The printing house under the name of this son pays nearly 80,000 yuan in taxes to Datang every year, and the taxes paid by the profiteering industries such as liquor factories and glass mills are as high as 200,000 yuan.

However, the proportion of industrial and commercial taxes in Datang has reached an astonishing 37 percent, and it can be said that if the development rate continues, the proportion of agricultural taxes will be almost negligible in two or three decades at most.

"Virtuous son-in-law, it seems that what you said to the old man back then is really about to come true......" Uncle Li said with emotion on his face, patting the statistics on the table, and smiling at me. This is last year's report, on the top, it is full of dense numbers, well, it is a number, not the previous account book that can only write dozens of words on a page, but replaced with the number invented by Ben Gongzi to record.

Last night, under the persuasion of my son's sweet words, Cheng Luanluan finally danced a stunning and cool belly dance for me, the husband, the dancing limbs, the soft as a snake, the body as fast as a snake, the cool and sweat-free ice muscles and jade bones, teasing me almost wanted to pick off the human skin on my body, and directly put on a wolf skin to put it on. This son didn't sleep all night, and played with our beautiful beauty for almost a night, and at dusk, Cheng Luan was greasy like a cake and sugar begging for mercy, I just took a nap with a little regret, hugging this beauty.

But who would have thought that Uncle Li was nervous again, and called me into the palace early in the morning, and Uncle Li didn't talk nonsense with me, so he went straight to the point.

"In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, the income of industrial and commercial tax accounted for a little more than one percent of my Tang Dynasty tax ...... ten percent, and now, the proportion is close to forty percent, the richer the treasury, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment "On the side, the elder of the Tang Dynasty and Uncle Li's elder Gao Shilian is also happy, the Tang Dynasty is not the Han Dynasty, although on the surface, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it was also clamored to be heavy on agriculture and suppress business, and once reiterated the order of cheap merchants in the early Han Dynasty, prohibiting industrial and commercial people from entering the government as officials and other means to suppress businessmen, but in fact, At the moment when Uncle Li shouted slogans to the sky, a large number of international business travelers and Datang's business and trade exchanges were even more prosperous than those of the former Sui, and although the merchants were not officials, they were actually still freshly dressed and angry, and they were very proud.

Of course, a businessman is not an official, and this is now tantamount to farting, not to mention others, this son can now be regarded as a wealthy businessman in the world, but he is also an official of the court, and he is Uncle Li's son-in-law.

------------------------------------------------Even Uncle Li doesn't have a stake in my products, let alone the crown prince Li Zhi and several other princes and gentlemen who are good friends with me. Nowadays, Datang has not yet been involved with businessmen, and I am afraid that there are only a few of them.

"Father-in-law, you are looking for a son-in-law, I don't know if there is anything that needs the son-in-law's service." I have a faint feeling that Uncle Li will definitely not come to this son as simply as bragging about what he did last year, otherwise, he will not let Hubu Shangshu squat with me.

"Do you remember the advice you made to the old man back then?" Uncle Li smiled and took a sip of ginkgo tea. And the head of the household, also looked at me with a smile on his face, understood, Uncle Li really seemed to want to carry out tax reform, back then, the Tang Dynasty was in the stage of using troops everywhere, the country's will was mainly military, and now, the surrounding area of the Tang Dynasty has been relatively stable, and war is no longer just the use of force, trade, culture, espionage, in short, but all the means that are beneficial to my Tang Empire, must be used.

Moreover, in the past few years, Datang's national grain reserves have reached an unprecedented peak. Domestic tax revenues have also doubled, the country is internally stable, and in the eyes of the people, such a happy life is extremely rare. All in all, in the Tang Dynasty, there is a voice of praise for the Tang political institutions ruled by Uncle Li, and abroad, even if Uncle Li raises his ass, he can scare the surrounding subject countries.

Of course, although the Tibetans and the Western Turks do not sell their accounts, however, their current strength, there is no way to shake the Tang Dynasty's rule over the surrounding areas, besides, the leaders of the Turks and Tibetans are very reasonable, but it is precisely because of this cautious reason that it is easier for the Tang Dynasty to take the pace of its own reforms, without worrying about how much trauma the war will bring to the country.

Just like Uncle Li said at this stage, keeping the enemy out of the country and eliminating all potential threats can bring enough time and space for the development of the economy, culture, life, and military level to Datang.

“…… So," Uncle Li wiped his mouth, and then said: "Now that the country is stable, and the business endowment is getting heavier, the old man has considered the tax law reform bill mentioned by the virtuous son-in-law since the beginning of this year, but it has been too long, and the old man can't remember many joints clearly. ”

Uncle Li finally told him why he dragged me out of bed early in the morning. However, Uncle Li's words really made me a big difficulty, at that time, many of my sons were copying the world's practices, for the current Datang, it is not very applicable at all, the most important thing is that the tax reform is not like military reform, military reform only involves one aspect of Datang, and taxation is a major event related to everyone in the world, how can you be careless?

"Why do you hesitate to do so, do you think that the old man is inconvenient to speak?" Elder Gao had gray hair and a sickly face, but the look in his eyes was still extremely sharp. I hurriedly shook my head and said, "It definitely has nothing to do with Elder Gao, it's just that this matter is very important, and it is too wide-ranging, and the younger generation should not be careful." ”

"Hehe, the words of the virtuous son-in-law can be regarded as the words of the old man to seek the country, but the old man is not willing to wait any longer, since Zhenguan sent troops to conquer Liaodong in the eighteenth year, it has been four years, and now the four seas are peaceful, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are good, but I remember a conversation between Wei Qing and me in the Qinzheng Palace......"

Uncle Li's eyes showed a slight sadness, and he said slowly, back then, when he was handling government affairs with His Royal Highness, some courtiers asked the wise monarch of the Tang Dynasty to pay attention to his body and not to be too tired, but Uncle Li said something like this: "Governing the country is like curing a disease, although the disease is cured, it is still advisable to protect it." If you indulge yourself and relapse from illness, you will not be able to save it. Today's China is fortunate to be safe, all four are obedient, sincere since ancient times, but I said cautiously, only afraid of the end, so I want to count the Qing generations to fight also. ”

Regardless of what others answered, but Uncle Wei Zheng's words have become a model explanation of the idiom to be prepared for danger in times of peace, my son's profession is a teacher, so I deeply remember that Uncle Wei Zheng replied: "Internal and external security, the minister is not happy, but His Majesty is happy to be in danger." ”

Sure enough, after Uncle Li said the answer between Uncle Wei Zheng and him, his face was sad: "Wei Qing's words back then are still in my ears, but the person has passed away, and I am very sad!" ”

------------------------------------------------ "Please also ask Your Majesty to mourn, the Tang Dynasty can have such a prosperous world, thanks to Your Majesty, if Lord Wei has a spirit in the sky, knowing that His Majesty attaches so much importance to him, his heart ......is enough," Gao Shilian spoke first and comforted. Uncle Li nodded silently, and then looked at me. "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared, and be prepared. Virtuous son-in-law, the old man is asking you for my preparation for the Tang Dynasty. ”

Uncle Li, such a monarch, can take people as a mirror, can take history as a mirror, always be cautious, think for the people of the world, and work hard for the happiness of the people of China. With such a Ming Jun, how can Datang not be dominant in this great era?

I got off the bed and bowed to Uncle Li: "With Your Majesty's love, I have a life, for my Tang Dynasty, for my Chinese people, even if Weichen is full of liver and brain, he will not give up." Please allow me for a while, and after careful consideration by the ministers, I will record all the relevant ideas on a piece of paper, and then present them to Your Majesty, and then ask Your Majesty to judge them personally. ”

"Hehe, good, worthy of the Qilin of the Fang family, the old man doesn't care what he commands, he has never seen a virtuous son-in-law cry out for bitterness, a cry of tiredness, I can get this good minister, Fang Qing's merit is also." Uncle Li lifted me up with a happy face, and said softly with a black beard under his chin.

"Your Majesty's words are true, the outstanding one among the younger generation is none other than this son, after the old man looks at my Tang Dynasty, those who can become successful are only three or four, and those who can be so young, but can do their best not to be selfish, but to plan for the world, there is only this son." Mr. Gao Shilian also had an expression of 'I am very optimistic about you'.

Compliments make me red-faced, well, although it is the truth, but usually when Uncle Li and I brag to each other, most of them are half-drunk and half-awake, and my mind is numb, so I can naturally not blush and not beat my heart.
