This one.

Li Er summoned.

All the princes and ministers came, it was like a small court gathering.

The meeting has not started yet.

Li Er then wanted to call these people into the palace to discuss some matters, such as how to bring down the people with five surnames and Qi Wang, and how to collect the world's wealth.

Otherwise, there is no hope of everlasting life.

Jiang Que secretly conveyed this to him.

Li Er was not stupid, and he immediately understood the meaning behind this.

Now, he has understood that if he wants to live forever, he must follow the rules set by Jiang Chi.

Although he was a little depressed and felt that his rights as the emperor had been greatly weakened, he still felt happy at the thought of immortality.

Maybe there will be a chance to become the ruler of the Heavenly Palace in the future.

He is the emperor of the human world, wouldn't he become the Lord of the Heavenly Palace after abdicating the throne?

This is not wrong to think about.

Compared with immortality, and compared with the throne of the future Lord of the Heavenly Palace, the Emperor, wealth and honor in the world are nothing.

According to Jiang Chi, the Heavenly Emperor is the ruler of the three realms and the supreme being.

To say that Li Er has no interest at all is absolutely false.

Li Er, who had other thoughts, had to calm down and said to Wang De next to him: "Have all the people I asked you to invite arrived?"

Wang De immediately nodded and said: "In reply to Your Majesty, all the princes and other gentlemen are already waiting outside. Do you want me to bring them in?"

Without Li Er's instructions, he actually didn't dare to bring anyone in.

This is the rule.

Li Er's eyes were slightly thoughtful and he said: "Since they are all here, let's bring them all in."

Maybe it's time for him to do something else.

Reform is imperative and must continue. “Otherwise, we don’t know how long it will take until the Tang Dynasty reaches its peak.

As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I should contribute the greatest strength to this country, and I should also set a benchmark for the country."

In fact, the most fundamental thing is lack of money.

Now that he has no money to do things, he has no money to do more things, such as building Taoist palaces and so on.

He should have done this kind of thing.

But in the end, he had to let a few of his closest ministers do it, and Li Er felt helpless every time he thought about this.

There is no way.

What can he do?

"That's all."

Li Er sighed quietly, "Now, I'd better work hard to promote reform first. Those people with five surnames and seven hopes cannot make them live in peace. After all, the Tang Dynasty is my Datang."

He also wished Datang well.

"yes."

Wang De immediately responded and said respectfully: "I will invite the ministers outside to come in."

Li Erruo nodded vaguely.

After a while.

The ministers and princes have arrived.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Civil servants headed by Changsun Wuji, generals led by Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and Li Jing also appeared immediately.

He greeted Li Er respectfully.

After Jiang Chi's incident, they no longer had much interest in these matters in the court.

If you can become the master of ghosts and gods, who cares about this mere wealth in the world.

After all, it can live forever.

Wealth in the world is nothing more than water and the moon in the mirror, nothing more than rootless duckweeds. Once something unexpected happens, nothing will be left.

Even though they all know that people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang are very powerful, they are actually not as powerful as Jiang Qian.

As long as we hug this thigh tightly, that's the most important thing, so that they can exist forever.

Otherwise, life and death are just a matter of time.

However, after thinking of Jiang Chi's previous instructions, these ministers all said, "I wonder what your Majesty is asking for."

Whenever they have an idea, they will definitely not refuse it.

Li Er said calmly: "I asked you to wait here this time, but I am still undecided about one thing. I hope you can help me discuss it in detail.

Although the theory of ghosts and gods is no longer a legend, the Imperial Master had previously given instructions that the mortal world is the foundation, and you must also know this.

Therefore, the country of the Tang Dynasty, which is thousands of miles away, must not suffer any loss, and I hope that all of you will prepare together with me, so that the world can be peaceful and peaceful."

Everyone: "..."

After hearing His Majesty Li Er's words, they were all stunned. Changsun Wuji asked on behalf of everyone: "Your Majesty, I don't know what I need you to do, but if there is a need, I will definitely do my best. I won't do it."

I will live up to His Majesty’s kindness in knowing me.”

Just take a picture to guarantee it.

The Tang Dynasty still needed to rely on people like them to govern, and they also needed their joint assistance to Li Er.

Otherwise, relying on those people with five surnames and seven hopes, the world will definitely be in chaos.

Because of the miraculous existence of Jiang Chi, a ghost and god, and because of the existence of the way to immortality, Li Er is not afraid of resistance from people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang. With Jiang Chi here, he can ignore everything.

The worst case scenario is overthrowing it and starting over.

As long as he can live forever, Li Er will have enough time and strength to suppress others.

There won’t be enough people with the fifth surname and Qiwang to watch by then.

Thinking about it this way, he felt much more relaxed.

So, His Majesty Li Er said: "Everyone, I plan to collect commercial taxes and refine sea salt to sell it. This industry will be owned by the country. I will also discuss with you to re-establish the Salt Tax Department and establish the Commercial Tax Department Yamen to take charge of this matter."

.”

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, although this reform method is good and the commercial tax policy can be regarded as a good policy for governing the country, there is one thing that is different. Your Majesty needs to understand it carefully."

"What?" Li Er asked curiously.

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling continued: "Your Majesty, no one has dared to collect commercial taxes since ancient times. The interests of merchants are so great. Do you think that no one in the previous dynasties has really thought about collecting commercial taxes?

In fact, it’s not that I didn’t expect it, but I didn’t dare to accept it.

The profits that businessmen always make are huge, and the profits are so huge that few people can compare with them."

"You're trying to say that collecting business taxes will be a big obstacle."

Li Erdao: "I have naturally thought of what you are thinking about. Behind every chamber of commerce there are officials at all levels, as well as major families behind it. They are huge and intricately connected.

Logically speaking, I should not collect commercial taxes at this time. After all, it will affect everyone's interests. However, the Imperial Master has already given me a suggestion to try it out in Chang'an City for three months.

Moreover, all major shops in Chang'an City are not allowed to increase prices, otherwise they will be directly prosecuted.

In addition, the shops in your hands should not be sloppy with me, otherwise I can forgive him here, but the Imperial Master will not forgive him.

Business tax must be collected.

I plan to let you commanders jointly manage the salt matter. Anyone who dares to cause trouble or stop it will be killed without mercy.

People with the five surnames and Qi Wang will definitely come out to cause trouble, and the military commanders must be prepared to suppress them at any time, and the national counselors will also support everyone."

Everyone: "..."

Li Er's words made the faces of the princes present darken. Du Rumei said: "Your Majesty, I have something to make clear. Although the business tax matter will affect the shops of our ministers present, it is in the interests of the country.

We will definitely support the people's affairs.

However, Your Majesty should also know that your ministers are loyal to Your Majesty and to the country, and others may not think so.

People with five surnames and seven hopes control the scholars in the world. The families and forces behind them have many shops all over the world. Once Your Majesty wants to collect business taxes, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

At this moment.

Even Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, once the commercial tax is collected, it will definitely shock the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. When the time comes, they will control the situation behind the scenes, and they may be able to paralyze the whole world."

"Your Majesty, once the market goes on strike..."
