Ma Zhou and Li Jingxuan support Li Chengqian's official and gentry's food supply together, while Cui Yu and Wang Xuance don't care, but in general, they tend to support it, but they are worried about whether such a policy will have a serious impact on the court.

As for Changsun Chong, although this guy is currently a loyal fan of Li Chengqian, he does not support Li Chengqian's proposal to pay food together with officials and gentry. Naturally, there is no need to explain in detail the reason. As a vested interest, the issue of paying taxes has always been so embarrassing.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian did not have much hope for the method of collecting food with officials and gentry. This was just an excuse for him to directly suppress the aristocratic family. He did not really want to achieve anything in this policy, so it doesn't matter whether there is anyone to support it.

For the next whole day, Li Chengqian and his group of "elites" were struggling and planning to make a big plan. Finally, Ma Zhou wrote a memorial to the old man, signed by Li Chengqian, and then brought back to Chang'an after the seal was sealed.

Three days later, the memorial was secretly sent to the old man's Ganlu Hall, and was opened under the influence of Comrade Li's curiosity.

"Erlang, Chengqian is so brave. It's just like knocking down a boat of people with one blow. It was originally a noble family, but now I'm afraid even the nobles will offend this." After hearing the story of the boss in the family, Changsun Wuji rushed into the palace. Just as Lao Li was reading the memorial, he went straight to the point without explaining it.

Li Shimin gently folded the memorial and tapped his fingers on the table. After a while, he said, "I think this method is good. If he comes, he will naturally offend people, but what if I come?"

To use my own self, this is a very obvious signal, which means to tell Changsun Wuji that in this matter, he does not want to talk about it as a private person.

A character like Changsun Wuji, who is like an old fox, can naturally hear the tricks from Li Shimin's tone and quickly change his name, but his tone is very anxious: "Your Majesty, even if you come to preside over the presidency in person, this is a big deal. If you really do it, it may cause a big mess."

"I know this will harm the interests of many people, but I just want to ask one thing, how much damage will be for our people? Take your Changsun Wuji as an example. Is your industry really on the land?" Li Shimin's expression was very serious, and it was clearly believed that it was a good policy to pay food together by officials and gentry.

As an emperor, there are indeed many similarities. The national policy that the "Fourth Brother" (Emperor Yongzheng) wanted to achieve for decades is still a thousand years ago, but he still has a firm supporter. If the "Fourth Brother" finds out, he will be proud.

But this is a paradox. We are a history book, so we won’t discuss whether the “Fourth Brother” will be proud.

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment. In fact, the industry of his Changsun family was mainly steel, and land was just ancillary. There was not much profit on the land every year. Sometimes he even had to allocate money from the steel industry to support the tenants in his fiefdom.

Just now, he was also worried and was frightened by what Changsun Chong described, so he ran to Li Shimin to stop him.

Now, when my brother-in-law reminded me, I realized that it seemed that not only the Changsun family, but also the other nobles were the same, and they did not make a living.

The reason is... these guys are all explosive households and they don't have time to grab land.

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has been fighting in wars, so where do you sometimes go to enclose land? Not many years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, these nobles had not yet reacted even if they wanted to enclose land.

Moreover, Li Chengqian has been struggling with many things in recent years and has created many industries. The nobles all have shares in it, and most of the industries in their families are in business. Land... Land is just a kind of sentiment, and there is no expectation to have any profits.

Therefore, even if officials and gentry pay the grain and collect taxes according to the land they occupy, it seems that there is little relationship with them, the great harvest is not enough. It is just that the harvest in the land is not enough. Anyway, the most things that come out of the land are to support the tenants.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji scratched his head awkwardly and stopped talking. However, this action seemed somewhat interesting when he was a middle-aged fat man in his forties. The serious Li Shimin laughed.

The embarrassing atmosphere between the king and his subjects was much eased by Li Shimin's smile. Old Li also took this opportunity to ask: "Wuji, you and I grew up together and are now relatives. If you are determined by your heart, tell me, what is this policy?"

Changsun Wuji had already been accustomed to Li Shimin's changing self-proclaimed, and followed his tone: "Erlang, be careful to do bad things with good intentions. I don't deny that Cheng Qian's idea is a good thing, and policies are also good policies, but it must be implemented."

"Since it's a good policy, let's give it a try. I just hope that the brothers from our Tiance Mansion can support this matter and we can set up the airs first." Li Shimin seemed to be determined to do this matter, and said persistently regardless of Changsun Wuji's efforts to stop it.

"But..." Changsun Wuji wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Li Shimin: "Wuji, at present, my Tang Dynasty did not care about the little tax on the land, but if the country didn't care, it would not mean that the people could not pay taxes, right?"

"Yes!" Changsun Wuji nodded in entanglement, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

In this world, there are many things that make sense, but not every thing that makes sense will be done.

For example, an old man was having a meal outside, but after eating, he found that he had no money. According to reason, he should send it to the government office, and the government office would treat it as a liar.

But in fact? In fact, there are elderly people in their families who have sent people to the government for a meal and have made a plan. If you think about it yourself and others, has this done over it?

The boss who sent the old man to the government may not receive compensation, but will eventually be punished for not having "ritual" and "benevolence".

This is the truth. It is something that is determined completely according to the public's worldview, and the same is true for officials and gentry to pay for food together.

In theory, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this. If you have land at home, you have to pay taxes. But those officials have to say that I have been selling my life for the Tang Dynasty for a lifetime, and my descendants even died in the war. Can't the Tang Dynasty reduce some taxes? Do you have to be petty about one, one, two, two?
