Chapter 584: Curfew


"Quickly carry Zhang Shilang to the Imperial Doctor's Office. \ The atmosphere above the court was a little weird, because just now Yuan Shan said a few words and asked a minister to lie down.

"Everyone has seen that it's really none of my business, the official is truthfully answering the questions he raised, who would have thought that this minister was so excited, since he fainted with excitement, but his accounts are not accurate, as of today, the Ministry of Economic Development has invested 730,000 yuan for the truck project, and the progress is more than three times as expected."

Won-sun continued.

"There's so much money."

Li Shimin immediately asked, hearing this amount, even the emperor is difficult to calm down, the construction of the cement road from Chang'an to Luoyang did not cost so much money, and this is still a month's consumption.

According to the intelligence, there is not even a shadow of the construction of this railway.

"Your Majesty, judging from the current progress, this money is not spent at all."

Yuan Shandao.

Li Shimin is the emperor after all, and he quickly calmed down his mentality, thinking that he also has a share in it, and he should also care about it, so he said: "If there are any difficulties that can be raised, I will try my best to help if I can solve them." ” Yuan Shan was not polite when he heard this, and immediately said: "The investment in the train project is very large, and I hope that Your Majesty can reduce the price of iron by three percent." ” Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, jumped his eyelids, if he lowered the iron reserves of the imperial court, he would lose a large part of the silver, and Yan Lide had not yet spoken, and Dai Zhou came out to object.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible, although the train project benefits the people's livelihood, but if the imperial court will make the price of iron ore bear the loss to the treasury, Your Majesty, please think twice."

Yuan Shan didn't expect this Dai Xuan to come out to object, how to say that the two of them are also acquaintances, but what people said is right, they can't be cheap and let the Ministry of Economic Development take advantage of it, and besides, I want to save money as much as possible when I put forward this, since it doesn't work, forget it.

Li Shimin was also very pleased to see Dai Zhou come out to speak, since the last time Dai Zhou was appointed to inspect the imperial history, he has taken up the post of secretary of the household department, this economic aspect, the treasury expenditure is also within the jurisdiction of the household department, this proposal is not abrupt.

"Dai Shangshu said it is reasonable."

Li Shimin said affirmatively, which means that Yuan Shanti's matter has been completely denied.

"Since there is nothing else to say, the minister has nothing to say."

After Yuan Shan finished speaking, he stood back in his place.

Then the court meeting continued, and Li Shimin asked again if there was anything else to say, which obviously meant that the meeting was about to be dismissed.

"The minister has something to say."

Won-sun stood up again.

"Speak."

Li Shimin was also very speechless about this Yuan Shan, who was a little ignorant of current affairs, and even the eunuch Ma He beside him felt that the behavior of a Yuan servant was really incomprehensible.

"Chen: Here's a piece of data I want Your Majesty to see."

Yuan Shan took out a notebook from his sleeve, and Ma He immediately went over to pick it up.

Li Shimin took this notebook and looked at it, the transaction data recorded on it was mainly the transaction data of the eastern and western cities, and the transaction data of various shops was behind.

"What does that mean?"

Li Shimin asked.

Usually there is such an important matter, His Majesty the Emperor will discuss it with his courtiers in private, and it will only be announced in the court after a conclusion is reached, but Yuan Shan is always caught off guard when he does things without consideration.

"This data can be said to represent the degree of commercial prosperity of Datang, according to the data collected by the minister, there is still room for improvement in the current transaction volume between the east and west cities and the square, that is to say, Chang'an's tax can also be doubled on the original basis."

Yuan Shandao.

"Oh, if it is true, I will reward you."

Li Shimin was a little excited, this Datang tax is the main source of funds for the treasury, if it can be doubled immediately, what else is there to say, it must be a great good thing.

"Say what you think."

Li Shimin asked directly.

The ministers also looked at Yuan Shan one after another, not knowing what he would say, and they were all looking forward to it.

But some people are worried about this, because Yuan Shan is too capable of causing trouble, I hope it is not something out of the ordinary, Du Ruhui is a little worried, but Cheng Zhijie is looking forward to it, looking at Yuan Shan's eyes with the meaning of "I support you".

"I think the curfew should be lifted."

Yuan Shan said.

He had thought about this matter for a long time, and some ministers also knew it in their hearts, so they didn't expect it to be brought up in this way today.

"The curfew is to ensure the system between the city and the market and the safety of Chang'an City, and the minister thinks that this method of shooting by the Yuan Servant is not advisable."

Wei Zheng stood up and said.

Before Li Shimin, who was in thought, could speak, someone immediately stood up against him, and then the courtiers began to whisper.

At this time, Dai Guan, the head of the household department, stood up and said: "If the treasury tax can really be doubled, maybe this law is also desirable."

Dai Xuan said.

Li Shimin saw that everyone was holding their own words, so he looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

"Your Majesty, there may be another way."

Fang Xuanling said.

Yuan Shan replied directly: "Not really. ” Suddenly, the court fell into embarrassment, and it was so direct that he didn't get to Yuanshan first, isn't this directly forcing the courtiers and Li Shimin to make a decision.

"Tell me why you can raise taxes by lifting the curfew."

Li Shimin asked.

"The cancellation of the curfew will extend the trading time, and even the night vision at night is even more lively, with the current development speed of Datang business, increasing the opening time will increase the total amount of transactions, so that the circulation of Datang goods will be faster, and the more merchants earn, the more taxes Datang will naturally have, it's that simple."

Yuan Shandao.

In fact, they all understand this truth, but they don't think about it in this way, thinking that the curfew system is in line with people's living habits during the qualifying period on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is to protect the safety of Fang City, and it is also for the safety of the imperial city.

When he thought of the increase in tax revenue, Li Shimin's heart was also ready to move.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Shan continued: "As for the safety of the market, it is possible to extend the closing time of the eastern and western markets, and it is not necessary to close the two cities separately. ” "There seems to be merit in ensuring the safety of the eastern and western cities."

Du Ruhui said.

"Your Majesty, what Du Fushu said is right, in fact, safety lies in reasonable management, and the cancellation of the curfew will make Datang more prosperous, I hope Your Majesty will approve it."

Won-sun continued.

Li Shimin thought of the "night" of the Shangyuan Festival, the curfew was lifted on the three days of the Shangyuan Festival, and people came out to enjoy the lanterns to watch various folk activities, so that the traffic and horses in Chang'an City were jammed, and the crowds were surging and lively.

If the curfew is lifted, it may really make Datang more prosperous, and sure enough, he is not a tacky emperor, and he immediately made a decision.

"The lifting of the curfew will really double the tax revenue of the state treasury, can you guarantee it?"

Li Shimin immediately asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Chang'an's annual tax revenue has doubled."

Won-sun said with a smile.
