Pei Xingjian looked at King Jin, this young man seemed to have an extremely firm belief, firmly believing in the leadership and correctness of Lishan.

He frowned and said, "As disciples, we should be proud. ”

Li Zhi shook his head instead, "Don't say you are proud, Lishan's words are not necessarily right, several of our disciples still don't understand, my brother-in-law is still groping, and my brother-in-law often says that he is the only one who is really worried about the society." ”

Pei Xingjian said in a low voice: "The county marquis is a person who likes to laugh. ”

"It is precisely because the truth becomes clearer and clearer that my brother-in-law will never be pretentious, and the imperial sister and he often discuss the sage classics, but ......" Li Zhi suddenly smiled, "It's just that my brother-in-law can't become a saint, and he is focused on production and construction, and he feels that Guanzhong is barren, and sometimes worries about people's dinner tables." ”

Pei Xingjian saluted and said: "Although I am a disciple of Lishan, I don't know much about Lishan, and I hope that His Royal Highness the King of Jin will give me more guidance in the future." ”

"No, I don't."

"Huh?"

"I don't need to point you out, my brother-in-law said that you are a capable person, and Lishan accepted you as a disciple, not that I hope you will follow Lishan's ideas, you can do things in your way, this is the original intention of my brother-in-law."

Li Zhi paced back and forth: "Just like Shangguan Yi, you are already the Chang'an Order, so you should let go of your hands and feet to do things, instead of accommodating Lishan and accommodating the court." ”

Hearing this, Pei Xingjian let out a long breath and turned into a cloud of fog in the cold air, "Now the DPRK and China are discussing the matter of commercial taxation, and the lower official is Chang'an Order was originally to report the current situation of the counties at this time, but ......"

"But you can't say a word."

Since the words were spoken, Lishan would not interfere too much in his own affairs, so Pei Xingjian said bluntly: "There is also a gap between the rich and the poor in each county, and it is good that the DPRK and China have always pursued a light tax, but if the commercial tax is increased, it will not be a burden." ”

Li Zhi took out a book and handed it to him, "This is sent by Lishan." ”

Pei Xingjian took the scroll, looked at the contents on it and hurriedly put it away, "This is ......"

Li Zhi whispered: "This is written by Lishan, only this king has read it, and you have prepared a charter and submitted it to Zhongshu Province." ”

"Xiaguan understands, and owes Lishan a favor."

"Don't care, you are a disciple of Lishan, don't mind too much in the future, let go and do it, this is good for Lishan and for you."

"Whoa."

Pei Xingjian left in a hurry.

Zhang Cambodia was blown by the cold wind and shrunk his neck, and asked: "This Pei Mansion Yin Baiwen is not as good as seeing it, and I thought he was a cool official, but I didn't expect him to be so approachable." ”

Di Renjie said: "Cambodia's words are wrong, he is just approachable to King Jin. ”

That night, the lights of Jingzhao Mansion were still on, and Pei Xingjian wrote the charter, and the production was gradual, starting from various raw materials, and collecting taxes as the production steps began.

A garment is taxed step by step from the needlework to the cloth and then the garment, and the tax is exhausted in the process of production.

Ordinary villagers do not have to pay additional taxes.

Pei Xingjian's thoughts suddenly brightened, and he said, "I see, I see." ”

The next day, when the people in Zhongshu Province were still arguing about this, Pei Xingjian was late.

I heard some people talking about how the Chang'an Order came so late, how to manage the twelve counties of Chang'an City in the future...... All kinds of words.

Pei Xingjian glared at them, and these little officials quickly stopped their mouths and lowered their heads to get busy with their own business.

This Chang'an order has restored the evil spirit of the past.

"Fang Xiang, it is the charter written by the lower official last night."

Fang Xuanling also coughed lightly, took the piece and looked at it, looking at him from time to time, "You wrote this?" ”

"Exactly."

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said: "The disciple of Lishan is really worthy of his reputation. ”

Pei Xingjian said: "In the next ugly opinion, let the fang xiang laugh." ”

Fang Xuanling handed the chapter to Zheng Gong on the side.

Wei Zheng looked at his beard and said: "Well, in the process, the business will be taxed, so that it is simple and clear, and it will not cause too much burden to the villagers." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji took the chapter and said with a smile: "Pei Xingjian, you are originally a literati, and you are also a member of the imperial examination, and it really delayed you when you were asked to go to the west of Persia." ”

Pei Xingjian saluted: "The western expedition is the ambition of the lower officials, and the imperial examination is also the ambition of the lower officials. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and coughed lightly a few times, and said loudly: "Okay, you all stand down, the old man, Fang Xiang, and Zheng Gong will go to see Your Majesty together." ”

The crowd dispersed.

These three important figures in the court walked towards the Hall of Manna.

"Xuan Ling, do you really think this is written by Pei Xingjian himself?"

The eldest grandson, Wuji, was skeptical about this matter.

Fang Xuanling walked to the front of the hall and stood still, stroked his beard and said: "Naturally, he wrote it, as for how he wrote it, he must have received the guidance of a master." ”

"Superior? Scold! The eldest grandson Wuji snorted coldly: "How can there be so many masters in this world. ”

Zheng Gongyue nodded and said, "Yes, how many masters can there be?" ”

The three of them understood in their hearts and did not say anything.

After being summoned by His Majesty, he entered the palace.

Li Shimin looked at the content of the recital and asked, "What do you think of Xuan Ling?" ”

Fang Xuanling replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it needs to be refined before it can be implemented. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji took a step forward and said: "Lishan is accepting the county leaders of various counties, and the court and the central government can't delay any longer." ”

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "Alas, this Lishan will only add a burden to the society. ”

It is said that it is a burden, and this burden is a good thing, and the emperor is happy.

If this strategy can be implemented, it will be a lot of revenue for the DPRK and China.

"But no matter how you look at this movement, it looks like Lishan's style, I'm afraid that if Zhang Yang is here, he will say that grasping the source of production is the right way."

Zheng Gong stroked his beard and said: "Yes, it seems to be the style of Lishan." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was still worried, and said in a low voice: "Lishan has more and more influence on the court, and such passivity makes the courtiers exhausted. ”

Fang Xuanling sat aside and took the tea handed by the eunuch with both hands, "This Zhang Yang is like handing over a rope, let Chaozhong grab the rope, and thus catch the production." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Xuan Ling means that Lishan is bound by a cocoon?" ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head, "It's not to be a cocoon, but to borrow wind from the court." ”

Wei Zheng said slowly: "It is precisely like this that Lishan can be far away. ”

Fang Xuanling said with a complicated expression: "Lishan is good at analyzing, and is good at sorting out complex things into clear steps, and the young people in the court should also learn from it." ”

"I still think that he can do many good things for the community, but I don't think about it for himself."

His Majesty almost didn't say it explicitly, absorbing the nutrients of Lishan and using them for the court.

In the Manna Palace, several people looked at each other and smiled.

Three days after the emperor saw this commercial tax charter.

The wind in the cold winter is very cold, especially in the Taiji Hall, which is cold to the bone.

Li Zhi stood in the Taiji Hall and asked a few guards, "Where did my brother-in-law stand before?" ”

The guard replied, "It's among the scholars of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Li Zhi took a step forward, "Is this here?" ”

"Mostly, yes."

With that, Li Zhi stood in this position for a while.

Several guards looked at them strangely, and couldn't help but be curious: "What is His Royal Highness King Jin doing?" ”

Li Zhi stood with his eyes closed and said in a low voice: "Feel, feel the atmosphere of the year." ”

Zhongshu Province has summoned many officials, which is good, not only the officials of Zhongshu Province have to end the retreat in advance, but the six Shangshu, including the waiters, have to end the retreat in advance.

Soon, there was a sound of discussion outside the Taiji Hall, as well as the sound of dense footsteps.

When Li Zhi looked back, he saw many people in official uniforms, and they walked into the Taiji Hall in a dark manner.

Li Chengqian was surprised: "Childish slave, why are you here?" ”

Li Zhihan smiled: "I was greedy for fun, so I wanted to come here to have a look." ”

"Coincidentally, my father convened a group of ministers to discuss today, and you and Gu listened together."

Because it was a temporary court meeting, His Majesty came to the palace in his usual clothes, and began to discuss with the ministries about the tax policy presided over by the Minister of the Chamber.

This matter involved the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households.

Even Zhang Da'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is also listed.

Fang Xuanling not only said about the production inside the customs, but also said that the goods outside the customs should also be subject to commercial tax.

Li Zhi's gaze noticed Xu Jingzong, who was sleepy-eyed and closed.

It seemed that he also felt King Jin's gaze, and when he opened his eyes slightly, his eyes were relatively embarrassed and smiled.

The meeting lasted until noon, when the crowd dispersed.

Li Zhi walked quickly to Xu Jingzong's side and followed his footsteps.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, what does this county marquis mean?"

"I knew you would ask this, in fact, my brother-in-law just hopes that production and construction can be on the right track as soon as possible, and what was prepared last year will be put on the agenda next year."

Xu Jingzong looked at the energetic King of Jin and said sadly: "The old man can't keep up with the footsteps of the county marquis." ”

"Lishan has never abandoned Xu Shilang."

"Yes, yes." Xu Jingzong nodded with a smile on his face.

"It's just that Xu Shilang has done too much for the Ministry of Rites and Sheji, so he has no intention of caring about anything else." Li Zhi said again: "And my brother-in-law has lived in Lishan for many years. ”

"Yes, when the old man was busy, the county marquis has been growing, and now the old man is over forty years old, but the county marquis has been ahead of many people." Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "However, the road in front of the county marquis is getting narrower and narrower, and there are not many people who can walk that road with the county marquis, and finally ......."

Xu Jingzong slowed down his pace and said with a worried expression: "I'm afraid that in the end, the county marquis will be left alone on that road ahead." ”

Xu Shilang is one of the people who has followed his brother-in-law for the longest time, and the other is Brother Wei Wang.

Li Zhi walked towards Chengtianmen, in front of him was Cen Wenwen, Chu Suiliang, and in front of him was Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Wei Zheng.

In a trance, I saw my father and emperor walking in front of everyone, and in the crowd, I saw my brother-in-law in a trance.

His steps were fast and large, and he walked in front of everyone until he shook off the men, leaving only a back.

This back is getting more and more blurry, can't see through, can't see real.

Xu Jingzong's words came from his ears again.

"People will grow old after all, just like the poems of Lishan, there are people who don't care about the old, and who will pity them when they get old."

He said in a low voice: "Now we can help the county marquis and do things for the county marquis, but the ambition of the county marquis is not satisfied, and the ambition of the county marquis is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is impossible for ordinary people to do it." ”

"When I get old, who is left around the county marquis, and who else can help the county marquis?"

In the time that Li Zhi came to Chang'an City, he had heard many people's opinions on his brother-in-law.

For example, Pei Xingjian is in awe and respect for the Hou of Lishan County.

For example, Zhang Cambodia hates and yearns for Lishan.

Different people can hear different words in their mouths, but few people are like Xu Jingzong, who is full of worries about Lishan.

In the last month of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, the heavy snow has not stopped.

The snow fell intermittently until the cold winter wax moon.

That night, the curfew was lifted in Chang'an City, and fireworks once again burst into the night sky.

Many envoys from the Sifang Pavilion worshipped to Chengtianmen, saying their allegiance to the Heavenly Khan and their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.

An Yanyan preached to Songtsen: "More and more people from the Western Regions and the Tubo people are loyal to the Tian Khan, and they even want the Tian Khan to make them Tang people. ”

Songtsen Gampo replied: "The Tubo people are still Tubo, even if they have another Tang identity. ”

"Zampu is a native of Tibet, but you are more like a Tang person now, you have been in Chang'an City for too long."

"I've always been a Tibetan."

It is too difficult to make Songtsen Gampo a Tang person, An Yanyan agrees with his words, as long as Songtsen Gampo does not let go, it will be difficult for Tubo to become a part of the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Lishan is also celebrating, and fireworks are blooming in the night sky of Lishan.

Xiao Qingqing lit the fuse of the bamboo tube, and then quickly ran behind his father, hearing an explosion, and a ball of fire rose into the sky.

Then there was an explosion, and the most brilliant flowers bloomed in the snowflakes in the sky.

This is a huge fireworks made by Lishan.

Xiao Qingqing said with a smile: "The fireworks in Chang'an are definitely not as good as our family." ”

Li Lizhi said: "This is the fireworks with the most materials, and it is naturally the largest and most beautiful." ”

The moment the huge fireworks burst out, they enveloped the entire Lishan Mountain.

Fortunately, it was a snowy day, and Zhang Yang didn't have to worry about the fireworks that would ignite a mountain fire.

Carefully came with a large bamboo tube, "Sister, I found a bigger one!" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yang felt that it was wrong at first glance, this was not fireworks, this was a powder keg, so he asked, "Where did it come from?" ”

"From my sister's yard."

This little girl sold her sister very unconscionably.

Xiao Qingqing was so angry that he jumped to his feet and wanted to run, but his collar was grabbed by his father, and then he was picked up.

"Dad, my daughter knows it's wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"It's wrong that I shouldn't let my brother see it."

"What?"

Xiao Qingqing changed his words and said: "The mistake is that you can't make it privately." ”

Zhang Yang glanced at the room, where his daughter-in-law was coaxing the frightened Xiao Sanqiu, and said, "Before your mother finds out, hurry up and send it to Daddy's laboratory." ”

"Hmm."

She picked up her powder keg aggrievedly.

"Wait." Zhang Yang said with a straight face: "How many more?" ”

"There are more than a dozen......

Zhang Yang held his forehead in pain, it's okay not to ask, but there are so many when he asks, does this girl want to blow up Lishan?

"Lizhi, you go and check it out, but if you have any more, send it to my laboratory."

Li Lizhi kept covering her mouth and chuckled, nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

Zhang Yang went to see it in person and confirmed that her room and courtyard were no longer privately hidden, so he was relieved. (End of chapter)
