After solving a problem, Li Shimin asked: "This time, after those aristocratic families exchanged copper coins, the Imperial Bank received more than 300 million yuan in profits. I would like to request a temporary suspension of agricultural tuition in the court for five years."

Yin Qingfeng thought to himself, I want to report that I am rich this time and don’t want to worry about your troubles~~~

But he still said: It's inappropriate.

Li Shimin was surprised. Didn’t you say that you would stop agricultural taxes in the future and only collect commercial taxes? Now there are nearly 500 million copper coins in the banks and treasury, so why is it inappropriate?

Yin Qingfeng said: "Have you heard the allusion of Shengmien fighting against Mi Qiu?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "No."

"The content of this story is: In the past, two families were neighbors and had a good relationship. One of them had much wealth.

This year, God got angry and caused disasters, and there was no harvest in the fields. The poor family had no harvest and had to lie down and wait for death. At this time, the rich family bought a lot of food. Thinking of their neighbors, they sent a liter of rice to the poor family, which was urgent.

This poor family is very grateful to the rich and thinks it is a life-saving benefactor! After surviving the most difficult time, the poor went to thank the rich. While speaking, he talked about the seeds for next year that had not yet been settled. The rich family generously said: Let's do this, I still have a lot of food here, so you can take it to another bucket. The poor person thanked him and took a bucket of rice home.

After returning home, his brother said, what can this dou of rice do? Apart from eating, it is not enough for us to seeds in the field next year. This rich man is too much. Since you are so rich, you should give us more food and money to give us this little. It is really bad. This is what the rich man heard.

He was very angry and thought, I gave you so much food for nothing. Not only did you not thank me, but you also treated me as an enemy. You are really not a human being. So, two families who had a good relationship became enemies from then on, and they never interacted with each other until they died.

This story tells the world: If others give him little help in times of crisis, he will be grateful. But if he gives him too much help, he will become dependent. Once he stops helping, it will make people hate him.

The Tang Dynasty's treasury is indeed abundant now, and it may be better in the future. However, the issuance of a decree depends not only on the intentions of the decision makers, but also on the final result.

My uncle issued a suspension of agricultural tuition for five years. What about the sixth year? What if they don’t pay the debt in the sixth year? Will it be completely stopped? Then does the royal family still have majesty?"

Li Shimin thought for a while, "Then... stop collecting agricultural tuition?"

Yin Qingfeng said: "I used to think about the problem too simply.

From the perspective of rights and obligations, it is an obligation for the people to pay taxes.

In the past dynasties, agricultural tax was the main source of the national treasury. Now, after the exchange of coins and the subsequent commercial taxes in the Tang Dynasty, it is no longer important to collect or not to collect agricultural taxes. However, after the new tax reform, farmers' payment of agricultural taxes will be a symbolic meaning of their people as Tang Dynasty people rather than a burden.

This symbol represents their sense of identity with the Tang Dynasty and means that only when you pay for the country, the country has the obligation to protect you.

Although in our opinion, those farmers are asking the merchants to pay taxes by purchasing goods from merchants, the world will think that it is just merchants paying taxes but farmers do not. Once there is a dispute, the merchants will say with confidence that I have contributed to the court and you have gained nothing for nothing.”

Li Shimin thought silently.

After a long time, he said, "Then do you mean that you still have to continue to collect agricultural tuition?"

Yin Qingfeng said: "The "rental" will be based on the original collection, and only the "Yonghetu" can be cancelled."

He originally wanted to say that he would give another "never add a fu" and he gave up after thinking about it.

Once the Tang Dynasty wanted to add taxes to the peasants, it meant that the country's economy had undergone a serious regression. By then, the regime was not far from its demise. Therefore, it was meaningless to say or not.

They have discussed this topic before, so Li Shimin did not continue. He said, "What's the matter if you come here this time?"

Yin Qingfeng said: "This time I joined the franchise, my nephew got a lot of money. In addition to paying Duke Ying and Duke Wu and keeping a part of it, the rest should be "donated to the treasury."

"Hmm? What does it mean?"

After joining the franchise, the bank counted more than 300 million yuan, which means that Yin Qingfeng had obtained more than 150 million yuan in money. If so much money was put in the past, he would have been jealous. Although he has a broad vision now, he will not be unmoved by these things.

Moreover, this kid said that he had a clear distinction between public and private affairs before, but now he thought about donating? Judging from the results of this franchise, he would donate at least 70 to 90 million yuan in money, so he would be willing to do so?

Yin Qingfeng said: "It's just a formality."

Li Shimin waited for him to continue.

"My nephew said before that he wanted to build roads. Now the money donated is also used to build roads. The reputation of building roads and bridges is too great, and it is not something that the Duke of Yun and his nephew can afford. Therefore, it must be carried out in the name of the royal family or the court."

Li Shimin nodded, acknowledging his wise approach.

"When people are poor, they are thinking about how to make money and save money. When they have enough money, they will think about how to use it.

The industry run by my nephew is too profitable. If you only keep it in your hands for your family to enjoy, it will definitely attract jealousy. Therefore, my nephew must take it out. This year's franchise bonus must be taken out, and future wine, tea, porcelain, etc. must also be taken out.

Of course, my nephew will not do the thing of "supreme's fight against migrants", so he also needs to use the royal family to build roads and bridges and other ways to use it."

Li Shimin gave Yin Qingfeng a high affirmation of his self-protection practice, and he was also much more at ease with Yin Qingfeng.

He was always wary of Yin Qingfeng's intentions for Li Tang.

"When it comes to road construction, your uncle Jin'an said that the current source of saltpeter is mainly from Hezhongfu. But the amount of sulfur... do you have a solution?"

China has extremely rich mineral resources of Glauber's salt, and its reserves are among the forefront in the world. For example, super-large deposits with reserves of more than one billion tons include Glauber's salt mine in Dalangtanliang, Mengya, Qinghai and Glauber's salt mine area in the jigou Glauber's salt mine area in Huzhu County. With current technology, it can't be dug for hundreds of years.

But sulfur is difficult to deal with.

China has few natural sulfur ores and is almost not mined. Domestic sulfur mainly comes from crude oil and sulfur recovered from natural gas. Fortunately, there is another mineral in the world called pyroferrous ore.

The pyrite industry calls it pyrite. Pure pyrite contains 40% iron and 53% sulfur. If Li Shimin gives several pyrite sites, it will not only solve the problem of sulfur, but also solve the situation of iron deficiency.

There are too many sulfides in the Xiaotieshan multi-metallic mining area in Baiyin City, Gansu, the Diaoyutai Pyrite Mine Area in Qibaoshan, Wulian County, Shandong, Fengfeng Pyrite Mine Area in Jiaozuo City, Henan, etc.

Of course, there are also natural sulfur mines, such as Zhoucun Mine Area in Jincheng City, Shanxi, Beiliu Mine Area in Yangcheng County, Shanxi, Zhujiazhuang Natural Sulfur Mine Area in Tai'an, Shandong, and Zhoujiahe Pioneer in Xingwen County, Sichuan.

However, with Li Shimin's reminder, Yin Qingfeng thought that China's iron ore basically contains sulfur or phosphorus. Before he "thinks" of sulfur removal and phosphorus removal, he could only provide natural sulfur ore to Li Shimin.

It is said that steel is the foundation and symbol of industry, but Yin Qingfeng really didn't have time to think about steelmaking. Fortunately, there is a god who makes a shield, so he can come up with a solution in a short time.

Speaking of phosphorus-containing iron ore, he also remembered that he needed a phosphorus ore.

This phosphate ore is neither used as fertilizer nor washing powder, but matches.
