"Ouch, Aye, Aye, stop fighting, he will be beaten to death in a moment."
Li Shen shouted for mercy.
Because the clothes are wet, I am wearing fur clothes now, which has no defense at all.
"Let you lie to me."
"Let you lie to me."
Li Shimin repeated this sentence while typing.
Li Shimin didn't stop until the book in his hand flew out.
Li Shen finally escaped from the clutches and rubbed his butt.
Li Shimin waved his hand outside, and Li Shen also pouted at his maids.
Everyone backed out.
Li Shimin sat down and saw that Li Shen was intact, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.
"You took some risks today. Even if you want to act, there is no need to actually dance in Qujiang.
There are so many rivers in the city. The Qujiang River is deep and has undercurrents. If something happens to you, how will I explain to the noble concubine? "
Li Shimin scolded.
"Thank you Aye for your concern, hehe." Li Shen could tell that Li Shimin was worried about him.
"Aye, how can I show my sincerity if I don't dance in Qujiang? But I'm not stupid.
It's been arranged a long time ago, and I have a rope tied around me.
A few days ago, someone sewed an airbag out of sheepskin and wore it under the coat.
Even if you don't know how to swim, you can still float up. With the rope pulling you, the current of Qujiang River is not too fast, so it is foolproof. "
Li Shen explained for Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded after hearing this. Now that he had calmed down, he analyzed the reason for his son's abnormal behavior in the court today.
Model yourself as a prince who was oppressed by power and committed suicide unjustly.
"Even so, you took some risks today, and why didn't you explain it to me in advance?" Li Shimin blamed again.
It wouldn't have stopped him from being so worried and gloomy if he had explained it in advance.
"Aye, I'm guessing that after he became ill, people began to spread all kinds of news that was not good for me.
In order to take precautions, I made some preparations.
This Duke of Shen is indeed a man who has matured with age. No wonder people say that he is a thief if he does not die in old age.
He even pretended to be sick to gain sympathy. He knew that his son had made too many enemies in the court, and he would definitely be attacked by a group of enemies whenever there was a chance.
He also wants to perpetrate injustice among the people.
Er can only come up with this last resort to deal with him. "Li Shen explained.
"Well, Duke Shen did go a bit too far this time.
But after all, he is also your mother's uncle and has served the imperial court for so many years.
Do I have to take care of my feelings? Li Shimin asked.
"Aye, the matter has been arranged, I have asked Wang Hongfu and Wang Xuance to handle it.
To treat others with their own methods, I will return the methods of Shen Guogong to him intact.
How does he respond? Li Shen said fiercely.
"Oh~~~Don't go too far, otherwise it will be difficult for your mother to explain.
Besides, if it goes too far, the Changsun family might step forward.
Now the Changsun family is not moving because Zhao Guogong thinks that you are just having a small fight. "Li Shimin warned.
"Aye, actually I'm just angry that he wants to take back my Chamber of Commerce.
If the imperial court took it back, they, the Wang Hong nobles from a family of officials, would immediately demand that they not pay fees as before.
And they also have to occupy the best resources of the Chamber of Commerce to support them.
They are a group of blood suckers who are greedy and will never be satisfied.
But in Er's hands, they have to act based on Er's face. If they ask him to pay, he will have to pay.
Nowadays, even the properties of some noble families have begun to join our First Chamber of Commerce in the Tang Dynasty.
I estimate that the Chamber of Commerce's revenue this year will be more than 10 million guan. I will donate 8 million guan to the national treasury in the name of donation, leaving some money for daily needs.
And this number will slowly increase in the future, and will soon exceed the court's agricultural tax. "
"Ten million strings?"
After listening to Li Shen's account, Li Shimin was a little surprised. The country's current annual income is only 20 million yuan.
"Aye, ten million dollars is actually not a lot. This is just the beginning.
There are also some from aristocratic families.
My wish is to abolish the rent and commission system in the future and replace it with business tax, so that the people do not have to pay tax.
At that time, the taxed grain can be sold for money, the cloth and silk can also be sold for money, and the labor force can also be sold for money.
Then people's lives will be better. "Li Shen talked eloquently.
“Your idea is indeed a good one, but it’s easier said than done.
The annual cost of a country is a very huge amount of money.
Moreover, the princes and nobles of various fiefdoms of aristocratic families will also oppose it.
Because they will not get any benefit from this matter, and they will not agree to using their money to support the court in disguise. "
Li Shimin knew this very well.
"Aye, take your time. They are powerful now, but that won't be the case in the future.
As long as we divide them into small groups, they have nothing to fear.
What they currently occupy is nothing more than two points, one is power and the other is profit.
If we can improve the status of merchants and cancel their low status, when merchants become bigger, they will fight against aristocratic families.
If they are rich, they can send their children to study and then allow them to take part in the imperial examination.
Even if they become bigger in the future, if they violate the law, the court can still punish them.
As long as they are not allowed to join forces, the court has plenty of ways to deal with them. "
Li Shen didn't understand politics or national policies, but he felt that it was necessary to improve the status of businessmen.
Studying requires money.
Although they have donated to so many schools now, there are still requirements for attending school.
It's not that anyone can come if they want, otherwise even the financial resources of Prince Ji's Mansion or the imperial court would not be able to support such a large expenditure.
Moreover, a school is only so big and cannot accommodate too many students.
Admission is by selection only.
But if the businessmen's status is lifted and the children of the businessmen pay to go to school, the money problem will be solved.
After hearing Li Shen's words, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.
There will definitely be some disadvantages when a businessman becomes an official, and there will definitely be some financial transactions.
But if you think about it carefully, even the noble families of today are actually the same.
"It is not easy for businessmen to deregister their citizenship. The first people to oppose it are the Shandong gentry. The gentry, peasants, industry and commerce are deeply entrenched, so it is not easy to change." Li Shimin said.
Li Shen also knew that it was not easy, so he said:
"Aye, you can take your time with this. This certainly won't change overnight."
At this point, the topic ends.
Li Shimin saw that Li Shen had nothing to do and was ready to leave. Li Shimin stood up and said to Li Shen:
"Since you are fine, I will go back to the palace. I will also go back to the palace to tell your mother and concubine that you are fine, so as not to worry her.
Now I'm afraid that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty already know the news that you committed suicide by throwing yourself into the river.
You played a good game this time.
But as I just said, don’t go too far, just give him a lesson. "
