    Because the ancients basically wanted to have a scholar in their family to bring glory to their ancestors. This is also because studying was the only way out for ancient scholars. Apart from this, there was no other way. If you were from a poor family, you would not  If you take the imperial examination, it will be difficult for you to stand up and cross the class.

    But now, for the people of Zhao Manor, there is more than one way out. They can go to university and then become teachers, or they can go to Datang Central Hospital, or they can go to the industrial zone to become craftsmen. If not,  You can also go to the government as a grid worker.

    There are many ways out, so taking the imperial examination is no longer the only way out.

    The man smiled naively again and said: "Sir, Mr. Zhao also said that when you are an official, you must be a good official and benefit one party. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This may be a bit too much pressure for my child.  , so it¡¯s better to be an ordinary person.¡±

    Li Shimin smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you can just be an ordinary person."

    At this time, the door opened and the man¡¯s wife came out with a bowl of porridge in her hand.

    "Sir, please try it. This is my own millet porridge, made according to the canteen's recipe."

    The woman also has a smile on her face, with the simplicity of a peasant woman.

    "good."

    Li Shimin took the bowl with a smile and started drinking.

    "It tastes good. This millet porridge is very tasty."

    Li Shimin drank it in one breath, then smiled and said: "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, have a good New Year."

    "Okay, sir, walk slowly. If you are free, you can attend the Spring Festival Gala held in our manor tonight."

    Seeing how enthusiastic the banker was, Li Shimin said with emotion after walking away: "It's very good. I'm very energetic and full of hope for the future."

    Changsun Wuji also said: "Your Majesty, I still remember that when we conquered the world, the common people we encountered were sallow and thin, and they all evaded when encountering the army. When we compare them today, it is really a world of difference."

    Fang Xuanling also said: "What surprises me most is that this man does not want his son to pass the imperial examination."

    Li Shimin smiled and said: "This is a good thing. I have just figured it out. Taking the imperial examination is not necessarily the only way. There are only so many places in the imperial examination. Every year, some people must fail to pass. What should we do with these people?  ? So, Mr. Zhao still has vision. He has opened many different paths for these ordinary people, giving ordinary people more possibilities. Mr. Zhao, amazing."

    Zhao Chen smiled beside him: "Your Majesty, this is actually a very simple truth."

    "Oh? What's the point."

    "Your Majesty, think about it, why did the other common people's cognitive path before take the imperial examination?"

    Zhao Chen¡¯s question was very simple, but Changsun Wuji and the others began to think about it seriously.

    Fang Xuanling said: "Because apart from the imperial examination, ordinary people have no other choice."

    "Yes, before that, ordinary people had difficulty in living. They didn't have enough to eat or wear, and they couldn't save money all year round. Cultivating a scholar is the only way to change their destiny, because after passing the imperial examination, you can be exempted from taxes.  , exempted from corvee. But for the people in Zhao Manor, their lives are full of food, warm clothing, and sometimes they can eat meat for a meal. They can work in the fields, work in the industrial zone, and  They can help raise cattle and sheep, and after graduating from college, they can work as teachers and grid workers. This is the biggest difference, their economic base is different."

    Fang Xuanling and the others were all shocked: "Economic foundation?"

    Zhao Chen nodded slightly: "Exactly, the economic base determines the superstructure. To put it simply, 'the real thing in the warehouse knows the etiquette'. The most basic need of a person must be to survive. Only when you live a decent life can you consider the rest, and then you will have  More ideas.¡±

    Li Shimin nodded: "That makes sense."

    "So, to improve the living standards of ordinary people, people will naturally have a variety of choices. And Your Majesty, after passing the imperial examination, corvee service can be exempted, but taxes cannot be exempted. Everyone must pay taxes, even officials  , must also pay taxes.¡±

    This time, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

    Zhao Chen continued: "This tax, whether you are a prince or a duke, it is best to pay taxes."

    Cheng Yaojin was shocked; "Mr. Zhao, do I also have to pay taxes?"

    "Well, Lao Cheng, I'm not targeting you, but because this is necessary for a healthy mechanism. Lao Cheng, think about it, there are hereditary dukes, so hereditary dukes don't have to pay taxes. People in this duke's mansion  It will only become more and more?, if no mistakes are made, subsequent emperors will not remove the Duke's Mansion. This is equivalent to the Duke's Mansion not producing anything, but being raised by others. Once there are more Dukes, it only takes a few generations.  Emperor, then they will be too big to fall off and become a financial burden.  "

    Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Yaojin again: "Of course, people like Lao Cheng and others can be given tax concessions. After all, they have shed blood for the country, so they can pay less, but they still have to pay the tax."

    Li Shimin also thought for a while and nodded seriously: "Mr. Zhao is right. Everyone needs to pay this tax. So, when I go back and start studying, I will issue an imperial edict. As for how to pay this tax, Mr. Zhao needs to pay it."  Come and make some plans."

    Zhao Chen hummed.

    Li Shimin continued to walk forward, and then discovered that there were still large areas of farmland in the Zhao Manor. However, the area of ??these farmlands and land had been greatly reduced, and they were replaced by parks or private houses.

    "Here, Mr. Zhao, have all the houses been built on the land in the Zhao Manor?"

    "Your Majesty, the population of Zhao Manor is gradually increasing. There is nothing we can do about it. There are not enough houses. As for the crops on these lands, students majoring in agronomy at Datang University of Science and Technology are currently in charge of them. They mainly study and cultivate better crops.  Crops, while conducting research on increasing yields.¡±

    "What about the people in the manor and their land?"

    Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I'm clearing land outside the manor again. There's a lot of land being cleared. People in the manor can go directly to the north to farm, and there are bicycles, so it won't take much time."

    After saying this, Li Shimin nodded.

    "I see that this manor is developing better and better, even better than Chang'an."

    Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Manor is not far from Chang'an. According to my opinion, Chang'an and Zhao Manor can be merged."

    Zhao Chen said: "What Duke Zhao said is possible, but we need to respect the city's development laws. If Chang'an really has to expand, then merging is indeed a good choice, but as far as Chang'an is concerned, it is necessary to  There is still a long way to go to expand the city."
