The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

On the banks of the Wei River, morale is skyrocketing.

All the people were infected by the army's passionate momentum, and their blood boiled with excitement. They shouted loudly, wishing they could go out with the army and go into battle to kill the enemy.

The figure standing on the general stage made countless young people fascinated by it, and countless young women's hearts fluttered with it.

In terms of personality charm, Li Chengdao has indeed achieved the ultimate. He has survived droughts and locust plagues for tens of millions of people, and now his prestige is unmatched.

There were many carriages parked behind the crowd. On one of the carriages, two little girls with beautiful faces were lying on the windows looking at the scene in the school grounds from a distance.

"These armies are so powerful. Our Tang army can definitely defeat Goguryeo!"

One of the older girls said, waving her little fist.

The little girl next to her just stared blankly at the tall figure on the stage, in a daze.

"Sister, sister! What are you looking at?"

The girl shook her sister beside her and asked with some confusion.

The little girl came back to her senses, then clenched her fists and said in a sweet voice: "I have decided!"

The older girl was a little confused by her words and said doubtfully: "What have you decided?"

The little girl pointed to the stage, then looked at her sister and said decisively: "I have decided, he will be my future husband!"

"Only such a great man is worthy of being my husband!"

"I must marry him!"

There was a look of determination in the little girl's big, clear eyes.

Her sister was stunned at first, then glared and said: "No! I will marry him in the future, you can't steal it from me!"

"Hmph! You're not as smart as me and you're not as good-looking as I am. You can't steal it from me!"

"You, you...I'll go back and tell my father!"

"After a little while, you will know how to complain to your father. It's so embarrassing!"

"Uuuuuuuuuu..."

……

The girl's loud cries of collapse were heard in the carriage.

When the housekeeper who was sitting outside heard the crying, he couldn't help but look helpless and shouted: "Miss, we are back home."

After that, he asked the groom to drive away.

The groom waved his whip, and the carriage drove away, and a nameplate representing his identity was hung up.

That is the word "武".

And there are two little girls in this car, one is named Wu Shun and the other is named Wu Meiniang.

……

After the army swore an oath of loyalty, they set off on an expedition to Goguryeo.

The land and water armies were divided into two groups, one of which would leave the Bohai Sea and land on the waterway to Goguryeo.

All the way out of Youzhou, through the territory of the original Eastern Turks, they directly attacked Goguryeo.

The Turks are Goguryeo's neighboring countries, and the two sides have good relations, because the Turks are Goguryeo's natural barrier.

When Yang Guang failed to conquer Goguryeo, part of the reason was due to the Turks.

However, the Eastern Turks have now been destroyed by Li Chengdao, so there is no longer this problem.

If the Eastern Turks had sought help from Goguryeo, Li Chengdao's troops might not have been able to truly destroy the Eastern Turks.

However, Jieli Khan was so overconfident that he had no chance to ask for help in the end, and was directly destroyed by Li Chengdao in Langjuxu Mountain.

It can only be said that the Eastern Turks have exhausted their energy and it is time for them to perish.

After the army set off for the expedition, Li Chengdao also began to deal with domestic affairs. The first thing to deal with was the reform of agriculture and commerce.

Advocating the simultaneous development of agriculture and business, improving the status of businessmen, and creating an agricultural protection mechanism have encountered considerable resistance during the implementation of these strategies.

The idea of ​​favoring agriculture and suppressing business has been deeply ingrained since ancient times. If you suddenly want to change it, you can imagine how much resistance you will encounter.

However, businessmen unconditionally support this policy, because businessmen all dream of improving their status.

You must know that merchants have been despised by all classes since their emergence. Ancient times were agricultural societies. Starting from the Qin Dynasty, all dynasties emphasized agriculture. There was indeed tradition and consideration for the food and clothing of the people and even the stability of the dynasty.

But more important is the ease of governance and taxation!

Peasants in the feudal dynasty were responsible for the triple responsibilities of taxes, taxes, and servitude to the country. The emperor collected the land rent of the country's land through officials, large and small, as taxes, and collected the head tax as taxes to send the people of the tribe to work for infrastructure construction (building rivers, building tombs, and even guarding borders). service.

No matter which one of them, there are prerequisites, that is, the relative stability of the personnel and the well-being of the people.

The personnel are fixed, taxes can be collected easily, and labor can be easily distributed among tribes. Therefore, there are household registration system, Baojia system, etc. to restrict the movement of people.

Especially in the prosperous times, when the population grew rapidly, poll tax became a very important component of national revenue, which placed more emphasis on the relative stability of personnel. However, the characteristic of businessmen is to follow profits, and of course they will not be welcomed.

The labor characteristics of the people, especially those engaged in agricultural production, determine their relative stability and strong disaster tolerance (good character).

On the contrary, the profit-seeking nature and adventurous spirit of businessmen are difficult to exploit for a long time!Therefore, he was suppressed by the ruling group for a long time and his status was low.

Over time, businessmen have been despised by all walks of life. No matter how rich you are, you are still a nouveau riche. If it were not for the value of businessmen, no one would communicate with this group at all.

Therefore, some businessmen would rather their children not inherit their huge family business, and would rather spend countless money to let their offspring become officials.

There are many businessmen who have spent all their wealth in order to let their children and grandchildren become officials.

Therefore, Li Chengdao now announced to promote commerce and improve the status of merchants, which simply made countless merchants ecstatic!

As for the commercial taxes, which were more than doubled than before, they were simply ignored.

What does money count for? Are we short of money? Is there still money left after opening up trade? Can money buy status?

As long as it can be solved with money, it's not a problem!

Therefore, as soon as the policy was implemented, it was enthusiastically supported by countless businessmen, and big businessmen from various places began to use various means and connections to speed up the implementation of the policy, and even made spontaneous donations to the court!

From donations alone, the imperial court received a total of one million taels of silver! ..
