"The second thing is Leke's future development direction!" Li Tai said,
"Liu Shenwei and several musicians found that the music can soothe people's hearts and promote the injured soldiers to fall asleep.
Therefore, in the future, in addition to developing in the direction of increasing collective organizational strength, Leke can also develop in the direction of comforting people's hearts.
When Shenwei comes back, you can discuss this with him and find a direction together.”
"This is easy to say!" Hearing Li Tai's words, Lu Cai nodded, "I understand what King Yue means."
Lu Cai understood that Li Tai's understanding of music was somewhat different from that of a more normal understanding of music.
For normal musicians, the pursuit of music is to cultivate sentiment and cleanse the soul, which is an elegant art.
But Li Tai's pursuit of music is more utilitarian, and he hopes that music can have a more direct effect.
We can't say that Li Tai did something wrong, we can only say that we have different ideas about music.
However, Li Tai's own musical attainments are really not good, so Lu Cai felt it would be better to agree.
Anyway, even if one percent of the music I wrote can play a corresponding role, I am not counting as fooling King Yue.
With Li Tai's musical attainments, it is impossible to hear the nuances in the core of music theory.
To be honest, Lu Cai felt that the direction of combining rituals and music with agriculture proposed by Li Tai is correct.
But what Li Tai said about using music to increase production directly is too irrelevant.
After trying it for a year, I only guaranteed that I would not reduce production.
Lu Cai felt that the real use of rituals and music was to regulate the farming season and increase the collective organizational strength of the people when farming.
However, this kind of ritual and music is somewhat in conflict with the current equal-field system. After all, working in a family unit and this kind of music that increases collective organizational strength cannot be reflected.
That's why Lu Cai was a little confused, that he wanted to compile a song of twenty-four solar terms first, and he could compile the farm work of each solar terms through the music.
Lu Cai vaguely felt that this incident might have a great impact, so he was very cautious.
Just like Sun Simiao compiled "Qianjin Yifang", their talents were able to do this, but their integrity and prudence made them dare not start easily, and they wrote while revising.
The only difference is that because Li Tai is a bit eager for quick success and instant benefits for music, Lu Cai just didn't tell Li Tai.
"As for the third thing... this is something that needs to be executed for a long time!" Li Tai said.
"Please give orders to King Yue!" When Lu Cai heard this, he immediately focused his energy.
Li Tai asked Lu Cai, "You have completed the household registration of the people of Gaoling!"
Lu Cai nodded and replied: "Most of it has been completed.
However, every year, people like the tenant Li Ding enter Gaoling, so the population increases every year and need to be continuously edited."
"It's okay!" Li Tai waved his hand and said calmly, "Just keep doing it, I hope you pay attention to another thing.
That is, in addition to the migration of these tenants Liding into Gaoling, the number and survival rate of naturally born babies, as well as the age and basic conditions of their parents giving birth to them, were also logged in."
"King of Yue, what do you mean?" Lu Cai was a little confused and puzzled when he heard Li Tai's words.
"Data is the basis of governance. Without data, everything administration is rootless!" Li Tai smiled, "When this autumn harvest is over, students can be familiar with this, remember to let them wear school uniforms, and also let Wei Xu
Protect them!"
"I understand that after the wheat is harvested, I will arrange this matter!" Lu Cai promised.
Li Tai, as the agricultural institution was on the right track, actually, it was enough to do it step by step.
In addition, Lu Cai’s own talents are actually not bad, so Li Tai needs to discuss with Lu Cai in addition to some additional arrangements, but in order to continue working in a realistic manner, Li Tai does not need to give any advice to him one by one.
After meeting Lu Cai, Li Tai came to Ma Zhou.
Because it is already the end of the year, even Ma Zhou, a guy who usually likes to go to brothels and restaurants, is sitting obediently in the county government to review documents. That's really hardworking!
"King Yue, do you still remember that you are the magistrate of Gaoling County, do you still remember to come back!" Ma Zhou looked at Li Tai and said with resentment.
"Am I the magistrate of Gaoling County?" Li Tai silently thought, but it was immediately erased.
Li Tai said with a smile on his face, "Isn't this you here? Just come and review it."
I'll make plans, and you'll implement them, and I'll have already agreed!"
"Yes, yes!" Ma Zhou was full of resentment when he heard Li Tai leave all his work alone.
But Ma Zhou said: "However, you must know how many people, how much income, and how much tax burden Gaoling has this year!"
"Just tell me the population." Li Tai waved his hand, "As for the tax burden collected this year, all of it will be replaced by Kaiyuan Tongbao!"
"Do you know how much income we have in Gaoling this year? Change all of them to Kaiyuan Tongbao!" Ma Zhou was shocked when he heard Li Tai's words.
"Not much?" Li Tai stretched out his hand and calculated, "Gaoling's taxes should be mainly based on rent and mediocre adjustments.
Because I did not need to pay taxes to the court this year, I misappropriated the land tax as part of the expenses for Gaoling's corvee.
If you want to make the accounts, Gaoling can do nothing, because Gaoling's taxes are used to appease the affected people."
"..." Ma Zhou looked at Li Tai. He had seen shameless people, but had never seen such shameless people.
Ma Zhou flipped through the data and had to admit that the court could not collect any taxes by using Li Tai's method to calculate taxes.
The most critical reason was that in the early Tang Dynasty, there were no heavy taxes except for renting and tying.
In the academic institutions, shopping malls, docks and coal industries, unless they involve arable land, there is no way to collect a single piece of it in theory, which is a headache.
Especially in this matter, Li Tai did not use the prince's privilege at all, but the court did not know how to charge the fees.
Ma Zhou said: "King Yue, the importance of Gaoling will become more and more prominent as Chang'an develops.
This place can almost be regarded as the center of the entire Guanzhong. Even if it is you, you can't take this place alone!"
Ma Zhou knew very well that if this place had not yet developed, then forget it, no one would pay attention.
But when it develops, not to mention the wealthy families, the imperial court alone would not be able to see this wealthy treasure pot being held in Li Tai's hands.
Even if Ma Zhou thought with his toes, he could immediately think of a suitable solution.
By the time Li Tai will be transferred directly in three years, Li Tai will no longer be in charge of Gao Ling. Even if Li Tai has some restraint, it is not certain who has the final say in Gao Ling.
At that time, if Li Tai doesn't hand over the dock, Li Tai may not be in danger, but his rights will definitely be eroded.
After all, the longer the time is, the bigger the prince is, the more the ministers will be able to suppress the more kingly.
Although Li Tai has proved his ability now, as long as the prince is still there, there will naturally be a force loyal to Li Chengqian in the court, especially the head of this force is Li Shimin, so if Li Tai does not hand over the dock, he will definitely be
Will be suppressed.
"Binwang, I know what you mean!" Li Tai nodded to Ma Zhou, "But the wharf is now an industry under the name of the King of Yue Mansion.
So I should not raise the tax on the wharf, but I should not raise it, but you and Chu Ke, no matter who raise it.
Establishing a new tax type is not only to collect taxes from this terminal, but also to collect taxes from Tianxia Shipping!”
Ma Zhou was stunned when he heard Li Tai's words, but he didn't expect Li Tai to be derived from the dock like this.
Li Tai continued: "The court is not a noble family nor a wealthy family."
It’s not that you will participate in the shares when you see something that is popular and can make money, and then steal your own interests.
How ridiculous this is!
My first year as the magistrate of Gaoling County was creating wealth. As this wealth channel stabilized, many people naturally wanted to get a share of this wealth channel, so the next thing to do was to distribute wealth, which was from the court.
Things are also the responsibility of the court.
For me, who is the person who wants to get a share of the pie at this time, is the saint who ruled the world and looked down on all living beings, or a wealthy family that salivates. The former may not care about it, and the latter may not be able to do so.
What really makes me difficult to resist is the court system, and the only thing that can deal with the court system is the court system.
As for what is the wealthy family in my eyes of Li Tai!
I am the world's number one wealthy family, and the world's first family!
As long as I do things honestly and don’t disappoint Aye, as long as Aye is alive, those wealthy families are just jokes!”
Ma Zhou listened to Li Tai's analysis and silently shut up. To be honest, Ma Zhou originally wanted to persuade Li Tai to win over the five hopes or ministers of the aristocratic families. Even if Li Tai left, he would also go through the offensive and defensive alliance.
Still able to control Gaoling.
After all, with Li Tai's current attitude, in Ma Zhou's view, it is certain that he will fight for the throne.
And I almost came out of the Yue Palace step by step. Unless I die early, I will definitely be the Yue King's faction.
Now that he heard the words of King Yue, Ma Zhou knew that Li Tai's attention was even greater than himself!
"Maybe only royal education can cultivate people with extraordinary structure like King Yue!" Ma Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
Ma Zhou said to Li Tai, "Nei Yue, what do you mean?"
Li Tai continued: "The way to govern is to legislate and regulate the people. The court should be open and honest and open.
First of all, the number of officials in the court is not managed below, so the tax on people should be big or small!
For example, if this wharf is now under the name of the Yue Palace, then you should ask me to collect taxes directly!
Secondly, the imperial court had a specific standard for collecting shipping, either by volume or by weight, which needed to be unified.
However, the sizes of various places are somewhat subtle and are not easy to measure in a unified manner. I followed the way and recommended Gaoling's unit of measurement to the court, and then charged a fee based on this fixed volume or weight to unify the shipping costs.
I think it can be charged a little less, but it can be charged one at a time when the docking is available, which is also convenient for management.
Of course, the government can also build warehousing to supply ships to save goods. When the storage fee is charged, it will be a considerable fee over time and the basis for charging fees.
In short, the court did not want to make a clever name and force shipping ships to survive only by relying on aristocratic families to exempt taxes. Instead, the court needed to establish a complete system to protect the interests of the people after collecting taxes, and to obtain taxes from the people."
"The King of Yue is very knowledgeable, and it makes people feel enlightened!" Ma Zhou was relieved when he heard Li Tai's words.
Li Tai smiled and touched his nose, saying, "Thinking is the idea, but you still have to do the specific things.
The court extracted reasonable shipping taxes, and my prince paid the tax, so that the shipping tax work in the world could be easily spread out."
"Zhou Xie Yue King is in love with the world and is clear about the righteousness!" Ma Zhou bowed to Li Tai and said.
"The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is my Li Tai! The blessing of the Tang Dynasty is my Li Tai!" Li Tai said proudly,
"Do this matter well. If you can collect the tax, the Ministry of Civil Affairs should have a seat in the future!"
"Zhou thanked King Jiyan of Yue!" Ma Zhou thanked Li Tai.
Li Tai continued to Ma Zhou, "When the tax matter ends, you will hand over the coal industry and the peacock.
From now on, you will focus on being an official and take this path well and steadily!
From my mansion, it will definitely affect you. All I can do is to let you have less influence in this court because of me."
"Zhou understands, but I can ascend to the Emperor's Hall because of the recommendation of King Yue, how can I avoid it?"
Ma Zhou said confidently to Li Tai, but soon changed the subject and said,
"As King Yue said, as the coal industry becomes larger and larger, it is indeed necessary to find someone to manage it, and the peacock is indeed suitable."
Since Li Tai said he wanted to hand over this thing to the Peacock, then he would hand it over to the Peacock, and Ma Zhou didn't care about this.
Because even as the coal industry begins to become larger and larger, the profits that coal directly earns for Li Tai are not high.
Even the profits you make directly, even down jackets can’t compare, let alone the dock.
Relatively speaking, the industry created by Li Tai is a Pixiu that only enters and does not leave. Anyway, no one is interested in this.
The farm was given by Li Shimin himself, and no one dared to move.
Although big shopping malls and coal mines make money, they are too small compared to the docks that make money every day, and they are all hard-earned money.
But the wharf communicates with the Wei River that runs across the entire Guanzhong. As long as it is not the ice age, it is very eye-catching.
Under such circumstances, even if Li Tai wants to hide it, he cannot hide it.
It’s like if Li Tai made fake accounts, he could turn the dock’s accounts into negative territory, but do you really think that others are blind?
I can’t see the wealth here when I look at the ships coming in and out, so it’s meaningless to make fake accounts in this place.
So the place must be divided, and the court will take part of it at that time. Even if other wealthy families are jealous, there is no big solution.
After all, this was created by Li Tai.
Li Tai was not promoted to Xiaomin, but Li Shimin's second legitimate son. With this identity alone, King Yue himself is a banner.
So apart from Li Shimin and the court itself, Li Tai did not need to share the benefits of this dock with others.
But Li Tai can turn this wharf into a trump card and cooperate with other forces. After all, it occupies Gaoling. With the help of the Wei River, Li Tai can easily revitalize the entire Guanzhong economy and influence the entire Guanzhong politics economically!
