Prime Minister......

Princess Yufeng's heart beat slightly......

Today, my brother met with him in the West Building, and the political situation changed greatly during the chat, and now it has finally reached the core figure, how to place Prime Minister Lu Tiancong.

"Say it!" Ji Guang faced this problem and kicked the ball to Lin Su's feet again.

Lin Su didn't shirk either: "Lu Tian is from his own person, I have already said that he is not worthy of the phase, and the plan in front of him should not be beaten to death with a stick, so let him abdicate and make way for Xian, and let Chen Geng give him a green light and allow him to enter the White Deer Academy!" ”

White Deer Academy!

Ji Guang pondered this name in his heart, somewhat thoughtfully, the Zhizhi Hall of the White Deer Academy was once the lair of the hidden dragon, and the elder-level figures in it were eight out of ten, and the remaining dozen or so people did not stand in line in the battle of the royal family and survived, but it was still an unstable factor, these elders shrank in the Zhizhi Hall, and when they were at a loss, you suddenly beat Lu Tiancong into this group, what kind of heart do you have?

Looking for a chance to kill them?

These thoughts slipped through his heart, and Ji Guang said: "So, who is the new prime minister?" ”

"Doesn't Your Majesty already have a suitable candidate?" Lin Su asked with a smile.

Ji Guang's eyes were a little different: "My most suitable person has always been you!" You're coming......"

"Come less!" Lin Su said: "You once said when you were most depressed that there is one person in the court who can be trusted, what? Now, you don't dare to believe him? ”

"How so? Zhou Zhang has always been one of the people I trust the most, I don't dare to believe him, it's just that the position of prime minister is related to the economy and people's livelihood of the country, and I think he has no ability. ”

Understand that it is not a matter of ability, not of attitude......

Lin Su said with a smile: "Regarding governing the country, I can give you a few suggestions, as long as it is implemented according to this, it is not so difficult to govern Dacang!" ”

Ji Guang's eyes lit up: "My emperor is finally willing to make a suggestion?" That's great, Lin Saburo said it, I listened to the good way to govern the world! ”

Lin Su said: "Don't have too high expectations, at present, I am not a god, it is impossible to make your kingdom perfect, but we must thank Ji Shang, he made Dacang so smoky, as long as a normal person sits on the throne, he can make Dacang a new look, this is the benefit of a poor foundation, no matter how you get it, it won't be worse than him anyway......"

Ji Guang didn't know how to answer for a while.

Dacang was stirred up, but he thanked Ji Shang instead, he really didn't know if Ji Shang would be angry to death if he heard this......

Forget it, listen to the good idea!

"To govern a country, the twelve-character key, no agriculture is unstable, no business is not rich, no soldiers are not guaranteed, so there are only three suggestions for me!"

"No agriculture, no stability, no business, no wealth, no soldiers, no security! Wonderful! Ji Guang praised the case: "Please tell my brother in detail!" ”

Lin Su stretched out his first finger: "The first point, with the power of a country, the construction of farmland and water conservancy, the artifact of cement, will be promoted to the whole country, and all new agricultural tools in Haining Jiangtan will also be implemented throughout the country." ”

Ji Guang smiled: "Actually, I have thought about this, people in the world are not convinced by cement, because of Ji Shang's careful thinking, but also because of the malicious stigmatization of court officials, I live in Meiling, how can I not know how convenient this artifact is used for farmland water conservancy and city construction?" I have sent 18 teams to investigate the whole country, and the current feedback shows that the materials needed for cement production have been found in dozens of hills, and only the master in the brother cement factory needs to give guidance in the past, and it can be fully rolled out. When the people of the whole world are truly freed from the annual floods, when there is water to be poured on the farmland all over the world, when cement benefits the whole people, and look at the people who hold the 'demon law theory' on that day, what else can we say? ”

Lin Su made cement that day, and the "demon law theory" he suffered from is still used by people to talk about things.

Ji Guang empathizes, he wants to use the supreme power of the court to crush this rumor, and now he also has this power.

The promotion of cement is of great benefit to the country, great benefit to the people, and it is also the source of the original to him, so he has done it very actively.

Lin Su said: "Farmland water conservancy benefits the whole country and must be welcomed by the whole country." However, my second suggestion will touch the interests of those in power. ”

Ji Guang's heart jumped: "Brother, come!" ”

Lin Sudao: "The second suggestion, tax reform!" The current tax system is the root cause of the people's misery, and it is the key to the emptiness of your treasury, which must be changed! And thoroughly! ”

The tax system is a bit ...... Wonderful!

The operation mode of the household department of the Dacang Dynasty is a bit "Buddhist", a bit of "rough lines", and the tax payment instructions for the year are issued to the states every year, as long as you pay the real money, your state will also pass the customs, as for where your tax comes from, it is your various state officials and eight immortals across the sea, each showing their magical powers!

What are the consequences of such a tax system?

The states go up and down to colonel.

The state issues targets to the government.

The government issues targets to the county.

The county has no place to set targets, so they set tax items randomly, digging three feet into the ground under the banner of the imperial grain and national tax, and listing a variety of tax items, what should the people do? Two words: hard brace! Four words: the people are bored!

If the large system of tax policy is coarse, there is also a place where it is fine.

That is, the tax cuts are very detailed.

In order to reflect the respect of literature and Taoism, Xiucai himself is not taxed, the three generations of the direct family are not taxed, and the Confucian family is not taxed......

In order to reflect the laws of the dynasty, the royal family did not levy taxes......

In order to reflect the emperor's immenseness, the royal family can give people direct tax exemption......

In order to reflect the importance attached to other Taoism, Buddhist temples and Taoist properties are not taxed......

In order to demonstrate local governance, the magistrate can occasionally open an opening, and a certain squire has blessed his homeland for many years and exempted him from taxes for one year and two years......

This exemption and that exemption, each exemption is supported by the wise sayings of the Holy Dao, and it is still high-sounding when it is said, but what about the country? A large group of officials need to eat, drink, and serve, and the army needs to spend money to defend the border, where does the money come from?

Only those at the lowest level, who have no literary name, no ancestral seal, can't get close to the royal family, and can't get amnesty from officials.

The most ironic thing is that these people are precisely those who are not able to pay taxes.

In this situation, Ji Guang has been in Meiling for eight years, how can he not know?

The displaced people from all over the country under Meiling, who are not forced to go to a different place like this?

Eight years of walking in Meiling, in exchange for his empathy for the people, but he also knows that this kind of tax system involves too many things, each of which cannot be moved lightly, Lin Su pointed the finger at the tax system that represents the superior position of the ruling class, and the impact will be subversive.

"Brother, tax reform, in fact, my father also wanted to move, but ...... Some people even said that the real reason why his father was poisoned by Ji Shang in the past was that he touched this line, and Ji Shang easily gained the support of a large number of court officials, and even the support of Wen Dao, so that he could succeed so easily......"

It's a secret.

It was Zhou Zhang who told Ji Guang recently.

On that day, the father saw that the treasury was empty, and he wanted to move the tax system, and he mentioned it at a small court meeting at that time, but there was no follow-up, even if it was such a small mention, it was still seized by Ji Shang with ulterior motives, and he made a ditch connection with all the dignitaries, and the four pillars representing the capital Wendao.

Tell them that His Majesty intends to abolish your tax exemption today.

Whether it is a court official or a scholar, they are all privileged classes!

They themselves are all vested interests in the tax-free policy, so they will naturally oppose it, and there are many people who oppose it, Ji Shang won the support of the high-level, and the emperor lost the support of the high-level......

Revolution, it is easy to tighten the revolution on the heads of others.

When it comes to one's own head, anyone will have gains and losses.

Through the ages!

Lin Su slowly held up the teacup: "Your Majesty, look at this west building, the building is 100 feet high, and you can pick up the stars with your hands, however, if the foundation is not stable, no matter how exquisite the upper floor of the high-rise building is, how can it stand?" ”

Ji Guang nodded: "The people are the base, I understand, but brother, this matter is so difficult, you also need to have a prediction." ”

Lin Su said: "Is it difficult? Compared to His Majesty's Meiling Incident, he went straight to the palace, but what about it? What about the three thousand miles north than the Takeoff Dragon Army? Compared with the former founding monarch who entered the sword gate with his own strength, what about the hard work of laying a clear and clear sky? ”

Ji Guang's heart was boiling: "Brother, I understand!" When I, Ji Guang, was in Meiling, I didn't want to do something great for the people all the time, no matter how difficult this matter was, I did it! Tell me how! ”

Lin Su said: "To do, in fact, it is also simple, tentatively two major taxes, local tax and commercial tax, local tax is levied according to the land, commercial tax is levied according to the transaction amount, the implementation of two lines of revenue and expenditure management, the tax collected, every penny into the treasury!" The salaries of the government at all levels shall be allocated by the household department according to the standard. All kinds of privileges are canceled! The state capitals at all levels have abolished all kinds of tax items! The tax system is clean and transparent, the king can know, the ministers must know, the people can know, and no changes are allowed in the middle. ”

Ji Guang's heart was pounding: "All kinds of privileges? Cancel it all? ”

"Yes! Start with me! Lin Su said: "I am not only a word side by side king, but also a Confucian of Wendao, my goods, tax according to the rate, anyone else wants to take Wendao to say things, want to take the official seal to say things, welcome to Lin Su with me!" ”

"Good! Another great cause of the millennium has begun! Ji Guang said: "Brother should have a national policy, come together!" ”

Lin Su said: "The third one is a soldier!" There are ninety-seven armies in Dacang, and each state also has a state soldier, and the total number of soldiers adds up to more than 20 million. ”

Ji Guangdao: "The four border armies have really played a role in protecting the territory and the people, especially the Flying Dragon Legion of the Roaring Sky, which has expanded its territory and made great achievements. ”

"However, the Flying Dragon Legion of the Mighty Roaring Sky only has 100,000 people!"

"What do you mean......"

"There are not many soldiers, but in the fine! 100,000 elite soldiers, can break the enemy's million heroes, the army of the cang, more than 20 million, the number is terrifying, but how many really useful troops are there? How many can be sent to the battlefield at critical moments? Therefore, my third national policy is to streamline the administration ......"

Streamlining the administration of the army......

The country retains six major military regions, the Northern Flying Dragon Legion, and Li Xiaotian is the commander.

The southern Cangshan legion, the king of the south is the commander.

The Southeast Blood Rain Legion does not avoid suspicion, and Lin Zheng is the commander.

The fog army in the west, Du Cangqiong is the commander.

Central Plains Army, He Jin is the commander.

The Imperial Forest Army in the capital, Zhou Yuyu is the commander.

The six major army corps adopted the law of survival of the fittest, selected the best seeds from the rest of the armies, and formed professional soldiers in the true sense of the word, and the total number was controlled at around 3 million.

The remaining ninety percent of the soldiers will be given sufficient resettlement funds, transferred to other jobs, and returned home to enrich the local ......

Three national policies, all of which are frightening.

Ji Guang is a rare enlightened monarch throughout the ages, and he is a king who has stayed in Meiling for eight years and stepped on the black soil with both feet, but he was still shocked by Lin Su's three strategies and was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head: "The first policy is to determine the people's livelihood, the second is to determine the tax regulation, the third policy is to streamline the government, the words of the countrymen are also pointing to the root of the disease, if this policy is really implemented, the face of the sky will be completely renewed, brother, from tomorrow, you and I will work hand in hand to create this big era!" But there is wind and rain, there is no advance or retreat! ”

"But there is wind and rain, there is no advance or retreat!" Lin Su held his hands together, and the teacup in his hand touched Ji Guang lightly, replacing wine with tea, and conspiring in this situation.

Ge Xin looked at her husband, and there was a glint in his eyes.

Her life's mission is to help King Chen, and now that King Chen has ascended the throne, her mission seems to have been overfulfilled, but now she knows that there is an even more difficult battle waiting for her.

It's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to rule the world!

Now it's time to rule the world!

Princess Yufeng looked at Lin Su, there was a little excitement and a little obsession in her eyes.

If she didn't understand the three strategies he had just now, she wouldn't have understood them in the past, but now she understands them, because she has become a businessman, and she will also be able to settle accounts......

She knew that Dacang's current land tax was only 30% at most, and the vast majority of the rest were reasonably and legally exempted from taxes under the cover of various privileges.

Even if the privilege is abolished, even if the land tax is reduced to one-third of the original amount, the total amount collected will still be higher than the original amount.

Commercial tax, originally had this name, and in the process of implementation in various places, there was no highest, only higher, every time a merchant went to a city, he had to increase the tax, and the increase or less depends on the mood of the local officials, in that case, it seems that a large amount of taxes were collected from the merchants, but this tax did not enter the treasury, and was divided up by bureaucrats at all levels.

Lin Su came to set a commercial tax, cancel the road block tolls, hitchhiking fees, commercial tax will be transparent, businessmen will spend less, the treasury tax can be increased several times, more importantly, in this way, the vitality of business will be stimulated, business people have confidence in their hearts, can clearly determine income and expenditure, business into normalization.

These two taxes are increased by revenue.

There is also one item that is to save expenditure, that is, how much military expenditure can be saved by streamlining the army and streamlining the administration and reducing the number of soldiers by ninety percent at once?

Moreover, ninety percent of these servicemen also have to live when they return to the localities, and the local labor force has increased by a large margin, adding fresh blood to the next national water conservancy projects......

She understands all of this!

However, she also understands that to play such a big game of chess, whether it is the imperial brother or him, she needs to bear huge pressure.

Royal pressure.

Pressure from the Chancellor.

The pressure of a family with various privileges.

There is even pressure from above Wendao.

She could almost foresee that in the near future, on the Dacang Wendao, countless scholars would stand up and accuse the imperial brother and Lin Su of disrespecting the Wendao and canceling the privileges of the literati......

The sin of disrespecting the Tao can be severe, the light can damage the reputation, and the serious can alarm the temple!

The storm has risen, and the storm is coming!

Xishan Courtyard was once a pure land in his capital, and in the future, too!

I'm in this pure land, guarding a back garden for you!

Ji Guang got up: "Today, I have a big heart, tomorrow the overall situation and tomorrow will be discussed again, today, there is something for you!" ”

"What?"

"Your palace has been prepared, the houses and pavilions, the servants and servants are all available, and the situation of Lin Sanlang having no houses in the capital has become history." Ji Guang smiled: "Let the Grand Commander take you over!" ”

This gift, Lin Su did not hesitate.

Because this is the royal charter, but the king, will give the house, he has been the king side by side for more than two months, the fief or something, he refused, but the palace, there is no need to refuse, although Ji Guang's treasury is empty, but there is a lot of royal property, especially after the children of Ji Shang were demoted to concubines, their palaces and industries were all included in the royal family, and Ji Guang's resources on hand were quite sufficient.

These resources are a drop in the bucket for the people's livelihood in the world, but it is more than enough to reward a few meritorious people.

He could think of Ji Guang's atmosphere, but his Wenwang Mansion was still beyond his prediction.

The size of this palace is incomparable, and it is located on the bank of the Liuxiang River, covering an area of dozens of acres.

On the huge plaque, two different handwritings, three big characters of Wenwangfu, the light of Wendao covers half of the city, one word and one heavy sky, it is Zhang Juzheng's handwriting.

The lower part is stamped with the imperial seal, and the light of the imperial seal also permeates several streets.

This is the special feature of him, the king of Wen, the peak of Wendao and the pinnacle of official Dao.

Lin Su came with the commander of the Forbidden Palace, and the chief of the inner palace, Shanjun, greeted him at the gate of the palace, which was almost no different from the emperor himself.

As soon as Lin Su arrived, the chief manager of Shanjun gave a big gift and led Lin Su into the palace.

Stepping into the palace, the magnificence is magnificent.

The huge front yard is flat and sturdy, and the porter is fully equipped.

The team kneeling in the front yard to greet him, there were hundreds of people away, led by the palace housekeeper, the housekeeper was called Lin Ruoshui, his name was very elegant, and he was also white and clean, Lin Su asked him casually: "You are also surnamed Lin?" ”

The housekeeper knelt on the ground and replied: "The slave used to be surnamed Wang, and since he was the housekeeper of the palace, he naturally followed the surname of the prince." ”

Look, even the last name has been changed!

In the middle courtyard, the nine-curved corridor, there are dozens of houses, each of which is exquisite.

What surprised Lin Su the most was the backyard.

In the backyard, strange flowers and plants are open, like a sea of flowers, every flower, every stone, every building, all reflect the ultimate beauty, just like painting the peach source of the holy family, but also stronger than the peach source, the beauty of the peach source is a kind of artificial beauty, and this pavilion, the beauty of a hundred flowers is the beauty of nature.

Lin Su stroked a peony flower: "The flowers in this garden are mostly anti-seasonal flowers, who has this wonderful hand to win the change of the four seasons?" ”

There are moon flowers, peonies, spring flowers, and even more than a dozen two-color plum blossoms, which are supposed to bloom at different seasons of the year, but in his garden, they are in full bloom at the same time.

The housekeeper smiled: "There are two theories, one is that the prince returned to the house today, and a hundred flowers bloomed to respect the master, and the second theory is that there is a wonderful person who has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, please see the prince, that is, this girl!" ”

Lin Su raised his eyes and stared at the depths of the garden, a beautiful woman under the plum tree, that beauty also happened to raise her head at this time, a pair of wonderful eyes touched Lin Su, this woman was full of gifts, like the side of the plum tree, and another flower bloomed, this flower, if the narcissus is tender, but it is more charming than the narcissus; If the peach blossom is gorgeous, it is more subtle than the peach blossom.

Lin Su's heart swelled like a spring breeze passing over the long lake, and he casually asked: "This woman, she shouldn't be an ordinary person, where does she come from?" ”

The housekeeper said with a smile: "The prince is wise, this woman's name is Qi Yanran, she is the head brand of the Beijing Huayuxuan, born in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, the layout of the garden wonderland, the name of the Beijing master, and other idlers can't invite her at all, can the prince know why this woman is willing to become a gardener and live in the palace?" ”

Lin Su touched his chin and smiled lightly: "Don't tell this king, it's because this king is very handsome." ”

The housekeeper smiled: "It's because of her family!" She is the daughter of the Qi family in Lizhou. ”

Lin Su was slightly stunned: "Leaving the state Qi family? Is there a fish that slipped through the net under the knife of the puppet emperor in the past? ”

In the old Jiangdong case, on the second level of the mourning hall, seven people were together, because the inner servants talked about the death of the emperor, violating the taboo of Ji Shang, five families suffered the disaster of annihilation, and only two families were saved.

One of them is Qu Wendong's composer.

The second is the Qi family who left the state.

Qu Wendong's way to save his life is to pretend to be confused, and if he can't pretend to be able to do so, he will resign.

And the Qi family was even more thorough, resigned from all official positions as soon as possible, and retreated far away to the side of the West Sea in Lizhou, not only did not set foot in the officialdom, but even Wufeng City.

In this way, these two families were saved.

However, the butcher's knife of the puppet emperor Ji Shang just did not fall, and it was not collected here, whether it was the Qu family or the Qi family, they could feel the murderous aura of the butcher's knife.

And now, Lin Su made a blow, Ji Shang rolled down directly from the Ninety-Five Throne, and the truth of the old case in Jiangdong was revealed to the world, and it was no longer a taboo.

The heads of the Qu family and the Qi family finally revealed the blue sky that they had not seen for a long time.

So, Qi Yanran, the daughter of the Qi family, came out of Huayuxuan and volunteered to become the gardener of Lin Su's mansion, using her skills to repay Lin Su's kindness.

This is all the inside story that the butler told him.

Lin Su nodded lightly: "Okay, since there is this relationship, it is naturally reliable, where is this royal residence?" Take this king over and see it. ”

His bedroom, naturally in the backyard of the main house, the front corridor, the small lake, and the back of a river of spring water: the Liuxiang River.

Elegance is peerless.

He sat down on the platform outside the bedroom, and two beautiful maids came in, Yingying brought fragrant tea, this maid's appearance was also strange in the world, and they were obviously all courtly etiquette, in fact, they were the best palace maids, Ge Xin personally selected for him.

When the two top palace maids brought refreshments, their hearts were quite agitated.

They finally saw the legendary prince with their own eyes.

It's even more handsome than they expected.

As soon as they approached him, their hearts jumped......

Because they thought of the blessings of their sisters when they left the palace......

The sisters said that this legendary prince is different from anyone, he likes women, he doesn't care about the original identity of women, even if it is a lost country, even if it is a stateless homeless person, as long as he sees it, he will ascend to the sky in one step.

Serving him is more important than serving His Majesty......

His Majesty talks about the law, and generally doesn't attack the palace maids, but he doesn't talk about this, and he will do it if he likes it......

So today they wore low-cut clothes, wore perfume, and faced him with their best side......

However, Lin Su's performance was a little unexpected for them, and he took a sip of tea, but waved his hand lightly: "Let's all go out!" ”

Everyone withdraws.

The room was quiet!

Lin Su slowly showed a smile on his face: "Come and see, this king's bedroom is still elegant?" ”

A voice rang out in the room: "Quote your own words to answer...... The bedroom is used for sleeping! It's not for you to look at, your focus has never been on whether the style is elegant or not, anyway, the you do has nothing to do with elegance......"
