In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 250 Li Ke's Promotion to Minister Order

Li Ke was in class, halfway through his speech, when he was suddenly interrupted by this voice, very upset.

He looked at the eunuch very dissatisfied and said, "Little Anzi, do you feel itchy, didn't you see that I was in class?"

Xiao Anzi's face suddenly became bitter, and he said weakly: "His Royal Highness, it is His Majesty's imperial decree, His Majesty's."

Li Ke was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Anzi quickly said, "It's an imperial decree from His Majesty from Pyongyang."

Li Ke's eyes widened suddenly, he hurried over and knelt down helplessly.

"Minister Li Ke, accept the order."

There is no way, he doesn't want to kneel down to this eunuch, but so many people are watching!If he doesn't kneel, how can he be a teacher in the future?

Yes, here, kneeling under the imperial decree is not a disgrace, but an honor.

Seeing him kneeling down, Xiao Anzi shouted loudly.

"Under the imperial decree..."

"On October 6, 10th year of Zhenguan, the emperor's edict..."

"Ke Ke of Shu, with a high morale and integrity, cares about the country and the community, sends clothes in time, and saves our army from danger..."

"This merit should be rewarded."

"I'm now promoted to King Ke of Shu as Minister of the Tang Dynasty, second grade, in charge of all affairs of the Six Departments and the Research Institute. I will take office immediately. There must be no mistakes. I hereby..."

gah...

All the old guys and children were stunned.

Shang Shuling, my mother!

Even Li Yuan's eyes widened.This is a position under one person and above ten thousand people!

At that time, Li Shimin was Ren Shangshuling and General Tiance.Now 14-year-old Li Ke has achieved one.

The most important thing was the Zhenguan Dynasty, and the position of Shang Shuling was almost abolished.

Now, Li Shimin has restarted this position.This is just too shocking.

Li Ke also raised his head, his eyes widened.He reached out to take the imperial decree and looked carefully.

What the hell, it really is!

Xiao Anzi said: "Congratulations to His Highness the King of Shu. His acting majesty has a decree for you to go to court immediately, and there will be no mistakes."

"understood."

Li Ke held the imperial decree and looked back at Li Yuan with bitterness on his face.

Yes, where does he have time to be a minister?His bank hasn't been done yet, so it's very busy, okay?

All the masters stood up one after another and cupped their hands to him and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Good thing, let's go!"

Li Ke's face became even more bitter.

"I went, who will give you lessons?"

Li Yuan said: "Don't worry, there is always a chance, let's talk about it when you are not busy!"

Li Ke felt relieved after thinking about it.

He has finished teaching Arabic mathematics, and his talents are basically in place.Whether he attends classes or not doesn't have much impact on him.

"Okay, let's go! Heitantou, let's go, go to Chang'an."

Yuchi Baolin immediately ran out: "Here, Lord Shang Shuling, I'll prepare your horse right now."

Soon the horses will be ready.

Li Ke got on his horse and took Yuchi Baolin and others to the city of Chang'an.

"Shu King Li Ke, I have met your acting majesty."

In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Ke cupped his hands to Li Chengqian and said.

All the civil and military officials around looked at Li Ke differently.

This guy is now a minister, and this is the head of civil servants!

Originally, there were Taishi, Taifu and Taibao on Shangshuling. Although they had no real power, they were still senior officials than Li Ke.

The ridiculous thing is that the Zhenguan Dynasty didn't even have these three positions.As mentioned earlier, I originally wanted to make Bigan a grand master, but Li Ke finally rejected it.

Now, without these three positions higher than him, who can overwhelm Li Ke.

Li Chengqian, who was above the high position, said with a smile: "Congratulations, third brother."

Shang Shuling is almost on an equal footing with his acting majesty.

Li Ke smiled wryly and said, "Brother, I said I don't want to do it, can I?"

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "No, this is the imperial father's imperial edict. If you don't do it, you will be disrespecting the edict, and you will lose your head. Haha..."

Li Chengqian smiled happily. It was too difficult for him to carry it alone in the court these days.

Now that Li Ke is here and has become a minister, he feels relaxed.

Everyone also bowed their hands to Li Ke and expressed their congratulations.

Li Ke bowed his hands to them helplessly, expressing his return.Then, he obediently stood in his place.

Those civil servants also very consciously gave him the first place.

Are you kidding, he is Shang Shuling, who is older than Fang Xuanling!
Li Chengqian said: "Okay, let's continue to talk about things. Where did we talk about just now? Oh, by the way, we are talking about population.

Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Dai Zhou Dai, is this the population you found out?How can it be possible that our Datang has only more than 100 million households?Do you think this number, lonely letter? "

Dai Zhou frowned, and came out and said, "Your Majesty, there is no way. This is the number that our Ministry of Civil Affairs found out this year. This is a real number, and it did not deceive His Majesty the Deputy."

Dai Zhou also had no choice.He also knew that Datang had more than just such a few people.

However, Datang collected taxes on a per capita basis.Those aristocratic families hide everyone who can hide!Who is willing to report?
People from the Ministry of Civil Affairs went to the village to conduct a census, but they all ran away.Either go to work in the field, or hide.

You can only ask the village administrator, that is, the village head, as much as he says.

When paying taxes, they hand it over to the village head, who then pays it up.

This is convenient, but the money is low!

Taxes are collected per head, and the population is small, so the taxes paid are small.

Some people are about to ask, how can they have land if they don't have an identity?

In fact, they are really landless.They all work for people with land, and the tax money is also paid by people with land.

How could these rich landlords and aristocratic families report the real numbers?Tax evasion is not a modern patent.

Li Chengqian sighed after hearing Dai Zhou's words.

Said: "Master Dai, last year there were so many people, and this year there are so many people, and the tax money paid is also the same, every year. If this continues, how will Datang develop?"

Dai Zhou said helplessly: "Your Majesty, if the population does not increase, there is nothing I can do about it!"

Li Chengqian had no choice but to ask: "My dear friends, do you have any solution?"

All the ministers lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Chengqian, for fear that Li Chengqian would name him.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to look at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to stand out and said, "As your Majesty's agent, I have nothing to do."

At this time, Li Ke discovered that Changsun Wuji had actually changed his official uniform.Still wearing the official uniform of the right servant.

Isn't he the Minister of Rites?

Li Ke was speechless, he hadn't paid attention to the court for too long, and he didn't know when the eldest grandson Wuji would come up again.

But it's okay, he, Li Ke, is now Shang Shuling, who happens to be in charge of him.

Hey, it's fun now.
