When the seven people were completely sent away, on this day, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zixing finally couldn't help it.

In the palace of the football city, looking at the distant back, he asked Li Chongdao: "Your Highness, what does this mean?" Why did you call them twice and say nothing? ”

Li Chong: "......"

I saw that Li Chong was silent for a while.

Only then did he continue: "One is hesitation, and the other is that you also know that there is no business or treachery, if I am too polite to them, they may still think that His Highness is very good at talking." ”

"When the time comes...... If there is something to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and hide it and not report it, it will not be good. ”

Li Zixing also asked: "What kind of deception?" ”

Li Chong: "I intend to make them my team after I ascend the throne in the future." ”

"Of course! It doesn't have to be all of them. ”

"What do you say?"

I saw Li Chong patting Li Zixing's shoulder and said, "You know, what is the most important thing in governing the country?" ”

Li Zixing shook his head and said he didn't know.

Li Chong said: "The most important thing in governing the country is to ensure that a country's taxes are normal. ”

"Only if a country can stay in a stable tax environment for a long time, ......"

"There won't be any big problems in this country."

"It's like saying that your Li family, if this money can't make ends meet, then can your Li family still exist?"

"In ancient times, a country, or a dynasty, often came to the point of destruction."

"There will be a situation, that is, the emperor and the nobles are extravagant."

"So where does all their extravagant money come from?"

Li Zhong asked.

Li Zixing: "......"

Li Chong: "How stupid! Naturally, it was scavenged, exploited, and cleverly set up from the common people. ”

"Is it possible to fall from the sky?"

Li Zixing asked again: "Then what does this have to do with those people?" ”

Li Chong: "In the past, a country or a dynasty could only obtain tax revenue by relying on the people to farm the land. ”

"Then, because the people often farm the land, they can't get rich and rich, and even when it comes to disaster years, the ability to resist disasters is extremely weak."

And so...... How is it? ”

"The more frequent natural disasters are, the more people starve to death and sell themselves."

"Take the early years of the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan as an example, there are still people in Chang'an City who starved to death and sold themselves into slavery."

"But what if you look at the current Datang now?"

Li Zixing thought for a while and said, "Isn't that still a slave sold into slavery." ”

Li Chong: "In the past, I was forced to sell myself as a slave, but now I am selling myself as a slave, I want to find a good owner, so can it be the same!" ”

"And...... Whether it is in terms of quantity or the price of slaves and maids, they have risen with the tide. ”

"In the past, slaves and maids were bought and sold, and all they had to do was to give them food."

"Nowadays...... You don't give money, who sells to you. ”

"And, now it's sold, it's because there are too many children in the family and I can't afford to raise it."

"But at the beginning, the whole family was almost starving to death."

Li Zixing didn't know much about the events of that year.

So......

To him, this may not feel very emotional.

I saw Li Chong continue: "In short...... In the past, the only way to collect taxes in the imperial court was the rent obtained from the fields, and this rent, the later it was, the more difficult it was to collect. ”

"If you want to change the current time to the Han Dynasty, then do you know what kind of picture the current Tang Dynasty will be?"

Li Zixing: "What kind of picture? ”

Li Chong: "At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, it was almost the Eastern Han Dynasty. Other words...... It's almost time to die. ”

Li Zixing: "......"

Li Chong: "Originally...... That's how it should be. ”

"It's just...... A hundred years ago, your ancestors changed that. ”

"Not only did he invent all sorts of things, he created an academy of sciences, but he also proposed a commercial tax."

"This completely reversed the situation that in the later period of the imperial dynasty, the land tax could not be raised, or it was difficult to collect it."

"When the imperial court can still absorb a lot of wealth through commercial taxes, then ......"

"Even if the upper-class nobles of the Tang Dynasty are corrupt now, they can still continue to insist on it."

"The taxes that come up through land are often fixed."

"Because the number of acres in the world is often so much, it will not be more out of thin air."

"But what about the business tax!"

"The commercial tax can almost be considered uncapped."

"Of course!"

"In fact, if it is an upper-class nobleman and an emperor, who is not poor and luxurious, and does not pursue enjoyment, then even the tax on land is enough."

"The question is...... These people never think about it. ”

"They only know that if the money is not enough, then they will ask the people for it."

"You! As the prime minister, I don't care what method you use, you have to get me money! ”

"Today's money is for the construction of the palace, tomorrow the Huns invade, there is no money."

"There's no money, you can't say let the officials collect donations, right?"

"Can the officials spit out the money they ate?"

"In the end, it's not about the people."

"So...... Once something unexpected happens, such as a war, such as a natural disaster. ”

"This tax will be levied to death!"

"But the question is...... There is only so much grain in this field, and in a year, there are only one or two hundred catties per acre. ”

"It's not going to suddenly change into thousands of pounds."

"Some people saw that the court did not give them a way to live, so they simply went up the mountain to rebel."

"The court won't let us live, we won't rebel, as soon as the people rebel, the emperor sitting in the palace will still be kept in the dark, and even ......"

"They don't care if the people live or die."

And so...... In the end, when the upper nobles begin to compete for imperial power and start to fight against different parties because of power, the group of people who 'care about the people' will be loved by the people. ”

Thus ...... Gradually, gaining the heart of the world, this is not the case at the end of the Sui Dynasty. ”

"So the Sui Dynasty is dead, Li Mi is out, Dou Jiande is out, Liu Heimin is out, and Wang Shichong is out, but it's just ...... None of them beat Li Shimin in the end. ”

Li Zixing does not have such a rich experience as Li Chong.

So I can only say that I listen to one sentence and understand half a sentence.

Li Zixing also said: "Then what does this have to do with what Your Highness said about making them into your team after you ascend the throne in the future?" ”

Li Chong patted Li Zixing on the shoulder and said, "Then I don't have to squander it in the future, then I also want money, someone has to make money for His Royal Highness, right?" ”

"Your Highness, I must find someone who can be trusted to collect money for me."

Li Zixing: "......"

Li Chong: "But...... I'm not like the previous emperors, who only earned the hard-earned money of the people. ”
