Your idea is to divide my Tang Dynasty tax into two?" Uncle Li seemed to have thought about it, but he had never done it or considered this matter. Therefore, everything turned into a ball of mucus in his head, and I needed to clarify his clues.

Uncle Li is very open-minded, and more importantly, he is very wise. He was the first emperor in the Tang Dynasty to emphasize both agriculture, industry and commerce, and advocate and promote commerce. He also did it. His eyes were very agile and he could easily grasp the key points and centers for new things. After all, the Tang Dynasty Military Academy made the system of separation of soldiers and generals that Uncle Li had always had a headache about. Although this goal was still far away, it would take at least five to ten years, Uncle Li could

Grasp the key and dare to use a talented person who is unparalleled, that is, I, my son, boldly delegated power, so that today, the Tang Military Academy has gradually become the place of promotion that the Tang soldiers long for. Unlike in the past, they need superiors to recommend it. This not only prevents the emergence of warlord factions and the prominence of the warlord factions, but more importantly, it strengthens the loyalty of generals and officials at all levels to the Tang Dynasty, so that they understand that they eat the Tang Dynasty's food, and are the Tang Dynasty's soldiers, not the private soldiers of someone.

In addition, the establishment of the Jinzou Academy has achieved great results in the timely acquisition of military, people's livelihood and property information between the Tang Dynasty and the timely acquisition of domestic and foreign military, people's livelihood and property information. This time, in the battle against Goguryeo, in addition to the firearms developed by the Wushu Academy, which exerted great power and made the Tang army destroy cities and villages without any effort, it was also suitable for the Jinzou Academy to draw precise and meticulous military maps. In addition, a large amount of detailed information was given to the timely feedback of the Tang Dynasty's military's senior management at the command level.

Not only that, if it weren't for the tight monitoring of Tubo by Jinzouyuan, it would be very likely that Uncle Li would still be immersed in the dream of never disturbing his father-in-law and son-in-law's country. All of this proved that Uncle Li's foresight and outstanding knowledge was beyond the reach of ordinary people. I dare say that without Li Shimin, there would be no prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty today.

I looked at Uncle Li and said sincerely: "My father-in-law, the main thing that my son-in-law wants to say is that the population will not automatically decrease, it will increase, and it will increase very quickly. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were only three million households in the Tang Dynasty. But what about now? In the past thirty years, the number of households has increased by no less than 500,000 households. This is what the son-in-law saw when he was sorting out documents for his father. The current population is much higher than when the previous emperor was in power. I believe that Your Majesty also knows that the court's control over land annexation is not very strict."

Uncle Li sneered a few times and sighed softly, "Is it not just a lack of control? Is it useful to me to weep with all my heart and soul, and to try my best to find ways? No, because what I touched is not only the interests of all officials, but also the interests of the foundation of my Tang Dynasty rule. Not to mention anything else, who is not a thousand hectares of fertile land in the court? So I know very well that land annexation can only be delayed and it is impossible to stop."

"So my father-in-law, then the population increases and land annexes are becoming more and more intense. A large number of people have no food and clothing, or rely on the landlords and become tenants, and some of them will flow from the countryside to the city. I dare to assert that over time, this trend will become more obvious. How to properly resettle these populations from the countryside to the city can be said to be related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty." I stood up and put my hands behind my back, and expressed my serious expression. This is a painful lesson worth pondering in all dynasties. But the problem is that the art of scholastic farmers, industry and commerce that they established was the key to the scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, and light industry and low business, which was the obstacle to preventing society from progressing from the farming society to the industrial and commercial society.

"Since the court has no good plans and will rule and will restrict the landowner's land annexation behavior, otherwise this trend will be unstoppable, but doing so will also cause social instability. The large number of workshops run by merchants can effectively absorb these people and thus silently resolve such contradictions." After saying this in one breath, seeing Uncle Li tilting his head and looking at me, he smiled embarrassedly: "Is this too worrying for the son-in-law?"

Uncle Li smiled, picked up the wine cup and toasted me, and then drank it all. He stroked the wine stains on his short beard and shook his head: "It's okay, you just say that, anyway, this is our husband and son-in-law chatting in private, I won't blame you."

"That's that's it." I laughed dryly. Although Uncle Li said this, it meant that he had promised me. However, Uncle Li's specialist recording staff at the side ignored these things and continued to splash ink wildly. Seeing this, I couldn't help but have a cold war.

"First of all, we must first analyze the rent-in-measure regulating. What is rent-in-measure regulating? What is its advantages and disadvantages? This, hehe..." I scratched my head and decided to give in. The national tax system formulated by Uncle Li himself is the one who knows the pros and cons of it. There is no one else except Uncle Li.

"You kid, do you want me to say something? Look at your scratching look, hahaha." Uncle Li laughed. This is simply wrongful. I just let Uncle Li, the imperialist leader, have an opportunity to show off his knowledge and wealth, so as not to stop the old hooligan from sitting for a long time and becoming impatient and too lazy to listen to me after finishing my business. Wouldn't it be a big loss?

Uncle Li stood up, shook the front of the yellow robe and smiled: "The rent-in-one system is a tax and service system based on the equal-land system. This system stipulates that any household with equal-land households, regardless of the amount of land they have given, will pay a fixed amount of tax and serve a certain amount of labor service according to the principal. Its content is: Each principal will pay two stones of grain to the state every year, which is called rent; pay two zhang silk, three thighs of cotton, two thighs or three thighs of cloth, and three kilograms of marijuana, which is called a condition;"

"Twenty days of labor service are the main service. If the country does not need its service, each commission can be used to replace the service according to the standard of paying three feet of silk or three feet, seven inches and five cents of cloth every day. This is called "Meng", also called "losing mediocre service". If the country needs to serve, if the 15 days of additional service is exempted from the adjustment of each commission, and if the additional service is thirty days, the rent will be exempted from the adjustment. If there are serious natural disasters such as flood and drought, the loss of more than four tenths of crops will be exempted from rent, the loss of more than six tenths of the losses will be exempted from adjustment, and the loss of more than seven tenths of the taxes will be exempted from taxes."

"What do you mean? What is mediocre mean? "I understand. It seems that the agricultural tax can be done in some ways, which is corvee. This is the tax that has scared the people the most in the past dynasties. The demise of the Qin and Sui dynasties was largely due to corvee. The early Tang Dynasty stipulated that silk could be paid instead of corvee.

Uncle Li nodded in praise: "Haha, it is precisely this principle. I know that the destruction of the Sui Dynasty is here, so I thought of this method. In addition, you discussed with me to take prisoners to bring labor service and free the people from labor service. This makes me see this clearly from another perspective."

"My father-in-law is indeed wise, but Your Majesty, this must be maintained. In this way, leaving the people without servitude will not only reduce the burden on the people, but also make the people devote themselves to farming." I said with conscience.

"But the son-in-law has a question, what about the handicraftsmen and merchants?"

Uncle Li stroking his beard: "All handicraftsmen need to serve tens of days of labor service every year, or work in the workshops in the court."

"Then the son-in-law is a little confused." I touched my nose: "There are not less than a thousand craftsmen in the Wuyan Institute now, so why don't they go home to do things? Wouldn't that mean that there is no food or rice in their homes to eat?"

Uncle Li rolled his eyes to me: "Barring! Can I do the thing of killing chickens and getting eggs? They are doing things for the country, and I pay money for silk. In this way, doing things for the country will also get the money to support my family, just like you and your father are receiving the country's salary."

Well, I understand a little, but it's still not very comprehensive. I thought, and Uncle Li saw that I had not improved for the time being, so he squatted aside and continued to drink.

Cleared his throat and took a big sip of wine to continue my thoughts: "Then, my son-in-law thinks the best way is to take it in two steps. The first step is to collect two taxes and two taxes."

"Two taxes and two taxes?" Uncle Li nodded slightly and signaled me to continue to explain my point of view. "First, what are two taxes? First, under the equal land system, the state's levy on renting, corvee labor is mainly based on the Ding body; the two tax rules are mainly based on the amount of land. The land tax in the two taxes is to collect millet for a mu. Although household taxes are based on assets, land is an important part of the assets, so it is mainly based on land."
