"At first, we planned to take over a village, then Chang'an, then Jingzhao, and then Dongjing, and even the nearby states."
In Xingqing Palace, four prime ministers, plus the people in the group, were all there.
As the New Year was approaching, Li Longji talked about things and how to have a good New Year.
He was talking about Li Yi, who changed every year and worked very hard.
From the beginning, he improved the living standards of the people in the village, to now, the income of the people in Luoyang, the eastern capital, Chang'an, the western capital, and the surrounding states has increased several times.
The living standards of the people in other parts of the Tang Dynasty have also improved a lot due to the new technologies in all aspects.
"Especially at the border." Yao Chong, who always wanted to suppress Li Yi, finally spoke his mind.
He has become a supporter of Li Yi, because he has gone down and joined the group, and he doesn't need to fight for power anymore.
Whether Li Yi is doing well or not, as long as his heart is not blind, he will know, and he is not afraid of blindness.
Yao Chong was in charge of military affairs, and when he was dealing with foreign affairs, he did not make any major achievements, nor did he make any major omissions.
He wanted to say that the court had no money when he was prime minister, so he couldn't blame himself.
He couldn't say it now. Li Yi was operating. Look at what the border was like?
He just beat whoever he caught, and very few people died.
Do you have money? Yes! Where did the money come from? Don't mention it!
Yao Chong was convinced that he didn't have the same ability.
The front occupied such a large territory, and the logistics were endless, but the court finances had to find ways to spend money.
Yao Chong sometimes thought about it and felt quite lost.
He once thought that he was a prime minister, and later he served as a prime minister several times.
He also thought that he was a talent for stabilizing the country, and he did do some things.
When he met Li Yi, my God! How can there be such a person in the world? God, what do you want to do?
Yao Chong thought about it and said, "Confer another county lord?"
"No!" Song Jing was alert and objected. I am currently a prime minister.
"If Yidi doesn't want it, then I won't give it to him." Li Longji supports Song Jing. It doesn't matter whether he is a county duke or not.
How much benefit can a county duke get? Can the child inherit? And get an additional salary?
If Yidi has a child, no, he should be called a son-in-law at that time. If he has a child, he doesn't need to seize the throne. He can give him whatever he wants. Who can still wrong the child?
"Your Majesty, please give me some dried seafood. My child wants to eat it."
Liu Youqiu asked for something. If he wanted to eat seafood, dried seafood would be fine. He could go home and soak it himself.
"Give it! All kinds of dried seafood for one family, take back ten kilograms, and don't miss the social activities you should have." Li Longji became generous with money.
It's just things from the sea. Yes, there are living things.
Lu Huaishen's family has no shortage of things, and he even gets dividends from the cooperation.
He was concerned about the soldiers at the source of the Yellow River: "Your Majesty, is there enough food at Sister Lake for the New Year?"
"Enough!" Li Longji nodded gently: "A lot will be sent before the New Year, which is more than ten times better than the treatment of the Hexi Jiedushi and other places in the past."
"This is reassuring to me." Lu Huaishen clasped his fists.
As a prime minister, he actually has a strong heart, but he knows how to give in and retreat for the Tang Dynasty.
So Li Yi's attitude towards him is completely different from that towards Yao Chong. Yao Chong has ability, but his personal morality is poor.
Yao Chong's children accepted bribes, embezzled, actively interfered with the discipline and administration of other prime ministers, and protected people who were bribed by foreign intelligence personnel.
The key is that Yao Chong not only knew about it, but also suppressed the prime ministers of the same dynasty who did not give his son face, and cooperated to protect officials who were bribed by foreign countries.
If Yao Chong had not been useful, Li Yi would have wanted to kill his entire clan.
This is equivalent to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the People's Bank of China, who is also the prime minister, going to the local area to investigate corrupt officials.
Then the son of another prime minister not only embezzled and accepted bribes, but also told the prime minister not to investigate some people.
The prime minister did the investigation, and came back to tell His Majesty, you see, I did this for the country.
I offended that prime minister, I can't do anything.
Then the prime minister relied on His Majesty's ability to counter-sue, saying that the prime minister who was investigated was promoted by me, and I didn't know what to do, I was wrong.
This is called threatening, threatening His Majesty.
His Majesty had to get rid of the other prime minister, but in the end, the prime minister whose son had a big problem, interceded for a subordinate who was lured by foreign spies.
He could intercede for selling out the country? He thought he could. Unfortunately, Li Longji said no at this time, you can go down.
How could ordinary people know that the court was like this, but Li Yi knew it very well.
Wei Zhigu survived, Lu Huaishen did not die, and Yao Chong's son Li Yi saved him in exchange for Yao Chong giving in.
"Your Majesty, the number of royal children is increasing. If they don't pay taxes, they may be dependent on others."
Bi Gou didn't think about anything else. He was staring at the money.
No one paid taxes before. Now the two capitals have started to collect taxes. People in the royal family don't pay, such as Princess Yongmu.
Then there is a possibility, or it is inevitable.
Someone who does business should pay 10%, 20%, or 30% tax, depending on the goods.
For example, someone who should pay 20% tax finds a member of the royal family and registers the business with him.
Giving 10% of the money to the royal family member means earning 10%.
The court lost 20%, and others saw it and promised to find a way to find the royal family to exempt taxes.
What to do in this situation? The court can't afford it.
This year, everyone didn't react. The tax was too sudden, especially Henan Prefecture in Luoyang.
Next year, others will understand, and the court will suffer a loss.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Li Longji frowned slightly after listening, then relaxed and asked about politics.
The worst of you are now and in the past are all ministers of several departments, and the others have all been prime ministers. Speak, I believe you.
A group of people looked at each other, what to do?
"Su Qing?" Li Longji called Su Yan.
"I think that anyone who does not consider the soldiers and provide the best support should be severely punished." Su Yan said something ambiguous.
He said soldiers, which can be understood as asking others to donate money, or giving benefits to soldiers in finance and administration.
He did not mention the royal family, avoiding it, so sensitive.
"Zhang Qing?" Li Longji asked Zhang Jiuling.
"The need for maritime trade cannot be stopped, and tariffs have their own reasons. Convince people with reason."
Zhang Jiuling followed Tai Chi, this line is not easy to touch, the border is a 30% tax.
"Song Qing?" Li Longji looked at Song Jing.
"Officials and members of the royal family should not refrain from doing good deeds or small evil deeds. They should be restrained by virtue and controlled by assessment."
Song Jing was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites. He had no choice but to talk about these two departments without mentioning specific matters.
Before Li Longji asked again, Bi Gou took the initiative to speak. Three of the four prime ministers were asked, and he was the only one left.
"I have worries in my heart, and I have concerns about the difficult problems. I suggest that we go to Lijiazhuangzi and ask Xiao Yi. He should have a good plan for it."
Bi Gou's face did not blush at all. He was very direct. He said, don't ask me, go ask Li Yi, he knows.
"What about the rest of you?" Li Longji looked calm.
"I second the motion!" A group of officials said the same thing, which was not an ordinary tacit understanding.
"So I am not worried." Li Longji was in a good mood. Look, I value my brother Yi. You have said a lot of bad things behind his back. What about now?
