For this purpose, he specially set up an organization similar to Baiqisi. The first task was to strictly keep an eye on various grain stores.

When too many people are unemployed, absorbing into the military is a very good choice.

Historically, the Song Dynasty did this. Unfortunately, after being recruited into the army, they were not put to good use. Instead, they were all wasted.

Li Yunze does the same thing, but he won't keep him like this until he is useless.

After training, these soldiers and horses will be continuously sent to all directions in a round-robin manner to use their swords and guns to open up territory for the people of the Tang Dynasty in exchange for cultivable land.

But before that, Li Linfu, who was touring various vassal towns, came back and learned about the matter and immediately went to the palace to see the emperor.

"His Majesty."

Seeing Li Yunze who had already put on the dragon robe, Li Linfu saluted respectfully and asked, "I heard that the three armies inside and outside Chang'an City have nearly 300,000 troops. I wonder if this is possible?"

"Roughly the same."

Li Yunze thought for a while, "After the re-count of acres in Guanzhong is completed, there should be tens of thousands more."

Li Linfu was speechless and sighed and said, "Your Majesty has raised so many soldiers and horses, where will the food and wages come from?"

The government's military system has collapsed, and most of the current troops are recruited.

The soldiers and horses recruited must be given food, money and silk.

The greater the number of soldiers and horses, the more money and food will be consumed.

In the agricultural era, the money and grain that could be collected was limited. If there were too many soldiers and horses, it would be like the Song Dynasty where it would be impossible to make ends meet.

After taking a breath, Li Linfu said again, "I heard that your Majesty also wants to reduce or reduce taxes?"

"Um."

Li Yunze nodded, "The burden on the people is too heavy and the taxes are too high. Naturally, they need to be reduced or reduced."

"I think this is a good thing, and recuperating with the people is what a wise king does."

Li Linfu first complimented, and then changed the topic, "But Your Majesty, taxes have been reduced, but expenditures have increased greatly. What should the government do if there is no money?"

"How can I have no money?"

Li Yunze waved his hand and said, "I am not the Supreme Emperor. I spend hundreds of millions. The expenses in the palace are reduced to a minimum, and whatever is saved is reserved for military expenses."

"The internal servants will be reduced by half first. As for the palace maids, those who wish to leave the palace can immediately collect their money and go home. There are many soldiers in the army who have not yet married. I intend to hold a blind date meeting so that those palace maids who are willing to get married can marry the sergeants."

After thinking for a while, Li Yunze clapped his hands, "Also, regarding the salaries of the emperor's relatives, your cabinet will discuss and come up with a plan. The bottom line is that the salaries enshrined in the palace should be reduced by at least two-thirds. There are also titles, which must be reduced every generation.

, it can only be passed down to three generations at most. After three generations, everyone will be a commoner."

"That family that has been passed down for dozens of generations, you go there in person, let them understand and hand over all the titles and acres they occupy locally, otherwise."

It didn’t say what else would happen, but the meaning was already very clear.

"And that pear garden, the garden was closed directly, everyone was given severance pay, and they were asked to go out and make a living on their own."

Li Linfu was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, those Liyuan children only know magic, acrobatics, playing and singing. How do they make a living on their own?"

"Why not?"

"In the East and West Second Market, there are so many barbarians making a living by dancing and playing. They can also set up stalls on the roadside to do business. I don't charge stall fees, and I won't let the Wucheng Army drive them away!"
