Chapter 190: The minister recommends Situ Changsun Wuji
"Father, teacher, then we are leaving."
15th year of Zhenguan, June.
After half a year of preparation, Li Chengqian finally embarked on the road to the East.
Chang'an City, a suburb of the city.
Banner hunting.
Li Er: "Go ahead."
Li Chong: "Be careful on the road, and when you come back, remember to write a reflection of at least 8,000 words."
Li Chengqian: "Uh...... I don't need to use this."
Li Chong said, "If you don't write, how do I know what you learned this trip."
Li Chengqian said that he was right, and then, after a simple salute on the horse, the group set off.
In fact......
This time, the prince went on a crusade to the east, whether it was inside or outside, there were still a lot of opposing voices.
However, no matter how dangerous the trip was, Li Er still suppressed these opposing voices.
There is no other reason.
Because he also wants to see if his crown prince can do his best.
Although the eldest grandson Wuji has recently fallen out of favor with His Majesty.
But......
At this moment, he still had to say, "Wouldn't it be bad for only one Niu Jinda in this team?"
Li Chong said, "That's enough, if Situ doesn't feel at ease, you can call your son too."
The eldest grandson Wuji said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Chong is targeting the minister."
Li replied, "No, the reason why you feel this way is because you don't understand the future national policy that I have set with Your Majesty."
Everyone looked at it.
What national focus?
Li Chong saw that everyone was looking at him, and he also said, "In the future, the national policy of Datang is to go out and occupy a place, a place. You have also seen the previous world map, and in the future, the banner of Datang will be planted all over the world."
Li Erxin said, why don't I know?
But in other words, it seems to be easy to understand - external separation.
I saw Li Chong continue: "Next, Datang should encourage the birth of the population, and then implement the apportionment of the mu. The so-called apportionment into the mu means that the tax will not be collected according to the head of the person in the future, but the tax will be paid as much as you have as much land as you have."
None of the people in this room are ordinary politicians, and of course it only takes a little thought to know what the impact will be.
Li Chong asked, "Do you know, why do you have to spread the land into acres?"
I saw that they all looked at themselves with suspicious eyes.
Li Zhong said, "Because in this world, the land is almost always constant."
"And the land can be bought and sold."
"Over time, the rich will continue to annex the land of the poor."
"In the end, if the poor are landless and cannot live, the country will not be stable."
"The sign of the demise of a nation must be that the rich man is not servant; And the poor have no land, and they will be caught strong."
"The greater the gap between the rich and the poor, the faster the country will die."
"If you can think about it from this perspective, then you can understand why it is necessary to implement the practice of apportionment."
"In fact, the biggest advantage of spreading the land into the mu is that it can allow the population to grow explosively." ….
"And...... It can also make those accounts that were originally hidden have nothing to hide."
……
Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help wiping the sweat on their heads.
That's too vicious, isn't it?
To be honest, this family didn't help hide some accounts.
Li Chong looked at their expressions and became solemn, and it was also the way; "Of course! Now I'm just telling you in advance. As for whether or not to implement it, and when it will be implemented, we have to take our time."
"If you think it's bad to be there, you can also give your opinions."
"After all...... I'm not one of those people who can't talk well."
Everyone looked at Li Chonglai.
Is he easy to talk to?
All I can say is......
People don't think so.
After that, Fang Xuanling asked Li Zhong for more details.
And Li Chong, naturally, knows everything.
Speaking of which......
In fact, it is not a panacea.
And......
There is probably no system in this world that is omnipotent.
However, there are obviously some advantages to the allocation of land to the acre compared to the rent adjustment.
For example, Tang Chu said that a good Ding man could get 100 acres of land, but in the end he only got 30 acres, but the tax had to be collected according to the quota of 100 mu, which was very unreasonable.
However......
What Li Chong values most is not these, the key is the population!
If the population cannot increase rapidly, how can Datang expand externally?
After listening to Li Chong's words, the eldest grandson Wuji felt that Li Chong was simply messing around.
If you really do this according to Li Chong, the government soldiers will be the first to not let Li Chong go.
Because now if you want to say who has the most land, it is probably the family members of these government soldiers.
The point is that the aristocracy or something, they don't pay taxes either.
Then there are those who have a lot of land, and there are some merchants.
Li Chong said, "So I didn't say that it will be implemented now, but sooner or later, it will still be implemented, I guess, probably in another forty years at most." Forty years from now, the government and military system will continue to be destroyed because there is no land to divide. When the time comes, even if you don't want to do it, you have to do it."
"It's not that it's impossible to implement now, it's just ...... It's just a matter of tax rate."
"If the tax rate is good for the people, they will support it."
Although Li Chong has made it very clear and has also said a lot of benefits of spreading the land into the mu, after Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji listened to it, they still felt that the old method was better.
After all......
Who wants to leave their comfort zone.
Fang Xuanling said, "I think it's better to be safe. It's too big to implement."
To adjust the rent to the apportionment of the mu, this is not only a question of how to pay taxes, but also involves the government soldiers.
You must know that the government soldiers are now the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's foreign warfare, and if you say that it will be replaced by recruitment all of a sudden, it will definitely not be appropriate.
Therefore, it should only be best to implement it when there are no more government soldiers in Zhichong Prefecture, and most of the people are unwilling to serve as government soldiers.
Li Chong saw Fang Xuanling's caution, and could only say...... That's right, too!
After all, the current government military system still has the strength to fight, and it is not enough to fight.
But......
Li Chong felt that even so, in some places, he felt that he could still try it.
In particular, in some places where the land evenly distributed by the people of the Tang Dynasty is not very sufficient, it should be apportioned into acres.
Although in this way, it is certain that the household will have less money and food, but now it is less, just so that it can get more in the future.
After some arguments, Li Zhong proposed to Li Er, "Your Majesty! The minister thought that he could take some places as a pilot, and as for this person who went to try, the minister recommended Situ Changsun Wuji."
Eldest Sun Wuji: "......"
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Chong's eyes, and felt that Li Chong was deliberately digging a pit for him to jump.
Li Er thought about it, then he also looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Then let Wuji finish this matter."
