(Thanks to the unchanging star, Wujian Xiaofeng, I only love China, Nautilus, Mengmengmengmengmengmengmengmeng for your rewards, thank you!)

In Penglai Pavilion on Danya Mountain, Li Feng sat on the soft couch behind the glass-to-floor windowsill, facing the rising sun, squinted his eyes as if he was wandering outside the sky.

Six years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the years have added several traces to Li Yan's face. There was a time when he was also ambitious and wanted to show his ambitions. He took a fancy to Li Jing, the young man who had no foundation and had a clear vision of his ambitions as he had. He had a huge plan, but the conflict between Li Jing and the Feng family continued to escalate. Li Jing entered southern Liaoning, and his development quickly exceeded his expectations.

Shamen Town General! In a blink of an eye, he became the envoy of the Daxiezhai, then the envoy of the Zhendong Army, the governor of Dengzhou, and then climbed to the Andong Protectorate and the governor of the Zhen**.

For Li Yin, Li Jing was originally a chess piece of his, but this piece was not under his control.

Now, the young master has long crossed the river and will be defeated by the old coach all the way.

Six years are very long, and six years are also very short.

King Qin, the Northeast Daxingtai, the Northeast, Hebei Marshal of the Marshal of the Army and the Kwantung Marshal of the Army!

Li Xian would never believe that the small monk town general, the young man with ambition in his eyes, had become a prince like himself, and now he is now above him.

A great minister!

He supported Li Jing several times at critical moments because he regarded Li Jing as his pawn. But now, he is actually the pawn, and he is a pawn that has no use after Li Jing only used it a few times.

In recent years, he has been staying in Dengzhou and has always served as a vice-president of Dengzhou as the title of King Zhao. Dengzhou has been replaced by several governors. He has never changed his vice-president.

In recent years, he has witnessed the earth-shaking changes in Dengzhou under Li Jing's rule.

He saw that after Li Jing took over Dengzhou, the reform of the officials and officials in prefectures and counties and the new civil service examination system, the officials selected from the prefectures and counties selected were mostly Qingming. The later clerk examination system even made a major change in the clerk system that had not been changed over the years. Certificates are no longer just county officials privately recruited, but they have formal official status. With formal salary and excellent clerks, they can also be promoted, become miscellaneous positions, miscellaneous positions, and even through outflows, and finally become qualified to be an internal official.

At the beginning, Li Feng was very surprised by the clerk system. There were tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty and only more than 18,000 officials, but there were more than 300,000 clerks. Officials and officials were the boundary between clear and turbid. Moreover, this boundary was extremely obvious, but now Li Jing broke this boundary. Although there were civil servants and clerk exams. The civil servant exam recruited only officials at the time, while the clerk exam recruited lower-level clerks such as yamen runners.

But Li Jing included these clerks in the unified official system, and even their salary was included in the government's financial expenditure. What surprised him even more was that Li Jing opened the boundary between clear and turbid currents and clearly pointed out the advantages of clerks in their work, and finally had the opportunity to be promoted to civil servants. The advantages of civil servants in their work, and finally had the opportunity to become foreign officials. Foreign officials had excellent work and had the opportunity to be promoted to internal officials.

Things that have never been seen in thousands of years.

Originally, Li Feng wanted to watch Li Jing's jokes. After all, since ancient times, the clerk class has been called turbid currents, which is a big reason. It can be said that local officials have been unable to truly solve the problem for several dynasties.

But the result shocked him even more. In the past few years, the officials under Li Jing's rule have been mostly clear-headed and the people are at peace and contentment.

After the implementation of the grain system of stakes to earn acres, farmers' taxes were reduced and mergers slowed down.

After strong support for industry and commerce, urban industry and commerce have developed and culture has become more prosperous.

From the fifth year of Qianfu to the sixth year of Qianfu, not only were the shogunate warehouses abundant, but also the treasury and Yi warehouses in various prefectures and counties, which were also abundant. Under the rule of Li Jing, the grain in each prefecture and county was stable for two consecutive years at 5 cents per kilogram of rice, only 20 cents of rice, and only 600 cents of stone rice. In fact, the most important daily necessities such as salt, oil, and cloth were stable at a very cheap number.

At this time, the rice price in other parts of the Tang Dynasty was at least five or six hundred cents per bucket, which was twenty or thirty times that of Dengzhou.

The average farmer now pays less food, which makes him even more shocked. It turned out that a few years ago, an ordinary person had a two-tax amount of between 4,000 and 600 cents a year, and he had to pay additional levies from some places. But now, the people's land tax and Dingfu money were added together, and only ten cents were paid per acre. The household's money was abolished and the additional levies were abolished. A household's 100 acres of land was a total of 1,000 cents. The most important thing is that after paying this thousand coins, there was no need to pay Yaofu from then on. The money collected already included this money for the agency.

Originally, in Li Yan's opinion, although such a tax reform was good, where did the money and food in the feudal towns come from?

But in fact, Li Jing has become richer and richer in recent years, and the people are getting better and better. This is simply incredible.

Li Jing's wealth surprised Li Yan.

In Dengzhou, Dengzhou City is now ten times the original, with a population of more than one million. Dengzhou Port is even more prosperous, and the entire city has been expanded several times. Now the official roads in Dengzhou are all flat roads paved with bluestone, and all four-wheeled carriages can be smoothly opened. Moreover, Dengzhou has the opportunity to carry out industrial and commercial construction, and has spare no effort to promote water conservancy, repair roads, and communicate rivers and canals.

It is absolutely wrong to say that you don’t pick up any relics on Dengzhou Road, and you can’t even find a beggar in Dengzhou.

The government has a special agency to adopt abandoned infants and orphans, and to the elderly who are unattended.

Schools in Dengzhou are even more densely populated, and several school districts are even more numerous. There are more and more children who know the text and sly, and there are even many specialized girls' schools. There are even a large number of technical schools opened by commercial banks to train workers, teach cultural knowledge, and have special medical schools.

In Dengzhou alone, there are more than twenty kinds of newspapers and magazines.

Under the prosperous economy, merchants from various countries can be seen everywhere in Dengzhou, and a large number of merchants even settled in Dengzhou to open shops here.

The weekly auction of Dengzhou Auction House can influx of tens of thousands of people to bid for various precious goods and new technologies.

Dengzhou Arena’s current polo league. Every game can attract tens of thousands of people to watch.

Nowadays, the commercial tax in Dengzhou alone is already shocking. Dengzhou Customs' customs tax revenue last year reached more than 6 million yuan, and this amount was even ten times that of Guangzhou Maritime Warehouse.

The commercial tax in the entire Northeast Road has risen to 10 taxes due to war. Last year, the commercial tax in Northeast Road combined to more than 30 million guan.

What's more, a large number of workshops in Dengzhou belong to Li Jing's workshops. Last year, the profits generated by these workshops reached more than 10 million.

Moreover, there are ten ocean-going fleets, each with more than 200 sea ships. The number of people traveling at one time is at least 5,000, and the number of ten caravans is more than 50,000. There are dozens of caravans in China.

These caravans alone brought Li Jing more than 10 million yuan in revenue last year.

In the fifth year of Qianfu, the fiscal revenue of Li Jing's vassal states reached more than 40 million guan, of which more than 2 million guan taxes were taxed. In addition, the total taxes of salt, tea, iron and minerals reached more than 3 million guan, while the tariffs reached 10 million guan, and the industrial and commercial tax reached 30 million guan. Together, the fiscal revenue was more than 45 million guan.

In addition, a large number of workshops and ocean-going fleets have earned more than 30 million yuan in profits for Li Jing.

Although the shogunate immigrated to develop the Northeast while constantly expanding its military and spending a lot of money, Li Jing's private treasury income plus the financial income of the vassal states was as high as more than 70 million yuan. This figure is already extremely astonishing.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the total amount of money, grain, silk, etc. was more than 50 million guan per year. During the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, the two tax law was implemented, and the country collected more than 2.5 million guan and 4 million guan per year for the outside world. The money was more than 9.5 million guan and 6 million guan per year for the capital. During the reign of Emperor Dezong, the country spent more than 30 million guan and 20 million guan per year for the rice.

During the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, the price of rice ranged from 100 to 100,000 yuan. According to the ordinary rice prices in Dengzhou today, these more than 20 million stones of rice are worth more than 10 million guan. If calculated based on the price of rice during the reign of Emperor Dezong, these more than 20 million stones of rice can be worth 50 to 60 million guan.

Li Jing's taxes no longer collect physical goods, but all of them are charged. However, Li Jing has huge industrial and commercial and maritime trade taxes as the main body. Although he only occupied one-tenth of the territory in the world, the tax revenue has reached nearly half of the national tax revenue in the Dezong era after the Anshi Rebellion.

Relying on the huge profits of industry, commerce and maritime trade, the shogunate and Li Jing's inner treasury are abundant.

A large number of people flocked to the Northeast, divided the land and reclaimed land, and provided a large amount of food to the shogunate. At the same time, more people worked in workshops and mines, creating more tax revenue. By this time, Dengzhou was the richest in the Northeast, and the Northeast was the richest place in the country. The shogunate had a large number of self-cultivated farmers and workers, and a large number of middle-class families were also produced.

Every family has surplus grain and every household has livestock.

Especially after seizing the Northeast, the shogunate owned a large amount of land and was able to be distributed to the people, so that all the fugitives and hidden families could be divided into land and became taxpayers, and also alleviated the problem of land annexation. While the self-cultivated farmers increased a lot of money, the shogunate made it possible to earn a lot of money through industry and commerce and trade, and instead used this money to stabilize the prices of food, oil, cloth, salt and other biological products under its rule, and to support the large-scale immigration and infrastructure of the shogunate, feeding back to agriculture, and reducing the burden on ordinary people.

Li Feng had already understood a little, and Li Jing completely broke out of the old nest and found a new way.

However, the extreme prosperity of industry and commerce also made Li Xian keenly realize that there are still hidden dangers here.

However, it is not clear what kind of hidden dangers there will be, but this hidden danger may not be seen in his lifetime.

Now, what he could see was that five million people from thirty prefectures and one hundred counties praised "Mr. Li" at the intersection, and Li Jing's reputation was beyond words in the whole East. After the additional expeditions and servitude were abolished and the land was regained, the people were all grateful to the sect. No one would give these contributions to the Li Tang world, nor to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they would only thank Li Jing.

Although the merchants now pay taxes of ten taxes and one tax, under Li Jing's rule, the taxes paid are not worth mentioning compared to the money they earned. What's more, under Li Jing's rule, in addition to the rich financial gains, the status and treatment given to merchants by Li Jing was also impossible to obtain in other parts of the Tang Dynasty. Here, merchants earned money and paid more taxes, and even became noble jazz. They could be with officials and scholars in a noble family.

The generals and soldiers under Li Jing also enjoy high salaries and rewards, and also enjoy extremely high social status. These troops are no longer low-cost professions, but have become the most glorious professions. Li Jing gave them generous treatment and at the same time they gave them extremely high social status. Just imagine, who can make these soldiers change their loyalty? I believe that as long as Li Jing does not change the treatment and status of these soldiers for a day, these soldiers will definitely continue to support Li Jing.

Li Feng first supported Li Jing, but he made Cao Cao, Sima Zhao, and Liu Yu!

He supported Li Jing at the beginning because he wanted Li Jing to help him achieve great achievements, but now he has helped out a devastating person of the Tang Dynasty.

The facts are so ironic. Li Jing has now proved to him that his vision was indeed correct and he chose an excellent talent. But Li Jing also proved to him today that his vision was too bad and he didn't realize that Li Jing would be today.

Li Yin has been in Dengzhou in recent years and has seen Li Jing more and more clearly. This is an ambitious person. He has been working hard for today since the beginning. Li Jing never thought of being loyal to Li Tang. It seems that from the beginning, he was preparing to overthrow Li Tang.

Step by step, Li Jing has already possessed this ability.

He has great prestige and possesses human hearts.

At the same time, Li Jing also has the strongest troops in the world!

Compared with what Li Jing did in the East, everything the court in Chang'an did was so bad.

If the army, people, merchants, and even the aristocratic clans in the world make a choice, and they will either be loyal to Li Jing or Li Tang, then Li Xian believes that there will be almost no suspense.

From the beginning, everything Li Jing did was separated from Li Tang.

Li Jing has not rebelled yet. In Li Feng's opinion, this is definitely not that Li Jing is loyal to Li Tang, but that Li Jing is very treacherous. He can see farther than others. Although he has this strength, he does not rush to take that step. He just boils the frog in warm water and heats it slowly. When the water is really boiling, it is too late for the frog to jump out.

In fact, there are still many gentry and powerful people in the world who are still loyal to Li Tang, or in other words, there are a large number of people who are not willing to make a choice between Li Jing and Li Tang.

As long as Li Jing is still a minister of the Tang Dynasty, even if Li Jing's actions have long been known to everyone, as long as there is still a trace of hope, there will still be many heroes who will still be bound by this.

Once Li Jing takes that step, it is equivalent to forcing a lot of people to make a choice, and many of them may become his enemies.

Just like himself, in fact, to this point, he still has a faint hope in his heart. He hopes that although Li Jing acts domineeringly, he will not take that step in the end. He hopes that perhaps Li Jing will be a powerful minister, but he will not be a usurper. Because of this hope in his heart, he has been in Dengzhou for the past few years, watching the storm. Even behind his back, he secretly supports Li Jing.

I remember that when he was the hero of Emperor Wu of Wei, he was still afraid of being a rat and was afraid of weapons. He regarded himself as a Han official throughout his life and never became emperor. What's more, today, although the Tang Dynasty's family declined and people's minds changed, the hearts of the Tang Dynasty have not been completely lost for three hundred years.

But on the other hand, the royal family is too unscrupulous.

Li Feng believed in his heart that if the Tang Dynasty could work hard and make progress, perhaps Li Jing would be a capable minister in governing the world, rather than a traitor in troubled times. After all, it was his royal family that was not successful. If there were a few more Emperors of Xianzong and Emperor Xuanzong, how could Li Tang become what he is today?

Li Jing has a rebellious temperament. Now it seems that it is not simply rebellious, but rebellious.

If the situation continues to develop like this, I am afraid that even if Li Jing is willing to be a minister of the revival of the Tang Dynasty, the civil and military officials under Li Jing will want to be founding heroes and support the merit of Conglong.

Just thinking about it, I still feel a little unwilling.

Cao Cao has always used the emperor to command the princes throughout his life. If he took the initiative, would he have the opportunity to replace the little emperor in Chang'an who gave Luoyang to the thief and is now preparing to send it to Chang'an? Even if he can only be Li Jing's puppet emperor, if he works harder, he might be able to make Li Jing Guo Ziyi instead of Sima Zhao?

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any other way to continue the Tang Dynasty.

"Father." Princess Xihe Li Huier arrived, "What's the matter with the father calling his daughter?"

Li Feng turned his head to look at his daughter. Her daughter was already at the age of getting married, but she has not yet married. On the surface, she was busy with the workshop all day, but in fact he didn't know the details. Although the matter between her daughter and Li Jing seemed to be secret, there were probably not many people who knew about it in Dengzhou City. He had always turned a blind eye to this matter before and thought he didn't know it, but in fact, he knew it clearly.

Today, Li Huier was wearing a light white palace outfit, but her elegant appearance was a bit more elegant. The wide skirt was winding behind her, elegant and luxurious. The black hair like jade was simply tied with a flying fairy bun, and a few plump and round pearls were randomly embellished between her hair, making the dark cloud-like hair look softer and more moist. The beautiful eyes were radiant and colorful, and there was a light smile between her red lips.

My daughter has grown up and has become more and more beautiful in recent years. She has lost a little bit of a girl's youth and has a little bit of maturity and temperament.

"Hui'er, do you feel wronged to follow Ji Yu like this?"

Li Huier was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect her father to say this. She also knew about the matter with Li Jing, but her father had never talked about it and didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Li Feng said lightly: "The emperor granted the title of King Ji Yu, and recorded his clan in the name of Taizong. Do you know what this means."

Li Huier nodded. In this way, Li Jing became a descendant of Taizong Li Shimin and became a royal family. This was not uncommon, such a practice, such as Shatuo Li Guochang was given the surname Li and was recorded in the name of King Zheng, the son of Emperor Gaozu. It is said that Li Guochang and Li Keyong are now also royal families.

Some of the imperial court granted surnames only, while others were simply given surnames, while others were recorded as the royal family, becoming a royal family, which was considered a means to win over the hearts of the people.

It was nothing, but Li Jing and Li Huier were originally of the same surname. Although they were not married to the same surname, they actually meant that they were not married to the same clan. It was not impossible for Li Jing and Li Huier to get married. Especially if Li Huier was willing to become Li Jing's concubine, it would be OK.

But now that Li Jing has become a member of the Li Tang royal family, he and Li Huier have no chance to be married again.

"It's great, I don't ask for that title," Li Huier said with a smile, but there was a hint of loneliness in her voice.

Li Xian picked up the tea and took a sip, then whispered: "Although you and Li Jing can't have a reputation anymore, but, silly daughter, you can also have a child with Li Jing, which is somewhat of a make-up."

"Father?" Li Huier was a little surprised.

Li Feng chuckled and said, "The Father is for your own good. Think about it carefully. If you have a child, even if you don't have a status, so what if you don't have a status, let's talk about it, your father, I have no children. If you have a child, you will need one person to inherit my family business in the future."
