Han Tongwen was talking eloquently at the dinner table, while Zhao Haiquan dragged a lame leg outside and blew it out. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"My young master is a dragon and phoenix, we met for the first time in Black Tiger Mountain, the young master and I fell in love at first sight, the young master has the dream and pursuit of the young master, and he has become famous all over the world in five years, on martial arts, Qin Zisang Qin Young Master and Ye Liuye Young Master, Qin Zisang Yeliu, you know who it is, one is the future owner of the super power Wanjian Villa, and the other is the young master of the Ye family, although the two of them have a good relationship with me, but we have one to say, if they really fight, they are only five or five points with my young master"

"Is it really so powerful?" Dai Lu is the housekeeper of the Dai family, and he listens to Zhao Haiquan's braggadocio very seriously.

"Of course, I, Zhao Haiquan, am also an ambitious person, and the young master of our family really convinced me, so I am willing to be a housekeeper."

"Yes, Brother Zhao is also very visionary, and he chose a person with such potential as Han Gongzi"

"Of course, it's not me who blows, according to the ability of our young master, he will definitely be ranked as the third prince in the future" Zhao Haiquan looked at a green potted plant next to him very beautifully, and pinched off a leaf intentionally or unintentionally, this leaf tasted quite rushing.

Han Tongwen watched Zhao Haiquan put a cannon in his mouth after eating, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Dai Quan and the others, kicked Zhao Haiquan, and asked him to leave quickly, when Zhao Haiquan left, Han Tongwen inadvertently glanced at the green potted plant, and seemed to feel something familiar, and he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

It's already late after eating, and you can't walk on the main street, you will be caught by Wuhou who patrols the street, so you can only take the side roads, and there are many chivalrous people on Chang'an Street, and anything can appear. In the middle of the walk, I encountered a very strange scene, a man hanging from a tree without an inch, with a ball of cotton cloth stuffed in his mouth.

"What's going on," Han asked

Zhao Haiquan walked over and took a closer look, "Isn't this the son of the Xiangcheng Hou family?"

"You know"

The hanging man saw Zhao Haiquan and Han Tongwen whimpering and wanted to speak, but they couldn't make a sound with something stuffed in their mouths.

"This kid often bullies men and women with the identity of the young marquis, secretly insults his wife and daughter, and is a full hungry ghost, this time I want to do this thing again, and I was punished by which hero" Zhao Haiquan told all his bad deeds, and never mentioned that he didn't save him because he was often beaten by him when he asked for food before.

Han Tongwen looked at the thing under the crotch of this young marquis, just a little bit of face as a hooligan, if he didn't learn well, now the retribution is coming, and he was hung on the tree by the ranger who was overflowing with justice in Chang'an City, just like a sausage.

"Don't talk nonsense, the nobles of Chang'an have unique hobbies, some like to go through the back door, and some are good men, I think this young marquis probably also wants to change places and postures to enjoy the moonlight."

The young marquis whimpered frantically and shook his head

"Since the young marquis has such a Yaxing, we won't bother, I'm looking for a few friends to come and see you tomorrow"

"Woo woo woo woo ....." the young marquis looked fierce and seemed to be saying something.

Han Tongwen listened carefully: "Is the young marquis asking what is the name of the next step? If you go down again, you won't change your name, you won't change your surname, my name is Ye Liu!"

"Farewell!"

After speaking, he left swaggeringly regardless of the young marquis's pleading expression.

Back to Hanye Village, Han Tongwen didn't feel sleepy, sitting in the two halls, with Erlang's legs crossed, Han Tongwen was thinking about some problems all night, and Qiao Song was very well-behaved and peeled a fruit for him next to him, and he didn't know what kind of fruit it was, and it was quite crispy when he ate it in his mouth.

"Master, what have you been worrying about for the past two days?" Qiao Song asked

"Hey, the emperor has made me a government envoy, this is actually a mess, if you want to do it well, there are many difficulties, and if you don't do it well, you will force the refugees to rebel, and I have to take responsibility. There is no money and no food, and the princes in the court have no choice, why do they think I have such great ability. ”

"Haven't you already figured it out?"

"The relief materials in Beiting Xizhou have been roughly solved, but detailed improvements are still needed. If they want me to do it, they must promise me one thing, abolish the previous household registration and re-register the people of the two states" Han Tongwen's eyes were firm.

"Why do you want to abolish your previous household registration?"

"Qiao Song, I have studied the policies of my Tang Dynasty, among which the uniform land system and the rent adjustment system are the first decrees for the stability of the empire. The uniform land system is the foundation of taxation, and the rent adjustment is also levied according to the household registration, but the Tang Dynasty has not made a household registration for a long time, and even the people who died in the border war have not been able to get rid of the household registration, and the household department collects the rent according to the household registration, and the local government will evenly distribute the rent of the fictitious Ding household on everyone, some people have been dead for more than ten years, and they are still collecting taxes, and the people are already a little overwhelmed today.

Everyone in the officialdom knows this, even the emperor knows it, but they all keep silent, because the taxes levied by the fictitious household registration directly benefit the royal family, and the taxes of the rent and yong are directly in the hands of the royal family and are exclusively enjoyed by the royal family. If these taxes go to the national treasury, even two more states will be able to provide disaster relief, so why not starve rats to death in the treasury and the internal affairs government will be full of oil. Moreover, it is not the taxes collected by the renters that pay the salaries of officials, but the public money. ”

"Master, what is public money?" Qiao Song asked

"The public party is a subordinate department of the Young Prison Mansion, and it is a matter of lending money for the people of the world, and it is a compulsory loan, every big city of the size has a history in charge of the public office, with a principal of 50,000 Wen, a monthly interest of four cents, and the annual interest rate even reaches twice the capital, there are hundreds of such cities in the Tang Dynasty, and there are more than 10 million Wen in the public party every year alone, and all these money have been fished out by these noble officials. This is really the fact that there are many profits and bankrupts, and the common people are repaid. I don't know who came up with such a way to collect the people's fat and people's ointment, it's really damned. ”

"If I don't abolish the household registration and public office, I will provide disaster relief while they exploit them? Why don't I give all the money and food to these people, which disaster I am relieving, and which refugees are starving to death?" Han Tongwen scolded.

"It's so hateful, Master, why don't you mention it to Your Majesty," Qiao Song asked

"I can't mention it, I can't mention it. I wrote my thoughts to Mr. Li, and yesterday Xiao Jin brought back Mr. Li's reply, only four words, and the time has not yet come. If I change the system of rent, it will not only anger the interests of the aristocracy, but also the interests of the royal family. The royal family collects rents and taxes, and the nobles use public money to exploit them, each of them is insatiable, and the people of Chang'an City are quite rich, but other areas are miserable. This time, Xizhou and Beiting were injured, and it was difficult to recover for a while and could not be left alone, and they were very active when they were exploited, and when it came to serious business, no one wanted to take over this mess, and they threw it at me, and I will break this situation in these two states, and let them see what they will develop into if they stop exploiting for ten years. ”

"I can only tell you these words, if you spread it outside, my master will be miserable" Han Tongwen sighed, his little arm still can't twist the strong thigh of feudalism.

The next day, Han Tongwen and Pei Yan Shangguanyi came to the emperor's imperial study to finalize the specific plan for disaster relief, this time the emperor was accompanied by Empress Wu, and Gaozong also knew that he could not do without Empress Wu's help at this time.

"Have the two Aiqing discussed the disaster relief plan? and Han Tongwen, you kid rarely takes the initiative to come," Li Zhi asked with a smile

"Your Majesty, Brother Zilong and I are both foils today, and this time Tongwen is the protagonist," Shangguan Yi said with a smile

"Most of the decrees for disaster relief are Tongwen's ideas, and he knows best, but those of us who implement them still need to listen to Tongwen's opinions" Pei Yan also laughed, he actually didn't expect Han Tongwen to come up with a solution in such a short time.

"Oh, what do you have in mind, say it and let me and the queen help you refer to it" With the Empress Wu by his side, he also had some confidence.

"Your Majesty, my ideas are still a little immature, I hope Your Majesty and Niangniang will correct me"

"Tell me about it," said Empress Wu

"Your Majesty, at present, Xizhou and Beiting have been completely deserted, but the status of these two states is critical, Beiting is the gateway of the Tang Dynasty and the Golden Wolf Empire, Xizhou is adjacent to the Great Xia Empire, if it cannot be rebuilt, the war will break out again in the future, these two states will have no danger to rely on, Youzhou Liangzhou and other neighboring states will be impacted, and even slaughtered, because these two states need to be rebuilt in addition to disaster relief, at least they have the ability to resist the attack of the two empires"

Both Gaozong and Empress Wu thought that Han Tongwen was right.

"This war only destroyed Beiting, and did not affect Liangzhou Youzhou, because Beiting was not completely lost, Li Junxian used Beiting to fight around, so he persevered until victory, and the location of the two states is indeed critical, and it is very necessary to rebuild" Pei Yan said

"Reconstruction is easier said than done, the treasury is empty, and even disaster relief cannot be done, how to rebuild" Wu Hou asked the point in one sentence, "Tongwen, what idea do you have?"

"I do have some solutions, but I need His Majesty and Lord Pei to pass some decrees"

"Tell me what you can do," Li Zhi asked

"The treasury is empty and unable to provide disaster relief, and I think it should not be difficult to gather the strength of merchants to complete the reconstruction. ”

"Are they businessmen again? These people have such great ability? Moreover, the project and scale of rebuilding the two states are huge, and the cost of money and food is innumerable, even if they put all their wealth into it, it may not be enough, who would be so stupid," said Empress Wu

"What Niangniang said is that no one is willing to spend their life savings on rebuilding Beiting and Xizhou, but the imperial court can lure them to their advantage and turn Beiting and Xizhou into a special area for merchants and merchants. ”

"Interesting statement," Li Zhi said with a smile
