Chapter 561: His Royal Highness King Qin is too ruthless
Li Shimin paused, about the matter of commercial taxes, of course Li Shimin also wants to collect them, what is wrong with increasing the revenue of the national treasury? However, Li Ke had told him privately before, and now he suddenly brought it up in front of so many ministers, was this intentional?
"Oh? What are your thoughts? Li Shimin's face was calm, as if he had never heard it before.
"Erchen Guan, father, you have been tired of dealing with court politics recently, and after so many years, your father has worked hard." Li Ke didn't say anything else, but put on a high hat first, "Father, you are only thirty-seven years old this year, but you already have gray hair on your temples, and you look like a fifty-year-old person, you work too hard for the people of the world." ”
All the ministers are a little speechless, will you speak? What does a 37 look like a 50 year old? But this is what someone's son is saying, and the meaning of Li Ke's words is also good, everyone naturally can't stop it, this is not even criticized by Wei Zheng, Li Shimin dare not say that being the emperor is perfect, but in terms of diligence, Li Shimin Everyone can see it.
Not to mention Li Ke, it is their ministers who look at the past at this moment, after Li Shimin became the emperor, he is aging at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Looking at Li Ke with a sincere face, Li Shimin almost blurted out, "Look at your father and my hard work, you come to help me." But he held back, because he knew that Li Ke must not have held back anything good, and said in front of this scene that there must be a reason, and he had to follow the act.
"Okay, don't cry with me, just say, do you want something?" Li Shimin deliberately said angrily.
"Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen just wants to share his father's worries, so Erchen thinks Erchen wants to go to Lingnan next time to find a perfect grain production area for Datang." Li Ke smiled and said, "Of course, this is only one thing, and the second is that the son thinks that you don't have to work so hard. ”
"Oh?" Li Shimin remained silent, he knew that the second was the most important, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Do you have a good way?" ”
"Yes, Dad, you see, it seems that the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Wei, and the Duke of Zheng are all the pillars of the Tang Dynasty and the pillars of the Tang Dynasty! Including Wen Yanbo, the right servant of Shangshu who didn't come today, shot Yu Guogong Wen Yanbo, it's all like this. Therefore, Erchen thinks that you can simply let go of your power and hand over some things directly to them to deal with. Li Ke said with a calm face.
As soon as Li Ke said this, the hearts of the three people present skipped a beat, and before they could react, they heard Li Ke continue to speak.
"It's like the use of treasury funds, Erchen thinks that you will hand over your father to the eldest grandson Sikong, and Shangshu Province will be responsible for the left and right servants, and you will wait for the end of the year, and assign special auditors to audit their work to ensure that the funds are used in practice, and let them be responsible for how they use the money every day."
"At the beginning of the year, you can set some tasks for them, for example, where the river needs to be dredged this year, where there are disaster victims who need disaster relief, you give them tasks, let them do it themselves, and give full play to the subjective initiative of the ministers, and audit related work, the minister thinks that Wei Guogong is good, and the minister should not only supervise the emperor, but also the minister." Li Ke said with a smile.
Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"
Fang Xuanling: "......"
Wei Zheng: "......"
There was only one thought in the minds of the three of them at the moment: grass, there was dirt.
Your Highness, you're too vicious, aren't you...... The second thought of the three of them was this, these two thoughts came out, but their hearts were beating endlessly.
Because if Li Shimin really said what Li Ke said, then their power would be one or two times more inflated than it is now?! Regardless of whether they have other ideas or not, they can be regarded as reaching the pinnacle of Datang's power, and it is difficult to progress.
But now...... His Royal Highness the King of Qin actually withheld the right from His Majesty's hands to give them the right?! This!
But...... It's tempting, and it's difficult! These three are all human spirits, as soon as Li Ke said this, what did they not know?
If you still can't figure it out, let's think about the commercial tax that Li Ke mentioned before.
Thinking about the flavor of these words again, Li Shimin gave the task, they completed it, the treasury was handed over to them for use, and Li Shimin only audited, so the problem came...... What if you don't have money to complete a mission? Of course, we are trying to find a way to increase the revenue of the national treasury.
So how to increase the revenue of the treasury? Business tax! Isn't it clear that Your Highness has already pointed out the way to you?
Other words...... If they want these rights, then they have to find a way to rectify this commercial tax and find a way to promote the passage of commercial tax in the court.
"Dad, I think that if you do this, your pressure will not be as great as it is now, and ministers such as Qi Guogong can also show more of their own revenge, and when the Tang Dynasty gradually becomes brilliant, Qi Guogong and they are in the history books, and they are the good looks of those who have never been seen before or since, and Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty and Li Si of Qin cannot be compared." Li Ke said with a smile.
Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"
Fang Xuanling: "......"
Wei Zheng: "......"
It's ...... Not the son of man! You're too ruthless! This naked temptation! Naked temptation!
Li Shimin's expression was weird, he forcibly endured it for a long time before he could hold back, and looked at Li Ke strangely, Li Shimin now suspects that his son is what Zhang Liang and Zhuge Wuhou are not comparable, this has to be done together.
This means...... Hiss...... Because you think about it deeply, it seems that only the eldest grandson Wuji and a few of them have got the real thing, but is this really the case?
Reform of the system...... It's not a day or two, and these guys will always retreat, which means, guess which side the young officials below are going to stand on?
More than 80% of the ministers in the court are the spokespersons of the gate valve family, but Li Ke said that it .......
Even if it comes out of a real gate valve family, it is not impossible to jump back directly and target your own family first.
The temptation of fame is much greater than profit! This is especially true for those who come from a family.
Not to mention them, even the generals next to them are very excited, the reason is very simple, Li Jing also once served as the right servant of Shangshu, and Hou Junji is now the secretary of the military department, and they can be regarded as part of this right.
"Meet, what you said makes sense, it's true that the father is not strong, and it's not impossible to consider letting them take on more responsibilities, but this matter has to be considered in the long run." Li Shimin nodded and echoed Li Ke's words.
"Your Majesty, this matter ......" Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment and was about to speak, to be honest, he Wei Zheng couldn't refuse, mainly because ...... He Wei Zheng is not a saint, he also has a request, but this should always be refused, these three words and three invitations are also traditional, although strictly speaking, it is not his turn to speak, but who made him a servant.
