The emperor on the imperial throne nodded, then asked Li Mi and Jia Dan, who were under him, how about I want to stop the war with Zanpu of Xifan?

Li Mi quickly answered and followed his wishes.

So the emperor said that the northeast of Qinzhou, Shuiluchuan and Liupanguan areas were all obtained by the bloody battles of soldiers from northwest of my northwest. Moreover, the seven gates of Yuanzhou were the Confucius Road to defend against Xifan. I could not use these hard-won land to exchange for the officials and soldiers captured by Xiji Jielian. However, Gao Yue and Wei Gao had captured 1,400 foreign people in the Qingxi Pass. I was willing to use this as a bargaining chip to send Weilun to Shanzhou and discuss with the great remarks of the East Road of Xifan Shang Qixin'er, so that Zanpu knew that I could release these prisoners and asked the captured officials and soldiers of the Western Foreign Language General Cui Hanheng, Ma Sui, Yuan Tongzhi, Dou Shen, Lu Wen and other captured officials and soldiers. In addition, the corpses of my Tang people who were killed in the alliance should be retrieved together.

"The Holy Lord is wise." The ministers in the hall replied in unison.

Sure enough, as soon as the emperor's edict came out, the families who gathered outside the Daming Palace to cause trouble felt at ease, praised the Holy Lord's clear decision, and left and returned home one after another.

At the Maqiao Bridge in the Daming Palace, Gao Yue and Dou Shen both stood there.

"Douhushi, these foreigners were originally going to be sent to the mountains of Fengxing and the two states to dig saltpeter or refine sulfur. At least one year, our Xingyuan Mansion and Xichuan made a profit of 50,000 jin. However, it would be worth it if they could be exchanged for the return of the saved one." Gao Yue's tone was very sincere.

Dou Shen looked at Gao Yue coldly, "What else do you have to conspiracy? You might as well tell me it all at once."

Unexpectedly, Gao Yue was not polite, so he directly asked Dou Shen to say, "Three days later, the Holy Lord will open a wall to ask for advice from His Highness Xiao Yanying, and ask Dou Hu to follow Lu Sheren's comments."

"Senior high school, you are hindering the Holy Lord's governance!" Dou Shen was furious.

But Gao Yue said: "It's not a hindrance, this is also the long-term thought of the Holy Lord."

After saying that, Gao Yue bowed to Dou Shen and left immediately.

At the edge of the dragon's head and the trunk, Dou Shen was so angry that his face was twisted...

After returning to the house, Dou Shen was still angry and thought that Shen'er's life and death are hard to tell, and he couldn't help but feel very melancholy. Looking at the shrine of the fifth brother enshrined in the black curtain, he didn't know what to say. The fifth brother hadn't come to him for a long time.

At this time, the concubine Shangqing asked Dou Shen in understanding why she was so melancholy.

Dou Shen said angrily that although Shen'er is expected to return to China, Gao Yue's domineering arrogance made someone hate him.

At the age of twenty, Shangqing was originally a young girl named Yuzhiyuan in Qizhou. She was taken as a concubine by Dou Shen because of her cleverness and cleverness. She was most trusted at home.

After hearing this, Shangqing explained that you are in charge of the Censorate and the Ministry of Revenue. The court rules and financial plans are all in your hands. Why are you afraid of Gao Yue? Now, Gao Yue is favored by the Holy Lord and also serves as a local official. He is a new nobleman, so he is naturally arrogant. However, as long as the Ming Gong can unified the Three Divisions (Duzhi, Salt and Iron, and Ministry of Revenue) after Li Mi, he can be as rich as the position of priest, and then he can defeat Gao Yue.

Dou Shen's eyes turned, and she stroked her beard, thinking about something.

The Shangqing also said that the world is in turmoil, and raising troops, strengthening the country, and official salary are everything. The saint lord does not like to seek truth and only values ​​effectiveness. Therefore, whoever controls the wealth can command the court. Gao Yue wins over Wang Shao, Wan Qizhuo is the land camp in the northwest and the water transport envoy, and lets young talents such as Wu Yuanheng and Wei Zhiyi be county magistrates. They are all prepared for the future competition for profit and power. You must know that Gao Yue is Liu Yan's disciple. If Ming Gong wants to stay in the future, he must pay attention.

"You mean I want to win over..." Dou Shen couldn't help but remember that Cui Zao, who was defeated in the Southeast's power struggle, came to the party.

Shangqian nodded and said that the court's focus was only on the Central Plains, the southeastern water transportation and taxes. Fangzhen (Liu Xuanzuo, Li Na, Wu Shaocheng, Tian Xu, etc.) there also began to be dissatisfied with Gao Yue. Wei Gao's expansion, and Ming Gong could also have a wide range of friends. Then she supported Dou Shen and asked him to sit on the rope bed, comforting him and Xiao Yanying's palace to ask questions about Dou Shen. Ming Gong could make some compromises, cater to Gao Yue, and paralyze him. As long as Dou Shen could come back, it would be fine. From now on, all kinds of things can be discussed.

After listening to what Shangqing said, Dou Shen became clear in his heart...

Three days later, the emperor's call was held as scheduled in Yanying Hall.

Li Mi, Jia Dan, Dou Shen, Gao Yue and Lu Zhi participated together.

Lu Zhi indeed submitted a memorial request to the emperor to reform the shortcomings of the two tax laws, adjust the tax structure and principles, so as to cultivate the financial resources of the people in the world and ensure the healthy operation of national taxation.

In fact, in the secret banquet of Lingxu Temple in Fuxingfang, Gao Yue was very smart and did not directly hand over the law of the scriptures to the emperor. This plan was signed by the governor of Xingyuan, county magistrate, and the lieutenant. Gao Yue was in his hands. He still followed Quan Deyu's advice of "When encountering the king, he will be the king, and when encountering the king, he will be the king" and was ready to wait for the right time to play this card.

Now, let Lu Zhi stand in front and first implement it at a level of 50%, and then popularize the world after it matures.

The palace was once again filled with Lu Zhi's soft but clear Wu's official language.

Lu Zhi first said that the collection of two taxes over the years has not been constant and the people have heavy burdens, which has led to temporary changes or complete blockades in military and national affairs. The reason is that there is never a certain amount of tax in the world.

"When Yang Yan was carrying out two taxes, the country lost most of the taxes in the world in the war, and the state could only control the taxes at the state level. The county and township were completely unaware of them. Therefore, they could only use the year when the taxes were highest during the Dali period, and then the states added together to set a total tax amount. Then, each state would divide the waiting money (the taxes paid by the indigenous households and customers of each state according to the households and other households) and the hudog of rice (the standard was also formulated by the amount of green seedlings and the amount of land acres during the Dali period). This is an illegal power order. The nameless violent tax is only about making money, so how can the people's life and death?"

This is actually very serious.

The emperor on the throne looked a little unbearable.

After all, he issued an edict to implement the Two Tax Law, which means that I also have a responsibility.

In fact, Lu Zhi has always advocated the abolition of the Two Tax Law and returned to the rent-in-law regime in the early Tang Dynasty. He said that the reason why rent-in-law could not be implemented after the Anshi Rebellion was not the "disadvantage of law" but the "disadvantage of time". As long as the sage master can make up his mind, he can still restore the rent-in-law regime.

But Gao Yue understood that the tax system of the Two Tax Law is inevitable for historical development, and it is completely impossible to return to the medieval registrar in the Middle Ages. Although Lu Zhi was an excellent politician, his eyes could only see the past, but he could not break through the future situation. He could only see the disadvantages of the Two Tax Law, but he could not find a real solution. But for Gao Yue now, it is enough to point out the disadvantages.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi has begun to fiercely criticize the second major disadvantage of the two tax laws due to the lack of reasonable total tax amount.
