The Tang Dynasty used Ding to pay taxes, but Brother Chu Bi's idea was to spread Ding into the fields. With Li Ke's mind, he naturally reacted quickly.
What Brother Chu Bi means is to cancel the poll tax and collect taxes only based on the number of fields. In addition, the government and the people will pay the grain together.
In other words, whether they are officials, wealthy families, or ordinary people, they are all treated equally and pay taxes together.
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Ke's look of being so shocked that he was so shocked that he was stunned and speechless.
"Whether it's surprising or not, can these two measures solve the worries of those wealthy families who want to occupy their fields all the time?"
"..." Li Ke saw Brother Chu Bi's expression as if the sky was falling and it was none of my business. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel evil in his heart. Brother, can you be a human being?
"Brother Chu Bi, aren't your two moves too vicious?"
"To sound a drum, you need to beat it hard, and to treat a serious illness, you need strong medicine. Just tell me, my brother, whether these two measures can solve the problem you just complained about."
Cheng Chubi had a drink. He had a little too much wine, but his mind was still clear and organized.
"Think about it, if the Tang Dynasty abolished the Ding tax, that is, the head tax, then would those common people still need to work as hidden households for the wealthy families to avoid taxes?"
"Moreover, those aristocratic families have always aimed to annex the land of the common people, and they wish that all the land in the world would go into their pockets."
“And after the government and the people pay the grain together, the more fields they have, the more taxes they need to pay.
In this way, what do you think of those aristocratic families with hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland?
Will they continue to annex land endlessly as they did in the past?"

Li Ke swayed and left the restaurant with Brother Chu Bi, watching Brother Chu Bi sitting on the horse and riding away unsteadily surrounded by a group of Cheng family members.
And he stood outside the restaurant, glanced at the palace not far away, and frowned.
After turning over and jumping on the horse's back, he walked more than a hundred steps in the direction of Prince Wu's Mansion, then suddenly tightened the reins, turned the horse's head and headed towards the palace.
"Your Highness, where are you going? Over there is Bei City."
Li De on the side was a little worried that His Highness might have been too drunk and turned in the wrong direction.
After all, after His Highness gets excited after drinking, he will habitually go to Nasigongfang for a walk and have in-depth exchanges with those beautiful young ladies who are not even wearing clothes.
But today the horse's head was heading in the wrong direction, so he quickly reminded him in time.
"I want to go out of the palace to see my father."
At this moment, the strong sense of responsibility as the Prince of the Tang Dynasty made Wu Wang Li Ke finally overcome his physical instinct of going to Sigongfang to wander.
Although Fang Xuanling and Tang Jian had already left, Li Shimin still glanced back and forth at the data tables.
Empress Changsun has also arrived at Wencheng Hall and is also looking at the forms curiously.
Listening to her husband telling her about the role these forms could play, Empress Changsun was also in disbelief.
You know, two days ago, my husband was still complaining about Cheng Sanlang, saying that the boy didn't do his job seriously all day long, so he only knew how to play cards there.
In just a blink of an eye, such a good thing was produced that was of great use to the country and the people.
"My husband has already asked someone to make copies of these forms and gave them to Tang Laoqing's family who is in charge of the household department."
"With this form, when the tedious data from the household department is submitted to my husband in the future, it will become so simple, clear, intuitive and vivid."
"From what Cheng Sanlang said, it seems that whether it is population, taxes, or even many government affairs, it can be expressed in this way."
Seeing the excited expression on her husband's face, Queen Changsun nodded in agreement.
"It seems that this time, our good son-in-law has donated another good thing that my husband likes."
"Yes, he not only gave me this good thing, but he also gave me a difficult problem."
Having said this, Li Shimin's face gradually darkened, and he pointed to the population development data curve chart and briefly explained it to Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun's face couldn't help but change, especially after hearing her husband report a guessed number of penises, Empress Changsun also took a breath of cold air.
Seeing the change in Guanyin's expression, Li Shimin smiled coldly and raised his finger in one direction.
"This is just Luoyang. The entire Henan Province of the Tang Dynasty is the place with the largest number of aristocratic families.
If we compare the population growth data of various states and counties in Henan Province, haha..."
"These aristocratic families are a chronic disease of the imperial court, sucking the blood and sweat of the imperial court to enrich the clan..."
Just when Li Shimin was sullenly telling Empress Changsun about the harm done to the family, a eunuch came in to report.
"His Royal Highness, King Wu, has something important to do and has come to see His Majesty."
"Only him?" Li Shimin was slightly stunned, but he remembered that Ke'er left the palace with Cheng Sanlang.
"Yes, just His Highness."
"Let him come in." Li Shimin took the tea soup from Empress Changsun and sipped it to moisten his throat.
Then I saw Li Ke, whose face was as red as a monkey's butt and whose bun looked a little crooked, entered the hall.
Smelling the smell of alcohol hitting his face, Li Shimin's face darkened instantly.
If Guanyin Maid hadn't been there, Li Shimin would have wanted to use a big stick to drive out this little bastard who dared to talk so brazenly about something important to report after drinking.
"Ke'er, why did you come to see my husband?"
#####
"..." Li Shimin sat blankly behind the desk like a petrified figure.
Empress Changsun beside him could not help but show surprise.
After Li Ke repeated the two sentences of Brother Chu Bi, he subconsciously drank and quickly raised his hands to cover it.
Then he saw his own father, who was face to face with him, expressionlessly raising his hand and fanning in front of him, but he didn't even bother to roll his eyes.
Instead, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, straightened out his beer belly, which was bigger and more erect than Li Ke's, and walked slowly on Wencheng Hall.
From time to time, footsteps would stop behind Li Ke, which made Li Ke subconsciously tighten his anus and try to sit up straight.
After a long time, Li Shimin looked at the red light overflowing from the mouth of the iron stove under the kettle, and sighed deeply.
"This boy is truly a man of unfathomable talent. It's so good that he can work for a small family and work for an entire family..."
Li Shimin turned around, walked slowly to Li Ke, squatted down, and patted Li Ke's shoulder hard with a big hand.
