The Ministry of Foreign Affairs changed its name to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The guards on the left and right were Xia Hua soldiers and Tang soldiers.
Lin Hao nodded at each other. He shook his body at the door, tidied his hat, and walked in quickly.
"How's the situation?" he asked as he walked.
"In three days, there were more than 30,000 books of various types in the sales office. There were more than 100,000 copies of ink, pen, and paper in total.”
"Daily necessities take up a small portion, less than 3,000.”
Lin Hao nodded slightly.
This was not unexpected.
Compared to those daily necessities, the ancients valued books and other things more.
However, this was only temporary. After the books became saturated, they would become daily necessities.
"The total sales amount is 1.7 million Tang Yuan.”
"In fact, the bank has exchanged as much as 10 million Tang Yuan!" Secretary Yang continued.”
When he arrived at the office, Lin Hao looked at the documents summarized by the relevant parties. The data was very different.
When it was almost time, Secretary Yang informed him to go to the meeting room.
In addition to the military officers of the Great Tang, everyone from both sides was present.
"Everyone, we should have let everyone rest during the New Year, but Tang Yuanfa is of great importance, so we have to trouble you.”
Lin Hao smiled.
"Minister, you must be joking."
"We are the ones who enjoy the benefits of the monarch, so we should be loyal to the monarch. It's our duty.”
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others said one after another.
"You're being too serious!"
Lin Hao smiled and said,"Then let's start now. The paper currency matter will be supervised by our National Development and Transformation Department. The current situation is very good because of the book problem."”
"However, this is only a small portion. There is still a huge portion.”
"In the future, we'll have to pay the salt and iron tax with paper money.”
"At this time, we still need Minister Zhangsun, Duke Fang, Duke Du, and others to take responsibility. Xia Hua is helping the Great Tang to formulate a reasonable tax model and system.”
"Xia Hua is very experienced in this area."
Regarding taxes.
For the Great Tang's reform, this was no small matter.
The interests involved were all related to the officials of the Great Tang.
The land under their names would not be paid taxes.
This was a privilege, and to remove it from their hands was to violate their interests.
"Minister, please rest assured. We will definitely cooperate with the reform strategy of the Ministry.”
Zhangsun Wuji and the others expressed their stance.
"The second is to sort out the land and population matters of the various prefectures.”
"Strictly clarify the measurement. In order to prevent the people below from deceiving their superiors and subordinates, the Great Tang and Xia Hua will jointly dispatch personnel to form a working group to inspect and supervise.”
"Of course, we can't start now. We'll do it after the spring plowing begins.”
"It's just a precaution. After the paper money tax is over, it's the top priority of our department.”
"Minister, isn't this a little too hasty?" Zhangsun Wuji asked.”
"If such policies are continuously introduced and it happens to be spring ploughing, I'm afraid that the world will panic and cause the spring ploughing to be unfavorable.”"I think we should take it slow." Fang Xuanling agreed.”
" I'm afraid that the world will be shaken by the series of major changes," Du Ruhui said." It will cause great resistance to the department's plans.”
Xia Hua did not say anything. Lin Hao continued,"Cut the Gordian knot quickly. There's no panic. As long as the entire court is united, will anyone dare to make excuses and not follow the national policy?”
"How can someone overturn the heavens if they follow the example of their superiors?”
"You can report this to His Majesty now, and I will tell him in detail," he said firmly.”
Afraid?
What was there to be afraid of?
As long as Xia Hua stood behind them, there would be no power in the world that could rise up.
After the meeting ended.
Lin Hao and Fang Ping talked for a while but did not talk about what happened at the meeting.
"We have some leads on the people we sent to Jiangnan.”Fang Ping took out the investigation report and said,"There are indeed citizens of China wandering in Jiangnan. However, after some investigation, there are no traces of them now. It's as if they have evaporated from the face of the earth.”
"This is a big problem," Fang Ping said with a serious expression."If you're killed, will it affect your mission? If he didn't, then he shouldn't have disappeared. Li Shimin had issued a notice, and he only needed to go to the government to reveal his identity.”
Lin Hao also frowned and looked at it. The facts proved that not only were there Vigilante A, but even a few of Li Bai and Du Fu's poems had been copied. This was enough to prove that he was a transmigrator.
Li Bai and Du Fu hadn't even written this yet.
Who else but a transmigrator could have chased him out?
However, he didn't know how many transmigrators were wandering in the Great Tang, or how many there were in total.
So far, he had only rescued two wandering transmigrators.
Wang Li, Li Hao.
Jiangnan was the third.
Now that he did not know where he was going, it was inevitable that there would be an unknown result in completing the mission.
"Chief of Staff, let them continue to gather information. If it really doesn't work, I'll go there myself.”"After all, I'm the person on the mission. According to the convention of the mission, the probability of encountering the mission target is higher.”
"This is the only way."
……
The modern supermarket in Chang 'an City was still bustling.
As the supply of books continued to increase, the craze for books gradually cooled down. Instead, he became interested in other items.
However, some merchants found a business opportunity.
Some bold businessmen went to the supermarket employees and directly stated that they wanted to buy all the books. They wanted all the goods that had been sold for a few days.
"What are you hoarding so much for?"
The staff was keenly aware of the unusual atmosphere.
"To be honest, I want to bring these books to Jiangnan Road and even Jiannan Road.”The merchant said," My surname is Zhao. I'm a traveling merchant who travels around the world. I just want to make a living and earn some money. I hope you can make an exception."”
Selling and selling.
The employee immediately figured it out. He said,"This is your freedom. We don't care.”
"That's great. I'll take all the books, brushes, ink, and paper here.”
Pay up, take the goods, and leave.
The employees reported the situation immediately.
And it wasn't just one, there were several in succession.
Lin Hao was quite surprised when he received the news, but he immediately revealed a sly smile.
"Good timing. With you traveling merchants, the books will be able to spread out at the fastest speed possible.”
He muttered to himself.
Merchants pursued profits. As long as there were enough profits, they could run to the ends of the earth.
Such books cost twenty coins in Chang 'an. If they were transported to the distant but rich Jiangnan and the remote and backward Jiannan, the profit would definitely be ten times that of the original.
Perhaps it could be sold for a sky-high price.
The desire of ancient scholars for books was beyond common sense.
Since there was sufficient supply, he would let these traveling merchants spread to the world.
"Minister, the Imperial Palace has called. They want you to go to the palace to meet the Emperor.”Secretary Yang said.
"Looking for me? It should be about today's meeting.”
He took off his coat and hat and walked out quickly. He rode his beloved electric scooter and headed towards the palace.
Dew Palace.
When Lin Hao arrived, all the ministers were present, but the content was not about today's matter.
He also saw a face that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, and the others.
"Congratulations, generals, on your triumphant return.”
Lin Hao said with a smile.
"Haha, it's all thanks to Minister Lin and Xia Hua.”"Otherwise, how could we have tens of thousands of people chasing after hundreds of thousands of Turks?" Demoness Cheng laughed.”
"If it wasn't for the snow blocking the road, I would have returned to the capital to thank you.”
"You're welcome."
Lin Hao replied. Seeing these people, he should have guessed that it was a matter of reward.
"Lin Hao called you here this time to reward you according to your achievements. I ordered the relevant departments to make the military medal. Apothecary and the others have also returned.”
Li Er asked in a good mood,""Why don't you discuss with Xia Hua when to hold the celebratory award ceremony?”
"Why don't Your Majesty call Xia Hua first?”
"That's fine. I'll personally communicate with Chief of Staff Fang later.”
The people of the Dew Hall left, but Lin Hao was left behind.
"I know what happened today. I will support you with all my might. I have also warned Xuanling and the others to assist you with all their might.”
Li Er said," You're right. It's better to have a short pain than a long one. It'll only get more and more troublesome if it drags on. Besides, you're right about something."”
"The Great Tang is a great opportunity to soar, and we cannot allow other people to take advantage of this opportunity and make it too big for us to deal with.”
Lin Hao nodded and said,"Actually, there's something I haven't said clearly. After the land is clearly measured, the land in the hands of the local wealthy families will definitely be quite large. For example, the taxes will definitely be quite a lot. If they can't continue, the land will definitely be empty. At that time, the imperial court will use money to take it back."”
"Give it to the people who have no land and prohibit them from buying and selling.”
He explained everything in detail.
Li Er was shocked when he heard that. So there were actually so many plans in there.
"Your Majesty, 70 - 80% of the land in the world is in the hands of the landlord aristocrats, excluding the one or two floors occupied by the Imperial Court.”
"The land left in the hands of the ordinary people is even less. The result of this is that there is no land to cultivate. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.”
"Is this reasonable?"
"This is absolutely unreasonable."
"And…!" He paused for a moment, his eyes sharp as he said,""Servant, why should a citizen of the Great Tang become a slave to his own people?”
"You want to abolish slaves!" Li Er blurted out.
"Abolishing slaves is imperative." Lin Hao said in a deep voice with a solemn expression,"It must be abolished.”
Fear!
When the eunuchs and serving girls in the hall heard these words, regardless of how big or small they were, they all prostrated on the ground in fear.
"Get out!"
Li Er said coldly. The eunuchs and palace maids lowered their heads and withdrew. He looked at Lin Hao and said,"Do you know what the consequences will be if you abolish slaves?”
"How big of a consequence can there be? Don't you want to abolish it, Your Majesty?”
Lin Hao asked indifferently.
"I want to abolish it. How can I not know the dangers of keeping slaves?”"But it's a little inappropriate for you to bring it up now." Li Er rubbed his eyebrows.”
"I didn't say we'll start now.”Lin Hao smiled and said,"I'm just giving Your Majesty a heads-up so that he won't be caught off guard in the future."”
"This one is already extremely surprised.”
Li Er smiled bitterly and shook his head." Forget it. We'll discuss this matter later. I want to ask you, how about teaching the Crown Prince?"”
"Me?"
Lin Hao pointed at himself in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
What a joke.
You want me to teach the heir of the Great Tang Empire?
How could he?
What kind of ability did he have to teach a country's crown prince?
"Ding!"
" Divine level selection triggered!"
" 1. Refuse to teach the Great Tang Crown Prince Li Chengqian. Reward: Cross-Border Communication Technology.”
" 2: Receive guidance from the Tang Empire's Crown Prince, Li Chengqian. Reward: 5 transmigration fragments!”
"Thirty seconds…!"
Uh.
Lin Hao was caught off guard by this chosen one.
It was still the 30-second countdown.
His mind spun rapidly. Should he reject or accept?
Looking at the reward, he was extremely tempted by the cross-border communication technology.
He weighed the pros and cons.
Make a choice.
He leaned forward slightly and said," I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'm really not qualified to teach the Crown Prince. Once I'm disabled, that would be a great sin."”
Li Er's head turned black when he heard that. What did he mean by teaching the disabled?
Of course, he did not expect Lin Hao to refuse.
"You're making things difficult for zhen. Zhen has already discussed it with the Empress and asked Gao Ming. He also wants to take you as his master.”
Li Er was obviously not prepared to give up. He continued,"Go back and think about it. Don't be in such a hurry to reply.”
What was there to consider?
I've made my choice.
It definitely couldn't be changed.
However, Li Er's attitude was firm. He wanted him to be the Crown Prince's teacher.
He quickly started brainstorming. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said,"Your Majesty, I have a plan that will satisfy you, sister-in-law, and the Crown…the Crown Prince.”
"What is it?" Li Er asked curiously.
"Your Majesty knows that the education in Xia Hua is far better than that in the Great Tang. So, why don't you let the Crown Prince study abroad in Xia Hua and receive his education? When he graduates, he can come back to receive the education in the Great Tang!”
The more Lin Hao spoke, the more excited he became. He said,"With this two-pronged approach, the Crown Prince will receive both traditional and advanced education. He will definitely be a wise ruler in the future!"”
It was a yard.
I'm really a genius.
How could he think of such a method?
It would be so exciting to get Li Dazheng to study in Xiahua and undergo a change in his thinking.
It was just that the information on the Internet was too complicated.
What if this handsome boy turned into a two-dimensional prince?
Who cares? He would talk about it after he did it.
This was also the first time that the Great Prince, the Crown Prince of the Great Tang Empire, had visited China.
Li Er was also very interested when he heard this. His eyes lit up, obviously agreeing with this suggestion.
"The Crown Prince is too lonely. Why don't you send more people to study abroad?”Li Er probed.
"Your Majesty, take it slow. I haven't discussed with Xia Hua yet. If there are more people, I might be able to convince her.”Lin Hao said.
"That's good. I'll consider it later.”
……
Lin Hao's mood was a little high along the way. After returning, he gave Fang Ping a call, and the latter made a sound that made him lose his composure.
"Lin Hao, you've really found a difficult problem.”
Fang Ping smiled bitterly.
"Chief of Staff, there's nothing I can do. It's cross-border communication technology. I can only watch and not want it. I can't do anything about it in thirty seconds. Otherwise, I'll just wait to become Li Chengqian's teacher.”
Lin Hao chuckled.
"The higher-ups are considering immigration, and you're doing this.”
Fang Ping said," We can't let go of the cross-border communication technology. Send the technology over first and send it back as soon as possible. Feel free to report to your superiors."”
"Alright!"
Yang Aiguo knew that Lin Hao was talking about studying abroad, and his jaw dropped in shock.
He reported it immediately. His superiors were also extremely shocked. It was obviously beyond their expectations. However, he could hear that his superiors did not reject him immediately. This meant that they agreed.
"Li Chengqian actually wants to study in Xiahua, this matter…”
"It's f * cking bizarre!"
"You, Lin Haojing, are just creating some commotion.”
……
Li Er couldn't refuse such a suggestion.
He let Li Chengqian go out to experience it on his behalf.
Therefore, she agreed and waited for Xia Hua's reply.
However, Xia Hua's side was still in discussion and did not have any immediate news.
At this moment, the reward ceremony of the battle at Weishui River had begun.
Outside the Sky Bearing Gate.
Xia Hua was in charge of setting up the ceremony.
That day.
In front of the Gate of Heaven Influence.
This was the reason why the soldiers who had made contributions in this battle were here.
Standing on the high platform, Li Er praised the soldiers of the Battle of Weishui River and emphasized Xia Hua's help.
His voice was loud and clear, and it spread far and wide.
Li Er and the other natives of the Great Tang were already used to this kind of technology.
There was no need to shout at the top of his lungs like before. Just by saying this, the vast number of soldiers and officials could hear it clearly.
After that, it was Xiahua's representative, Fang Ping, who spoke.
After the speech ended, it was time to start rewarding people.
First, the Great Tang announced Li Er's reward.
"Your Majesty, please award the military medal to the meritorious general!”
Li Er walked up to Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and the others with his head held high. He put on the carefully crafted military medals one by one.
"Next, please, the Tang Emperor, award the Xia Hua soldiers with military medals!”
Zhao Boying and the other generals walked onto the stage in their military uniforms.
"Attention!"
"Turn right!"
The soldiers of the Great Tang were shaken by this sight. They lacked such military discipline.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Zhao!"
Li Er said.
"Your Majesty, you're being too serious. We're friends who built a country.”
Zhao Boying said.
Li Er nodded and put it on.
After the others gave out their rewards, Zhao Boying shouted,"Salute!"
Shua!
They saluted in unison.
Li Er's eyes were filled with admiration. He was becoming more and more eager to train the new army.
"The ceremony is over!"
"Turn left!"
"Let's go!"
The other 200 warriors also received a medal.
"Next, I would like to invite Your Majesty to confer a special military medal to Lin Hao, the minister of the Ministry of National Defense and Political Affairs, who single-handedly killed the Turkic Khan Ji Li and dozens of Turkic noble generals at the Battle of Wei River!”
Lin Hao's clapping expression was instantly stunned.
No, it wasn't.
Did he have a share too?
But thinking about how he had killed so many important Turkic figures, it seemed like he deserved it.
"Hurry up and go!"
Fang Ping said with a smile.
