"The country is invincible and foreign troubles will always die."
Hanjing, East Palace, and Hall of Lectures. Hanlin scholars followed the orders, and Duke Li Wen Daya said to the prince. Emperor Li Shimin had led his troops to leave Hanjing and personally fought in the Western Regions.
The crown prince Chengqian stayed behind the prison, and four prime ministers assisted him.
Li Shimin also arranged a group of ministers to take turns to preach to the prince every day. He talked about Confucian classics, the way of governing the country, and even talked about military tactics and military affairs.
Duke Li, Wen Daya, was the leader of the three Wen clans in Taiyuan. The three Wen clans in Taiyuan and the three Yan clans in Shandong were called the two best gentry families at this time. Among them, the Wen brothers first served the Li family dynasty.
Especially Wen Daya, who served as a scholar in the Eastern Palace during the Sui Dynasty and was a Chang'an Wei. Because his father died, he was dismissed and returned home to mourn. After the world was in chaos, he no longer served in the official position. When Li Yuan was guarding Taiyuan, he made friends. After the uprising, he was specially appointed as the General's Office to join the army, which was specially designated as the chief officer.
The Li family was invaded to Guanzhong and became emperor the following year. Wen Daya was appointed as the Minister of the Yellow Sect. His second brother Wen Yanbo was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat. The two of them served in the same court and were deeply trusted by the emperor.
Later, Wen Daya resigned voluntarily, was removed from criticism, and was renamed the Minister of Works. Later, Li Shimin strongly invited him to serve as the Minister of Works of the Taiwan Department of the Great Street of Shaanxi East. Before and after Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin specially arranged Wen Daya to serve as Luoyang, thinking that he was outside.
Behind Xuanwu Gate, he was invited to the court and was granted the title of Duke of Li.
This year, 54-year-old Wen Daya was appointed as a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy by Li Shimin.
The bachelor's degree in Hanlin Academy is also commonly known as the president of Hanlin Academy.
This is the leader of the Hanlin Bachelor's degree. There are six bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy, and there are many Hanlin Bachelor's degree in attendance and lecturer's degree. There are many bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy, and most of them do not serve as the Hanlin Bachelor's degree, but there is only one Hanlin Bachelor's degree in his tenure and his authority is very heavy.
During the Wude period, the Hanlin Academy was first established, but at that time, the bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy was promoted from the bachelor's school in the Crown Prince Chongwen Pavilion and the Qinwangfu Literature Pavilion. The Hanlin Bachelor's degree basically also served as a bachelor's degree in another museum and had other official positions.
At that time, there were many Hanlin bachelors and not heavy responsibilities, which was just a title.
But many things have undergone tremendous changes in the Zhenguan Dynasty.
In the past, the three provinces and six ministries were systemed, with the Shangshu Province as the center. But now it has become a court centered on the Zhongshu School, and a new Privy Council was established to divide the prime minister's military power.
The Secretariat became the most powerful yamen. Although the Secretariat's servants were of low qualities, they were also called the Cu Xiang because they held important five-color judgment powers.
After experiencing the previous confrontation and resignation of prime ministers such as Li Chao and Xiao Yu, Li Shimin was dissatisfied with the existing central structure. So he quietly adjusted again.
Li Shimin's eyes were on the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin Academy was still the original Hanlin Bachelor's Academy, but the number of officials and grades were greatly adjusted. One member of the Hanlin Bachelor's Imperial, six Hanlin Bachelor's Imperial, and other officials.
He inherited the order of the Hanlin Bachelor and was single-minded.
This inheritance is actually equivalent to the secret of the ban on secondary vocational schools, and is one with the inner and one with the outer one, so it is now called the inner minister.
The six Hanlin scholars were responsible for drafting edicts and divided into the power of the Secretariat.
Nowadays, the Hanlin Bachelor and the Zhongshu Sheren have a clear division of labor. The bachelor drafted the edicts for appointing and removing generals and ministers, announcing amnesty, and ordering conquests and other major military and national affairs, which are also called internal system.
The Secretariat drafted the appointment and removal of ordinary ministers and routine proclamations, called the Foreign System.
The Hanlin scholars divided the power of the Secretariat in drafting the edict, while the Hanlin scholars divided the power of the prime minister in terms of their counsel and secret strategies.
The bachelor of Hanlin Academy is the second-rank bachelor of Hanlin Academy, and the third-rank.
With this high-quality, Li Shimin suddenly clarified the important position of Hanlin bachelors.
The prime ministers under the Secretariat were first cut off their military power, but now they have created an internal minister, which is also deliberately.
Cheng Qian sat there, seemingly listening to the class very seriously, but in fact he was wandering around. The three heroes of Wen's family, Yan's family, are contemporary great scholars, and he admitted it. But he just felt that these old scholars were a bit too dry to give lectures.
Listening to Li Chao’s class is always very vivid. Every time I talk about it, there will be vivid examples and big data analysis, which makes people see it at a glance and convinced after listening.
Today, Chengqian asked Wen Daya a question, "Is it better to tax based on taxes or how much wealth is?"
This question is actually very not simple.
The basic national policy of the Tang Dynasty was the equal-field system. The court equalized the fields of the people, and more people were allocated to the fields. Then the court basically implemented the basic tax system of renting and mediocre adjustments here.
Rental and mediocre adjustment can only be implemented on the basis of the equal-field system, because the fundamentals of this tax system are taxed in the same period, and it is a fixed tax amount. This tax amount comes from the equal-field number of fields in the equal-field.
Therefore, if the equal land is in place and one hundred acres of land can be used, the tax that can be distributed per acre of land will not be high. But if the land is not enough, the tax that can be distributed will be high, and even if there is no land, the tax will be paid.
Before the two tax laws, even if the rich people had tens of thousands of acres of land, the land tax they received was actually a maximum of one hundred acres. They could even enjoy privileges without having to receive taxes.
Li Chao proposed the two tax law, which was to directly levy the tax based on the number of land owned by households, and the tax was levied on a hundred mu. If it exceeds it, it will be levied on a number of mu without a limit. The more fields, the more levy it will be.
The two tax law of renting and mediocre taxation can be said to be two completely different tax ideas, and they are actually contradictory.
"Duke Li, do you think it is better to tax based on D, or to tax based on property?"
The prince asked again.
Wen Daya paced, feeling that the question raised by the prince was very profound, which was the foundation of the country.
The basic national policy of the Tang Dynasty was the equal-field system. With the equal-field system, there was a rent-in-law system. Even the system of government troops was established on this equal-field system.
The imperial court continued to equalize the land in the Central Plains, and the land in the Central Plains was insufficient. The imperial court immigrated to the border and opened up wasteland, which were all centered on this basic national policy.
But if you do some calculations, you will find that the equal-field system is difficult to satisfy for a long time. Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty has 10 million households and a population of more than 50 million. Among them, there are tens of millions. Even if one person has 100 acres of land, there are actually not so many lands to be divided into.
Much of the land in the Tang Dynasty was still in the hands of the landlords and powerful people, and even if they could develop the frontier, they would not be enough.
A particularly important point is that the world is unified and peace will be increasingly peaceful. Without war, the population will grow rapidly without decreasing. In the future, the land gap will become larger and larger. It will not take long to complete the equalization system because there is no land to be granted.
