Fang Xuanling took a few steps with the report, and when he saw that Wei Zheng didn't move, Fang Xuanling stopped his steps and looked at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng: "? ”

He raised his head and looked at Fang Xuanling with a puzzled expression, you are leaving, what do you mean by standing here.

Fang Xuanling: "? ”

You're not coming with me?

"What do you think I'm doing?" Wei Zheng spoke helplessly.

"You're not leaving?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"Why should I go with you, the old man is from Menxia Province, what does it have to do with your Shangshu Province?" Wei Zheng was a little depressed, when did I wear a pair of pants with you? My subordinate province is specially supervising your Shangshu Province, so you can figure it out.

"Let's go, Your Highness is not easy to fool, I am strong and not slack off." Fang Xuanling said helplessly.

"I'm not going, it has nothing to do with me anyway." Wei Zheng was a little depressed, I am depressed enough to be detained as a person of His Royal Highness inexplicably, you call me over at every turn, what does this mean?

"Then Zhao Guogong will go with him." Fang Xuanling looked at the eldest grandson Wuji next to him who was about to return to his yamen.

"What am I going to do? You forgot, and the old man didn't know about it. Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and said.

"You forgot you said you missed your mouth?" Fang Xuanling was a little speechless.

"No, no, it's not a conflict with me knowing that I don't know about it, I don't know about it." Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head, "I'm going back to do business, some policies of next year's conference still need to be reformulated, and there are still many Datang laws that need to be re-discussed whether to pass or not." ”

Fang Xuanling: "......"

You're really not going to get in the salt.

But the eldest grandson Wuji didn't go, and Fang Xuanling had no choice, but Wei Zheng couldn't go if he didn't go.

So...... On the way to the Liangyi Palace, Fang Xuanling walked in front, and Wei Zheng, a big injustice, walked behind, and he was directly dragged over by Fang Xuanling.

"Hey, to be honest, I'm also a little bit thinking about Duke Ming now." Wei Zheng sighed and spoke.

"What do you mean?" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng with some doubts.

"Because if he is here, he will definitely accompany you at this time, and it has nothing to do with the old man." Wei Zheng shook his head and said.

"You think beautifully, although Du Keming is gone, but I still have to say, his heart is black when he cuts it, and I'm not afraid that he will come to trouble me at night. For something like something related to His Royal Highness, you have to come to Zheng Guogong. Fang Xuanling shook his head and said.

Wei Zheng: "......"

You're ruthless, that's what you call your partner.

"Zheng Guogong, don't have this expression, you may not believe it when you say it, my relationship with Du Keming is not good." Fang Xuanling said very seriously, "Although I often need him to help me make some decisions. ”

"But whoever told you that the two of us worked well together, the personal relationship is good."

"So I'm scolding him now and I'm talking about the past, his heart is black when he cuts it."

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said.

Wei Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, anyway, Du Keming can't refute your words now, and it's up to you to say what you say. You said that Duke Ming's heart is black, and you are no better, and the hearts of you strategists are dirty.

Only I, Wei Zheng, have a sincere heart, and heaven and earth can learn from it.

Hey, how did you end up on this road of no return.

Wei Zheng sighed and followed Fang Xuanling to the Liangyi Palace, for Wei Zheng's appearance, Fang Xuanling didn't care, as long as he came, because Fang Xuanling only found out in the past two years, Wei Xuancheng is a bit interesting.

When he arrived at the Liangyi Palace, after Fang Xuanling came in, he asked a little suddenly: "Hey, why is Your Highness you, Your Majesty?" ”

You are so shameless, the corner of Wei Zheng's mouth twitched, and he almost scolded.

"Liang Guogong, no, I wasn't here just now, are you so slow to get news?" Li Ke raised his head helplessly and looked at Fang Xuanling and asked.

"It's not that the minister's news is slow, it's not so much that the minister's news is slow, but that the minister's affairs are many, and the statistical work after this year has continued until now, and the minister is not idle for a moment, and many things are naturally ignored." Fang Xuanling said helplessly.

Li Ke automatically ignored his words, since Shangshu Province was divided into more than a dozen departments, and the number of things to deal with in each department increased, Fang Xuanling had to complain once he met, anyway, it was impossible for Li Ke to intervene.

"So, Datang's 23 years of statistical work are probably over?" Li Ke directly changed the topic.

"It's over, Datang's 23-year treasury tax revenue is about 16.75 million yuan, almost all of which come from commercial taxes, and other tax rates have basically been exempted, and the state-owned commercial banks have handed over 18.5 million yuan in profits, with a total income of 35.25 million yuan." Fang Xuanling nodded, and then reported to Li Ke that there was nothing but a string of numbers.

"Okay, yes, there are about 3.5 libraries." Li Ke said with a smile.

Fang Xuanling was a little speechless, he wanted to complain, Your Highness, can you not use the unit of the library, now this is about to become a real unit.

"You can discuss the formulation of taxes by yourself, since many taxes have been cancelled, whether the cancellation is reasonable or not, these are all to be demonstrated, and the existence of some taxes has other significance, then it is best not to cancel, but in the situation of state subsidies, nominally it is still there, but in fact there is no need for the people to pay a penny." Li Ke explained.

"Yes, the ministers will discuss this in detail." Fang Xuanling nodded.

It is said that the treasury income of the Great Song Dynasty was more than 160 million guan a year, and Datang is only more than 30 million guan now, not even a fraction of others.

However, considering that Datang has abolished the complete agricultural tax, it is already very good to rely solely on commercial taxes to achieve this.

Of course, a considerable part of the commercial tax must come from the large amount of tax brought by foreign trade, and a considerable part of it is the profits handed over by state-owned commercial banks.

And a considerable part of the profits they handed over were due to the fact that the private trading houses of the gate valve family had to add all kinds of equipment, and the profits from these equipment must have to be paid to the imperial court.

"What about the population?" Li Ke asked.

"In terms of population, we have no way to investigate carefully, but according to the proportion of counties near Chang'an, and referring to the current overall population of Datang, we calculated that it is about 31.6 million people, and the survival rate of newborn babies in Datang has been increasing in recent years, while the case fatality rate is declining rapidly."

"This alone will inevitably be a period of population explosion in Datang in the next few years, and according to our estimates, Datang's population growth rate is estimated to be about 8% in the next year." Fang Xuanling reported to Li Ke.

"Your Highness, the officials of Shangshu Province outside the door ask to see you." Xu Xiang pushed open the door and walked in.

"Come in." Li Ke was a little puzzled, Fang Xuanling is here, and the officials of Shangshu Province have something to report?

Soon, an official in his thirties pushed open the door and walked in, and only after saluting Li Ke did he speak: "Your Highness, Liang Guogong, Your Majesty wills, let you have something to report to the Xuanzheng Palace." ”

Li Ke: "? "Didn't you go and see it?
