Li Shimin was very troubled, the Turkic affairs made him very excited, after all, this is an excellent opportunity, if he misses it, he doesn't know when he will go, but the treasury is empty, and now it is a problem for him to eat by himself, and the use of the palace has been repeatedly reduced.

If you want to send troops, you must first have financial resources, food, whether these things are available in the Tang Dynasty, of course, but they are not in the hands of him, the emperor, the family has a long history, for example, their Li family is a family of door valves, and it is precisely because of this background that they get this world.

But now Li Shimin's troublesome things are also the family, most of the food is in the hands of these large and small families, and the same is true for money, the business families in this world occupy seven of them, and the other three are those of other small families.

Li Shimin wanted to ask the family for it, but he knew that once he opened his mouth, it would be even more difficult to control these worlds, and they would definitely put forward conditions, and even stretch out their hands to the army, and then it would be difficult for the Li family to talk about the world.

"Hey, it's a rare opportunity... It's a rare opportunity. When Li Shimin was in the harem, he sighed even when he faced his queen, which made the queen very distressed.

"Your Majesty, if it's so difficult, it's better to raise taxes."

"No, there must be no tax increases, the people in the world are the time to recuperate, last year after a long rain and floods the people were displaced, and this year there was a drought, this is a famine year, and a long drought will give birth to locusts, if the tax is raised at this time, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos again."

This is what Li Shimin is most worried about, and if he forcibly sends troops now, he will have to face the disaster at home and the war outside at the same time.

"Your Majesty, although the concubine is only a woman, she also knows the severity, the world is naturally not allowed to increase the people's taxes, the concubine means to increase the business tax, now there are more and more businesses in Chang'an City, the daily transaction volume is very high, if more taxes are drawn from it, it can also subsidize the treasury."

Empress Changsun's words made Li Shimin feel like a large skylight, that's right, the largest east and west markets in Chang'an City are full of people coming and going every day, and the transaction volume is huge, and most of the people who consume in it are children of the family.

The common people don't have the money to enjoy the orchid wine and rare treasures inside, so it won't hurt the interests of the people to draw heavy taxes from it, as for those Hu Chamber of Commerce will not stop coming to Chang'an because the profits are thinned, Li Shimin feels that there is no need to worry, Datang has everything they want.

"Guanyin is right, maybe it's really feasible." Li Shimin nodded, a smile on his face.

·····

The palace was discussing the matter of collecting taxes, but Chen Mo was busy with farming at home, the land was upgraded, and he developed two more plots of land, and now radish is not the only product.

After the land upgrade of the farm, new seeds finally appeared in the mall, pasture carrots, corn, rice, Chinese cabbage... And so on and so on, Chen Mo's heart was full of joy when he saw it, and he had gnawed on radishes for more than a month, and his mouth was now talking with a radish smell.

Chen Mo didn't plant this thing, because he didn't have horses, this thing came from livestock feed, maybe those who would need it, they had mounts, and Chen Mo was very sure that this thing would definitely be the most beneficial after it was planted, but he just didn't want to plant it, and he didn't want to plant things that people couldn't eat.

Therefore, Chen Mo chose Chinese cabbage and rice, peppers and other vegetables, fortunately, these lands can not only be planted together, after reasonable arrangement, he can plant all the things he chooses, and the advantage of having a space is that he can enjoy the joy of harvest at all times.

Chen Mo smiled after seeing the rice that came out of the warehouse was white flowers, as a southerner, he hadn't eaten rice for a long time, and he wanted to eat rice in the era of the Tang Dynasty... I'm afraid it will only be available in Lingnan.

After taking out the rice, Chen Mo called the cook and asked him to take out the pot and start cooking rice in the yard, stir-fry some Chinese cabbage and carrots, shredded radish as the base, plus two catties of fried beef, and a small beef wok... Is it illegal to eat beef? This beef was sent by Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, and it is said that their family fell to death and the cow had this beef, how could they break the law.

Compared with the cows that often fall to death in the family of Su Guogong, only a few of them fall to death in the family of the Duke of Yiguo, and no one will investigate these things at all.

In fact, this is completely Qin Qiong's behavior of repaying the favor, because Chen Mo gave his housekeeper some radish, and the deficit in his body after eating the radish actually replenished well, anyway, Qin Shubao himself felt very good, Qin Shubao was fine, the Qin family was happy, and Qin Huaiyu, who was at both ends of the two ends, ran to Chen Mo's house in less than three days.

However, Chen Mo seriously suspected that this kid came to his house to eat, because every time he came, he came in a hurry, and he couldn't cook at noon this time.

Chen Mo smiled and praised his wit.

Outside Pingkangfang, Qin Huaiyu came to Chen Mo's shop again, in fact, he was quite embarrassed these days, every time he came to Chen Mo's house for dinner, every time he caught up with Chen Mo to eat, in fact, he didn't want to eat, but it was difficult to be gracious... Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but swallow his saliva after thinking of the taste of the meal, his previous thoughts were really not convincing.

"I'm coming at noon today, so I won't be able to make it to dinner... Right? When he entered the door, he saw Chen Mo burying the pot and cooking, and Chen Mo was stunned when he heard someone's footsteps and looked back.

Big brother, you are interfering in my house, why did you come so accurately? I've deliberately avoided breakfast and dinner, okay?

"Ahem, it's pure coincidence... Goo... Qin Huaiyu clutched his stomach in embarrassment, and the next words couldn't go on.

"Alright, let's stay and eat together." Chen Mo smiled and shook his head and said, in fact, he really didn't dislike Qin Huaiyu, on the contrary, he felt that this person was quite interesting, unlike other gentlemen.

"Brother Chen, I'm here to play with you!! Wow, it's so fragrant, Brother Chen, you're ready to eat again, but I happened to be hungry when I didn't eat lunch, hehe... (≧▽≦)/”

As soon as Qin Huaiyu sat down, there was another person at the door, and the only one who could shout like this was Fang Jun, a snack goods.

"Okay, okay, come in, find a place to cook it yourself, I need to add some food." Chen Mo found that there might not be enough food.

"Brother Chen, I brought good things, the good wine stolen from the house, I heard that His Majesty gave it to my father, and I came out, let's drink a pot today! Brother Qin, you can also do something. ”
