My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

  Several people also felt the importance of this matter, Jin Daqian got up and followed out, and asked two guards to close the door.

"The Shengtang Chamber of Commerce has gone to many places now, and will go to more places in the future, but the more places we go, the more dangers we face, so we have to form a guard in the name of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce!" Said loudly.

   Tong Nian nodded in agreement, "The Western Regions are very chaotic recently. It is said that civil strife broke out in the Western Turks, and some Turkic people often attacked caravans. Although our Tang Chamber of Commerce team was not attacked, it is time to plan ahead.

  Qin Huaiyu said: "Does Your Highness want me to recruit some other people for training besides the Fubing?"

"That\'s right, Zhechong Mansion doesn\'t have much to do here. Just worry about caravan guards. As for recruiting, you don\'t have to worry about it. Tong Nian is in charge of this matter. It\'s too sensitive to recruit people in your capacity. gone."

  Shangguanyi frowned: "Your Highness, it\'s wrong to do this. After all, you are now wearing the hat of conspiracy, recruiting troops like this..." Shangguanyi didn\'t dare to continue.

"Being upright is not afraid of the shadow slanting. We are not recruiting troops to rebel, but just caravan guards. Moreover, we have to recruit guards with great fanfare. We also need to advertise in the Tang Dynasty Business Daily for courtiers to see and understand what is going on in the world. What else is there to say!" Li Yin said.

  Wang Yinlong said: "Your Majesty\'s words are justified. Your Majesty is most afraid of things he doesn\'t know. He knows everything so he won\'t make random guesses. If His Majesty disagrees, he will naturally tell His Majesty the King of Shu!"

  Everyone nodded, and Li Min said again: "Father should agree, Tong Nian, tell them how much commercial tax the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce has paid to the court now!"

   Tong Nian said with a smile: "So far, it\'s more than 300,000 yuan!"

"The total tax of the Tang Dynasty is only a few million yuan a year. With the shrewdness of the father, he will not see this. The more money Sheng Tang earns, the better for him. I will write a letter later. A memorial about business expresses the importance of business to a country, and this matter is almost indistinguishable!" Li Yin said thoughtfully.

  Qin Huaiyu excitedly said: "Ten soldiers are also a leader, and a thousand soldiers are also a leader. Of course, the more the better!"

Several things were discussed and decided, and several people began to eat and drink openly, until the willow shoots were on the moon, and several people went back. When they left, Li Yin and Wei shopkeeper said a few words, Wei shopkeeper kept nodding, and then called Hu Ji, let her send Qin Huaiyu back, and later, a very eclectic story will happen between the two.

After getting the assigned task, several people had their heads full and went to work on their own, and Li Yin also began to search for information to write an article stating business, in which he included the concept of colonization in it, and explained what it meant to Colonization, what kind of benefits will colonization bring to Datang, and he showed that he is willing to be the vanguard for Datang, to carry out overseas colonization for Datang, without spending a penny from the treasury, and it can also bring huge benefits to Datang. In order to write this article well, Li Yin spent a week looking up the information, trying his best to seduce. The words also vaguely revealed that he had no intention of the throne and only wanted to make the Tang rich and powerful. Anyway, bragging is not right. It costs money.

   After completing this article, which is called a masterpiece by later generations, Li Yin sent someone to send it to Chang\'an urgently. After all, time is money.

  Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin is carefully looking at Li Yin\'s eloquent 10,000-character essay, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "This old sixth really does not change his true colors, and his mind is full of business matters!"

   Putting down the article, Li Shimin thought about it quietly. He had never heard of many new concepts in this article, but he understood that the benefits of these things to Datang were obvious.

"Overseas colonization, the sun never sets on the empire." Li Shimin read these two words, and his heart suddenly became full of pride. He is an ambitious emperor, and Li Yin\'s words really hit a certain place in his heart. The desk stood up, and said to Wang Zheng who was standing beside him, "Put this article on Shengtang Business Daily, and post the advertisement for recruiting guards together!"

After Li Yin left, Wang Zheng was handed over the affairs of Shengtang Business Daily, and he was responsible for delivering the first draft to Li Shimin every few days. The matter was handed over to Wang Zheng, who handed it over to Li Shimin as a normal newspaper article.

   Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and Wang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief, which showed that Li Shimin agreed with Li Yin\'s idea, and as a member of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, he was naturally happy.

After returning to the newspaper office, Wang Zheng handed over the newspaper to the printing house, and asked the printing house to print it overnight. Early the next morning, various officials in Chang’an received newspapers at their homes. Now these officials have made it a habit to read newspapers. So he asked his servant to fetch the newspaper, and he had breakfast after reading the newspaper.

   Today, when they opened the newspaper, they found that today\'s newspaper was a little different from the past. After a closer look, they found that an article signed by Li Yin below occupied two full pages, and the title of the article was "Commercial Theory".

  After reading this article, all the ministers knew what they were talking about. There might be one more thing to discuss in the court today.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin arrived ten minutes earlier than usual, and his expression seemed a little excited. The courtiers below are all masters who are good at observing words and expressions. They naturally understand that Li Shimin\'s article must be deeply favored by Li Shimin. how to answer.

The time for the morning court is up, and all the ministers are here. Li Ke stood up first: "Father, my son read Liu Lang\'s "Commercial Theory" this morning, and I was deeply impressed by the ideas in the article. If Datang continues to implement it, our annual business tax in Datang will be greatly increased, and it will be able to avoid the situation where the local government collects taxes indiscriminately!"

"I also think that the sixth prince is right. Each commodity is taxed differently according to its profit, and the amount of tax is uniformly determined to reduce the tax on farmers. However, the sixth prince also pointed out that it is not yet possible to reduce farmers\' taxes because Datang now mainly collects farmers’ taxes, so we should encourage commercial development now, and then reduce farmers’ taxes when the commercial tax exceeds the agricultural tax!” Xiao Yu said.

   "..."

  Several ministers came out in succession, all approving of Li Yin\'s article. After all, this matter has no harm to Datang Baili.

   Li Tai stood below and looked at these ministers who spoke, including Li Ke\'s people and neutral ministers. I have to say that he also strongly agrees with Li Yin\'s ideas, but the advertisement behind him made him feel a little suspicious.

"Father! My son also agrees with Liulang\'s idea. Agriculture is the foundation of the country. If business can be developed reasonably without shaking the country, it will be extremely beneficial to the recovery of people\'s livelihood in the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian also stood up and echoed at this time. .

  Li Tai glanced at Li Chengqian. These days, Li Chengqian tried his best to improve the relationship with Li Ke, and treated him kindly, but the more Li Chengqian was like this, the more uneasy Li Tai felt.

Li Shimin nodded. Everyone can see Li Chengqian\'s changes. He respects his elders, loves his brothers, and keeps studying hard. more and more satisfied.

Almost everyone in the early court praised Li Yin\'s article and was about to order to study commercial tax according to the method in Li Yin\'s article. It’s just that the royal father saw the advertisement in the back!”

   "Of course I saw it, Li Yin recruited caravan guards to protect the safety of the caravan, is there a problem?" Li Shimin said.

  Li Tai continued: "Father, whether Li Yin is involved in treason has not yet been found out, but now he is openly recruiting troops, I am afraid it will make the world criticize."

"Shiro\'s words are wrong. Caravan guards cannot be compared with recruiting horses. There is no merchant in Chang\'an City without personal guards. Now the Tang Chamber of Commerce\'s business reaches Persia in the west and Lingnan Road in the south. In the future, according to Liu Lang Traveling across the ocean to a country thousands of miles away, without guards, how to ensure the safety of the caravan, how can the caravan do business without security, please learn from my father!" Li Ke said.

"Ke\'er is right. Min\'er has already been wronged and relegated to Yizhou. Now he is only thinking about the Tang Dynasty. If the court still makes things difficult for him, then how chilling he will be, no need to say any more. If he really dares to rebel, I will send troops to exterminate him personally, that\'s all right!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice, he was already guilty of Li Yin, and this matter is also regarded as a crime. A kind of compensation for him.

   "Your Majesty..." Li Shimin had already said so much, what else could the ministers say.

After hearing this, Li Tai also retreated, and didn\'t mention it anymore. He knew that enough was enough, and Li Yin\'s article also showed that he was not interested in the imperial court, and only wanted to carry out the so-called great cause of colonization. .
