Li Shimin was the king of Qin before he became the emperor, and he had a group of Wagang generals under him, what kind of bird had he not seen?

So after listening to Samurai Tong's words, he smiled, shook his head, and said, "Do you believe this statement?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't believe it, but after learning about the specific situation in Shanyin County, the minister had to believe it." Wu Shi Tong had been prepared for the emperor's questioning, and after selling a little, he continued: "Your Majesty, do you remember when you were waiting for your permission to recruit fugitives? ”

"Well, that's the case, what? What does this have to do with his mine? Li Shimin said noncommittally.

"Your Majesty, do you know that Xiaoyao is indeed a talent, in just half a year, the population of Shanyin County has increased more than tenfold, and now there are more than 9,000 households in the entire Shanyin County, and the mine is ......"

"Wait, how many people did you say there were in San'in County?" Without waiting for Wu Shitong to continue, Li Shimin interrupted him with a remark.

"More than 9,000 households, and now there may be more." Samurai Tsuru said.

But he was secretly beating the drum in his heart, praying that Li Muyun would not lie about this matter, otherwise his future would really be ruined in his hands, but now it is too late to regret it, and if he says it, he will spill the water, no matter what, he will have to grit his teeth and hold on.

At this moment, Li Shimin also spoke, only to see him frowning, and asked in a deep voice that seemed to be in disbelief: "More than 9,000 households, if I am not mistaken, the previous population of Shanyin County seems to be less than 1,000 households, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, when the minister was in Shanyin County, he did say so when he talked about the past of Shanyin County." Lao Wu nodded and said.

This matter is well known, and it can't be hidden from people at all, even if Lao Wu says that he doesn't know, he can also call up this data when he goes back to the household department.

"So you mean to say that it took half a year to recall nearly 50,000 fugitives?" Li Er continued to ask.

"Minister......, minister......" Lao Wu also realized that something was wrong with the situation at this time, and he was a little speechless in an instant, and he didn't know what to say.

As the saying goes, there must be a limit to lying, what does 50,000 fugitives mean? This is equivalent to saying that almost all the population of Shanyin County is fugitives, which means that if calculated according to this ratio, the total population of Datang should be ten times that of the current one.

Is this possible? Of course not! Not to mention a samurai who was born as a merchant, even if he was looking for a beggar who didn't know anything on the side of the road, he probably wouldn't believe this conclusion.

"Ying Guogong, you are also an old courtier, you should know that there are some things that need to be investigated before you have the right to speak, have you investigated the population explosion in Shanyin County?" Finding that Lao Wu didn't speak, Li Shimin continued to ask.

He can forgive his subordinates for making small moves for their own interests, but he will never allow his subordinates to be dishonest, similar to Wu Shi Tong is a dishonest one, and Li Muyun is also a dishonest one, so as long as it is determined that the population explosion in Shanyin County is fake, then Lao Wu and Li Muyun have no good fruit to eat.

The top of the warrior's head had already begun to see the sweat, and he didn't know how to answer for a while under Li Shimin's questioning, and at this time, there were palace people outside who ran in with a lot of twists and turns: "Your Majesty, there are 18 state assassins such as Yunzhou, Shengzhou, Lanzhou, and Youzhou, and the Chinese book can't be decided!" ”

Well? Li Shimin glanced at Wu Shi Tong without a trace, but he didn't urge him, but just beckoned to the palace man who was holding the fold.

Lao Wu can't run around, and he can't explain this kind of thing, Li Shimin doesn't mind giving him more time to 'consider' where he will go in the future.

However, having said that, when Li Shimin opened the fold, he was stunned, and then threw it aside and then opened another book, and then threw it aside again.

It wasn't until after turning six or seven that he stopped with a very strange face, and glanced at Wu Shi Tong again: "Ying Guogong, do you know how that Xiaohou recruited the fugitive?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the agricultural tax will be halved within five years, and the agricultural tax will be exempted after five years." Samurai replied without even thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lao Wu finished answering, Li Shimin slapped the table: "Nonsense!" What a nonsense! Ying Guogong, do you know where those 'fugitives' came from? ”

"Uh, I don't know!" Lao Wu shook his head.

"Hmph, this Li Muyun is really messing around, where are those people fugitives, they are all the people of the state capitals around Shuozhou, because the conditions he gave were too generous, they all pretended to be fugitives and ran to him!"

"Huh?!" The samurai was stunned for a moment, looking at His Majesty the Emperor, who seemed to be a little angry, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he actually had the urge to laugh.

Since Li Shimin said that the 'fugitives' are all the surrounding people, it means that he has recognized the fact that the population of Shanyin County has exploded, that is, Lao Wu has proved from the side that he is not lying, so that Lao Wu's crime of bullying the king can be avoided, as for where the people who have increased dramatically come from, this has nothing to do with Lao Wu.

Another point is that Li Muyun is really bad, he doesn't want taxes himself, and he even pulls the people in other people's jurisdictions over, so this is completely harmful to others and not to himself, which is no longer a 'bad' word that can be described.

If you really want to say it, Lao Wu can only think of the word 'lack of virtue', and it is not an ordinary lack of virtue.

But what does it have to do with Lao Wu, he is only a secretary of the Ministry of Works, not a secretary of the Ministry of Households.

However, seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry, Lao Wu couldn't watch it, so he thought about it and said: "Your Majesty, you must still be young when you are free, you are not good at government affairs, and it is normal to have things that you don't think about, so don't be too angry." ”

"I'm angry not that he made his fief to the people in other people's jurisdictions, but that he is exempt from taxes, but I want to see what he uses to pay this year's taxes at the end of the year." Li Shimin looked at the large number of impeachment notes against Li Muyun on the table, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and almost didn't lift the table.

The heart said that this kid is too special to let himself worry, what are you tossing on this day, and it is tax-free, this tax is exempted, how to solve the country's income? If all the people don't pay taxes, will he, the emperor, go and drink the wind?

Also, the state capitals near Shuozhou are also very uncompetitive, the population has been robbed, you can find a way to grab it back, is it interesting to come to Lao Tzu to complain? What can Lao Tzu do, that kid is covered by an old man, he can't beat or scold, he is completely a thorn .......

Thinking about it, this imperialist leader suddenly had an idea and thought of a way ......!
