"Did Yafu improve the salt making process?"

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and said, although he was confused, he was sure of it.

Even Shu An has to sigh that it is easy to talk to smart people.

He obviously didn't say anything, but Li Shimin quickly seemed to understand the key to the problem.

"good."

Shu An said with a slight voice that he did not hide anything about this matter.

He would be involved in the salt matter, but as before, he didn't want to dominate it.

The reason is very simple. Needless to say, the benefits here can be seen just by the salt tax that runs throughout the entire history.

After hearing Shu An's affirmative answer, Li Shimin's eyes shrank and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Even though I guessed it in my heart, I didn’t get confirmation after all, and now I didn’t expect it to be true.

"Although this method of salt making is a bit rough, it is much better than the current method."

"The most important thing is that it doesn't cost too much manpower and material resources."

Shu An continued to speak without hesitation, and also introduced his own method.

As Shu An told her, Li Shimin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and even a look of joy appeared on his face.

"I don't know what Yafu is going to plan?"

Fortunately, Li Shimin did not forget that the final decision was still in the hands of Yafu.

Although Ya's father summoned him here and would definitely divide a lot of benefits to him, maybe Ya's father would contact other families.

It can be said that how to prevent Li Shimin from being nervous, the profits of this emperor can be calculated clearly than anyone else.

“Shimins should have a salt tax.”

Facing this anxious emperor, Shu An said softly without hesitation, and there seemed to be some unrelated cows and horses in his words.

“Salt Tax?!”

Li Shimin's eyes showed a ray of light and murmured softly, he naturally wouldn't miss the meaning of these two words.

You should know that the salt tax originated in the period when Guan Zhong was in power in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has many years of history since now.

"Don't Shimin think that the current rent-in-one modulation method has many disadvantages? What if it is the population in the future?"

Shu'an's words continued to sound quietly. You should know that the salt tax has always been not about selling salt to collect taxes.

Instead, it charges taxes from the whole world. The reason is very simple, that is, it is not that simple to count the population in this era.

Even though Yang Jian started to force statistics when he was, it was easy to say, but not so easy to do.

After all, it is impossible to calculate whether you just hide in the deep mountains and forests or migrant populations.

As a bulk commodity, salt is also an indispensable thing for everyone in daily life. As long as the price of salt is controlled, it is equivalent to collecting taxes from all over the world.

As for the current rental and mediocre system and the implementation of the equal-field system, once the equal-field system is destroyed, the rent and mediocre law will fail.

Especially after Wuzhou, due to the increase in population, land annexation continued.

There is no farming system to implement the equal land system. Every man has insufficient land and has to pay a fixed amount of rent and mediocre remuneration.

Then the final result is self-evident.

Although some people believe that the salt and iron monopoly system is the biggest evil policy in ancient times.

But even Shu An had to sigh, if there is no salt tax, then there will be no China today.

Shu'an vaguely remembers that he had read the records about salt tax, in which the fiscal revenue occupied by each dynasty was not less than two-fifths.

There are even seven out of ten, and there are no need to say much about the importance of salt tax.

Shu An did not persuade anything, but instead used ordinary words to express the possible development and evolution of the rent-in-one system.

"As time goes by, the population of the Tang Dynasty will naturally increase, while on the contrary, the cultivated land will decrease and smaller."

............

As Shu An told her, Li Shimin's expression also began to become serious.

Because this matter is indeed very likely to happen, even Li Shimin thought about it seriously.

Although the population is not that large now, Li Shimin is obviously a person with long eyes.

"Father Ya, this matter is probably not that easy."

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

Now the Tang Dynasty was decided in the early days, and many things were used in the previous Sui Dynasty, including the salt method.

And who is selling these salts? Needless to say, they must be those aristocratic families.

If you want to change the salt method and return it to the country, you will inevitably have to touch these aristocratic families.

In addition, it is a matter of the system. Every system change will take a long time to discuss.

This matter is not something that he, an emperor, can make the decision, and it must be verified by the court.

"These are indeed far away, and Shimin can only know what they know in his heart."

"As for this improved salt-making method, it can be used to the people."

"If you divide your interests, then 10% of your profits will be enough in your lifetime."

.........

Shu'an's voice continued to sound, and he did not speak loudly without the lion's mouth. The profits in it were something he did not want to touch easily.

But Li Shimin is different. As long as there are enough benefits, it will be enough to make this emperor take risks.

Even when facing these aristocratic families, especially the young Li Shimin now.

He also has the courage to bet on everything, and Shu'an still appreciates it very much.

Although Li Shimin was a little helpless even though he knew that this father Ya didn't want to be involved.

Because if An Xuangong, who is known as a sage, can help him, then the aristocratic family is nothing.

Unfortunately, this Asian father did not intend to do so, and for this reason, he was able to gain more benefits.

"This matter is as said by Father Asia!"

Li Shimin didn't hesitate for long, and naturally he had to eat the benefits that came to his door.

It can be said that he lacks nothing now, but he just lacks money. As long as he has enough money, what can the aristocratic family be afraid of?

This is a cycle. Although this matter will definitely make the aristocratic family stand on the opposite side, they can also gain benefits and strengthen themselves.

On the other hand, Shu An also smiled on his face when he heard Li Shimin's promise, because this incident was also as expected by him.

After discussing some of the main details, Li Shimin hurriedly left. Obviously, as an emperor, he still has plans for time.

Shu An never talked about the salt method again, but Shu An looked at the leaving figure of the emperor and his eyes flashed with a ray of light.

"There are some things that are like a thorn that pierces the heart, and one day they will still be pulled out."

Shu An whispered softly in the yard, but no one could hear it except himself.
