Fellow practitioners who live in this mortal world with their beauty

After deciding to draw the talisman, Zhao Sanbao closed the courtyard door and came to Sanqing Hall.

"Master Dao, are you out of seclusion?

"Remember to call me Taoist Master from now on, but don't call me Taoist Master old."

"Okay! Taoist priest!"

"You have been here for several days, and I still don't know your names?"

"The younger one is called Xiao Dezi, and the one who goes out to get food is called Xiao Shizi."

"Now you are Taoist boys of Sanbao Temple, you can no longer be called that."

"How about the Taoist priest give us a Taoist name?"

Zhao Sanbao lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"Your name is Qingfeng, let's call that one Mingyue!"

Then he took out two gold ingots and threw them to Qingfeng.

"From now on, all your expenses will be counted in the Taoist temple. You two should take care of your current accounts. If you don't have enough, you won't ask for it from this Taoist master."

"Thank you, Daoist!"

"From now on, the Taoist temple will cook alone and open a kitchen in the front yard. This will save us from running back and forth and the food will get cold. In addition, we will build a kitchen for my Taoist master."

Not long after, Mingyue came back after packing the food, and Zhao Sanbao and Tao Tong finished the meal together.

"In the Three Treasures Temple, I do not treat you unfairly. Now I will teach you a set of Taoist techniques. If you practice hard in the future, you will not say you are invincible, but at least you can strengthen your body."

If Xiao Xuanzi was here, these words would definitely sound familiar, and Master Nu Dao was deceiving people again!

Qingfeng Mingyue did not expect that Taoist Master Sanbao would take care of their food and teach them Taoist exercises, so she burst into tears of gratitude!

"Thank you so much, Taoist Master. The disciples will definitely practice diligently and live up to the Taoist Master's cultivation!"

Sanbao demonstrated it to them twice, and then gave them some instructions to go out and find Xiao Xuanzi.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Oh, my teacher reminds me of Wu Qin Xi. There are still a few moves I haven't taught you."

"Stop it, master! Look at my disciple's face. The swelling hasn't subsided yet?"

"You need to practice more in Wuqinxi. Master just came out of seclusion today. I will give you some pointers!"

"Oops! Master, please save some face for my disciple. I haven't faced you in the past two days."

"Tsk tsk! It's a pity!"

"Hmph! It's a pity that you didn't beat your disciple!"

"Ahem! Pointing! Pointing!"

"Why do I not believe it so much?"

"Do you believe it?" Zhao Sanbao said angrily: "Master hasn't eaten for several days, and you don't know how to get an imperial cook to go to the Taoist temple."

"Fat Lao Zhu, get in!"

"Greetings to the Emperor! Oh, Taoist Master is here. Say hello to the Taoist Master!"

Eunuch Zhu trotted away, breathing heavily.

"Hurry up and arrange a royal chef for the Taoist temple!" Xiao Xuanzi said with a smile to Zhao Sanbao: "Master, why don't you practice today? Why don't you go back and try your cooking skills?"

"Haha, okay! Wuqinxi is the most important inheritance of our sect, practice hard!"

"Come on, master, there are more Taoist masters of Wu Qin Xi than the Tao Te Ching Club!"

"What the master produces can be the same as theirs. This has been passed down by the master for thousands of years. It contains the improvements of the Taoist masters of the past generations."

"No, Master, why does it sound so familiar to me?"

Sound familiar? This Taoist master has said that he is familiar with it, but he came out again.

"Combining movement and stillness, training and nourishment are combined. Movements are in place, and breaths follow each other. Use reason and intention to show your charm!"

After Zhao Sanbao finished reciting the formula, he told Xiao Xuanzi.

"Master is a monk, and monks don't lie. This is the Wuqinxi practice formula. Remember the formula and practice well!"

"Ouch! Master, your disciple is hiding something secret." Xiao Xuanzi jumped up and said.

"This is the secret of cultivation. When you have time, go to the master and I will teach you the breathing technique again!"

"Master! Are you a cultivator of immortality? Teach your apprentice spells. Your apprentice has been smart since he was young..."

"Stop, I said it once!"

"Uh! My disciple has been extremely smart since he was a child!"

"If nothing happens in the past few days, go to my Taoist master and teach you Taoism!"

"Alas, affairs are busy. In recent years, the war has been chaotic. The surrounding countries have repeatedly invaded the border. The major forces in the country and even the princes and nobles are greedy and plunder the land. As a result, the people are in dire straits. The country's strength is gradually weakened. I can't sleep at night. .”

"Xiao Xuanzi, I don't understand the important affairs of the country. When dealing with corrupt officials, my master has one word for you, that is, be sure and ruthless!"

"Master, who taught you arithmetic?"

"Ahem! This is not important. You are responsible for ensuring the stability of the government. You must find the right time to deal with traitors, and you must be ruthless when you strike!"

"Thank you, Master, for your advice!"

Zhao Sanbao thought about the land policy in his previous life and asked: "Xiao Xuanzi, do you want to make the country rich and the people strong?"

"I want it! I have never dreamed of it!" Xiao Xuanzi jumped up excitedly.

"I also read this method of becoming a teacher from books. If it can be successfully promoted, the population will double, the country will be prosperous and the people are prosperous, and the army and horses will be strong. It is not an extravagant hope!"

"Master! If it really has this effect, my disciple will definitely succeed!"

"Abolish the labor force that has been imposed for thousands of years, that is, the poll tax!"

"Master, abolish the poll tax. Then the people will be rich, but the country will not receive any income."

"What are you in a hurry? Listen to me. I have to think about it. For thousands of years, taxes have been collected on a per-capita basis and people have to do corvee service. Although there is less land, the poor with more people should pay more. Princes, ministers and all forces Let’s use our privileges to hide our population. They have the most land, but with fewer people, they get less money, right?”

"Yeah! That's it!" Xiao Xuanzi nodded in agreement.

"How much tax money is there in a year now, and how much land is there? Tell me the number and I will give you some advice. It will definitely be no less than the current tax money."

"Master, this...this disciple really doesn't know?"

"Tsk, you don't know the two most important things in the country. What kind of emperor do you think you are?"

"Didn't my disciple just take charge of government?"

"You ascended the throne at the age of eight and are fourteen this year. You have spent the past seven years in vain!"

"I...can I take care of Oboi?" Xiao Xuanzi looked aggrieved; "Master, tell me your plan quickly!"

"Average the taxes collected last year to all the land in the country, and determine how much tax money to pay for one acre of land. The amount of tax payment is determined according to the number of acres of land. Those with more land will pay more, those with less land will pay less, and those without land will not pay. !” Zhao Sanbao said word by word: “In this way, you will get a lot of tax money every year, and the burden will be reduced for those with less land, which will help them do something else to make money to support their families.”

"Master, what should we do if we don't have land?"

"Those who don't have land, you didn't collect less tax money from them in the past years. If you don't charge them now, they will naturally live better than before!" Zhao Sanbao said with disdain: "Encourage reclamation, and you will not have to pay taxes on the reclamation land for five years. , in five years the state will pay more taxes.”

"Oh! Master! You are so awesome. Did you still generate income after all this?"

"More than that, since the government has no population tax, it can ignore the population and only seize the land. Those who have no land or little land can work and do business everywhere to make money. This will make them rich as well as the workshop leaders. The workshop leaders will expand their business, and there will be Farmers doing business pay an extra portion of commercial tax to the state.”

"Haha... Master, if you do this, your taxes will be doubled!"

"If you can continue to implement it, the master will guarantee that it will increase by at least five times in five years!"

"Such a good thing must be done!"

"You forgot whose hands most of the land belongs to!"

"What should we do, master?"

"Find a few princes and ministers who illegally occupy land and punish them with serious crimes, and then use this as an excuse to enforce it forcefully!"

"Master, don't worry! We are facing a national crisis, no matter how much pressure there is, we will definitely carry it out!"

"Remember one word! Steady, accurate and ruthless!"
