Chapter 168: Send hairpins and supervise the country again

There was nothing to do. Wu Zetian was not a god. She used a trick of an ordinary Chinese government and said loudly: "Go, what nonsense? If you talk nonsense, don't even come to the East Palace in the future."

"Why?" Li Lingyue asked, but when she saw that the mother's face was covered with frost, she immediately stepped down.

Wu Zetian turned his face, looked at Li Wei, and said, "Look, how do you spoil your sister?"

Li Wei just lowered his head and snickered. When it comes to petting, you are all the same, but my mother's words are not too angry. Jiang is still so old. Liu Rengui said, "Going up the house and pulling the ladder, the person is small and the force is strong, and in a sense, it eases a lot of his relationship with his parents. But, hehe, let alone his little sister, even Shangguan Wan'er is so smart, he has only a slight understanding of it."

Don't take the words of the child seriously. But when he saw his mother staring at Bier, he immediately said, "I remembered something."

"Tell me." Wu Zetian never underestimated himself as his eldest son.

The plan is not too high, but his personality is definitely not as kind as the surface. Of course, these small plans are very naive in Wu Zetian's eyes, but different. All he gets is the favor of his husband and righteousness, but he doesn't take anything.

However, after her son was ill, some aspects were not as good as before, but she couldn't figure them out. Instead, it made her feel scared.

So it's very strange now. Li Wei is very afraid of his mother, but his mother is also afraid of him. Of course, the situation between the mother and son is not good now, so they are temporarily joining hands. But we cannot refuse to admit that Li Zhi's Three Kingdoms policy has achieved results.

Li Wei said: "My mother, son minister, and Wei Yuanzhong once talked about it. The world is divided into taxes, and the poor are becoming poorer and the rich are becoming richer. However, the street tax is used to use tax-free large land households, otherwise the tax will still be collected from the poor households who were originally tax-exempt. If there is no effect, the world will be in a turbulent manner."

Wu Zetian's forehead.

I know, everyone knows it. But I can't move. From officials in the court to children of the royal family, they are all beneficiaries of this policy. If it moves, it will shock the entire country's elite group, and no one can afford the consequences. It's not a very complicated truth. But Li Wei has never known it.

Li Wei continued: "But grass cotton is rare in China, and it was my mother who brought it in, and it has nothing to do with aristocratic families, officials and common people. My mother and son have thought about it, is it possible to do this? Anyone who grows cotton uses land to tax and makes a grass system. The people are willing to introduce it, cut off taxes and spread it to land taxes. There is no difference between tax exemption and non-tax exemption. This is used to reduce the aggravation of land annexation."

"It is inappropriate. Cotton is popularized and prosperous in the world. It is called mulberry and hemp. Doing so is no different from a merchant. Once the revolution is carried out, the world will fluctuate once," Wu Zetian immediately rejected. As a righteousness, cotton is enough. Of course, this premise must be the output that his son said. If the output is like the Lingnan or the Western Regions, it is not necessary to introduce it. But as his son said, from taxes to taxes on stalls to taxes on stalls, even if it is just a cotton bloom, there will be a lot of controversy. Don't talk about yourself, even if you are a husband, you may not dare to cause this trouble.

Why did my son say that? After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Wei hesitantly.

"The mother, using land to tax, may also prevent annexation. Otherwise, the harm will be great soon. It is not too late to save now. When the descendants save it, it may be too late. It is also too late to start with cotton. It is controversial and not too big. In fact, some enlightened and enlightened people have realized this problem. Once implemented, the people will praise it, and many ministers will praise it, mainly because the historical books will write this matter in the future. Please think twice. "

In fact, there is already a voluntary warehouse tax, which is a kind of local tax, but is set up by the local area, similar to the nature of the regular warehouse, and has nothing to do with the official taxation of the country. It is mainly affected by a lot. I know this disadvantage, but no one dares to propose reforms. Later, the Tang Dynasty had the two tax laws, which were very advanced, but at that time...

Li Wei didn't think much about this history, but just wanted to raise this matter and distract his mother's attention.

What else should I do?

Or he followed his mother's arrangements and transferred a palace maid to accompany him, or accompanied him with Bier. Li Wei was also helpless.

"I think about it again." The records of historical books and descendants touched Wu Zetian a little bit. Even if the emperor who ascended the throne in the future was not this eldest son, he would also be other sons, and of course, her descendants.

"You have lost weight, too?" Li Wei asked.

He looked at Li Wei with a very resentful look. Li Wei lived a good life, and he became fat as soon as he was broad-minded. He might not be as broad-minded as he could be. However, during this period, when Xu Jingzong died, the Qing ministers in the court were the mainstream and had a good impression of Li Wei. So he calmed down all of them. He only restored his relationship with his parents, and the royal family affection was very weak. His parents didn't believe Li Wei's tricks.

But there are some benefits, and parents also want to name them. Li Wei seems to be giving them some practices to "name", so the relationship seems to be harmonious.

Not that worried, the benefits of exercise every day showed that Li Wei's thin, sharp-mouthed cheeks began to become plump, and the person became very handsome. Li Wei just smiled at Xu Li's resentment. He couldn't say much affection, but he didn't feel much bad. At least psychologically, he was less repulsive than Pei Yuhe. He was also speechless. He could only make some efforts in the marriage, but he had no say.

Xu Li opened the bag, and there were many clothes inside, but he replied honestly: "Most were sewn by me, and some asked someone to give me advice."

Many robes.

Xu Li was about to open it, and Li Wei took her hand down and said, "No need to read it, just do your best. In fact, I still want to talk to you."

"I can't stand you."

"You don't have to be stronger than Gu. You keep your mind in your heart, you don't have clothes or poems. You can see it when your mind is here."

"Um."

"But you are going back, it's not good."

When Di Hao and Di Hui heard this, they lowered their heads and smiled. They couldn't see the prince and were very worried, so they came to Di Renjie's mansion. Di Renjie was both ridiculous and whispered, and they didn't know what the prince thought, so they introduced it. Of course, the environment was different and the ideas were different.

The two girls were of low origins and had low requirements, so they were very satisfied to be able to enter the Eastern Palace. But Xu Li was born very well. Because the Wei family daughter joined, the Crown Princess Xu Li never thought about it, but Liangdi always thought about it. But it was the only one Liangdi. The prince was disconnected with Yang Min and the women of the Cui family, and the two emperors were not happy about it. After hearing the prince's words, Xu Li lowered her head and her face turned gray.

Li Wei said again: "It's just a reputation for oneself. I don't know if you are with me or accompanying me or a status for you?"

"I want to accompany you."

"That's it, but the more criticism you will be in Dongdu for a long time, it will be bad," Li Wei also thought it was wrong, but the facts proved that the concepts were different, and the ideas were different. Di Renjie's method was very ignorant and cruel, but it was indeed helpful to Di Hui and Di Hao. At least he didn't go out of the door and did not enter the door. In his mother's heart, he was not so repulsive to Di Hui and the two. Or the same was true for the Pei family, otherwise his parents would not choose Pei Yuhe as the future princess. Although it was this conservative atmosphere that was the decisive factor.

Xu Li is a little more lively, but her parents may not like her. She does not object, because of Yang Min's affairs, and she does not want her future son's wife and concubine to show up in public.

"I know that I have had this idea, so when I leave, I only want to see Your Highness and then give these clothes to Your Highness."

Li Wei looked at the bag and sighed in his heart. He didn't engage in physical labor and his clothes were not exhausted. If this continues, even if the East Palace doesn't give him clothes, he can't wear them all. But he is still very grateful and said, "I thank you, but I will give you a word, wait."

I just waited for two or three years, and the time I waited for was longer.

"Yes," Xu Li said lightly again, and there was an answer, better than none.

Li Wei then looked at Di Hao and Di Hui and said, "You two have always been good?"

"We have always been fine if you are concerned about the prince. But when the prince comes, there is something to give to the prince." Di Hui replied.

"What?"

"A copper hand stove," he said, taking out a copper hand stove from the room, also called a warmer. It was cold and he held it in his hand warmer. Di Hui said again: "This is bought by me and my good sister from the Taipei market. It happened to be a pair, one of my father and one for your nobleman."

"Why spend money?" Li Wei looked at the copper hand stove, with some gold plated on it, which was quite valuable, and asked again: "How much did it cost?"

"No need for a few words, but my father doesn't like it very much."

Li Wei was happy. Di Renjie and his mother were probably the same type of people, and they wanted to save face. In fact, Di Hui and Di Hao had some savings, but when they used it, Di Renjie immediately became furious, even if he was filial. If he hadn't been in his own name, he would probably not have taken the copper hand stove.

It was hard to refuse the kindness, Li Wei called the eunuch Jin over and whispered to him a few times. The eunuch Jin replied, "Now."

After saying that, I went out.

After drinking tea for a while, the eunuch of Jin came over and took out three jewelry boxes. Li Wei opened them, which contained three hairpins and said, "I like it, I will pick one for each person."

"What should I do..." Before Di Hui finished speaking, she saw Li Wei glance at their breasts with a smile, her face turned red and she couldn't even say anything.

Wan'er's mother arrived in Luoyang and asked Wu Zetian to be appointed as Si Ze of the Eastern Palace. Bi'er was good, but she was only responsible for Li Wei himself and managed the inner palace, but she had a smaller ability. This was a well-educated young woman, and she came from the Zheng family of the seven families. Li Wei couldn't help but take a look.

I didn't notice the last time. It was a long time since the Tang Dynasty that I realized the importance of the five surnames and seven families. Relatively speaking, these seven families were divided into severity. Qinghe Cui was the most precious, followed by Longxi Li, Fanyang Lu and Xingyang Zheng. Taiyuan Wang family only had better family tutors, but the people were always undesirable, and they lived in the last place among the seven families. Zhaozhou Li and Boling Cui came from behind, but in the eyes of the world, there was still no Longxi Li and Qinghe Cui.

The women of the Zheng family knew it and couldn't help but take it to heart.

I have seen it before, but I didn't pay attention. I didn't look very weak, I was only in my twenties and very charming.

After a certain identity has changed, I first arrived at the East Palace again. As a female official in the East Palace, I dressed up and applied some makeup on my face. Yingying gave her a gift, and her eyes were filled with water.

Li Wei was just curious. This was the so-called woman from the seventh family of Shenma and had no other thoughts. It was just that her mother was like this to show her strength, but Shangguan Wan'er was very happy. With this young woman in the inner palace, she was indeed well organized.

But unexpectedly, this caused a topic. When Zhu Jingze arrived at the East Palace, Li Wei was very unrequited. My favorite staff member of the East Palace was also a direct minister... Zheng probably heard about it, so he handed over tea and water. He was very attentive. Da Zhu didn't appreciate it. He looked at her and looked at Li Wei's eyes and suddenly became suspicious.

So he made a memorial, saying that the two emperors summoned the former daughter-in-law of Shangguan family to the Eastern Palace to show their compassion, but it was inappropriate for both mother and daughter to serve one person. When Di Renjie heard about it, he was shocked at first, and then laughed. Li Wei was even more depressed. Why bother to serve the same person? I am still a Tong brother!

But there was no way, Zhu Jingze was very vague. This servant was not another servant, which was reasonable. Besides, Zheng was quite handsome and a mature woman. He was placed in the Eastern Palace and served Li Wei day and night. Unexpectedly, there would be no accident. Shangguan Wan'er set a name again, not that she could not do it. The Li family's royal family was very chaotic, but Zhu Jingze did not want anything bad to happen to the prince. Di Renjie also agreed.

After reading the report, Li Zhi transferred Zheng to the harem and to the palace city.

After hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er cut the melons from Liangzhou for Li Wei, while using a knife to say harshly: "I cut, I cut."

Li Wei and Bier laughed loudly when they looked at the little loli’s resentment.

But overall, it was very peaceful, and Li Wei liked it this day.

The peace was not long, and the court made a lot of remedies this year. The price of grain in Guanzhong dropped a lot. Ordinary corn dropped to 27 to 28 ci per bucket, rough ones dropped to 20 ci, and good Jiangnan japonica rice dropped to 37 to 38 ci. The price is still a bit expensive, but it is already acceptable to most citizens.

It is not just the role of merchants, but mainly the court. He has seen the new method of growing rapeseed, which is growing well. It is estimated that the grain harvest will be better next year, and there are not many people who hoard. Various factors are added, so the price is so. But the role of merchants cannot be ignored.

Moreover, the imperial court did not vent the treasury to provide relief.

Finally, the reward was promised in terms of merit and practice. Before the Luoshui River and Wei River were frozen, the court finally rewarded two merchant barons, one merchant viscount, and some insignificant idle officials. In Li Wei's opinion, these rewards were all false titles and had no real power at all. It was very similar to the honorary positions in later generations. Li Wei even believed that the court treated each other less poorly.

That's it. The memorials handed over from all over the country were like snowflakes, flying into the capital, saying everything, and some used tears to cry. Li Zhi was a little annoyed. He didn't know how expensive oil and salt were. It was not that he could not save him. Once he rescued him, he might not have the effect of being a good person, and he might not have the effect of the present. But now in the treasury, the autumn tax has been collected, and there is still some accumulation of surplus. With the accumulation of surplus, he always feels more at ease. But in the face of these people's advice, he doesn't know how to answer.

I also feel that I have done nothing wrong, but for hundreds of years...

The disaster was stable and annoyed again. He was not interested in staying in Dongdu, so he issued an edict and went to Xuru and inspected the people. In fact, he just relaxed. He slipped away and calmed his ears. Then he summoned Li Wei into the palace and said, "Hong'er, I went to Xuru and the other states, and you should come to supervise the country."

"My son is frightened and can only learn, but not distract some of his father and emperor." Li Wei replied casually. It's not that he has never been in charge of the country, but his father is a little suspicious of himself. Just punish the country. When you finish your mind, I will go out to relax.

"You have done a good job, and you're up to the top," said this, frowned, thought for a while, and said, "The affairs of the three provinces are not only about learning, but also about handling some."

Do I want to delegate power?

Li Wei raised his head, looked at his father suspiciously, and said stutteringly, "My son is not afraid. National affairs are still of great importance, so my son is not afraid to deal with it."

"If you ask you to deal with it, you will deal with it. Besides, my illness has not been cured. What if I have any, what will the country do?"
