They argued endlessly and made a bet!
Silence!
After Bai Yu finished speaking, the entire court fell silent!
What did Zhangsun Wuji say previously?
"General Bai, even if you want to manage the land tax, where is the document you drafted? General Bai wouldn't want to just give it to him verbally, would he? The drafting of the land tax law was not as simple as the Jinyiwei and the Network. It only required General Bai to give an order!”
This was what Zhangsun Wuji had said before.
What did Fang Xuanling say?
"General Bai, it's better not to embarrass yourself. The land tax law is not that simple!”
These were Fang Xuanling's words!
And now?
Bai Yu was able to recite the Land Law at the age of five. When was that?
During the Sui Dynasty!
At this moment, the entire court was silent!
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling's faces hurt! This was because Bai Yu was blatantly slapping him in the face. Moreover, it was a slap in the face in front of all the civil and military officials in the court!
Zhangsun Wuji didn't dare to doubt Bai Yu's words at all. Did he dare to doubt Bai Yu's words?
Did he dare to say that Bai Yu was just bluffing? Did he dare to say that Bai Yu was lying? Did he dare to make Bai Yu recite the Law of the Land and Water Law in court?
Zhangsun Wuji did not dare!
Fang Xuanling didn't dare!
Not a single official in the entire court dared to do so!
Whether it was Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, or all the officials in the court, who didn't know what kind of shocking things Bai Yu had done in the year he had been by Li Shiming's side?
He had single-handedly established the Network of the Nine Gates. In just a year, the network's influence had spread throughout the entire world!
He had single-handedly established the Brocade Guard of the Nine Gates in just a year. Who in the Great Tang would dare to do anything against the law?
The Flying Guillotine who single-handedly established the Nine Gates and connected the imperial court and the martial world. Did the martial world not know about the Flying Guillotine?
He had single-handedly established the East Chamber. Who in the imperial court did not know that the East Chamber had spies all over the court?
He single-handedly established the Profound Language Pavilion and proposed that everyone in the world could enter the Profound Language Pavilion to study and enter the official career through the Profound Language Pavilion!
What Bai Yu had done in just a year, what would others do?
This was something that others would never be able to achieve in their entire lives!
This was something that others would have to look up to in their entire lives!
Therefore, no matter what happened to Bai Yu, no matter what he did, in the eyes of Zhangsun Wuji and the other ministers, there was no surprise or doubt!
Because this person was Bai Yu!
Because his name was Bai Yu!
So at this moment, when Bai Yu proposed his own land tax law, Zhangsun Wuji wanted to doubt it, but he did not dare to!
Therefore, Zhangsun Wuji finally moved his mouth and looked at Bai Yu. General Bai's five-year-old recitation of the land tax law was already outdated, right? What His Majesty wants now is a brand new land tax law that suits the Great Tang!”
" Lord Zhangsun," Bai Yu smiled at Zhangsun Wuji and said," Which ear of yours heard me say that my land tax law is not suitable for the current Tang Empire?"”
Silence!
Bai Yu's words silenced the entire court. Because no one had expected that Bai Yu would really come up with a land tax law that was suitable for the Great Tang!
All the officials present thought that Bai Yu was only targeting Zhangsun Wuji.
Because they all knew that Bai Yu had never been on good terms with the Guanlong ministers.
And now…Bai Yu seemed to have a land tax law suitable for the Great Tang.
At this moment, Li Shiming looked at Bai Yu with surprise in his eyes. Or rather, the moment Bai Yu proposed the land tax law, Li Shiming looked at Bai Yu with ecstasy!
He knew White Feather too well. White Feather never lied. Since Bai Yu said that there was a land tax law suitable for the Great Tang, then there must be one.
Moreover, it would definitely be better than Zhangsun Wuji's land tax law and more suitable for the Great Tang.
Because this was Bai Yu's personality. If Bai Yu didn't do it, it was fine. If he did, he would definitely be better than the others!
Therefore, Li Shiming could not help but look at Bai Yu and get up. He said excitedly,"My dear minister, tell me about your land tax law!"”
At this moment, Li Shi Min was extremely excited!
After all, the Great Tang had just been established. What was the most important thing for the Great Tang?
As a wise ruler, Li Shi Min knew this all too well!
Live and work in peace and contentment!
He didn't have to worry about food and clothing!
This was what the Great Tang should do. This was also the reason why Li Er signed the humiliating alliance with the Turks in the records of later generations!
This was because Li Er clearly knew that the Great Tang was not suited for war with the Turks. The Great Tang needed to live and work in peace!
At this moment, Bai Yu actually had a land tax law that was suitable for the Great Tang. What did this mean for the Great Tang?
Just like Zhangsun Wuji, Li Er did not expect Bai Yu to be so proficient in agriculture.
Therefore, how could Li Er not be excited?
Hearing Li Er's question, Bai Yu smiled at Zhangsun Wuji and said to Li Shiming,"Your Majesty, let's listen to the revised land tax law first."?”
Li Shiming instantly understood what Bai Yu meant.
This was also what Li Er wanted to see. He had a conflict in the imperial court. This was a compulsory lesson for every emperor.
Therefore, after Bai Yu finished speaking, Li Shiming looked at Zhangsun Wuji and smiled.”
"This old minister obeys the decree!"
After Zhangsun Wuji said that, he looked at Bai Yu and opened the book on the land tax law in his hand. He slowly read out,"Carry out the tax system of 'rent transfer.' The so-called "rent, employment, and adjustment" meant: "If there is land, there will be rent; if there is a body, there will be employment; if there is a mouth, there will be adjustment.
"Rents: The farmers pay the government grain as land tax. Each person rents two stones of millet.
Transfer: It means that farmers pay local specialties to the government. The transfer will be 20 feet each of Ling, silk and silk produced in the local area, and one-fifth of the cloth. For silk, silk and silk, three taels of cotton will be transported, and for cloth, three catties of hemp will be transported.
Yong: It was the peasants who served the court with labor instead of paying things. It was the so-called "labor instead of Yong". According to the regulations, each adult must serve 20 days of labor every year, and 2 days of labor in leap months. If they do not accept labor, they will be replaced by silk or cloth, which is equivalent to three feet of silk or three feet, seven inches and five minutes of cloth every day.
In times of disaster, there was a system of exemption. Where floods, droughts, insects and frosts are disasters, there are points. If the loss is more than four tenths, the rent will be exempted; If the loss is more than six tenths, the rent will be exempted. All taxes and corvee above seven losses are exempted. If the mulberry and hemp have been exhausted, they will be exempted from the transfer of taxes. If they have already served and lost taxes, they will be exempted from taxes for the following year.
" As long as there is a fee for service, a coin of tax, we will first…" Zhangsun Wuji said a lot. When Zhangsun Wuji finished speaking, the entire court was silent!
After the silence, Li Shiming couldn't help but say,"Okay!" What a good auxiliary machine!"
Li Shiming cheered, and Zhangsun Wuji looked smug. He had already been perfecting the land tax law when Li Shimin was still the king of Qin!
However, just as Zhangsun Wuji's smugness appeared on his face, before he could even bloom, Bai Yu looked at Zhangsun Wuji and shook his head.”
