Chapter 368

Tai Chi Palace, Early Dynasty

"Winter is coming soon, border fortresses, we must pay attention to reinforcement, although Xue Yantuo and Western Turks are not very good at invading the border this year, but they must guard against it." Li Shimin said.

If in the past, Li Shimin would have had a headache and had no money to repair the frontier fortress, but now he doesn't have such negative worries.

"Yes." Li Daozong replied.

Li Shimin said: "Ma Zhou, how is the business tax collection going?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, so far, all the big cities in the Tang Dynasty have set up points for collecting commercial taxes. So far, commercial taxes have been collected, a total of 530 million yuan." Ma Zhou said.

"how is this possible?"

"Those big cities alone have collected more than 500 million guan. If all counties start to collect, how much money will they get in that year?"

There was an uproar in the hall.

Those small counties are definitely not as good as big cities, but how many small counties are there in the world?

Added together, it will definitely not be less than those big cities.

And it's not even that year yet.

If all the cities in the Tang Dynasty started to collect business tax, how much could they collect in a year?

1000 guan?

Or 2000 million guan?

You must know that Datang's total annual income is more than 3000 million.

Just a business tax is about to catch up with the previous year's income of the entire Datang Dynasty.

"Haha, there will be no shortage of military expenses in the future."

"That's right, those old equipment should have been replaced a long time ago, but the household department keeps saying that there is no money. Let's see what excuses they have in the future."

Compared with civil servants, military generals are happy that their applications for military expenses will never be rejected again.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "That's right, I intend to set up a business department in addition to the six departments, what do you think?"

Tang Jian, Minister of the Household Department, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Household Department is in charge of the world's money and food, and business and tax matters should be merged into the Household Department."

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money and food. Except for the Ministry of Officials, which manages the promotion and evaluation of officials, the Ministry of Households has the highest status.

If business and tax matters are brought together to the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Households will not say that it surpasses the Ministry of Officials in the future, at least it will be on an equal footing, right?

Gao Shilian came out and said: "It's not right, the business tax is very heavy, it's better to add a new one."

The status of the Ministry of Officials is higher than that of the other five ministries. Gao Shilian, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, naturally does not want the Ministry of Households to be on an equal footing with the Ministry of Officials.

The others had no stake in it, so they didn't say anything.

On the contrary, many people are in favor of adding the Ministry of Commerce. Although Shang Shu and the others have no chance, they still have opportunities for other official positions.

When the time comes, you will be transferred to another level.

Li Shimin nodded, and said, "That's right. If the commercial and tax affairs are merged into the household department, the household department will be too bloated. Let's set up a commercial department."

"Fang Qing draws up a charter as soon as possible to establish the Ministry of Commerce. Ma Zhou will be the Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce. For other officials, you draw up a list and submit it to the Ministry of Officials for evaluation. If there is no problem, report it to me for review." Li Shimin said.

"I obey the order!" Fang Xuanling stepped forward and responded.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "In the proposed decree, Fang Xuanling, the left servant of Shangshu, will be named the prince and grand teacher. In addition, Princess Yuzhang is gentle, courteous and thrifty, and has outstanding appearance. Fang Xuanling's second wife is the last love of Fang Xuanling, with noble character, dignified appearance, And without a family, the marriage with Princess Yuzhang can be said to be a match made in heaven and earth, and I am very happy. I will send Princess Yuzhang down to the house, and all the etiquette will be discussed by the Minister of Rites and Qin Tianjian."

The entire court was silent, but Princess Shang was fine. With Fang Xuanling's status, it was normal for the second son to be killed by Princess Shang.

However, it is debatable to add Fang Xuanling as the prince and grand teacher.

There is no rank for the prince and grand master, but once Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne, Fang Xuanling may be crowned as grand master.

Taishi is a first-class teacher.

Don't look at the prince being a first-rank, the Duke of the county feels that the first-rank is worthless since he was a first-rank.

A title is a title, and an official position is an official position.

Shangshu Zuo Pushe, known as the prime minister, has a high status, right?

But in fact, it is the third grade. In terms of rank, the six ministers are also the third grade, which is the same as the prime minister.

The Tang Dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty, and the first and second grades were rampant.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were only three grades of real jobs at most.

One product and two products, only empty jobs.

Although it is a false job, not everyone can get it.

Moreover, things are not that simple.

Before, many people felt that Li Chengqian's crown prince position was not stable at all.

But what Li Shimin did now dispelled their thoughts.

"My lord, thank you Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling saluted and thanked him.

……

"Ding~, the host has successfully signed in, and the reward: the method of making soap."

Lin Xuan was overjoyed, the sign-in on October [-] actually gave him this.

Although he saved the shower gel that was rewarded by the system before, he still used it up.

In addition to being used for bathing, soap can also be used for washing clothes.

In ancient times, big families used something called pancreas to wash their clothes.

The pancreas is made of pig pancreas and plant ash, and the decontamination effect is not good at all.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan's clothes are usually not dirty, and soap is quite enough.

But ordinary people can't afford it at all.

Ordinary people wash their clothes, they are all smashed.

Li Bai wrote in a poem: Chang'an is full of moon, and thousands of households are pounding clothes.

It is about people washing clothes.

Although soap is used to wash clothes, it is not as good as soap, but it is better than soap, right?

There are no flowers now, and the production of soap still has to wait until next year.

But although there are no flowers, it can produce non-scented ones, which are not bad for washing clothes.

He doesn't have the time to do these things now, and everything will be done after the Wang family and his son are cleaned up.

……

"Sister, I heard that Fang Yi'ai grew up to be a rough and a bit naive, and my father actually asked me to marry such a person." Princess Yuzhang looked depressed, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

"Yuzhang, these are all rumors. Think about it, among those sons of lords, which one doesn't have some bad rumors? Compared with other dudes, Fang Yiai's reputation is quite good." Li Lizhi comforted softly.

What can she do? Ordinary people pay attention to the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers, let alone royal princesses like them.

"But where there is no wind, there is no wave. Since it is spread like this, even if there is a discrepancy, it should not be too big." Princess Yuzhang said.

In her mind, there was a tall and thick man with a sloppy face and a smirk at her, and she shuddered.

Li Lizhi really wanted to say that no matter whether Fang Yiai was like the legend, the emperor's father had made an order, and there was no possibility of changing it.

But thinking about Princess Yuzhang's current emotions, after thinking about it, she still didn't say it.

"Sister, the Marquis of Jingyang County should know Fang Yiai, can you help me ask him if Fang Yiai is what the rumors say?" Princess Yuzhang said expectantly.

Li Lizhi really wanted to say that it doesn't make much sense to do so, but seeing Princess Yuzhang's expectant eyes, she said, "Okay, let me ask for you."

"Thank you sister." Princess Yuzhang smiled through tears.

Li Lizhi smiled and said: "Okay, don't think too much about it."

……

"My lord, according to the investigation of my subordinates, the Tang family is divided into three groups, namely the Shandong clan, the Guanlong family, and the Jiangnan family. Besides, there are also some small families." Bai Gangshun said.

Tsumoto Yang nodded and said, "You don't have to think about it, which side do you think is the easiest to persuade?"

Bai Gangshun had been prepared for a long time, without thinking about it, he said: "The Shandong clan has been passed down for thousands of years and is the strongest, and my subordinates have heard that the Shandong clan and the royal family are not in harmony."

"Investigate the news about the Shandong clan as soon as possible, and I will visit in person when the time comes," Tsumoto Yang said.
