Within a few days, Li Tai personally sent this year's taxes to Chang'an.
The Tang Dynasty paid taxes mainly, which was renting and mediocre adjustments. Among them, renting means taxing the land output. It can be regarded as ordinary corvee labor, and the adjustments are mainly cloth. Relatively speaking, paying taxes is relatively free, which can
Free choice.
Of course, the so-called free choice will definitely have some differences when implemented from the above. Even if the politics in the early Tang Dynasty are relatively clear, it will be transmitted layer by layer during the transmission of instructions, so that some people will first know the specific number of rented mediocre orders.
Then the landlords gave food and cloth, and they paid the tax first, and then it was the people's turn.
Of course, these landlords are already quite conscientious.
For example, a landlord named Li Tai, who, as a prince, directly owns 100 hectares of Yongye land, and has three hectares and fifty acres of vocational land in the sixth rank. The most important thing is that there is no need to pay taxes!
Li Tai himself didn't have to pay taxes, so he didn't insist on paying taxes with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, after Li Tai sorted out the data on Gao Ling's tax payment and handed it to Dou Jing, Dou Jing was a little surprised, "Twelve"
What if one thousand two hundred and thirty-four stone wheat?”
"This is Gao Ling's household registration!" Li Tai took out the household registration list and sent the household registration to Dou Jing.
Then Li Tai said: "The list of Gaoling's household registration is here, so Dou Shangshu can try to compare and search."
In the past few days, the imperial court's orders have been brought down, allowing Du Ruhui to become a urging and demotion envoy to patrol the canal.
At the same time, Dai Zhou became the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Minister of Personnel, and Dou Jing also transferred to the Minister of Civil Affairs. However, the position of Sinong Temple was not removed. Instead, he temporarily served as Sinong Temple, because the court was not suitable for the time being.
candidate.
"Although Gaoling has placed 100,000 refugees, is there more than 60,000 people who need to pay taxes?" Dou Jing was a little surprised.
Not everyone in the imperial court collected taxes. The main tax on rent was a male student with acres of land. Each person needed to pay two stones of food, and cloth.
However, although Gao Ling had a kind of hemp, the amount was not enough, and the people who were not enough chose to hand over the grain instead of the cloth. However, when Li Tai handed over, he directly chose to pay the money.
Because Gaoling, as the dock was circulating and the economy was prosperous, and grain coin was replaced by coins, these Kaiyuan Tongbao were gradually recycled by Li Tai, but they did not recirculate.
To a certain extent, the most undesirable thing is Kaiyuan Tongbao.
"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded,
"Because the proportion of adults survived the most, this also led to the prosperity of Gaoling's service as a brothel.
I want to guide women to engage in other industries, but I am afraid that the number of brothel practitioners will decrease, which will lead to unnecessary chaos in society.
Is there anything that Mr. Dou can teach me?”
"This..." Dou Jing had no idea why he talked to Li Tai and talked about this topic, so he could only shake his head and said:
"You should go and find Shangshu Tang from the Ministry of Rites. I really don't understand this!
Now in Gaoling County, the number of people seeking a living has reached more than 100,000, and the cultivation of fertile land has exceeded one million. Your top evaluation is probably impeccable."
"It's thanks to the care of Shangshu Dou!" Li Tai said calmly, "If there is no problem, I would like to go to Taipu Temple by then, and I need to seconded some personnel!"
"King of Yue, are you going to Taipu Temple to second the staff?" Dou Jing couldn't help but look serious when he heard Li Tai's words.
"Hmm? Is there anything wrong?" Li Tai looked at Dou Jing's appearance, but he was a little unresponsive.
Dou Jing thought for a while and whispered, "King of Yue, do you know that Du Shangshu became the commander of the promotion and demotion to inspect the Grand Canal?"
"Du Shangshu became the supplication and demotion envoy to inspect the Grand Canal?" Li Tai said in surprise, "How many days?"
"Yeah!" Dou Jing nodded and said,
"So, if there is no business in the past, you will not be able to walk around the court officials recently.
As for you want a master craftsman... Now the Agricultural University is a formal court official.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I can still dispatch several masters to the agricultural institution in the name of supplementing the teaching staff.”
When Li Tai heard this, he looked at Dou Jing with some surprise and said movedly, "Shangshu Dou..."
"King Yue, the experiences between you and me are similar. Both royal relatives and nobles started their careers in farming.
Strictly speaking, you are still the identity of our Yuannong Temple, and Dou Jing remembers the locust plague in his heart."
Dou Jing said sincerely, "So, Dou Jing understands that it is difficult to do practical things. If you take care of them within your ability, Dou Jing will naturally be willing."
"Xie Shangshu!" Li Tai did not expect that Dou Jing would be so easy to talk to. "If possible, I hope Mo Ling, who had developed the egg hatching technology, could also be dispatched here. I wonder if it is okay?"
"Since King Yue has such a request, I will do my best. Please rest assured that King Yue!" Dou Jing comforted Li Tai.
When Li Tai heard this, he was relieved. He had already let go of his thoughts to go to Taipu Temple.
Others don’t know why Du Ruhui left, but don’t he know it yet? Li Tai feels that he should calm down a little and don’t ask for death to touch Zhang Wansui.
Obviously, Li Shimin transferred Du Ruhui to warn himself!
However, Li Tai felt that he could have a conversation with Du Ruhui, and he had to do a full set of things no matter how he did the show!
Watching Li Tai leave, Dou Jing's eyes look at the other side, and Fang Xuanling walked out quietly.
Dou Jing's face was calm and she spoke, "You have already said what I told the King of Yue. Are you satisfied?!"
"Thank you Yuan Xiu for your help!" Fang Xuanling bowed slightly to Dou Jing in a calm manner.
"I believe Fang Xiang will not obstruct the great craftsmanship that King Yue asked for!" Dou Jing said to Fang Xuanling at this moment.
"It seems that Yuan Xiu still believes that King Yue is a wise king who works hard!" Fang Xuanling looked at Dou Jing and said.
"A gentleman follows his actions and listens to his words. How many officials in the court are truly born in farming and are able to farm in a large scale and are not easy to farm.
King Yue did things steadily. If he could understand some power schemes, what would be wrong?” Dou Jing did not retreat when facing Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling heard Dou Jing's words and looked directly at Dou Jing, but Dou Jing did not retreat at all at this moment.
"Okay..." Fang Xuanling sighed slightly and said, "I will stare at King Yue. Although I don't know what means King Yue has used, if King Yue takes action against the court officials again, I will definitely not spare him!"
To be honest, Fang Xuanling can simulate any other thinking because of his thinking. This ability is to identify lies. As long as someone asks a question, Fang Xuanling can roughly judge the other party's attitude.
Like this time, Dou Jing told Du Ruhui about it, and Li Tai's reaction was that he would not go to Zhang Wansui. Fang Xuanling could confirm that Du Ruhui's failure to return to the center was definitely related to Li Tai.
At most, Fang Xuanling didn’t know what Li Tai used, but Fang Xuanling was not glorious to confirm that Li Tai’s role was not glorious.
However, Dou Jing chose to stand in Li Tai's position, but Fang Xuanling could not attack a prince without any scruples.
As a famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling was still very willing to protect people like Dou Jing and Zhang Wansui.
Because there are too few such people in the Tang Dynasty court, they all work from the grassroots level steadily.
The same is true for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. In some cases, although Li Tai is a prince, if he can take power, they will have the same position.
Valley
However, with the end of the civil war, the proportion of such practical people working from the grassroots level was decreasing, and people led by aristocratic families began to replenish the court and began to erode their power.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling was willing to give Dou Jing a face and Li Tai a chance.
With Li Tai's political IQ, even if he used the diary to secretly deal with Du Ruhui once, he did not expect that his simple choice would have been seen through by Fang Xuanling.
Even if it weren't for the status of the prince and his always down-to-earth attitude, Fang Xuanling did not take action.
Otherwise, Li Tai would not even know why he was missing in this officialdom.
After Li Tai went to Chang'an to pay homage to Empress Changsun and Li Shimin, he took the gift to visit Du Ruhui who was about to set out on the Grand Canal.
After all, in Li Tai's opinion, this incident was caused by writing a diary and conducting experiments.
Although I don’t regret this experiment because I really saw the power of the diary, Du Ruhui felt a little guilty in his heart. After all, to put it bluntly, Li Tai was thick-skinned enough, but not dark enough!
When Du Ruhui saw Li Tai, he looked at Li Tai very strangely and sighed slightly:
"I didn't expect that when I left Beijing, you, King Yue, also made some efforts!"
When Li Tai heard Du Ruhui's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. His mind was full of question marks, where did he reveal himself?
It’s a bit unscientific if you just guess yourself like this!
Li Tai smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Du, what did you say? But I just heard that you are preparing to patrol the Grand Canal.
So I came to visit Mr. Du to facilitate the next assistance from the Agricultural University.”
Du Ruhui now completely confirmed Li Tai, first invited Li Tai into the room, and then said leisurely:
"King of Yue, you shouldn't be here the least.
The only reason you are here is that you are still in a state of conscience and feel ashamed of your ministers.”
"..." Li Tai didn't know what to say for a moment, why did Du Ruhui kill herself! Li Tai didn't understand.
But Du Ruhui has his own judgment. Is it Li Shimin's blow to him when he leaves Beijing?
No, I met Li Shimin once and knew clearly how Li Shimin was about him.
This inspection of the canal is even like my personal visit. Although it is not in the central government, it is not a manifestation of my weakness. Strictly speaking, I have also strengthened my authority.
But in the eyes of some unknown people, leaving the central government is a sign of losing power, but no matter what, Li Tai should not come to visit him.
Because his relationship with Li Tai is not good or bad, under such circumstances, Li Tai comes to the door either feels guilty or wants to win over him.
So Li Tai shouldn't come to the house. As long as Li Tai comes to the house, it means that Li Tai is not pure in mind.
So Du Ruhui just casually tricked Li Tai, and then Li Tai was exposed.
It doesn’t matter what Li Tai said. As long as Li Tai doesn’t leave without waving her sleeves, it means that she guessed it right!
For these ministers, there is actually no need for any evidence. As long as they make a judgment intuitively, they will firmly believe in judgment.
No matter how Li Tai defended her, they actually seemed to be full of loopholes.
Because Li Tai really can't deceive these ministers in terms of his meticulous thinking. As long as he tells a lie, he will be caught.
Du Ruhui looked at Li Tai's appearance and said calmly. "King of Yue, the old minister can't understand why you attacked the old minister!"
"Mr. Du, I really don't have it! No matter whether it is motivation or means, how can I influence you!" Li Tai said.
Du Ruhui's expression gradually became serious and said to Li Tai: "The King of Yue said no, then there is no."
Li Tai was relieved when he heard Du Ruhui's words. Li Tai really didn't understand why he was exposed!
Du Ruhui looked at Li Tai's expression and continued:
"Your King of Yue are steady and do practical things, although it is difficult to walk step by step.
But all the important officials of the court could see that you were walking on the upright road to heaven, so you would never go against it.
But if you underestimate the important officials of the court like this, you will be self-righteous in playing with power tricks. As long as you use the court officials in the court, you can see through your court.
I will leave Chang'an soon. How many people do you think will be in the imperial court know that it is related to you?"
"This... has nothing to do with me!" Li Tai struggled a little when he heard Du Ruhui's words.
Du Ruhui looked at Li Tai, his words were calm but extremely sharp:
"Xuanling's thinking simulation, as long as you know the news after I left Beijing, as long as you do something that does not conform to your conventional thinking, you can judge that you did this.
Shi Wen’s chessboard of heaven and earth can observe things in the game from the perspective of a third party. As long as you pay attention to the traces, it is not difficult to draw such a conclusion.
As for my quick decision, when I see you coming to my mansion, I can tell as quickly as possible that you are definitely related to this matter!”
"Du Gong..." Li Tai heard Du Ruhui's successive examples, and his psychological defense line was almost defeated by Du Ruhui at a speed of destruction.
Li Tai clearly realized for the first time that he was in power struggle and the ancients.
I have always implemented the plan very smoothly, even if someone stopped it, but it has been implemented steadily.
So I naturally looked down on these ancients, but I didn't expect that this time I just used other means quietly and then met in one meeting. All my disguises seemed to have become jokes.
Du Ruhui patted Li Tai on the shoulder, as if an elder was pointing at Li Tai:
"Your King of Yue are ten years old and are making rules, which is no less than that of the Ganluo of Qin.
I work with Ma Zhou and also with Gaoling's corvee service, so I know better than anyone else that you are really a genius in the world.
Because of this, it is my blessing to walk on the right path. If you are addicted to the side and left path, it is my disaster to the Tang Dynasty.
I left Beijing and then stopped here, and no one would investigate it anymore. And...
The deceptive words come out of your mouth. King Yue, do you feel very painful? That's why you have such a big flaw!"
Faced with Du Ruhui's care, Li Tai brewed his emotions to the extreme, and at this moment he cried with a "wow" sound!
Du Ruhui couldn't help feeling soft-hearted, and reached out to pat Li Tai on the shoulder, as if comforting Li Tai.
Du Ruhui sighed in his heart: "Although King Yue is amazing, he is just a ten-year-old child after all."
Li Tai thought to himself that it’s okay that I am just a ten-year-old child now, and I’m so embarrassed to cry because of guilt.
Since Du Ruhui knew about it, at least the most important thing is not to let Du Ruhui stand on the opposite side of him. Now it seems that he is gambled correctly!
