PS: The political envoy was changed to a transit envoy. ≥ the Song Dynasty did not have a political envoy. So revise it below.

However, Gao Yu knew Song Huizong's thoughts, and Song Huizong's original intention was to support Li Yibai's tax cut, so he agreed. Since the emperor supports it, then he is currying favor with the emperor by supporting Li Yibai, so this favor is very good.

'Don't worry, the national teacher. I'll help you with that. Xiao Jiu passed this letter to our people in Beijing. ’

A young man in black took the envelope and ran out.

Li Yibai arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Captain Gao." ’

Gao Yu smiled faintly, "The national teacher is not polite, an aspiring young man like the national teacher, I am a high-minded person who admires the five-body throw, I am just a gesture." ’

Li Yibai politely said a few words of thanks to him.

That night, the two drank and talked happily, and Liu Erqiu also sat with them. After drinking, Gao Yu sent two more beauties to serve Li Yibai and let Li Yibai rest in the mansion.

The next day, the palace went to court, and all the civil and military officials rushed to the palace early in the morning.

Gao Yu and Li Yibai also walked on the road.

Everyone walked to the bottom of the steps of the palace gate, and a white-haired eunuch shouted in a hoarse voice, 'Go to court.' ’

The crowd walked up the steps and entered the palace.

Song Huizong sat on the throne of the emperor, his face was very bad, it seemed that he rarely went to the court and did not like to do it in this place.

He only likes to leave everything to Cai Jing and Tong Guan to take care of. He just wants to eat, drink, and have fun, play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as alchemy and cultivation.

It is said that when Song Huizong first became the emperor, he was still relatively diligent, and even the ministers gave advice. All tugged up his sleeves. He also sprayed all the stars on his face. He didn't dodge.

His behavior is quite virtuous of Tang Taizong.

It's a pity that it came later. His self-control became weaker and weaker, and at last he became unscrupulous.

Song Huizong would not take the initiative to mention the matter of Lin'an tax reduction. The emperors are extremely cunning. He likes ministers to take the initiative to mention it. So that others could not guess what he was thinking.

'Your Majesty, half of the world's taxes now come from Jiangnan. The imperial court relied too much on Jiangnan, and the people of Jiangnan were miserable. The minister asked for instructions, and His Majesty reduced taxes for the people of Lin'an, Jiangnan. ’

Li Yibai stood up directly and said.

Song Huizong pretended to listen carefully and nodded, "What Aiqing said is reasonable. ’

Cai Jing, who was standing in the first row, was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and said. 'Your Majesty must not. Lin'an is the tax that the minister has been responsible for, and if Lin'an lowers the tax, our government will not be able to operate. ’

It turned out that the reason why Cai Jing was prosperous was that he had been a pacifying envoy in Lin'an before, and then embezzled a large amount of Lin'an's taxes. After he became the prime minister, he arranged for his own people to be Lin'an's transfer envoys, and he was still greedy for Lin'an's taxes, which means that very few were handed over to the imperial court. Most of it was intercepted by itself. If now the emperor agrees to Lin'an tax cut. Then he has no money to make of it.

This is a big blow to the Cai Party.

'Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no problem with Lin'an's tax cut. Lin'an is just a city in the south of the Yangtze River. Reduced taxes in one city. How could the imperial court not work, Cai Xiangye was too alarmist. ’

Gao Yu stood up. Gao Yu and Cai Jing are not the same faction. If he could see Cai Jing's power weakening, Gao Yu would be very happy.

The slave thought that what Cai Xiangye said was extremely true. Jiangnan is the place where we pay taxes, and we should have paid more taxes for the imperial court. The operation of our court is important. It is impossible to ignore the court for the sake of the people of a place. The affairs of the imperial court are big. Emperor. ’

The person who speaks and calls himself a slave is called Tong Guan, and he is also a big celebrity around Song Huizong.

He colluded with Cai Jing and had a nest of snakes and rats. One is in the outer court, the other is in the inner court, and the two of them can be said to be hands and eyes, controlling the government.

'Your Majesty, Lin'an can reduce taxes. The minister thought that what Gao Yu and Gao Taiwei said was extremely true. A high-ranking henchman stood up and spoke.

'Your Majesty, the minister also thought that what Captain Gao said was very true. Another high-ranking henchman stood up and spoke.

Song Huizong had difficulty making a decision for a while.

At this time, Li Yibai stood up again.

'Your Majesty. In the land south of the Yangtze River, the people are tired of running for their lives and complaining. Although it is a rich land, the high taxes paid by the people are strange in the world. Many people have fled their places of origin in agony. If this continues, the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River will also decline.

It is better to teach this place to the ministers to govern. The ministers recuperated within two years, pacified the people, and allowed them to continue to increase their incomes. Wouldn't it be better to pay the taxes according to the previous ones?

It's better than paying less taxes every day. Do we have to wait until all the people have escaped before we can make amends? ’

'Your Majesty, the minister doesn't think so. This Li Yibai cultivated his own power in Lin'an privately, and sold illegal salt, acting recklessly, and did not take the court seriously at all. Li Yibai's intentions are wrong, please Your Majesty to find out. ’

The person who spoke was Lu Ming, the prefect of Yangzhou. This guy seized the opportunity to falsely accuse Li Yibai, and he wanted to help his father-in-law stand in line.

Song Huizong had doubts in his heart when he heard this.

Li Yibai saw Song Huizong's doubts, and hurriedly said, "Lu Ming is full of nonsense, just because his team lost to our Lin'an team last time, he was dissatisfied, so he falsely accused me." Everything I do is for the people. I have a good reputation in Lin'an, and the people of Lin'an or the officials know that there is no one to falsely accuse me at all, please check it out. At the same time, Your Majesty must not forget Tianzun's instructions. ’

Song Huizong heard the last sentence, Tianzun's instructions. He broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Yibai was in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion that day, and he still remembers the scene that disappeared in front of his eyes. He was afraid of Taishang Laojun's punishment.

So he made up his mind and wanted to follow Taishang Laojun's order to go in order to make himself feel at ease. Moreover, there are many ministers who support him now, and if he makes this decision, the subjects of the world will not say anything.

So he said,

This matter was approved by the national teacher. ’

Li Yibai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty." ’

Gao Yu stood up again at the same time, "Now that the national teacher is also the Lin'an transfer envoy, this matter will be handed over to the national teacher to do." ’

Song Huizong nodded. At this time, many civil and military ministers in the court slapped the board in their hands.

Finally retreated.

After Cai Jing and Lu Ming returned home. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

'How did this Li Yibai become a national teacher? And the emperor so easily sealed him as a transfer envoy. And Gao Yu also supports him. ’

Cai Jing gritted his teeth angrily.

Lu Ming hurriedly said. 'Father-in-law. Now this Li Yibai is amazing. As far as I know, what hydropower stations, schools, factories he built in Lin'an. I almost want to turn Lin'an upside down. And he also has more than 100 guards. This is simply trying to rebel in Lin'an. The things he did were all bizarre and demonic, all of which we had never seen before.

A demon like him is our enemy, and it is not good for us. We've got to find a way to get rid of him. ’

Cai Jingdao, 'Today he won a game. No big deal. I can also see that the emperor also wants to do this. Immediately notified, Lin'an's accounts were all cleared, the fake account books were prepared, and then handed over to Li Yibai. ’

Thank you Captain Gao for your help. I'm going back to Lin'an. I'm sure I'll be back in the capital in the future. We'll reminisce about the old days. Li Yibai arched his hand.

Gao Yu stood at the door and watched Li Yibai and Liu Erqiu go away before returning home.

Li Yibai and Liu Erqiu walked to a remote corner.

Li Yibai flew back to Lin'an with him.

This time, as soon as I returned to Lin'an. Liu Erqiu immediately ordered the post station to notify officials from all over Lin'an to come to the government for a meeting.

Lin'an's transfer envoy, section degree envoy, command envoy, general judgment, regimental training deputy envoy. The subordinate magistrates and so on are here.

As soon as everyone arrived, Liu Erqiu read the holy decree in public. Li Yibai was appointed as the new transfer envoy.

The transshipment envoy was an important position, in charge of the local tax collection and transportation, and even the officials who inspected the local area.

When everyone saw that Li Yibai was the new transfer envoy, they congratulated one after another. There are even a lot of people who pat themselves on the back.

Li Yibai didn't bird them, and announced it directly in public.

'Lin'an's taxes were halved. At the same time, you are not allowed to collect all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and if I find out, I will not spare them. ’

Officials everywhere nodded yes. But they were all laughing secretly in their hearts, 'It's just the three fires of the new official's appointment.' ’

After announcing the matter, Li Yibai went home.

The next day, Li Yibai continued to inform Xiaoqiang to plant fruit trees.

Now it's easy to do, and almost the entire people of Nancheng came to Li Yibai's house to thank Li Yibai.

'Transporter, my lord. National Teacher. Li Jieyuan. You are our benefactor. You've cut so much of our taxes. We really don't know how to thank you. There's a little bit of souvenir here, so take it. ’

There are even many people who come from afar, all of them are far away from Lin'an. walked more than 100 miles to Li Yibai's house.

'Li Jieyuan, we still like to call you Li Jieyuan. You've done our family a great favor. Our family almost ran away. As a result, your tax cut saved us in time, so that our family did not have to flee the famine. We love to be in our hometown. There are three eggs here, not a tribute, please accept it. You will always be our Li Jieyuan. ’

It was two little girls from a long distance who spoke, and the two little girls knelt on the ground and asked Li Yibai to accept the eggs.

Li Yibai hurriedly helped them up, "You guys get up quickly." ’

The two little girls were very stubborn, 'Li Jieyuan didn't accept it.' We don't get up. ’

Li Yibai knows that their ease is heavy, since they are so stubborn, let's eat an egg.

Immediately, Li Yibai opened an egg and ate it.

You see I took it. It's going down. ’

The two little girls immediately smiled.

Li Yibai sent the two little girls home in a carriage and gave them 100 taels of silver to improve their lives.

Remember, I will let you live happily ever after. ’

The two little girls sat in the carriage and looked back at Li Yibai, and they shed tears of emotion.

Xiaoqiang once again gathered nearby farmers and organized everyone to plant fruit trees.

This time they easily said yes. And said, 'This time, we must seriously grow the best fruits and let Li Xie Yuan help us sell them.' ’

'yes. Oh, yes. Now Li Jieyuan is providing us with food for three years free of charge. This kindness is unforgettable. He's all for our good, not to make our money. ’

At that time, of course, you have seen who harvested fruit at a higher price than others. ’

The peasants received grain and some silver taels, and they began to plant fruit trees in their fields.

Xiaoqiang went back and reported all this to Li Yibai.

Li Yibai felt very happy after hearing this.

'Xiaoqiang, I have a project now, and I want you to help me do it. That's green rice. Now we've made green apples. Green rice hasn't been made yet. You must know that our Da Song rice can be sold at a high price in the United States. ’

Xiaoqiang was puzzled, 'We sell at a high price?' Isn't there no shortage of rice in the United States? I don't know how the young master sells it for a high price. ’

Li Yibai shook his head a little disappointed, after all, Xiaoqiang is just a martial artist, and he doesn't know a few big characters. Let him do such a thing, and it really won't work. Looks like I'll have to find someone smarter to do it. In the future, Xiaoqiang will continue to be responsible for escorting goods and guarding.

Who to look for? Yu Hao is a talent, but Yu Hao is also in charge of the base in the United States. My Ivanka and Miss Gong Er, the two ladies are also talents. But I can't bear to let them do things, I'm afraid they will be tired.

So, I still have to find such a talent.

Let's forget about it. I'll find someone else to do it later. You continue to send apples first, and then report back to me from time to time on the operation of the major factories. ’

'It's the young master. Xiaoqiang arched.

In his spare time, Li Yibai walked alone in the factory area, and he heard the workers busy working. He was relieved.

He walked to the school zone again. Hear the voices of workers reading aloud and learning. He was relieved again.

Now his goods, his workers have bought a lot, and his middle-class training program is steadily advancing. He knew that in the future, the workers would be richer and would buy more new technological products.

He walked into the factory again.

Workers are organizing a study of Li Yibai's speech in the square.

When they saw Li Yibai coming over, they all stood up and said hello.

Li Yibai smiled faintly and said, "Everyone's income has increased." ’

The workers said, 'This is all thanks to Li Jieyuan, we not only have enough food and clothing, but also a lot of money to spare.' I also have electric lights in my house. I also used toothpaste and a toothbrush. ’

At this time, a factory director came over, "Li Jieyuan, we are living a good life now." Thank you very much. At the same time, we have followed your instructions and studied your speech deeply.

We've all deepened our understanding of what it takes to learn how to be middle class.

Now the best one we learn here is Wang Xiaosan. He was able to memorize everything in the booklet. ’

Li Yibai smiled faintly, "It's not enough to carry it with light." And can understand. Each of you paints a picture of the middle class that you recognize. Everyone has to write this essay. Give it to me when it's written. I personally corrected it. ’

'Yes. The crowd replied. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
