"Alas~" Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai's back and sighed lightly, since Li Tai fought for the crown, there has been a gap between the two, and they are not as close as before. There is nothing to say when we meet now.

Li Chengqian wanted to open his mouth several times to persuade Li Tai not to fight and not to get too close to the family. But when the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back, if he said so, it seemed that he was angry.

"Big brother, everyone has their own life, don't mind, he will understand in the future." Li Shen saw Li Chengqian's thoughts and comforted, and then Li Shen said again

"By the way, eldest brother, why is the fourth brother here, even if it is to review the folds, it is only you, there should be no fourth brother. What the hell is Aya trying to do? ”

"I don't know what Aya thinks, am I not doing well enough?" Li Chengqian's mood was a little low

"Big brother, don't care, didn't I tell you, no matter what happens, you just need to hold steady, no one can take away your position, it's okay to relax and relax. Let my sister-in-law find a few maids to go to my Nayi Habitat to learn massage, tea art, nothing to drink tea and read how good it is. ”

Li Chengqian smiled, this old ten will enjoy it. In this way, the two of them walked while talking, and they didn't take the carriage, Li Shen directly sent Li Chengqian back to the East Palace, and it was not far anyway. And Li Shen also went home.

At the court meeting the next day, Li Shimin finally announced that he would go to the Yiren Residence opened by King Ji tomorrow to have fun with the courtiers. In order to express the recognition of the hard work of the ministers.

The ministers were naturally grateful, and the newspapers also published on the front page that the Yiren Habitat was renamed Heaven and Earth, a comprehensive entertainment place integrating bathing, leisure, tea houses, and restaurants.

There are a lot of fresh words in the newspaper that make the reader feel refreshed.

On the second day,

Li Shimin took the courtiers to the old site of Yirenju, Li Shen had already led people to wait at the door, Li Shimin took the lead to look at a huge gilded plaque hanging above, which was written with four big characters in heaven and earth.

"Your place is called heaven and earth? Isn't that a bit of a big name? Li Shimin turned his head and asked Li Shen, who was following behind.

"Back to Aye, it's not big at all, let Aya enjoy it today." As he spoke, he took the courtier directly to the bathing department.

"Ayah, this is the place to bathe, the water is ready. Why don't you let everyone enjoy it, it's already here anyway. ”

"Well, okay then, let's have fun and bathe together today." This kind of thing is actually the same as a reward, bathing with the emperor is a reward for the courtiers, just like Qianlong and Liu Yong bathing.

Li Shen gave an order to the steward, and many subordinates came in at once to help the ministers change their clothes, and these people were used to serving at home.

And the one who served Li Shimin could not be a subordinate, Li Shimin was taken to the room specially prepared by Li Shen alone, and the eunuch brought by Wang De was responsible for giving Li Shimin wide clothes.

It stands to reason that he should find two servants, but Li Shen thinks that it is not very appropriate to find a servant girl to serve his father, if this unreliable father takes a fancy to bring him back to the palace, then his mother still doesn't complain about him?

Next, everyone took a lively bath together, Li Shimin's favorite was the sauna, and the bathing link made these court ministers scream.

After all the washing, Li Shen sent everyone a set of loose bathrobes to the second floor, a group of warblers and Yanyan were responsible for making tea, drinking tea and listening to the legend on the stage, making everyone comfortable, and then Li Shen arranged for the girls of Yirenju to massage them.

It is also a special arrangement for Li Shimin, Yi Renju has two top brands, and the two of them have one for each person. Moreover, Li Shen also gave Li Shimin a preventive injection, saying that these two people would be in his house in the future.

Lying on the bed and enjoying a professional massage, Li Shimin relaxed wholeheartedly. This house is just the two of them, and Li Shimin has no worries.

"Old ten, you are really a person who will enjoy it, it is said that the king of Xuan was unreasonable, and the wine pond meat forest, I think it is similar to this."

"Aya feels comfortable, Aya can come often in the future, every day is full of opportunities, and he should also relax and combine work and rest." The place where the emperor often comes must be a good place, better than all his propaganda.

"I won't come, although this place is good, I can enjoy it too much, consume my will, and be gentle with the hero's grave. This should be the case with the king back then, who can't extricate himself from his greed for enjoyment. ”

"Aye, when you say this, it seems that I am a vain minister, deliberately deceiving the king." Li Shen pouted

"Hahaha, it's really like you say this, because of you in the past few years, I have a new understanding of money, and sometimes I feel that I have become greedy for money." In recent years, because of Li Shen, Li Shimin has been very sensitive to money, including the money in the pocket.

And through what Li Shen did, he also discovered that a country should not only develop agriculture, but also commerce.

"Old ten, how do you say you can make the country richer?" Li Shimin wants Datang to become rich and strong every day, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. But none of this is possible without money.

It can be said that every cent of the annual tax revenue of the household department is used for national construction, but it is still insufficient.

"Taxes, of course." Li Shen replied without hesitation.

"Isn't it also collecting taxes now?" Li Shimin was puzzled

"Aye, now the eight layers of my Datang collection are agricultural taxes, which are collected from the people, and 20% are customs duties and city taxes, and taxes are collected from merchants, right?"

"Almost," Li Shimin nodded

"Why doesn't Aya consider collecting taxes from merchants. The money earned by a merchant every year can be worth the income of thousands of people, and we can elevate the status of the merchant and then collect business taxes.

Taxes don't have to be too high, and taxes are collected in steps. For example, no tax is levied for those below 20 per month, and 1 tax is 1 for between 20 and 100 yuan. Ten taxes for more than 100 guan two, ten taxes for more than 10,000 guan three. ”

"Ten taxes three? Merchants will not pay" The Han Dynasty was also troubled by the collection of taxes by merchants.

"Aya, if you don't pay it, you will break the law, the property will be seized, all illegal gains will be confiscated, and the owner will be arrested and sent to hard labor." Who in the future will dare not pay taxes? Tax evasion will punish you to death.

"No, you're too radical like this, these rich businessmen have backers behind them, and they are intertwined and difficult to move." Li Shimin must have thought more than Li Shen,

"Alright! Aya now has fewer people in the Tang Dynasty and more land, and our tax system is low, so the current people can't be said to be rich, but if there is no disaster year, they can still have food and clothing.

The rent adjustment can also support the national treasury, which can be more populous and less land. How does the country work? "The rent and commission adjustment is the tax system of the Zhenguan period, the rent is the land rent, the servant is the labor, and the adjustment is the silk brocade linen. (If you are interested, the author can explain the taxation of the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty separately.) ）
