saints

then.

His Majesty Li Er, the first emperor of the ages, has a new idea.

He felt that he should continue to talk to Jiang Xiao, maybe he could get some useful national policies.

I don't know.

It also fits Jiang Que's heart.

Chapter 1039 National Policy

Li Er wants national policy.

Jiang Xiao also wanted to continue fooling around, maybe he could fool His Majesty Li Er into limping.

Only when Li Er is limping can he carry out the next plan.

tunnel.

Jiang Que said again: "Governing a big country is like a small cook. Although I don't know how to manage power and people, I know that a country needs a lot of things to become rich and strong.

It just so happens that these years of overseas experience have given me some insight. If Your Majesty finds it useful, you can listen to it. "

Li Er naturally couldn't wish for it.

He was thinking about how to get Jiang Xiao to speak, when Jiang Xiao came.

then.

Li Er smiled expectantly, "Really, please tell me, but I will compare the right and wrong one by one, and pick the best to fill in the gaps."

As long as it is beneficial to the country, he will adopt it.

"Ah."

Jiang Que nodded in satisfaction, Li Er is a wise gentleman, and he would definitely not miss such an opportunity.

It was precisely by grasping this mentality that Jiang Xiao knew that he had room to express himself.

To be fooled...

No.

It is Xiaozhi who moves with emotion and reason.

His Majesty Li Er must feel that every sentence is a classic saying of governing the country.

He will definitely be treated respectfully.

Jiang Xiao had already figured it out, bragging about all the usual strategies, in the ancient Tang Dynasty where productivity was extremely backward, he would definitely fool Li Er.

After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Xiao said eloquently: "If you want to make a country strong, you need money and soldiers.

Datang's Bingfeng is indeed good under His Majesty's governance, but this is not enough, it should become stronger.

In addition, the people need to be rich, so that a country can have money and taxes, and then can do more things.

However, His Majesty understands these principles, and the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people cannot be changed overnight.

These strategies can be summed up in two words: make money..."

After hearing Jiang Que's words, His Majesty Li Er always felt weird, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, making money is done by merchants, besides, I am a majestic emperor, if I am a businessman, I am fighting for the interests of the people.

Besides, since ancient times, the common people have been mainly farming, which is the foundation of life and the cornerstone of the country. "

Li Er didn't understand Jiang Que's words, what good is there in competing for profit with the people.

He didn't see it.

Jiang Que's head was full of black lines, and he couldn't help sneering: "I thought His Majesty was an emperor through the ages, a respectable emperor, but I didn't expect it to be so limited.

If there is no businessman in the world, dare to ask how this country works?

Where does money and food come from?

Do you rely on Your Majesty to transport it yourself, or rely on your troops who are going to fight the enemy?

Farming by the common people is a solid foundation, but do you think that a country’s tax revenue depends entirely on the contributions of those farmers, how much can it have?

Since ancient times, slash-and-burn farming has been practiced, why doesn't His Majesty let the people try the model thousands of years ago?

Whether a model is good or bad requires continuous practice and continuous improvement. Keeping pace with the times is the foundation of a country's progress.

Now, Your Majesty, you are willing to stick to the old rules. Decades or even hundreds of years later, your descendants will also stick to the old rules. Do you think this country is standing still or moving forward? "

Li Er: "..."

If it was an ordinary courtier, how dare he talk to Li Er like this.

That is to say, Jiang Xiao's few words, scolded the emperor through the ages without any refutation.

He opened his mouth to refute, wanted to explain a few words, but he couldn't say anything.

What Jiang Xiao proposed was too fresh, too unimaginable, and even more subversive.

Li Er couldn't accept it at half past one.

But right after, Jiang Xiao said again: "I know Your Majesty may not believe it, but that's the truth.

To vigorously develop commerce, His Majesty can take the opportunity to collect commercial tax. You can study the specific method of collection in detail.

It must be implemented vigorously and guaranteed by the soldiers in hand. After the business tax comes up, the national treasury will inevitably be filled. At that time, whether it is a foreign war or a reserve of grain and grass, it will be beneficial to the country.

As for obstacles, there will definitely be obstacles, but if you think about it from another angle, your Majesty, as long as the tax revenue is good, if one year is comparable to the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty for several years now, how would you feel, Your Majesty?

If His Majesty is more benevolent and reduces or lowers the taxes of ordinary farming people, this is the real non-competition with the people.

If commerce is developed enough, one person can support a family for several years by engaging in commerce for a year. Does Your Majesty think land is still important?

As for food, when I traveled around the world with Master, I found paddy rice that crops twice a year or even three times a year in small countries in the south, as well as upland rice, as well as the drought-tolerant and high-yielding crops mentioned earlier.

If His Majesty introduces these, it will be enough to make Datang not lack of food.

In addition, the small countries in the south who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty can use food as tribute, open up merchants and trade, open border markets, naturally there will be no shortage of food, and they can also get a batch of new taxes—tariffs..."

As Jiang Xiao's explanation continued to deepen, it seemed as if a new door had been opened for His Majesty Li Er.

This is a field he has never understood, so he was naturally taken aback by Jiang Xiao's national policy.

That's right.

Even Li Er has to admit that only when a country is rich can he do more.

Even pro-conquered Turks.

His Majesty Li Er was humiliated by the Weishui alliance back then. If he had money and food, he wouldn't have been aggrieved for so many years.

Think about it.

Li Er then asked: "My real man, is it possible for the strategies you mentioned to be implemented?"

"Whether it's up to me or not."

Jiang Que said: "The world belongs to all the people, but in the final analysis it belongs to you, Your Majesty, and you have the final say on how to govern it. Whether the new policy can be implemented in reality is actually related to whether you persist or not.

I only offer strategies, and besides, I am only a monk outside the party and will not participate in it.

Whether to implement it or not depends on Your Majesty yourself, which also tests your courage.

In addition, if Your Majesty finds it difficult to implement it on a large scale, you can implement it on a pilot basis first, and if the effect is satisfactory, it can be implemented nationwide. "

"That's okay." Li Er nodded, agreeing: "It's just that you don't know about real people. Although the Tang Dynasty is peaceful now, in fact, the five surnames and seven wangs control the people. It may be more difficult to implement, and the reform is even more difficult. "

Li Er also felt bitter about this.

Although I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, even though I rule the world, the reality is quite cruel.

He has no real control, and he is very depressed. If possible, maybe...

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said: "It's okay, if Your Majesty really wants to carry out the strategies I just mentioned, I will naturally help you with suggestions, and I will definitely not let you down."

"Ok?"

Li Er was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he hurriedly said: "My real man, are you really willing to help me?"

If so that would be great.

He was overjoyed, and continued: "The world has been in chaos for a long time, and the real man has a gap in his heart, why don't you stay and help me, I will definitely give the real man a good treatment..."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Que shook his head and sighed softly, "Hehe, Your Majesty has good intentions, but I am a monk from Fangwai, and I have no interest in becoming an official in the court, nor do I plan to be an official.

Ordinary things are like a passing cloud to me, so there is no other use. If your majesty wants to make someone an official or a noble, let it be forgotten. "

"..."

Li Er was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "The real person, whether he is an official or a noble, is actually making a contribution to the Great Tang.

I will never treat a real person badly..."

Before His Majesty Li Er could finish speaking, Jiang Xiao explained: "I'm sorry, it's useless to me to contribute or not to contribute, and I'm telling His Majesty this time only for the sake of His Majesty being a real dragon emperor, otherwise Wouldn't it be better for me to go out to travel and practice?"

He is a cultivator of immortals, so how could the court dispute suit him.

It is impossible to be an official, and you will never be an official in this life.

Nobility or anything has nothing to do with him.

of course.

It's different to pardon the national teacher.

But this kind of thing can't be said directly, otherwise Li Erbao will suspect that he has ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao continued to speak: "Hehe, Your Majesty don't need to worry too much. Although it is impossible for you to become an official in the court, if Your Majesty needs my help, I will still do so."

Although Jiang Chi didn't agree, Li Er still nodded when he heard the promise, "If that's the case, then I will thank the real person first."

Li Er yearned for the future life, and he was looking forward to the strategies Jiang Que mentioned.

The mood is settled.

Immediately.

His Majesty Li Er said again: "Really, the national policies you just mentioned are good, and if they can be implemented, they are indeed good.

But it’s very difficult to implement it in practice…”

He was helpless.

Li Er's mood became complicated.

Jiang Que comforted him and said: "Your Majesty don't have to worry, people are actually afraid of death, and His Majesty has countless soldiers in his hands. If anyone dares to stop him, he will be killed without mercy. If he kills that person's head rolling, who will dare to offend?" , Violation?"

He, Jiang, believed in one word: kill.

Just kill it.

See how you resist, holding a blade is no joke.

Li Er: "..."

Jiang Xiao's words made him startled, and he couldn't help saying: "I'm afraid the real person thinks too simply, he can be killed in order to conquer the world, but he cannot be killed in governing the world."

amount.

Jiang Chi secretly supported his forehead, and said: "If you block the way, you are the enemy. Your Majesty can be so magnanimous towards the enemy. I admire you."

Li Er: "This..."

He sighed faintly, he was really unable to refute what Jiang Chi had said.

Indeed it is.

He felt very sad, he should be more ruthless in dealing with the enemy, and should not be honest and tolerant.

but……

It's different now.

The world is already peaceful, and there is no need for him to kill.

Li Er is also very worried about this, killing can really suppress everything?
