Li Yuanxing also crawled on the ground, approached Li Er and whispered: "There is another tax called Tianzhi tax. For example, if I give my plow to Tianzhi Pavilion. After making this plow, I have to pay two cents of Tianzhi tax. This is
Leave it to God, because God has given you wisdom, so you can dig the plow."
"Then what?" Li Er still didn't quite understand. But Li Yuanxing's smile was so cunning. If his younger brother had died more than ten years earlier, Yang Guang's career might have been even shorter.
"The next step is the most clever tax. I am going to launch a big competition. The silk merchants will still compete. Whoever can invent the most clever silk machine will be rewarded. Then the people in the world will use this silk machine to collect the tax.
Half of the reward will be given to the first person to make the silk machine, and then anyone else who wants to use it will have to pay taxes. The remaining half will be used to thank God!"
Li Yuanxing's words moved Li Er's heart. This was equivalent to putting half of other people's money into his pocket for nothing.
This is a great idea, but...
Li Er asked worriedly: "How should I thank God for this?"
"To benefit the people is to thank God, for example, to build rivers. It still costs money to build it anyway, and the most profitable thing is to build roads. Once the roads are built, horse-drawn carriages have to pay road maintenance fees, which cost a penny for ten miles. This road maintenance
Once we have the money, we can earn back the money for road construction in ten or eight years. The most important thing is that once the road is built, more goods will be sold and we will collect more taxes. The most important thing is that this
I can use the money to fight the Turks first!"
Li Er shook his head this time: "No, the war against the Turks only happened in the past two years. This is a lot of money, and the thought of just fighting against the Turks is too close. It seems that we need to think carefully about how to use the money. In this way...
Let’s talk about the deposit first. Brother Wei thinks so..."
Li Erzai and Li Yuanxing murmured quietly.
But outside the door of the main hall, the eunuch shouted: "Queen Changsun is here!"
Empress Changsun was the only one who could enter the main hall directly without Li Er's consent. She came in and only took one look before letting anyone else in.
Without him, the two of them in the main hall were really invisible.
If Empress Changsun came from modern times, she would definitely say: What are these two idiots doing?
But after all, Empress Changsun also came from a famous family. When she saw Li Yuanxing's eyes were dark and Li Er's robes were messy, she thought it was a fight between the two, but now they were both crawling on the ground gesticulating, and even took the emperor's crown off.
The few beads that were dropped were placed on the ground, and the two of them were very interested.
"Erlang, Wulang. I wonder what is so interesting!" Queen Changsun asked.
Although Li Er is an emperor, he is only a twenty-seven-year-old young man, and he also has the fanaticism of young people. He was discussing Turks with Li Yuanxing, and when he heard the question from Empress Changsun, he blurted out without even thinking: "Wu Lang said that we should
Fuck the Turks until chrysanthemums bloom all over the ground!"
As soon as the words came out, Queen Changsun was stunned.
Li Er was also stunned.
Li Er regretted it. How could he say such rude words? He coughed twice: "Actually, Wu Lang just made a metaphor. Guanyin Maid doesn't need to think too much. All you need to know is that Wu Lang has a way to get Er Er within a month."
One hundred thousand guan, that’s enough.”
Empress Changsun followed Li Er in the southern and northern wars. Of course she understood what the two hundred thousand guan represented at this time.
The Turks! Will be waiting for the baptism of blood from the heroes of the Tang Dynasty!
The reason why Li Er did not say 500,000 guan was because he was afraid that if this figure was not reached, it would damage the majesty of the two Qin kings. It would be better if it exceeded 200,000 guan.
That night, Li Yuanxing did not return to Prince Qin's Mansion and spent the night in the palace.
Li Er's family dinner was very simple, with only four adults, including Li Yuanxing, Li Er, Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang. Li Yuanxing knew that Li Er had two other concubines whom he loved very much, but they seemed not to be present today.
Apart from these four adults, there are just a bunch of little guys.
The two oldest boys are both eight years old, one is Cheng Qian and the other is Ke.
The two little guys are obviously trying to please Li Er and want to get more favor. Maybe they don't know what the throne is, but they know what father's love is?
Li Er seems to be very happy. This may be the best moment for him.
At this time, Li Yuanxing said something shocking again, which was even more terrifying than what he told Li Er about rebellion just now. Because Li Er could understand his words, but Li Yuanxing's words were incomprehensible to Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang.
Li Yuanxing said: "In the far north, there is a kind of snow-white wolf. This wolf is the king of wolves, the born wolf king!" Li Yuanxing attracted everyone's attention as soon as he opened his mouth, including the group of little guys. Li Yuanxing
Er Ye also waited with great interest for Li Yuanxing to continue talking.
"After the offspring of this kind of wolf king are born, they will push all the wolves down the hillside. The one that climbs up first will have more meat to eat. The weakest one will probably starve to death. This
This is the world of the Wolf King, the world of the truly strong!"
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Queen Changsun's expression changed drastically.
Li Er's face was ashen and he stared at Li Yuanxing.
Several younger children didn't understand what this meant, so they all looked at it stupidly. Only two older boys were thoughtful, but one little girl said with teeth: "How pitiful that weak little wolf is!
"
Li Yuanxing smiled and continued: "They are not ordinary wolves, because they are the kings of wolves!"
"That's enough!" Empress Changsun had never used such a harsh tone to anyone, not to mention Li Yuanxing. Empress Changsun stood up and said, "Wu Lang, you disappoint me so much."
Li Yuanxing was not afraid at all: "Sister-in-law, you have also disappointed Wu Lang!"
Li Er also stood up. He wanted to help Empress Changsun. But Concubine Yang said at this time: "It's better to let Wu Lang finish speaking!"
"Okay, Wulang, continue!" Li Er wanted to help Queen Changsun, because Changsun was the most important woman in his heart, but he also agreed that since he is the king of wolves, he must live the life of a king.
Li Yuanxing continued: "There is also a wild horse on the grassland called the dragon horse. Does brother know?"
"I know, it's very difficult to tame this horse!"
"Because it's difficult, why don't you tame it?" Li Yuanxing asked rhetorically and then continued: "Don't you just face it because you're afraid? It's because you're afraid that you should face it, and because you want to protect it, we can make a rule.
The weaker one is not qualified to become the Wolf King, but it can be an ordinary wolf. And even if it becomes an ordinary wolf, it still has the blood of the Wolf King!"
Li Yuanxing's words shocked Li Er, his eldest grandson and Concubine Yang.
Modern people know that they naturally have a very high vision, especially the braided drama of the Nine Kings fighting for the throne in later generations, which is really cruel. But if it is under effective control, it may not be a bad thing, at least there will be no one
The weak emperor will let women seize power.
Li Er is thinking, because what Li Yuanxing said makes sense. If the children are too weak, who will protect the empire.
Li Er also thought about himself. When he killed Li Jiancheng, he also thought that if the Tang Dynasty was handed over to a waste like Li Jiancheng, the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed. Although he was his younger brother, he wanted to replace him for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. So in the future, his son
You can take care of it yourself, let’s go further.
Liu Zhang during the Three Kingdoms period!
What if your son is like this?
Li Er felt a very frightening feeling, which was more terrifying than the Turks attacking Chang'an City.
While Li Er was in a daze, two little guys, Cheng Qian and Ke, rushed to Li Yuanxing and saluted them together: "Please ask the fifth uncle to accept us as disciples. The fifth uncle is the one with great talents."
"Do you want to be the emperor?" Li Yuanxing asked.
I am afraid that only Li Yuanxing dared to ask this treasonous question. But Li Er smiled at this time, and his smile was very hearty. He, Wu Lang, was really a strange person. He did not have any moral values of the people of the Tang Dynasty. I guess Confucianism
He will also find a set of rhetoric to belittle doctrines.
The two and a half young men were stunned. As princes, they knew what this sentence meant.
But I saw my father smiling again, as if he was giving them a chance to talk, but what if this was a test.
The two and a half boys were so frightened that their whole bodies were shaking.
"Brother, this is the boy you taught him. He doesn't even dare to tell the truth. Well, let me tell you!" Li Yuanxing dared to teach the emperor a lesson. The little guy became even more stupid. But Li Er laughed even happier.
.
Because Li Er knows that when it comes to wolves, Li Yuanxing is the real Wolf King, a ruthless man.
The only thing that reassures Li Er is that no matter how cruel Li Yuanxing is, it will not affect his throne. Li Er has deeply believed that Li Yuanxing is definitely not from the Tang Dynasty, and he is definitely not from a foreign country. He can only be a star from the sky.
Jun is the kind of person who makes mistakes in the world and is punished to experience in the world.
Such people don't care about other people's thrones. What they care about is the way of heaven.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince. So, let's change the question, how to be a good emperor?" Li Yuanxing said even more shockingly.
Both Changsun and Concubine Yang were thinking. The two women were thinking from different angles and viewpoints.
One accompanied her man in rebellion and conquered the country, and the other was a princess herself, witnessing the disappearance of one empire and the establishment of another.
"Sir, you must work diligently and love the people!" Li Chengqian answered first.
Li Ke also rushed to say: "Be frugal and abstinent!"
Li Yuanxing laughed loudly: "Okay, then the fifth uncle will ask you again. How to be diligent? How to love the people? How to be frugal and how to be abstinent?" Li Yuanxing asked four questions in a row, and neither boy knew how to answer them.
"However, you are still young. When you truly understand what scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are, and what people's suffering is, let's discuss how to be a good emperor. Right now, the first thing you have to do is study, and learn from the gentlemen.
, write the article first before you can understand it all over the world!"
