I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 457 Eliminating the Three Major Hidden Dangers of the Tang Dynasty
At this time.

"Welcome to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Zheng, wearing a yellow robe, walked slowly into the council hall.

"Your Highness." Wang Hao bowed immediately after seeing him.

"Father."

"It looks like you received the message."

"How did your son handle this time?" Li Zheng asked with a smile.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "You little brat, do you really want me to praise you?"

"This time, your son solved the hidden dangers of the Three Tangs at once. Isn't it worthy of praise?" Li Zheng said with a smile, his expression was very proud.

The military power of the vassal kings was taken back by Li Zheng.

The royal family's worship was also abolished by Li Zheng.

Now the same thing happened to the last link of tax rewards for the vassal kings, which were taken back by Li Zheng.

Three changes that could have caused great danger to Datang for Ali have all been corrected. This is indeed a groundbreaking event.

"It's worth it, definitely worth it."

"My son is really amazing."

"You made your uncles surrender their tax collection powers. Even I couldn't do that, but you did it."

"You are better than your father." Li Shimin praised with a smile.

This is not a deliberate compliment, but Li Zheng deserves praise.

Li Zheng's solution completely eliminated Li Shimin's worries.

"When do you plan to let my uncles go back?" Li Zheng smiled and sat in front of Li Shimin.

"They have already been divided into different fiefdoms. Even if I want to keep them in the capital, I can't do it. Let them go back in two days."

"It's enough to let them stay for so many days this time." Li Shimin replied with a smile.

"Father."

"In addition to these things, I have one more thing to tell you." Li Zheng's expression suddenly became serious.

Seeing Li Zheng's serious look, Li Shimin was a little surprised: "It's rare to see you so serious, what's wrong?"

"Tianxiang Cardamom, I got another one." Li Zheng said slowly.

Hear the words.

Li Shimin's face immediately showed ecstasy, and he grabbed Li Zheng's arm directly: "Really?"

"It's true." Li Zheng nodded, but his expression was somewhat helpless.

"Go, wake up your brother."

"Although I told your elder brother your identity before he fell into a coma, he didn't even recognize you." Li Shimin pulled Li Zheng and was about to wake up the prince.

"Father, have you forgotten what I said before?" Li Zheng said helplessly.

"What did you say back then?" Li Shimin was stunned, and then he recalled what Li Zheng said, and his expression suddenly changed: "If you take the second Tianxiang Cardamom, and don't get the third one within a year, you will die?"

"Yeah." Li Zheng nodded helplessly: "That's why I don't dare to give it to Big Brother. If I can't find the third pill after a year, Big Brother will be completely finished."

Hear this.

Li Shimin's original ecstasy disappeared, but he soon calmed down.

"If we can find the second one, we can find the third one."

"Li Zheng."

"At least, you gave me hope."

"good."

"I am already very satisfied to hear this news. For your elder brother's sake, wait until I get the third pill and then give it to your elder brother. Your elder brother is still young, and I don't want him to die after taking this one." Li Shimin smiled and said to Li Zheng.

Looking at Li Shimin's expression, Li Zheng felt bitter in his heart.

The whole world knew how much his father valued and loved the prince. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sad seeing the prince in a coma for so many years.

"Father, don't worry."

"I will do my best to find the third one."

"I will definitely save my brother."

"This is my promise." Li Zheng said with determination in his eyes. If he wanted to get the third Tianxiang Cardamom, there was no other way, that was to go to foreign countries, expand the territory, and get rewards.

There is a chance to get the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom in the treasure chest.

but.

Now the Tang Dynasty has just destroyed Zhenla and Nanzhao, and is in internal turmoil. Li Zheng must wait until the internal situation is completely stable and the power of the Tang Dynasty is truly developed before he can use military force against foreign countries, real military force.

This marked the beginning of the era of the Tang Dynasty, on which the sun never sets.

March, the fifteenth year of Zhenguan.

In the blink of an eye, almost half a year has passed.

The cold winter has passed.

these past few months.

Since Li Zheng became regent, the entire Tang Dynasty has been changing invisibly.

Especially the city of Chang'an.

As a forerunner of the bet between the current crown prince and the emperor, Chang'an City has implemented commercial tax reforms. If we look at the taxation alone, more taxes are levied on merchants than before, but all the previous harshness on merchants is gone.

For example, in the past, if an escort agency wanted to successfully cross the border and obtain a pass, the government would face many dangers. But this no longer happens in Chang'an City. The current crown prince will personally sit in the governor's office to prevent any difficulties for merchants.

Moreover, the regulations regarding the inferior status of merchants were relaxed to a certain extent. As long as they could pay full taxes, they could wear fine clothes and go through the front gate.

Encouraged by these policies, merchants in Chang'an City went crazy and rushed to set up workshops, and business boomed.

Even the entire Chang'an City and Chang'an Prefecture became much more lively.

In the downtown area.

Two people, one old and one young, dressed in fancy clothes, were walking in this busy city under the protection of several guards with swords.

Looking at the surrounding scene, there are shops and roadside vendors selling all kinds of goods, including gadgets, food, and daily necessities. It can be said to be extremely prosperous.

In addition to the shouting from these shops and vendors, there are also people from all over the place inside.

This busy city seemed bustling with people.

"Father, how do you feel?"

Li Zheng looked at Li Shimin and smiled slightly.

"Compared to the past, it is indeed much more prosperous."

“But can this really lead to a tenfold increase in tax revenue?”

"Boy, don't forget the bet with me immediately." Li Shimin took a look and smiled slightly.

Hearing about the bet, Li Zheng also smiled: "Father, just don't regret it when the time comes."

"My promise is worth a thousand gold."

"Just prepare to lose."

"Encouraging business will never bring in revenue that exceeds agricultural taxes." Li Shimin was very confident in the national policy he had set.

"Let's wait and see." Li Zheng smiled.

A group of people.

Continue to wander around this busy city.

"Buy orange peaches, fresh peaches."

"Anyone who wants to eat peaches, come here."

"Tanghulu, Tanghulu."

"Fine rouge and powder, come and have a look."

“Fine fabrics, don’t miss it.”

"Come and have a look at our new dishes, beggar's chicken, braised duck, salted fish and bamboo shoots..."

……

The cries of vendors and the hawking in shops filled the ears.

Moreover, in this busy city, there are yamen patrolling with knives, so it seems very safe.

"They even sent bailiffs to patrol this busy city. Will this increase the sense of security for these vendors and passersby?"

Li Shimin took one look and said in surprise.
