God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1287 Calm down
After hearing this, Li Er asked curiously: "You mean, Du Gou doesn't want to stay in Chang'an City? Could it be that he isn't worried about your father's health?"

Du He said: "Father, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult since ancient times. Yesterday my elder brother was drunk, took my hand, and said tearfully, in fact, his greatest wish is to return to Dengzhou and fight to the death with those pirates. It will take one to two years to wipe out all the pirates, protect the tranquility of the Tang Dynasty, and prevent the local people from being infested by pirates. This is also the best way for him to repay his father's kindness... He also urged I said, from now on, he will protect his family and country abroad and serve the imperial court, let me stay in Chang'an City and take care of my father, even if he dies in battle, I will have no regrets."

Li Er was a little moved, and continued to ask: "Does your father know?"

Du He replied: "At that time, my father was beside me, and he fully supported my elder brother's idea."

Li Er moved his lips, and said emotionally: "You, father and son of the Du family, are really dedicated to the country and the Tang... If the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty can be like you, then I can sit back and relax, He'er , I will think about this matter carefully, you should go back first."

"My son, leave!" Du He saluted, and retreated out of the imperial study.

……

Du He had just returned to Lai Guogong's mansion.

Du Gou leaned over and asked anxiously: "He'er, what's the matter, have you told Your Majesty? Has Your Majesty agreed?"

Du He said dumbfoundedly: "Brother, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This matter will not be easy. Success or failure depends on tomorrow's morning."

"How sure are you?" Du Gou asked.

Du He thought for a while, and said: "If there is no accident, Father will let you continue to return to Dengzhou, and, moreover, may let you serve as Dengzhou's assistant."

Du Gou said happily: "So, I might still be promoted?"

"I'm only talking about possibility!"

"Maybe it can..."

Du He: "..."

The two were talking, but they saw the old Fu running in and said: "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, just now someone from the palace sent a message to let you enter the palace early tomorrow morning."

Du Gou looked at Du He in surprise: "He'er, you are amazing... Honestly speaking, are you and Your Majesty really just a son-in-law relationship? There are so many concubines in the world, and I have never seen anyone else be treated as you are." Beloved."

Du He didn't say a word, thinking to himself, we are not just a relationship between Weng and son-in-law, but also partners.

Facts have proved that even His Majesty the emperor, who is rich in the world, will be moved when he sees money.

……

The next day.

early morning.

The two Du He brothers came outside the Tai Chi Hall, but they were told that Du He could go in with other ministers, and Du Gou could only wait outside until His Majesty summoned him.

Du Gou gave Du He a sad look: "I finally understand that Your Majesty's favor to you is really unique in the world, and no one else can envy you at all."

Du He smiled without explaining.

On the Hall of Tai Chi.

Du He stood at the back, and without being summoned by Li Er, he treated himself as a transparent person.

Shang Dynasty is actually very boring.

Especially the minister standing at the back.

The positions of these ministers are close to the door, which is fine in summer, but in winter, one word: cold.

The wind is howling outside.

Several elderly ministers were standing with their noses running.

Du He just wanted to laugh.

The first item of the early court's agenda was to report the tax revenue for this year from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

I only heard Dai Zhou say: "Your Majesty, recently, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has organized manpower and calculated it. This year, the taxes sent to Chang'an from various places and entered the national treasury are a total of 530 guan."

"hiss……"

All the civil and military officials in the court took a deep breath.

Li Er was also a little surprised.

Li Er asked: "Dai Qing's family, I remember that last year's tax was only more than 800 million yuan?"

Dai Zhou nodded and said: "Exactly... This year compared with last year, there is a full 700 million more taxes. In addition to the good weather in various places, the biggest credit lies in Jingzhao Mansion. Jingzhao Mansion implemented a new tax policy. This year's The tax has increased by 400 million guan compared to last year, and the tax of Jingzhao Mansion has reached 800 million guan.”

"hiss……"

The ministers gasped again angrily.

The taxes of the entire Jingzhao Mansion accounted for more than [-]% of the entire Tang Dynasty.

The new tax policy is terrifying.

For a moment, everyone looked at Du He with complicated expressions.

This guy is going against the sky.

At the beginning, the ministers headed by Gao Shilian sent Du He to Wannian County as a county lieutenant. They thought that Du He would be suppressed for several years or even a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, this guy got rid of Gao Yuanzhi, the county magistrate of Wannian, and made a new tax policy by himself, and finally became the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture and joined the army.

Well now, Jingzhao Mansion's tax increase is obvious to all. This is a great contribution and no one can stop it.

He also heard Dai Zhou say: "Your Majesty, your lords have discussed that in view of the increase in treasury revenue this year, the money allocated to the internal treasury will increase from 50 guan last year to 100 million guan."

After speaking, Dai Zhou raised his head.

The other ministers also looked at Li Er one after another.

Your Majesty will be very happy that the internal treasury suddenly doubles the money compared to last year.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Li Er just nodded lightly: "Yes, I see."

That's it?

Dai Zhou was a little confused.

This is too calm.

The ministers didn't know it at all, and Li Er sneered in his heart: A mere one million guan is not as good as the money I earned from following Du He for two months.

At this time, Li Er stood up and said, "Come here, bring out Du He's credit book."

Zhao Yang hurriedly fetched a booklet.

It was the credit book that the ministers set up for Du He after he quelled the Lu family's rebellion.

Originally, many people had forgotten about this matter.

Who knew that Li Er was still kept by someone.

Wang Gui was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, why?"

Li Er said with a smile: "Wang Aiqing, have you all forgotten? This credit book is exactly what you set up for Du He before. Now that Du He has made credit, how can you not add credit to it?"

Everyone: "..."

I saw Li Eryi waving his hand: "The new tax policy created by Du He has allowed the Jingzhao Mansion to raise taxes by 400 million guan, and the success of the new tax policy implemented by the Jingzhao Mansion is enough to prove that this matter can be promoted throughout the Tang Dynasty. Great job!"

Many people heard the words, gritted their teeth, and finally said nothing.

There is no way to object to this credit.

I heard Li Er say again: "Okay, the taxation policy is over, and it's time to talk about the disaster relief in Chang'an City. Dai Qing's family, you are the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so let you talk about the various changes in Chang'an City. "

Dai Zhou stood up again and said, "According to His Majesty's instructions, the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent [-] officials ten days ago to inspect various places in Chang'an City, and compiled the disaster relief into a book... Jingzhao Mansion Secretary Du He, who joined the army, stood up in times of crisis, and led the disaster relief work in Chang'an City by himself. For several months, he proceeded in an orderly and orderly manner..."
