Chapter 1117: Truth

Ma Zhou and Li Jingxuan were supportive of Li Chengqian's official gentry, while Cui Yu and Wang Xuance were indifferent, but in general they tended to support it, but they were entangled in whether such a policy would have a serious impact on the DPRK and China.

As for the eldest grandson Chong, although this guy is currently a diehard fan of Li Chengqian, he does not support the official gentry proposed by Li Chengqian. There is no need to elaborate on the reason, as a vested interest, the problem of paying taxes has always been so embarrassing.

However, fortunately, Li Chengqian did not have much hope for the method of the official gentry to pay grain in one piece, this was just an excuse he used to suppress the family head-on, and he didn't really want to make any achievements in this policy, so it didn't matter if there was anyone to support it.

For the next whole day, Li Chengqian led a group of 'elites' under his command to toss and turn to their heart's content, conceived and planned a large set, and finally Ma Zhou wrote a memo to the old man, which was signed by Li Chengqian, and then brought back to Chang'an by them after sealing it.

Three days later, he was secretly sent to the old man's manna hall, where it was opened under the drive of Comrade Li's curiosity.

"Erlang, Cheng Qian's courage is too big, this is simply a shot to overturn a boatload of people, it was originally a family, but now I am afraid that even Xungui will be offended by such a mess." After hearing the narration of the eldest in the family, the eldest grandson Wuji entered the palace in a hurry, just in time for Lao Li to watch the recital, and went straight to the point without explaining at the moment.

Li Shimin gently folded the music shut, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, and only after a while did he say: "I think this method is good, if he comes forward, he will naturally offend people, but what if I come forward?" ”

As I call myself, this is a very obvious signal, which means to tell the eldest grandson Wuji that he does not want to talk about this matter in a private capacity.

The eldest grandson Wuji, an old fox-like figure, could naturally hear the way from Li Shimin's tone, and quickly changed his title, but his tone was very anxious: "Your Majesty, even if you preside over it in person, this is also a big thing, and if you really want to implement it, it will cause a big mess." ”

"I know this will hurt a lot of people, but I just want to ask, how much will it cost our people? Take your eldest grandson Wuji as an example, is your estate really on the land? Li Shimin's expression was very serious, and he clearly thought that it was a good policy for the officials and gentry to pay grain in one piece.

As an emperor, there are really many things in common, the national policy that the 'fourth brother' (Emperor Yongzheng) wanted to achieve for decades was placed a thousand years ago, and he still has a firm supporter, if the 'fourth brother' knows, he will be proud.

But this is a paradox, we are a history book, so we will not discuss the question of whether the 'fourth brother' will be proud.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, in fact, his eldest grandson's industry was mainly steel, and the land was just ancillary, and there was not much income in the land every year, and even sometimes he had to allocate money from the steel industry to support the tenants in his fiefdom.

Just now, he was also concerned about the chaos, and he was frightened by the one described by the eldest grandson Chong, so he ran to Li Shimin to stop him in a hurry.

Now that I was reminded by my brother-in-law, I also woke up to it, it seems that not only the eldest grandson's family, but even the other nobles are the same, and they don't rely on eating much.

Here's why...... These guys are all explosives, and they haven't had time to enclose the land at all.

Datang has been fighting for the north and south in the past few years, where do you sometimes go to enclosure? It has not been a few years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and these nobles have not yet reacted even if they want to enclose land.

Moreover, Li Chengqian has also tossed a lot of things in recent years, and has created a lot of industries, in which the nobles all have shares, and most of the family's industries are in business and land...... Land is just a feeling, and there is no expectation of any gains.

Therefore, even if the gentry pay grain and collect taxes according to the land they occupy, it seems that the relationship with them is not great, and the harvest in the field is not needed, anyway, the most that comes out of the land is to feed those tenants.

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji scratched his head in embarrassment and stopped talking, but this action was somewhat interesting when placed on a middle-aged fat man in his forties, and the serious Li Shimin couldn't stop laughing.

Because of Li Shimin's smile, the awkward atmosphere between the monarchs and ministers eased a lot, and Lao Li also took this opportunity to ask: "Wuji, you and I grew up together since childhood, and now we are relatives, if you talk from your heart, tell me, what is this policy?" ”

Regarding Li Shimin's changing self-title, the eldest grandson Wuji has long been accustomed to it, and followed his tone and said: "Erlang, beware of doing bad things with good intentions." I do not deny that this idea of Cheng Qian is a good thing, and the policy is also a good policy, but it must be implemented in a sustainable manner. ”

"Since it's a good policy, let's try it, I just hope that the brothers in our Tiance Mansion can support this matter, and we can put up a shelf first." Li Shimin seemed to be determined to do this, and despite the eldest grandson Wuji's strong resistance, he said persistently.

"But......" The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Li Shimin waving his hand: "Wuji, at present, my Datang really doesn't care about the tax on the land, but the country doesn't care doesn't mean that the people can not pay taxes, right?" ”

"Yes!" The eldest grandson Wuji nodded tangledly, but it was unknown what his ideal was.

In this world, there are many things that make sense, but not every thing that makes sense will be done.

For example, if an old man eats out and finds that he has no money after eating, it stands to reason that he should send it to the government, and the government will treat it as a liar.

But in reality? In fact, there are elderly people in everyone's family, and if they send people to the government for a meal, and if they think about it by themselves and others, has this done too much?

The boss who sent the old man to the government will probably not be compensated, but will end up being punished for not being "courteous" and "benevolent".

This is the truth, a thing that is completely determined according to the worldview of the masses, and the same is true of the official gentry.

Logically speaking, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this, if you have land at home, then you have to pay taxes, but those who are officials have to say again, Lao Tzu sold his life for Datang, and the children and grandchildren of the family even died a lot in the war, can't Datang reduce some taxes? Do you have to worry about one and two two?
