Shu An's eyes flashed because Li Shimin came to the door again as he expected, and he had a lot of reservations last time.

But the last time Li Shimin was uneasy with one word, so he didn't ask the bottom line.

Of course, even if you know Li Shimin at most, you will only make some observations. As for preparation, it is not that easy.

In fact, the easiest way is to mobilize a large amount of food, but unfortunately Li Shimin couldn't do it. In this era, manpower and material resources were much slower than expected.

Li Shimin, who was sitting opposite Shu'an, also had some emotion on his face. Now that he saw his father, he felt more and more mysterious.

There was no way to see any thoughts at all, even Li Shimin had some awe even if he was predicting the secrets of heaven.

Of course, after Li Shimin's thoughts were filled with thoughts, he still did not forget the important matter of visiting the door today.

"The last time I talked to Yafu, Shimin had many doubts, so please Yafu teach me."

Li Shimin slowly said, "At this moment, he was not a noble emperor, but a tireless student."

Shu An nodded. Li Shimin's attitude was not easy. If it weren't for his identity and fame, Li Shimin would probably not have been like this.

Of course, there is another point that Li Shimin was not a destined emperor when he was born. Although he was not a founding emperor, he was better than that.

"Yafu should know that this natural disaster in the pass has a wide impact."

"Although Shimin also wants to provide relief to the refugees, the treasury is unable to continue."

"However, the number of refugees in Chang'an is likely to exceed 100,000. Can't you see refugees starve to death in Chang'an?"

......

Li Shimin's voice slowly rang, and there was a hint of helplessness in his words.

Shu An, who was standing beside him, listened quietly to Li Shimin's words, but he was a little smiled in his heart. It was obvious that the emperor was moved by the original proposal.

With the help of these refugees, building a straight road to the grassland will not only facilitate the Turks, but also strengthen control over the grassland.

You should know that since ancient times, grasslands have always been a hidden danger in the Central Plains, including the Xiongnu Xianbei during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Five Barbarians invaded China, and the Turks now.

Until the rise of nomadic peoples later, in Shu'an's view, the alien races on the grasslands actually reached the weakest period during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Otherwise, there would not be the title of Tian Khan, so in Shu'an's view, if the entire grassland could be controlled during this period.

If you become the ranch of the entire Tang Dynasty, you can say that you will achieve success in your future, but it is very difficult to achieve this.

Shu An was just thinking about it, and Li Shimin had to do the specifics himself. He could only provide one suggestion.

Although Li Shimin said so much, Shu An had already understood the meaning, that is, he was short of money.

Not only Shu An is short of money, but even Li Shimin is also short of money, but what he lacks is not a little bit.

Of course, in Shu'an's view, Li Shimin owned Baoshan and did not know how to develop it. After all, the potential of the entire Tang Dynasty is not the only one.

"I don't know what Shimin thinks about city tax?"

After thinking for a long time, Shu An's eyes flashed and said softly, "You should know that taxes now mainly come from land, and municipal taxes are for vendors."

But Shu An, who traveled through time, will never forget that the country's main tax revenue was from the merchant class before he traveled through time.

Of course, the status of merchants in this era is not high, and there are even some lows, such as the regulations that merchants cannot participate in the imperial examination.

“City Tax?”

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with doubt and said, and after a long time he finally remembered what kind of taxes this type of tax was.

It’s not just the taxes of vendors, but it seems that the city tax does not seem to be much, and it is not enough for a fraction of other taxes every year.

Seeing Li Shimin's expression above his expression, even Shu An couldn't help but smile. I guess Li Shimin didn't know much about this city tax.

It's not surprising, because the city tax, that is, commercial tax, doesn't seem to be much, and it can even be said to be only a little bit.

As for why this is the case, it is because I don’t know how much the store sells and how much profit it makes.

Naturally, the amount of tax paid is determined by individuals, and it is much easier to make fake accounts than imagined.

"Have Shimin seen the account book of the teahouse?"

Shu An said in a hurry, with a hint of slowness in his words.

Li Shimin nodded, his face even more confused, not understanding what the city tax has to do with the teahouse.

"So how much municipal tax should be paid in Shimin, and how much should the whole world pay?"

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, and Li Shimin must have seen the clues from the small to the big one.

At this time, Li Shimin also began to think. If there was nothing wrong, the teahouse should be taxed according to the market.

There are several teahouses in Chang'an. Although the business is not as popular as Yafu's teahouse, there should be many.

There are also restaurants and shops outside the teahouse, so how can the municipal tax be insignificant?

Li Shimin's face couldn't help but turn black. This was considered dark under the light. Even he didn't expect that there would be such a situation in the city tax.

"No businessman can be traitor!"

Finally, Li Shimin couldn't help but say with a hint of anger in his words, but how to make these people pay taxes normally is also a problem.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin still had no idea. The whole world is so big, and there are countless shops, so it is not that easy to verify the meaning.

"Followed by Yang Jian."

"It's better to use Chang'an as a pilot and give these merchants a period of time to make up the listing tax."

"It doesn't matter if it's not reimbursed. Let the people report it. If it is verified, the people can get one tenth of the municipal tax."

Shu'an's voice sounded slowly. It was unrealistic to rely on the court to supervise, and the best way was to let the people supervise.

In order to count the population, Yang Jian asked the people to report it and could be exempted from taxes and service, while Shu An directly gave money.

Once there is a benefit in it, even if the court does not need to mobilize it, these people will set out to help the court supervise it themselves.

You should know that before time travel, there was a professional anti-counterfeiting industry, which was similar to the supervision of municipal taxes.

After the words were finished, Li Shimin nodded and his eyes lit up slightly, as if he thought this method was feasible.

On the other hand, Shu An's eyes flashed. You should know that the city tax was not heavy in the early Tang Dynasty, and it can even be described as very light.

But even so, under Shu'an's investigation, many businessmen still learned to greed for these little benefits.
