Set up Zi Xuan and Gongsun Ruji!
A bet?
When he heard that Bai Yu wanted to make a bet with him, Zhangsun Wuji's first reaction was to be vigilant!
Because Bai Yu was too strange in his heart.
Therefore, Zhangsun Wuji looked at Bai Yu and asked,"A bet?" What bet do you want to make with me?”
Looking at Zhangsun Wuji's cautious appearance, Bai Yu could not help but laugh in his heart. Was he that terrifying?
Looking at Zhangsun Wuji, Bai Yu smiled and said," Lord Zhangsun, the land tax that I proposed can increase the annual grain production of the Great Tang by three times in half a year. Do you believe it?"”
Swoosh!
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, all the officials in the court gasped!
Increase the annual grain production by three times?
What kind of concept was this!
If this was truly the case, then the Great Tang would only need half a year to not only restore agriculture to normal, but also increase it several times over!
Food was the most important thing for the people!
Whether it was the Great Tang or the modern era, the most fundamental thing for the people was to eat. Only by solving the problem of food could the country develop other aspects.
Therefore, when White Feather came to the Tang Empire, the system gave him the task of assisting Li Er and building a prosperous Tang Empire. White Feather had already had a plan in his heart.
In the beginning, Li Er had nothing. Other than a group of people like Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui…who were all helping him, Li Er had no money, no soldiers, no love!
From the incident at Black Tortoise Sect, it could be seen how much Li Yuan disliked his second son!
Thus, when Bai Yu first came to the Great Tang to assist Li Shiming, he had placed all his attention on establishing the Nine Gates, strengthening his military strength, and fighting for military power!
Because Bai Yu especially liked the words of a great man of his era,"Political power comes from the barrel of a gun!"
Whoever controlled the military was the one in charge.
Therefore, Bai Yu established the Nine Gates step by step and helped Li Shimin get the position of General of Heavenly Strategy through the deterrence of the Nine Gates!
After passing through the nine gates, he killed the former Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and helped Li Shimin sit on the throne.
After Li Shiming became the Crown Prince, Bai Yu began to consider his blueprint for the prosperous Tang Empire.
Agriculture!
Food was the most important thing for the people!
Before the country was stable and the people were united, agriculture was a problem that any dynasty or country needed to solve.
Therefore, at that time, Bai Yu had already begun to consider the Land tax law that was suitable for the Great Tang and the agriculture that was suitable for the development of the Great Tang!
How could Bai Yu not know the pros and cons of his proposal?
Bai Yu had studied this question in university in his previous life.
Thus, in light of the current situation in the Great Tang, Bai Yu had already revised and perfected a new set of land tax laws!
At this moment, after Bai Yu finished speaking, Li Shimin was the most excited person in the court.
Just as Bai Yu had said before, when His Majesty heard of Lord Zhangsun's land tax law, he cheered. If His Majesty heard of this humble subject's land tax law, he would probably jump up in joy!
At this moment, Li Shi Min did not jump up!
Li Shi Min stood up!
He stood up from the dragon throne!
What words should be used to describe Li Er's expression at this moment?
Excited?
Excitement?
No words could describe Li Er at this moment!
Because Li Er knew Bai Yu's character too well. Bai Yu never lied. If he said that he could triple the annual grain production of the Great Tang, it could be four times or even more!
How could Li Er not be excited about such news?
Li Er stood up from the dragon throne and looked at Bai Yu excitedly." Brother Yu, is that true?"”
Li Er then said,"It's my fault. When did Brother Yu's words not come true?!"”
After Li Er finished speaking, he looked at Zhangsun Wuji and smiled.”
Silence!
As soon as Li Shiming finished speaking, the court fell silent again!
No one had expected Li Shiming to join in and add a wager.
Bai Yu smiled at Zhangsun Wuji.
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji was riding a tiger, unable to back down!
He didn't believe that Bai Yu's land tax could triple the grain yield of the Great Tang in half a year. At the same time, after he mentioned the pros and cons of the tax law, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
He was able to see the pros and cons of farming in such a short period of time, but could Bai Yu not see it?
Bai Yu must know!
Zhangsun Wuji even thought that when Bai Yu formulated this so-called land tax law, he had already perfectly resolved the pros and cons.
Thus, although Zhangsun Wuji did not believe that Bai Yu could triple the grain production of the Great Tang in half a year, he did not dare to agree.
It was only because the person who proposed this land tax law was Bai Yu!
Just as Zhangsun Wuji did not dare to agree, Fang Xuanling turned to Li Shiming and said," Since Your Majesty has proposed to increase the stakes, how about this old minister add a stake as well?"”
As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Du Ruhui, who had always been inseparable from him, followed up.”
As soon as Du Ruhui finished speaking, all the officials who were under their command joined in, and the entire court instantly became lively!
For a moment, it seemed that the entire court was filled with officials who were dependent on the Guanlong officials.
Li Shi Min smiled bitterly in his heart when he saw this. This was why Bai Yu said that he was too lazy to manage a country.
A person who didn't even care about the position of the Supreme Martial Artist, how could you ask him to form cliques in the Imperial Court?
Thus, when more than half of the courtiers chose to rely on the important officials of Guanlong and the other ministers chose to remain neutral, Li Shimin looked at Bai Yu and smiled." I think highly of Bai Yu, so I bet on you."”
Li Shiming looked at Bai Yu and said," Within half a year, the grain production of the Tang Empire will increase by three times. I will betroth Li Zhi to Brother Yu!"”
Swoosh!
Silence!
A strange silence!
Who is Lizhi?
She was Li Shi Min's eldest daughter. In history, in the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin married Li Lizhi to Zhangsun Wuji's eldest son, Zhangsun Chong.
And now?
History was destined to change with the arrival of Bai Yu!
Li Shimin actually betrothed Li Lizhi to Bai Yu?
Hearing Li Shiming's words, Bai Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. Li Lizhi was the eldest daughter of Li Er, and Bai Yu naturally knew about her. Moreover, when he came to the Great Tang and assisted Li Shimin, who was still the King of Qin, he had come into contact with Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi liked sticking to Bai Yu even more.
When Li Shi Min said that he would be betrothed to Li Lizhi, a voice sounded out in the silent court.
"This old minister does not agree!"
