Chapter 1119: The Beginning of the Show (Part II)
"The palace plans to set up a special economic zone in Liaodong, which has its own independent policies, independent laws and regulations, and independent taxation ......," Li Chengqian counted one by one with his fingers, bending off a finger for each count.
It's just that when he counted halfway, Li Xiaogong's face changed, and he spit out four words in a deep voice: "A country within a country?" ”
"No, no, no, it's not a country within a country, Uncle Xiaogong Wang misunderstood, it's a special economic zone. Militarily, the region is not independent, and all garrisons in the region are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, including its highest commander, who is also appointed by the Ministry of War and has nothing to do with the region. Li Chengqian shook his head and denied Li Xiaogong's question.
He can't afford the name of a country within a country, and if he really spreads the special economic zone into a country within a country, then he, the prince, probably won't be able to do it.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you mean by telling us? Your Majesty should be in charge of this matter, right? Wang Jing didn't get what she wanted, and there was a slight disappointment in her tone.
"This palace said, independent policies, independent laws, everything in Liaodong, as long as it has nothing to do with the military, will all be independent, can Mr. Wang understand?" Li Chengqian turned his head, looked at the head of the Wang family, and said almost word for word.
All independent? That means that the land there is probably not subject to taxes, and the laws and regulations there are likely to be made by the local government, which seems like a good thing.
But why do you always feel that there is a problem here, and what is the problem? The old men of several great families exchanged their opinions with each other's eyes, and they were all a little unsure whether to get involved in this matter.
Although these old guys have been saying that Li Chengqian is 'no rabbit and no eagle', in fact, they are half a point better than His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, let's just say it, what is the purpose of coming to us this time." The patriarch of the Li clan of Zhao County had never opened his mouth, but when he opened his mouth, he went straight to the point, as if he had an enmity with someone.
This old guy's temper is notoriously stubborn, and everyone present knows it, and Li Chengqian is naturally no exception, so in the face of the old guy's directness, he just smiled, saluted a circle of tea again, and then said unhurriedly: "This time, it is already imperative for the officials and gentry of the Tang Dynasty to pay grain in one piece, and the few old gentlemen present have a big business, so they don't have any special ideas?" ”
"What if you have an idea? His Majesty the Emperor is far-sighted, and who can go against what he decides. The old man of the Li family said without complaints, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his words.
Li Chengqian was right, the old men present all had great businesses and great businesses, and the land that the family had encircled for hundreds of thousands of years was unknown, and if taxes were really collected according to the land, there would be no other need for them, and they would lose a lot of money every year due to taxes alone.
But this matter is easier to do if it was put in the past, after all, there are still many 'black households' in the family, and the family can use them to farm and make up for some losses.
But now it doesn't work, the 'black households' have all been counted, Comrade Lao Li has come to a field that has not been blamed in the past, and everyone is happily running to plant their own land, who will take care of the family's affairs anymore.
And even if you want to manage it, you are powerless, after all, your own land has to be planted, and your own taxes have to be paid, so you can't sacrifice yourself to help others starve yourself to death.
The most hateful thing is Li Chengqian, a little bastard, obviously he brought up this matter, but now he turns his face and puts on the appearance of a good old man, mobilizing and preaching, doesn't he know that others have already seen his fox nature?
Faced with the problem of the head of the Li family in Zhao County and the contemptuous gaze of a group of old guys, Li Chengqian, with an unprecedented face, did not even change his eyes, and said with a smile: "Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and there must always be a process and a contrast between the good and bad of a system. ”
"Datang is now in a period of rapid development, and none of us knows what it will develop into in the future, so there seems to be nothing bad about establishing a special zone to test and compare, right?"
Li Chengqian was extremely shameless in borrowing the famous words of Taizong in later generations, and he almost didn't say 'crossing the river by feeling the stones'.
"Then His Highness means that the so-called Liaodong Special Economic Zone will not enforce the official gentry to pay the grain in one piece?" Some of the old fellows put forward their own opinions and wanted to see how Li Chengqian answered.
"The SAR will maintain its current policy unchanged for a hundred years, and this can be guaranteed by the palace now." Li Chengqian quickly gave a reply.
"But what does this have to do with us? We don't have any interests in Liaodong, even if Liaodong remains unchanged for a thousand years? Another old guy took the floor and pointed out the crux of the problem that Li Chengqian said.
Li Chengqian was silent, and looked at the tea cup in front of him in a daze.
Finally, the time has come for the poor dagger to appear, and as soon as the concept of land replacement is proposed, it is impossible to determine whether it will cause a backlash or support it, and Li Chengqian also needs to adjust his state before he will talk about this matter.
Half an hour later, just when the patience of the old guys was about to be exhausted, Li Chengqian finally raised his head and said in a deep voice: "This palace plans to implement a two-to-one land exchange in Liaodong, one land in the Guannei in exchange for two Liaodong land, what do the old gentlemen think?" ”
Idea? Of course there was, but at such a critical moment, no one stood up, and everyone looked at Li Chengqian with surprised eyes, as if they had never seen him before.
In addition to Li Xiaogong, the heads of the other six families all have the same idea in their hearts: the young dragon has finally become an adult and has become a fierce beast that eats people, and the Li Tang royal family will not fall for a hundred years!
Although Li Chengqian has been tossing and challenging the family all the time, he was like a little tiger who had not grown up at that time, but he was just habitually using his teeth and claws to scare people, and he did not have a real threat.
The family was like an elephant at that time, and although the little tiger was not afraid of them, they were actually not afraid of the little tiger, after all, the tiger was so small that it was difficult to hurt them with teeth or claws.
In their opinion, those things that Li Chengqian tossed out were all petty fights, and they couldn't hurt their muscles and bones at all, and they would pass after putting up with it.
But now it's different, the little guy seems to have grown up overnight, becoming dull and restrained, facing the prey will no longer easily show his fangs, he is quietly lurking, looking for the opportunity and then sending the most fatal blow,
