Chapter 1221 Thirty Million Taxes

Li Xiang's visit on the second day was naturally the eldest grandson Wuji, where this was basically the same as before, at most, it was a swap between the two families, so everyone was not surprised, and everyone was waiting to see the third day.

Cheng Yanjin's face can still see that he is old, but he can't see it on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji at all, Li Xiang knows that the eldest grandson Wuji is also relatively long-lived, if it weren't for Wu Zetian's pitfall, I'm afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji would be older.

"Your two cousins have been confirmed to be in the army, and I have also seen the candidates you have chosen for the deputy general, since they have been discussed with you, then I won't care about the rest of the things."

The eldest grandson Wuji did not leave Li Xiang to eat here, the two were just drinking tea in the flower hall, and the eldest grandson Wuji had something to do later.

Cheng Yanjin is now idle at home, so he has time to drink with Li Xiang, and even if he holds some positions, most of them are some false names, and there is nothing serious at all.

The eldest grandson Wuji is different here, the eldest grandson Wuji is the first assistant of the imperial court, even if Li Xiang establishes the Tiance General's Mansion, but many things are still solved by the imperial court, not to mention that most of the Tiance General's Mansion is some military matters.

"Uncle has been working hard for state affairs in the past few years, and he should also pay attention to his body, there are more and more things for the country, and my uncle must not be tired of himself, and the two cousins are not by his side......"

When Li Xiang's power was weak, he was very willing to approach Changsun Wuji, but when he was already up, Li Xiang felt that staying by Changsun Wuji's side was like sitting on pins and needles, mainly because Changsun Wuji saw everything very clearly.

"The affairs of the court can not be neglected at all, you have only been responsible for fighting the war over the years, but you have rarely taken care of things other than the war, the court must give you all the backup, and the implementation of various policies, the court must have someone to supervise, just to select these people, I will be very sad."

What the eldest grandson Wuji said is also the truth, most of the things he usually deals with are related to Li Xiang, this guy has all kinds of whimsical ideas, he only needs to write a letter back to the court, and these people will break their legs.

Take the free school that Li Xiang said before, it has now spread across the country, especially in the inherent territory of the Tang Dynasty, and there are nearly 4,000 more people in the imperial court for this matter alone.

This is only a part of the area, if there are such free schools all over the country, then there will be more people who eat court meals, and many of the people who fail to make the list can be regarded as having a place to live, so that they will not starve to death on the streets without any skills.

Of course, Li Xiang also moved the cake of the family by doing this, and he wanted to study because he was also divided into high and low, ordinary people naturally did not have this opportunity, and the tuition fee alone was a huge expense.

And many children have to help the family, if they go to school, it is equivalent to one less labor force in the family, and many people's families are unwilling.

Therefore, Li Xiang can only provide these children with two meals for free, and in addition, they do not charge their tuition, and even for some poor families, the imperial court must also take out some money to subsidize them, so that they can agree to their children to go to school.

Many children of the aristocracy are unwilling, and there are many people who originally took the exam, but now if they are ordinary people and children, doesn't it mean that their opportunities are getting fewer and fewer?

I don't know how many people have talked about this proposal over the years, but this proposal has been promoted throughout the country, and Zhangsun Wuji has made a lot of efforts in it, if you want to talk about the contribution to national education, Changsun Wuji should be in the first place.

"My uncle's contribution to the whole country and nation over the years is seen by everyone, and it is really a merit in the present and a benefit in the future."

When Li Xiang said this, the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji also flashed, who doesn't want to have a good reputation, if this matter is really counted on the head of the eldest grandson Wuji, it is really famous for eternity.

Of course, the main credit has to be attributed to Li Shimin's head, which is also a rule of all dynasties, no matter how much good you have done to this country, the emperor must take the greatest credit, and the specific implementers can be placed on your head, which can be regarded as a share of your pie.

"The economy of the Tang Dynasty has also improved in recent years, and the income of the imperial court has also increased exponentially, and now the imperial court can collect nearly 30 million yuan in taxes, which is directly related to the increase in territorial area and the improvement of economic conditions."

Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji say this, Li Xiang was also more pleased, you must know that when he led the troops for the first time, the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty was only one-third of what it is now, and if he can do this thing, he can't do that thing, and now with the victory of foreign wars, coupled with the frequent circulation of goods in the country, the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty has tripled, which is also a major merit.

The credit on the battlefield naturally belongs to Li Xiang and his subordinates, at most Li Shimin plus a person who knows people and is good at work, as for the others in Chang'an City, although they have the same credit in logistics, they can't share much.

The meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji's words, Li Xiang also understands that most of the heroes canonized by the imperial court over the years are under your hands, and now many people in the imperial court are already a little dissatisfied, and they should find a reason to show favor to them, otherwise these people will become more and more slack, and in the end they will not do anything, or even go to the opposite side of Li Xiang.

"Uncle said that this matter is very important, and now we should also reward some of it, and their efforts over the years are also very large, if it were not for their efforts, then there would be no Tang Empire today."

With Li Xiang's words, the eldest grandson Wuji also knows what to do, there are also some people in the court who need to be wooed, and you can't erase the benefits they deserve.

Once or twice, maybe I don't care, if there is no benefit for the adult months, it is estimated that these people will not be willing to continue to work hard, and the various policies of the imperial court still need them to keep an eye on it, once these people are unwilling to work hard, then I am afraid that the carriage of the imperial court will stop.

"I have some other things to do here, so I won't leave you here to eat today, but I have made an appointment with you for lunch, and I think he's ready to eat there......"

The eldest grandson Wuji's words made Li Xiang a little surprised, and made an appointment for me to eat? And with whom?
