The land equalization system implemented at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty was one of the means to cultivate the feudal landlord's annexation power and consolidate the foundation of the feudal regime. The law itself was to protect the landlord class, so of course, it would be more lenient to them.
The reason for this situation was mainly because the era was different. The sharpest contradictions in society were also different, so the policies implemented were naturally different.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when the country was just established, there were many things waiting to be done. A lot of land was wasteland, so there was no need to worry about land. On the other hand, the ruler had to cultivate a group of feudal landlords to consolidate the regime.
But later, with the development of land annexation, farmers lost a lot of land, and rent adjustment could not continue to be implemented. The government's land tax income was greatly reduced, and financial difficulties.
Therefore, during the Tang Dezong period, the tax system was reformed and implemented two tax systems. The biggest change was to change the tax based on the number of people to the tax based on the amount of land. This increased the country's land tax income and weakened the landlord's power.
Li Zexuan sighed helplessly, "Ai ~! If you are poor, you should take care of yourself. If you are rich, you should help the world! Now, I, Li Zexuan, can be considered to have a small fortune, but I am powerless to help the world! "
Logically speaking, he also felt that the current land tax system of the Tang Dynasty was a trap, but what could he do ~? Although his rank was not low, he did not have much authority in the imperial court. With his strength alone, he could not change the situation at all.
Han Yuxi stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Li Zexuan's hand. She said, "Helping the world has nothing to do with one's personal wealth. No matter how rich husband is, it's impossible to support everyone in the world, right? Laozi said, instead of giving a man fish, it is better to teach a man to fish. Instead of giving others money, it is better to teach them a survival skill. In fact, husband, what you are doing now, is helping the world ~?
Yanhuang College teaches and educates people. Ten years later, or even a hundred years later, people will forget how glorious and rich our family is now, but there will definitely be a lot of people who will remember that our family's Yanhuang College has cultivated a large number of talents ~! Although husband did not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and expand the country's territory, what husband did is more glorious than those generals on the battlefield ~! This concubine feels extremely honored to have married such an outstanding person like my husband ~! "
Han Yuxi's words could be said to be true. That love that came from the depths of her heart, no one doubted that it was fake. After Li Zexuan heard this, he could not help but be stunned on the spot.
Right now, he felt really comfortable in his heart.
Cough, cough! That's right, so comfortable ~!
After living for two lifetimes, this was the first time he had a female fan, and it was a "licker" ~! How could he not feel comfortable ~? Also, Han Yuxi almost praised him as a saint. This made him a little smug ~!
En, such a real female fan, pink ~!
Li Zexuan wiped his nose and said, "Cough, cough! Wife, you're praising me so much that I'm almost embarrassed. Come, come, come ~! Say a few more words ~! "
The words that were just about to come out of Han Yuxi's mouth were immediately blocked by Li Zexuan's big turn of events. She almost choked. She was both angry and amused as she said, "I was serious just now, but you're being sarcastic again ~!"
"Young Master! Young Master! "
When the husband and wife were flirting, Xiao Xi took small steps and ran in from outside. She bowed to Han Yuxi and then said to Li Zexuan, "Young Master! Old Mister Li Gang sent his little grandson to pass a message. He said that there's something important for you to go to his residence for a chat ~! "
"Oh ~?"
Li Zexuan was stunned at first, then he reacted and said to Han Yuxi, "Wife, looks like I have to go and get busy again ~! In the afternoon, let Uncle Wang go to the manor to collect the rent ~! Father-in-law is there to take care of it, so there shouldn't be any problems ~! You just rest at home ~! "
"Sigh ~! What's the matter ~! Husband ~! "
Han Yuxi asked in confusion, but Li Zexuan's figure had already disappeared. This made her a little depressed.
"Xiao Xi ~! Old Mister Li, why are you looking for my husband ~? "
Since the main character had run away, Han Yuxi could only ask Xiao Xi, the "witness".
Xiao Xi's face was bitter as she shook her head and said, "Young Mistress, even you don't know about this, how would I know ~!"
When Han Yuxi heard that, she felt that it made sense and felt slightly depressed. At this moment, Li Zexuan ran back in a hurry and shouted as he ran,
"Hey, hey, hey ~! Wife, wife ~! Hurry ~! Hurry and help your husband to tie up my hair and change my clothes ~! "
Just as he ran out of the front yard, he realized that he was wearing the short-sleeved shirt and shorts that his wife had specially made for him. Moreover, his appearance was very bad. Because he had been staying at home to write his book, his long hair was messy. If it weren't for his handsome face, he would probably be treated as a beggar walking on the street at this moment.
Han Yuxi was speechless by Li Zexuan's "actions". She followed Li Zexuan into the house and covered her mouth as she laughed, "Since when did my husband care so much about his appearance ~?"
… … …
After "dressing up", Li Zexuan brought Li Gang's six or seven year old grandson, Li Anren, and rushed to Qujiang Square.
When he heard Xiao Xi say that Li Gang was looking for him, he immediately thought of the time when he personally visited Li Gang. Li Gang had told him that he would help him find a few respectable teachers from the academy. Among them, there were a few people who knew about mechanisms and machines. Li Zexuan had always wanted such talents.
That was why he was so concerned about his appearance today. He didn't want others to look down on him because of his sloppy appearance. That would be too much of a joke ~!
Furthermore, if he wore short-sleeved shirt and shorts over, Li Gang would probably kick him and scold him for being a disgrace ~!
"Anren, how can your grandfather be at ease and come over alone ~?"
Li Zexuan had his own way of coaxing children. After stuffing a few pieces of the Li family's exclusive delicacies, Li Anren instantly started calling out "Brother Xuan, Brother Xuan". The speed of his "betrayal" was within Li Zexuan's expectations.
"An old grandpa and two big brothers came over. Grandfather couldn't leave, so he asked Anren to come over ~!"
Li Anren licked the syrup at the corner of his mouth and said in a childish voice.
When Li Zexuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy, "Haha ~! Good ~! Looks like Li Gang really found a teacher for me ~! A teacher from Yanhuang College is here ~! "
When he thought of this, Li Zexuan patted Li Anren's head and smiled, "Anren, let's go ~! Let's go see your grandfather ~! "
When he thought of the mysterious teacher that Li Gang mentioned who was proficient in machines, Li Zexuan couldn't help but feel unusually excited.
