Plans can't keep up with the changes.

Because Fan Jingjing met the young general, she changed all her plans for the future.

I heard that their potatoes were planted in the tank, not in the soil, in order to carry them into the palace to show the eldest grandson empress, the emperor Li Shimin was very moved, and directly confiscated the potatoes and sent them to the palace, and the palace personally took care of them, so they didn't need to take care of the potatoes.

"You're such good boys." Emperor Li Shimin said with a smile.

If potatoes can really have a high yield, solving the food problem of Datang is just around the corner.

As for the royal manor on the outskirts of Chang'an, where Fan Jingjing now lives, the two of them were kicked out, relieved of their duties, and only planted potatoes to grow, and they were rewarded for their meritorious deeds.

Especially Fan Jingjing, who brought potatoes, should be the first to take credit.

As for what to do if the potatoes were planted to death, Emperor Li Shimin did not say.

According to Fan Jingjing's words, Emperor Li Shimin drew a large piece of land for Fan Jingjing to reclaim in a wilderness on the outskirts of Chang'an.

Fortunately, this wilderness has an advantage, there is a road nearby, it is the main road from Luoyang to Chang'an, and it is often passed.

That is, this road, very noisy and dusty, in different sections, there are people who open shops and do a small business.

The situation of buying horses in the east market and long whips in the west is only regulated in big cities like Chang'an City.

As for doing business in the suburbs, there is no such rule, unless you obstruct the authorities and let people report it, and if you provide convenience, no one will care about you.

The Tang Dynasty did not begin to collect taxes on Guanjin until the time of Wu Zetian, but it was abolished soon after, and the situation of competing with merchants for profit was basically impossible for many dynasties to win.

Even if he is as powerful as Wu Zetian, the policy is not enforced when the businessman has already become bigger.

It wasn't until after the Anshi Rebellion that the merchants were taxed in troubled times, which was equivalent to paying money to buy their lives.

The Jiedu envoy and the observer envoy were equivalent to local warlords, and merchants had to pay taxes for their own safety, but at this time the collection of industrial and commercial taxes was quite chaotic, and the severity varied from place to place.

In the early Tang Dynasty, merchants had to pay the same taxes as ordinary households, which means that merchants were not independently listed at this time.

But if a businessman has money, he can use the money to buy some privileges, which can free him from some personal freedom and constraints, so that he can do business freely.

The land reclaimed by Fan Jingjing is also regarded as Fan Jingjing's assets, and it is included in the scope of her real estate, and it will be taxed in the future.

The wasteland that Fan Jingjing got contained a mountain and many wild beasts, that is, a pure wilderness, at most the nearby residents would go up the mountain to cut wood.

As for the most important money, Fan Jingjing still didn't get any pennies from the emperor, and it was not easy to get a penny from the emperor without huge credit.

And for the emperor, he gives you something and waits for you to send more money back.

Now Datang is facing various wars, and it can be said that it needs the most money, but the people of Datang are the least populous in the history of Dahan.

Although agricultural production is much higher than that of the Han Dynasty, the money that can be obtained from the land is still too small after all.

What's more, more important than money is food.

So when he heard that Fan Jingjing's goal was to grow a lot of food, he could also see that Fan Jingjing had special insights into farming and diet.

Anyway, giving the land does not have any burden on the emperor and the Tang Dynasty, he can give the other party a chance, but giving money is the money for digging the treasury or the inner treasury, which is not good.

"Empress Changsun and the emperor are really a couple, and they are so picky."

Niu Shijin didn't understand what it meant to slam the door, otherwise he would have cautiously warned Fan Jingjing not to speak nonsense, and the royal family was not able to criticize, especially for those of them who were officials.

Niu Shijin knew that Fan Jingjing would be driven to a more remote part of the town, in the wilderness, how could he live in people?

"Don't you have a place to live in Chang'an? From now on, you will live in Chang'an, so that nothing will happen in the wilderness. ”

"Hmph, when you come back, I'll show you what a wilderness is."

"Be obedient and don't take any chances!"

Niu Shijin will set off with the army to support the war between the Tang army and the Qiang people.
