Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Datang Barracks.

I don't know if General Bai is here this time, what is His Majesty's order?

King Liang asked tentatively.

Since the Battle of Hexi Border Pass, Bai Qi returned to Chang'an and returned to His Majesty.

Since then, King Liang has not seen Bai Qi.

At this moment, when Bai Qi came to the military camp in person, King Liang's first reaction was His Majesty's intention.

Under the whole world, I am afraid that only Your Majesty can let this peerless killing god go to the grassland in person...

A trace of awe rose in King Liang's heart.

Facing Bai Qi, even though he was a prince of the Tang Dynasty with royal blood, he still felt trembling.

This has nothing to do with status ancestry.

It's purely biological instinct.

Just like cattle and sheep on the grassland, seeing ligers and tigers.

Fear from the heart.

Bai Qi looked at King Liang and said, Pass on His Majesty's will!

As soon as Bai Qi's voice fell, King Liang immediately got up and knelt on the ground on one knee, ready to take His Majesty's order.

The imperial decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to the emperor's personal visit. Even if Liang Wanggui was a prince of the Tang Dynasty, he would kneel down to receive the decree.

This is the rule!

Always remind the ministers of the difference!

Your Majesty's decree, let King Liang Li Zhen lead the army to evacuate the Turks and return to Chang'an.

King Liang respectfully received the decree and said, This king, Li Zhen, leads the decree!

After Bai Qi finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.

For Bai Qi, he came here to convey His Majesty's will.

Now that the will has been conveyed, Bai Qi naturally leaves without hesitation!

General White...

King Liang got up and couldn't help but say: If this king withdraws, and if the Turks counterattack, what should I do...

King Liang's worry is not unreasonable.

King Liang led a large army into the grasslands, massacred the Turks, and even three of the ten tribes in the grasslands were defeated by King Liang.

Such behavior is definitely a bloody feud!

At this time, if King Liang withdraws his troops and gives the Turks time to breathe, there will be trouble later...

King Liang has thought too much!

Bai Qi stopped and turned to look at King Liang: After I left the military camp, I went to the Turkic Royal Court in person...

After Bai Qi said this, he turned and left.

Only the shocked King Liang remained.

Go to the Turkic royal court in person?

King Liang took a deep breath.

He now has some sympathy for the Turkic king...

With Bai Qi, the killing god, if the Turkic royal court dared to make any changes...

The bloody scene at Hexi Bianguan will probably reappear.

However, this time, Bai Qi slaughtered not the 300,000 Turkic iron cavalry, but the entire Turkic royal court...

...

...

Turkic royal court.

The Turkic national teacher got up, looked outside the hall, and said slowly, I made a deal with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as the words of the Turkic national teacher fell, the Turkic king frowned slightly.

trade?

What deal?

The Turkic king frowned.

He did not expect that the Turkic national teacher sneaked into the Tang Dynasty this time, and actually saw the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave me two choices.

When the Turkic national teacher said this, he paused for a moment and continued: Live or die!

The Turkic national teacher looked at the Turkic king and explained the colonization plan of the Tang emperor.

When the Turkic king heard this, his face changed.

National teacher, you are confused!

How can you agree to such a condition?

If it is really according to the meaning of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty,

I am a Turk, there will be no chance of turning over again in the future!

My Turkic people will be under the rule of the Tang Dynasty in the future!

The Turkic king stood up and said.

Your Majesty, I said just now that Emperor Tang gave me two choices!

Live or die!

The Turkic national teacher sighed softly.

The Turkic king's expression condensed: With the strength of the national teacher...

In the eyes of the Turkic king, the strength of the national teacher is unfathomable. If he wants to leave, who can stop him?

How could he be threatened by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

The Turkic national teacher heard the words and smiled bitterly: Your Majesty, the Great Tang Empire is unfathomable. If the emperor of the Great Tang wants to destroy the country, he will only be between his palms.

If I refuse, not only will I die.

The entire Turkic country will also die because of me!

Your Majesty, choose for you, how would you choose?

Hearing the words of the national teacher, the Turkic king fell silent.

The Turkic king did not suspect that the national teacher was lying.

Since the national teacher said so, it must be the case.

The Tang Empire really has the strength to easily destroy the Turkic state.

At this time, there were only two paths in front of the Turkic king.

Kneeling live.

die standing.

The Turkic king had no choice!

...

Royal Palace.

Hall of Longevity.

Li Si is thinking about how to make up for the vacancy in the treasury.

The main source of treasury money is Datang taxation.

Datang's taxation is mainly divided into two types.

Agricultural tax and commercial tax.

Among them, the agricultural tax is collected once a year, and Li Si asked the Minister of Household to implement the tax per mu, which is an agricultural tax, and it will not take effect until next year at the earliest.

Therefore, Li Si can only do business tax.

Datang's commercial tax includes a lot of taxes.

However, the generation of commercial tax is mainly used when merchants trade commodities.

In addition, Datang also set a customs tax.

That is, a checkpoint is set up and a commodity circulation tax is collected.

Any businessman who passes through this level needs to pay a certain amount of tax, such as fish salt...

Customs duty is a major component of business tax.

Li Si thought of the practice of free trade pilot zones in later generations.

Simple.

Directly abolish customs duties!

Why abolish customs duty?

After the customs tax is abolished, the price of the goods themselves will be reduced, the purchasing power of the people will be enhanced, the circulation of goods will be more frequent, and the population here will be more concentrated, which will further promote the exchange of goods, which will form a benign cycle.

The economy of the whole region will be thriving.

As a result, the city began to prosper.

Although the customs tax is gone, other taxes have been increased, such as commodity trading, and this action has virtually improved the status of businessmen, more farmers go to business, and the vacated land will of course be returned to into the hands of the court...

The court had more land, which could be redistributed to farmers, which greatly eased the problem of land annexation.

The abolition of customs duties is the core concept of economic and trade pilot zones in later generations. It is precisely by this that the prosperity of business has been greatly promoted, and it has even begun to radiate around, forming a certain economic belt...

Today, in the current situation of Datang, the abolition of customs tax will reduce a lot of tax revenue, but other taxes can make up for it.

Overall, after the abolition of customs tax, Datang's commercial tax will not only not be reduced, but will be greatly increased.

Moreover, the impact of the abolition of customs duty is not only in terms of taxation.

Datang experienced the An-Shi Rebellion, all businesses were waiting to be developed, and it took a long time to recover. The cancellation of customs taxes can reduce the pressure on the people. The people have no pressure and living conditions are better, and the recovery time will be shortened....

Thinking of this, Li Si stood up directly from the throne of the dragon chair.

Come here, summon the minister of households to the palace!
