Time Traveling: The Little Hou Ye is the Head of the House

"Aren't you the little God of Wealth? Why are you embarrassed?" Emperor Zhaoning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Li Luo shook his head again: "That's what everyone praised, the minister is not so good."

"Hello, I said you are good, you are good." Emperor Zhao Ning suddenly became serious, "If Li Xu has a spirit in heaven, he will be happy knowing that you are so good."

Every time Li Luo heard Emperor Zhaoning mention Li Xu, he always felt that Li Xu was Emperor Zhaoning's favorite.Of course, this is his own pleasure.A courtier who sacrificed for him, the Emperor always remembers deeply.

"You donated 90 catties of rice to Northwest, how can I thank you?" Emperor Zhaoning asked.

"It's 110 million catties." Li Luo emphasized, "There are 50 catties in the meritorious field. I just counted 30 catties to Tang Ling."

Emperor Zhaoning was taken aback for a moment, and then he was a little puzzled: "Why did you give Tang Ling 30 jin?"

"I'm not at a disadvantage, I'm promoting my meritorious service. The soldiers at the border have no food to eat, and the high-ranking officials in the capital can't run out of money." Li Luo replied.

This kid is really...

"Your Majesty, if you really want to thank me, you can exempt my family's tax." Li Luo suddenly thought, "I still have to pay more than 2000 taels of tax every year. The rice I donated to the Northwest Military Camp is worth it." Twenty thousand silver."

"Okay, I will inform you immediately." Emperor Zhao Ning spoke very well.

"Your Majesty, why is our treasury so poor?" Li Luo took a bite of food and asked curiously.

"Do you know where the money from the treasury comes from?" Emperor Zhaoning asked.

Li Luo shook his head. He was familiar with the laws of the dynasty, and he also knew the gossip of some officials' families, but the legal history books would not record where the treasury's money came from.

"First, it comes from land tax; second, it comes from population tax; third, it comes from various fines and house raids. Our country has 60 soldiers and horses, the Northwest Army has 60, and the Marquis of Renxiang has 900... 110 soldiers and horses a month Do you know how much food you need? 5 million catties of rice, the 60 million catties you took out is only one-ninth. If the court sends out eight more people like you, their food problem can be solved. Then It is the military salary, soldiers also need monthly money, and they also have to support their families, not to mention the high-ranking vanguard lieutenant generals, according to the 300 taels of silver a year for small soldiers, and [-] million taels of silver a year for [-]. The third use is the court, court officials The salary and the consumption of the palace all come from land tax and population tax.” According to Emperor Ning’s analysis to Li Luo one by one, “paying taxes according to the land and population is already the fairest way to collect taxes. Say, how can the country get rich again?"

"Officials, big and small, their monthly records are black holes that cannot be calculated clearly. There are also accounts borrowed by the Ministry of Households, which have not been recovered." Emperor Zhaoning said again, "Luo Er, remember these well." Remember. What to do in the future, Emperor Zhaoning didn't say anything.

"The borrowed money will be recovered first." Li Luo said.

"How to collect it? It's not that I haven't asked the Ministry of Household Affairs, but they said they can't take it back." Emperor Zhaoning said.

Li Luo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if the Secretary of the Household Department can't even do his job well, why should he be the Minister of the Household Department?"
