The main problem of officers is the transfer of personnel. Li Yu knew that the reason for the delay in the victory of the Huaixi campaign in history was that the dozen or so soldiers and horses who sent troops were not in harmony, and some of the jiedu envoys were selfish, hoping that the war would last longer, and that the imperial court would fail, so if we wanted to pacify Huaixi, we must first find a way to adjust the jiedu envoys around Huaixi, and adjusting the jiedu envoys also had the advantage of strengthening the central government's control over the localities and reversing the centrifugal tendency of some feudal towns.

The big town in the south of Huaixi is Shannan Dongdao, and the east is bordered by Chen Xu, and what Li Yu has to do now is to adjust the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu to make Yu Di and Chen Xu Jiedu to make Liu Changyi. These two people are talents, Yu Di entered the office with the shade of the door, and was more respectful at first, but Zhenyuan was arrogant after ten years of Suzhou Thorn History, and later went through the local central office, since Zhenyuan moved to Shannan Dongdao in the fourteenth year, it is like a land of Hannan, Ling is arrogant and lawless. Liu Changyi is wise, in the fifteenth year of Zhenyuan, Wu Shaocheng plotted to seize the land of Chen Xu, it was really Liu Changyi's plan to murder the rebel generals and rebels more than 1,000 people to save Chen Xu, Zhenyuan nineteen years after serving as Chen Xujiedu's envoy, because Huaixi is strong, Liu Changyi attaches great importance to the relationship with Wu Shaocheng, he ordered the border sergeant not to invade Wu Shaocheng's realm, such as Wu Shaocheng's sergeant who has committed Chen Xu's realm, after being captured, they will be tied up and sent to Wu Shaocheng for disposal. In this regard, Wu Shaocheng was often ashamed of himself, and later ordered his border sergeants not to plunder Chen Xu. Although it is for self-preservation, this relationship is dazzling when the imperial court is preparing to clean up Huaixi.

More troublesome than the problem of officials is the problem of money, the pacification of Xichuan has made the imperial court revitalized, and the arrogance of some feudal towns has also begun to be reined in, such as Yu Di, Xichuan has been much more respectful in his words and deeds after the pacification. Both the crown prince and Li Jifu believed that as long as the method was right, Yu Di and Liu Changyi would obediently enter the court, and the real problem was the problem of war readiness, in other words, in money.

The problem of money is a problem that the whole court is crazy about, the court needs money for expenses, money for military training, money for soldiers, money for grain, money for pacifying feudal towns, and money for the reward expenses of the emperor's relatives and relatives, where does the money come from? Of course, it is the common people, but the exploitation of the common people is getting heavier and heavier, and there are more and more fugitive hukous, and the more fugitive hukou, the less tax sources of the imperial court, and the smaller the population controlled by the imperial court, the heavier the exploitation will be, so that a vicious circle will be formed, and sooner or later one day it will intensify into a great uprising, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, and history is like this, so Li Yuyi first took the throne to exempt Guanzhong from paying taxes for two years, and exempted the people from all over the country from the accumulated tax arrears. This year, Xichuan and Dongchuan were exempted from taxes for one year, hoping to give the people a recuperation, so that Du You and Li Xun were suffering.

Taxes have been exempted so much, the commercial tax has been reduced from ten taxes to twelve taxes, if the emperor had changed to a transfer envoy, he would have committed suicide a long time ago, fortunately, Li Yu will not only throttle, but also know that open source, Chang'an, which has gathered the most wealth in the country, has more than doubled its tax revenue since it began to tear down the wall and abolish the curfew last year, which has more than offset the impact of tax exemption, and the merchants around the country have become more and more prosperous, and the tax has also increased a lot, but this year the court has used more money, and the money is still not enough, Li Yu has even regretted equipping the guards with a Mo knife, this thing is powerful, But it's too expensive, can't a spear be used just as well?

The two pieces were placed in front of Li Chan, and the excitement of pacifying Xichuan had long passed. Li Yu felt that this emperor was so powerless.

One of the two recitals is from Lu Zhen, which is very simple, that is, now there is not enough money, and he requests to prohibit the private casting of bronze utensils. The main currency of the Tang Dynasty is copper money, due to the development of commercial activities, the demand for money is increasing, causing the price of copper to skyrocket, the imperial court is at a loss to mint money, many large families collect copper money and return to the furnace to cast copperware, and then change hands, can make a big profit from the middle, the more copper, the less copper in circulation, the less copper, the less copper money, the more expensive the copper price, the more private bronze ware. This thing is not forbidden, and the more it is forbidden, the more people will only be able to cast it. The lack of money has restricted the development of the commodity economy, and in disguise has restricted Li Chen's taxation, and Li Yu was extremely irritable and wrote "reconsiderate" on Lu Zhen's recital.

A copy of Wei Zhiyi from the New Year. After Wei Zhiyi arrived in Hunan, he kept in mind Li Chen's eight-character motto of "improving the people's livelihood and consolidating the country's foundation", and he made a simple and simple follow, openly and secretly visited, and in the three months since he took office, more than a dozen officials have been dismissed, and a number of malpractices have been abolished, and Hunan has a new look.

"The minister inspected Yongzhou, and knew that there was a wild snake in Yongzhou, the snake was highly poisonous, and then it was used as bait, which could have been windy, spasm, fistula, to kill the muscles, and kill the three insects. The imperial physician gathers him by the king's order, and recruits those who can catch him, and when he rents it, the eternal ones will fight for it. There is the Jiang family, Zhuqili III, the ancestors and fathers all died because of this, the ministers have mercy on them, and they want to stop their service and resume their taxes, and their great mourning says: 'The public wants to harm me? Yu III has lived in the countryside for 60 years, and I have lived with my ancestors, and now there is no one in his room; He who dwells with my father is now in his room; Those who have lived with me for 12 years have no room in the present. All of them are heavily taxed, and if they are not dead, they will be migrated. And I live alone as a snake catcher. If you want to save me, don't give me back! The minister was speechless for a long time, and thought that what Confucius said was true. The taxes are heavy, the hooligans (people) are many, and if you want to consolidate the country, you must have a good life and support the people. ”

Taxes are heavy! Li Yu, who had already classified himself as a wise monarch in advance, did not expect that the Tang Empire under his rule would be so weak elsewhere and the people's livelihood would wither under the prosperous appearance of Chang'an. I thought that if I changed Liu Zongyuan's fate, I would not see "Jiang Xue" and "The Snake Catcher Said" again, but Liu Zongyuan's fate changed, the fate of the snake catcher did not change, Liu Zongyuan went to Quanzhou and did not go to Yongzhou, but the snake catcher was still waiting for others to discover their fate in Yongzhou.

Governing a country well is not as simple as fighting and killing, if this continues, when the feudal towns are pacified, it will be the time for the Tang Dynasty to fall. Relying on the wealth left by Dezong, he had the courage to exempt Guanzhong, the taxes of the two rivers, and now it has been more than a year since he crossed, building mausoleums, fighting wars, reorganizing the army, and the money is spent like flowing water, and there are so many things to do, and then exempt Hunan from taxes? At least for two years, Li Yu didn't dare. This is the case in Hunan, and Jiangxi, western Zhejiang, Fujian, Lingnan and other places are afraid that it is not much better.

If there are one war after another, I am afraid that I will not have a chance while I am alive.

At this time, Li Yu missed Liu Zongyuan very much.
