If His Majesty and His Royal Highness have already passed the qi, it means that this matter is very likely to be true, as long as this thing is true, it means that there will inevitably be great conflicts between the ministers in the court, and this wave of conflict depends on how big the actions of His Highness and His Majesty are at the beginning.

But no matter how big it is, none of the ministers in the court can resist this huge temptation, which means that this commercial tax must be collected! And it's definitely easy to get through the court.

Now His Royal Highness has taken advantage of his strength to directly throw the problem to the gate valve family itself, and the ministers, as representatives of the gate valve family, when their own interests conflict with the interests of their representatives, how should they choose?

In fact, there is no need to guess the answer to this question.

Think about it, the drastic increase in power, or the fact that you don't have to pay some money, which one do you think you will choose? From the courtiers' point of view, who cares about that bit of money? Isn't it just to pay some money? They have paid all the money, if His Majesty can really give up more rights.

This means that Datang will enter a new stage, and when the gate valve family feels that they will be exchanged for greater benefits.

The question is, what they can think of, His Highness can't think of?

With His Highness's current means, he must have carefully considered these questions.

It's just that what to do later, Wei Zheng can't think of it, what he can expect now is that if the commercial tax is collected, according to the current level of commercial trade near Chang'an City, the treasury of Datang will increase by at least fifty percent after collecting the commercial tax!

And this kind of income will increase with the continuous increase of Datang commerce, and the treasury will not even need agricultural taxes in the future, or reduce agricultural taxes to a very low level, so that the people will naturally keep more grain in their hands, and at that time, maybe food will not be a problem.

Wei Zheng also had some thoughts in his mind.

While Wei Zheng was imagining here, Li Ke hesitated for a moment and walked directly to the palace, he felt the crisis!

Daddy's crisis of making trouble! So Li Ke felt that he had to find an excuse to go out quickly.

He hasn't traveled this year, so he has to go out.

When he arrived at the palace, Li Ke easily found Li Shimin in the Liangyi Palace.

"Sit down, it looks like you've got an understanding of the business tax." Li Shimin asked.

"Actually, it's not difficult, when I told my father in 19, you might be suspicious of your father, but this year, you found out that the people near Chang'an are rich, and after they have money, the people will buy some daily necessities that are beneficial to life."

"For example, kitchen knives, iron pots, and even some people who make a little money will buy some meat on major festivals."

"And these are all changes, according to the latest data provided by the commercial bank under my name for the sales of salt produced in Xizhou, the sales of salt in 50 wooden boxes have increased a lot this year, which means that many people have money and start to consume."

"And this money will flow into Xizhou and become the funds in the hands of the people of Xizhou, and the funds in the hands of the people of Xizhou will enter my hands through my industry in Xizhou, and the money that enters my hands will be hired by me in all parts of the Tang Dynasty, hire veterans, and return to the hands of the people."

"Now you should have a more intuitive feeling, father." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Indeed." Li Shimin nodded, Li Ke told him before that no matter how fanciful he was, it was not as good as what he saw himself, and the most ingenious thing was that everyone seemed to be benefiting from this process? The people became rich, their lives were better, and then the country became stronger, and even if the commercial tax was collected, the treasury would be more funded.

As the treasury funds increase, the treasury can spend more military spending and start the reform of the professional army, and then the government military system of the Tang Dynasty will gradually become history, turning into a conscription system plus a professional military system.

Li Shimin can now find a complete context in Li Ke's twenty-one articles.

"Before, in the barracks, you said you had something to talk to me about, what was it?" Li Shimin sat up straight.

"I'm going to Lingnan Road, in person, and I may need to lead a navy, and maybe even the right to use force at any time." Li Ke said.

"Oh, then you bring the talisman and the jade seal." Li Shimin sighed, nothing special.

Li Ke: "......"

"You went to Lingnan Road just for the grain production area of True Wax and Linyi?" Li Shimin asked.

"Yes. It also includes the acquisition of a large number of porcelain from the Tang Dynasty, as well as silk, linen, silk and silk. Li Ke said.

The main trade materials of the Tang Dynasty were silk, linen, silk, tea, and porcelain.

Although the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was not as famous in the Western Regions as it was in the Song and Ming dynasties, it was actually very famous.

"I'll leave it to you." Li Shimin nodded.

"Besides, I want to father all your insiders." Li Ke spoke again.

"What?" Li Shimin immediately became vigilant, "You have tens of millions of dollars in your hand, and you still beat your father and me for this little money?" I don't have more than a million in my hands. ”

"Invest in shares, and set up the Datang Royal Foundation." Li Ke was a little helpless.

"What do you mean? The ones you painted with the clan? Li Shimin was a little strange.

"It is to use the funds in your father's hands as the capital, and then invest in some industries to make profits, that is, the Datang Royal Foundation, to put it bluntly, completely separate the royal private property from the treasury." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Oh? Can you make that much money in your hands? Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Li Ke nodded calmly.

"Then I'll spend all this money how I want to spend it, right?" Li Shimin was completely moved, and he was afraid to spend some money now.

"I can't." Li Ke's face was calm.

"Why?!" Li Shimin's eyes widened.

"You are the emperor of a country, the symbol of the Tang Dynasty, and the most noble existence of the Tang Dynasty, and your daily expenses and consumption should be provided by the treasury." Li Ke's tone was a little strange.

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin's face was not good, and he looked at Li Ke with a frown, you told me that the imperial assets and the treasury were separated, and that the treasury provided my daily expenses and consumption? What do you mean?

"This means that you are the emperor and everything you have is paid by the treasury, but you have no right to inherit the Imperial Assets Foundation as the emperor, or in other words, you automatically renounce the right to inherit when you inherit the throne. In the future, all emperors who inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty will automatically give up the inheritance of imperial assets, of course, your children will still have them, except for the next emperor. Li Ke said with a smile.

Li Shimin: "......"
