The First Family of Tang Dynasty

  Chapter 1299 I am the queen, like Zhang Zifang, hahaha... (seeking subscription for tickets)

  Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin had a fierce quarrel with several Yushi and ministers above the court, but fortunately there was no physical conflict this time.

  However, His Majesty was still furious, severely reprimanded, and fined the most vigorous ministers and workers for half a year's salary, including Cheng Yaojin of course.

After   , he slapped his **** straight away, leaving the ministers who looked at each other indifferently and left the palace.

  When Li Shimin returned to the Temple of Ganlu, his face was refreshed.

  Looking at that, the grandson empress who happened to be reading a book and drinking tea in the Ganlu Hall, waiting for her husband to return, smiled and stood up.

   "What good things happened to your husband today? He looks so beaming."

  Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, sat behind the case, took the tea that the lady poured him, and took a sip.

  Well, it is true that this wolfberry chrysanthemum tea is more accustomed to drinking, it can not only clear the liver and improve eyesight, but also maintain health.

  Nowadays, Li Shimin wakes up in the morning and drinks green tea, and at noon he drinks wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea. In the evening, he drinks the black tea that is good for the spleen and stomach.

   "There is no good thing, it's just a bad thing, it finally solved the problem temporarily, alas..."

  I thought of what the guy Cheng Yaojin said in the court today, as well as the two unlucky ghosts whose faces were so green that they turned pale.

  Li Shimin just chuckled out loudly.

  Seeing this scene, Empress Changsun asked curiously. Hearing that General Cheng was making trouble again, she shook her head helplessly.

   "But having said that, Gu Qing was in a hurry to get to the power, and gave the old man a wake-up call. I really didn't notice this problem before."

  "Najiaozhou has fertile land and mostly fertile fields. Three crops of rice are grown three times a year. It is indeed easy to hurt farmers because of low grain."

  "If the low price of the grain hurts the peasants, then how can the people move to Jiaozhou Dudu’s Mansion to cultivate more fertile land."

  "It has to be said that Hantang Commercial Bank is willing to respect the orders of the Jiaozhou Metropolitan Government and use all the fertile fields they purchase to grow sugarcane.

  I also signed an agreement with the Metropolitan Government. The sugarcane produced by the army’s farms in the Metropolitan Government will be collected at the market price...

  I did a great thing for me. "

  "Otherwise, after the two million acres of fields have been planted, all of them will be planted with three crops of rice.

  Even if Gu Qing's memorial arrived in Chang'an, my will will be delivered to Jiaozhou. I'm afraid it will be late..."

  Listening to Li Shimin's explanation of the causes and consequences of the matter, Empress Changsun couldn't help being afraid for a while.

   "What the husband said is extremely true, and my concubine did not expect that after three crops of rice were planted on the fields in Jiaozhou, the annual membership is so amazing."

   "Yes, when I heard this news, my first thought at the time was that if Guanzhong Tiandi could have such an annual income, I should have no worries..."

  Hearing these words, Empress Changsun couldn't help but her face became dark, and she sighed and nodded.

   "What the husband said is quite true. Now Guanzhong has a low yield per acre, and it still needs to transport grain from the Central Plains to Guanzhong every year to make up for it."

  Li Shimin nodded with deep approval, and said after taking a sip of tea soup.

  "As a husband, I still remember that when my father was in power, he only needed to transfer 200,000 shi from outside the pass to Chang'an to get enough food in Guanzhong.

At the end of the year, the amount of grain transferred from outside the pass has increased to a million shi, and the access to the pass is difficult and dangerous. "

   "Do you still remember the Guanyin maidservant, when Zhenguan was six years old, the Guanzhong drought was very serious, and there was an urgent need to transfer grain into the customs."

   "Only at Sanmenxia, ​​there are seven subversive grain ships, alas..."

  Queen Changsun nodded, raised her hand and gently massaged her back and shoulders.

   "It is difficult to enter the customs, but the cost of transporting food by land is even more expensive. This is also a last resort."

  Li Shimin nodded and smiled bitterly.

   "Oh...Yes, since the previous period, Guanzhong's output has been difficult to increase, but Guanzhong's population is becoming more and more prosperous..."

  "We are not producing a lot in the bad times, but Jiaozhou Dudufu is concerned about the production of too much food."

  Hearing these words, Empress Changsun turned away from the topic softly.

   "It seems that the Han and Tang firms established by the gang of younger generations really contributed to the court."

  Li Shimin nodded, narrowed his eyes, and said in a scheming manner.

   "Yes, but if you can think of such weird ideas, I am afraid that it should be Cheng Saburo's boy in all likelihood."

  "This stone honey is a good thing. After all, with this kind of dessert, it is what the common people need every day, but there is no worry that there will be no market."

   spit out a few more words, Li Shimin stroked his long beard and started to have a headache. What should be the next move of the Jiaozhou Dudu Mansion.

  Gu Da’s memorial made it very clear that many financially rich and powerful people also purchased a lot of land in Jiaozhou.

  "Lady, for her husband, I want to have a will. Anyone who purchases fields in Jiaozhou will not be allowed to plant three crops of rice and other staple foods within five years."

  "You can only grow sugarcane, or other crops, what do you think?"

  Hearing this, Empress Changsun thought for a while and shook her head slowly.

  "People travel thousands of miles only for money. If you do this, your husband, you have cut off a lot of people's money."

   "What's more, forcing the planting of sugar cane, my concubine feels that this is a bit inappropriate. After all, not everyone is willing to grow sugar cane to make rock honey..."

  Li Shimin nodded, and couldn't help stroking his long beard painfully.

   "I worked hard for the development of Jiaozhou Dudu Mansion, but I didn't expect that it was only the beginning and I was stumped."

  After empress Longsun pondered for a while, the corners of her mouth suddenly raised slightly.

   "Husband, it's actually not without a solution, it just depends on whether your husband is willing or not."

  Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he looked at his resourceful wife.

   "Those people went to Jiaozhou to buy fields in order to ask for money. If the husband does not allow them to grow food."

   "Then, UU reading www.uukanshu.com other crops, if they pay taxes and add their early investment, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue."

   "In this case, if the husband is paying attention to the long-term benefits of Jiaozhou, it would be better to do this. If they do not plant three crops of rice, the court can exempt them from their land tax. Oh, husband, what are you doing?..."

  Queen Changsun didn’t expect that she was calmly making plans, but she was suddenly attacked by her husband. It’s really...

   Seeing Guanyin’s maidservant with a nervous look on her face, Li Shimin couldn’t help being happy.

   "I am a queen, such as Zhang Zifang, ha ha ha... Guanyin maidservant, this is a good way, really wonderful."

  "It’s not bad. Within five years of reclaiming the land, no staple food can be grown. The court will dispense with their land fortunes. They love to grow other crops. Naturally, there is no problem."

  "...No, no, five years are too short, and within ten, ten years, I will not accept these newly reclaimed fields and a penny of land tax."

   "But no grain is allowed to grow, so that the low-quality grains will hurt the farmers in the Jiaozhou Dudu's area."

  "Ten years...within ten years, I may be able to think of a way to solve the dilemma of Jiaozhou’s high grain yield and how to transport it away."
