"Just a casual change like this can greatly increase the labor force?”
Old Sun, who was at the side, also leaned over to watch. He felt that it was nothing more than adding something to the long straight shaft plow. Was it so magical?
He did not believe it. It was no wonder. After all, Lin Xuan had delicate skin and tender flesh at a glance. Even if he was born ordinary, he had probably not worked for a long time. How could he know the principle of this tool?
When Lin Xuan heard this, he only smiled and did not explain.
This thing was the product of the Jiangnan people's long-term practice. It would definitely be effective. When the time came, he would know as long as he produced it according to his blueprints.
Li Er waved his hand. Although he also had doubts about this matter, he would not say it out loud.
True knowledge comes from practice!
He immediately handed the blueprint to Old Sun, indicating for him to take good care of it.
"Then Old Xuan, what about the economy?”
Then, Li Er continued to ask. Now that he had just taken over, there were many things to do. He indeed needed an urgent and powerful policy to change the current situation.
Lin Xuan originally did not want to talk. After all, it was useless to say these things. Li Shimin could not hear them at all. However, seeing how enthusiastic Old Li was, he still nodded.
"The prosperity of a country does not lie in the emperor or the army, but in the people.”
"Water can overturn a boat, but it can also carry it. If a country can't even survive, how can it develop?”
"Therefore, in my opinion, the first step is to vigorously restore and develop agriculture.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xuan picked up his teacup and took a sip.
This made Li Er a little anxious, so he continued to ask.
"Then how should we develop it?"
"It's very simple. Send officials to various commodity trading areas to manage and strictly limit the trading time.”
"The implementation of the equal land system and rent regulation.”
Lin Xuan said with a smile. The equal field system could greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the farmers. The tiller would have land, and the agricultural and handicraft industries would develop rapidly.
In particular, the regulation of rent and employment had a great effect on the development of the first and middle stages of the Tang Dynasty. It was particular that if there was land, there would be rent, if there was a family, there would be employment, and if there were men, there would be employment.
In this way, the stability of the Great Tang and the country's tax revenue could be stabilized.
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"Old Xuan, you're indeed a god!"
A moment later, Li Er said excitedly. This made Lin Xuan extremely speechless. You're acting like Li Shimin.
Old Sun, who was at the side, was also completely convinced.
"Alright, Old Li, it's almost midnight now. It's getting late.”
In the end, Lin Xuan yawned. It was meaningless to continue chatting. After all, the three of them were ordinary people. It was useless no matter how happy they chatted.
Li Er did not insist on this and immediately bid farewell and left.
"Your Majesty, do you really think what he said is effective?”
On the way, Zhangsun Wuji still felt that it was a little mysterious, although it sounded like it was true.
"Ancestors, when did you become so paranoid?”
Li Er glanced at Zhangsun Wuji and smiled. He would know if Lin Xuan's suggestion was useful after trying.
The next day, morning court.
Inside Taiji Palace.
Li Er immediately told the plan he had stolen from Lin Xuan last night, wanting the officials to discuss it.
However, he also knew that it would definitely cause a huge commotion. After all, he was also very surprised when he heard about it last night.
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about whether or not this so-called Curved Plow is effective.”
"This kind of rent modification is absolutely not allowed!”
"Your humble subject urges Your Majesty to reconsider!"
As expected, the remonstrant Wei Zheng was the first to stand up and deny it with a serious expression.
The land sharing system was actually fine. After all, it had been passed down from the previous generation. However, they were very puzzled by the rent adjustment.
And the unknown always filled people with fear!
The other ministers also agreed.
For a moment, this made Li Er a little difficult, but he still had some confidence in Lin Xuan.
"I dare to ask, where did Your Majesty get this suggestion from?”
"This is nonsense! His heart should be punished!"
At this moment, Wei Zheng spoke again with a solemn expression.
"Oh, then Xuan Cheng, do you dare to make a bet with me?”
Immediately, Li Er's interest was piqued as he smiled and said.
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Wei Zheng straightened his body and said loudly. Others were afraid of the Emperor, but he was not.
"Alright then, let's bet on whether or not this rent modification is useful!”
"If you win, Zhen will agree to one of your requests. If you lose?”
Li Erlong's eyes opened slightly, a gleam flickering within.
"If I lose, I, Wei Zheng, will not speak for a month!”
Without waiting for Li Er to speak, Wei Zheng glared at him.
In an instant, the entire hall was shocked. Even Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others could not help but click their tongues. Ironhead was indeed a ruthless person!
