How Shang Jun died is a question left over from history.

The apparent deaths are what the history books say.

Exploring the inner cause of death is that he offended the Qin clan, the most powerful group of people in Qin.

But more people think that Shang Jun is a different kind of suicide.

Because Lord Shang’s last crime was conspiracy and rebellion, and he died under Qin’s laws. So far, Qin’s harsh laws were equivalent to sacrificing a lord, a Qin prince, and a Qin king.

, truly achieved the achievement that the emperor broke the law and shared the same crime with the common people, becoming the strongest law in the world and establishing fairness.

The reason why Shang Jun conspired to rebel was because after fleeing, he led troops to attack the county seat, and was defeated and captured.

But how should we put this point? Li Kuan only knew one problem, that is, the main manipulator of Qin's reconquest of Hexi and defeat of Wei was Shang Yang.

Shang Yang's military ability overwhelmed a large number of famous generals. Will he have the problem of not being able to conquer a county with his troops?

No.

To sum up, Shang Yang finally committed suicide in order to strengthen the fairness of Qin's laws.

Let everyone see that even I, the creator, died under the law. Are you afraid that you still dare to break the law?

Now Li Gang and Li Xiaogong said to Li Kuan together, "Have you forgotten how Shang Jun died?" Li Kuan just wanted to say: "You two, how can I be compared with Shang Jun?"

The words were full of helplessness. Li Kuan really felt that he was not qualified to touch Mr. Porcelain Shang, but he was Mr. Shang.

Li Gang and Li Xiaogong looked at each other, and Li Gang explained twitchingly: "No, if you pursue the tax evasion matter to the end, you are qualified to touch the porcelain merchant."

"After all, tax evaders are not only businessmen, but also aristocratic families, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the lowest level of the people."

"Everyone is evading taxes. If you kill someone to stop tax evasion, then I think you can not only touch the porcelain merchant, but you are more powerful than the merchant."

Li Kuan was stunned. Are there so many tax evaders?

Li Xiaogong and Li Gang entered the yard and started talking one by one.

"The businesses of aristocratic families, merchants, and court officials are basically the kind of business I am involved in, directly false data and false sales of goods."

"As for the common people, they simply don't want to pay."

"And this thing is very easy to check. We all know the method you mentioned, but the reason why we don't check it, or find ways to check it, is that we don't want to sacrifice ourselves."

Li Xiaogong said that the thief is helpless. This is something everyone knows, but there is really no way.

Tax evasion is happening all over the country, and everyone is trying to find ways to evade tax. They really don’t know how to solve this problem.

Li Kuan was speechless when he heard this. Are you people waiting for this country to collapse?

Li Gang seemed to see what Li Kuan was thinking, and explained awkwardly: "We don't want to just watch it go unresolved, but the question now is whether we should redress the grievances for the people or the country."

"Besides, there are specialties in the art industry, so this problem has to be solved by Fang Xuanling and others."

Li Kuan also understood Li Gang's thoughts. In theory, everyone should redress the grievances of the people, but now people are also evading taxes.

It is not only the aristocratic families who hide their population, but also the common people.

People who live in mountainous areas don’t go to work when their children are born. When their children get married, they build new houses in the mountains and forests, but they don’t pay taxes.

Some people even hide their children in temples, Taoist temples, and aristocratic homes.

Everyone is aware of the problem of tax evasion among these people, but how to solve it is the problem itself.

Li Kuan thought about the sharp decline in the population of the Tang Dynasty in history. Based on historical materials such as Zizhi Tongjian, Tang Book, and Later Tang Book, historians speculated that it was Li Shimin who did not take the initiative to census the population and chose to hide wealth among the people.

Moreover, it is recorded in history that the population surge during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was mainly due to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty clearing out hidden households, and secondly, forcing people to live in separate households.

Of course, the main hidden houses to be cleaned up were those hidden by the common people themselves, followed by those hidden by aristocratic families. As for the situation that mainly targeted aristocratic families, Li Kuan could only smile and say nothing.

Li Kuan's thoughts returned. After listening to the two people's thoughts, Li Kuan frowned and said: "My idea is very simple. I don't want to be an official, I just want to be a leisurely person."

"Just like now, I can only study some tools and come up with some messy methods to increase land production to improve my reputation."

Li Xiaogong and Li Gang looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness. Then you can't commit suicide.

Your attempt to commit suicide has made the two of us very uneducated.

Li Kuan also guessed the impact of his behavior on the two of them, smiled awkwardly, and then said: "How about I come up with a solution to the problem of hiding?"

Li Xiaogong and Li Gang looked at each other again, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. Don't be seeking death.

"What can you do?"

The two decided to listen.

Li Kuan looked at the helplessness in their eyes and explained with a smile: "Luring them for profit."

These four words are Li Kuan’s method.

Li Xiaogong and Li Gang were confused as to what this method could be.

Li Kuan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "We can open state-owned factories and mines, announce positions with paid wages, and give one position to each household."

"I believe that many people with hidden households are willing to go to the local county government to register."

Ah this?

This method is very feasible, and it will help improve the household registration system and help Datang manage it, but he needs money?

And why can’t we use labor force to perform state-owned factories and mines?

Li Kuan doesn't care what they think, this is your problem.

The problem of hidden households left over from the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty must be solved, otherwise you will not be able to collect money in a short period of time.

Li Gang still remembered this method, and then asked another person: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, how do you solve the problem of tax evasion by merchants? Their commercial tax is also a problem. Now they have finally lost their tax exemption rights in law.

How to solve business tax?"

Li Kuan looked at the two of them, and after confirming that they were indeed asking seriously, he explained with a smile: "Can you provide security?"

"For example, a caravan purchased 30 shi of grain in County A, but it needs to be transported to County B for sale. As long as it pays 1 penny of security at the county government, then as long as it is lost, we will compensate him.

At that time, we will collect taxes according to his guarantee letter."

"And how long has it been since the goods were sold? We can calculate whether they are still there based on the shelf life and conduct inspections."

Ah, this answer shocked Li Xiaogong and Li Gang.

Is it a good result?

Yes.

"What if they are not afraid of the goods being lost?"

Li Kuan looked at him with a smile, are you an idiot?

Don’t you know how many bandits there are in the Tang Dynasty who work as thieves in their free time and as farmers in their busy time?
