Because what Jiang Chi said, Li Er regarded it as a way to curry favor with Jiang Chi, so he must not make any mistakes.
The ministers in the palace all complimented him one after another.
"Your Majesty, since the Imperial Master has spoken, reform is imperative and there must be no mistakes."
"That's right, we must satisfy the National Preceptor this time, otherwise none of us will be able to get a good deal."
"Since His Majesty has set the tone, we should also promise that if anyone dares to come together in the future, Datang will never allow them to exist."
"The reform of commercial tax and salt tax is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. The ministers still agree with this matter, but as your Majesty said, once the people of the five surnames and seven looks do not come out to cause trouble, what should we do?"
"Potential dangers will always be lurking. It's not a problem to keep guarding against them."
"..."
This is indeed a difficult problem to solve. After all, it has been known for a long time that Jiang Qian has the power of ghosts and gods, and those people with the five surnames and Qiwang are not all fools.
Even a fool can't pass it on for hundreds of years.
The major aristocratic families are related by marriage and have been linked to each other for countless years. The various relationships are so intricate that it is difficult to deal with them.
This is the hardest part.
Once these people fawn over Jiang Chi, and once they don't come out to oppose Li Er, even His Majesty Li Er will have no reason to use the knife on them.
After all, although they are powerful, they still keep to themselves.
——Although I have never been at peace.
But once you really keep to yourself, it's definitely not a good thing, at least not for Li Er and the others.
If you cannot resolve the five surnames and seven desires, you will always feel that there is a thorn in your heart that cannot be resolved.
What should I do?
They all felt helpless. Not only were they smart in this world, but others were not stupid either.
"I can't control this matter. Let him go and wait until the commercial tax and salt tax are raised."
Li Er thought for a while and said: "No matter how the reform continues, the Tang Dynasty is really too poor. Without extra money to do things, the way to immortality is far away."
So you must not be blind.
Without money everything is difficult.
If you have money, you can do anything.
This is the reality. His Majesty Li Er has a deep understanding of this and feels that what Jiang Que said is reasonable.
He didn't say much else.
Suddenly, for a moment, he understood Jiang Qian better. Even ghosts and gods, even immortals, were still short of money.
It's better to be stingy or stingy.
This may be true.
Suddenly, Li Er had some enlightenment.
He suddenly had other thoughts in his mind, so he continued: "Everyone, since everyone has agreed to the reform, then the next imperial edict will have everyone's names attached.
Regarding the reform of commercial tax and salt tax, let all the ministers take action together, and I will leave this matter to you."
Ministers: "..."
His Majesty Li Er's words made them at a loss. They felt a little embarrassed for a while. To be honest, they actually didn't want to take over such a mess.
After all, whether it is commercial tax or salt tax, reform will offend people and redivide the cake.
In other words, those interest groups in the past have to take out some benefits and divide them up again.
And who will implement it specifically?
Li Er's words caused the expressions of all the princes in the palace to change drastically. After exchanging glances, they still chose to nod.
After all, it's about immortality.
As long as you can become a ghost and god, as long as you can live without death, it doesn't matter no matter how many people you offend.
So what if there are five surnames and seven hopes?
For Jiang Qian and the others, it was still not enough.
Management is management.
It is something feasible. Maybe they will have to work harder in the future.
Otherwise, how would Jiang Chi explain it?
In the future, you will have to rely on others for your longevity, so you can't offend him now.
Li Er also thought the same way.
It is precisely because of this that he issued orders to these ministers in an imperative manner.
"yes!"
The ministers had no choice but to nod, not daring to disobey anything.
Although Jiang Chi promised them all kinds of benefits, that was in the future, and it was still very early now.
If they don't live to the time Jiang Chi said, if His Majesty Li Er takes advantage of them, if people with five surnames and Qi Wang assassinate them now.
Then the final result may be different.
When they cannot live forever, it means that they have no chance of immortality, and they will eventually become an extremely helpless existence.
When they thought of this kind of situation, they felt a little weird in their hearts, and hurriedly said: "What your Majesty said is true. Leave the reform to us this time. We must make the Tang Dynasty rich."
What you say with your conscience in mind seems to make sense.
Li Er was very unhappy to hear that.
So he hurriedly said: "In this case, I will trouble you all. This time, we must establish a commercial tax system no matter what, nationalize salt for sale, and order all seaside counties to start drying sea salt for transportation.
I am waiting for the good news from you in Chang'an City. These matters must have a result within three months, so that I can cooperate with the Imperial Master to make the next plan."
Three months later.
It was about the day when Jiang Que, the national master, was going to preach to the world, and he must not make any mistakes.
In this way, there is calculation.
"yes!"
Everyone could only nod helplessly and did not dare to say anything else.
Probably because I think it’s useless to say it.
Immortality was so attractive and the possibility was so great that they were once surprised.
In fact, I was a little scared.
Reform is reform.
What's the big deal? Since His Majesty Li Er doesn't care about the chaos in the world and has the courage to overthrow it and start over, naturally they are not afraid either.
At worst, you'll be facing someone with the fifth surname and Qi Wang.
I'm just afraid that they won't show up.
As Li Er said just now, it may seem a little embarrassing.
But I can't control that much now.
Li Er was thinking about reforms, but Jiang Qian from the Imperial Palace outside the palace did not think about this. "In three months, the palace should be completed. How should I preach to the world?"
This is a bit embarrassing.
There is no one who can teach it. Although there are ninth-level Taoist skills, this skill cannot be easily taught.
"It seems I have to think of a way."
Jiang Qian murmured to himself, "There are many other Immortal Dao techniques. Perhaps these techniques can be integrated into a monument of enlightenment, so that all those who are destined in the world can realize the Dao.
Whoever is lucky will be able to sense good exercises, and whoever is unlucky will naturally sense the worst exercises. There is no doubt about this."
In this way, it can also reflect Jiang Chi's great kindness.
After thinking about this.
Jiang Chi then smiled, "Now that I have recovered some cultivation, and I also have a lot of immortal magic power, wouldn't it be better if preaching to the world can also help me gain some merit, which is the origin of the world?
"
He became extremely happy.
My heart is very happy.
In the palace, when His Majesty Li Er saw the ministers beginning to express their determination, he said to them: "My ministers, since I succeeded to the throne, I have inherited the destiny of heaven and been supported by the people.
Now that I have received help from a being like the Imperial Master who is more terrifying than ghosts and gods, I believe that I have an extraordinary destiny. I hope that you will have a good time in dealing with the reform matters.
If one day my merits can be fulfilled, I might be able to meet you all in the heavenly palace."
How good is this.
The Lord of the Heavenly Palace, the so-called Heavenly Emperor, His Majesty Li Er also wants to compete for it.
If possible, he, who is near the water and the tower, will definitely have a chance.
"After all, I can still blatantly and openly win over the Imperial Preceptor. Maybe he will agree to it because I pardoned him and made him the Imperial Preceptor from the beginning."
At this moment.
His Majesty Li Er has already figured out that a person like Jiang Chian is just a preceptor of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, he is a ghost-like existence, a mysterious and powerful person, and he is clearly a Taoist-level figure.
A being of this level doesn't care who the Emperor is.
As long as it pleases his eyes, as long as he obeys his will, as long as it doesn't harm the world's common people.
In this way, Li Er is particularly suitable.
"By the way, Wang De said a few days ago that the Imperial Master once came from Li Zhi's palace before he appeared in the palace. Do the Imperial Master and Li Zhi also know each other?"
Li Er couldn't help but think secretly, "If they really know each other, it would not be a bad thing for me."
It's definitely a great event.
He knew very well that once Princess Li Lizhi of Changle and Jiang Que got to know each other, Li Er would be much better towards him.
"Maybe I can still..."
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er thought of many things. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to build a closer relationship with Jiang Qian.
Or maybe he can get along better with the Imperial Master.
Take the relationship to the next level.
This is also possible, but he is not completely sure yet.
now.
When the ministers saw that His Majesty Li Er suddenly stopped talking and looked silent, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
I was thinking: "I don't know what His Majesty was thinking all of a sudden. He laughed out loud and drooled. Could it be that he was thinking of something delicious?"
They remembered it so much.
This Li Er is really different. He is worthy of being an emperor. Such ability is a bit special and is really rare in the world.
But at this time, no one dared to say anything dissatisfied. After all, His Majesty Li Er is the emperor.
Now he is still the nominal lord of the world, the emperor who can control life and death in the world. He must not let his ministers find out that the king has made a fool of himself.
Otherwise, once His Majesty Li Er takes notice, Bao Buqi will be put on small shoes at certain critical moments in the future.
That would be tragic.
I feel embarrassed just thinking about it.
It’s better not to read it, lest Li Er discovers this embarrassing matter and makes it difficult for them to get along with each other.
Then jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't be clear.
Fortunately, all the ministers knew very well that their Majesty Li Er was probably thinking of something good.
I just don’t know if they have a share in such a good thing.
All of a sudden.
The king and his ministers had different thoughts and other thoughts.
It seems that they all have their own calculations and are instinctively thinking of things that are beneficial to themselves.
For a moment, I was wildly imaginative.
His Majesty Li Er came back to his senses, but suddenly saw everyone in the palace thinking stupidly, and couldn't help being stunned, "Huh? What are these people doing?"
He suddenly frowned and looked a little unhappy.
Each of these people thought too far, and he couldn't help but change his face. "My ministers, what are you doing?"
Is it possible that he is still waiting for Li Er to come to his senses?
After hearing Li Er's words, everyone came back to their senses and said, "That's all, go back and make preparations. The imperial edict will arrive soon, and you can start preparing for the reform."
"..."
The ministers couldn't help but feel miserable and had no choice but to say: "Yes, I will obey your Majesty's words."
