Yao Chong did not go to Pei Yaoqing to ask about the security incidents in Chang'an City, but he could feel that there were no major problems in the past few nights.
"It's not bad." He replied to Li Longji.
"Because everyone has money and has money-making jobs, they can't spare time to do evil, and there's no need to rob."
Li Longji told Yao Chong the reason: people's lives are in chaos only when their lives are not good.
"It has something to do with collecting business taxes?" Yao Chong couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Collecting business taxes is like recruiting workers from the imperial court and giving them money. If I don't have money, what can I do? This is called infrastructure construction and public utilities.
Create more jobs, use tax money to provide convenience to the people, build roads and bridges, and make transportation better.
Allocate funds to Beitianfang so that more people can be in good health and work more, so that production can promote social development and improve the overall national strength. "
Li Longji told Yao Chong, and Yao Chong was stunned for a while.
"Did your Majesty hear this from Li Yi?" Yao Chong swallowed and asked.
"Don't I have to think for myself?" Li Longji asked.
"Yes! Your Majesty has the country at heart." Yao Chong knew how to answer.
"My relatives have been sent out to do experiments in several places. I won't ask them to come back during the Chinese New Year. I'm anxious and want to collect the money now, otherwise the curfew will be in vain."
Li Longji told Yao Chong that he went to the Five Princes' Mansion to ask the King of Song.
Don't ask about the other four, they have not been baptized by 'advanced thinking'.
The team arrived at the place and went in. The six of them ate and drank with Yao Chong, trying various ideas, but none of them seemed to work.
"Third brother, the city gate will open early tomorrow morning. I'll go." Li Chengqi didn't want to worry about it anymore, so it was better to relax and drink.
Everyone knew where he was going, and Yao Chong was in a bad mood.
I even hope that there will be no gain after King Song goes there. What if Li Yi can't think of a way, right?
Quite exciting.
While eating, Yao Chong realized that he had suffered a loss and couldn't eat anymore. After eating the dumplings, he went out for a walk. There were a lot of vegetables...
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the sky was dark and the city gates were opened, Li Chengqi led his team and rushed out on horseback.
Before noon, he came back in the Li family's luxurious four-wheeled carriage and entered the imperial city. When he arrived at the palace gate, a dining car was pushed out of the carriage.
Push the dining cart into Xingqing Hall.
In the palace, Li Longji asked the three prime ministers and Pei Yaoqing to find ways to find people to see doctors, find patients, and send people from the Imperial Medical Office out.
"The King of Song is back?" Yao Chong felt a little nervous in his heart. Did he ask?
"Xiang Yao will give you some fish to eat at noon. They are cold small fish and small white fish that are as long as a handful. Yesterday, someone caught too many fish in one net. I wanted to throw them away, but Li Yi took them away."
Li Chengqi looked businesslike and called Li Yi Li Yi.
He opened the lid of the big iron pot and found fish and fish jelly inside.
"Why isn't it hot enough to eat?" Zhang said, coming over to take a look.
"Brother Yi said that this fish doesn't taste good, and it takes a lot of effort to remove the spines, so it needs to be stewed for a while. However, after being stewed for a long time, it broke into pieces and couldn't be filled out.
So I had to let it cool before serving it. The spines became crispy and the flavor was absorbed. There were a lot of ginger slices in it. I could eat the ginger while eating the fish, so I wouldn't be afraid of getting cold in my stomach. "
Li Chengqi changed his title again and swallowed his saliva as he spoke.
Others also lied, looking at the color of the sauce in the pot, they would have an appetite.
"King Song, have you asked about tax collection?" Yao Chong was anxious.
"I asked, and Brother Yi said it's easy to do, but collecting taxes won't work and will arouse opposition from a group of people. But we can charge." Li Chengqi looked at Yao Chong and said.
"Is there any difference between the two?" Yao Chong was confused again.
"We charge a night management fee. We won't do anything during the day. The curfew is lifted. We sell things at night and pay a part of the money. The ice lanterns illuminate it at night. Isn't that money?
Wait until everyone gets used to paying money at night, and then make more money. Just charge sanitation fees during the day and sweep the streets for nothing? Who cleans up those messy things in the East and West Markets? "
Li Chengqi asked Yao Chong continuously.
Yao Chong kept nodding, but he always felt that something was wrong.
He thought for a moment: "Should we also collect money from other shops? They also walk on the streets."
"That won't work. Brother Yi said that people's livelihood is not easy, and property fees cannot be added to it. However, if a wealthy family wants other services, they can charge a fixed repair fee."
Li Chengqi said as if you can't do it but I can do it.
"Property fee? He, he has thought of such words? Your Majesty, if Li Yi is an official, he must be an official who harms the people."
Yao Chong couldn't help it. He collected money so casually and asked you to be a magistrate. Oh my God!
Li Longji put down his hand: "When it comes to fees, the management fees for curfew transactions should be collected first, and any extra money earned will be shared with the court."
Li Longji didn't want to mention the issue of official status. Once he became a local magistrate, it would be too far to find him.
Even if you choose one of the twenty-two counties in Jingzhao Prefecture, it won't work, except Chang'an County.
It's better to stay in Zhuangzi. You can go there at any time. You can take a carriage and you'll be there in a short time.
In summer, the roads from Zhuangzi to Tonghua Gate and Chunming Gate are all made of cement, which is clean and smooth.
The only drawback is that it costs horseshoes, which costs money for the cattle drive.
This is also very fast when it comes to the wear and tear of other people's horses and oxen iron paws.
"Yi...did he talk about other things?" Li Longji felt relieved. If he had known that he would not have wasted his energy yesterday, he would have just asked.
"I talked about last night's discussion about giving Yi brother a hundred more veterans. Yi brother said that he wanted to use a six-hundred-mile express to deliver New Year's gifts to those people.
A person who reports urgently pays 20 cents for express delivery. Yes, express delivery. Brother Yi calls this express delivery, and he is willing to pay more. "
Li Chengqi has a new term.
"I object." Yao Chong said: "This has been the past and it is urgent to scrap it."
"What Yao Qing said is true. Urgent reports should not be taken lightly." Li Longji nodded to Yao Chong.
Yao Chong looked at Li Chengqi proudly.
"Therefore, I sent the Yulin Flying Cavalry, five hundred of them, one man and three horses, to train for long-distance raids." Li Longji added.
Li Chengqi didn't even look at Yao Chong. He was so stupid, weren't he?
Yao Chong opened his mouth and chose to remain silent.
The Yulin Feiqi has nothing to do with him, it is His Majesty's private soldier.
At noon, five hundred Yulin flying cavalry ran to Zhuangzi.
"Ah, it's you? Long time no see, His Majesty asked you to come over to play again?" Li Yi said hello very happily.
The five men all trembled and turned pale.
"I'll come over and take over for Liubaili to rush." The battalion commander who led the team took a deep breath and said to Li Yi.
"Five hundred people? Great, I can bring more things. I will always keep the dividends from heaven and earth. What do you... want to take home with you?"
Li Yi planned to use the dividends from heaven and earth to give money, otherwise the money could not be given directly to Li Longji.
"Everything is fine at home, I don't want any money." The battalion commander refused.
"Well, I'll use the money to make some individual soldier rations for you to celebrate the New Year." Li Yi changed the conditions.
He plans to make tin foil self-heating individual soldier rations without using aluminum. Aluminum requires electrolysis, and there is no aluminum now.
Now there is tin foil, UU reading www. uukanshu. nt is used as jewelry and decorations.
Compressed biscuits can also be packaged in tin foil to prevent moisture.
The disadvantage is that if the weather is too cold, the tin foil will peel off, such as if it is more than minus 30 degrees for a long time. This process accelerates as the temperature decreases.
"Proprietor, thank you for your trouble." The battalion commander did not refuse this time. He knew that Li Yi always had good things here.
"You have many people and horses, so bring more food with you and eat for yourself on the way. It's more than two days' journey." Li Yi said and asked Song De to prepare.
Send New Year's gifts to those hundred military households and their families who have not met yet. Don't wait to come to Zhuangzi after the New Year and say how many died during the New Year.
