A group of ministers shook their heads to express that they had no objection.
"Her Royal Highness's policy is a life-saving policy. The princess has a kind heart."
"Your Highness the Princess is righteous"
"I am ashamed of myself"
There is a lot of flattery. Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling are still thinking about the key points. These contents have never been heard by Li Mingda or Lao Li. They should listen to it first and then talk about it. As for expressing their opinions, they He is a die-hard supporter of Lao Li, and he opposes it with good advice. Why do you oppose it?
"The next step is to reform taxes. The taxes of various industries will be different in the future. First of all, the tax on land is set at 20 tax 1, and the tax on tobacco, tea and wine is 1 and a half (15%). Jiaofang The brothel tax is 4 layers (40%), and the grain and cloth tax is half a layer (5%). From now on, the official will gradually introduce affordable prices in various places. Private grain shops in various places are not allowed to exceed 3 layers (30%) of the official affordable grain. ), those who exceed it will be deemed as having stolen the country's disaster relief food funds during the disaster year and ransacked their homes.
"Specific changes including all aspects will be reported to the whole country later."
"In order to prevent some people from reselling public grain, residents register with their identity cards to receive it, and each person is limited to one bucket per month."
"In order to prevent local governments from collecting taxes randomly, the taxation work of the government will be divided into a new government office and completed in the next five to ten years."
There are many families below who are hoarding food. They thought that Li Mingda was going to cut them off. After hearing this, they felt much relieved. It was just a bucket of food for one person, and it would not cost them all their belongings.
As for taxation, which has always been a hot potato, some people still don't touch it. As for those who are greedy for ink, what they think in their hearts is another matter.
"Also, in the past, local recruitment for petty officials in yamen in various places has been changed to official assignment and recruitment. The number of local recruits cannot exceed 3 levels. Priority is given to retired military personnel for appointment. They will be regarded as the lower-level public servants of the Tang Dynasty. , specific measures will be completed within five years.”
The generals suddenly opened their eyes. This was a disguised improvement in their treatment and background~!
Li Mingda paused deliberately to give these veterans time to react.
Niu Jinda directly shouted: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess. I agree with this method."
Cheng Yaojin: "This is a great method. I agree."
Yuchi Jingde: "Okay, it's really a good policy."
Li Jing: "Soldiers sacrifice their lives and blood for the country, and it is a great kindness to have no worries after retirement."
His boss spoke, and the generals and colonels below all shouted hello.
Even Hou Junji, who had always been at odds with Li Mingda, kept his mouth shut. This policy was really good news for them who joined the army.
Li Mingda stretched out his hand to suppress their shouts: "In order to prevent the pension money from being insufficient for the families of the fallen soldiers to raise their children and provide the elderly with something to rely on, a subsidy will be added to the pensions of the soldiers who died in the battle, and they will receive a certain amount every year. The specific implementation of monetary and grain subsidies is calculated separately based on the grain prices and required expenses in various places. This policy will be completed in the next five to ten years.
The generals were so excited, they really died without regrets.
Lao Li was also excited to stand up. He had never heard Li Mingda say this at all. Really, when did Li Mingda think of it.
Actually, it's not that Li Mingda wanted to throw out this policy so early, but that there has been too much bad news recently. According to the latest intelligence from the Western Region, a new force has appeared in the territory of the destroyed ancient Roman Empire. It is said to revive the ancient Roman Empire and allow the Roman Empire to rise again.
The leader claimed to be a descendant of Alexander Caesar and inherited his name.
And there are also several forces rising in distant Eastern and Northern Europe, but they don't have specific names yet.
persian empire
ancient rome
Plus Europe
It seems possible that Artoria, Joan of Arc or something will appear.
Is this the rhythm of global chaos?
He and Murong Xue could only hurriedly come up with their own preparatory policies and planned to force changes.
"Inventory the population of the Tang Dynasty, measure the world, and re-establish weights and measures. The Tang Dynasty official will make standards. No one is allowed to change them without permission. If the amount is large and exceeds 10 guan, he will be punished for fraud. He will be exiled for a hundred guan and executed for a thousand guan."
Counting the population, measuring the land, and unifying the measurements will cut off the source of money for some sinister families and cut off their ways of defrauding the people.
Some people from aristocratic families squatting in the Taiji Hall became uneasy.
Li Shimin, who was sitting in a high position, saw the strange movements of the crowd at a glance, and a cruel smile escaped from the corner of his mouth.
Li Mingda's policy is actually what he has been waiting for the longest. The reason why it was difficult to unify weights and measures in the past was because of the insufficient production of steel and bronze.
Aluminum alloy technology has been introduced here. Aluminum is cheap and plentiful, so there is no need to worry about being used by those people to accommodate the same buying and selling price difference as bronze and steel.
Count the population, uncover the hidden population of these aristocratic families, cut off their rebellious soldiers, and liberate the oppressed people.
Measuring the World can also find out all their hidden properties. The Tang Dynasty's treasury will definitely be rich.
Li Mingda naturally felt the restlessness and continued: "Some of the land population is due to historical issues. This princess will give you a time period to buffer. The time is one year. After one year, the population census and land measurement will begin, and the new weights and measures will also be carried out." As it comes, you should seize the opportunity yourself."
"Oh, by the way, those who haven't reported to Jinyiwei yet, remember to go after the court meeting is over. The next one is next."
The mood of those restless people suddenly fell to the bottom. How could this little princess still remember these things? However, after giving them a year, they still did not kill them all and gave them time to think of a solution.
Actually
Why does Li Mingda need to prepare for a year? The first is that he needs information from various places. The second is to give himself and Lao Li some preparations to kill them with a knife. And who said it will start in one year? It will really start in one year. Woolen cloth.
It's just an argument to paralyze them.
"Next is the issue of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sent people to dig the canal, which could connect the north and the south and facilitate the transportation of goods and grain. Over the years, the river has been silted up. It is recommended that people be sent to dredge it and strengthen the water transportation of the canal. Control, rice in Chang'an city or in the north 8 southern goods and northern goods are transported through canals."
"Although Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty has passed away, his achievements are still there. The canal's merits are of great benefit in the contemporary era. It is recommended to add an agency for water transportation and cleaning up the river to be responsible for the operation. In order to prevent corruption, Jin Yiwei and Bai Bai Both cavalry and commanders will intervene, and there will be enough troops stationed in various places to deal with various incidents."
Li Ke was extremely excited when he heard what Li Mingda said. He was talking about his grandfather back then. Looking at Li Mingda's young body, he was full of gratitude.
