"Write the sentence that young master just said…"
Li Chengqian understood. He reached out to pick up the ink pen and wrote on the blank paper,"Where do we not meet in life"…
A line of words was copied from Wang Xizhi's running script. The ink on the paper was pleasing to the eye!
When Xu Hui saw this, she could not help but praise him!
"Young Master's calligraphy is really good!"
When the ink on the paper dried up a little, Xu Hui took the paper and left quickly, feeling a little shy.
Wei Zheng, who was sitting at the side, looked at Li Chengqian expressionlessly, as if he was doubting life.
Why was the gap between people so big?
Especially when he saw the copybook that Xu Hui had taken away, Wei Zheng really wanted to say that he wanted it too…
However, Wei Zheng still chose to save face in the end.
He couldn't possibly compete with a little girl. That would be even more humiliating.
Li Chengqian met Wei Zheng's resentful eyes and said hesitantly.
"Lord Wei, what do you think of a thousand strings of strings for a calligraphy scroll?”
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Hearing the amount of 1,000 strings, Wei Zheng immediately gave up on the idea of continuing to ask for the copybook.
Fortunately, he already had two of Li Chengqian's poems in his arms, so Wei Zheng was quite satisfied.
After drinking a pot of tea, the poetry recital in the teahouse ended.
Li Chengqian and the others got up and left. It was getting late, so they did not continue strolling.
Wei Zheng also wanted to send Li Chengqian and Wu Meiniang back to the palace before the imperial ban!
Looking at Li Chengqian's departing figure, Xu Hui was still a little reluctant, but there was no excuse to keep him.
When she thought of the phrase,'where do we not meet in life', she really hoped that there would be a chance to meet again…
The next morning, Wei Zheng did not leave the palace after court session. Instead, he went straight to the Eastern Palace.
Yesterday, Wei Zheng was willing to take the risk to bring Li Chengqian and Wu Meiniang out of the palace to play because Li Chengqian had given him a promise.
Facing such an opportunity, Wei Zheng naturally had to seize it!
"Your humble subject greets Your Highness!"
When Wei Zheng arrived at the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian had just woken up and washed up.
This made Wei Zheng feel surprised. It seemed that Li Chengqian had been waking up later and later recently…
When Wei Zheng saw Wu Meiniang who was serving Li Chengqian at the side, his face revealed a thoughtful expression.
It was as if all his doubts had been solved!
When Li Chengqian was eating breakfast, Wei Zheng asked impatiently.
"Your Highness, how can we increase the strength of the Great Tang?”
This was a question that most people did not dare to think about. After all, it was too broad.
However, the recent frost and snow disaster made the officials see that the assets of the Ministry of Revenue were too weak.
The imperial court was unable to provide food for disaster relief in a short period of time, and they did not even have much money to provide disaster relief.
After this problem was exposed, the topic of discussion in the court for the past few days was inclined towards this.
The officials gathered their thoughts, but they could not come up with a reason.
Therefore, Wei Zheng thought of Li Chengqian!
He didn't know when it started, but whenever Wei Zheng encountered a difficult problem, he couldn't help but think of asking Li Chengqian for help.
It was as if in Wei Zheng's heart, he was certain that Li Chengqian would have a way to help him resolve the doubts in his heart. No matter what kind of question it was, he could find the answer from Li Chengqian!
This question should have been asked to Li Chengqian yesterday, but in order to leave the palace, Li Chengqian promised Wei Zheng that as long as he brought him out of the palace, he would answer it!
This was also the first transaction between the two of them!
Hearing this, Li Chengqian calmly pondered for two seconds and said.
"National strength is also reflected in many aspects, including the country's finances, military strength, people's livelihood, and so on.”
"If we want to fill the imperial court's treasury, we can only let the imperial court earn more silver.”
"Since the imperial court cannot compete with the people for profits, they can open up trade and collect business taxes!”
Wei Zheng was a little worried when he heard about the tax.
" Your Highness, the various prefectures in the imperial court have imposed customs duties. If we add tax items, it will easily cause public resentment..."
Li Chengqian waved his hand indifferently.
"Lord Wei, don't worry. I'm talking about the business tax, and it will only be levied when it reaches a certain standard. As for the ordinary people, this tax won't affect them.”
" If the imperial court is worried, we can use Chang 'an Fortress as a trial. If it succeeds, we can promote it to the whole country.”
In fact, in ancient times, only a few states and cities had real commercial activities. As for the villages and counties, it was difficult to form a commercial system.
As the capital of the Tang Empire, Chang 'an was the most prosperous city with a population of one million.
Just the business tax of Chang 'an Fortress alone could not be collected, even if it did not involve other prefectures.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Wei Zheng was slightly relieved. As long as he did not fight for benefits with the people and did not touch the interests of the commoners, Wei Zheng had nothing to worry about.
"Please speak, Your Highness!"
Wei Zheng looked at Li Chengqian and put on an attitude of being taught humbly.
