Thirty percent of the grain rent was already very low in this era, especially since the abolition of the mediocrity and the absence of other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the burden on the peasants was very low.

However, as soon as Li Ye finished speaking, Zhao Chongning raised an objection, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and sympathetic to the people, but the minister thinks that the grain rent is not appropriate, and Guanzhong is tired. ”

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that he had taken it for granted and looked at this era from the perspective of modern people.

After some deliberation, the grain rent was set at 60%. Li Ye thinks it's too high, but there is no way, how can the three-percent grain rent fight with other feudal towns that collect ninety percent of the grain rent?

We can only see if we can open up other sources of revenue later.

At this time, Guanzhong is not compared with the Kaiyuan period, years of war, water conservancy disrepair, farmers fleeing, the quality of the field seriously declined, don't look at the books there are nearly 20,000 hectares, these 20,000 hectares, only the best good land has a harvest, and the medium and inferior have something to produce is good.

It depends on whether God gives face.

Zhao Chongning estimated that the harvest was 300,000 stones, which was considered good. The population of 270,000 in Chang'an City is not counting the displaced people and pro-guard troops that Li Ye placed in Xiliu City.

The food problem is still quite serious.

Fortunately, the two states of Huatong were taken.

These two places were important grain producing areas in the Qin State, especially the opening of the Zhengguo Canal, which was fertile for thousands of miles.

And Zheng Guoqu happened to pass through Tongzhou, across the north of Chang'an, all under the rule of Li Ye.

As long as there is water, the inferior fields will become medium fields, and the medium fields will become superior fertile fields.

Zhao Chongning took the initiative to ask: "This matter will be handed over to the minister." ”

Li Ye remembered Yuan Jingcheng, who happened to be in Tongzhou at the moment, "No, there are already candidates for this matter, you continue to check the population and fields of Huatong and Tongzhou." ”

Population and land are the real strengths.

Guanzhong is broken, but there are still some old foundations.

It is precisely because of the ruins of Guanzhong that most of the various forces have been eliminated, no matter what Li Ye does, the resistance will not be very great.

At present, Li Maozhen is still competing with Wang Jian for Hanzhong, Li Keyong is attacking Li Cunxiao's Xingzhou with all his might, and Zhu Wen is pointing to Zhu Jin and Zhu Xuan's brothers in Shandong, which is a good time for Li Ye's development.

The first heavy snow in Guanzhong was long overdue.

The entire city of Chang'an was wrapped in silver, and the heavy snow covered up the blood in the city and the decay of Chang'an.

Before you know it, it is the end of the year, and in the past, on Chinese New Year's Eve, a large banquet would be held in the palace, inviting dignitaries and dignitaries from all over Chang'an.

But this time is different from the past, the court has to use money everywhere, and the palace has just experienced a mutiny, everything is simple, and the banquet is naturally canceled.

After Li Ye held a small family banquet in the palace, he went to Xiliu City.

Because of the heavy snowfall, I didn't ride a horse.

Now Zhou Yunyi and Yuan Jingcheng are in Tongzhou, Zhang Xingjin and Li Xiaoqi are in Tongguan, Ashina Zhenyan is in Chang'an, and the affairs of Xiliucheng fall on Yang Jian, Ma Kaishan, An Sicheng, and Tuoba Yungui.

Difficulties are always the most sharpening, and the four of them show their strengths.

Ma Kaishan and Tuoba Yungui are good at leading the army, and during this time, they swept away a lot of bandit villages, and the population of Xiliu City doubled again, and they couldn't live anymore.

Yang Jian is good at training, he has completely learned Li Ye's set, and added some of his own training methods, and the effect is still good.

After Yuan Jingcheng went to Tongzhou, the political affairs of Xiliucheng fell on An Sicheng.

This guy seems to have some Hu blood, and his eyes are a little blue, Li Ye remembers that the people surnamed An in the Tang Dynasty all migrated from outside.

When asked about him, this guy resolutely refused to admit it, saying that he was a serious son of Chang'an, and his father and ancestor lived in Chang'an City during the martial anniversary, and His Majesty could not insult him like this.

Li Ye laughed, the opening of Datang is here.

Hosoyanagi City is still in the initial stage, and everything is very primitive.

There was a big bonfire, and two fat sheep were hung clean, and there was no wine.

However, the atmosphere was very warm, and the rabbit cubs did not regard Li Ye as an outsider at all, and Li Ye did not regard himself as an emperor.

I didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

Li Ye follows the local customs, does not engage in speciality, and sleeps in a big room with them.

In this era, there was no cotton, and the quilts were filled with catkins and reeds, which were not very warm, and there was a bonfire in the house, which was quite warm.

In the early hours of the morning, the snare drum sounded.

Rabbit cubs generally jump up from the quilt with a nervous reflex.

With such a big movement, Li Ye couldn't sleep, so he could only get up with him and line up in the playground like an ordinary soldier.

Li Ye used to train with them, but Yang Jian didn't treat him as an outsider.

Before the three-way drum arrived, the soldiers were assembled, and the huge playground was full of people.

The armor, spears, swords, bows and arrows were draped neatly, as if they were going to fight.

The leaders of each team restrained the team and went out of the city in an orderly manner.

Although the heavy snow stopped, the snow was two feet thick, and Yang Jian took the lead and ran in front of the team.

If someone falls down in the middle, they will get up on their own.

Fortunately, Li Ye did not put down exercise in Chang'an, but it was far worse than this kind of training.

Marching in the snow is not an easy task, and with so much equipment, Li Ye gradually felt tired, and for the sake of his image, he could only grit his teeth and insist.

Xin Shiro around him was as relaxed as if he was nothing, and most of the people in the pro-guard capital were like this.

It seems that during this time, I have slackened, and without a good body, everything is in vain.

After the thirty-mile march, when he returned to Xiliu City, Li Ye was so tired that he was about to vomit blood.

Yang Jian's training was not only about marching, but also about spears, horizontal swords, bows and arrows.

In order to show that the emperor shared weal and woe with them, Li Ye could only participate with his life.

By noon, the training was finished, and Li Ye felt that the three souls and six spirits were shaking, and he had no appetite for food at all.

"Your Majesty!" A big-headed soldier brought him a bowl of gruel.

Li Ye barely drank a little before he felt his soul return to his body.

Suddenly felt that this voice was a little familiar, and looked back, isn't this King Qin Li Sizhou?

After not seeing him for a few days, his eyes shone brighter, and when he saw that the emperor recognized him, he smiled, "Brother meets Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, okay, this is in the army, there is not so much etiquette." Seeing that there were many people around, he pulled Li Sizhou outside where there was no one.

"Are you still used to being here?"

Li Sizhou looked embarrassed, "I was very unaccustomed to it at first, and I suffered a lot of losses, but then I slowly got used to it." ”

"Didn't reveal the identity of the prince?"

"No, the younger brother is afraid that they will not accept it, so he only joins the army as a child of Chang'an."

"Good." Li Ye sincerely praised, as long as he persists, there will inevitably be reborn changes. "I've heard about Chang'an, right?" Li Ye suddenly asked.

Li Sizhou fell silent.

"Do you think I'm too ruthless?" After all, Li Ye personally cut off the heads of the three princes, and the rest of those who participated in the rebellion were also beheaded, and their families were demoted to concubines.

"The ministers don't dare, for so many years, what they have done is in the eyes of the ministers, and now the country is in trouble, these people don't want to repay, but they have the idea of not parting, and they deserve it, but, but some of these princes have watched their ministers grow up, to be honest, the ministers can't bear it." Li Sizhou still said what he thought in his heart.

The princes of the clan all lived in the mansions of the sixteen kings, and they were relatives when they went out, so they naturally came and went closely.

Li Ye patted him on the shoulder, "Datang has weakened so much, they don't have the same heart as me, and they take advantage of the fire to rob, which is beyond their reach." ”

In fact, there is no need for Li Ye to comfort him, there are many things that the Li family is doing in the same room, and this time it is completely the princes who are looking for death by themselves.

After chatting for a while, the snare drum sounded again, and Li Ye and Li Sizhou hurriedly gathered.

In the afternoon, it is a five-day martial arts competition, spearmanship, knife skills, bows and arrows, fists and feet, what skills are there.

Yang Jian also set up a reward, and the winner ate meat at night.

In recent years, most of them have a bit of martial arts, and the young people are also competitive, intent on showing off in front of Li Ye, and the fight is extremely fierce, and the onlookers applaud again and again.

How could Li Sizhou give up this opportunity to show his face, he was born in the clan, he has loved martial arts since he was a child, and he is skilled in swords, guns and sticks, so he took a spear and went up at the moment.

His marksmanship is good, but his opponent is not weak, one has solid marksmanship, and the other has deep roots. The two of them are like dancing pear blossoms, dazzling.

After all, it was Li Si Zhou who took a point and swept away the opponent's spear.

The soldiers were all revered and strong, and the crowd cheered loudly.

Li Ye's blood boiled when he saw it, and he felt that he should be okay.

He drew a wooden knife and went up.

The emperor was all on the field, and the other competitions naturally stopped.

Li Ye's main practice of swordsmanship in the palace during this period of time is not to say how strong he is, and it should be no problem to deal with three or two ordinary soldiers.

The opponent's eighteen or nineteen-year-old guy, the first batch to join the pro-guard, knew Li Ye's temperament, and he was not polite, "Your Majesty should be careful." ”

Li Ye didn't talk nonsense with him, just copy the knife.

The sword of later generations is modeled after the Tang knife, Li Ye is a senior otaku, I have watched a lot of island films, especially like sword and halberd films, remember three moves and two styles, knife technique, nothing more than to win with strength, if the strength is insufficient, it must be fast.

Zhaozong in history is not a weak emperor who has no power to restrain the power of the chicken, and history records that he is good at equestrian and long lance.
