Li Anran is very clear about the purpose of Li Shimin's continuous rewards, which is nothing more than buying and winning over for future use.

But in Li Anran's view, the other party's means of buying and wooing him are really not enough.

You think, whether it's a pure yang real person or a real person who protects the country, it's just a false name. If Li Anran wants to do things under the banner of Taoism, he can have a lot of use with these two titles, but he has no intention of doing so at all. Moreover, the so-called Daomen is actually like the court in the world, it is a system.

Even though Li Anran has many miraculous means to prove that he is indeed a master in the world, it is really elusive to be unable to stand people's thoughts and desires. If this is entered into this system, not to mention whether you can do anything with the titles of pure yang real people and protector real people, God knows how much trouble Lu Dao will get involved in the future.

What's more, these two titles, especially the titles of the real people who protect the country, should be rewarded with great fanfare. As a result, he just sent an attendant to give the Dao Holy Decree casually. Even with this holy decree, the title of the true person who protects the country is indeed true, but in terms of influence, it is far inferior to those so-called virtuous people and virtuous people who were edicted by Li Shimin to the world.

In addition to the title, not to mention the reward of Taihang Mountain, as I said before, this place is too big, even if it falls under Li Anran's name, it is not much different from nothing. As for the gifts of silk and satin, gold and silver, jewelry, jade, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and other goods, their value is even more limited.

"Li Er is too stingy, you want me to give him such a little benefit? Dream! But. It's better than nothing, and it's not in vain, at least the poultry purchased is definitely profitable. Li Anran, who had a mouthful of fragrant tea and didn't take a sip, thought secretly while continuing to wait for the evil guest in front of him to continue.

"The Enlightenment Academy, the Culinary Skills Training Course, the Chinese Medicine Training Course, the Driving Training Course, and the Agricultural College, I understand." After repeating these rather novel names, Cheng Yanjin said again: "This second thing, the saint wants to ask the real person, the commercial tax of this commercial street. How's the trial going? ”

"Business tax?" When this way of collecting taxes was taken out in the first place. Li Anran knew that the Tao would definitely be adopted by Li Shimin. After all, this kind of tax, in modern time and space, is a general tax used by all countries on the entire earth, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has condensed the essence of the commercial field for hundreds or even thousands of years, and it is not uneasy for the other party to be moved.

As for what is going on right now, I will ask through Cheng Biting Jin's mouth, rather than asking directly. Li Anran only groaned for a while, and then he had some speculation. One comes. Although Li Shimin is the king of a country. However, the operation of the entire Tang Dynasty is still closely related to the wealthy families, and the commercial tax violates the vested interests of these people in some aspects.

It is precisely so as not to cause any trouble. Li Shimin only put on an attitude of ignoring it at the beginning. And this time privately asked. It's just that the other party asked about this matter through Cheng Biting Jin's mouth this time, in Li Anran's opinion, in addition to not wanting to be too deeply involved, most of them still have the meaning of determining the amount of tax during the commercial tax period and the whereabouts of the tax.

It's not that Li Shimin is really short of money to this extent, it's really because the "money scene" of commercial tax is quite huge. In the past, I didn't care about this aspect for the sake of locust plagues and rumors, but now that the locust plagues in various parts of Kannai Province have gradually subsided, and the work of disaster relief and reassurance of the people is also being carried out in an orderly manner, I thought of this matter.

When he proposed the commercial tax before, he just hoped that this new tax would bring huge changes to Datang, so that he could get some benefits about the traversal ability and mysterious runes from it, and Li Anran, who had never thought of using any crooked brains on this money, so, seeing that it was about this matter, he said very simply:

"The trial of the commercial tax has gone smoothly, and the tax accounts in all aspects are complete. As for the taxes, they are currently placed here with me, and I originally planned to entrust General Cheng Xiao to go to Chang'an in a few days, since General Cheng asked, I think it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, I will let the people below prepare the accounts and taxes, and General Cheng will take them away directly. ”

"Since that's the case, there is Lao Zhenren." Originally, Cheng Biting Jin, who did come with this purpose, saw that the other party was so cooperative, and all the rhetoric he had prepared before did not come in handy, and at the moment, he didn't say anything sour like some literati, and said directly with his fists clenched.

"The general doesn't have to be polite." Li Anran, who waved his hand, asked Xiangyun to be called to the front hall after speaking, and ordered: "Yun'er, go and sort out the accounts of the trial commercial tax during this period and the taxes paid by those shops, and General Cheng will bring it back to Chang'an." ”

"Yes, young master." Seeing Cheng Biting Jin, who was still eating and drinking, Xiangyun, who was still eating and drinking, who was still sitting on the side, easily deduced some things, didn't ask anything, and after giving a light salute, he dragged Su Xiaomei, who was waiting outside, to go to the treasury to check the accounts, and asked people to count out every tax and load it on the donkey cart.

"General Cheng, let's talk about the third thing." Li Anran, who was really too lazy to talk to the other party anymore, said.

Knowing that he was really not a popular object in the eyes of the other party, Cheng Biting Jin, after swallowing the last piece of dried meat, he poured down the grapes in the cup, and then said: "The third thing is that the Holy Lord asked me to ask the real person, what is his opinion on the matter of Tuli descending to the Tang Dynasty and the Jieli faction envoy wanting to exchange Liang Shidu for Khitan. ”

"The matter of Tuli descending to Tang and Jieli sending envoys wanting to exchange Liang Shidu for Khitan?" Li Anran, who originally thought that Li Shimin had taken a fancy to something about himself again, or wanted to ask him for some help, didn't expect the other party to mention these two things, so after being stunned for a moment, he said: "I said General Cheng, you're not joking, right?" ”

"Why did the real man say that?" Cheng Yanjin, who was also stunned for a moment, asked.

"Please, this is the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, Li ...... What would the Holy One ask me to think? I'm not Li Yuanfang! Thinking back to the popular TV series line on the modern time and space network, Li Anran said angrily.

"Who is Li Yuanfang?" Surprised that the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty were related to this person, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly asked.

"Uh...... He's a good guy, and he's often asked, 'Yuan Fang, what do you think?' 'The unlucky guy. Li Anran, who knew that he had said something wrong, hurriedly changed the topic and said: "General Cheng, I have to ask you to go back to the Holy Lord, I am a person from the upper realm, even if I enter the red dust and respond to the catastrophe, I can't ask about such a big thing, so I can't do anything." ”

"I see, then so-and-so must return the reply of the real person to the saint." Cheng Yanjin, who originally expected a similar answer, was not surprised at all, but he remembered the name of Li Yuanfang in his heart. When I turned around, I planned to let people check who this person was, and why he could make the person in front of him talk about it, and he was very familiar.

"Then please General Cheng." Li Anran, who arched his hand, saw that the other party had no intention of leaving, so he could only say helplessly: "I don't know if the general came over this time, is there anything else?" ”

"The real person is really discerning, and there is indeed something I want to ask." Cheng Biting Jin, who was not embarrassed at all, said with a smile.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Waving his hand, Li Anran said.

"I heard that the real person has already refined a large number of body refining potions?" Zhilu Dao, the temperamental Cheng Yanjin in front of him, was not polite, and asked directly.

"As I said, this is just a substitute, and it is fundamentally different from the potion I brought down from the Upper Realm. However, the effect is not bad. How? General Cheng is interested? Li Anran, who glanced at the other party, asked.

"Yes, of course, it's a good thing. Even if it is not as good as the original potion, as long as it can be as effective as the real person said, it is enough. I just don't know how many real people are there? Cheng Biting Jin, who was stroking his palm, asked.

"In this way, this substitute was originally intended for Datang. Since General Cheng is interested, let's take away five hundred catties first. Zhilu said that the other party dared to say this, it would definitely not be just what he wanted, most likely because of Li Shimin's instructions, Li Anran did not refuse, and waved his hand directly and said.
