Li Ji was stunned on the spot because Li Zhi had been evasive about sending troops to Goguryeo. Why is today so direct? I suddenly thought of what Han Yi said before and couldn't help but understand it completely. I thought to myself that this kid was not lucky to be able to do today! No matter what the reason is, since Li Zhi spoke, it would be much easier to say, so I said: "Your Majesty, I wanted to say this just now, but Xu Shizhong, Lu Shangshu and others said it well, and I was also afraid of delaying the development of the country, so I found Shangshu Han. The old minister believed that the development of the country has always been ranked first, but Han Shangshu could not understand the development of the country best."

You old fox are really petty and try your best to get involved with me. Han Yi felt depressed when he heard this.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I came to Han Yi, and I want to ask him about this." As he said that, he turned his eyes to Han Yi and said, "Han Yi, you should be satisfied with pretending to be asleep, and you can always talk about it now."

He knew Han Yi very well. As long as Han Yi lowered his head and pretended to be asleep, he would definitely have something to say. Instead, he stood up and said a few words, perhaps only these two words.

Han Yi smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I really didn't pretend to be asleep. It's just that I was thinking about this matter just now, but I didn't pay attention for a moment, but the meeting ended."

"Put your trick away, tell me, can this battle be fought?" Li Zhi snorted softly.

Han Yi said with a serious expression: "After many thoughts on the empress, it is not impossible to fight this war with the national treasury, but it will definitely delay the development of the country, because the money was originally intended to be used for national development, and it cannot be affected."

Li Ji really wanted to beat this kid to death. He was too untrustworthy, but this was Liangyi Palace, so he could only bear it. However, his breathing voice had already told Han Yi very clearly that the old man was very angry now.

Do you want to vent your anger so loudly? It's so scary. Don't worry. I have to fight for me some benefits. I can't just help but not get benefits. This is not my style. Han Yi was a little silly when he heard it. He had never read a book and moved his body a little.

Li Zhi glanced at Han Yi and said, "I remember you said there was a way to get food and grass from the merchants to share the burden for the national treasury."

"Report to Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the merchants alone cannot, and they need the support of the landlords. I said at that time that the people don't have much food in their hands, so they can only be self-sufficient. The food is in the hands of merchants, landlords and treasury. Of course, the food in the treasury has the most, but it consumes a lot, and it is also responsible for the country. The food of merchants and landlords is stored there. They can't finish so much food. In fact, in all dynasties, no matter how difficult it is, it is not that there is no food, but that the food is in the hands of the landlords. They are not willing to take it out, so they have to find a way to take out the food."

"What do you do?" Li Zhi asked lightly. He knew that Han Yi must have a way. If there is no way, he wouldn't say so much.

Han Yi said: "It's not okay to grab it. After all, the country has laws and can only trade with them. Then this is a transaction. If you trade with them with the treasury, it will be meaningless. It's better to pay for the treasury, which will save you more worry. This money is used for war, so you have to trade with them with the things obtained in the war. The things obtained in this war are nothing more than three things: people, land, and resources.

According to what they currently need, this is the most critical thing, because with the Labor Act, domestic manpower is becoming more and more expensive, so slaves can reduce the cost. Since this is a transaction, then we must look at it from the perspective of transaction. The court must first increase the value of the goods in their hands. If the court can limit the number of slaves in China, the price of slaves will increase, and they will need slaves more. The value of those prisoners will be greatly improved and will cause looting. Then we can wait for the price and ask them to take out the food from their homes."

Li Zhidao: "But how to limit the number of slaves in China?"

Han Yi said: "This is very simple. You can start from three aspects. First of all, increase the cost of turning a good man into a bitch, which means directly levying taxes on it. If a good man converts a bitch, you need to pay high taxes. Secondly, it is to force officials to supervise the ratio of good man as one of the political achievements of local officials. Finally, all the sons born to the bitch are given the status of good man, so that the number of slaves in China can be reduced, but only those who have a Tang Dynasty household registration.

If this is done, the court has not deprived the landlords and merchants of existing rights and interests. There is not much or no less slaves in their own slaves, but it is difficult to increase them any more. This will gradually reduce the number of slaves in China and increase the pursuit of foreign slaves by landlords and merchants.

Moreover, doing so is very beneficial to Your Majesty. Because those slaves will definitely not have a good life, they will be grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness from the bottom of their hearts like ordinary people. This is really hard to say, but if Your Majesty is a little nicer to them, they will definitely support Your Majesty more than anyone else, because few kings care about them.

It doesn't matter to foreigners, and the captives were originally used as enslavement. To be realistic, if we ruin their families, they will not be grateful to us. If that is the case, why should we be nice to them? Especially Goguryeo, most of the 100,000 Guanzhong children were killed or injured, but many people survived, but Goguryeo refused to return them and enslaved them. Until they died, we only used the same way and treated the other person. Therefore, the people of the Tang Dynasty would not say anything. They could be said to have gained something."

After hearing this, Li Zhi thought for a while and asked, "How long have you been preparing for this sentence?"

Han Yi said: "Report to Your Majesty, I have never calculated how long it took, but every time I give your Majesty the advice I have given him is carefully considered."

Li Zhi said: "This way, can they take out the food?"

Han Yi said: "Of course there are still some resources and land. Anyway, if the merchants take these things, they will transport them back to China. Who can they sell them there, which means that they will also promote national development."

Li Zhi had heard him say this and asked Li Ji: "Sikong, what do you think?"

Li Ji immediately said: "The old minister is willing to set an example and return all the slaves in the family to good deeds."

His age was so good that he didn't want to ask for anything. His only pursuit was to destroy Goguryeo. How could he care about mere slaves?

Han Yi also immediately said: "I am willing."

Anyway, there is not a single slave in his north alley.

Li Zhi frowned. He didn't expect Han Yi to have such an idea. It was obviously a place to start a price. He didn't mention it at the beginning, but he mentioned it at this stall. If he didn't agree, Han Yi would not guarantee it. Han Yi would not guarantee it. This war was a waste of money. When Li Shimin was in war, he had to ask the Ministry of Revenue if there was any money. The Minister of Revenue said that he had no money, so the ministers in the court would object even more.

Han Yi’s meaning is very obvious now. The Ministry of Revenue is rich and can afford to fight, but it will definitely hinder the development of the country. You can do it as you please.

"I don't object, but the ministers in the court will definitely object." Li Zhi said to Han Yi.

This is OK, you have to help me settle those people.

If those people cannot be settled, how could Han Yi say this? He smiled and said, "Your Majesty's move is for the sake of the people and is an impeccable benevolent policy. As long as your Majesty, you give orders, I think most of the ministers in the court will definitely not oppose it. And the ministers, both of them, including the ministers, including the ministers, Xu Shilang, Liu Shilang, and Wei Zhongcheng, will also agree. Only Xu Shilang will oppose it, but what's the use of his opposition alone?"

Li Zhi wondered: "Why are you sure that the minister in the court will not object?"

At most, the slaves are ministers and local gentry. Slaves are slaves, and they are endless. These slaves are good men. If they cut off their roots, how could they not object?

Han Yi said, "As long as your majesty, you give the order earlier, you will definitely not have too many ministers opposed it. Just those of the Shizhong may object and just settle them."

Li Ji was confused when he heard this. This was impossible!

After thinking for a while, Li Zhi suddenly realized that after just after cleaning the Guanlong group, his imperial power had reached the critical point. Even the uncle of the dynasty was directly demoted to the barren land. Who else? Who dares to oppose him at this time? Then just clean it up. Anyway, this matter has not officially ended, and this move is morally occupies the commanding heights, and the imperial power is unprecedented, and the military representatives support it. After all, Xu Jingzong really dares to jump.

But Xu Jingzong's power was given by Li Zhi. If Li Zhi asked him to lie down, he had to lie down.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi also wanted to try the feeling of imperial power supremacy. If he said this before, he would have been criticized by the ministers to death. Now it is not certain, but when he saw Han Yi's face, he felt inexplicably angry and gritted his teeth and said, "You are really planning to the core."

Han Yi said, "If I don't even have this ability, Your Majesty will not let me be the Minister of Revenue."

"Okay, I promise you this." Li Zhi said again: "But when will you be able to gather food and grass?"

Han Yi said: "Half a year is enough to ensure the supply of 100,000 elite troops, which lasts for two years. If you cannot win in two years, you must withdraw your troops."

Li Ji said in surprise: "How did this be calculated?"

"Sikong, I've been settled all day long. If I can't even calculate this, then what else can I do?" Han Yi said.

Li Zhi believed in Han Yi's skill and asked Li Ji: "Sikong, are you sure?"

Li Jidao: "Enough."

The Tang Dynasty never fought Goguryeo for more than a year, and they had to go home in winter. If they could not fight for two years, the man would be killed.

As Han Yi said, he paid the money, Li Ji led his troops, and Li Zhi made the decision. The three of them could decide this matter, and there was no need to ask other people's opinions at all. Li Zhi was very happy and said, "Then it's decided, I will be in charge of the army this time."

When Li Ji heard the last sentence, he felt dizzy and almost fainted.
