Chapter 2053: Gemini worries!

Chapter 1845 Gemini's Secret Worry!

"What? Fan Yang Lu family and Zhao Jun Li family also participated in the

fundraising meeting?"

Inside the palace, the exclamation of Empress Changsun instantly attracted Li

Er's attention, and he couldn't help exclaiming.

When he was in the Ganlu Temple with Xiao Yu earlier, Li Er saw Lantian

County’s county government donating 10,000 yuan, so he discussed with Xiao Yu

about Lantian County’s "Getting Rich", and then he went directly to the harem.

, Regarding the last few lines of the account book, he didn't read it

carefully, so he didn't know that Lu Chengqing and Li Jingxuan participated in

the fundraising meeting!

Listening to Li Er’s question, Empress Changsun pointed to the last two lines

of the account book and said: "Yes! It is written on the account book. It is

said that each of the Lu family and Zhao Junli’s family donated 30,000 guan,

which is really strange, they These aristocratic families used to have

nostrils in the sky? How can they donate so much money to the court now with

such kindness?"

Speaking of the last, Empress Changsun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Li Erxun's reputation went up, and the last two lines of the account book said

impressively: "Fanyang Lu, donate 30,000 guan! Zhao Jun Li, donate 30,000!"

"Huh! These people are nothing more than clumsy! Whichever side is strong,

they will naturally stand on which side!"

Li Er frowned and snorted coldly, "It's like making me forget what they did

before and letting them relax. What a wishful thinking!"

Empress Changsun asked in doubt: "Your Majesty believes that the Lu family and

Li family donated money at the fundraising meeting this time because they want

to make peace with the court?"

"Make peace?"

Li Er shook his head and said, "It is not so much to make peace, but to

temporarily reduce my vigilance against their two great families. In the first

battle, the strongest Qinghe Cui, Boring Cui, and Xingyang Zheng three

families. After defeating Fuzhu, the Lu Family and Zhao Jun Li Family should

feel the crisis? But this situation is only temporary. I believe that once the

court becomes weak, these two families will immediately turn their faces and

restore their original nostrils. A thousand-year-old family who is upturned

and unparalleled!"

Empress Changsun nodded thoughtfully, but then she smiled and said: "Your

Majesty said it is reasonable, but no matter what, Zheng and Li donated 60,000

Guans this time, which can alleviate the current situation of the court. It is

urgent, they can be regarded as helping the court to support the army. When

Datang returns from the northern expedition to the grassland triumphantly, the

emperor's power is in full swing, and I believe that even the Zheng and Li

families will not dare to have two hearts by then?"

Hearing this, Li Er pondered for a moment, and then laughed openly: "Haha!

What the maidservant Guanyin said is very true, regardless of whether these

two families have ghosts or not, but in the end, these sixty thousand sticks

are solid, and this is for nothing. Is there any reason for the court not to

accept money?"

The couple smiled at each other.

Lu Chengqing and Li Jingxuan, who stayed at the Longmen Inn in Lantian County,

didn't know the conversation between Li Er and Empress Changsun. Otherwise,

the two would definitely shout "This wave of blood loss" or "Fucked" and they

were extremely depressed!

Although they participated in the fundraising meeting this time really to gain

the court’s favor and let the court relax its vigilance against Lu and Li, but

Li Er and Empress Changsun can see through their purpose without any effort,

which is not fun. Up!

"Brother Lu, this Lantian County is really different from other places. There

are many shops and streets in the city. All streets are said to be made of

cement developed by Qiquge Workshop. And this Longmen Inn, whether in Zhao

County or Fan Yang, there is no hotel like this majestic style. Of course, the

most important thing is to live comfortably."

In the guest room on the third floor, Li Jingxuan said with emotion to Lu

Chengqing who was sitting beside him.

Everything about the Longmen Inn has subverted Li Jingxuan’s cognition. The

bright and huge windows, the smooth floor, the porcelain white as jade and the

hut without any peculiar smell, and the faucet that can automatically

discharge water. Everything, Li Jingxuan, the eldest son of Zhao Jun's Li

family, had never seen it before. At this moment, Li Jingxuan's heart even

gave birth to such an absurd feeling: This Longmen Inn is even more

comfortable than the one at home!

It is precisely because of this that he will be so emotional.

Hearing this, Lu Chengqing shook his head solemnly, and said, "Jing Xuan, you

only see the surface, but you don't see the hidden things in Lantian County.

This is the real scary place!"

"What does Brother Lu mean?"

Listening to Lu Chengqing's words, Li Jingxuan also put away the smile on his

face, his expression was solemn, and he asked.

Lu Chengqing was silent for a moment, and slowly said, "As you said, Lantian

County is full of shops and streets. If it weren't for Lantian County, it’s

not as large as Chang’an City. I’m afraid this Lantian County might be more

prosperous than Chang’an City! Before we arrived, the county magistrate of

Lantian County actually came to the fundraising meeting with ten thousand

guan.

Ten thousand sticks, of course, is nothing in your eyes, but for a medium-

sized county, I am afraid that ten thousand sticks of taxes will not be

collected a year! But why can the county government of Lantian County take it

out so easily? Jingxuan, do you know the deep meaning? "

Hearing this, Li Jingxuan frowned deeply, and after a moment of indulgence, he

said solemnly:

“Lantian County is prosperous in business. I heard that Lantian County’s

county government established a commerce department at the beginning of this

year to manage commerce in the county and create a good business environment

for businessmen. On the other hand, the commerce department has adjusted the

business tax ratio. A five-fold increase! Now only half a year, does it mean

that Lantian County's county government has collected 10,000 business taxes

with the help of the Department of Commerce in these six months?"

Although Li Jingxuan is the eldest son of the Zhaojun Li family, he is by no

means the elder brothers of the family who do not eat the fireworks. He

understands very well the concept of a county that can collect 10,000 taxes in

half a year. This is even general. An achievement that is difficult to achieve

in the upper-class counties!

And a year ago, Lantian County was just a small and medium-sized county in

Datang!

"Maybe it's far more than this ten thousand consistent!"

Lu Chengqing shook his head again, and said: "I heard that Lantian County

magistrate said when making donations that the landlord of Lantian County

levied every year, but Yonganhou, the landlord, did not receive any money.

Lantian County's taxes must be taken from the people. It is used for the

people, that is to say, the criss-crossing concrete streets we saw in the city

were all built by Lantian County's county government using the tax collected!

This is a lot of cost, Jing Xuan, you know ?"

"What? So, wouldn't the tax collected by Lantian County in half a year far

exceed 10,000? Then its tax revenue for one year..."

Having said that, Li Jingxuan seemed to have thought of something, and he

didn't dare to go any further.

However, Lu Chengqing opened the mouth to help him and said: "In the first

year of Lantian County’s establishment of the Department of Commerce, the tax

collected by Lantian County’s county government should far exceed 30,000. Of

course, if this momentum continues to develop, the second and third years will

definitely increase. Because the business environment in Lantian County is

getting better and better, it can attract more businessmen to do business

here! Imagine that if there are more than 1,500 counties in Datang, there can

be dozens of more Lantian counties. In the county seat, how wealthy the court

will be and how stable the imperial power will be. If the aristocratic family

wants to shake this high mountain boulder, it will probably be more difficult

than climbing!"

Hearing this, Li Jingxuan looked ugly and said: "Among the elders of my clan,

many people are still dreaming of the dream of losing both to the Tang and

Turks in this battle, delusioning that snipes and clams are

fighting~www.mtlnovel.com~Li Jiahao Taking advantage of the fisherman’s

profit, they never thought that today’s imperial court has many generals, no

shortage of military rations, and no shortage of armor and equipment. There

are also peerless generals such as Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi

Jingde. Although the Turks are strong, it is not easy to want such a powerful

Tang court to hurt the vitality!

Moreover, the elders of the clan only thought about the snipe and clam fight

and the fisherman's profit, but they never thought that if the Tang Dynasty

defeated the Turks, then Li Shimin's prestige would be as high as the sky, and

the power of the Tang court would flourish? At that time, our two great

families will go to show good to the court again. Will the court that has just

won the Turkic victory accept our show? "

Lu Chengqing nodded and agreed: "Jing Xuan, you have a reason to say that.

Some elders in our family have too little sense of worry in their hearts. In

their concept, the five surnames and seven hopes are still powerful and

unmatched, but they don’t know it. The way of the world has changed! Today,

after seeing the land of Lantian County, which has undergone earth-shaking

changes, I feel even more that it is a wise move for us to change our route

from Qizhou to participate in the fundraising meeting this time!"

Lu Chengqing’s tone revealed helplessness and happiness, but Li Jingxuan

sighed in agreement, and said, "What Brother Lu said is what the younger

brother thinks!"
