Chapter 884 - Intertwined (Calling for a Monthly Pass)

There was silence in the court, only Uncle Li's gasp, well, the old guy deliberately gasped so much to show his anger, and then, Uncle Li took a long breath, and seemed to be trying his best to control his temper: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are so many loopholes in my tax system in the Tang Dynasty, but it really makes me tremble...... I don't know what suggestions you have for my Datang tax law? Uncle Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, pretending not to see me, his eyes were confused, as if everything was unknown, and he was looking for answers.

Uncle Li's question is very fake, there is no way, the superior has to be able to act, just like this son-in-law on the surface of the serious education of the third child not to fall in love, when he squatted in the house and hugged his mother-in-law to make love, it is probably Uncle Li's current mood.

At this time, Gao Shilian, the gray-haired old man, stood up: "The old minister has something to say." ”

"Gao Lao Aiqing has words, but it doesn't hurt to speak." Uncle Li performed with Mr. Gao at the court meeting, singing and saying that the current rent adjustment system in the Tang Dynasty is indeed very flawed, and if it is not reformed, it will put Li Min in dire straits, and then, my father, the eldest grandson Yinren, Uncle Li Jing, Ma Zhou and other important ministers of the court all unanimously made suggestions to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to allow changes to the old tax system, in order to better meet the needs of modern Datang's social and economic development.

Uncle Li happily agreed, and from this day on, the whole world knew that Uncle Li had rubbed the bloody hands of the power that had cut and torn the family's gate valve, and installed a high-power electric chain saw.

Once things start, there is no room to turn back, Uncle Li's performance today is not only to show his attitude to the people of the world, but also to tell those family lords and princes and nobles that the good old days of only taking money and not paying the price have passed.

For more than a month, every morning, Uncle Li would edict me to enter the palace, not only to explain to him some things he did not understand about the new tax law, but also to take on the responsibility of working with him to persuade the important officials of the court. Among the important ministers of the court, among the heads of the six departments of the three provinces, my father, the eldest grandson Yinren, Ma Zhou, Gao Shilian, Uncle Li Jing and other leaders all stood on Uncle Li's side and adopted a supportive attitude, but there were also many ministers who agreed on the surface but actually held opposing views.

------------------------------------------------However, in the "Datang Times Weekly" and "Datang Daily", many people in Datang have expressed their opinions and suggestions on them, and the discussion is quite intense, but among them, the most sudden thing is that almost most of the authors of the articles believe that the reform of the tax system in Datang is an inevitable general direction, because the vast majority of the literati are enthusiastic young people, in addition, Ben Gongzi also found a lot of gunmen.

It can't be said that it is a gunman, it should be the vanguard of the reformists, whether it is Wang Yifang, Wei Shuyu, or Luo Binwang or my old man, as well as the manuscripts published by my son under a pseudonym, at least, the public opinion of reform occupies the highest point.

However, the situation is still developing in favor of the side, at least, among the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, a considerable number of them are upstarts promoted by Uncle Li, and their opposition is not strong, and the other point is that the people who oppose it are mainly old families, including the Qinghe Fang family, that is, my father's own family, and many people have complaints and write letters to my old man, suggesting that his old man can mediate from it, think about the long-term interests of the family, and strive for benefits.

"Wrong knots, wrong knots......" Uncle Li sat on the couch, his brows were furrowed tightly, his face was as heavy as water, and his fingers gently tapped on the table, the sound was like the sound of a drumbeat urging life, which made people tremble when they heard it, Uncle Li looked amiable on the surface, but in fact, he was definitely a decisive emperor, and no one knew what would happen to the obstacles that dared to stop him.

In front of Uncle Li's desk, there are no less than a dozen books, all of which are handed over by Uncle Li's relatives, including Uncle Li's aunt, Tang Gaozu's sister and Princess Tong'an, who also sent private messages, advising their nephew emperor to think twice, in fact, it is not for the sake of the Taiyuan Wang family, one of the four great families of the Tang Dynasty.

Uncle Li's scratch is indeed right, there are many connections between the family lords, princes and nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and it is almost a huge spider web, and this web is the reason why Uncle Li is annoyed and angry today. Because, in the past ten days, the news of the alliance between the princes and nobles of the Tang Dynasty and the family gate lords has been continuously presented to Uncle Li's case. How did Uncle Li not be angry, among them, Uncle Li's two half-brothers were the most intense, Li Boyi, the king of Longxi, and his brother Li Fengci, the king of Bohai, both of whom were the sons of Li Zhan, the second brother of Gaozu Li Yuan, died early, and after Li Yuan built the Tang Dynasty and became emperor, he named his brother Li Zhan the king of Shu, and these two guys also became princes.

However, these two brothers are arrogant and proud, and they have no ability, when the Li family fought the world, these two guys also took the opportunity to get a reward, but Li Boyi's palace actually had hundreds of wives and concubines, and the palace was dressed in silk, and every meal must be exquisite and varied.

Even Gao Zu couldn't see the luxury of these two people, but after all, it was the flesh and blood left by his brother, and he had repeatedly admonished the two brothers, but not only did it have no effect, but the two brothers also complained that Li Yuan looked down on them and did not let them become officials and participate in the affairs of the court.

Li Yuan trembled angrily, and finally simply gave two hundred silks to each of the two brothers, and asked them to buy some scriptures and history to study, if they have the ability, when I am an uncle, I will naturally reuse you.

However, until Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, died, these two guys didn't talk about their skills, I am afraid that the two hundred horses of silk would have already become their clothes, or they would have been replaced with wine and food. Uncle Li also once complained that his own children did not study well, and it was clear that there were these two cousins there as role models.

But today, these two princes jumped out. directly pointed out that Uncle Li's approach was inappropriate, and it hurt the hearts of their royal relatives who were loyal to the city and patriotic and wept for the country, Uncle Li laughed angrily, pointed to the two books that he threw on the ground and said angrily: "How can I have such a cousin?!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, the two princes, I don't understand the reason for the matter, but I don't agree with the reform of the tax law, and think that the current tax system of my Datang is beneficial to the country and the people, which can be regarded as a loyal heart." Chu Suiliang stood up and persuaded him.

The corners of ------------------------------------------------ Ma Zhou's mouth curled slightly: "Those who support Your Majesty, and those who oppose Your Majesty, in fact, must have been expected by Your Majesty, the concerns of the two Highnesses must be that once the reform of my Tang tax system fills the loopholes, their quality of life will decline a lot, so they will speak out to obstruct it, in the same way, among the people who oppose it, they are either nobles or princes." Otherwise, it is a person who has a big connection with the family gate, or a person who has an interest in big businessmen and big landowners. It can be imagined from this that this time, His Majesty's tax law reform has indeed touched the interests of these people. That's why they can't sleep like this. Your Majesty should be happy, so why be angry? ”

Flattery! Definitely sycophant! But the shooting was quite level, and even I, an excellent touting master, almost couldn't help but want to applaud, not to mention others, even Uncle Li, who was still resentful just now, really turned his anger into joy after listening to Ma Zhou's words: "Aiqing's words are very satisfying." ”

Uncle Li is not the kind of man who cares about his head once he gets angry, and if that were the case, he would not be in the position he is in today.

Uncle Li quickly calmed down, thought for a long time, and said, "Uncle Huang, what is the movement of the clan?" Uncle Li's gaze fell on an elder who was not much older than him.

This is the current Zong Zhengqing of the Tang Dynasty and Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi. The highest official who specializes in managing the affairs of the royal family. He is also Li Shentong's younger brother, a very strange name, I once asked Li Zhi about the origin of his name, and then I knew that the two of them are Li Yuan's uncle, the son of Li Liang, the assassin of Haizhou, this Li Zhi's uncle is a Taoist person, and has a high attainment in Taoism, and his two sons were weak and sick when they were young, this Li Liang gave this magical name to the two brothers, one is called Shentong, well, this is better, but since this brother has a rune? No matter how you hear it, I think this name is too frustrating.

However, the person is good-looking, although he is not as good as Uncle Li's majestic and majestic martial arts qualifications, but there is a thin elder with an elegant and peaceful atmosphere, and he is indeed a scholar, and his academic status has also made many Confucian masters feel admired, and he can be regarded as a famous scholar in the royal family, who has a high reputation in the clan, and his attitude is very critical, fortunately, he has always stood firmly on Uncle Li's side.
