Chapter 127: Method, Difficulty

"In addition to that, we can also work on the curfew issue."

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, which once again made Li Shimin fall into doubt, as if he did not understand the relationship between the curfew and the emptiness of the treasury.

"You can open a curfew, but you can add some commercial taxes to the curfew."

As if seeing the doubts of this emperor, Shu An explained that he had already thought about the facts.

"Will this work?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but speak, obviously having some hesitation about this father's method.

"Try it and you will know, businessmen seek profits, if they don't open a store, they don't have to pay more taxes, it's all voluntary, and they can also use Chang'an as a pilot."

Shu An's eyes flashed with a gleam and said, you must know that some people generally farm during the day and rarely have time for entertainment.

If Chang'an can open the curfew, then at least these people will be more interested, promote consumption, and naturally make more money.

You must know that the people of Chang'an have a lot of surplus money in their hands, and they are much richer than others.

In addition to the common people, there are naturally scholars or nobles, etc., these talents are the main force of consumption.

All in all, Shu An naturally knows the doorway inside, and the business is definitely much more tax than the current landlord.

"Hmm."

Li Shimin replied, it is not impossible to lift the curfew, as long as it is beneficial to Datang, he will try.

What's more, it's just an attempt in Chang'an now, if it doesn't work, then the previous curfew will inevitably be restored.

"In fact, the caravan is also very profitable, and if the imperial court collects customs duties, it is not unavoidable."

Shu An's eyes flashed and he said, because of the open relationship between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, many Hu businessmen will come to Chang'an.

In the past, because of the war, although Shu An noticed it, he was also powerless, not to mention that he didn't have much deterrent power at that time.

Why Hu Shang was able to do business in Chang'an, so there were no Tang people to go to these customs, it can be said that the thinking of the Tang Dynasty has been restricted for a long time.

When Shu An was short of money before, he naturally thought of forming a caravan by himself, but he would not directly use Tang people, but some people of mixed Hu and Han blood.

In this way, the alien races outside the gate are easier to accept and control, but Shu An did not disclose them.

Because if Li Shimin participates in the caravan, then I am afraid that he will be impeached again, and as for Shu An, Li Shimin will not fight for anything with himself.

"Tariffs, I'll talk about that later."

Li Shimin said with a hint of helplessness on his face, after all, Datang does not have much deterrent power to the surroundings now.

In addition, there is not only one road from Guanwai to Chang'an, even if he wants to do it, he is powerless, but what this father said he is concerned about.

It doesn't work if you don't pay attention, after all, Shu An has proven himself before, maybe this tariff is seen from the prediction of heaven.

Shu An didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking, and if he knew, he would smile inwardly, but he nodded to Li Shimin.

There is no need to worry about this matter, after all, there are not many Hu merchants now, and if there are more, then they will not be able to help.

"In addition, there is gold as a ransom."

"Most of the Tang laws follow the old system, and there are unreasonable places in it."

"It is completely possible to change these unreasonable places to redeem the sentence with gold, and the treasury should be able to generate a lot more revenue."

.......

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, this time his eyes were on Tang Lu, and in fact, these methods were all gentle methods.

For example, the city tax, which has already been regulated, is destined to be supported by no one, and even if there is, no one will be dissatisfied with the surface.

If the top businessman in this world is, then it must belong to these families, so it can be said that Li Shimin started this way.

Then it is inevitable to confront the family again, which must be clear to Li Shimin, but this time it is the family who is at a loss.

Naturally, this emperor has nothing to fear, even if he offends these families, it doesn't matter, the two are currently in opposing positions.

And Li Shimin's face showed a hint of approval, because he had already been dissatisfied with some places in Tang Lu.

Since the last time the matter of the eldest grandson Anye's rebellion was settled, he had already had the idea of revising it in his heart, but he was delayed by various things.

The meaning of his own father is also obvious, that is, some trivial culpability can be replaced by money, which Li Shimin agrees with.

Although it can't bring much money to Datang in a short period of time, it should have some in the long run.

Li Shimin, who was eager to divide the money into two parts, naturally would not refuse, and many people would be satisfied with this move.

Whether it is the children of the family or the landlord's family, the lack of these people is not money, but it does not mean that they will not violate the Tang law, and it is not bad if they can use the money to offset it.

Shu An's voice on the side did not say anything more after the words fell, and at present, these methods can be regarded as ways to increase the emptiness of the treasury.

As for wanting to earn a large amount of money in a short period of time, unless Li Shimin dares to touch the interests of the family, after all, raiding the family and exterminating the clan is the fastest way to source wealth.

The accumulation of hundreds of years or even thousands of years of accumulation of these families is terrifying, and there are no thousand-year-old dynasties but thousand-year-old families, this sentence is not a joke.

If you raid a few families casually, I am afraid that even the Turkic military expenses will be available, but Li Shimin is destined to be impossible.

If you really do this, then it will undoubtedly force these families to rebel, don't underestimate the power of these families, if they are gathered, even Li Shimin will be a little jealous.

Moreover, many people in the court were born in the scholar family, so it was destined that this road was not possible at all.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Shimin finally had a clue about what he should do, although what his father said seemed to have nothing to do with refugees at present.

But in fact, there is a lot of relationship, after all, if the treasury increases, then Li Shimin naturally has the courage to provide relief to these refugees.

However, it is not known how effective it will be, and he will not act immediately based on the words of his father, and when he returns to the palace, he will let the hundred horsemen investigate first.

It wouldn't take much effort, but he wanted to see how many of the merchants were underpaying their taxes, and what about the estates of some of the families.

But before that, Li Shimin has a slightly difficult question to ask.
