On the way back, Li Zhi couldn't help but sneer.
This time it was not in vain, 10% of the wealth was mixed. Li Shimin had only 20% in the past, and the annual income to the treasury was considerable.
Li Zhi roughly calculated that Li Yunxiao's 10% income was enough to offset the 2-3% of the taxes paid by the people every year.
This three percent is not a small amount. Considering the current level of prosperity, it is enough for a small country to live with enough food and clothing for several months!
But not long after he walked out of the door, he was stunned when he was feeling happy. He suddenly realized that after working for a long time, he couldn't get anything done, and he was even ordered to do two things...
Li Zhi couldn't help but think: "Oh, this old guy is too good at it..."
Everyone knows that guns are easy to dodge but hidden arrows are hard to guard against, but this 10% profit made him forget about coming here.
"Father, the Imperial Master is so fierce." Li Hong suddenly said while grabbing Li Zhi's palm.
He felt that although Li Yunxiao had a slight smile on his face, he had an aura that scared him, so he remained silent except for the first sentence.
Li Zhi touched his head: "False or not, he is our Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty. If you see him in the future, don't forget to be respectful. He will not treat you badly."
"oh."
When Wu Zhao saw the two coming down, he stepped forward to pick up Li Hong, touched his nose teasingly, and then looked at Li Zhi.
"The Imperial Master probably refused."
Li Zhi nodded, then blushed slightly and said, "Not only did he refuse, but he also asked me to do something for him."
"puff!"
Wu Zhao sneered: "You said you would take me up, but you refused to let me go. Maybe I can convince the Imperial Master."
Li Zhi thought about it and forgot about it. That residence was very important to a few people, and Li Yunxiao had explicitly prohibited outsiders from going there, especially Wu Zhao. It would not be good if the relationship broke down.
"Okay, let's go and find another teacher for Hong'er."
....
A few days later, as Li Zhi issued an edict, hundreds of people in the Fan Kingdom were shocked.
One is shocked that if you learn the Chinese language, you can buy things at a discount. The other is shocked that the Japanese country is so unlucky that you can no longer buy things at the same price, but at double the price.
Nowadays, almost all the most common foods, vegetables, are brought back from outside and grown extensively by Li Yunxiao. After so many years, everyone has become accustomed to eating them.
And more are some agricultural tools.
Now wherever you go, you can almost see things related to Li Yunxiao for sale.
This also caused those people who came from Japan to talk to each other in almost every shop.
Need more money!
Of course, this is only the majority, and a very few people will not listen to Li Yunxiao. Most of them are higher than the original price, less than double.
Even if Li Yunxiao knew about this, he would not stop it.
He can be accused behind others' backs, but if it can let the world know that the people of the Tang Dynasty are open and tolerant, he doesn't mind.
Just as Li Shimin taught Li Yunxiao at the beginning, it is not advisable to close the country in isolation. Civilized exchanges are real. However, the degree of this exchange depends on the restrictions imposed by the people in control.
As for Li Yunxiao, this is the limit now!
Nowadays, most of the people have no worries about food and clothing, and they can live freely without suppressing the people's individuality.
Even some poets' descriptions in their poems are either imaginative or self-indulgent, and they disdain to belittle others, let alone preach.
Pleasures, grievances, joys, angers, sorrows and joys are all contained in it. This kind of culture has attracted people from many countries. After coming to the Central Plains, they did not want to go back.
All the countries were happy, but only the Japanese country was very troubled. They wanted to live here for a long time and learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't want to be targeted by that damn Li Yunxiao's restrictions.
Because of this matter, the Japanese envoys came to see him repeatedly, hoping to seek justice.
Li Zhi directly ordered the eunuch to reply that he was going out recently and would not entertain anyone.
Li Yunxiao took over the matter and asked someone to take the lead.
Of course there can be justice. He, Li Yunxiao, is very democratic. Since the Japanese people proposed, then in turn, all countries outside the Tang Dynasty will buy double the things, and the Japanese country will have all the purchasing expenses halved.
Now, the people of various countries are getting interesting.
Many people know that this is deliberately provoking disputes and a conspiracy, but they can't avoid it.
Within a few days, without Li Zhizhi meeting them, the rest of the envoys outside united to attack the Japanese country.
According to what everyone thinks, that’s what it should be!
Who told them that they had offended someone in the early years, but now they just returned the favor, so you can be unlucky yourself, but don't take them with you!
After all, it is better for one country to be unlucky than for hundreds of other countries to be unlucky with them!
The Japanese envoy was so angry that he couldn't say anything except calling Baga where he lived.
Now he only hopes that the Japanese people who come to Datang can integrate as soon as possible, learn the culture and language, and then they can fake the real thing and become Central Plains people...
At this time, I was looking at the Yang family. Because Wu Zhao was promoted to queen, she was also named a first-class lady of the country.
The fact that the Wu family is respectful to him is called humility.
Yang didn't have much of a good impression of them in his heart, and he almost didn't give them a good look. Even if they chatted, they would leave after just two or three sentences.
Wu Shun had already been kicked out of the harem and sent to serve the Yang family.
Yang now also showed the cold look that she had been holding back for a long time. Just like the queen's mother, she was no longer humble to others, but showed arrogance everywhere.
She remembers all the years of bullying!
Today, the Wu family wanted to entertain the Yang family with a feast, but during the chat, Yuan Shuang's son made rude remarks, which made them unhappy with each other, and eventually they quarreled.
The rest of the Wu family were even more stupid, thinking that after a few glasses of wine, their relationship would be reunited. Some of the juniors actually pointed at her and told her how she was before and how she is now, almost exposing her old background. Resulting in loss of face.
When she got angry, she got up and left, and now she went to the palace to complain.
As soon as she arrived at Wu Zhao's residence, she heard singing playing in the courtyard, which seemed very lively.
When the eunuch at the door saw Yang coming, he quickly stepped forward with a smile: "Old madam, why are you here?"
The eunuch was the person who accompanied Wu Zhao into the court from the beginning. Because he was eloquent and good at talking, he is now the person beside Wu Zhao. He currently lives in the fourth rank. He is considered the first eunuch under Eunuch Hai. His name is Gao Lishi.
Of course, he is also a bad person!
Yang said calmly: "I'm here to see my daughter, please get out of the way."
"Oh, my ancestors, please don't go in. The Holy One is discussing with others, so you can't go in!"
"Is that so?"
Hearing the emperor discussing matters inside, if he barged in, wouldn't he be causing trouble?
At this moment, Li Zhi sent someone out.
"Okay, those are 10% of the profits. You can send someone to sort them out. I'll leave first."
"Okay, the Imperial Master has been really troublesome recently. I have you in the Tang Dynasty, so why worry about it? Go slowly."
Yang was stunned when she saw the two of them.
She thought Li Zhi was discussing matters alone with his daughter, and that Li Yunxiao was discussing matters emotionally?
Li Yunxiao had such a good relationship with the late emperor, how could he have such a good relationship with Li Zhi?
She had been ignoring government affairs outside, and she really didn't know that the relationship between Li Yunxiao and Li Zhi could be like this.
This scene was just like when she saw Li Shimin and Li Yunxiao's brothers matching each other in Luoyang, which was shocking.
"Please give way."
Li Yunxiao couldn't help but say something when he saw her standing in the doorway.
When Yang heard this, he suddenly felt uncomfortable and could not help but frown slightly.
"I said, get out of the way!"
A faint voice sounded, but it was like spring thunder in Yang's ears, frightening her.
