Wushuang House.

"Yan'er, Qing'er, during this time, has the baby been naughty?" Li Yi carefully stroked the big bellies of the two women, and asked softly.

"Hehe, they're honest, where are they like gentlemen, always dishonest?" Cai Yan smiled when she heard this.

"Where am I being dishonest?!" Li Yi hurriedly shouted injustice when he heard this, and the innocent appearance made Cai Yan and the two girls suddenly can't help but roll their eyes.

"Hehe, honestly will you bring a big beauty back on the battlefield?" Cai Yan looked at Li Yi and smiled.

"Haha......" Hearing this, Li Yi immediately laughed and chose to shut up, because he didn't know what to say at this time.

Seeing this, Cai Yan didn't say much, just continued to chat with Cai Qing and Li Yiwencun, and it seemed that he didn't seem to take this matter to heart. And in fact, it really didn't take it to heart.

In this era, along with war, in addition to the death of a large number of soldiers, countless slaves and maids will be derived. And the vast majority of these people will be used as labor to work in various places, and beautiful women like Zou Qian are rewarded with the best goods under their command.

Yes, objects, slaves and maids themselves are objects in this era. Even in this era, concubines are just high-level slaves. Because compared to his wife's Ming media marrying, taking a concubine is just like the concubine's parents sending some money, and unlike marrying a wife to have a marriage certificate, taking a concubine is accompanied by a kind of deed! To put it simply, it is a deed of sale.

So the status of the concubine can be imagined how low it is, although there are rights, but those rights are only given by the wife or the head of the family, not the concubine herself. This also makes it possible to find many people giving away their concubines to others in this or previous era. It may sound hard to believe, but if you think of a concubine as an object, it doesn't seem like a good surprise.

Of course, women with knowledge, or women with deep backgrounds, are not among them. It's like if Li Yi also takes Zou Qian as a concubine, may her status be the same as Cai Qing? Even if you don't count Li Yi's favor, it's impossible.

Just when Li Yi accompanied Cai Yan and the two of them to warm up, in another room, Diao Chan was constantly talking to Zou Qian about the rules of Wushuang Mansion, unlike Cai Yan and the two daughters, the moment she saw Zou Qian, Diao Chan's heart was full of a sense of crisis. However, this sense of crisis disappeared completely after Li Yi handed over Zou Qian to Diao Chan.

After educating Zou Qian, Diao Chan went to Du Yue to chat again, just saying that it was small talk, but he kept vaguely inquiring about his various situations with Li Yi during this time.

"Didn't you get eaten by the lord?" After Du Yue left, Diao Chan thought strangely, "Hmm...... It must be because of Qin Yilu's relationship...... However, it can't cause trouble to the lord......" Thinking of this, Diao Chan supported his small chin with his hand, but he was thinking about how to let Li Yi officially take possession of Du Yue.

She has been serving Li Yi since she was a child, and she can naturally see that Li Yi has a lot of thoughts about Du Yue. And what Li Yi thinks is what she thinks, as long as she can make Li Yi happy, it is the happiest thing for her.

Diao Chan was pondering how to let Li Yi get Du Yue without any trouble. And Li Yi over there has already begun to get busy.

Although Cai Yan's two daughters will give birth next month, but unfortunately, Li Yi does not have much time to accompany them, although Sima Hui and others said that they are not in a hurry, but Li Yi immediately ordered someone to draw a piece of land on the edge of the medical school and ordered someone to start building the college.

At the same time, Li Yi was still pondering various reform issues. He knew that the world was about to enter a troubled era, and at the same time, it was time for him to start reforming. After all, in the troubled times, he Li Yi turned Bingzhou upside down, as long as he didn't give others a reason to crusade against him, it was impossible for anyone to come to him for trouble.

Moreover, reform is also urgent. After all, even if there are more northern parts of Hedong County now, compared with Jizhou, Yuzhou and other places, it is much inferior. If we want to gain a firm foothold and expand our advantages in the next troubled times, reform is a must.

Well? Why not expand outward? Expansion is also necessary, but how can reform be scarce?

Therefore, Li Yi invited Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Sima Hui, Zhu Jun, and even Hua Tuo, Gao Shun and others to discuss the reform together.

It's just that...... Li Yi's steps seemed to be a little too big.

"Zikang, this idea of yours seems to be a bit ......" Cai Yong frowned and wanted to say something, but the words came to his lips and turned to look at Lu Zhi again.

"Hmm...... I also think Zikang's idea seems a little too ...... Sloppy. Lu Zhi thought about it, and finally used the word sloppy.

"Yes, Zikang wants to reduce the people's taxes, which is naturally a great joy for the people, but is your reduction a little too much?" Sima Hui shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Not to mention anything else, just with these remaining taxes, how much tax can Zikang receive every year?" Not to mention the establishment of the academy, the training, armament, grain and grass of the army all need a large amount of tax support. ”

Yes, Li Yi wants to move taxes, or rather, he wants to move more than just taxes. In fact, from time travel to the present, Li Yi has too many things that he wants to invent or change, but they can't be displayed because the troubled times have not come. Now that it's finally arrived, the number of horrors is enough to scare people to death.

However, most of the other ideas or inventions are not too difficult, or they are not worth mentioning at all compared to the tax reform.

In fact, there was no shortage of people who wanted to reform in all dynasties, and the ideas they put forward sounded very good, but the reason why they failed was because they could not really implement them. So why can't it be enforced? Without him! Benefit! Looking at the reforms of the past dynasties, most of them are to move the interests of the forces of the family and the local tyrants. How could they approve of this situation?

Therefore, when many people propose reform, they will first throw out something that is good for everyone, or put a gorgeous coat on the content of the real reform.

Now, the tax reform proposed by Li Yi is quite simple and crude. Without any camouflage, it was directly restructured on it. In this case, how to avoid headaches for everyone?

"Taxation is such a thing, you have to look at the long-term, as long as the long-term is beneficial, the short-term pain is nothing!" Li Yi looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"This ......" everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know how to answer for a while.
