"What the eldest grandson said is extremely true, if the imperial court loses the tax revenue of the same state, the household department will lose a large part of the income into the account......"

The new household servant is named Hou Qingchun, speaking of which Hou Qingchun is still Hou Junji's brother, if it weren't for the purpose of appeasing Hou Junji's emotions, Li Shimin would not have arranged such a guy to be an official in the imperial court.

Of course, although the household servant is not a big official, he is also an official under the four products, in charge of the world's land, people, the government of the money valley, the difference in taxes, such an important place, if Hou Qingchun does not have the slightest ability, he will naturally not be able to climb to such a high position.

"I think the two adults are wrong!"

Before Hou Qingchun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Du Ruhui: "Although this land of Tongzhou is full of flowers and rich people's livelihood, it also belongs to my Tang Dynasty. As the so-called world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Tongzhou is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the king of Changping County is also a prince, so why not use the prince to take charge of my Tang land? ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know how much tax revenue has been created for my Tang Dynasty so far by the fiefdom of Dengzhou, to which King Wu belongs?" Fang Xuanling, who has always worn a pair of pants with Du Ruhui, still chooses to stand on the same side as Du Ruhui this time.

Li Shimin frowned, not understanding why Fang Xuanling asked this question, but he still turned his head to look at Hou Qingchun and said, "Hou Qing......"

Hou Qingchun understood what Li Shimin meant, thought for a while, and said: "Now the tax revenue from Dengzhou should be thirty times the number of years in Dengzhou in the past......"

"That's it!"

Fang Xuanling slapped his palms and said with a smile: "This land of Dengzhou was originally the fief of His Royal Highness King Wu, even if His Royal Highness King Wu does not pay taxes, our court can't say anything." But His Royal Highness King Wu did not do this, but paid far more taxes than before. Lord Changsun and Lord Hou, do you think that this land of Tongzhou will be given the title to the king of Changping County. Will the county king pay taxes? ”

"Who knows?" Hou Qingchun pursed his lips and said: "Compared with the same state, Dengzhou's prosperity is not as good as the state's tenth-twelfth, and there are a few taxes, and His Royal Highness King Wu naturally can't look down on it." But what about this same state, if it ......"

"Enough!" At this time. Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, slapped the dragon case in front of him suddenly, and said angrily: "You are all my ministers of the Tang Dynasty, but you are so noisy in this court, what kind of system is it?" ”

"The ministers have lost their manners, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!"

The eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Qingchun, Fang and Du saw Li Shimin slapping the table angrily, so they naturally didn't dare to continue arguing, but bowed to Li Shimin and returned to the small table where the meal was still placed.

Of course, although they all sat in the row of Wenchen diners. But because of this incident, the eldest grandson Wuji and Hou Qingchun both had some resentment towards Fang Du and both of them, and snorted coldly at the two of them.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Hou Qingchun's careful thoughts, Li Shimin naturally understood. For the eldest grandson Wuji, although the affairs of their eldest grandson family can be concealed from the eldest grandson queen, but looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, what can be hidden from Li Shimin?

Nearly one-fifth of the industries in the same state belong to the eldest grandson family, can the eldest grandson Wuji not fight for his own interests?

Therefore. Li Shimin was also a little annoyed with the eldest grandson Wuji, and he glared at the eldest grandson Wuji. Road:

"Since the awakening of King Wu, he has made a deep contribution to my Tang Dynasty, raising firearms, changing cooking methods, and successively conquering Xue Yantuo, Tubo, and Tiele...... After that, the shipping industry was greatly developed, and Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and the Wa kingdom were destroyed. Such a credit is a heavenly achievement for my Datang! ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin paused and continued: "According to my meaning, even if it is to give half of the country to Yuanba, it is not too much!" It's just a fief given to the eldest son of King Wu, so what's the matter? ”

Anyway, the words have already been spoken. Li Shimin simply said one thing that was going to be mentioned later: "I also tell you that I not only want to give this land of Tongzhou to Chengping as a fief, but also upgrade the title of King Wu to hereditary replacement!" ”

Hereditary replacement!

Yes, the eldest grandson Wuji tossed back and forth, originally just wanted to change Li Chengping to a fief of the second order, but now he forced the emperor to directly give Li Yuanba's prince title to hereditary.

This incident almost made the eldest grandson Wuji want to vomit blood in a depressed mood!

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, this prince's title has been inherited by the eldest son, and it is a hereditary succession, and this hereditary replacement is not in line with the ancestral system!"

This time, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't plan to say anything, but Wei Zheng, who was still working against the eldest grandson Wuji, jumped out at this time and began to admonish Li Shimin.

"What's wrong with the ancestral system?"

Li Yuanjia quit, although he was not too familiar with Li Yuanba, but the things he heard about Li Yuanba from Li Chengqian made him admire this fourth emperor brother who had only met a few times, but it was just a hereditary replacement of a title, what was this?

"Brother Fang Cai also said, the four emperor brothers have a great contribution to my Tang Dynasty, this kind of credit to the descendants of the blessing of the shadow, even if it is a hundred years later, my Tang people are afraid that they will have to inherit the love of the four emperor brothers. It's just a hereditary title, and what is it in terms of the contribution of the four emperor brothers to my Tang Dynasty? ”

"What Eleven Lang said is very agreeable!" Perhaps because he didn't want to continue to entangle himself in this matter, Li Shimin said directly: "This matter is so decided, Fang Qing, you will personally draft the decree and immediately send it to the country and the state!" ”

"Brother Huang, can this matter be handed over to the courtiers?" Li Yuanjia took the initiative to ask.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanjia with a smile and said, "Yuanjia, you kid hasn't been out of Chang'an City for so long, according to me, you kid wants to go to the outside realm to have a good time, right?" ”

Li Yuanjia touched the back of his head, smiled, and said, "Brother Huang still understands me!" ”

"That's it!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You can go if you want, but you have to go to see your father first, and then bring some of my rewards, which just saves me from sending someone else!" ”

"Brother Xie Huang!" Li Yuanjia was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

After solving these three things, Li Shimin laughed:

"Hahaha, I will hold a banquet in this Lin De Hall today, don't go anywhere as a minister, just drink here to your heart's content......"

……

When Li Yuanjia came to the kingdom and state with a large number of rewards and the consecrated priesthood, it was already seven days later.

Originally, the journey from Chang'an City to the Wa Kingdom, if it was just by water, it would only take two days to arrive, but where did this kid go out of such a long way. It's rare to escape from Chang'an City, this kid only cares about playing in the mountains and rivers along the way, and he is so uncomfortable every day.

If it hadn't been for the long history of his mansion to remind him, I'm afraid this kid would have forgotten about the business.

Hezhou, the former palace of the Japanese king, is now the palace of the Japanese governor.

Li Yuanba was in the room where Wushun was raising a baby in the back, teasing his son.

At this time, Li Sanduo, who was guarding him, hurriedly ran in from outside the house and reported to Li Yuanbayu: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty's reward group has arrived!" ”

"Bounty group? What is the bounty group? Putting Xiao Chuyi in his hand into Wu Shun's hands, Li Yuanba said a little strangely.

Li Sanduo shook his head and said: "The last general doesn't know very well, but the last general of this reward group looks familiar, and the last general asks why the official history came, and the official envoy didn't say it clearly, just said that he would let the prince go out and have a look." ”

Because Li Sanduo and the soldiers of the Shenwu Guard, when they were in Chang'an City, they usually saw the emperor's sons, and for the children of the Taishang Emperor, they also saw Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang.

So this time, Li Yuanjia, the eleventh prince of the Emperor Taishang, led a team to the Wa Kingdom, and Li Sanduo just looked at him familiarly, but he didn't know him.

"Oh? It's kind of mysterious. Li Yuanba stood up and stretched, and said, "But since it is a reward, it must be the royal brother's reward for the first junior high, right?" Let's go out with the king. ”

Outside the palace, Li Yuanjia was dressed in a black suit, and was curiously looking at the buildings of the Wa Kingdom that were similar to those of the Tang Dynasty.

By his side, followed by Sun Zhonglian, the deputy envoy of the reward group, and Li Kan, the chief historian of the Xu Palace.

"It is said that the Wa Kingdom has been stealing all kinds of techniques from my Datang, but I didn't expect that even this building could not escape their poisonous hands!"

Li Yuanjia pretended to touch the outer wall of the palace, shook his head like a little adult, and continued: "Hey, this shameful behavior can only be done by the Japanese slaves, if it is put on our Tang people, I am afraid it will never be possible." ”

"What the prince said is that our Tang Dynasty Wanbang is coming to the dynasty, and the only Wa Kingdom still dares to covet my Datang, and I deserve to be destroyed like this!" When Li Yuanjia's voice landed, Sun Zhonglian smiled and echoed.

Don't look at Sun Zhonglian's current appearance, in fact, he is not only a member of the household department, but also a secret spy of Tianjiwei. This time, Sun Zhonglian came with a mission, in addition to rewarding those things on the holy decree, he also had to bring the emperor's secret decree to King Wu.

"Hahaha, no wonder I came together this morning, and I saw the magpie falling on the branches, it turned out to be the eleventh brother coming!"

At this moment, Li Yuanba walked out of the palace with Li Sanduo and others, and saw a little adult from a distance, walking back and forth in front of the palace with a figure-eight step.

"Brother Four Emperors!"

Li Yuanjia heard this somewhat familiar voice, looked for the source of the sound, but saw Li Yuanba in a loose brocade robe, and walked over with a smile.

Li Yuanba rushed over and gave Li Yuanjia a bear hug, he patted the kid's back fiercely, and said, "Why do you have time to come to the country?" I remember that my father wanted to hold you kid in the palace all day long and not let you out of the palace? ”

was knocked on the back a few times by his unscrupulous brother, Li Yuanjia's small body couldn't stand it.

"Ahem......"

Coughing twice with a pale face, Li Yuanjia struggled out of Li Yuanba's embrace, grinned, and laughed. (To be continued.) )
