I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

Huo Caiyu could see the tangled look on Li Jinyu's face, like a big kid playing a prank but no one got caught, so he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Unaware that his attitude towards Li Jinyu had inadvertently changed, Huo Caiyu straightened his face: "Since His Majesty asked Cao Min to guide His Majesty in calligraphy, Cao Min naturally needs to do their duty."

Seeing Li Jinyu walking to the case with great reluctance, Huo Caiyu pretended not to see the listless expression on Li Jinyu's face, bowed his head and began to explain the words.

A few days ago when he started teaching Li Jinyu the basic characters, he found that although this His Majesty was almost illiterate, he learned things extremely fast, not a mediocre talent, and even faster than ordinary people.

At least Huo Caiyu was not so efficient when he first learned characters.

The same is true for teaching today, Huo Caiyu wrote the characters twice by himself, and then asked Li Jinyu to copy them, and the general outline was already formed.

Of course, whether the handwriting looks good is another matter.

If Li Jinyu knew Huo Caiyu's inner sigh, he would definitely say: friend, do you know that there is interoperability between simplified and traditional?

After all, he is a sane goblin in modern society, and he has been kept in a human family. It would be too shameful if he didn't even know the words.

Now when learning traditional Chinese characters, you only need to compare them with simplified Chinese characters, and you will be able to memorize them quickly.

Naturally, Huo Caiyu didn't know about this matter. While being amazed by Li Jinyu's intelligence, he was also thinking about why Li Jinyu, an intelligent and normal emperor, had such a bad reputation of tyranny.

After teaching a class, Li Jinyu couldn't wait to take a step back, rubbed his face that was too rosy, and took a light breath: "I'm a little thirsty, let's rest first."

Huo Caiyu nodded and put down the pen.

The crispy peanuts, melon seeds, and walnuts specially provided by the emperor were brought up one by one, and Li Jinyu ate them with great relish.

Huo Caiyu looked at the foods that were particularly prone to anger, frowned, but still didn't say anything.

Li Jinyu ate a few peanuts, and when he saw Huo Caiyu motionless, he was a little embarrassed - this palace will be Huo Caiyu's property in the future, he lived there temporarily, but the future master didn't eat a single bite...

"Let's eat some together too."

Huo Caiyu was slightly stunned, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said lightly: "If you eat too much of these things, you will get angry, your majesty must control it."

Kang, the chief servant who was waiting on the sidelines, almost broke out in cold sweat when he heard this.

After Ping An was transferred to the imperial dining room, he was selected to serve beside Li Jinyu.Changkang had never dealt with Li Jinyu's version of Emperor Jingchang, and he only knew of their Majesty's previous temper - if anyone dared to make irresponsible remarks to His Majesty, it would be considered His Majesty's grace to drag him down on the spot and kill him with a cane.

Mr. Huo, relying on His Majesty's tolerance to act recklessly?

Chang Kang lowered his head unbearably, waiting for His Majesty's fury.

"I won't get angry, you don't have to worry." Li Jinyu nonchalantly grabbed a peanut and threw it into his mouth, feeling the crispy texture and fragrance of the crispy nuts popping between his teeth, he narrowed his eyes happily.

After eating one, Li Jinyu met Huo Caiyu's eyes, thought he understood Huo Caiyu's psychology, and pushed the plate with some pity, "You have a taste too."

The Huo family's family background is average, so Huo Caiyu probably hasn't even eaten peanuts and melon seeds?

Huo Caiyu looked down at the plate of peanuts, but reached out and took one without eating it.

Li Jinyu turned his head just in time to meet Chang Kang's eyes widened in surprise, and blinked, "You want to eat too?"

Changkang came back to his senses, and hurriedly lowered his head: "I dare not!"

——What Ping An told himself was not nonsense?

——Your Majesty can really tolerate Mr. Huo so far?

……

After eating snacks, Li Jinyu saw that Huo Caiyu was about to start teaching again, so he quickly asked his own question: "How do you think about those notebooks yesterday?"

Huo Caiyu frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Li Jinyu meant: "Caomin is teaching His Majesty the words in those scriptures."

"It's not this!" Li Jinyu persuasively said, "After reading those scriptures, you don't have any ideas?"

What about your best strategies for governing the country?Take it out soon?I will help you implement it immediately!

Huo Caiyu saw the expectation in Li Jinyu's eyes, but he didn't understand where that expectation came from.

He had impulsively denounced the government before jumping onto His Majesty's dragon chariot at the Dihua Festival, which did mention tax-related issues.But that was just his superficial opinion. After actually reading these tax papers, he discovered the complexity inside.

He was silent for a moment, and finally opened his mouth: "Nowadays, there are many and varied tax items, such as poll tax, spring seedling tax, autumn harvest tax, land tax, salt tax, etc. The people work hard all year round, and most of their income is paid. , life is extremely difficult.”

"Yeah." Li Jinyu's eyes brightened, "Go on."

"The wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the roads are frozen to death. If you want to solve these problems, you need to severely rectify the official tax system." Huo Caiyu couldn't help gritting his teeth when he thought of the poor life of the soldiers and civilians at the border, "Don't give it to corrupt officials to take advantage of it." chance."

Chang Kang on the side was sweating profusely, and even wanted to quit immediately, lest he hear something he shouldn't have heard.

His Majesty is actually discussing national policy with Mr. Huo, a commoner!Shouldn't such matters be discussed with the prime minister in private and avoid servants?

Li Jinyu wished that Huo Caiyu could spit out the words in one breath, but Huo Caiyu only threw out one sentence in the end: "Caomin has not yet had a perfect plan."

When he was thinking alone before, he did have some immature ideas; now it seems that those ideas are too theoretical, and I am afraid that they need to be perfected before they can be used.

Huo Caiyu slightly raised his head and glanced at Li Jinyu, noticing the obvious disappointment on his face, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart again:

Could it be that His Majesty really forced himself to stay because he believed that his policy was feasible after he made a statement?

But why was he given a cane first?

If you didn't like him, why did you provide memorials, documents, and law volumes so diligently for him to study?

Huo Caiyu pursed his lips, his eyes darkened a little, recalling the pain of being hit by the imperial staff and the suffering in the inner prison.

Li Jinyu lowered his head, thinking about how to squeeze out Huo Caiyu's policies in the original book.

At that time, it will be carried out directly in the name of Huo Caiyu, and Huo Caiyu's reputation will be well earned - and compared with the deeds of a tyrant with such a bad record, the people and ministers will know who they will choose, right?

Eliminating the steps of fighting in all directions not only saves time, but also saves war casualties!

What a little genius he is!

……

Li Jinyu thought deeply about why Huo Caiyu refused to confess his policies to himself.

Maybe it’s because he didn’t want to confess to him as a tyrant after being tortured once; maybe he felt that he was rotten and unworthy of carrying out the New Deal…

Li Jinyu sighed again: It would be great if he crossed over earlier—at least he could listen to Huo Caiyu's impassioned speech at the Dihua Festival!

The original book is just a novel, not a great work of historical research. It only briefly explained the concept of Huo Caiyu's policy, but did not mention how to implement it in detail!

After thinking about it, Li Jinyu felt that Huo Caiyu didn't trust him enough, and felt that he would never follow his advice.

There's no way around this, if he wants to increase his hatred, of course he can't take the route of loving each other with Huo Caiyu...

Li Jinyu was biting a walnut shell on the dragon bed, intending to show his sincerity to Huo Caiyu.

I heard that there is an ancient poem about the king's sincere treatment of his subordinates. There is a sentence like "I and the general untie the battle robes" or something... Treat each other honestly and have a long talk all night, it is very stylish!

So Huo Caiyu got an emperor who only came in his coat that night.

Huo Caiyu has been looking at the documents sent by Li Jinyu's envoy for the past two days.

These documents were collected by Li Jinyu from the prime minister and the palace based on the contents of the original works, and they were all reports and laws about the taxation of the Dadi Dynasty.

Huo Caiyu used to read a lot of books when he was at home, but after all, it is not as detailed as the court center, and he has been absorbing new knowledge.

It was not the first time Li Jinyu came to look for him at night, Huo Caiyu didn't feel too surprised.

I thought that this time His Majesty was just staying in the same room with him as before, but this time Li Jinyu went directly to his bed.

Huo Caiyu recalled the way Li Jinyu blushed at her frequently before, and somehow felt a little strange. He secretly grabbed the quilt with all his might, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?"

Li Jinyu tugged the quilt twice, and didn't care, he sat down on Huo Caiyu's lap carelessly: "After much deliberation, I still want to have a good chat with Huo Aiqing."

Huo Caiyu lowered his eyes and tightened his fingers slightly: "What do you want to talk about, Your Majesty?"

"It was the first time I came into contact with the government, and I thought that I would at least do something to live up to the expectations of my ancestors and the prime minister; however, my ability is limited and I can't do anything, so I feel ashamed."

As soon as Li Jinyu said this, he saw Huo Caiyu's face change subtly, and he murmured in his heart: Why, doesn't Huo Caiyu eat this?

He thought for a long time before he came up with this set of rhetoric!

On the one hand, he confessed that he wanted Huo Caiyu's tricks, and on the other hand, he showed his incompetence!

After a long time, Huo Caiyu slowly opened his mouth: "Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people, and the grassroots can only see that the current taxation problem of the imperial court is caused by various patterns and no clear vision; if you want to solve it, you can solve it from the taxation items Let's get started..."

He wanted to say that after reading the book for the past two days, he could only think of listing taxes as items and setting up two systems for tax collection and supervision to reduce opportunities for corrupt officials to take advantage of them.

It's just that these systems may not exist in the Dadi Dynasty, and they cannot be implemented.

Seeing that Huo Caiyu let go, Li Jinyu blurted out the praise that had been hovering in his heart ahead of time: "Huo Aiqing is indeed a genius, he can come up with such a wonderful idea as 'a whip'!"

He had read the original book, and from Huo Caiyu's words, he heard the shadow of the later "one whip method".

Huo Caiyu was slightly taken aback: "One whip?"

Seeing Huo Caiyu "playing stupid", Li Jinyu couldn't wait to say: "Isn't it just converting all the grain, cotton, etc. into cash! Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand you!"

Today's Di Dynasty collects taxes, most of which are collected in kind - spring seedlings are taxed for grain, and cotton wool is taxed for cotton.

The tax official said that your urn of grain is only worth a penny, so you can only hold your nose and admit it.Not enough tax?Go back and pull it.

If only cash is collected when tax is collected, the common people will have to sell their own food items first. Even though it is more troublesome than before, the amount of tax to be paid is determined, and there is no need to worry about it for a year after a whip is passed.At the same time, it can also greatly promote the circulation of commerce and make the flow of money and goods among the people "live".

This is one of the new policies implemented by Huo Caiyu after he ascended the throne in the original book.

The more Huo Caiyu thinks about it now, the more he feels that this method is wonderful to deal with the current tax deficit, as if it has cleared up all his complicated and chaotic clues at once, and he has unparalleled approval.

Huo Caiyu's heart was turbulent, and the way he looked at Li Jinyu completely changed.

He was sure that what he had just said did not convey this meaning.

Huo Caiyu tentatively asked: "This method sounds very good, can you explain it in detail?"

Li Jinyu thought that Huo Caiyu was asking himself to talk about his feelings, and poured out some of the content mentioned in the original book like beans, mixed with compliments on Huo Caiyu, so Huo Caiyu must feel his sincerity.

With the improvement of many details, Huo Caiyu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he became more and more convinced that if this strategy can be implemented, it will definitely bring benefits to the people!

——Such a brilliant idea, did His Majesty come up with it himself?
