In the Hall of Longevity, Li Si was considering what impact it would have after the cancellation of the checkpoint tax.

There is no doubt that once the checkpoint tax is abolished, Datang's business will usher in rapid development.

But at the same time, restrictions on businessmen need to be imposed.

Otherwise, if the farmers all went to work as merchants, who would plant the land of the Tang Dynasty?

In Li Si's view, food is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty today.

You can't destroy the Great Wall just by collecting more commercial taxes

Although commercial tax is important, food cannot be relaxed.

However, the degree of this needs to be strictly grasped.

Otherwise, there will inevitably be hidden dangers

Just as Li Si was thinking, the Grand Marshal Yang Qinglin and the Minister of Revenue took a look at each other.

"Thank you for the reminder of Taiwei"

The Minister of Revenue said in a low voice.

Just now, if it weren't for the Grand Marshal Yang Qinglin's stopping him, he might have advised him again.

For the Minister of Revenue, it is normal to speak out for advice. However, if his ignorance delays His Majesty's plan, then his Minister of Revenue will be punished for his death!

"Okay, you guys go down."

Li Si sat on the dragon throne, looked at the Grand Marshal Yang Qinglin and the Minister of Revenue, and spoke.

"Abide by the order"

The Taiwei and the Minister of Revenue left the Hall of Longevity.

Li Si slowly stood up and paced back and forth in the Hall of Eternity.

Merchants must be restricted, which is Li Si’s bottom line.

However, this matter is not urgent for the time being.

Li Si needs to see what impact will be after the cancellation of the checkpoint tax, and then restrict it.

Any decision-making must be based on actual conditions.

Otherwise it will be empty talk.

The same is true for governing the country!

This is also the reason why Li Si came to the Grand Marshal Yang Qinglin and the Minister of Revenue.

After all, these two people were ministers in the court and had a good understanding. The Grand Marshal Yang Qinglin even assisted the late emperor.

Sometimes, if they were to listen to it, Li Si might have unexpected surprises

the next day.

The Tang Empire announced the cancellation of the domestic checkpoint tax.

This move made the Tang Dynasty merchants cry with joy.

For a long time, Datang's business has been suppressed by checkpoint taxes.

Merchants have to pay a sum of money before they even sell the goods.

Who can bear this?

However, the cancellation of the checkpoint tax now means that these merchants have a much lighter burden.

Although there are still various other business taxes.

But those commercial taxes will only arise after the goods are sold.

The business of the entire Tang Empire suddenly showed a prosperous trend

Countless merchants take their own goods and travel around the world, and while making profits, they pay a tax like the court.

Palace of Eternal Life.

After two consecutive days of busyness, Li Si finally improved the rectification of commercial tax.

Nowadays, Datang business has no restrictions on checkpoints, and its rapid development is staggering.

Li Si was a little looking forward to what surprise he would bring to him by the end of the month after the commercial tax statistics were released this month.

Li Si walked out of the Palace of Eternal Life.

The breeze blew on his face, making Li Si feel relaxed.

"How long has it been since I last visited Yong'an Palace?"

Li Si carried his hands on his back, looked at the scenery in the palace and asked casually.

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the eunuch who was close to him thought of it and replied directly: "Report to Your Majesty, it's almost a month."

For the eunuchs in the near-coming eunuchs, remembering the emperor’s affairs is clearer than his own.

If one day, the eunuch in the neighborhood can't remember the emperor's affairs, it will be time for the eunuch in the neighborhood to replace him.

In the entire palace, there are thousands of eunuchs, who doesn’t want to be the one around the emperor?

"Set up and go to Yong'an Palace."

Li Si rubbed his eyebrows and said.

It is Li Si's habit to go to Yong'an Palace to see the Queen Mother every month.

In the entire palace, only the Empress Dowager and Li Si have a true blood relationship.

Only the empress dowager is really considering the emperor.

As for others, they either fear the imperial power or want to use the imperial power to climb up.

This is the emperor.

The emperor has no friends.

There are no so-called confidants.

Under the imperial power, they are all ants.

Above the imperial power, there is endless loneliness.

The news that the emperor was in Yong'an Palace reached the ears of the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother immediately smiled happily.

"Come here, accompany Ai's family and welcome Your Majesty outside Yong'an Palace"

The Empress Dowager stood outside the palace with the palace maid and eunuchs from Yong'an Palace, waiting for the emperor to come.

In fact, as the Queen Mother, you only need to be greeted in the palace.

But the Queen Mother missed the Emperor so much.

Although Yong'an Palace and Changsheng Palace are not very far apart.

But the empress dowager did not dare to disturb the emperor.

The harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, which was the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

If the Empress Dowager meets the emperor more often and delays the emperor's handling of government affairs, there will definitely be some honest ministers who impeach the Empress Dowager.

soon.

The emperor came to the Yong'an Palace.

"Have you seen Your Majesty"

The Queen Mother bowed slightly.

The other female officials and eunuchs knelt on the ground.

"Mother Queen."

Li Si and the Empress Dowager walked into Yong'an Palace.

The two of them talked casually for a few words.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the Ai family that a few days ago, Eunuch Cao took a woman outside the palace to the Palace Hall of Eternal Life?"

As soon as the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Li Si's eyes turned cold, but then he calmed down.

Cao Zhengchun took Nangong Qing into the palace, and many palace maids and eunuchs saw it.

It is normal for the Queen Mother to know about this.

"I wonder how His Majesty met that woman?"

The Queen Mother looked full of anticipation.

Li Si glanced at the Empress Dowager and knew what the Empress Dowager was thinking.

"Mother, that woman is the descendant of Cihang Jingzhai."
