Li Zhiben also felt that this was correct, but when he saw Changsun Wuji saying so excitedly, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He smiled at Changsun Wuji and asked, "Why did the Grand Marshal say this?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty has no idea. Since ancient times, ordinary people have been afraid of the law, because they all think that this law is used to punish them, and therefore they dare not violate the law. This is the understanding of the law by the kings of all dynasties. However, the people have never supported the law. However, the fact is that this law is not used to punish the people, but is precisely used to protect the people. If my Tang Dynasty law can be supported by the people, everyone will work together to abide by the law, then even if some evil people try to destroy the law without the court speaking, the people will stand up and oppose it, fear that they can only suppress it for a while, but support can last for a long time."

Changsun Wuji was loyal and treacherous, but he still made outstanding contributions to Tang Ru, including the "Yonghui Rule" he personally compiled, which was the earliest code in Chinese history involving the concept of international private law.

His words immediately raised Han Yi's suggestions to a deeper level.

Why does the law come from?

At this time, the law is mainly used to rule the people, and is used by the rulers to restrain the people. In fact, the rulers also hope that the people can fear the law, so that no one will break the law. But if everyone supports the law, that is, everyone supports his rule, and no one will break the law.

Compared with the two, the latter is obviously more clever.

"The Taiwei's words are reasonable!"

Li Zhi nodded and expressed his agreement, saying to Changsun Wuji: "It seems that the Taiwei also agrees with Han Yi's suggestion?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "The old minister just agrees with this statement, but if you want to talk about the whole thing, the old minister still feels that he still lacks consideration."

Li Zhi asked again: "What do you say about Taiwei?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty. Han Yi suggested establishing this new government office is based on the relaxation of the curfew system. Therefore, we should not only look at whether this new government office should be established, but also whether it is suitable for the relaxation of the curfew system. This is the main thing. According to Han Yi, relaxing the curfew system is not something that can be relaxed by a simple notice. A lot of manpower and material resources have to be invested. The old minister thinks whether the court has to do what it can. After all, my Tang Dynasty has just recovered from the war, and the national treasury is not very full."

Li Zhi nodded thoughtfully and said, "The Grand Marshal is more careful in his consideration."

When it comes to money, Li Zhi had to treat it carefully. He just likes mature women, who are a virtuous woman. But as an emperor, Li Zhi is definitely not a luxury emperor. He lives a relatively frugal life like Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. The gifts given to Changsun Wuji were all cut out from the gaps of his teeth. He also said to Han Yi: "Han Yi, although you said it is not without reason, you have to do everything within your ability. Of course, I hope that the people can live a good life, but the court is probably powerless."

Han Yi nodded and said, "Your Majesty. Whether it is a businessman doing business or a farmer farming, you must first invest it before you can get the reward. The same is true for this night market. The court must first invest it to get the reward."

Li Zhi said: "I know this, but the question is how to get this reward?"

Han Yi said: "Of course, it's about increasing taxes."

As soon as he said this, Chu Suiliang immediately stood up and said, "This is not possible. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he has been advocating the way of governing the country with light taxes and low taxes. How can taxes be increased at will? If taxes are collected at will, it will be tantamount to shaking the foundation of the country. At that time, the world will be in chaos. This time, when I think you are young, I will not care about you. If you dare to say such words of disaster to the country before Your Majesty, I, Chu Suiliang, will not spare you."

In the early Tang Dynasty, taxes were not high and very low, all for promoting agricultural development. Moreover, because the commerce in the early Tang Dynasty was almost original and the court did not pay much attention to it, so there was no commercial tax or industrial tax. No tax was imposed on tea, wine, salt, or mines, but they just paid some rent. On the contrary, the Song Dynasty had just the opposite, and anyone who made money had to be taxed. Officials at this time were very cautious when hearing this tax increase, because the idea of ​​light taxes and taxes was already deeply rooted. For example, Han Yuan and Lai Ji were still suggesting that the court reduce some taxes.

Han Yi was not angry about this and said with a smile: "You Pushe misunderstood. You Pushe said that he was levied on levy taxes and killed chickens to get eggs. The official did not agree with it, but the official said that the tax was something that you and your wishes were reasonable and reasonable. This is not the same thing."

Li Zhi said: "Then tell me what's going on?"

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty has also been to Weichen's Taobao Market. People who do business there are poor people. It is not easy to come to Weichen's Taobao Market to try their luck because of livelihood. It is not easy for Weichen to take their rent out of conscience and benevolence. After all, their lives are very poor and the money they make is not easy, but Weichen still collected it because there is no free lunch in the world. If Weichen does not charge their rent, Weichen's big market may not be able to continue, which is worse for them. On the other hand, if the big market gets better and better, they will make more and more money, so they are willing to pay the rent."

Chu Suiliang said: "This is just your personal transaction. When you collect rent, the people will take it for granted. However, if the court increases taxes, the people will not think so. This cannot be generalized."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Youpushe said, but the truth is the same. If the night market can increase the income of the people by ten cents a month and just ask him to hand over a penny, will the people really not be willing?

Yu Zhining smiled and said, "This is not necessarily the case. Just what you say will nod and agree with, but if you really think that the money is in your pocket, they will definitely not want to take it out."

Han Yi couldn't help but look at Yu Zhining, oh, it seemed that this old man understood psychology. He smiled and said, "Although Zuo Pushe made sense, I don't think so, because the court did not collect taxes unreasonably. The court first invested a lot of manpower and material resources to ensure that the night market could be opened smoothly, and at the same time it also protected the people's property and brought livelihoods to the people. The court should receive corresponding returns, and taxes were also collected on the premise of ensuring the interests of the people, so that the night market could be operated normally. If the people were unwilling to pay taxes, then OK, just close the night market, and the business was all about your love and my wish."

Li Zhi said: "What do you mean is that the court will open this night market first, and then wait until the people make money before levying the corresponding taxes?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "That's true. After all, the night market is controlled by the court and it is convenient for tax collection."

Chu Suiliang said: "Even if you are right, it is because the people can make money by relying on the night market, but what if they can't make money?"

Han Yi said simply: "If the people can't make money, then I will personally take over the money spent by the imperial court for the night market."

This sentence made Chu Suiliang a little stupid. He argued in this court for hundreds of times, but no one had ever said this.

Only four words can be used to describe Korean art - rich and powerful.

If it were other eighth-rank officials who said this, the emperor would probably ask someone to pull him out. You are obviously angry, but why do you have to be angry with the prime minister? But Han Yi's situation is different. Everyone knows that Han Yi is making money every day, and some money is more than enough to make up this amount of money.

But no matter how you hear this, how can you feel naive, the old guys can't help laughing. The atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Cheng Yaojin said haha: "A good young man, I have the courage, I support you."

"Old man."

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Li Zhi also smiled and said, "Han Yi, you have no jokes, you have to think clearly."

"Thank you for your advice."

Han Yi bowed and said, "But the Wei Minister has confidence, but there is one premise, that is, no one is making trouble from it."

Li Zhi laughed and said, "The people sitting here are all my prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty. If they nodded and agreed, who would dare to interfere?"

Changsun Wuji smiled slightly. He was used to the tacit understanding between the king and the ministers and said, "Since Han Yi, you are so sure, why don't you explain clearly when this tax will be imposed and when will the court balance the income and expenditure? This is also an explanation for the Ministry of Revenue."

Han Yi said: "It can be levied in half a year, and a tax of one year can be levied, and the court can recover the cost."

If you want to tell him something else, he will definitely not dare to respond so simply, but if he says he is doing business, he is still sure.

Changsun Wuji nodded and stopped talking.

Li Zhi glanced at him and asked, "I wonder if you all agree with the establishment of this new official office?"

Changsun Wuji took the lead and said, "The old minister thought he could give it a try."

He nodded, and the others naturally agreed.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Secretary Secretary, Han Yi, hurry up and write a detailed memorial to submit it." After all, Changsun Chong is Han Yi's head now, so he has to put him in, in fact, just let Han Yi write.

"I obey the order."

“Let’s wait.”

Chu Suiliang suddenly stood up again and asked, "Your Majesty, once this new official office is established, what kind of mansion should it be placed under?"

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

A strange gaze suddenly flashed in Han Yi's eyes.

Cheng Yaojin suddenly said, "Is this still necessary to discuss? It is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Sixteen Guards."

Changsun Wuji snorted, but did not make any noise.

When Chu Suiliang faced Cheng Yaojin, of course, he did not dare to curse like Changsun Wuji, rolled up his sleeves and just fucked, and smiled and said, "What do you say about Duke Lu?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "This new government office needs to maintain public order, and there will definitely be accusation of the murderer. If you literati cannot do this, of course you have to return to the Sixteen Guards' Mansion, or hand it over to the Sixth Route of the East Palace."

Chu Suiliang smiled and said, "Duke Lu, don't forget, I said just now that soldiers are used to fight wars, not to deal with their own people, so this is inappropriate."

Cheng Yaojin pointed at Chu Suiliang and said, "You are just a stubborn person. Isn't it enough to change this? You say they are soldiers, they are just. You say they are not, they are not. This is just under the jurisdiction of the Sixteen Guards."

Chu Suiliang didn't care and waved his hand and said, "If this new government office was established for war, it should be under the jurisdiction of the Sixteen Guards. However, Han Yi just said that the purpose of the establishment of this new government office is to protect the people according to law. This is the responsibility of the new government office, and it should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice."

"What Ministry of Justice?" Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Ministry of Justice knows how to examine criminals. Can you catch thieves?"

Chu Suiliang smiled and said, "Catching thieves is just a trivial matter. Ordinary yamen runners can catch thieves, but can the Sixteen Guards understand the law?"
