Chapter 478: Dreams on Heaven and Earth (2)

Liu Rengui replied: "Your Highness, this is okay, and we will leave it to the queen for handling. We just happened to get out and hand the case over to Xianggong Pei to take over."

Li Wei thought about it and immediately understood.

Growing up in recent years has been very important. Otherwise, it would be difficult to talk to these great people. Don’t let yourself speak, but you may not be able to understand it. You can’t ask everything, can you explain it clearly. You can ask once, and it’s okay to ask again. If you ask everything, what will the minister think?

Oh, the prince has this IQ. Will he still support this idea with all his strength?

Liu Rengui means that since Wu Zetian compromises, the prince should also express it. How to express it? He can only hand over the Ming Chongyan case file to Wu Zetian. How to cover it up is Wu Zetian's responsibility. Anyway, this is also what Wu Zetian is good at. First, it is to cover up the ugliness for the royal family, and second, it is to shirk the prince.

Wu Zetian can shirk the prince or not, but will she ignore the prince's feelings? If it were someone else, she might deal with it carelessly, but who is Wu Zetian? How could she not think of this festival? Therefore, she will inevitably bring the city gate and the five hundred soldiers stationed outside the East Palace for the prince to find a reason. No matter what the reason is, she will not look for it.

After all, if the matter has passed one or half a year, it will be fine if it has passed. But within one or two months, Liu Rengui and the others have known the truth, and they can still spread the matter, which will cause noise. Of course, if everyone is satisfied, there is no need to spread the matter, so as not to be killed.

The final result is that you will definitely lie. Now the judge is Zhu Jingze, Di Renjie assisted and Liu Rengui supported him. There is no need to tell this lie, so Pei Yan will deal with it. Isn’t it aloof? It depends on how you are aloof! And if you are left to Pei Yan for interrogation, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi are relieved, and Pei Yan will take over it.

Zhu Jingze, an honest man, reacted and suddenly started to laugh.

Liu Rengui said again: "The case has been tried. Except for some fragmentary clues and clues from Xijing, which are still being interrogated. Ming Chongyan was not arrested, basically all the evidence was raised. Since the two priests took the initiative to abdicate, we went to Shangyang Palace together and handed over these files to the two priests."

This is another cover for the prince. After all, the edict has not been issued. Once it is issued, it is the emperor and there is no need to be so cautious. However, the queen took the initiative to come to the Eastern Palace three times. Tomorrow morning, the prince must go to Shangyang Palace in person.

This is the last and most critical step.

The prince went to show his goodwill. He could not bring his heavy armor, but what if something happened?

Don't say no.

Such a major political change can happen. Moreover, it is difficult for outsiders to know the truth. What is recorded in history may not be true. The people are even more tragic in any era and will never be able to see the truth.

With several people following you, you can go to Shangyang Palace openly.

Liu Rengui is usually very sleek, but this time he has made a sacrifice for the prince. However, even if the two priests have no major mistakes, they will not dare to demote them at will. If so, the prince will also have no authorization for officials under the fourth rank, and everyone will fight against each other. The country is in chaos.

Anyway, the mark of the prince's core has been posted, and at this time, I have to let go!

"Thank you," Li Wei said.

"Don't thank you, this is my duty. If the prince does not do well, I will also write a letter to a strong advice."

"Gou welcomes you. If you don't do well in the future... Gu does not do well, as long as you don't want to do your own selfishness, even if you pull the robe and forcefully advise like Wei Zheng, Gu will be happy."

"Your Highness," the ministers are not evil in character. Why do they support the prince so much? Isn't they just want to have a good emperor in the future? After hearing this, they all felt aroused.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing that you should think about."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, once you ascend the throne, you must have a political achievement that you can achieve."

This is because there are the benefits of dealing with major government powers. Otherwise, the prince would not be able to do this outstanding political achievement. After that, Liu Rengui looked at the prince with a temptation. The prince still lacked many places, such as experience and means, which have been slightly better in recent years, but it is still a little weaker. Of course, as a minister, you may be very happy to serve under such an emperor, but as a superior, you should be more tough in order to achieve more.

But the prince's wonderful ideas are beyond the reach of anyone in the world.

Let’s take a look at what the two canals brought? Not only the two canals themselves, but also the vast voyage, but no one valued the colonies. Seeing that the people were not interested, Li Wei also gave up his idea. But what is the tariff in the sea city in a year? How much tax has it been driven? Then there is gunpowder, opening the canal, which is used by the state, firecrackers, festive, gunpowder packs, and military use. For example, when I went to Nanzhao, the catapult came out. When I went to Qinghai, I also added a Zampo to the Tang Dynasty (Is this considered the Tang Dynasty?).

I care about the drought, changes in farming methods, and increased yields. A new plow appeared. I bought a few pieces of paper for my second brother. I thought it was expensive and the bamboo paper came out.

To put it bluntly, it is like the stars that come down from heaven as the people say.

Li Wei was in a little trouble. How much knowledge can he remember? Even if he could make a small invention, this is the political achievement of ascending the throne, and he can't make any move.

He said hesitantly: "Liu Qing, our dynasty has many disadvantages. For example, the military system of the government gradually became corrupt, but Gu did not come up with any way to replace it. It was just that there would be too many benefits to offend. Once Gu ascended the throne, his roots would be unstable and it would be inconvenient to implement reforms."

"That's right." Li Yiyan said. He would rather not act than offend too many powerful people at this time.

"There are also countries that are not rich. Although hiding wealth among the people is the basis of governing the country, the treasury is too empty and not beautiful."

Several people still did not pay attention to this point, thinking that it had been very good in recent years. If it weren't for the huge cost of the two canals and the endless disasters, the national treasury would have been like the time of Wenjing in the Western Han Dynasty, and the money and grain were in full swing. Li Wei did not say much. If he had said that there was a dynasty later, the area was less than half of the Tang Dynasty, and the highest annual tax revenue reached over 160 million guan, these people would never believe it.

Skip.

Counting down again is also very important. If you count it today, it will be the foundation for governing the country in the future. The more you count, the more you count, the more you can admire these officials.

"The powerful have severe annexed, the rich have become richer, and the poor have become poorer. The polarization is too serious, which is not conducive to national stability."

Several people frowned, but many people paid attention to it, but it was even more difficult to solve.

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, it facilitated the stability of the country and formulated a system of renting and mediocre renting. The tax was levied by the Ding system, and the states and counties severely restricted the people. For example, this time, the migration of the people went to Qinghai. This relocation was a real increase of several directly-level prefectures and counties to our Tang Dynasty, and it protected the security of Xijing. However, the officials of each prefecture and county made some obstructions in different weights. Moreover, the land of each prefecture and county were different, so the fewer land had to bring land to invest in large households. The stronger the large households, the national interests were damaged."

Another frown was a difficult problem, and even if it could be solved, it was not the time.

But from beginning to end, there was no mention of the edge.

If you expand, there will be no strong country's internal affairs support, no more people and money, you will not be able to occupy it even if you open a sect. Li Wei also likes to expand his territory, but this is not the way to expand his territory. But if you say it out, let these people go back and think about it, these topics are very big and require everyone's wisdom.

He also said: "In fact, the most important thing is that the number of households exempt from taxes is too heavy."

This is the real foundation.

Why did the wealthy families recklessly annex? Because they did not pay taxes, they harvested more in the good times, and paid high prices for grain, annexed land, and collected tenant farmers' tribes. Later, it was said that the Tang Dynasty had a population of 140 million at most, which was not right. When the Tang Dynasty arrived in Tianbao, the maximum number of the Ministry of Households was only about 60,000, but the actual population was nearly 90,000. These 30 million people were fugitives, and the other was the population and divisions hidden by the wealthy families. In the early Tang Dynasty, the proportion of the population counted by the Ministry of Households to these missing people was not heavy, and now it was only 3 to 1, and later it became more and more, and by Tianbao it reached 2 to 1. If it continues, there would be no Anshi Rebellion, there would be Huang Chao Rebellion.

Without taxation, the scale of enclosures among large households will be severely reduced.

Not only the wealthy families, but also the monks and nuns who were exempt from taxes. There were also many people in the Tang Dynasty, with an average of more than 200,000. These temples occupy a large number of monks and Taoists, but also occupy a large amount of land. So Li Wei said that it is the foundation.

Di Renjie said: "Your Highness, you are right, but this is even more difficult to move."

"Gu is not talking about this. I will not move at present, and I will not force myself to act in the future. The benefits involved are too great. But it can be relieved. If the imperial court takes out a lot of funds every year, redeems the troops from wealthy families, and then immigrate. For example, in Qinghai, there are 60,000 to 70,000 hectares of cultivated land that can be cultivated. If Dafeichuan and other places are recovered in the future, tens of thousands of hectares of cultivated land can be moved out. This can accommodate more people to come to farm. In the future, there may be Anxi and Liaodong."

This is a good idea.

The population transactions in the Tang Dynasty were very prosperous, and the tribes were sold like livestock. At that time, Di Hui and Di Hao had a sky-high price in brothels, which was a special case. An ordinary strong tribe was worth less than twenty yuan, and it was less expensive than a horse. Women, young and old, were even cheaper.

If you withdraw two million yuan a year, you can redeem more than one million divisions. If you solve these divisions, you can become a formal national household, with taxes to collect, military sources to collect, and balance the uneven situation of the rich and poor.

As long as there are a few years of progress, the national sect will become less and less, and the intensification of contradictions will ease. However, Li Yiyan said hesitantly: "Your Highness, this year may not work, the national treasury is tight."

"Gu also knows, but since Liu Xiang said that, Gu even remembered something. A few days ago, the Japanese envoy, the riverside beast, asked Gu to send troops to Silla for them."

"Your Highness, this is even more ineffective," Zhu Jingze persuaded hurriedly.

Of course, I am not a fool either. If I help the Japanese fight, will I get into the head?

He couldn't say it, and no one believed it. He said: "I didn't mean that. They were wronged and asked them to find it back by themselves. However, since I asked me for help from me, I had to help me. Once I ascend the throne, I would summon the ministers to discuss the matter. I sent these envoys back to Japan, and then sold our Tang ships and weapons to them, and supported them to attack Silla. If Silla also sent envoys to ask our Tang Dynasty, I would agree, but they performed badly and needed to spend money to buy..."

Several people were stunned, and then they all laughed.

That is, selling arms, no one has done this officially. But after saying this, everyone understands. The Tang Dynasty is the most affordable for fighting. In the end, the people of the two countries were killed or injured, and the economy was over, and they would inevitably be disabled. At that time, the Tang Dynasty wanted to conquer it, and it would be easier.

"This money can be taken out and the division can be redeemed, which is also considered good governance. What do you think?"

It will not harm the interests of any wealthy family. Although it is very strange, it is indeed a good idea. Several people laughed with sarcastic eyes, and after laughing, they said, "Hey, your highness has a good idea."

I am also happy. Isn’t what I want? Isn’t it that strange ideas that are rare in the world like Your Highness?

It also reduces the difficulty for conquering Silla in the future.

As the head of the prince ascended the throne, it is enough. Of course, it will not be so clear at that time, so it should be more tactful.

After the discussion, Zhu Jingze sent someone to Dali Temple to get the file and said, "Your Highness, let's go to Shangyang Palace."

This time, the prince was one step closer to the throne!
Chapter completed!
