In fact, at this time, Han Yi did not have much effort to deal with family matters, and he did not have time to go to the hot spring manor for vacation. Although he successfully pushed Wu Meiniang to the throne, if he did not do well, it would be useless. At present, the Tang Dynasty is still facing internal and external troubles. You must know that Wu Meiniang is not here to enjoy her ascendant, and there are many things waiting for her to do.

Li Zhi’s funeral.

Work in the war zone.

Hungry people.

It is to continue to implement the system of restraint, but to re-plan the territory of the Tang Dynasty and how to manage those places.

etc.......

Affairs are already piled up.

Moreover, these are problems that have been accumulated for a long time and cannot be solved one by one. They must be solved at the same time, and one cannot be delayed. The difficulties in this have increased a lot.

Therefore, Liangyi Hall often holds meetings all night long, and Zhang Wenguan and others can't stand it, after all, they are old.

When Li Hong saw this scene, he secretly thanked that if it were him, he would probably die in Liangyi Hall. He would definitely not be able to stand it. Not to mention all night, if he didn't rest, he would feel very uncomfortable all day. He suddenly thought about it, and ten years would be ten years, and he didn't feel at all.

First of all, what should I do when Li Zhi’s funeral?

The merchants are now willing to give money, but their money is extremely limited. At the same time, they have to save the people in the northwest. Is it important to be the emperor's funeral or the lives of the people?

In the end, Wang Xuandao thought of a way: Let’s not take the grand route, but take the sensational route.

It is to invite a group of Taoist priests to do the same. No one is invited. The people will carry Li Zhi's coffin to the tomb independently. In a relay manner, Li Zhi has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness. It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for the people of the world to send Li Zhi to the last journey. Even the story of the eternal history is the most important thing. The most important thing is to save money, but the atmosphere is definitely much better than the grand route.

Wu Meiniang finally adopted Wang Xuandao's suggestion, and the Ministry of Works spent three days and three nights to get a coffin carried by one hundred people.

When Li Zhi was in funeral, the atmosphere was moved. The people along the way were excited and rushed forward, rushing to carry the coffin for Li Zhi. Many people followed along the way, crying.

Although I walked slowly, I kept walking day and night, and the people kept relaying. Even at night, everyone held torches, and the scene was even more tear-jerking.

No emperor is so deeply loved by the people.

This also creates a record, because the number of participants reaches 200,000, and this record will surely be recorded in history, and will become the best compliment for Li Zhi in his life.

You should know that in the past, the imperial court forced the people to go to the burials, and this was all voluntary by the people.

What's even more coincidental is that Li Zhi didn't like those luxury goods in his life. He was a frugal emperor. Then the ministers suggested that they just need some daily necessities that Li Zhi usually used, and keep those luxury goods. Don't bury them. The Shaofu is so poor, don't waste them like this. Those luxury goods can be mortgaged for a lot of money. Therefore, Li Zhi's burial objects are very ordinary. Like Li Shimin, the burial objects are all gold, silver and jewelry, and Wang Xizhi's paintings. The whole word is vulgar.

Li Zhi took the elegant route.

As for the people who were buried with him, Wu Meiniang decided not to arrange for him to be buried with him, but she arranged for the concubines, eunuchs and palace maids around Li Zhi to raise them in a palace next to the tomb, but she was not allowed to leave.

After all, these people are people around Li Zhi. They know a lot of things, so they must not be released easily. They either kill them or have to stay in the palace. Now Wu Meiniang is in power. How could she keep Li Zhi's concubines and not kill them? It was because she had just ascended the throne and chose to raise them.

Those people are still grateful.

As for how to help the people in the northwest region and Tuyuhun region, Wu Meiniang certainly adopted Han Yi's suggestion, which was to use private business to rescue him. In fact, he could only go this way, because the country could not afford money for the time being, but the court still gave preferential loan policies, which was to let the Jinxing and Yuanxing lend money to the Northwest merchants, and the court helped them bear the interest. In fact, Han Yi's interest to the court was very low.

It was already three o'clock, but the lights in the Liangyi Hall were still brightly lit, which had become the norm.

Wu Meiniang threw the memorial in her hand on the desk in front of her and complained: "So many problems and money is needed everywhere. Even if I stayed up, it would be useless, because I couldn't afford to pay so much money at all."

If there were many people sitting below, she would definitely not complain. Now there is only one minister sitting below, which is Han Yi.

"Isn't this what you've always dreamed of?"

Han Yi stood up and walked to the side. He saw a table there with wine and pastries on it. Because he was busy every day, wine and pastries had become a regular one.

Wu Meiniang snorted: "This is what you imposed on me."

"If there is no such great difficulty, you think you can sit on it, the saint will give great responsibilities to this person..."

Before he could finish reading, Wu Meiniang said, "Shut up! The fields that have never been read."

Han Yi was not annoyed at all, but instead laughed, came to Wu Meiniang with two glasses of wine, handed a wine glass over, and said, "Let's take a break first, your tired brain will only make things worse and worse."

Wu Meiniang glanced at him and took the wine glass.

But Han Yi sat directly beside her.

Wu Meiniang was stunned. She couldn't let others sit next to the dragon couch, but she was stunned for a moment. Not only did she not scold Han Yi, she took the initiative to lean on Han Yi, staring at the red wine glass in her hand with a dull look.

Women are not as good as men in this regard. Men can lick their wounds alone, but women still need to rely on them when they are in trouble, even if this woman is Wu Meiniang.

Han Yi gently held her and asked with a smile: "What about regret?"

Wu Meiniang said lightly: "I rarely regret it."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the problem will be solved step by step!"

Wu Meiniang sighed quietly: "That has to be solved, there are a lot of problems now, and some of them cannot be solved at all."

Han Yi said: "It is impossible to solve it because you still maintain a traditional idea of ​​governing the country, that is, you have to do everything, and you have to make decisions on everything, and you can't wait to make achievements to show the people. In fact, if the court gives the people more freedom, the wound will naturally heal. In addition, if you solve all problems in a few seconds, the prince will definitely feel that he has been fooled."

Wu Meiniang said, "How do you say this?"

Han Yi said: "The people are rich and the country is rich. As long as the people are rich, the country will be richer. What you need to do is to make the people richer. This will not only solve the problem, but also fill the national treasury."

Wu Meiniang pondered for a moment and said, "This is easy to say, but it is harder to do!"

Han Yi smiled and said, "It's not difficult, just reduce taxes."

Wu Meiniang suddenly raised her head and said, "Now the national treasury is so poor, how can we still reduce taxes?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "As long as the economy is good, the country will not be short of money."

Wu Meiniang thought for a while and said, "Voucher?"

“That’s right.”

Han Yi said: "Now my Tang Dynasty has more people and more people. If these places are turned into markets, the demand for vouchers will inevitably increase, and the country can issue more vouchers, and the stamp duty will increase on a large scale."

Wu Meiniang said: "How to reduce taxes?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "The main thing is to reduce agricultural taxes. Food is the foundation. Only with cheap food, the people will have more money to consume. Consumption will promote the growth of stamp duty and the market's demand for vouchers. At the same time, the manufacturing industry will be greatly promoted. As long as the surrounding areas demand the goods of our Datang, vouchers that can buy the goods of the Datang will be recognized, and vouchers will be further demanded. More importantly, vouchers in the past were related to copper storage, but if they were related to manufacturing, the space would be greater. At this time, the court holding vouchers would not be poor. But the court should do it, just reduce the tax and agricultural tax."

Wu Meiniang said: "But...but I have the final say in tax cuts, but Congress."

Han Yi said: "The queen can personally visit Congress and use vivid speeches to convince Congress to agree to the tax cut. Think about it, how much people's hearts can be won by Queen! Moreover, when you reduce the agricultural tax, you can propose policies to encourage business development. The farmers will definitely have no objection, so that everyone in the world will be the queen."

Wu Meiniang said: "But the country has to pay off its debts. When tax cuts are reduced at this time, it will violate the national debt contract."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Did you forget that we still have enough copper storage? When the war broke out, copper reserves seemed not so important. We issued treasury bonds with tax guarantees. With the development of the economy, copper reserves will become very important. We can reserves for copper to guarantee next year's expenditure."

Wu Meiniang said, "Yes! I almost forgot that we still have bronze."

Han Yi said: "But the economy must develop, and these copper reserves will be useful."

Wu Meiniang said, "Then how much tax do you plan to reduce?"

"half."

Wu Meiniang nodded and suddenly asked again: "I heard that Congress is discussing military and political reforms recently."

Han Yi smiled and said, "You want to ask about Guanlong Arsenal."

Wu Meiniang said, "You promised to hand it over."

Han Yi said: "The problem is that the treasury can't afford it now!"

"You want to go back on your word!"

Wu Meiniang suddenly raised her head, but Han Yi kissed her right away. She couldn't help but open her eyes, but it was too late.

After a fusion of lips and tongue, Wu Meiniang's cheeks were red, and she pressed her hand against his chest, and said a little nervously: "This is Liangyi Palace, you can't do anything nonsense."

Although she has become the queen of the world, she does not want to end her intimate relationship with Han Yi immediately. Although Han Yi is the person she distrusts the most, everything will turn against it. In a sense, Han Yi is also the person she trusts the most.

Liangyi Palace is so exciting! Although Han Yi thought so, he didn't dare to do anything randomly. He smiled and said, "In fact, it doesn't matter whether I'm going to hand over or not, but it's good for everyone. Think about it, Congress already controls the army. If they let them control weapons, it's also very dangerous."

Wu Meiniang narrowed her eyes and said, "But I'm not relieved in your hands."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Actually, in my hands, it is the most beneficial to you. Today, do you still think I have any intentions? Protecting you is protecting my interests."

.....

.....

In fact, Han Yi’s strategy is very simple, which is to stimulate business development and increase the demand for vouchers, and then link vouchers to manufacturing, so that the currency and finance can be unified.

Wu Meiniang also adopted Han Yi's suggestion, condescended to the Congress, and delivered a touching speech, demanding that the Congress reduce the agricultural tax by half.

First of all, this war, the farmers played a great role and should praise them and repay them.

Secondly, there are no strong enemies around the surrounding area, and the government does not need so much reserve.

Finally, this can also stimulate agricultural growth and ensure that the important policy of agriculture as the fundamental country is not shaken, which is very beneficial to the country.

For this reason, she was willing to reduce her salary and reduce the palace expenditure. She also proposed to use copper storage to guarantee the expenditure in the past two years.

In the end, this plan was passed with an absolute advantage of 45 to 14, because Lu Shi Gua did not come back, so there was a single vote missing.

After the tax cut proposal was passed, the people were excited and everyone was happy.

Tax cuts are to reduce the burden on the people. If the burden on the people is reduced, consumption will naturally increase, and at the same time stimulates business development.

At the same time, Wu Meiniang issued a policy of valuing business to eliminate all restrictions on merchants and some restrictions that are not conducive to business development. For example, color was restricted in the past, but Wu Meiniang allowed any color to wear, but the dragon robe and official uniforms were definitely restricted.

In addition, all the Liuzhao, Tiel, Muhe, Tubo and the northwest regions were classified as autonomous regions. In this way, another problem arises, namely, complete autonomy or partial autonomy. Of course, the court chose partial autonomy. Complete autonomy is no different from the throne government, which requires the constitution.

The Constitution applies to all regions, and under the Constitution, each guarantees its own characteristics.
