Chapter 378 Reform of the Economic System

Li Chong looked at the answer sheet sent by Li Chengqian, and told the truth, it was very bad for him to influence others to succeed to the throne.

However, this is also a very helpless thing, Li Chong now seems to be able to understand more or less why the more 'wise and martial' the emperor, the more he looks at his crown prince, the more unpleasant he feels.

Li Lizhi asked people to bring ginseng soup, and Li Chong couldn't help but sigh after reading Li Xiang's answer.

"Alas......"

"What sigh? Drink the ginseng soup first. ”

Li Zhong picked up the ginseng soup with one hand and drank it directly in one sip.

"It's still hot."

So......

Li Chong: Isn't this going to burn your tongue next?

I could only put down the ginseng soup, and then looked at the answer sheet with a tangled face.

He exhaled heavily.

To tell the truth, Li Xiang's answer sheet, in Li Chong's place, can only get an evaluation of 'the king of Shoucheng' at most, but let me ask, in the past two thousand years of feudalism, who can surpass this evaluation in his eyes?

No!

Not a single one!

Even Li Er is no exception.

And this 'King of Success', if you put it more bluntly, is the meaning of 'wait for death'.

Li Lizhi looked at him so seriously, and also asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Li Chong said: "The emperor will be assessed before taking office. ”

Li Liqing: "What is the 'pre-appointment assessment of the emperor'?" ”

Li Chong: "See for yourself." ”

Li Lizhen took it and looked at it, but she couldn't understand it.

After all, she is illiterate.

The word she knows, just ......

But I know too well what this is for.

What does it have to do with what he said about the 'assessment before the emperor takes office'.

Li Lizhi asked directly: "What is this?" ”

Li Chong said: "The theory of governing the country written by the prince, but it doesn't seem to be a policy theory, so you can treat it as a policy theory." ”

Li Lizhi said: "Then this is very well written." ”

Li Chong: "Do you understand, you just say that the writing is very good." ”

Li Lizhi also looked at it carefully for a long time before replying: "Isn't this very well written?" ”

Li Chong: "What a fart!" ”

Li Lizhen: "......"

Li Chong: "You didn't notice, what's the problem here?" ”

Li Lizhen suspected that she had seen it wrong.

After doubting himself for three seconds, he said, "I think this is already quite well written." ”

Li Chong was excited, and then said to her: "All the things he wrote here are headache doctors, and there is no forward-looking, or long-term vision at all." ”

Li Lizhen: "Then it is written here, if Datang wants all countries in the world to surrender to Datang, doesn't it have a long-term vision?" ”

Li Chong: "Now Datang can be said to have made almost all countries in the world surrender to Datang." ”

Li Lizhi didn't understand these things, so she simply played tricks, "You better watch it yourself, remember to drink the ginseng soup." ”

After saying that, he left immediately.

Li Chong had no choice but to give up the matter at hand and drink the ginseng soup in front of him first.

Be reasonable!

Except for himself, who can have a vision beyond this era.

If you take your own standards, but ask for those who come after.

Isn't it difficult for a strong man to be himself?

Subsequently......

Li Chong spent another afternoon writing a standard answer.

Of course!

Rather than a standard answer, this is a version of the second answer to these questions.

Li thought about it again and felt that it was right!

If you don't tell people, and you want people to understand, how can they understand?

Isn't that just a woman spoofing and saying you don't understand me at all?

……

If Li Xiang's answer is to focus on the current Datang, what problems there are, and then it is necessary to solve them in a targeted manner.

Then, Li Chong's standard answer is that Datang is very good now, but in the near future, there is still a hidden danger of losing it.

Li Xiang uses the present tense, which feels more practical, but the problem he is trying to solve can only be said to be of great significance.

It can only be regarded as a trivial matter.

And what about Li Chong......

He uses the future tense, and the most obvious and prominent thing is that one is to take precautions, and Li Chong's answer is often with a kind of prediction.

For example, he wrote about the finance of the Tang Dynasty, as we all know, all dynasties have always levied land taxes.

Li Zhong predicted that one day, Datang may be expected to abolish agricultural taxes.

So what are the benefits or disadvantages of abolishing this agricultural tax for Datang?

If it is a disadvantage, of course, it is a poll tax for tens of millions of people, so if you don't pay it, you won't pay it, and Datang Finance can still have money, and there will be ghosts left.

However, the advantage is to liberate the burden on the people, so that the people will not be unable to live and rebel.

Then some people may ask, you have abolished the agricultural tax, so what does the court eat and drink?

Li Chong's answer is that Datang's next step is to implement the collection of commercial taxes.

You see, like the Grand Canal, like the railway, these are all places where you can set up checkpoints, and as long as you have goods that need to be transported, then I will collect your taxes.

Some people may think that this commercial tax is less than a dime of the agricultural tax.

Circumstance......

In the beginning, this must have been the case.

However......

The question is, will you really be able to collect agricultural taxes in the future?

Whether this can be collected or not is a question.

One, land annexation, the land of the nobility cannot be collected, and the land of the nobility on the whole must have increased to the fullest.

Unless you raid his house, there is little chance of losing his family's land.

On the other hand, these people are poor ghosts, they don't have much land, they don't have much oil and water, what are you going to do with them?

Do you have to force them to not survive, and they will rebel?

At the end of writing about this question, Li Zhong couldn't help but write: "In general, the world is changing, and there cannot be a system that can be passed down forever and applied for a hundred or two hundred years. ”

"When it's time to make a change, it's time to make a decisive change!"

"Also, this financial problem, or economic problem, is always the most important thing for a country!"

"Your Majesty, you will forever hold this financial and economic power firmly in your own hands."

"Only in this way will you not be impoverished to death by yourself."

"So at that time, I told Emperor Taizongwen that next, we will be capitalists."

"What is a capitalist?"

"It's by taking possession of the exclusive right to operate the railway, and then taking all the profits into your own pocket, and finally, when you have money, there is a saying that says."

"Ninety percent of the world's problems can be solved with money, and the remaining 10 percent of the problems can be alleviated with money."

"On the issue of finance or economy, we must have a very clear understanding."

"Of course, as for what you said, when will there be no agricultural tax......

"This question, it can only be said that from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, there are only a handful of people who can think of this problem. Guan Zhong is considered half, because Qi Guo was also quite short of money at that time, so Guan Zhong opened a brothel to make money for Qi Guo. ”

"Of course, if you have to talk about commercial taxes, such as salt taxes and iron taxes, to some extent, they can also be regarded as half."

"It's just...... This kind of medicine is often only temporary, and when you are sick, you know to take fierce medicine, but this fierce medicine actually does not cure the disease, for example, it will only cause people to be unable to eat salt and iron from now on. Becoming more and more destitute. ”

"The people are the source of the country."

"If you hurt all the people, it will be a matter of time before the kingdom will cease to exist. In fact, the lessons of Emperor Yang of Sui are worth thinking about repeatedly. ”

"But as long as the people of the Sui Dynasty can have a full bite to eat, they will not follow others to rebel."

"This is the reform of the economic system, and it is also the most ideal direction for Datang to lead in the future."
