An imperial proclamation was known all over the city, and the people gathered around to check, but most of them were illiterate, and at this time, an old man walked forward with squinted eyes.
"Old Xiucai, look at what is written on the emperor's list?" asked a burly-looking strong man.
The old man stared at it carefully for a while, rubbed his eyes again and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty has actually exempted the tax for one year! Now the livelihood of the people of Datang has improved a lot, if it is exempted for one year, won't the Datang treasury have to lose countless losses! Not to mention that it is still expanding externally, this is not good, this is not a burden to Datang."
Lao Xiucai's words provoked the people around him to say again and again: "Lao Xiucai is right, Your Majesty has let us all live a good life, now we are well fed, warmly dressed, and now we are not short of money, this tax is what our people are willing to pay, let's go to the palace gate to protest together." The
general guard smiled and said: "I've seen this protest tax increase, but I'm so big with tax exemption, it's the first time I've seen it, you don't have to protest, how will I treat
you" Lao Xiucai said with a skeptical face: "No, let's go by ourselves, in case you don't report it, then Your Majesty doesn't know the psychology of our people, don't you, folks, let's go to the gate of the palace by ourselves to reason."
The butcher replied: "What Lao Xiucai said is very reasonable, let's follow him
" Seeing this, the guard shook his head and said: "Then you go, I'll go back to the palace to report it" As he spoke, he ran to the palace.
Li Shimin was chatting with Empress Changsun in the garden: "Guanyin, how happened to Qixi and Allure recently, Su Yan is not here, your sister has to take good care of them" Empress Changsun
said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you have said it more than ten times, Lizhi still stays there every day, and almost all the experienced grandmothers in the palace have been taken away."
Li Shimin laughed, and didn't mind at all: "This little girl, but her heart is really on Su Yan's side, she has been like this since she was a child, and I don't know what charm Su Yan has, but it's a pity that my little padded jacket
" "Your Majesty, the guards of the outer city will come to report" Li Junxian entered the garden road.
Li Shimin was slightly stunned, at this time, what will he do in the future.
The "Xuan
" guard quickly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor's list is pasted, and the city is boiling, and now it is gathering outside the palace."
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Tell the people, you don't need to thank you, it's all what I should do
" The guard wanted to speak and stopped, Li Shimin frowned and said: "What, are the people still dissatisfied, isn't this a little greedy?" The guard
made a report: "Your Majesty, the people are here to protest, but not to protest that there is less tax exemption, but they feel that they should not be exempt from taxes, and now the Tang Dynasty is still fighting foreign wars, they are living very rich, and they don't want the court to lose, I hope Your Majesty can take back your life."
Li Shimin stood up in shock, this kind of thing was unheard of, and then laughed and said: "Looking at the past dynasties, who can make the people love me so much, go, let's go to see our people in person." Empress
Changsun also smiled and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have achieved great deeds through the ages, far surpassing the Qin Emperor and Han Wu!" Li
Shimin smiled even more: "Let's go, Guanyin, this is the day of the tuba!" On
the square outside the imperial city, more and more people gathered, and the ministers also rushed over, originally thinking that it was a rebellion, but they were also surprised to learn that it was such a thing.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun walked out quickly, and before they could speak, the people knelt down and said: "I hope Your Majesty will take back your life, we really can't afford to use it, Datang has paid too much for us, if we are still so greedy, we are really ashamed!" Li Shimin
looked at his people and said: "People, get up quickly, come on, quickly help the people up." Then he continued: "I didn't tell you the reason for my negligence, this time I conquered the Sun Country, found gold and silver mines, and the treasury was full, so I removed your taxes
" Lao Xiucai stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, how can the treasury be enough, if you can't fit it, it's good to build one more from an early age, but the Tang Dynasty has been fighting for years, let the soldiers eat better, let them dress better, it's enough, we eat well now, dress well, you see, my little old man has gained a lot of weight!"
Li Shimin looked at
Lao Xiucai and said: "Old man, life is really so good now, don't hide it from me, tell the truth!" Lao Xiucai pulled the lining on his body and said: "Your Majesty, look at it, don't look at the old old man wearing old clothes on the outside, there are good silk inside, it's not that I'm afraid of being robbed, I have already worn it outside." The
butcher smiled and said: "I said, old Xiucai, it stands to reason that you are teaching, how can you be so shabby, so it is"
Li Shimin was puzzled: "Why, there are still robbers in Datang?
The
butcher hurriedly explained.
Li Shimin said with confidence: "Now you want me to withdraw the will, right?" Everyone
replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, we don't
need it" "Well, I am not hypocritical, this will is withdrawn, start another, in the future, the old man and the child do not need to spend money to go to the Datang Medical Center, all of them will be borne by Datang, and when the treasury will be enriched in the future, the people of Chang'an will not need to spend money on medical treatment."
Li Shimin was not stingy and said, his own people gave face like this, how could he bear to let them suffer!
The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, such a strange thing, should the painter paint it
, this can be said to be the first time in the world, and the people's aspirations!" I have to say that the eldest grandson Wuji is one of the people who know Li Shimin best, and he can't hide this little bit of caution, Li Shimin pretended to refuse, and the joy between his eyebrows could not be hidden.
The hundred officials are also shrewd people, and immediately knelt down and said: "Please Your Majesty, agree to our request, let the painter paint
, and pass it on through the ages!" Li Shimin hesitated again: "Forget it, what kind of system is this!" Empress
Changsun knew that this was her Erlang's best move, and she would not pull down the historian's handle if she didn't do it for three, so she attached herself:" Your Majesty, this is a request from the people and ministers, please look at their faces, and agree, I believe that the historian will be happy to do so.
Li Shimin nodded in agreement: "Since everyone said so, then I am also disrespectful, come and stand behind me, and we will record this moment together." The
painter has already been called by the eldest grandson Wuji, just waiting for Li Shimin to agree, more than a dozen painters in the palace painted together, and the scene in the square outside the palace was very spectacular, and everyone showed the most sincere smile.
