Gu Xiaomao's dream is so simple, so simple that Li Zexuan can help him realize it immediately with just a few words of his mouth; but at the same time, his dream is so difficult, so difficult that even an ordinary person cannot achieve it even if he is extremely poor. A small goal in his dreams~!

"Xiao Mao, I have a long-term errand here, the more you don't want to do it~?"

Li Zexuan did not directly give Gu Xiaomao a large sum of money to directly realize his dream, nor did he remain indifferent and let him realize his dream. As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. Li Zexuan helped Gu Xiaomao choose a successful shortcut.

Gu Xiaomao was stunned for a moment, and then said very excitedly: "Master, you said~! I'm definitely willing to do it~!"

Li Zexuan couldn't help laughing and said: "You promised so decisively, you are not afraid that I will let you do murder and arson~?"

Gu Xiaomao grinned and said, "Hey~! Look at what you said, master, how could a person with a good heart like you let me do that murder and arson~?"

Li Zexuan laughed and said, "Hehe~! Since that's the case, then I'll tell you about this errand~! There will be more and more students in the Yanhuang Academy, Xiao Mao, you can open a shop in the academy, ah, no, yes Open a shop selling snacks, and the monthly surplus will definitely be enough for you to realize your dream~!"

Above the court, the morning court is in full swing at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the autumn harvest is over now. According to the reports from the prefectures and counties near Chang'an City, this year's harvest is not good~! The harvest in most places has decreased by about 20%, and the harvest in some places has even decreased compared to last year. 30 to 40%, so after the people have finished paying their food, the food left in their hands may not be able to support the next year~!”

Fang Xuanling stood in front of the team and bowed to Li Er to report.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whisper of "humming" in the hall. In this era of relying on the sky, food is the lifeblood of a country. This is a fragile and sensitive nerve, and no one will ignore it. .

Li Er, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help his heart sinking when he heard the words. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of Li Zexuan's locust plague language~!

The reduction in food production, coupled with the locust plague, it is difficult for Li Er to imagine how devastating the Tang Dynasty would be if it did not prepare in advance~!

"Then order the states and counties to exempt 20% of the tax from the common people~!"

Li Er was silent for a while, and then ordered in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible~!"

An old man who was nearly half a hundred years old quickly stepped forward when he heard the words and retorted: "Although His Majesty's move can ease the pain of the people, it is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst~! If all localities follow His Majesty's will, it will inevitably lead to officials in various states and counties. The warehouse is dissatisfied with the grain collection, and in the event of a natural disaster of famine, the state capitals will face a situation where there is no food available, and they can only wait for the rescue of the imperial court~!"

The person who spoke was Xiao Yu~!

"Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks this is inappropriate~!"

As soon as Xiao Yu's voice fell, Wei Zheng also stepped forward and said: "Forgive the old minister to say bluntly, His Majesty's move can only solve the problems of a small number of people, and most of the rest of the people rely on wealthy and wealthy families. I can't feel the favor~!"

Obviously, the old troll Wei Zheng had already realized some loopholes and shortcomings of the land-equalization system in the Tang Dynasty, but he could not come up with a more perfect and reasonable land system.

"My minister agrees~!"

"The old minister also agrees~!"

In a short time, two or three ministers came forward to express their second opinion.

Li Er frowned and said: "This move is not to drink poison to quench thirst, but to balance it~! All the ministers may have forgotten, count the days, within a month, the fleet that went south should return with a full load. With the grain brought back by the fleet, all parts of Datang will no longer be short of grain~!"

The ministers were shocked, they really forgot about this~!

"But Your Majesty..."

Fang Xuanling thought about it, and finally felt that relying on a fleet with unknown harvests was unreliable. He opened his mouth and wanted to refute again, but Li Er waved his hand and interrupted:

"Fang Aiqing doesn't need to say more, I have made up my mind. Instead of collecting more grain and grass, causing famine in various places, and the court allocating grain again, it is better to leave it to the people, and the tossing of the province will cause a lot of waste~!"

In this way, Li Er made a final decision. This year, the taxation ratio of each state and county will be reduced by 20%. The news came out and the whole country rejoiced.

………………

"Oh~? 20% tax reduction~? What is your majesty thinking~?"

Li Zexuan, who was in Yanhuang Academy, received the news that afternoon. Like Fang Xuanling, he also felt that Li Er's move was tantamount to drinking poison to quench his thirst~!

The land tax system has existed in China for more than 2,000 years, and it was not abolished until more than 50 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This shows how deeply the ruling group relied on land taxation. With the current economic level of the Tang Dynasty, it was immediately reduced or exempted by two. It becomes a land tax, this is cutting meat and playing with fire~!

How dare Li Er dare to play like this~?

"This... Ma can't guess what His Majesty's intention is~! But this move can be regarded as alleviating the urgent needs of the people, and it is a test for the disaster-bearing capacity of the prefectures in various places~!"

Ma Zhou sat opposite Li Zexuan and pondered upon hearing the words.

"Forget it, don't think about it~! By the way, Brother Ma, how is the expansion of the workshop~?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Zexuan didn't think of anything.

I forgot about the large fleet going south before), he suddenly remembered the new venue of the workshop, and asked.

In order to expand the scale, Li Zexuan originally planned to relocate the workshop to Mei Village, but in the early stage, due to the lack of funds for the construction of the academy, Li Zexuan asked Fu Bo to suspend the plan. After earning a lot of money, the financial crisis was quickly eased, and the workshop expansion and relocation plan was restarted. Ma Zhou and Fu Bo have also been busy with this matter in the past few months.

"Sir, all the venues for the new workshop have been arranged. According to your wishes, it was built by the river~! Now the interior has basically been set up, and production can start at any time~!"

Ma Zhou replied with a smile.

"Hmm~!"

Li Zexuan nodded, feeling a little at ease. He has been too busy these past few months, and he must not be able to do everything. Fortunately, these people around him can be in charge of themselves a lot of the time.

"If that's the case, then Brother Ma will be tired in the future. You have to take care of both the "Datang Daily" and the academy's affairs~!"

Li Zexuan said with emotion.

Ma Zhou smiled helplessly and said, "Sir, Ma told you before~! I'm not expected to be a gentleman, but you..."
