Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1835: Gemini’s worries!
Chapter 1845 Gemini's Secret Worry!
"What? Fan Yang Lu's family and Zhao Jun Li's family also participated in the fundraising meeting?"
In the dormitory, the exclamation of the grandson queen instantly attracted Li Er's attention, and he couldn't help exclaiming.
Previously, when he was in Ganludian with Xiao Yu, Li Er saw Lantian County’s donation of 10,000 yuan, so he discussed with Xiao Yu about Lantian County’s "Getting Rich", and then he came directly In the harem, he didn't read the last few lines of the account book carefully, so he didn't know that Lu Chengqing and Li Jingxuan attended the fundraising meeting!
Listening to Li Er’s question, Empress Changsun pointed to the last two lines of the account book and said: “Yes! It is written on the account book. It is said that each of the Lu family and Zhao Jun Li’s family donated 30,000 guan. It’s strange, didn’t these aristocrats all have their nostrils in the sky before? Now why are they so kind to donate so much money to the court?"
Speaking of the last, Empress Changsun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Li Erxun's reputation went up, and the last two lines of the account book said impressively: "Fanyang Lu, donate 30,000 guan! Zhao Jun Li, donate 30,000!"
"Huh! These people are nothing more than clumsy! Whichever side is strong, they naturally stand on which side!"
Li Er frowned and snorted coldly: "The mere 30,000 yuan is like making me forget all the things they did before and relax my guard against them. It's really wishful thinking!"
Queen Changsun asked in doubt: "Your Majesty thinks that the Lu family and Li family donated money at the fundraising meeting this time to make peace with the court?"
"Make peace?"
Li Er shook his head and said: "It is not so much to make peace, but to temporarily reduce my vigilance against their two great families. In the first battle, the strongest Qinghe Cui, Boring Cui, The three families of Xingyang and Zheng were defeated by Fuzhu. The Lu family and Zhao Junli family should feel the crisis? But this situation is only temporary. I believe that once the court becomes weak, these two families will immediately turn their faces and recover. It turned out that the thousand-year-old family with upturned nostrils!"
The Empress Changsun nodded thoughtfully, but then she smiled and said: "Your Majesty said it is reasonable, but no matter what, Zheng and Li donated 60,000 yuan this time, which can be relieved. The imperative of the imperial court at the moment, they can be regarded as helping the imperial court to support the army. When Datang returns from the northern expedition to the prairie triumphantly, the imperial power is prosperous, such as the sky, I believe that even the Zheng and Li families will not dare to have two hearts by then? "
Hearing that, Li Er pondered for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Haha! What the maidservant Guanyin said is very true, regardless of whether these two families have ghosts or not, but in the end, these sixty thousand sticks are solid. Is there any reason for the court not to accept the money sent?"
The couple smiled at each other.
Lu Chengqing and Li Jingxuan, who stayed at the Longmen Inn in Lantian County, did not know the conversation between Li Er and Empress Changsun, otherwise they would definitely shout "this wave of blood loss" or "be fooled", and then Extremely depressed!
Although they participated in the fundraising meeting this time indeed to gain the court’s favor and let the court relax its vigilance towards Lu and Li, but Li Er and Empress Changsun can see through their purpose without any effort. It's no fun!
"Brother Lu, this Lantian County is really different from other places. There are many shops and streets in the city. All streets are said to be made of cement developed by Qiquge Workshop. And this Longmen Inn, whether in Zhao Jun is still Fan Yang, and there is no hotel like this majestic style. Of course, the most important thing is to live comfortably."
In the guest room on the third floor, Li Jingxuan said with emotion to Lu Chengqing sitting beside him.
Everything in the Longmen Inn has subverted the recognition of Li Jingxuan’s family. The bright and huge windows, the smooth floor, the porcelain white as jade and the hut without any peculiar smell, and the faucet that can automatically discharge water. All of this, Li Jingxuan, the eldest son of Zhao Jun’s Li family, had never seen it before. At this moment, Li Jingxuan even had such an absurd feeling in Li Jingxuan's heart: This Longmen Inn was even more than the one at home. Comfortable!
Because of this, he was so emotional.
Hearing this, Lu Chengqing shook his head solemnly, and said: "Jing Xuan, you only saw the surface, but you didn't see the hidden things in Lantian County. This is the real scary place!" /
"What does Brother Lu mean by this?"
Listening to Lu Chengqing's words, Li Jingxuan also put away the smile on his face. He looked serious and asked.
Lu Chengqing was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "As you said, Lantian County is full of shops and streets. If it weren't for Lantian County, it's not as big as Chang'an City. I'm afraid this Lantian County might be more prosperous than Chang'an City! And it is said that before our arrival, the county magistrate of Lantian County actually came to the fundraising meeting with ten thousand coins.
Ten thousand sticks is nothing in your eyes, but for a medium-sized county, I am afraid that it will not collect ten thousand sticks of tax a year! But why can the county government of Lantian County take it out so easily? Jingxuan, do you know the deep meaning? "
Hearing this, Li Jingxuan frowned deeply, and after a moment of indulgence, he said solemnly:
"Lantian County is prosperous in business. Earlier, I heard that Lantian County Office established the Department of Commerce at the beginning of this year to manage commerce in the county and create a good business environment for businessmen. On the other hand, the Department of Commerce The tax ratio has been increased five times! Now it has only been half a year. Could it be that Lantian county government has collected 10,000 business taxes through the Department of Commerce in these six months?"
Although Li Jingxuan is the eldest son of Zhao Jun’s Li family, he is definitely not the eldest son of a family who is superior and indifferent. He understands the concept of a county that can collect 10,000 taxes in half a year. This is Achievement that is hard to achieve even in the average high-level county!
And a year ago, Lantian County was just a small and medium-sized county in Datang!
"It may be far more than this million!"
Lu Chengqing shook his head again and said: "I heard that Lantian County magistrate once said when making donations that the landlord Yonganhou does not collect the taxes that Lantian County collects every year, and Lantian County’s taxes must be fully collected. For the people, for the people, that is to say, the criss-crossing concrete streets we saw in the city were all built by Lantian County's county government using the taxes collected! This is a huge cost, Jing Xuan Do you know?"
"What? So, the tax collected by Lantian County in half a year is far more than 10,000? Then its tax income for one year..."
Speaking of this, Li Jingxuan seemed to have thought of something, and didn't dare to say anything further.
Lu Chengqing opened the mouth to help him and said: "In the first year of Lantian County’s establishment of the Department of Commerce, the taxes collected by Lantian County’s county government should far exceed 30,000. Of course, following this momentum, the second and third years The year will definitely be more, because the business environment in Lantian County is getting better and better, and it can attract more businessmen to do business here! Imagine that if there are more than 1,500 counties in Datang, there will be dozens of more Lantians. In a county like the county, how wealthy the imperial court will be and how stable the imperial power will be. If the aristocratic family wants to shake this high mountain boulder, it will be harder than climbing!"
Hearing this, Li Jingxuan looked ugly and said: "Among the elders in my clan, many people are still dreaming of losing and losing in the battle between Datang and Turks, delusional about the snipe and clam fighting~IndoMTL.com~Li Family They could take advantage of the fishermen’s profit, but they never thought that today’s imperial court has many generals, no shortage of armaments, no shortage of armor and equipment, as well as peerless generals such as Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Jingde. Although the Turks are strong, it is not easy to make such a powerful Tang court seriously hurt!
Moreover, the elders of the clan only thought about the snipe and clam fight and the fisherman's profit, but they did not think that if the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks, the reputation of Li Shimin would be as high as the sky, and the power of the Tang court would flourish. ? At that time, our two great families will go to show good to the court again. Will the court that just won the Turkic victory accept our show? "
Lu Chengqing nodded, agreeing: "Jing Xuan, you are right in saying this. Some elders in our family have too little sense of worry in their hearts. In their concept, the five surnames and seven hopes are still powerful and unmatched, but they I don’t know, this world has changed! Today I saw the land of Lantian County, which has undergone earth-shaking changes, and I think it’s really a wise move for us to change our route from Qizhou to participate in the fundraising meeting!"
Lu Chengqing’s tone revealed helplessness and happiness, but Li Jingxuan sighed in agreement and said: "What Brother Lu said is what my brother thinks!"
