The news of Li Chao's victory in Hebei was just returned, and then there was good news that Li Ji defeated Yugu in Daibei and killed 8,000 in formation.

The prince's regent, and on the morning court, he took Liu Shi, the chief censor, to the end, and asked all officials in the world to write suggestions on the new policy. At the same time, the 100-acre tax threshold for the two tax laws was announced on the same day.

This series of news made Xiangyang City a mess.

The old party members had the same unity and wanted to force the palace to go all out. Without the pioneer Liu Shi, and the prince proposed these, the old party members felt that there was no need to use such intense means and had the opportunity to abolish the new law.

Of course, it is not ruled out that many people were scared by the prince's methods. Liu Wei's chicken killed it, which really scared many monkeys.

With the announcement of the edict, the people were more happy.

This two-tax threshold makes many people not have to pay taxes. Even if they pay, they can’t pay much. Compared to the fact that directly increasing the burden on two-tax is greatly reduced this time.

"Hello, Your Highness, Prince."

"Renren."

"I'm dedicated to the people who are waiting for us."

The people praised it.

At the same time, various yamen also ushered in a wave of ups and downs of people's affairs. These people came to apply for household registration, and to be more specific, they came to divide households.

The Tang Dynasty did not oppose the rule of the people's separation of families. On the contrary, it encouraged the separation of families. Generally speaking, families with many brothers encouraged the older sons to separate the family, while the younger son lived with his parents and did not separate the family. Of course, when the parents were old, other sons also had to support them.

However, although the court encouraged it, there were still some families with a large family, three or four generations, and four or five brothers may live under the same roof and live together. It turns out that there is another advantage in doing so, taxes, miscellaneous fees, etc., sometimes levy by household.

If there are many people, it is also a household, and if there are fewer people, it is also a household. Of course, the smaller the household, the less money you pay.

But now it's different.

Now the prince’s words have changed the two tax laws.

The regular tax has not changed, and it is still levied on the tax, but the two taxes have been changed. The starting point of each household is 100 acres, and there are no two taxes under 100 acres.

It turned out that the family had three or four generations of accomplices, and several brothers were together. The family might have four or five or even five or six people. After paying the regular tax, they would also pay two taxes.

Now there is a new standard. If the family is divided, then after counting, each small household does not have to pay two taxes after becoming one household, so it basically does not meet the standard of more than 100 acres of land.

Large households have to pay two taxes. After the separation of the family, small households don’t have to pay.

The common people are actually very good at calculating, and they can also calculate such simple arithmetics.

Then the imperial edict was issued, and everyone rushed to the yamen to change their household registration, and every family was setting up households.

The yamen had already received the official documents from the superiors, and they were very happy about it. For the court, small households are actually more beneficial. Small households will reduce the control of the clan leader over the family members, which will also benefit the local government's control over the people.

Of course, in the long run, there are more than just these benefits, but these are not something ordinary people can understand.

The most important thing is that the atmosphere in the court has changed.

The original situation of the old party unity has collapsed. Although it cannot be said that the old party’s opposition to the new law has been resolved, at least it gives more room for operation for this matter.

In the imperial study, after listening to the report from Eunuch Wang, he laughed proudly.

"The prince is so great, beyond my expectations. His methods of doing things are decisive, steady, accurate, and have a bit of my style, hahaha."

Although the prince's words caused the court to lose the two taxes of countless people, it was nothing to Li Shimin.

The vast majority of the land in this world is actually in the hands of a very small number of people. If ordinary people do not pay two taxes, the court will not suffer much loss. As long as the two taxes are guaranteed to be collected by those big households, the court will not lose much. The most important thing is that the two taxes were unanimously complained by everyone in the world, but now, the vast majority of the people in the world are supported.

Although he personally rejected Li Chao’s suggestion of the Baimu Trial Point, even now, he did it right.

This is one time, another time.

The original purpose was to implement the new law of two taxes. If it was not levied on the people, it might not be implemented from the beginning.

Now that it has been implemented, it has begun to modify it and no longer imposes two taxes on ordinary people. The two tax law has been implemented, and it is just an adjustment at this time.

The prince asked officials to give opinions on the new law, but in fact, this is the most procrastinating way. There are so many officials in the world, how much time will it take when they all report the memorials. And how much time will it take when the court has read all the memorials of these officials?

It takes at least a few months, or even more than half a year.

"I don't know how Li Chao is doing now?" Li Shimin said with a smile. The performance of the prince's regent was much beyond his expectations. While he was proud of the prince, he was also very grateful to Li Chao. Without Li Chao, he would not be as outstanding as the prince today.

"Li Xiang can defeat 20,000 Goguryeo cavalry head-on with 20,000 volunteer soldiers and 10,000 five-person soldiers, which is enough to prove Li Xiang's superb ability to command troops. The news sent back by the Six Gates that Li Xiang has continued to pursue Goguryeo people. I believe that Li Xiang will definitely defeat Goguryeo people and may be able to wipe them out in the pass."

Li Shimin smiled, "It is enough that Li Chao can drive the Goguryeo people away."

It is thousands of miles away in the north.

East of Pingzhou.

In front of Yuguan, Yuhe.

During the Sui Dynasty, Pingzhou belonged to Beiping County, while Liaoxi belonged to Liucheng County. Yuguan is the border pass between the two counties. Yuhe, west of Yuguan, is the border pass between the two counties.

Now, Yuguan and Yuhe are basically the actual boundary between the Tang and Goguryeo. Going east of Yuguan, it is the western Liaoning that the Goguryeo actually stolen.

Night, deep feeling.

Yuguan, the door is closed and there are lights closed.

Under Yuguan City, the flames are like stars.

When the Goguryeo people came to kill, there were only 500 defenders and their families in Yuguan. Later, some soldiers were withdrawn from nearby and into the city, and some soldiers in the palace also entered the pass.

But the matter started in a hurry, and there were too few soldiers and horses who could barely guard the pass, but they could not intercept the Goguryeo people to advance westward.

At that time, the Goguryeo people only left 5,000 people to besiege Linyu Pass. At that time, Yuan Gai Suwen was preparing to make a storm and advance to sweep Youji. Therefore, there was no whole army besieging the city, but a part of them left to attack Linyu Pass. Then he led his troops directly westward, hoping to have a full bloom.

But the result was that he neither captured Pingzhou nor Jizhou, let alone Youzhou. The five thousand people he left behind did not capture Linyu Pass.

Five thousand Goguryeo people fought for more than a month, but the defenders were strong, and Linyu Pass was indeed quite strong and could not be captured for a long time.

Linyu Pass was actually not small. When Yang Guang fought in the east, he built a forward base here and built a Linyu Palace in Guanli as his palace.

I have stayed in Guanli.

Therefore, this Guancheng is indeed quite strong and large, but in winter, the Yu River is frozen and there is no danger.

Yuhexi.

Yuchi Gong took his three thousand cavalry and rushed all the way to the sky at night, and finally arrived in front of Yuan Gaisuwen.

"Yu Pass is still falling!"

Looking at Guan Cheng, a smile appeared on Yuchi Gong's tired face.

The task Li Chao gave him was very clear, and he was here to block Yuan Gaisuwen.

With three thousand people, more than 30,000 Goguryeo people were to be blocked from returning to the east. The most important point was that they had to rely on Linyu Pass as a support and the assistance of the Tang army in the relevant village.

Otherwise, what will they stop them?

It would be different if there is Linyu Pass.

However, although Linyu Pass has not been lost, the fires at the tents under the pass also show that there are quite a few Goguryeo people under the pass.

"Grandmaster, are you waiting for dawn to attack?" Yuchi Baolin asked.

After several days of rushing on the road, the cavalry were also exhausted. It was not a wise move to attack the enemy camp with three thousand tired cavalry.

Of course, Yuchi Gong also knew what his son was considering.

To be honest, of course, it is a night off and it is better to attack tomorrow morning.

However, the current situation cannot be like this.

He looked at the sky and found the familiar stars.

It's midnight now, and it's still early in the morning.

“There will be heavy fog tomorrow morning.”

"Dad, you can still see the celestial phenomena."

"How can a general not know the time and geography?" Yuchi Gong said coldly.

Yuchi Baolin lowered her head and thought to herself, you are also a scheming man. How much do you know about astronomy and geography, but he dare not say this.

Yuchi Gong pondered for a while.

"Let everyone get off the horse and rest for an hour, and after an hour, we will attack."

"Dad, it wasn't dawn at that time."

"It's just before dawn, when it's dawn, the Goguryeo people under the city will get up."

Yuchi Gong was preparing to launch a raid. The raid before dawn. At that time, the Goguryeo Army was familiar with it and was the time when the barracks were at its lowest vigilance. In addition, there would be heavy fog in the morning, which would be of great help to the raid.

"yes!"

Yuchi Baolin responded and turned around and left.

An hour was short, and the cavalry had no time to sleep, so they could only drink horses and eat some dry food on their own, and take turns taking a nap.

"Wake up, get up."

As time came, the officers woke up their subordinates.

The soldiers woke up with red eyes.

"Come on, it's time."
