When driving through the street to reach Qujiang Pond, the pedestrians on the road have begun to be crowded, the population of Chang'an City at this time has reached seven or eight hundred thousand people, and Qujiang Pond as the most famous amusement place, it is naturally crowded.

Bai Chun thought all the way in the carriage, and the habit he learned from Li Hong was also retained, he took out a bound small book, and wrote and drew on it with the charcoal pen in his hand, in Li Hong's eyes, he was a shrewd and capable beautiful assistant image in his previous life.

Bai Chun raised his head and closed the notebook, frowned and said, "Will the household department agree to the taxation of foreign merchants?" And you also need to give an explanation to the household department for this part of the money, right? ”

"Is your brain flooded all this time? I'm the head of the household, who else do I need to ask for? You just have to do it. Li Hong said magnificently, this feeling of real power in hand is different, although as a prince already has a lot of convenience and rights, but after all, it is not as good as this, it is refreshing to hold real power in hand.

Li Hong also knows that the reason why Datang is remembered and looked up to by future generations is: his military strength. The second is: his cultural strength. Three: Naturally, it is his economic strength. But none of these have the self-confidence of the Tang people, which makes future generations look up to them.

The existence of the Tang Dynasty, as the failure to build even one meter of the Great Wall in all dynasties, is enough to imagine his military strength and self-confidence, as well as his strategic contempt for other countries.

This kind of self-confidence made every emperor on the Li Tang Dynasty disdain to use this way of building the Great Wall to stabilize his country with a defensive posture.

Moreover, people in this era are self-confident from the heart, far from the unconfident universal values of the previous life, especially the inferiority complex of a group of slaves respected by foreign adults.

The tolerance of the Tang people to foreigners is not only reflected in the people, but whether it is the people, the court or the royal family, the appointment of foreigners, which is enough to show how hard the Tang people were at that time.

Economically, in the next few decades, Datang will have no place to store more money, which indirectly causes the economy to be unable to continue to develop and break through the inherent model and bottleneck.

Now Li Hong has stored a large amount of money, first, to develop a new economy, it must be supported by a large amount of money. The second is a large amount of money, which is also the basis for the future reform of the government military system into a conscription system. Coupled with the emergence of new things, the people's demand for new materials, and the circulation of money in society will become faster and bigger, so as to avoid letting Datang, who will not spend money, survive to death.

Too lazy to pay attention to Bai Chun made a grimace at him, and the crowded road to Qujiangchi slowed down the carriage even more.

Li Hong thought for a while and said again: "The levy of foreign business tax is just the beginning, and it will slowly unfold among the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and one day, I hope to realize a beautiful ideal ......." ”

Bai Chun's amorous eyes stayed on his face, waiting for him to go down, but Li Hong bought a pass: "Get off first, fortunately, our carriage can come in from the royal passage, otherwise we will have to wait for a long time at the gate of Qujiang Pond." ”

"What kind of beautiful ideal?" Bai Lu got out of the car first, then stood next to him and served Li Hong to get out of the car, and asked beside him.

"Yes, Prince, what are we afraid of in Datang now besides natural disasters? What could be better than what it looks like now? "The summer solstice is also confused, and now the weather is not good, and the prince still wants to turn over the scene in the Tang Dynasty.

Innovation is the most difficult, no matter what era people are born in, people face the future, often measured by the satisfaction of the present, to compare. In this era, the mentality of small people who are rich and safe not only exists among the people, but also in the court and the palace.

It's like being full of lust, and the battle in the walls of the Tang Palace is probably also because there is no external pressure, so that these idlers in the palace start tossing themselves, otherwise why are there so many palace fights in the Tang Dynasty?

Pull out a piece of palace history from the three-hundred-year time period, and you can write a wonderful palace fight TV series.

"The first beautiful ideal: no tax on agriculture." Li Hong turned around and smiled mysteriously at Bai Chun, and said three words lightly.

"No taxes on farming?" Bai Chun frowned, she obviously couldn't understand the meaning of these three words at once, and for people in this era, it was unbelievable that she could be reduced to an ideal in a ghost story.

The four of them circled Li Hong and Bai Chun in the middle, and carefully walked out of the Royal Forbidden Garden, and the four of Hua Meng expanded the scope and protected the six of them faintly, trying not to let other pedestrians get close to this invisible circle.

In early summer, the breeze blowing on the lake still has a trace of coolness, and there is an indescribable sense of comfort and laziness on the body.

The lake surface ripples layer by layer, the fish in the water are not afraid of people, the lake water in front of the tourists who feed is crowded with fish who grab food, and they have jumped out of the water to grab the delicious food for the first time.

"Where will they feast?" Li Hong's neck stretched out, but in the adult pile, all he could see was the back of his head.

"They naturally come here to see the water, if they use water as a poem, they should be in the water pavilion or the water hall, the water pavilion is more likely, after all, it is the most suitable place to see the whole picture of Qujiang Pond." Bai Lu was very close to Li Hong, and analyzed for him.

"Come by boat or by foot?" Li Hong glanced at the skateboard that was held in Mangzhong's hand, and he didn't need it for a while, they definitely wouldn't let themselves skate through the crowd.

"Let's walk over and enjoy the scenery while walking." Bai Chun's hair was blown by the breeze, the cotton shirt and skirt were rippling in the wind, and the exquisite and beautiful figure was unobstructed.

"You're afraid of water, aren't you?" Li Hong looked at Bai Chun with a wicked smile and asked.

"I'm not afraid of water." Saying this, he still involuntarily leaned in, and sandwiched Li Hong in the middle with Bai Lu.

As Bai Lu guessed, a group of people dressed as students crowded the waterfront pavilion, and the waterfront pavilion was said to be a pavilion rather than an island. There is not too much man-made construction in the waterfront pavilion, except for a few pavilions scattered here and there for shading, there are winding paths and towering trees.

A small road filled out by hand-transported soil is the only way to go to the waterfront pavilion, it seems to be filled in later, I am afraid that it is for this island, and fill out such a path, so this island is named: Linshui Pavilion.

"Why are Wang Bo and Yang Jiong also in it?" Xiao Han's eyes were sharp, and he found the two people at a glance.

"Shangguan Yi gave them a holiday?" Li Hong also asked strangely.

I saw Yang Jiong and Wang Bo sitting around with the students of Guozijian and Hongwen Hall, talking happily, and bursts of cheerful laughter came from time to time.

In another place, although there were fewer people, it was full of food and drink, and men and women were among them, and from time to time you could hear bursts of men laughing, and women were still ashamed.

"Master, Helan Minzhi is here." Bai Chun reminded in a low voice. As long as they appear in public, whether it is Bai Chun or others, they will all call Li Hong "Ye", which has become their conditioned reflex, and they don't need to think about it deliberately, they will do it naturally.

Looking at the suave, handsome and dashing Helan Minzhi, who was in front of a woman at the moment, pointed at Qu Jiangchi with high spirits, obviously introducing something, from time to time attracting the woman's beautiful eyes to send autumn waves, or to cover her mouth with a handkerchief and laugh softly.

"See, every time I see him, he seems to be a little more handsome, how long, you say? Is this the bloodline of the Helan family, or the bloodline of the queen mother's family? Li Hong shook his head and sighed, ashamed of himself.

"What about being handsome? seems to be a grace to beauties, but in fact it is ruthless and vicious. Bai Chun followed Li Hong's gaze and looked at Helan Minzhi and said.

"But that's how it will make women happy, chanting poems, knowing the Five Classics, and reading ancient books, it is estimated that now in front of that woman, Qujiangchi's past and present lives have been cleaned up, and it seems that it really works if she is knowledgeable." By the way, you said that I should learn some from Shangguanyi, if you think Shangguanyi is not good, who else in the Kongyan family is in Guozijian or Hongwen Pavilion, get two to come to Chongwen Pavilion, I also listen to it every day. Li Hong and his entourage slowly walked to Wang Bo and Yang Jiong.

"Forget it, you still have to worry about the affairs of the East Palace, this little elementary school ask, how can you compare to your erudition and talent." Xia Zhi walked in front of Li Hong, listened to their conversation, and immediately followed up, so as not to make the prince sad because of Helan Minzhi's comparison.

"It's still the summer solstice that can talk, and the most important thing is to tell the truth! Summer solstice, this is what I like most about you, you are not afraid of power, upright, beautiful, generous, elegant and virtuous, and knowledgeable. Just like the peony flowers in Luoyang, they give people holiness and comfort their hearts with bright ....... ”

"Master, wasn't that what you did with me last time?" Bai Luqiao's face was flushed, the last time she praised the prince, the prince also praised her like this.

"Uh...... You're both the same, you're the same. Li Hong touched his nose and said, Bai Lu is not good at all, he loves to tell the truth, especially when he grasps the timing, he is too lacking.

"Poof" Bai Chun was the first to laugh, and his charming, enchanting and charming appearance immediately attracted Helan Minzhi, who had already noticed their group, forgetting the beauties around him, looking straight at Bai Chun with his eyes, and it seemed that there was only one soul left.

Yang Jiong and Wang Bo looked at the group of people who were getting closer and closer to them, and the two glanced at each other, their expressions a little strange.

But he still stood up, first walked to Hua Meng and Mangzhong at the front, bowed deeply, and said, "Students Yang Jiong and Wang Bo have met a few gentlemen. ”

Hua Meng and Mang Chong motioned for them to get up, and then stood aside separately, and Li Hong and the five girls slowly walked towards them with a smile.
