, and half of his family assets were 200,000 taels.

"Good!" Li Shimin praised it vigorously, "Yuwen Love is selfless, has the world in mind, is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, I feel what Yuwen Aiqing has done, and today I will give Yuwen Aiqing a gold medal to avoid death, and be the hereditary Marquis of Zhongming, and give Yuwen Aiqing a thousand tilts of good land to comfort Yuwen Aiqing's heart." ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Yu Wenshi and feigned excitement, and knocked his head on the ground.

"Yuwen Aiqing, please hurry up, I should thank Yuwen Aiqing for the people of the world." Li Shimin said politely, and then called, "Historian, record this matter word for word, I want future generations to learn to emulate Yuwen Aiqing's behavior and work for the benefit of the people of the world." ”

"Yes!" The historian had already taken a pen and recorded it in his booklet at this time, even if Li Shimin did not say it, he would also record it word for word at this time, confiscate it with his family assets, and save the people of the world from fire and water.

At this time, the hundred officials were also shocked by the emperor's and Yu Wenshi's generosity, and they reacted a little untimely for a while, but they also reacted after the record of the holy order historian.

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to put half of the family's silver money into the treasury."

"Good!" Li Shimin was also overjoyed, and then said, "Reward, Count Feng Zhongyi, ten jars of imperial wine, and thousands of good fields." ”

It's not that Li Shimin deliberately treats them differently, but the death-free gold medal means that he can do anything wrong, after all, having a death-free gold medal means an extra life, Li Shimin has to guard against it, and this person is a drunkard, rewarding him with ten jars of imperial wine is the best reward in his heart, and Li Shimin is also painstaking for this.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to donate half of the family funds to the treasury!"

"Your Majesty's ......"

Subsequently, there was a wave of donations of family property into the treasury among the civil and military officials, in this regard, Li Shimin naturally liked to see it, only waved his hand, everywhere one by one "reward", naturally, only the first two, a duke, an earl, the back only rewarded some material things, and the later the reward was smaller.

All of a sudden, everyone scrambled to be the first, although the backward people were unwilling in their hearts, but His Majesty's sentence "Historian, write down all the pomp and circumstance of today, and I want to be such a loyal, filial piety, benevolent and righteous official to be passed down through the ages" forced them to obey.

After everyone finally expressed their "hearts" to the emperor one after another, they could be regarded as quiet, and Li Shimin called Yuwen Shiji's name, "Yuwen Aiqing, you are fully responsible for this matter, and all ministries will listen to your orders, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Obey Your Majesty's will and dare not make mistakes."

"It's just chaotic when I think about it, Yuwen Aiqing didn't take the hearts of all the adults to heart, so I ordered the historian to cooperate with you, don't miss any Aiqing's love for the people."

"Yes!"

In this way, it can be regarded as a chill in everyone's hearts, I thought that Yu Wenshi didn't know how much they had just said, and maybe there would be a slight omission, but now it seems that it can only be pinned on the historian.

But the historian's pen, they dare not underestimate, after all, this group of people is the most difficult to ignore in the court, their pen, even if it is recorded on the emperor's body, will not leave a little affection, not to mention that they are full of civil and military affairs, or the emperor ordered not to omit a word, if you want to take advantage of the loophole, it is even more difficult.

"Your Majesty, the minister has this music!" But I saw Du Ruhui walking out of the queue and kneeling in front of him.
