Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

In fact, unless there is a major war, Li Erlian does not have the right to ask about the internal situation of the treasury.

In other words, the money in the treasury has nothing to do with him.

This is all real money taken out of his own pocket!

Li Er twitched in distress.

He laughed a few times, and said: "Six pumps and one tax are really unfair to the merchants, why don't we change it?"

No one dared to speak.

The meaning of what Li Er said was that he wanted someone to take the blame!

Whoever dares to speak will bear the spittle of the civil and military courts!

The emperor cannot afford to modify the tax rate for his own business!

Hearing that the tax rate was going to be changed, Liu Bai's eyes lit up.

One tax per six is ​​really nonsense.

If you can take advantage of the situation and change it, how much money can you save in the future?

In the past few years, the court's finances were tight, so Liu Bai didn't say anything.

Now there are so many gold and silver treasures in the national treasury and the internal treasury that it is almost impossible to put them down. Pay so much tax and wait to feed the rats?

"Your Majesty, it may not be impossible!"

Li Er seemed to be grasping at a straw, and said, "Give me a warning!"

He didn't care about face anymore.

In front of Yinzi, face is not even a fart.

In consideration of face, it's just that the money is not in place.

Liu Bai had already done enough homework to revise the tax rate.

From the heart, he was indeed trying to save some money.

But from an axiomatic point of view, there are indeed disadvantages if the tax rate is too high.

It is true that silver can produce silver, but the amount of silver produced is limited.

Under the ebb and flow, the richer the central government's finances, the tighter the local governments will be.

Productivity is hidden in the folk, and if you want to develop productivity, you must increase the enthusiasm of the folk infinitely.

Judging from the current sales volume, Datang's supply of goods will enter a state of shortage in a few days.

And if the tax rate is high, it will seriously suppress the enthusiasm for production.

To put it bluntly, only by lowering the tax rate can the supply of goods be guaranteed.

Liu Bai said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, Liu Bai has a win-win solution, we should have a good chat."

Li Er nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes, let's find a place to have a good chat!"

Others also joined in.

"Yes, we should have a good chat!"

Nobody wants their hard-earned money to go to waste.

They are all stakeholders, they can save money, and the common people can reap benefits, so why not do it?

In just a few words, everyone reached a consensus.

One shot at a slant, and the horse will go away!

Fang Xuanling suggested that Tianxiang Building is just across the street.

Cheng Yaojin took out his shopping card and picked a few bottles of 'Master Li' from the shelf.

A group of people "hula-la" rushed out, and soon came to Tianxiang Tower.

Li Er asked Liu Jin to take the Jinwu Guard to stand guard at the gate of Tianxiang Tower.

"Clear the venue, no one is allowed to enter, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy!"

Chapter 842 Isn't it just to change the tax rate?What are you crying for?

The court meeting was held the day before yesterday.

Therefore, officials in the DPRK and China are very idle today.

Some yamen even put a big holiday directly.

But for some yamen, Xiu Mu is a delusion.

If they don't work, the entire Tang Dynasty will be paralyzed.

Even during the Chinese New Year and holidays, someone must stick to the front line.

This Yamen is the Ministry of Civil Affairs!

The Ministry of Civil Affairs has one minister, with the official title of the third rank, and two assistant ministers, with the official title of the fourth rank.

Further down, there are inspectors and principals.

It is a very troublesome thing to be the head of the six films.

There are too many things to count.

During Chinese New Year and festivals, the imperial court has to hold celebrations, officials have to give rewards, the army has to pay money, and folks have more miscellaneous income and expenses!

Especially Du Zhisi's main job is not a job done by humans.

Miscalculating an account, overcharging a sum of money, and underpaying half a penny, are all major events that will cause the sky to fall.

Li Congdao, the head of the Duzhi Division of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is a newly promoted local official.

From the former Sui Dynasty to the present, more than ten years have passed, and step by step, local pawns have become the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Li Congdao can be described as conscientious, like walking on thin ice.

The predecessor, the former predecessor, the former predecessor, and dozens of people, all died unexpectedly.

Either, commit suicide in fear of crime, or die in exile.

In short, this is a very dangerous profession.

If you don't pay attention, you may be punished by three or four clans.

The money bag of the imperial court is not so easy to manage.

Especially after Shang Shupu shot Changsun Wuji into prison, Li Congdao's life was even more difficult.

Worrying all the time, I was also caught.

Chen Shuda, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who took office last year, is a good old man.

Not standing in line, not clinging, he was regarded as a rare fringe figure among the third-rank ministers.

As a result, no matter what the crime is, the higher-ups cannot bear it, and Li Congdao is responsible for everything.

After half a year, after a rare rest, Li Congdao had a good night's sleep at his home in Guixingfang.

I plan to go boating on the Dongyang River and have tea.

This is his rare pastime.

However, as soon as he sat in the carriage and was about to leave the city, he was stopped by someone.

Li Congdao lifted the curtain irritably, and his face changed drastically when he saw the people outside!

He crawled out and said, "I've seen Eunuch Liu!"

Liu Jinpi smiled and said, "Where is Master Li going?"

"The next official, the next official, is taking a rest today, so I want to go out of the city to have fun"

Having been an official for many years, he knows very well that words are not important, but actions are important.

So, while talking, he gritted his teeth, pulled off the ancestral jade pendant from his waist, and put it in Liu Jin's hands without anyone noticing it.

Liu Jin did not hide anyone's back, and weighed the jade pendant in his hand, with a strong sense of contempt in his eyes.

"Poor and sour!"

In his heart, he gave Li Congdao a two-word comment.

The material of this jade pendant is not bad, but unfortunately it is too small, if it is placed on the market, it can be sold for hundreds of pendants at most.

He went to other officials' houses to announce the decree, who wouldn't send thousands of things?

"It seems that Mr. Li is in a good mood."

Li Congdao laughed and said, "Thanks to Eunuch Liu for taking care of me!"

Liu Jin's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Your Xiu Mu is gone, let's go with the miscellaneous family!"

boom!

Li Congdao fell on his head and murmured: "I knew it, I knew it would be such a day"

Liu Jin was taken aback, but he didn't expect such a big reaction.

At first, it was just to scare him.

As the chief steward in the real sense of the palace, Liu Jin had long stopped paying attention to officials below the fourth rank.

He didn't know that Li Congdao used to be the eldest grandson Wuji's man.

Li Congdao got up from the ground, and said with a sad face: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, can I give the next official a chance to say goodbye to my family?"

"bid farewell?"

Only then did Liu Jin realize that the co-author thought that she was going to take him to prison.

"Not so much work!"

Liu Jin was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with this boring person.

Greet a few Jinwu guards, cross Li Congdao and leave.

Tianxiang Building, private room on the second floor.

Li Congdao's face was pale, trembling like chaff.

He already knew that Liu Jin didn't come to kill him.

However, it was even more frightening.

Because, right now, there are several pairs of eyes staring straight at him.

It looked like he was going to swallow himself alive.

Especially, when he saw the excited look in Li Er's eyes, he suddenly felt his butt tighten.

"Li Cong said."

Li Er called out.

"Chen is here!"

Li Congdao knelt on the ground with a 'plop'.

His tears fell down involuntarily.

"Dead! Dead!"

He growled inwardly.

Li Er was taken aback.

Isn't that just changing the tax rate?

What are you crying for?

The others were also dumbfounded.

Fang Xuanling sighed with emotion, and said: "Master Li loves the people like a son, and he must be worried that the people in the world don't have enough money."

Du Ruhui nodded approvingly.
