Li Anran was very clear about the purpose of Li Shimin's continuous rewards, which was nothing more than bribery and wooing for future use.

But in Li Anran's view, the other party's methods of bribing and wooing him are not powerful enough.

Think about it, whether it is Master Chunyang or Master Protector, they are just false names. If Li Anran wants to do things under the banner of Taoism, having these two titles can be of great use, but

He has no such intention at all. Moreover, the so-called Taoist sect is actually, to put it bluntly, just like the imperial court in the secular world, it is a system.

Even though Li Anran has many miraculous means to prove that he is indeed an expert in the world, it is really elusive to resist people's thoughts and desires. If he enters this system, let alone whether he can rely on Master Chunyang

What to do with the protector's title, God knows how much trouble it will cause in the future.

What's more, these two titles, especially the title of Protector of the Country, should be awarded with great fanfare. In the end, they just sent an eunuch to give an imperial edict casually. Even with this imperial edict, Protector of the Country's

The title is indeed true, but in terms of influence, it is far inferior to those so-called virtuous people and virtuous people who were proclaimed by Li Shimin to the world.

In addition to the title, let alone the rewards from Taihang Mountain. As I said before, this place is too big. Even if it falls under Li Anran's name, it is not much different. As for the rewards,

Properties such as silk and satin, gold and silver, jewelry and jade, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc. have limited value.

"Li Er is too stingy. He wants me to sacrifice my life for him for such a small benefit? What a dream! However, something is better than nothing. After all, the hard work is not in vain. At least the purchased poultry is definitely profitable.

"Li Anran, who was holding the fragrant tea and sipping it without a sip, thought to himself while continuing to wait for the evil guest in front of him to continue.

"Enlightenment college, cooking training class, traditional Chinese medicine training class, driving training class, and agricultural college, I understand." After repeating these quite novel names, Cheng Yaojin said: "This

The second thing, Your Majesty would like to ask the real person, how is the commercial tax trial in this commercial street going?"

"Business tax?" When this tax collection method was first proposed, Li Anran knew that it would definitely be adopted by Li Shimin. After all, this kind of tax is a common tax used by all countries on the earth in modern time and space.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the essence of the business field has been condensed for hundreds or even thousands of years. It is not because the other party is not interested.

As for why he was asking through Cheng Yaojin's mouth instead of asking directly, Li Anran just pondered for a moment and came up with some speculations. First of all, although Li Shimin was the king of a country, the entire Tang Dynasty

The operation of the company is still closely related to the wealthy and famous families, and things like commercial tax have offended the vested interests of these people in some aspects.

It was precisely in order not to cause any trouble that Li Shimin adopted an indifferent attitude at first. But this time he asked in private. However, this time the other party asked about this matter through Cheng Yaojin's mouth.

In Li Anran's opinion, in addition to not wanting to get too involved, he probably still wants to determine the amount of commercial tax during this period and where the tax money will go.

It’s not that Li Shimin is really short of money. It’s because the “money scene” of commercial tax is quite huge. In the past, because of the locust plague, rumors and other things, he couldn’t take this aspect into consideration. Now, the Guan Nei Road

The locust plagues in various places have gradually subsided, and the work of disaster relief and reassuring the people is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Only then did I think of this matter.

When he proposed the business tax before, he only expected that this new tax would bring huge changes to the Tang Dynasty so that he could get some benefits related to time travel abilities and mysterious runes. Li Anran had never thought about it in the first place.

What kind of crooked thinking was being used on this money, so when this matter was mentioned, he said simply:

"The trial implementation of the commercial tax has gone smoothly, and all aspects of the tax accounts are complete. As for the taxes, they are all kept with me. I originally planned to entrust General Cheng to go to Chang'an in a few days. Since General Cheng asked,

I think it is better to choose the right date than to hit it, so I will ask the people below to prepare the accounts and taxes, and then General Cheng will take them away directly."

"In this case, I have to thank Master Lao." Cheng Yaojin, who originally came with this purpose, saw that the other party was so cooperative. All the excuses he had prepared before were of no use, and he didn't feel like it at the moment.

Some literati, if they say something mean and mean, just say it with fists in their hands.

"You're welcome, General." Li Anran waved his hand, and after saying that, someone called Xiang Yun into the front hall and ordered: "Yun'er, go and submit the accounts of the trial commercial tax during this period.

The taxes paid by those shops have been sorted out, and General Cheng will take them back to Chang'an."

"Yes, young master." Looking at Cheng Yaojin who was still eating and drinking sitting beside him, Xiangyun, who could easily deduce something, didn't ask any more questions. After giving a light salute, he waited.

Together with Su Xiaomei outside, we went to the warehouse to check the accounts and had everyone count out every tax and load it onto the donkey cart.

"General Cheng, let's talk about the third thing." Li Anran, who was really too lazy to chat with the other party anymore, said.

Cheng Yaojin, who knew that he was not a popular person in the eyes of the other party, swallowed the last piece of meat, took a gulp of the grape wine in the cup, and then said: "The third thing,

It was the Holy One who asked me to ask the real person what he thought about Tuli's surrender to the Tang Dynasty and Jieli's envoys who wanted to exchange Liang Shidu for Khitan."

"What happened when Li suddenly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and Jieli sent envoys to exchange Liang Shidu for Khitan?" Li Anran, who originally thought that Li Shimin was interested in something in him, or wanted to ask him for some help, did not expect it at all.

The other party actually mentioned these two things, so after being stunned for a moment, he said: "General Cheng, are you kidding me?"

"Why did the real person say this?" Cheng Yaojin, who was also stunned for a moment, asked.

"Please, this is the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty. Why would Li...sage ask me what I think? I'm not Li Yuanfang!" Li Anran said angrily, recalling the line from a TV series popular on the modern time and space network.

"Who is Li Yuanfang?" Cheng Yaojin, who was surprised that the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty were related to this person, asked quickly.

"Uh...he is an unlucky man who has good skills and is often asked, 'Yuanfang, what do you think?'" Li Anran, knowing that he had lied, quickly changed the subject and said: "General Cheng,

Please tell me, Your Majesty, that I am a person in the upper world, and even if I enter the world of mortals, I will not be able to deal with such important matters, so I am sorry that I am helpless."

"I see, that person will definitely report the real person's answer to His Majesty." Cheng Yaojin, who originally expected a similar answer, was not surprised at all, but instead, he remembered Li Yuanfang's name in his heart.

.When I turned around, I planned to have someone check to see who this person was and why he could be talked about in front of me and look so familiar.

"Then I'll leave it to General Cheng." Li Anran raised his hand and saw that the other party had no intention of leaving at all, so he could only say helplessly: "I wonder if the general has anything else to do when he comes here this time?"

"The real person is really discerning. I do have something else I want to ask." Cheng Yaojin, who was not embarrassed at all, said with a smile.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Li Anran said, waving his hand.

"I heard that the real person has refined a large amount of body-refining potions?" Cheng Yaojin, who knew the temper of the man in front of him, asked directly without being polite.

"I have already said that this is just a substitute, and it is fundamentally different from the potion I brought down from the upper world. However, the effect is not bad. What? General Cheng is interested?" Li Anran looked at the other party.

, asked.

"Yes, of course there is, it's a good thing. Even if it's not as good as the original potion, as long as it's as effective as the real person said, it's enough. I just don't know how many real people have this thing?" Cheng Yao smiled while stroking his hands.

Jin asked.

"In this way, this kind of substitute was originally prepared for the Tang Dynasty. Since General Cheng is interested, he will take away five hundred kilograms first." Knowing that the other party dared to say this, he definitely didn't just want it for himself. He probably wanted it because of Li Shimin.
