Everything that happened in the dark room of the Yongqiu Palace, Lin Si didn't know it, he had already appeared in Yue Luoning's book at this time. lā

"You've come back well, and I happen to have something for you to do. ”

Although the two hadn't seen each other for three or four months since the success of the first teleportation array, she didn't have any plans to reunite after a long absence, and then greet each other intimately.

"What's the matter?"

"Let's take a look at this piece first. ”

Immediately, Ying Fei held a piece of music in both hands and presented it to Lin Si's hands.

The chapter is not too thick, Lin Si opened it and took a look, and words such as farmland and taxes came to his face.

He glanced at it casually and closed the movement.

"This kind of thing, you can decide for yourself, why bother looking for me?" he had a helpless wry smile on his face.

Before coming here, he thought that Yue Luoning was going to talk to him about the future war. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be daily government affairs.

Didn't she say that she would handle this kind of thing and not interfere with it?

Faced with his question, Yue Luoning just lightly lost a word.

"You'll talk about it carefully. ”

Lin Si saw that she didn't seem to be joking, so he could only open the piece and watch it carefully.

After all, Lin Si learned these things in government affairs from Yue Luoning, of course he wouldn't understand them, but he couldn't get interested.

The content of the cantata is not too much, and it boils down to re-measuring the land of the Moon Kingdom, and then in the future, taxes and forced labor are all combined and collected according to the amount of land owned.

As for the craftsmen and merchants in the city, there is another tax scheme, which is not mentioned above.

Lin Si knew that this was a change to the tax. In the past, the state was taxed, and in addition to the land tax, there was also a tax on the number of people.

For a long time, the life of the common people in the Yue Kingdom was not easy, because some people did not have much land at all, and they could hardly talk about how much income they had, but they also had to pay taxes.

During the reign of Yueshan, although he waged wars abroad and spent a lot of money, he reduced a lot of taxes internally, and the people lived quite well.

And the reason why he was able to do this was to get money from other places.

In addition to increasing the amount of taxes levied on merchants, the main reliance was on the seizure of corrupt officials and nobles and the confiscation of their property.

For this reason, he sometimes even fabricated charges out of thin air.

One of the most famous was to use the knife on the Qian family where his fourth brother Qian Wuyun was located.

The Qian family was the richest family in the Moon Country at that time, and the family assets were eye-popping. After bringing down the Qian family. The treasury, which had been empty, could not even hold the dazzling array of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other goods. For this reason, Tsukiyama also had to expand a new warehouse at that time.

And now Yue Luoning has not done that for the time being.

This is also very normal, she has only been on the throne for more than a year, and she is a queen with an unjustified name. If she does it like Yueshan, I'm afraid that the courtiers will join forces against her.

With this change, Lin Siyi couldn't see anything good or bad for a while, he could only look at Yue Luoning with questions.

"These are some of Du Qi's suggestions, what do you think?" and Yue Luoning only asked him questions.

Lin Si had to smile bitterly again: "Sister, I don't have to learn any government affairs now, why do you bother to test me again? How do I know what is good or bad?

Yes, the scene in front of him reminded him of the time when he followed Yue Luoning in the palace to learn government affairs, and the most common scene in front of him was at that time.

Yue Luoning will cite the decrees and measures of various dynasties and ask his opinions.

And the pictures after that are almost the same, Lin Si's answer is destined to be full of mistakes and omissions in front of her, and it is destined to be a merciless refutation and rebuke.

Few people like to be pointed at their noses and reprimanded every day, and Lin Si is no exception, even if that person is his own sister.

For that kind of thing, he has always avoided it, but he doesn't want to go through it again.

His resistance and resistance, Yue Luoning saw it in his eyes.

She sighed secretly and said lightly: "This matter has something to do with you, you'd better be serious." ”

"What does it have to do with me?"

"What is most needed to fight a war?"

Lin Si pondered for a moment and then replied, "Money." ”

"That's it, that's how to raise money. ”

"How?"

"It's not that the country of the moon is without money, but after so many wars, the treasury is ...... It's almost impossible to hold on, because the money is not in our hands, but in the hands of the nobles and rich people. ”

"So what, we're going to rob the rich people?" Lin Si was stunned.

Yue Luoning glanced at him angrily: "Where do you want to go, do you want to follow the example of my father?" We can't go around raiding ministers and rich merchants like him and increase the amount of taxes levied on merchants." After all, now we are encouraging the Chamber of Commerce of the Moon Country to communicate with neighboring countries. And to be honest, the kind of behavior of my father at the beginning also caused the commerce of the Moon Kingdom to be hit, and many merchants would rather go abroad than stay in the Moon Kingdom. ”

"What then?"

"It's simple, take what you should have collected. ”

"Is it according to what this dossier says?

"Yes, whether it is Yueguo Qingchuan or Qianlan, most of the land is in the hands of the nobles, and the land of the common people is very small. In the past, in addition to the land tax, taxes had to be levied according to the number of people, and many people with little land were miserable. And the nobles, who owned a lot of land, got better and better. In addition to this, the nobles concealed the amount of fields and evaded a lot of land endowments. ”

Lin Si suddenly realized, he clapped his hands excitedly: "So according to this dossier, only according to the amount of land owned, not according to the number of people, the people with less land will pay very little taxes, and they can live better." The nobles who have a lot of land have to pay a lot of taxes, and the income of the treasury is greatly increased."

Yue Luoning smiled slightly: "That's right." ”

"Since it's so good, let's hurry up and implement it, what are you waiting for? Why do you want to discuss it with me, I will definitely support it!"

As soon as his words fell, Yue Luoning and Ying Fei glanced at each other without a trace, and there was a look of helplessness in each other's eyes.

"It can't be implemented. ”

"Why can't such a good thing be carried out? Who is against it?"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all opposed, except for Du Qi, who made this suggestion. Yue Luoning sighed.

Lin Si exclaimed, his face in disbelief: "What? Why?"

"Are you really stupid or fake? Qingzhang Field, many nobles who used to hide the amount of land in order to escape the field endowment have nothing to hide. As for all the taxes being collected together, and collecting them only according to the number of fields, the people were better, but the nobles with more fields paid much more than before. Do you think they will agree? Which of the Manchu civil and military dynasties is not a nobleman, do you think they will be willing to cut their own flesh?"

"This ...... But this is clearly good for the Moon Kingdom and the people, isn't it?"

"But it's not good for themselves, so they won't promise. Not everything that is good for most people can be supported, you should know that!"

"So what do you want me to do? help you convince them?"

"I don't need you to persuade them one by one, I just need you to take the initiative to play this piece to me tomorrow morning. For the time being, the courtiers did not know about this movement. ”

"But this is the credit of Lord Du Qidu, once it is implemented, he will probably go down in history in the future, am I not robbing him of his credit and reputation? How can I do this kind of thing......

Lin Si couldn't accept it, this kind of thing was naturally a guilty conscience for him.

Yue Luoning shook his head: "I know, but this is something that cannot be done, not to mention that this is also suggested by him himself." ”

"Why?"

"If Du Qi plays, he will soon be isolated and excluded by the courtiers, and even if I try my best to support him in the future, there will be a large number of courtiers who will find ways to attack him. And this piece of music will definitely not be supported. ”

"Then I can?"

"You are a top master, you still have the help of Shifang Lou, you are a single sword to forcibly take the position of Liangyue. Therefore they are afraid of you, and they dare not disobey you. Your strength is too strong, and you don't need to rely on anyone at all. You can force them to accept it, and if they don't, they will withdraw. This was something that even his father couldn't do back then, after all, he still needed the support of the nobles and ministers to maintain his rule......"

"Uh, really? Nothing can go wrong with that, right?"

"No, this country was almost single-handedly fought by you, not to mention that now Qingchuan Qianlan has just been incorporated into the Moon Kingdom, it is a good time to use the power to bring forth the new. At this time, the opposition will not be too strong. If they really wait for their roots to regain in the court, it will be even more difficult. ”

"This ...... All right. Lin Si thought for a moment, and finally nodded in response.

It's not a good job, and it's almost certain to offend people.

But Yue Luoning didn't say a wrong thing, he Lin Si was the one who was the least afraid of offending people in this Yue Country. His prestige in the military and among the people is too high, and most of the reason why he can get to where he is today is his own strength.

Strength is the most reliable thing!

In the past, he was negligent in government affairs, resisted such things, and allowed his subordinates to do their own thing. But he really wanted to do something, and no one in the Moon Country could stop it.

What's more, this is a matter that is beneficial to the Moon Kingdom and the people.

He has no reason to refuse this kind of thing at all.

"What if there are still many ministers who oppose it, we can't remove them all!" he asked, still a little uneasy.

After studying with Yue Luoning, he also knew that the king could not do without the support and support of the ministers, to put it bluntly, he needed the support of the aristocratic class, because the king was actually the biggest nobleman.

If you remove all the aristocracy, won't you have no one to support you?

Yue Luoning sneered: "Heh, if they ask for their resignation, I will agree." ”

"Huh?"

"There is no shortage of capable people in the Moon Country, nor is there a shortage of nobles, after subduing the Qianlan Qingchuan, what is lacking is the position in the court. Yue Luoning's eyes were cold, and her voice became extremely ridiculous: "There are many people now, just waiting for the opportunity to take the position." Don't worry, as long as you take the lead, someone will respond immediately. ”
