Chapter 109 North Court!(1/2)

Inside the Hall of Eternal Life.

The Minister of Revenue heard the emperor's question and his thoughts fluctuated. He respectfully said: "Report to Your Majesty, the land reform has indeed been hindered."

“Obstruction?”

Li Si looked at the Minister of Revenue, his expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected: "Tell me what obstacles are there?"

For Li Si, it is normal for land reform to encounter problems.

If the land reform is in progress, there is no obstacle from beginning to end, and the local families and border arthritis governors work meticulously, that would be abnormal.

This is equivalent to the other party actively stretching his neck over and leaning against Li Si's knife.

How could local families stand so stupid for dozens or hundreds of years?

Perhaps they would be afraid of the power of the Tang Empire and could only surrender with their noses, but they would never do anything.

Li Si is not worried about obstacles.

Li Si is concerned about who is hindering it?

Are there other people or other forces involved?

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Report to Your Majesty, you are the governor of Beiting."

There were a total of ten Jiedu governors in the Tang Dynasty.

It was these ten major military governors who guarded the borders of the Tang Dynasty and resisted the invasion of foreign tribes that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous.

But it was these ten major Jiedu governors, the cholera Tang Dynasty, and the Anshi Rebellion, which was the outbreak of the Jiedu governor problem.

The Tang Dynasty flourished by the Jiedu system, and the Jiedu system declined.

"Beiting Jiedushi?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Li Si's face.

Li Si did not expect that he would be the governor of Beiting.

Among the ten major military governors of the Tang Dynasty, the Beiting military governor was not the strongest, but not the weakest.

The Minister of Revenue continued: "Report to Your Majesty, the old minister sent people to Beiting back to report. Zhao Zheng, the seventh son of the governor of Beiting, heard that Your Majesty was preparing to collect taxes on a mu and let his subordinates drive the people of the court out of Beiting."

"And, Zhao Zheng once put down his words."

When the Minister of Revenue said this, he listened and looked at the emperor carefully.

"What did he say?"

Li Si looked a little chilled.

At this moment, he didn't know where he was, what Zhao Zheng said must be nothing good.

"Zhao Zheng said that if you want to collect taxes on a mu, let Your Majesty go to Beiting for negotiations in person."

As soon as the Minister of Revenue finished speaking, he knelt on the ground with a thud and did not dare to look up at the emperor.

"Let me go there in person?"

Li Siqi smiled.

Li Si never expected that Zhao Zheng, the seventh son of the governor of Beiting, would be so bold and openly provoke the imperial power!

No matter how powerful the border guards are, they are ministers after all.

As a minister, he spoke wildly and ignored etiquette, which was a ruthless act.

"It seems that Beiting does not need to exist anymore."

Li Si's voice was very light, but it made the Minister of Revenue's scalp numb.

"Is there anything else you have?"

Li Si looked to the Minister of Revenue and spoke.

The Minister of Revenue looked hesitant and gritted his teeth and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the old minister believes that it is inappropriate to cancel the checkpoint tax."

When the Minister of Revenue said these words, he was frightened.

The cancellation of the checkpoint tax was after all, an order issued by the emperor himself.

Now, the Minister of Revenue says these words is equivalent to questioning the emperor's orders

Previously, the Minister of Revenue was reminded by the Grand Marshal Yang Qinglin that he knew that the emperor would have a profound meaning when he did this.

But the Minister of Revenue really couldn't imagine what the deep meaning was.

"Report to Your Majesty, abolishing the checkpoint tax is equivalent to allowing business development. Once business develops, merchants make more money, and the people of our Tang Dynasty will inevitably abandon farmers and go to business. By then, our Tang Dynasty will face the problem of land abandonment."

The Minister of Revenue spoke.

"Your Majesty, the most fundamental part of my Tang Dynasty lies in food."

"If there is no food, even if business is prosperous, what's the use?"

The Minister of Revenue reads it very thoroughly.

He knew that the emperor canceled the checkpoint tax for commercial development.

However, if there is no food, any development will be rootless

Only when there is enough food in the treasury can the Tang Dynasty become more confident.

When Li Si heard these words from the Minister of Revenue, he randomly tapped the Dragon Case with his right hand and said, "Your dear, don't worry too much about this problem."

"Even if you don't mention this matter, I will issue a decree in a few days."

When Li Si said this, his eyes turned and fell on the Minister of Revenue: "Minister of Revenue, pass on my will."

"I will accept the order!"

The Minister of Revenue knelt on the ground with a thud and said loudly.

"Announce the world that those who have not cultivated fertile land for three years will belong to the court."

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the Minister of Revenue only felt a roar, and everything became clear.

Those who have not cultivated fertile land for three years shall belong to the court.

In this way, the problem of land abandonment will be solved.

After the land was in the hands of the court, it was distributable to the farmers who needed to farm. In this way, the land would never be abandoned from beginning to end.

The Minister of Revenue was very moved at this moment.

For him, the problem of land abandonment is an unsolvable problem. Even if he wants to break his mind, he can't think of a way to achieve both ways.

But in the eyes of the emperor, just one imperial edict was solved.

This is imperial power!

Be able to easily accomplish things that a person can never accomplish.

Afterwards, Li Si chatted with the Minister of Revenue.

"I'm leaving"

The Minister of Revenue left the Hall of Longevity.

Li Si sat upright on the dragon throne.

"Beiting?"

Li Si's mouth raised, and a hint of mockery appeared: "I want to see what inside information is there."

"Is it your Beiting Jiedushi Zhao Gong who is seeking death, or someone else wants to test me!"

Li Si sneered.

"Come, Xuan Cao Zhengchun!"

Longyou.

On the residence of the governor.

Wang Wulin, the governor of Longyou, walked slowly.

"General."

A man with a scribe looked like a man stepped forward and bowed and said.

Wang Wulin didn't even look at the other party, and said casually: "What's the matter?"

The literati said respectfully: "General, in Beiting, Zhao Zheng made harsh words and openly provoked the Emperor of Tang."

Since the Longyou Jiedushi can install people in the court, it can naturally also arrange hidden lines in other Jiedushi's mansions.

"oh?"

Wang Wulin was a little surprised: "These people are very brave."

As soon as Wang Wulin said this, the scholar beside him looked confused.

These people?
