"What? Fan Yang Lu's family and Zhao Jun Li's 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 in exclamation.
When he was in Ganludian with Xiao Yu earlier, Li Er saw Lantian County's
county government donating 10,000 yuan, and he took advantage of the trend to
discuss Lantian County's "Getting Rich Jing", 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 Didn't these aristocratic families all have
their nostrils in the sky before? 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: "Fan Yang Lu, donate 30,000 guan! Zhao Jun Li, donate 30,000!"
"Huh! These people are nothing more than grass on the wall! Wherever they are
strong, they will naturally stand on which side!"
Li Er frowned and snorted coldly, "It's like making me forget all the things
they did before and relax my guard against them. It's a wishful thinking!"
Empress Changsun asked in confusion: "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 of the city, the strongest Qinghe Cui, Boring Cui, and Xingyang Zheng
three families. After defeating Fuzhu, the Lu family and Zhao Junli 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 invincible!"
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. They
are helping the court to support the army. When Datang returns from the
northern expedition to the grassland, the imperial power is in full swing, and
I believe that even the Zheng and Li families will not dare to have two hearts
at that time, right?"
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
they would definitely shout "This wave of blood loss" or "Fucked", and then
they were extremely depressed!
Although their participation in the fundraising meeting was indeed to gain the
court’s favor and let the court relax its vigilance against Lu and Li, but Li
Er and Empress Changsun could 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 the streets are said to be made of
cement developed by the Qiquge Workshop. There is also this Longmen Inn,
whether it is 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 the cognition of Li Jingxuan's
family. 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 dispense water, all of this Everything, as the eldest son of the
Li family of Zhao Jun, Li Jingxuan 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 saw the surface, but you didn'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. He looked serious and asked.
Lu Chengqing was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "As you said,
Lantian County is full of shops and streets. If it weren't for Lantian
County's county seat is far less than Chang'an City, I am afraid that 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 tax 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 pondering, he
said solemnly:
"Lantian County is prosperous in commerce. 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 it's only half a year. Could it
be that Lantian County's county government has collected 10,000 business taxes
with the help of the Department of Commerce in this half a year?"
Although Li Jingxuan is the eldest son of Zhao Jun Li's family, he is
definitely not the elder brothers of the family who do not eat the fireworks.
He understands the concept of a county that can collect 10,000 taxes in half a
year. This is even ordinary. Achievement that is difficult to achieve in the
upper-class counties!
And a year ago, Lantian County was just a small middle-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 Yonganhou does not
collect the taxes collected by Lantian County every year. All taxes in Lantian
County 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 taxes collected! This is a lot of
cost, Jing Xuan, you know ?"
"What? So, isn't the tax collected by Lantian County in half a year far more
than 10,000? Then its tax income for one year..."
Having said that, Li Jingxuan seemed to have thought of something, and he
didn't dare to say anything 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
taxes collected by Lantian County’s county government should be far more than
30,000. Of course, as this trend continues, the second and third years will
definitely increase. Because the business environment of Lantian County is
getting better and better~www.mtlnovel.com~ can also attract more businessmen
to do business here! Imagine if there are more than 1,500 counties in Datang,
a few more With ten counties like Lantian County, how wealthy the imperial
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 in my clan,
many people are still dreaming of losing both to the Tang Dynasty and the
Turks. They never thought that today's imperial court has many generals, one
is not short of rations, two is not short of armor and equipment, and there
are peerless generals such as Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi
Jingde. Although the Turks are strong, they think It's not easy to make such a
powerful Tang court seriously hurt!
Moreover, the elders of the clan only thought about the snipe and the 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 Tang court's strength would be prosperous? At that time, our two
great families will go to show good to the court again. Will the court that
just won the Turkic victory accept our show? "
Lu Chengqing nodded and agreed: "Jing Xuan, you have a reason to say that.
There are some elders in our family who lack the 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. This world has changed! Today, I saw
the land of Lantian County, which has undergone earth-shaking changes, and 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!"
