A new situation begins, the Tang Dynasty enters a new era, and of course, the people must share this joy.

The court therefore ordered a general amnesty for the world and exempted the people of the world from taxes for one year.

This is an unprecedented kindness. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although there has been a general amnesty for the whole world, it has never been said that the exemption of all people in the world from taxes for one year during the amnesty period. It can also be said that it has never happened in all dynasties, which is of course a great thing that shocked the world.

The people naturally ran around and told each other that some people who were worried about living a bad life because of the poor harvest this year, there were fewer worries at home. Don’t pay taxes, then all the harvest today belongs to their own. No matter how bad the harvest is, you won’t be able to eat enough, let alone the grain stored in the past few years.

In fact, exempting taxes for one year is far more symbolic than practical significance. The people do not have to pay much taxes every year, but the court can exempt people from taxes, which shows that those in power love the people, so how can it not be delighted?

The people are actually the easiest to satisfy. With this, they are so grateful to those in power!

The imperial grain and national taxes have never been exempted from all the people in the world. This time, the impact will be impossible.

Of course this is Chen Yi's idea. The Tang Dynasty's treasury is now rich, and the grain reserves in the granaries in various places are enough for the people of the world to eat for many years. It will not have any impact on the Tang Dynasty's finances. Chen Yi is already considering reducing taxes to the people. Taking the opportunity of amnesty to exempt the tax for one year is also an attempt. He and the ministers who support this proposal want to see how much impact the exemption of the world's annual tax will have on the income of the treasury and what impact will it have on other aspects.

Nowadays, commercial tax accounts for most of the treasury income of the Tang Dynasty. Agricultural tax is exempted, but commercial taxes still have to be collected.

Just like his later generations who lived in the past, the agricultural tax was abolished, which was also called the first time to create the world, but the actual impact was not large, mainly because the agricultural tax accounted for a large proportion of China's tax revenue, and it would not have much impact on the treasury revenue if it was cancelled.

Of course, Chen Yi also wanted to abolish agricultural taxes under his leadership. However, in the Tang Dynasty, where productivity levels were not developed and commercial trade was not prosperous, agricultural taxes accounted for quite a large proportion of the entire treasury income. If they were abolished, the entire country might collapse. To benefit the people, we can only start from other aspects and find ways to increase their income!

The exemption of agricultural taxes for one year is regarded as the first thing he did to seek welfare for the people of the world after he served as the Shangshu Ling, who was similar to the "Cabinet Prime Minister",! If it had little impact on the finances of the Tang Dynasty, then the subsequent tax reduction measures could be taken out.

Today, the agricultural tax in the Tang Dynasty is about 30 taxes. This is a relatively light tax in the entire feudal history of China, but Chen Yi still wanted to further reduce the burden on farmers. It was just how much it was reduced. I have to think about it again.

But reducing the burden on farmers is definitely something that needs to be done. He hopes to make the country strong and the people rich. With the strength of the country, the living standards of the people will also improve day by day. Of course, in addition to tax cuts, he has many other tricks to use.

It can be said that he has now ascended the supreme power of the Tang Dynasty. Many plans that had previously thought but were not in the conditions to implement, or did not receive Wu Zetian's support could be put on the agenda. For example, the abolishment of curfews throughout the year to encourage nighttime commercial trade; vigorously promote ocean trade; trafficking of arms and surplus food; introducing foreign species; increasing investment in scientific and technological research; opening schools, increasing education in physics, chemistry and other science and technology; collecting taxes from royal members and senior officials, etc. are all brewing or about to be implemented.

Because Chen Yi controlled the army, he was the most prestige in the court; and because he proposed many new epoch-making or transcendental affairs and plans, he not only shocked many people's attention, but also gained more recognition and respect.

If his forced Wu Zetian to hand over power was almost the same as a military coup, and the power he obtained was not very stable, then his subsequent actions of calming the people and his performance in court affairs were different from ordinary people, but he gained unprecedented dignity and prestige.

No minister in the court has long-term considerations in court affairs, and is "foresighted". This is the evaluation of Chen Yi, who was the first person in the court in the post-Wu Zetian era. "Technology is the primary productive force", such a slogan has never been heard of before.

Originally, many ministers disagree with Chen Yi's vigorous improvement of his skill status, which was almost "away" but with the birth of many things that are novel and "high-tech" in the eyes of this era, many people have lost their dissatisfaction and complaints.

Tap water, biogas tanks, toilets and other things are closely related to life and can bring great uses to people. Once it is released, it has been welcomed by most people. Who doesn’t want their life to be more convenient?

There are many novel things, and many things are still confidential, but more and more courtiers agree with what Chen Yi said about "vigorously develop technology", although many people still cannot fully understand what "technology" is.

----------

Because Li Shimin served as the Minister of State as the King of Qin before becoming emperor, no one dared to accept the appointment of this position again for so many years, and no one dared to take it, and the court never gave this position to anyone again.

The Shangshu Ling was vacant, and the affairs of the Shangshu Provincial Department were controlled by the deputy position Zuo and Youpushe. However, this situation changed because Chen Yi, a sudden figure, and after Li Shimin, another second-rank Shangshu Ling, a Tang Dynasty leader, was born. Because the Shangshu Zuo and Youpushe were originally higher than that of the Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong. After Chen Yi was in charge of the Shangshu Ling, the Shangshu Provincial Department became more and more advanced than that of the Zhongshu, and the disciples were in charge of the Shangshu.

Of course, the regular meeting of the Zhengshi Hall is also located in the Shangshu Province.

Originally, all the official offices of the Shangshu Province were set up in Tai Chi Palace. After Chen Yi took charge of the affairs of the Shangshu Province, he moved the official offices of the Shangshu Province to the Daming Palace, and the official offices of the Sixth Department of the Shangshu Province were also moved to the Daming Palace. There were enough houses in the Daming Palace, and these new official offices did not feel crowded.

The official office of the Shangshu Province is located on the west side of Hanyuan Hall. This area was originally a hall for the emperor to rest temporarily when he was in charge of the court, but it has not played a big role. Now it happened to be used to resettle the official office of the Shangshu Province and its subordinate departments.

There are still many official yamen in Tai Chi Palace, and the official yamen in the Three Temples and Ninth Supervisors are still there.

There are also many houses in Tai Chi Palace, so of course they cannot be abandoned and should be used.

The palaces and pavilions, which are used as the Secretary of the Republic of China, are naturally the largest. After renovating, they are very comfortable to stay.

He became the first "Cabinet Chief" of the Tang Dynasty and was actually the highest power person. Chen Yi was the busiest person in the entire Tang Dynasty. Because there were too many things to do, he spent much more time in the official office of the Shangshu Province than in the mansion. For many days, he didn't even have time to go back to the mansion.

Fortunately, Chen Yi added a "little secretary" to himself. This "little secretary" is very pleasing to the eye. When he sees this "little secretary" every day, he feels very comfortable, even less fatigue, and he is very energetic when doing things.

This "little secretary" who is called the Minister of Internal Affairs of Shangshu Province is naturally Shangguan Wan'er.

Because of the mistake of Yin, the talented girl Shangguan Wan'er was not discovered and used by Wu Zetian, but was "retained" by Chen Yi herself. Although Wu Zetian did not completely withdraw from the political stage, her dream of empress could never be realized, nor could she be the most powerful person in the political stage of the Tang Dynasty. Shangguan Wan'er did not need to show her talent by her side.

Shangguan Wan'er is a not simple person. This conclusion is drawn from Chen Yi's observations of her over the years and the display of her talent.

The water does not flow to outsiders. Chen Yi did not want Shangguan Wan'er to show her face in other places, so he let her sit by her side.

Thinking that after several years of training, this little girl may become her right-hand assistant in the court affairs, writing edicts, government affairs outlines, etc. The level of literary talent she wrote on her behalf is definitely not inferior to his.

Shangguan Wan'er is so famous in history. She has been playing with power for many years and is called the uncrowned prime minister. This shows that this woman has good political talents.

Since her political talents are good, Chen Yi thinks it is a waste to prevent her from showing her talent.

Seeing the little girl wandering around every day, Chen Yi felt that his enthusiasm for doing things was much higher. As the saying goes, "Men and women are not tired of working." Shangguan Wan'er also cherishes the opportunity to do things around Chen Yi very much, and strives to do the best in everything.

After Shangguan Wan'er came to Chen Yi to do things, she took charge of drafting various manuscripts and decrees for Chen Yi. All the manuscripts and decrees that Chen Yi needed to write were written by her. Shangguan Wan'er's performance did not disappoint Chen Yi, and even surprised him.

The decrees and eloquences of the manuscripts written by the little girl surprised Chen Yi, and the rigorousness of the sentences surprised him. He was really glad that he had received a surprise because of this idea that he had made.

Shangguan Wan'er's talent was slowly revealed while doing things for Chen Yi. With the opportunity to display her talents, the little girl was naturally very excited. She worked harder and even gave Chen Yi some suggestions.

Some of Shangguan Wan'er's suggestions are quite good, and they even have the finishing touch, which Chen Yi was very satisfied.

What satisfied him even more was Shangguan Wan'er's care for his life.

It can be said that Chen Yi's daily life in the palace was entirely under the responsibility of Shangguan Wan'er, and the little girl took care of him in every aspect.

If Chen Yi stayed in the palace, all his clothes and clothes were taken care of by Shangguan Wan'er. Chen Yi liked to let her do it, and the little girl was willing to take care of Chen Yi. During the daily contact between the two, they secretly developed some inexplicable feelings.

Shangguan Wan'er, who had just started to fall in love, regarded Chen Yi as her closest person since she was a child. After growing up, she admired Chen Yi, who performed well in all aspects, as an idol. After a long period of close contact, the feeling that she didn't know how to express was even more intense, but she just didn't know how to express it.

Shangguan Wan'er performed well in all aspects. Chen Yi was happy in his eyes. As she grew older, her body was also changing. Her originally thin body had gradually become round, and she stood up where she should be raised, and she was not vague at all.

With Chen Yi's beautiful face, with his estimated height of nearly 1.7 meters and a bulging figure, any man would be moved when he saw it. Chen Yi had seen more than once. None of the officials who came to his workplace to report the situation when he saw Shangguan Wan standing beside him, dressed in men's clothes and looked very heroic and handsome, was indifferent or amazed.

The little beauty raised by herself is of course good. Chen Yi is also thinking about some ways to turn Shangguan Wan'er into his own woman.

This is one of his ultimate goals in this era. If he lets go of such an outstanding beauty, a woman who is famous in history, or a beautiful talented woman he raised, the meaning of life will be lost a lot. It is just how to take Shangguan Wan'er down and give her a good reputation, not to be harshly spoken by his wives and concubines, and not be criticized by others, it is a terrible thing.

The battle between Chen Yi and Helan Minzhi has already made Helan Minyue very sad, and it also made Wu Shun unhappy, and it has become alienated from him.

After his efforts, Helan Minyue was successfully persuaded, and Helan Minyue was not severely punished and was named king, but he lost his power. This made Helan Minyue and Wu Shun unable to blame him any more. However, after this incident, his relationship with Wu Shun and Helan Minyue was always covered, especially with Wu Shun. The two have not been together for a long time.

Although Helan Minyue was a little better, she still complained to Chen Yi when she was stimulated. Chen Yi knew that if he brought a person like Shangguan Wan'er to the mansion, Helan Minyue would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. She could only wait and wait until Helan Minyue calmed down!

However, Chen Yi was very confident that no one could snatch Shangguan Wan'er away from him.

The little girl was also very attached to him and even admired him. In addition, after Wu Zetian handed over power, he quickly quelled Shangguan Yi. He chased Zeng Shangguan Yi as the Minister of the Secretariat and Shangguan Tingzhi as the Minister of the Secretariat, and added a grand funeral. This action made Shangguan Wan'er even more grateful and admired. Of course, this worship was no longer just admiration for heroes. It was mainly because of the admiration of men by the woman Huaichun.

Chen Yi naturally knew Shangguan Wan'er's feelings. He believed that as long as he took the initiative to express something, the little girl would definitely obey shyly.

But there was a Zheng Wanpin in the middle, which made him feel a little difficult to start.

But he also believed that Zheng Wanpin was not an obstacle, at least she wouldn't be in charge of anything over the years.

Zheng Wanpin was regained his identity and was named the wife of Yue by the court, and returned to the Shangguan Mansion to live. In order to express her repentance for what she did, she expressed that she would recite scriptures and pray for blessings in front of Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Tingzhi's spirit.

The recovery of the Shangguan family's glory was quite exciting to Zheng Wanpin. She told Chen Yi that she had to stay with her husband for only three years because of the loss. Chen Yi had to forgive her for being unable to accompany him in these three years. Naturally, he had no objection to this Chen Yi. He no longer had much energy to care about the women who had become her woman, and there were too many things to do!

And he also hopes that Zheng Wanpin can stay away from him and Shangguan Wan'er over the years, otherwise he will be embarrassed to do something to Shangguan Wan'er.

Zheng Wanpin's temporary distance made Chen Yi already plan how to attack Shangguan Wan'er.

------------

One thing hurt him very much, that is, Pei Xingjian's health was getting worse and worse. Although he and Ning Qing repeatedly treated him, his injuries did not show signs of improvement. He just suppressed him temporarily and recurred again when winter was approaching, and it was somewhat outbreaking.

Pei Xingjian has been in Anxi for many years, and has been in constant war and has been injured countless times. The accumulated injuries this time has dealt a fatal blow to his body.

"Husband, Pei Pushe's life has not lasted this winter!" This is what Ning Qing quietly told Chen Yi.

Chen Yi, who is skilled in medicine, certainly knew that Ning Qing's words were true. Pei Xingjian, who was almost seventy years old, had almost exhausted his energy, and was almost in his twilight years. If he was in a bad state, he might not be able to get over this winter.

Chen Yi asked Ning Qing to stay in Pei's mansion all day long so that he could treat Pei Xingjian at any time.

In recent years, Ning Qing has been diligent in studying medicine and his medical skills have progressed rapidly, which can be said to be far beyond his senior brothers, and even Sun Simiao praised it.

Sun Simiao is old and his energy is not as good as before. In recent years, most of the years he lived in Zhongnan Mountain and rarely came to Chang'an City. Most of the time, Chen Yi and Ning Qing went to visit him. However, Chen Yi believes that Sun Simiao can live in many times. According to historical records, this old Taoist lived in more than 100 years, and now Sun Simiao is only over 90 years old!

It is a pity that Sun Simiao could not be allowed to treat Pei Xingjian. No matter how good Ning Qing's medical skills are, he could not surpass Sun Simiao, who has richer clinical experience. Chen Yi didn't know if Sun Simiao could continue Pei Xingjian's life. But he also knew that even if he could continue Pei Xingjian's life, this person like his elder brother whom he respected very much could not live a long time.

"Ziying, I thank you for your care for me over the years. If it weren't for the treatment of your concubine Ning Qing, I would have had my life gone!" When Chen Yi came to visit him, Pei Xingjian, who knew that he was extremely alive, said with emotion: "I have lived this age, which is longer than I expected, and I am content! Haha!"

Pei Xingjian said this himself, and Chen Yi could only comfort him: "Brother Shouyou, don't think so. Now your health is getting worse, but winter is approaching! In the cold, the human body's ability has decreased, so he feels exhausted. As long as this winter is over, it will be fine. You will definitely get better. There are too many things waiting for you to do in the court!"

"I'm almost alive and I'm going to live in a few days. I'm very clear about this. Don't comfort me!" Pei Xingjian laughed and signaled Chen Yi not to say anything comforting. After signaling Chen Yi to sit down and talk, he lowered his voice and said, "I want to say a few more words to you today! If I don't say it today, I may not have a chance in the future!"

"Brother Shouyue has anything to say, please give me the order!"

"I have wanted to ask you this question for a long time, but I have always felt it was inappropriate. I am about to die and I don't want to bring this question into the coffin. I will ask you while I am in good spirits today!" Pei Xingjian said, with a gleam in his eyes, and he asked Chen Yi in a very low voice: "Ziying, I want to ask you, is the little emperor Li Xian's son or your son?"

"ah?!".)
