The sixth update is here. I have been trying to make monthly tickets. Brothers, please support me if you have tickets! Today is the sixth update!

Chang'an.

Chang'an in July is much hotter than Hanjing. Li Shimin wore a short double-breasted jacket, loose shorts underneath, a pair of herringbone-shaped wooden bottoms on his feet, and a sweat towel around his neck.

"It's really hot this day." Li Shimin held a cup of iced sour plum soup in his hand and took a sip from time to time. He added half a cup of ice to a cup of sour plum soup.

The weather was extremely hot and unexpected. For this reason, Li Shimin had to adjust the time to send troops, and the army rested and trained in Chang'an to avoid the scorching heat.

"If we keep going like this, we have to fall to leave."

As soon as possible, the Mid-Autumn Festival will have to be celebrated, which means they have to stay here for more than a month.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other prime ministers were wearing the same short-skinned clothes as Li Shimin. Fortunately, they were originally on the edge of the swimming pool, and they did not seem to be injustice and etiquette.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Western Regions is not bad. Since Tong Ye Hu's death, although Yan Li succeeded to the throne, he did not have the prestige of his father. In addition, Mo Heduo has already begun to turn to Mo Heduo under the banner of our Tang Dynasty. Even if we do not enter the Western Regions for a while, the situation will not be bad."

The situation will not only not get worse, but will also get better.

The court was unable to march when it was heated at this time, but instead responded to the situation of sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight.

"Let Mo Hedu and Wuli fight first, and the fight is almost done. Tuyuhun, Xueyantuo, Khitan, Xi, and Shiwei tribes come over again and ask them to continue fighting. We don't have to hurry. After we march into the Western Regions when the autumn is clear and the weather is cool, maybe the Western Regions have both defeated and we will just fight against the Western Regions." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.

"What you said really makes sense. No one expected that this power with superior troops would be defeated by his father's uncle Mo Hedu, who had been beaten by his father before. This is really God's will!" Li Shimin sighed.

It would be fine if you don’t rush to send troops to the Western Regions.

"For more than a month, let the 100,000 soldiers gathered to strengthen their training in the morning and evening. As for the civilians, it is not too late to call for transportation after the weather is cold."

Li Shimin wiped the sweat towel with a sweat towel, but the suffocation in his heart could not be relieved.

"Let's go ahead and talk about the matter of diving acres."

Yu Wenshi said, "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to spread the ranks into the acres and never add taxes. But we may face great opposition. Officials and gentry will pay grain together and spread the ranks into the acres. These are things that are unfavorable to the noble and bureaucratic landlords. They may object, and their attitude may be firm."

Li Shimin looked at Yu Wen Shi and said, "Yuwen Aiqing, you are the Zuo Pushe, the prime minister, and you are at a high position among all officials. Do you also oppose this new law?"

Yu Wen and an awkward smile.

From the heart, he certainly opposed the new law, but standing at a high position like him, he must be consistent with the court.

Before, the emperor said he was ill and he opposed the new legal faction and the old party. However, the old party was quarreling, but Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda resigned and Liu Yan was exiled. The emperor came out to see the matter again, and his attitude became obvious.

He also knew the emperor's intention and wanted to implement the new law, so his attitude changed a lot during this period. He no longer firmly opposed the new law school, but changed to accept the new law, but proposed some improvements to the new law.

"I support Your Majesty's decision."

This is a slick answer, but Li Shimin is quite satisfied.

"I have carefully considered the new law of Li Chao and Ma Zhou in the past few days. I have to say that this is a very bold new law, very radical, but very long-term vision. Li Chao is right, the equal-field system and the rent-in-law system are only suitable for war-torn periods like the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and are suitable for the beginning of the founding of the early Sui and Tang Dynasties. At that time, there were many fields, few people, and many land was deserted. Therefore, the imperial court promoted equal-field system and rent-in-law system, which was in line with the situation."

"But our Tang Dynasty unified the world. As time goes by, the population will expand in large quantities, but the fields will not expand much, especially the issue of land annexation that the court could not stop. The more time goes, more people will lose their land, and more people will no longer be able to get enough land, or even no land at all."

"We should not only focus on the present, but also on the future. People will have immediate worries. The equal-field system is now fit, but this foot has been growing up. If we don't prepare more suitable shoes in advance, then we can't wear shoes. Forcibly wearing old shoes will only hurt our feet and even make us unable to walk."

After Li Shimin figured out these things, the concept in his mind turned around.

He is not the kind of stubborn emperor, but he is able to understand the situation and quickly turn around and change.

Since this two-tax law of taxes that can be divided into acres is better than the renting and mediocre system of equal land system and can make the Tang Dynasty last forever, what reason does he not need to do it?

What he always remembered was Li Chao's words: If the new two-tax law of dividing taxes was implemented, the Tang Dynasty could be at least 500 years of worry-free.

Five hundred years, it may sound bad, but Li Shimin is a realistic person.

He felt that five hundred years was actually good enough. The Han Dynasty only lasted for more than four hundred years, and Li Chao said that this new law could protect the Tang Dynasty for 500 years, which was enough to move Li Shimin.

A never-added fu made him realize that this sentence could last for at least one hundred years for the Tang Dynasty.

But even if the taxes are never added, as long as the new laws are implemented and the current new policies are maintained, the court will have 80 million yuan in a year. Even if the losses caused by natural disasters are reduced, as well as tax cuts and exemptions, under normal circumstances, at least 70 million yuan a year will be more than 70 million yuan a year.

The court has this money, so it has confidence.

If you shout a word, you will never add a fu. If you can shout, your face will not be red or your ears will not be red, and you will be full of energy.

As long as these goals can be achieved, Li Shimin would be willing to stop equalizing land and withdraw renting and mediocre adjustments, fully implement two taxes, and share the taxes and make a living by acres, and pay grain together with officials and gentry.

Anyone who dares to stop him will dare to deal with him.

"Your Majesty has really decided to promote the implementation of the taxes to earn acres, and the officials and gentry will pay the food together?"

Li Shimin nodded, "Not only did I decide to spread the quota to the acres, and the officials and gentry all paid the food together, but I also had to never add taxes. After the Tang Dynasty, no matter how much the population increased, the quota of the quota would always be 15 million, and I would never add taxes."

"Your Majesty, there will be many people who object. Will you be able to do it step by step?"

"No, I must show my determination, otherwise it will definitely be difficult to carry out." Li Shimin said confidently. He believed that when he vigorously implemented this new law, even though the aristocratic bureaucrats and landlords and merchants in the world would have some complaints, they could still implement it in the end.

This is a national policy that concerns the fate of the Tang Dynasty for 500 years.

"Report to Your Majesty, there is an urgent memorial in Hanjing!" An eunuch came to report.

In an expedited report, was there something important that happened in Hanjing? Li Shimin frowned and said, "Come in."

The memorial was sent in quickly. To his surprise, it was not a matter of military and national affairs, but a memorial sent by Wen Daya, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

This memorial was jointly signed by more than 1,000 Beijing officials, including the Hanlin Academy, more than 3,000 officials, and more than 8,000 scholars and merchants. They jointly submitted a memorial to firmly oppose the new law of Li Chao and Ma Zhou's stalling of the acres and the abandonment of equal land and renting for mediocrity.
