Li Tai left, Li Yuanying stayed and then asked Xiao Deyan to tell him. He was so tired that he was really out of sight and asked someone to lead him to the empty room to rest.

Li Yuanying slept soundly. Liu Baolin in the palace learned that he was staying in the Wei Palace. He tossed and turned late at night and did not fall asleep. He got up and lighted the light to do needlework.

After carefully sewing it through stitches, Liu Baolin gradually became peaceful. Although his son likes to play and make fun of it, he has never suffered any losses since he was a child. No matter how rifted he and Li Tai have, Li Tai cannot attack him in his mansion. Isn’t that a fool?

Mr. Xiao is very knowledgeable. Since his son is determined to learn, he should support him fully and cannot hold his son back. Liu Baolin thought things through clearly before putting away his unfinished autumn clothes to rest.

The news that Li Yuanying went to the Wei Palace was only spread to His Majesty Li Er's ears from the eunuch early the next morning. It was when His Majesty Li Er was dressing and mentioned that Princess Jinyang and the others did not find Li Yuanying yesterday and were depressed all night. His Majesty Li Er said wonderingly: "That kid didn't come back tonight?"

He replied left and right: "I sent someone to come back and say that he wanted to ask Mr. Xiao how to write an article and stayed in the Wei Palace at night."

His Majesty Li Er said, "He really likes Xiao Qing." Xiao Deyan is a well-educated scholar. He is old and has experienced many dynasties and has many disciples. He is much more extensive in terms of knowledge and knowledge than ordinary people. He is indeed a good object to seek advice. If Xiao Deyan was ten or twenty years younger, he might have used it more, instead of just letting him compile books and study history.

The left and right dared not discuss important matters in the court, but they dared to say something about King Teng: "Old Master Xiao is kind and patient. King Teng can't make trouble when he meets him. I don't know how to be obedient."

His Majesty Li Er said: "That kid is indeed obedient when he meets someone he likes, and makes trouble when he doesn't like it. Unfortunately, I have asked Xiao Qing to help Qingque edit books, otherwise I can let Xiao Qing be his teacher as he wishes."

Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er said this casually. Li Tai didn't have the chance to hear it. Otherwise, he would really tear Li Yuanying away and scold His Majesty Li Er for being partial! Will Li Yuanying make a big fuss? If you can make a fuss, you will give whatever you want. It's too much!

Although Li Tai didn't know that His Majesty Li Er wanted to arrange Xiao Deyan to Li Yuanying, he was not the one who repayed his grievances with kindness. Yesterday, he was stimulated by Li Yuanying, and his new and old hatreds surged in his heart. After waking up the next day, he asked someone to arrange the matter and ask someone to motivate the court officials to study Li Yuanying's book.

I sell so many things to do in the name of imperial tea!

Even those who are children won’t put their ideas on their father. Why is Li Yuanying?

He made money so happily, right? He vomited out all the money he asked Li Yuanying to take!

Li Yuanying stayed in the Wei Palace the next day and did not leave. In addition to learning how to write articles with Xiao Deyan, he also asked Xiao Deyan about the issues mentioned yesterday about scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Following Xiao Deyan, he took the current taxes of the court. The court now collects taxes based on taxes, which means giving each person a certain amount of land, paying a certain amount of rice, grain, silk, and serving twenty days of labor per year according to the head of the people.

Based on the current situation, such taxes are not high, which is enough to allow the people to recuperate. However, Xiao Deyan specifically mentioned that the royal relatives, noble officials, Taoist monks, and rich craftsmen are all exempt from taxes.

Li Yuanying didn't quite understand the key points: "Is there anything wrong with this?" He is a royal relative, so it's good that he can be exempted from taxes. He doesn't give money to the emperor, so he will bother himself!

Xiao Deyan said: "In Liezi, there is a story about Yugong moving mountains. It says that Yugong wants to move the mountain in front of the door so that he can travel smoothly. Zhishu thought it was ridiculous when he heard it. How could a person move the mountain away? Yugong replied to him: 'Although my death, I have a son to survive; my son has a grandson, and my grandson has a son; my son has a son, and my grandson has a grandson; my son has a son, and my grandson has a grandson; my descendants are endless, but the mountains do not increase, so why bother and uneven?'"

Li Yuanying hadn't read "Lie Zi" yet, so he secretly wrote down the title of the book and decided to look back. He liked the storytelling books the most!

Li Yuanying said: "What does this have to do with taxes?"

Xiao Deyan said: "Think about it, how many children are the Supreme Emperor and how many children are His Majesty? Do you want to marry and have children? Do you have children and brothers in the family of the officials in the court? Will the rich family buy land and build houses and marry and take concubines when they are rich?"

After Xiao Deyan said this, Li Yuanying understood that he had more than twenty brothers alone, and there were countless sisters. Apart from the death of prematureness, the brothers and sisters who were killed were all over the place. As for his nephew, there were many. There were still many of them not given away for a hundred books last time!

Li Yuanying calculated it in his mind, a little shocked: "Then there will definitely be more and more people who do not have to bear taxes in the future." He thought about it carefully and added, "Taxes are collected by the head. If a person has thousands of acres of land, he only needs to pay taxes for himself, right? If I have land like me, I have land and rent it to people without land to plant it, and they don't have to pay taxes without land. I am a royal relative and don't have to pay taxes, so I don't have to pay taxes for this entire land!"

Xiao Deyan liked his extraordinary intelligence the most, nodded and said, "That's it."

This was the first time Li Yuanying learned about this aspect. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he felt: "No wonder Han Zi wanted to write about the 'five worms' and 'eight traitors'. If this continues, this son gave birth to a grandson and a son, and he didn't have to pay taxes and have money to buy land and land. The Tang Dynasty must have divided it up for people."

Xiao Deyan stopped talking.

Li Yuanying sat alone and thought about it.

No wonder, he said, why did such a big Tang Dynasty say nothing? It turned out that small taxes had such tricks. However, after knowing the root of the disaster, he didn't know how to solve it.

If someone has money, he must not refuse to buy land. Land is the foundation and the guarantee. As long as you have land in hand, you will not die. Who doesn’t want to buy more? Even if he thinks that the more land, the better. He will be happier in the whole world! He is like this himself, how can he ask others not to do this?

Li Yuanying thought about it for a long time, but didn't think of the reason. He humbly asked Xiao Deyan what solution was there.

Xiao Deyan sighed and said, "If I have a solution, I will go to His Majesty to talk to you even if I put my old bones on it. But how can there be a perfect method in the world?" Xiao Deyan explained to Li Yuanying carefully, "For example, the Han Dynasty hopes to encourage farmers and sericultures, and does not want the people to be merchants for the sake of market profit, so they will pay heavy taxes to the rich. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, all the merchants are in trouble and need to devote themselves to doing things that are made between the north and the south, so the rich are exempted from taxes, and the exchanges between goods and goods will not be paid. These are all methods that the wise and capable people in the court choose according to the times, and it is very appropriate for the situation at that time."

Li Yuanying said: "The situation will change in the future. The original method is inappropriate. Can't it be changed?"

Xiao Deyan said: "If you worked hard to save money and buy land, and the court suddenly told you to change the tax law and charge you a lot of extra money, would you be happy? It doesn't matter if one or two people are not happy. If everyone in the world is unhappy, how do you change it?"

Li Yuanying stopped talking.

This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, it’s too difficult! Thinking about his emperor brother and his eldest nephew, Li Yuanying felt more and more that they worked so hard, and it was really hard for the emperor to be!

Seeing Li Yuanying's brows frowning tightly, Xiao Deyan comforted her warmly: "You are still young, don't think too much."

Xiao Deyan saw Li Yuanying's behavior and felt that this child was different from others, so he would tell him these things deeply. He was old and all he could do was to plant a seed in the hearts of these younger generations to see if these seeds will take root and sprout in the future.

Li Yuanying nodded in agreement.

He couldn't think of a solution, so he might as well stop thinking about it. When he built a large academy in the future, he would leave this problem to the students in the academy to think about it. These students would also have sons and grandchildren, thinking about it generation after generation, and they could always solve it if there really a problem in the future!

Li Yuanying made up his mind and stopped bothering Xiao Deyan. He happily returned to the palace. When he returned to the palace, he told Liu Baolin that he had studied with Xiao Deyan for a whole night and did not feel tired at all!

When Liu Baolin saw that he had come back in a hurry, he felt relieved. The soft voice made him study hard when he wanted to learn, so as not to disappoint Mr. Xiao.

Li Yuanying agreed immediately.

Li Yuanying came back with a new thing in his mind, but did not shut himself in the house to think about it, but went to find Yizi and the others to play. Recently, Li Yuanying was busy with the matter of Qianjin Tea, and he came up with ideas and drawing pictures, and slipped over to see the grand auction. He really neglected several baby nieces, and all turned their backs on him!

Li Yuanying sat cross-legged and sighed, "It seems that you don't know how lively it was when I heard about the tea selling yesterday."

Gao Yang loved the most lively, and couldn't help it. He turned around and asked, "Why didn't you take us there?"

Li Yuanying said: "Didn't Changle go to the palace yesterday? You just throw it away Changle and go out to the palace to play?"

Changle is his eldest niece. Yesterday he came to the palace to meet His Majesty Li Er and met with his sisters. When Li Yuanying was a child, he liked this gentle and beautiful niece very much. He often asked her to play with her, but within two years, Changle married to Changsun's house!

Li Yuanying hasn't seen Changle for a long time, but he was thinking about the excitement of selling tea, so he still found an opportunity to escape from the palace.

After all, the older Changle is, the more rules she is. When she goes back to the palace to see her sisters, he can't take them to play, which is boring.

When Li Yuanying mentioned Changle, Yizi also turned around and said, "You ran out to play by yourself! My sister is asking you!"

Li Yuanying said: "I will take you to Changsun Mansion to see her!"

After hearing this, Yizi and others became happy and surrounded Li Yuanying and asked why a pound of tea was sold at such a high price yesterday. Even the palace spread! Li Yuanying told them a lot, and promised that the corn in Kuiyuan could be almost eaten. He turned around and asked Changle to have a piece of roasted corn. Then several little loli were pulled his uncle and shouted.

At this time, Gaochang actually sent back the good news. This good news was even more bizarre than the legendary story outside. It was about Gaochang that he thought Chang'an was far away and the Tang Dynasty would never send troops here. He was still singing and dancing in early May, but he heard someone say that the Tang army was coming to their doorstep!

When the Lord Gaochang heard this, he fainted on the spot and disappeared that night.

The king is dead, and the new king cannot stand firm at all. What can the Tang army do when they are at the city? They can only open the city gate and surrender!

So Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun were equal to the war, and they took down a country before they could fight!
