Li Yuanji said that he wanted to bring hope to the people to live, including Song Zhong, a personal person, and everyone present expressed disbelief.

Maybe it's a hint of confusion, don't the people now have no hope of living?

After three years of disasters, the imperial court vigorously provided disaster relief, and various measures were continuously smashed, although their freedom was restricted, but in the disaster, they were not harmed much.

At present, other decrees are being promoted, each of which is aimed at making people's lives better.

But in their eyes, Li Yuanji's words were telling them that he was obviously not very satisfied with the current result.

It's more than one or two times better than it was in previous years, and it's going to be even better in the next few years.

They don't understand why Lee Won-gil is dissatisfied with the status quo.

Thinking about this with the thinking of an ancient, he will only compare the present with the past, the present is better than the past, that is effective, although it can be better, but that needs to be done step by step.

But Li Yuanji is different, he comes from later generations, although he is just a brick mover.

But born and raised under the red flag and living in a well-off society, although there are frequent complaints, one thing is worth affirming, in that era, the rebels almost did not exist, even if they really had ideas, they would never succeed.

Of course, in some ways, ancient and modern times are not interconnected, just like the system, there will always be people who want to be emperors.

Qin Shi Huang's eternal life has only been passed to the third generation, and his so-called eternal life, Li Yuanji does not know how many generations it can be transmitted, and Li Yuanji himself does not know whether it is right or wrong? But either way, there are always things to do.

The improvement of steel production capacity is placed in front of anyone, and if it is placed in this era, I am afraid that there will be a choice, to build guns, guns, and more advanced equipment.

Li Yuanji is also not surprised, but what can the current cannons and guns do even if they are made?

Li Yuanji, who did not know about thermal weapons, did not realize how important these things were, but he realized the importance of roads and railways, and in the future, shipping, which is why he agreed to build ships for the ocean to Japan.

In terms of these two choices, Li Yuanji chose to lean towards the latter, but did not completely abandon the former.

Railways and roads will increase production capacity.

And now, even if you make artillery, it can only be a solid shell, and the range is extremely limited.

The current bomb delivery vehicles and rocket artillery are enough, and there is no need to waste so many resources, so Li Yuanji chose to build railways and roads, artillery and muskets, and only conduct internal research and improvement in the Academy of Sciences. Li Yuanji himself couldn't figure it out.

"Whether the people's lives are better or not, judging from previous experience, depends mostly on the amount of tax and labor." Li Yuanji said slowly, this is not a meeting, but there are some things that the top level must agree on, although he is the emperor, he can't do everything by himself, so there should be an explanation, there must be.

Li Yuanji's words aroused the approval of the ministers, light endowment is indeed the premise of the people to live a good life, although it is not absolute, but it is an indispensable one, and it is connected to it, as well as miscellaneous taxes in various places, etc., if these things are gone, then the people will definitely live a very comfortable life, and no one wants to do that headless thing.

"The implementation of business, because business has a commercial existence, and today's system, but to the greatest extent to balance the development of business, just like the Academy of Sciences, no one was willing to do before, all feel that the status is very low, so our various levels have been in a relatively low state, but now it is different, after several years of development, our technical level has been in the forefront, new plows, waterwheels, gunpowder, these have brought real benefits to Datang.

So the same is true for business, when commerce is developed enough, the tax of the imperial court can be more than now, and at that time, the taxes of the people can be completely abolished, and without taxes, the people have some spare money in their hands, and they will naturally try their best to change their lives, if they want to change, they have to buy some things, whether it is food or kerosene candles, there are always some that the family needs.

And this can promote the development of commerce, the development of commerce, naturally need more people to invest in it, recruit people to start work money, with wages can not be spent, so cycle, the flow of money in the market will only be more and more, the income of the court will naturally be more and more.

The railway, which is very convenient for transportation, can effectively reduce transportation costs, reduce costs, and the price will naturally be reduced, so that more people can buy goods. In addition to commerce, it is also possible to quickly transport troops to the border, as Zhijie said earlier, and more importantly, with railways, it is possible to transport a large number of supplies in a short period of time with only a small number of people, so there is no need for labor.

No taxes, no work and rest, can change life, who doesn't want to live such a life? I don't know if this is possible, but there are some things that I always have to try. Li Yuanji patiently explained his thoughts.

The root of the sect is two points: first, taxes will be abolished in the future, and when they will be abolished depends on when business can develop. Second, the system of servitude will be abolished in the future, and the time of abolition will be when the railroads will be laid throughout the country.

But there is another point that Li Yuanji did not say, the reduction of transportation costs means that many things will reduce costs.

At this time, as long as education is carried out, so that more people can be influenced by education, let them be sensible and understand the general situation, at least not like now, the people are easily fooled by some people with high moral integrity, often people say a word, this side will be supported regardless of right or wrong, and there is no opinion of their own at all.

Li Yuanji dared to force the family to follow the path he had drawn, and the fundamental reason was because of the reputation left in the hearts of the people when the imperial court vigorously rescued him with the help of the disaster for three years.

If there is really a family to instigate at this time, it is estimated that many people will think that the imperial court has prevented them from getting rich, so they are in such a hurry to rebel.

"This ......" Fang Xuanling and the others' reactions were not much different from Li Tao's reactions before, they were all skeptical and incredulous.

The abolition of taxes, and even the abolition of servitude, is something that is simply unthinkable.

Looking at the reactions of these people, Li Yuanji has also been very sure of his thoughts, and some more important news has not been said, which is actually right.

Even if they have been with them for two years, their thoughts cannot be synchronized with themselves, which is a generational gap that spans thousands of years, and it cannot be changed overnight.

"The ministers are willing to support Your Majesty with all their might!" In fact, when Li Yuanji gave a detailed explanation, they had no way out.

These two purposes, or countless purposes, they have no way to stop them, and they dare not stop them.

Otherwise, once today's things are leaked out, those who dare to stop it will inevitably become the finger of Wanfu, and no one dares to destroy their reputation in this era of reputation.

Therefore, they can only surrender, they can only support, and they can only do their best.

A few people had heard the news, so they hurriedly came to verify, and now that they got more accurate news, they couldn't bother the emperor anymore, so they could only say goodbye and leave.

It's just that the excitement is completely different from when they came, but the ministers at this time have a different feeling.

"Hey! Although Your Majesty did not specify the time, we have to think about it. Xiao Yu sighed helplessly, and secretly said that Li Yuanji is always like this, his attitude is tough and people dare not question it, but it makes people very helpless, tough is tough, but it is not a positive hard steel method, but a way to boil frogs in warm water, and when the ministers reacted, everything was too late, and the reason he found was still impossible to find a reason to refute.

Working under such an emperor is very worry-free, but it is very tiring.

"Yes, then I have to work towards this goal." Fang Xuanling also felt the same way, although he was constantly praised by the people and had a high reputation, only he knew what was going on, shook his head with a wry smile, and continued: "The next priority of the household department is to grasp the currency reform, with the support of the Royal Group and several major families, the implementation of the new currency should not encounter any major problems." The Ministry of Industry should increase the exploitation of iron ore and, if possible, set up a few more iron-smelting workshops. In the next few days, the old man will learn about this railway, and then we will make specific plans......"

"The matter of currency is not a trivial matter, the old man recently learned about the lower household department, and found that there is a shortage of such talents, so he plans to go to the money village to absorb a few people to the household department." Huangfu Wuyi nodded and said.

The problem of monetary reform seems to be the smallest problem, and it can be perfectly solved by only mastering the exchange rate, and the problem of promotion is not worth mentioning at all.

But the problem is that most of the household departments are administrative-related officials, and there is a lack of researchers on professional projects such as currency reform, and the entire Tang Dynasty now also lacks such talents, and only Qian Zhuang often does these things, and there is no shortage of such talents, or it is said that qualified talents have long been cultivated.

Cheng Zhijie, who had nothing to do, looked at the emperor without any emotion, and seemed to be pitiful: "You are so bold, you dare to dig the corner of the emperor's wall?" ”

"Yes, if you look at Zhijie, you will know the fate of digging the corner of the emperor's wall. However, everyone is a minister in the same court, and the old man still supports you at this point, but this time in the imperial examination, the quota of your household department might as well be allocated to the old man, and the old man will give you a vote for support. Xiao Yu joked with a smile.
