If it were another person, Li Shimin would open his mouth and ask questions directly. But he was facing Yin Qingfeng, which would be different.

Count carefully the first time he met Yin Qingfeng, he and Yin Qingfeng had no more than twenty times, and the time they spent together was less than five days. If he asked rashly, he was really not sure what the result would be.

Although Yin Qingfeng brought him unimaginable advice every time, he could not understand Yin Qingfeng's background.

There is no problem with his background, and his experience has pulses, but it just cannot explain it. How did he gain his talent?

If it were all obtained by reading books, then did Ouyang Xun, Kong Yingda, Fang Xuanling and others read less? If it was taught by others, that person would not even be able to find out half of the shadow. Yin Qiao could not have been able to do so. He was good at letters and calligraphy. If he really had these insights in governance, why didn’t he reveal them earlier?

For a moment, Li Shimin fell into confusion and entanglement.

Yin Qingfeng didn't know why Li Shimin was silent. He only thought that his wish was fulfilled. Li Shimin wanted to show himself, but was unwilling to obey his words and do it step by step.

Yin Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a little worried.

His words were already straightforward and straightforward. Li Shimin couldn't listen to them without reason. He really thought that when he sat in Chang'an City and said something, the world would have changed? Even the Allah Magic Lamp could not do it!

Which of the famous reformers in history, except for Wang Mang and Yang Jian, was not in the middle of the dynasty with ill-disadvantages?

God threw him into the early Tang Dynasty, which was in a mess, and met Li Shimin, who was humbly accepting advice. What a rare opportunity! Is it because the imperial theory made him inflated? Or was it because Li Jiancheng was successfully solved and made him feel arrogant?

Alas~~~How can we tame the wild horse in his heart?

Li Shimin shook his head in distress and decided to let go of this question first. Yin Qingfeng has been designated as his future son-in-law and will have a chance to find the answer in the future.

When Li Shimin woke up from his thoughts, he realized that the study was quiet and scary, "Cough, what advice do you have?"

Yin Qingfeng was shocked and hurriedly said, "The only criterion for measuring whether a dynasty is prosperous or declining is to see how the people live. Especially in the face of drought, flood, locust plague, whether they can support it.

Once they cannot support themselves, in order to survive, they will sell their children and even change their children to eat. In the more serious cases, they will appear, like in the late Eastern Han Dynasty or the late Sui Dynasty, where the people will rise up and overthrow the dynasty.

It may take many years for a family to accumulate a certain amount of wealth. But just a disaster can make their wealth disappear.

My nephew advised the uncle to order local officials to strictly abide by the "Junior Land Order" to distribute land, just to make the world stable first, and then advise uncles on how they can get rich."

Li Shimin was excited, "You mean that the previous proposals were just to calm them down, and there were ways to make them rich in the future?"

"Yes.

Whether it is new farming or a year, it is just a temporary measure. With the promotion of government orders, farmers' output is increasing, but at the same time, their income from selling grain will become lower and lower.

Therefore, we must come up with new ways to allow farmers to obtain sources of income besides growing food."

The ability to make farmers eat a full meal and pay the taxes they should pay has exceeded Li Shimin's expectations. Now Yin Qingfeng said there is another way to get rich when farmers get rich. Li Shimin said anxiously: "Tell me quickly!"

"I thought about it according to this idea, but how to do it specifically requires me to return to the villa to continue verifying it."

“Oh~~~”

Li Shimin felt a little disappointed and disappointed.

Disappointed that Yin Qingfeng had no specific solution now. He was disappointed that Yin Qingfeng was away from Chang'an again, so he could not find out the reason why Yin Qingfeng was wise and resourceful.

But he couldn't stop it.

It was Yin Qingfeng who allowed him to see a different governance idea, it was Yin Qingfeng who set the direction for him in the future, and it was Yin Qingfeng who told him how to become an emperor who was famous throughout the ages.

Now, Yin Qingfeng wants to verify whether his method is feasible. This is related to how long the Tang Dynasty's reign can last and how long the Li Tang bloodline can last. He can't find a reason to stop it.

It seems that he had to rely on Yin Qingfeng and could not force him at all. Who knows how dissatisfaction and resistance would arise in his heart by forcing him to stay in Chang'an City?

Empire! If you want to see the birth of the Empire in your lifetime, you must tolerate and accept his statements and practices!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin said kindly: "Is there anything that my uncle needs to do?"

"There are three things that really need help from uncle."

"you say!"

"The first thing is that the church in the villa needs a teacher, with a number of about 300 people, preferably half of the unmarried men and women. They don't need to have much profound knowledge. Just be able to understand the Four Books in a rough way.

The second thing is that before the reopening of the Ziwei Building, please invite uncle to entertain officials of third-rank or above in the Ziwei Building.

The third thing is that Uncle Qing handed over Xu Jingzong to his nephew to deal with."

Li Shimin touched his beard, "This...the first thing is fine. The other two things... can you tell me in detail?"

"Do you still remember the trade tax that my nephew mentioned?"

Li Shimin only thought for a moment and said excitedly: "Hosting them is related to commercial tax?"

"Yes.

With the promotion of the bank and the implementation of the agricultural decree, uncle imagine what will happen in five years.”

"Five years later...... Trade Tax..."

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin said excitedly: "You mean that commercial tax can replace agricultural tax in five years?"

Yin Qingfeng shook his head, "It will take at least fifteen to twenty years to completely replace agricultural tax."

“Twenty years….”

Li Shimin was very disappointed.

Twenty years later, he is almost fifty years old. How many more twenty years does he have in his life!

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic living needs of everyone. Anyone with a little bit of labor at home is willing to spend money to improve it.

The annual net income of Ziweilou is 500,000 yuan, and Xianjufang is 1.2 million yuan. If my uncle has the opportunity to run these two industries, would he be willing?"

Li Shimin put aside his sorrow and nodded in response.

"My nephew will ask Duke Wu to announce the franchise on the day of the banquet."

“Join?”

Li Shimin heard another fresh word.

Yin Qingfeng explained what it means to join, and then continued in Li Shimin's shiny eyes: "The Duke of Wu came to run the business on Ziweilou, and Xianjufang was unable to be seized because Duke of Wei was unable to seize the plot, and the others were temporarily put aside. But it is undeniable that many people were jealous and secretly plotted.

After the nephew launches the franchise system, the states in the world will hand it over to them to operate. It will not only bring generous benefits to the nephew in a short period of time, but also resolve their peeping of the nephew. The most important thing is that with these people, business will develop in a very short period of time.

With this foundation, in five years, my uncle can collect business tax.

With the development of business, the proportion of commercial tax in the treasury will gradually replace agricultural tax and become the main source of tax revenue for the Tang Dynasty."
