"But Lord Hou should also know that tax evasion and tax evasion are repeatedly prohibited, and our imperial court wants to absolutely prohibit it, but it can't be done, otherwise, these incomes will definitely increase a lot."

Tang Jian's face was bitter, in this case, they can be said to have thought a lot to put an end to it, but is it easy to put an end to things like this?

After Qin Tian heard Tang Jian's words, he also said that he could understand that tax evasion and tax evasion had occurred in later generations when various technologies were already very developed, let alone the current Tang Dynasty.

"Lord Tang, tax evasion cannot be eliminated, but it can be reduced, I told the saint about the loan accounting method before, you also know this matter, do you think that the time is the time to implement the loan accounting method?"

Hearing that Qin Tian was going to implement the loan accounting method, Tang Jian's expression moved slightly, and after thinking about it, he said: "Hou Ye, now that the imperial court's finances are tight, if it can increase tax revenue, it is naturally a good thing, as for the situation of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks have been repelled, and the vassal kings of the court and the central government dare not make a move, and now it is the right time to implement the loan accounting method." ”

The implementation of the loan bookkeeping method will definitely cause some sensation and some unstable factors, but in a stable environment, these are not problems, at least, it will not move the foundation of Datang.

Tang Jian was supportive, and Qin Tian nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to the saint tomorrow." ”

When the two finished speaking, it was already early, and the rain was still falling.

The next day, the morning dynasty.

Qin Tian did not mention these things in the court, whether it was the destruction of the Buddha, or the method of borrowing and accounting, these were not things that could be brought up casually.

Only after Li Shimin agreed, he was able to say it in the court.

The early dynasty talked about a lot of issues, Li Shimin here, did not say anything about the loom, Gao Shilian stood in the main hall, a little anxious, but for a while, he didn't dare to bring it up.

The early dynasty ended like this, but after the early dynasty ended, Qin Tian did not leave like this, but went to the imperial study.

Li Shimin was also here to see Qin Tian, and when he saw Qin Tian coming, he saved trouble.

"Holy ......"

Qin Tian dared to speak, and Li Shimin suddenly laughed: "Qin Aiqing came just in time, I just happened to have something to tell you, I heard that you have improved the loom, and you can weave cloth alone, and it is very fast?" ”

Suddenly, Qin Tian had a feeling that he was going to be calculated, because no matter how he looked at it, Li Shimin's smile was full of treachery.

If he had known this, he would not have come.

"Ahem, Holy One, this ...... It's just a little bit of a casual improvement. ”

"It's still Qin Aiqing who is amazing, if he improves it a little casually, he will reduce the price of my Datang's cloth, if he pulls it to the Western Regions to sell, I don't know how much money it can make."

Li Shimin complimented him like this, but the more he said this, the more uneasy Qin Tian felt in his heart, because he had a feeling that he was about to fall into the pit at any time.

This kind of method made Qin Tian very uncomfortable.

"Holy Lord, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, it's always like this, the minister is a little bit careful."

Li Shimin pursed his lips and said: "Qin Aiqing, you see, you have reduced the price of cloth so much, and the cloth woven by many ordinary women is no longer marketable, they can't sell the cloth, how will you live in the future, what do you say?" ”

"This ......"

"Qin Aiqing, when it comes to everyday things, I still hope you can have some fraternity."

Qin Tian understood what Li Shimin meant, he had an urge to scold people, it was too pitiful, his own money.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that you have indeed cut off the livelihood of many people, and it is no problem to cut off the livelihood of businessmen, but it is a big problem for ordinary people, which is not good.

"So the saint wants the minister to promote the loom?"

Li Shimin smiled: "Qin Aiqing is so smart! ”

Qin Tian hehe.

"Holy Lord, the loom can naturally be promoted, but this loom can be sold, and it can't be given to people like this."

"This is also normal, I allowed it."

Qin Tian nodded, although the monopoly could not be achieved, but selling looms would also allow him to make a lot of money, and in the future, he would just need to improve it from other aspects.

After saying this, Li Shimin finally asked: "Qin Aiqing came to the palace, is there something wrong?" ”

"Holy Lord, this is the income of the household department this year."

Qin Tian gave Li Shimin what he saw yesterday, and after Li Shimin read it, his expression was also condensed, a little unsightly, Datang is very big, but the income for half a year is only so little, which is really a little tangled and distressing.

"Qin Aiqing, the income in the first half of this year is not much."

"There will be fewer in the second half of the year."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and his face became even more unsightly.

"Qin Aiqing, when you came to the palace, you shouldn't just let me see this, right?"

If it was just these, it could be said in the early dynasty that there was no need to enter the palace again, and the income of the household department was not high, and he also had a lot of responsibility for this Shangshu Ling, so he was as smart as Li Shimin, and naturally quickly saw that Qin Tian had another purpose.

"Shengshang, the household tax is not high, if you want to force my Datang, it is unlikely, the minister has seen and analyzed the situation, and found that there are two places where the problem is very big, if it is improved, it can double the income of my Datang."

Hearing that his income had doubled, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Qin Tian expectantly, and said, "Oh, Qin Aiqing thinks those two aspects can be improved?" ”

"First, the minister found that my Datang monastery occupies a lot of land, and there are too many of them, they don't produce, it is not good for my Datang, and their land does not have to pay taxes, if they can recover their land, dismiss some monks, and let them go home to marry wives and have children, my Datang's income will increase, and the population will also increase, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Qin Tian said this thing a bit casually, it didn't sound serious, but after Li Shimin heard it, his face turned a little purple, because no matter how casual Qin Tian said, he already knew what Qin Tian meant, isn't this the destruction of Buddha?

In the entire land of China, it is not that this situation has not occurred, Emperor Taiwu of Wei, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they have all done this, they Tang Dynasty, not yet, just really do it, I am afraid that there will be inconvenience and trouble.

Li Shimin glanced up at Qin Tian and felt that this kid was really good at finding trouble, so he actually moved the temple's mind.

But if you think about it carefully, what Qin Tian said also makes sense, the resources occupied by the monastery are too many, land, population, and these lands and populations do not have to pay taxes or serve labor, and their existence does not seem to contribute much to the entire Tang Dynasty.

At least for Datang, which is now in great need of strength and development, it does not contribute much.
