As soon as the emperor's words fell, although Yang Yan didn't say it verbally, he was almost crazy in his heart.

How so?

Obviously, the information I got was that Liu Yan would recommend Du Ya, but now he has gone off the rails and recommended Cui Ning, an old man, as the imperial doctor.

No, don't be anxious, my killer weapon is still behind, so Yang Yan calmed down and said loudly, "The minister has something to do." ”

"The minister also has something to do." Liu Yan also said.

Because the servant shoots the official position, the emperor asked Liu Yan to speak first.

Liu Yan said directly: "Now that the country has negotiated peace with the Western Tibet, the urgent task is to accumulate millet in the northwest and Guanzhong, recruit displaced people, increase the army, appease the internal relocation of the Qiang, and restore the desolate land, so that the west can be the western Tibet, and the east can shake the Guandong." After the minister judged the degree of support, the northwest of the school, Jiannan, Shannan West Road (this is the west of the Tang Dynasty, the original financial judgment of the degree of Han Rongguan) salt profits, a slight income - the northwest salt profits can be divided into two large pools, thirteen small pools, the two large pools are Anyi, Xie County two pools, the annual output of salt money is 800,000 yuan; Thirteen small ponds, that is, salt ponds scattered in the border areas of salt, Ling, Hui and other states, with an annual output of 150,000 or 60,000 yuan of salt; There are also Xichuan, Dongchuan, Shannan West Road, the so-called 'Sanchuan well salt', which can make an annual profit of 400,000 guan - the salt in the northwest pond has always been reserved for the Jingyuan, Shuofang, and Hedong armies to eat, and can not be transferred; The minister is willing to take a total of 1.2 million guan of salt from Erchi and Sanchuan as a surplus, and transfer it to Beijing and enter His Majesty's big surplus treasury. His Majesty can spend one-third of the annual expenditure on the border lands, especially in the Baili and Liangyuan of Jingzhou, and can set up 'Yuanzhou Xingzai' to open the camp Tianjuntun. ”

Hearing that Liu Yan was willing to send all the salt profits into his private treasure house, Li Shi's nerves, which had been tense, immediately loosened a little, "It seems that Liu Yan doesn't look like a member of the Han Wang Party, his remarks should be for the sake of me everywhere......"

So Li Shi asked Liu Yan: "From the point of view of servant shooting, who can go to Baili Tuntian?" ”

"Please use the Jingyuan Jiedu to make Duan Xiushi the camp field envoy, and the general judge of the military cantonment; In addition, Gao Yue was Duan Xiushi Confucius official in Jingzhou Tuntian, and once served as the judge of the grain and material of the Shen Ce Xing camp, and now he can be appointed to hang the constitutional title of serving the imperial history in the palace, and then enter the Jingyuan Shogunate to take a hundred miles of county order, and the original state line in the Zhu Fan Luo small envoy, the horse envoy, the camp field inspector, give the scarlet silverfish, open the army tun, set up a field, Fu Zhuqiang, two or three years later can get a big profit. ”

"What!" Hearing this, Yang Yan over there couldn't hold it anymore, and his beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but open.

Liu Yan once again proposed to set up a "Yuanzhou line" in the southern part of Jingzhou, which was to interfere with and sabotage his plan to "ask the Jingyuan army to build cities directly in Panyuan and Pingliang", because the Yuanzhou line was theoretically returned to the Jingyuan Jiedu envoys, and its role was to assist the Jingyuan army in the "war" with "farming". Liu Yan's plan was to first supply grain in Liangyuan and Bailitun, and then after the camps in Anxi and Beiting had sufficient logistics, they would march west to Panyuan, Danzheng Gorge, and Pingliang, and finally recover Fuzhou. This will take at least two or three years to come, and the gap between it and my plan is too big, and I will definitely have it without it, and there will be no self without it.

In addition, Liu Yan actually asked Gao Yue to be given a series of powers and made him the actual person in charge of Yuanzhou, which was especially unbearable for Yang Yan!

The order of the county of Celbaili is actually to grasp the administrative power of the entire "Yuanzhou Xingzai";

This "small" seems to be small, but in fact, in the Jingyuan area, the power to appease the Dangxiang tribe and open a field with Xifan and Dangxiang belongs to Gao Yue;

The conscription of horses is equivalent to giving Gao Yue the power to raise and transfer war horses;

In the end, Gao Yue is now only a mere seven-grade palace in the imperial history, still in the stage of "trying", and actually asked the emperor to give him a scarlet robe and a silverfish bag - Liu Yan's reason is also very sufficient, the purpose of giving the scarlet silverfish is to "strengthen the prestige of Gao Yue, show His Majesty's kindness, and shake the border Zhuqiang".

No, if the emperor agrees, then the merits of Jingyuan's management and border extension will not all belong to Gao Yue, and his recommender is Liu Yan, and there will be no star left for himself.

What made Yang Yan even more unacceptable was "Why is Liu Yan and Gao Yue so close, and why is it to promote Gao Yue's father-in-law, and to invite Gao Yue to be the camp inspector in Yuanzhou." Damn it! What did Gao Yue think, didn't he come to Baqiao Post to talk to me in the first place? ”

At this time, Yang Yan, who had already prepared properly, was becoming more and more confused, he didn't expect things to change.

However, Emperor Li Shi was thinking seriously, and seemed to be quite interested in Liu Yan's suggestion, Yang Yan was angry, he no longer swallowed warmly, but anxiously played the key hole cards in advance: "Your Majesty, please abolish the transfer envoys of Anyi, Xie County Erchi, Northwest Six Prefectures Bianchi and Sanchuanjing Salt, and please abolish Duzhi and transfer the second envoy!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace couldn't help but be in an uproar, and they all turned their eyes to Yang Yan.

Of course, the emperor had already had a tacit understanding with Yang Yan to some extent in advance, so he asked Yang Yan to express his thoughts in public.

Yang Yan calmed down, and then gushed out the idea of financial innovation:

"In the past, there were three main types of taxes, rent adjustment, household tax, and land tax.

Rent, that is, two stones per dining;

Tune, the hometown of sericulture, the class household loses two zhang of silk per ding, and three catties of hemp;

Yong, each household per year 20 days of labor, in the leap year plus 2 days, if not served, need to fold silk cloth to replace the service.

However, this rent and adjustment need to be based on the body, and the household tax and land tax are also based on the unified version of the household as the longitude and latitude.

However, during the Kaitian period, Emperor Xuanzong cultivated morality, and under the wide reign, the household department did not repair the book for many years, and Dingkou turned to death, the class household fled, the acres were transferred, and the rich and poor were not known. ”

What Yang Yan means is that the rent adjustment implemented in the early Tang Dynasty is outdated, for the simple reason that the basis of this tax lies in the "dingkou" (single) and "jiahu" (a family composed of many dings), and the more people in the Ding represents a wide tax base, and a wide tax base means more taxes. However, there is one of the biggest problems with the people, that is, they are all alive and mobile, so the Tang government wants to control them by doing everything possible to make these people pay taxes in time and in full, what is the magic weapon? Divide the fields into fields and yongye fields, divide the fields in the hands of the government to the people, let them work in the fields, and then register them in the edition books of the household department, and eat the rest after paying the taxes, and the fields and the fields correspond to each other.

However, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign governments, as ruling institutions, need to use various powers to maintain their operations, and then from these various powers, a locust-like "privileged class" is derived.
