Chapter 352: Reciprocity
The Tang Dynasty was in the Central Plains for many years and some disadvantages have already emerged. Hiding fields is one of them. This matter will inevitably cause shock in the court and will also touch the interests of many powerful people. However, it is also a method that has to be implemented. The earlier some lesions are removed, the better it can also increase the grain income in the court, and it can also reduce the burden on farmers. It is a best of both worlds. For the powerful people who privately conceal the fields, they are worms drinking the blood of the people. In addition, the old ministers in the court have withdrawn from the court one by one, it can be seen that the court has reached an old and changing situation, so that new officials can be cultivated.
The younger the officials are, the more they dare to do it, and the more they are motivated. After the imperial examination, there were many idle officials in the court. Now they have been put on hold and can be used. Take it out for a walk.
After having a specific concept of Fang Tian’s equal tax law, Li Er then asked, “Now let’s talk about your equal tax law.”
Gu Qing took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the previous one is targeting Nong, so what this one is right is Shang."
Shang? Li Er narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Qing. Gu Qing had been secretly promoting the flow of business over the years. In just a few years, the flow between Chang'an and Gu Qing's business became increasingly larger. This can be seen from the fact that Gu Qing and Changsun Wuji wrestled their wrestles. Fang Xuanling mentioned more than once that it was time to manage businessmen. At the beginning, Gu Qing and Changsun Wuji wrestled their wrestles but could not see anything. After letting them go for a while, Li Er found that Gu Qing's old acquaintance had broken the reins and the wild horses were running wildly.
"Your Majesty." Gu Qing continued, "The so-called equal-to-export method is simply eight words. It is cheap to move, and it is easy to be far away when it is used. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the surplus and shortage. People in different places have different abilities to buy things, and the prices of goods vary. This is restricted by merchants' acquisition of buying and selling. This is more detailed than what I said long ago. County governments in various places must send more personnel to control goods."
When it comes to Fang Tianjun Tax Law, Li can understand it, but he has a half-knowledge of this commercial law. If you move more, you will be cheap, and use the nearest and you will be far. Then he said, "Gu Qing, what you said cannot be achieved overnight."
"Your Majesty is right." Gu Qing looked up and continued, "Business tycoons will naturally appear under the prosperity of business!"
"Business tycoon?" Li Er smiled, "Gu Qing, are you talking about yourself?"
"Cough cough cough cough cough..." Gu Qing cleared his throat awkwardly, "Your Majesty, you're off topic."
"Actually, I can see it." Li Er looked over, "You will stare at the price of goods by those hungry merchants who do business with your factory. But what is the situation of merchants far away in Chang'an? What is the way of the business and what is the way of the transaction after a few moves? You are also in the dark."
"It's not that good." Gu Qing said with a smile, "If the price is transparent, the trading rules and prices that all regions should have will be much clearer after they are replaced, and they will be transferred to save labor costs, reduce heavy burdens, and loosen farmers. This is the equal-to-export method."
Li Er finally understood a general concept, but he still had to make a decision after discussions in the court.
"Did these two memorials really be made by Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu?" Li Ergu was suspicious.
"Yes." Gu Qing's face did not blush and his heart would not beat, and he looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
"Okay." Li Er nodded and said, "You retreat first. I tell them that they asked them to tell me about the Fangtian equal tax law and equal tax law."
"Ah?" Gu Qing looked up blankly, "Your Majesty, that...they two guys should be sick now."
"Hahaha..." Li Er's laughter was very cold, "Gu Qing, Gu Qing, why do you need to turn such a big turn if you want two people? Just tell me directly, you dare to deceive the emperor!?"
Gu Qing bowed and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, this is not the case. I just want to be polite and exchange politeness."
Seeing this boy acting like he was good at taking advantage of the situation, Li Er felt angry, "Get out!"
"Oh." Gu Qing retreated step by step.
Gu Qing left the Ganlu Palace and Li Er looked at the palace in front of him with empty eyes, as if he was doubting his life. After a long time, Li Er's breathing became more and more rapid, and he slapped the table and angrily smashed the things in front of him, "This bastard boy! It's simply outrageous! He actually..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Wang Qin hurriedly said when he saw Li Er about to throw his calligraphy and paintings, "Your Majesty, that's Wang Xizhi's..."
Li Er stopped and turned around and smashed a potted plant, "This bastard boy knows how to eat and die on weekdays! Even the good national policy is still a half-seller for me! One is Li Yi Mansion and the other is Xu Jingzong. He understands the two memorials and one by one. Is he and I also doing business?"
Wang Qin stood aside and did not dare to speak at all.
Three days later, news came from the court. Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong both entered the Shangshu Ling and became the Minister of the Shangshu Province. Gu Qing's two memorials caused a sensation in the court. Li Er had to summon Cen Wenben, Changsun Wuji, and Wei Zheng to discuss together.
All the talented people in the court were pulled up to discuss matters by Li Er. The court meeting lasted for a whole day from morning to dusk and did not dissipate. Until there was a little conclusion about this matter, Fang Xuanling drafted a specific chapter all night. Li Er felt inexplicably angry when he thought of the scene in the Ganlu Palace.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Empress Changsun saw Li Er's thoughts.
"Boy Gu Qing!" Li Er wanted to speak but stopped, then sighed.
"I have heard that Gu Qingxian's strategy has many opposing people in the court." Empress Changsun was worried.
"Guanyinbi, think about the fact that the tax law on clearing the land and acres is actually beneficial to farmers and the powerful. Why do some oppose it?" Li Er was worried. The more people opposed it, the more serious it was for the powerful and powerful to privately store the land and acres in Guanzhong.
"Your Majesty is really worried about who will do this." Empress Changsun poured tea for Li Er and said.
Li Er understands very well that his wife knows him very well and can see through his thoughts at a glance.
Empress Changsun continued, "There is a saying that it is easy to untie the bell, and the person who tied it, otherwise it is the same."
Li Er nodded with a smile.
Gu Qing was alone and fished. It was a good time to fish at dusk. Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong both came with a smile.
"You two are quite conscientious." Gu Qing looked at the motionless fishing line.
