As for those families, even if they are lending, they don't dare to come out to oppose it at this time, otherwise they will become vampires and be targeted by everyone, so even if they hate it in their hearts, they have to agree with a smile on their faces.

"There are more and more workshops, taxes must be strictly controlled, and the supervision of small officials must also be strengthened, and taxes must not be lost, nor can they be collected indiscriminately. Li Shimin attaches more and more importance to the money bag, and now he has tasted the sweetness of the abundance at hand, and wants to repair the palace and repair the palace, using the gold and silver of the inner treasury, and there is no imperial history to talk nonsense, so he is naturally in a comfortable mood, and it is impossible to live as tightly as before, and even the queen's skirt can't cover the instep.

"Obey the parable!" As the chief official, Fang Xuanling, Yu Wenshi and hurriedly got up to receive the order.

The minister proposed that the Ministry of Commerce re-customize the tax, and it must be notified to the world every year, or revised every few years, and not so that all goods can be determined according to the number of taxes, after all, the profits of each commodity are different, and expensive playthings should be characterized as luxury goods, and heavy taxes should be given, such as jewelry and jade.

For non-essential, exclusive goods, the tax should also be distinguished from items in demand by the general public, such as liquor and frosting. Feng Daiwen proposed.

After all, liquor, frosted sugar is not like salt tea, it is a must for the people, so it is natural to charge a little higher tax.

"Yes, the Ministry of Commerce will formulate a plan as soon as possible, and notify the whole country, every time there is an adjustment, it will be announced separately, and the Ministry of Law will formulate a law, which is a permanent precedent and shall not be canceled without reason in the future." Li Shimin agreed after a little thought, because this is also an obvious thing, not to lose the interests of the people, but to increase income, of course, is a good thing, and if it is a good thing, it must be implemented immediately.

Feng Daiwen never cared too much about offending the nobles, the landlord never cared too much, firstly, he belonged to half of the royal family, and secondly, the Feng family did not rely on that little money, and found one or two ways at will, which was enough for the Feng family to eat for several generations, it was really a last resort, and many big mines in the world remembered it clearly.

Although some people have lost their interests, there are also many people who have made a fortune, and it is also a matter of benefiting the country and the people.

"Spring ploughing is coming, you love Qing and put more thought, after spring ploughing, the Ministry of War began to expand the army, come up with a plan, see how much you need to increase, the minimum can not be less than 100,000 elite soldiers, 300,000 reserve soldiers, all ethnic groups in the Tang Dynasty, as appropriate, transfer young and strong to enlist in the army." Li Shimin made an order!

Obviously, even if there is no assassination, for Li Shimin, who is strong and has a strong army and a sufficient treasury, that warlike heart is not in peace, especially for Tuyuhun and Goguryeo, who have long coveted it.

Tuyuhun is on the Silk Road and threatens security at any time, which is equivalent to someone peeping at his money bag at any time, and Tuyuhun has been offended many times before.

As for Goguryeo, not to mention, the three expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty have killed countless Zhongyuan brothers, and this pain has not yet healed, and the Tang Dynasty inherited the former Sui, so of course it needs to be shamed.

"Obey the order!" Li Jing was obviously prepared, and he got up full of energy, which also made many generals and a family of people happy, if there is a battle, there will be merit, this is where the generals come in, and there is no war is the sorrow of the generals.

Although it is said that if you are at home, you can also go to the martial arts academy to take classes, but how can it be refreshing to lead troops to fight, and now Li Shimin rewards him generously for his merits, and he is a large piece of overseas territory at every turn, and he goes to make a fortune by himself.

As for the elite soldiers and the reserve soldiers, this is the distinction after the streamlining of the government soldiers, the elite soldiers are recruited, they are paid, and the weapons and equipment are also the best provided by the imperial court, and the reserve soldiers are the eliminated government soldiers.

At present, the government soldiers no longer need to bring their own weapons and equipment, and they also have a penny of food, but not much, and the money and food allocated to the local government to be responsible for public security and other work are calculated separately.

The government military system is still the same as before, and more young and strong people are selected for training according to the situation of each family, which is equivalent to compulsory soldiers, which is also to let everyone maintain their combat strength and the whole people are martial.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, not only the folk customs were fierce, but Confucianism also did not have a good process of Zhu Lixue, and the literati and scholars also had a good swordsmanship.

Before Zhenguan, the restaurant and Qinglou in Chang'an City, if there were not a few literati rioters fighting that day, it would be a very strange thing, and it was also because in the past few years, all those who read and read have been requisitioned by the imperial court, which has stopped a lot.

Although there are many fewer idle customers in Chang'an Restaurant, the commercial development has also brought more consumers, so not only is it not depressed, but business is more prosperous.

Chang'an Opera House, five from the hands of Chu Suiliang, huge gilded characters, erected on the outer wall of the gate of the opera house.

The opera house not only occupies half of the city, but is also very beautiful, with an oval shape as a whole, the lower part is made of bluestone, masonry and cement, and the upper part and the top part are made of a large number of steel frames, and the use of double thick glass.

The large and beautiful building has long made the people of Chang'an City itch, but it has always been closed for construction, except for the workers, no one is allowed to enter, and there are guards guarding day and night, which makes people even more curious.

The opera house not only occupies Chongyi Fang, but also together with Yiyang Fang, connected with the East Market and Pingkang Fang, in the future, five or six Fang markets here will almost become a whole, forming a dense business circle, but the purpose of consumption is different, the East Market belongs to the market, and Pingkang Fang is the flower street Willow Lane.

Then the Chongyi Fang of the newly built opera house, plus part of Yiyang Fang, belongs to the commercial street and snack street.

Feng Daiwen deliberately found dozens of different people to come and open a shop, jade, jade, rouge gouache, silk cotton clothes, frosted sugar, canned food, everything.

I also found the family members of the princess's mansion and the Hou Mansion guards, and taught them dozens of snacks, snacks, fried chestnuts with sugar, barbecue, skewers, pumpkin pie, yam cake, hemp garden, and twist flowers.

These snacks that Feng Daiwen has seen, no matter whether the taste is the same as that of later generations, as long as they are made well, they are all made under the fiddling of these skillful women.

Rice and wheat flowers made of cold noodles, cold noodles, teppanyaki, glutinous rice made of leaf baba, fried rice dumplings, rice, wheat fried flowers and sugar water.

Many vendors in Chang'an City who originally sold various snacks were persuaded to come to set up stalls commercially.

There are more than 100 storefronts in the commercial street, and dozens of snack stalls, as well as small toys, and the stalls for fun are full, but fortunately, it was expected that the commercial street is a completely pedestrian street, and no carriages and horses are allowed to enter.

There is a special storage and care area in the market, and the street is very spacious enough for shops and vendors to place their tables and chairs on the street, and there is enough space for pedestrians to easily pass through.
