He is the emperor of the world, after he abdicates, he can become the lord of the heavenly palace.

It's not wrong to think so.

Compared with longevity, compared with the honor of the future lord of the heavenly palace, the emperor, the wealth and honor in the world are nothing.

According to Jiang Chi, the Heavenly Emperor is the ruler of the Three Realms, the supreme being.

It would be a lie to say that Li Er had no interest at all.

But Li Er, who had other thoughts, had to calm down now, and said to Wang De next to him, "Have all the people I asked you to invite arrived?"

Wang De immediately nodded and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, all the lords and the rest of the lords are already waiting outside the palace, do you want the servants to bring them in?"

Without Li Er's order, he actually didn't dare to bring anyone in.

This is the rule.

Li Er's eyes were slightly ponderous, and he said: "Since they have already come, let's bring them all in."

Maybe it's time for him to do something else, too.

The reform is imperative and must continue, "Otherwise, when the national power of the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, we don't know when it will happen.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I should also contribute my greatest strength to this country, and even more should set a benchmark for the country. "

In fact, the most fundamental thing is lack of money.

He has no money to do things now, so he has no money to do more things, such as building Taoist palaces and so on.

This kind of thing should have been done by him.

But in the end, he had to let a few confidant ministers under him do it, and Li Er felt helpless every time he thought about it.

There is no way.

What can he do.

"That's it."

Li Er sighed softly, "Right now, I should work hard to promote reforms first. Those people with five surnames and seven wangs must not make them feel better. In the end, the Great Tang is my Great Tang."

He also wishes Datang well.

"Yes."

Wang De immediately responded and said respectfully: "Slave, please go and invite the ministers outside."

Li Erruo nodded.

After a while.

All the ministers and princes have arrived.

"I am waiting to meet your Majesty."

Civil servants headed by Changsun Wuji, military generals headed by Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and Li Jing also appeared immediately.

He saluted Li Er respectfully.

After Jiang Xiao's incident, they didn't have much interest in these matters in the court.

If he can become the god of ghosts and gods, who cares about the wealth and honor of this mere human being.

After all, it is possible to live forever.

Wealth and honor in the world are nothing more than the moon in the mirror, or duckweed without roots. Once an accident occurs, nothing will be left.

Even though they all knew that people with five surnames and seven wangs were powerful, they were actually not as strong as Jiang Chi.

As long as you hold this thigh tightly, it is the most important thing, and they can exist forever.

Otherwise, life and death are only in the blink of an eye.

However, after thinking about Jiang Xiao's previous order, these ministers all said: "I don't know if your majesty asked the minister to come over, what is the so-called?"

As long as they have an idea, they will definitely not refuse.

Li Er said lightly: "This time I asked you to come here, but I am still not sure about one thing, I hope you can help me discuss it in detail.

Although the theory of ghosts and gods is no longer a legend, the national teacher has ordered before that the mortal world is the root, and you must also know it.

Therefore, there must be no loss in the Tang Dynasty, which is thousands of miles away, and I hope that you will prepare together with me, so that the world can be peaceful and peaceful. "

Everyone: "..."

After hearing His Majesty Li Er's words, they were all stunned. Changsun Wuji asked on behalf of everyone: "Your Majesty, I don't know what to do, but if there is a need, I will definitely do my best. I will live up to Your Majesty's kindness of knowledge."

It's almost a guarantee.

Datang still needs to rely on them to govern, and they need to assist Li Er together.

Otherwise, relying on those people with five surnames and seven looks, the world will definitely be in chaos.

Because of the miraculous existence of ghosts and gods like Jiang Que, and the existence of the way of longevity, Li Er is not afraid of resistance from people with five surnames and seven Wangs. He can ignore everything with Jiang Que around.

It's a big deal to overthrow and start over.

As long as he can live forever, Li Er has enough time and strength to suppress others.

There will not be enough people with five surnames and seven looks at that time.

Thinking about it this way, he was much more relaxed.

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er said: "Everyone, I plan to collect commercial tax and sell it by refining sea salt. This industry will be owned by the country. In addition, you should discuss the re-establishment of the Salt Tax Department and the establishment of the Commercial Tax Department Yamen to take charge of this matter." .”

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, although this reform method is good, the policy of commercial taxation can also be regarded as a good policy for governing the country, but there is one thing that is different. Your Majesty needs to understand it carefully."

"What?" Li Er asked curiously.

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling continued: "My Majesty, no one has dared to collect commercial taxes since ancient times. The interests of merchants are sufficient. Does Your Majesty think that no one in the previous dynasties really thought of collecting commercial taxes.

In fact, it's not that I couldn't think of it, but that I didn't dare to charge it.

The benefits that businessmen earn every time are huge, and the profits are sufficient, which few people can compare with. "

"You mean to say that the collection of commercial taxes will be a big obstacle."

Li Erdao: "I've already thought of what you're thinking. Every chamber of commerce has officials at all levels behind it, and there are also major families behind it. The power is huge and intricate.

It stands to reason that I shouldn't collect commercial tax at this time, after all, it will touch everyone's interests, but the national teacher has already suggested to me, first try it in Chang'an City for three months.

Moreover, all major shops in Chang'an City are not allowed to raise prices, otherwise they will be punished directly.

In addition, don't be sloppy with me about the shops in your hands, otherwise I can forgive him here, and the national teacher will not forgive him.

Commercial tax must be charged.

Regarding the matter of salt, I intend to let you several leaders manage it together. Anyone who dares to disturb or stop it will be killed without mercy.

People with five surnames and seven wangs will definitely come out to make trouble. The generals must be prepared to suppress them at any time, and the national division will also support everyone. "

Everyone: "..."

Li Er's words made the faces of the princes present sink, and Du Rumei said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing I want to make clear. Although the commercial and tax matters will affect the shops of our ministers present, it is for the benefit of the country. We will definitely support the affairs of the people.

However, Your Majesty should also know that other people may not think so if the ministers are loyal to His Majesty and the country.

People with five surnames and seven Wangs control the scholars in the world. The families and forces behind them have shops all over the world. Once His Majesty wants to collect business taxes, I'm afraid it will cause disaster. "

At this moment.

Even Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, once the commercial tax is collected, people of five surnames and seven Wangs will definitely be shocked. When they control the scene behind the scenes, they may be able to paralyze the whole world."

"Your Majesty, once the market strikes..."

Li Jing also frowned and said: "Things may be very troublesome. When the time comes, the world will be in chaos. With the five surnames and seven looking at the people controlled by those people, things may be a little..."

They are worried.

In case this strategy attracts a series of reactions, it may not be a good thing for Datang today.

They couldn't help worrying.

Naturally, Li Er had thought of these things a long time ago, and he happened to have such fears in the past.

But now there is no such fear.

Li Er said: "I have naturally thought of these things that you love, I am not afraid of chaos in the world, but I am afraid that those people with five surnames and seven wangs will compromise.

With the help of the national teachers, I am not afraid of them.

So what if it's messed up?

Once the national teacher makes a move, another hundred or ten people with five surnames and seven Wangs will not be enough to watch.

The big deal is to start over. "

Ministers: "..."

They all suddenly forgot one thing, and that was the existence of Jiang Xiao.

Once this national teacher makes a move, all those people in the world will become nothing but loess.

Do people with five surnames and seven wangs dare to mess up?

Dare to strike?

Maybe there are a few people who really dare not understand, but since Jiang Chi, the national teacher, has given so many ideas to His Majesty Li Er, he will naturally not ignore them.

With this relationship in it, the reform will naturally continue to advance.

I don't think I will encounter too much resistance.

In this way, the matter will become much simpler, Li Er couldn't help muttering: "If anyone opposes me at this critical moment, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I dare not wait."

Everyone quickly responded, how dare they accept Li Er's words.

They were already terrified and terrified. His Majesty Li Er's words just now had already opened the skylight to them.

Says it all.

Now that it has been explained, no matter whether it is these dignified princes with status or status, or those ordinary civil and military ministers, there is not much else to say now.

"With the help of the national teacher, I am not afraid of those people of five surnames and seven wangs, even if they go on strike. The only thing I am afraid of is their obedience. In that case, even I can't find a reason to deal with them."

Once those people with five surnames and seven surnames hide, once they move closer to Jiang Chi, they might be able to replace him and Li Er.

But for Jiang Xiao, Li Er is dispensable, and maybe he will be replaced at a critical moment.

When the time comes, he won't be able to find a place to cry, so he is not afraid of resistance from people of five surnames and seven wangs, but he is afraid that they will not resist.

Then what would you become.

Everyone: "..."

Now they finally understand that His Majesty Li Er's confidence comes from here, and his idea is indeed good.

Relying on Jiang Chi, the master of the national teacher, he will definitely be able to solve the problem at the critical moment, and they will not know how they died at that time.

Thinking of this, they laughed wryly. In vain they felt that His Majesty Li Er really wanted to discuss things with them. Now it seems that Li Er had already thought about it. What he said just now was his plan, but it was also for them.

It counts as an order.

hiss……

Thinking of this, the ministers present couldn't help but secretly startled. No wonder His Majesty Li Er dared to speak out in such an upright manner. It turned out that he had the confidence.

Everything is in his calculations.

In this way, how else to act.

After the last calculation, I can only believe what Li Er said, after all, Jiang Xiao also confessed to them.

It is not difficult to make Datang rich. The five surnames and seven wangs used to be the biggest resistance, but it is not necessarily the case now.

That being the case, they could only follow Li Er's words.

So ever.

They all started talking.

"Your Majesty, if the National Teacher will also take action, then whether it is collecting business taxes or salt taxes, there are actually guarantees. As Your Majesty said, if those people really dare to take risks at this critical moment Come out to stop them, then maybe they should be gone."

"From this point of view, the collection of this commercial tax should be much smoother. Your Majesty can carry out a trial run in Chang'an City for three months before implementing it in other places."

"That's right, this will only be of great benefit to our Tang Dynasty. After all, we can do more things if we have money."
