Li An's various suggestions to weaken the rights of the border towns were all adopted by Li Longji and quickly implemented, so as to prevent the border towns from becoming too big and threatening the central power of the Tang Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And the core content of weakening the envoys of the border towns is to deprive them of other privileges other than the military, so that they have to accept the support of the imperial court all the time, so that they naturally have no capital to rebel.

In addition, the more and more perfect the supervisory body, the better, after all, too much trust in one person will lead to authoritarianism.

Governing the country is not difficult, but it is not easy, since ancient times, the emperor is known as a lonely person, the only person who can be trusted is himself, trusting civil officials will mislead the country, trusting the military will cause rebellion, trusting the eunuch will cause the eunuch's dictatorship, trusting relatives will also be usurped, even their own women can not be trusted, it is not good to make a female emperor, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty is an example.

However, if we particularly distrust the generals and prevent them from rebelling and setting up containment officials, it will cause the generals to be tied to their hands and feet in battle, which will lead to the defeat of foreign wars and even seriously damage the strength of the country.

For this reason, Li An's suggestion was only to send people to supervise the envoys of the border towns, and did not give these supervisory bodies any rights, so that they could not interfere with the leading troops of the envoys of the towns, but only supervised and managed them in general, so as to prevent the envoys of the border towns from doing inappropriate things, such as suddenly increasing the number of troops for no reason, changing the generals on a large scale, and other various actions before the rebellion.

In addition, there is also the fact that the envoys of the border towns will do some illegal things, which must also be put an end to, and the Jedi cannot allow this to happen.

Specifically, the weakening of the border towns was something to be done by the imperial court, and Ang Lee's focus was still on developing more and better machinery to promote the industrialization of the Tang Empire.

With the railway extending in all directions, commerce has become extremely prosperous, especially the node of the railway line in the inner city of Chang'an, which has gathered more and more merchants, and the east and west cities have been completely unable to meet the demand, and they are crowded every day, and the imperial court needs to send troops to maintain order to barely maintain.

In addition, the commerce of important cities such as Luoyang City, Yumen Pass, and Zhongshou City has also expanded several times, and for this reason, the housing prices in these cities have increased a lot, and even the price of renting has increased many times, so that many people who have not bought a house cannot afford to buy a house.

All this was expected by Li An, for this reason, when he first started laying the railway, Li An used the very abundant funds on hand to buy a lot of cheap real estate, especially in the relatively remote places in the south of the city, Li An bought a number of houses, these houses except for the initial residence temporarily closed, the rest of the houses bought later, all of them were rented out, and almost all of them were rented to merchants in the Western Regions, so that there was a lot of income every month.

Of course, Ang Lee is not a money fan, and he doesn't have a big thirst for money, just to get some sense of accomplishment and a sense of accomplishment in earning money.

And as there are more and more of his wives, Ang Lee feels that he can't let them all be idle at home, after all, boredom is a very painful thing, and it is a good choice for them to manage the rent.

Of course, unlike Ang Lee's sense of achievement, the relevant officials of Datang are in a hurry, especially the officials in charge of market operations, many of them are worried and can't sleep, they are worried about how to solve the congestion in the east and west markets every day, and now, in order to maintain the operation of these two commercial centers, these officials are working overtime every day to maintain order, and many old and not very good officials are tired and lying in bed without moving.

These officials have also thought of some solutions, but because there are too many interests involved, as well as problems related to the security of the city, it is really not easy to solve.

The continuous congestion of the commercial center gradually led to the congestion of the entire Chang'an City, many important streets were blocked, and even many officials were late because of road congestion.

The problem of congestion, which has been getting more and more serious for a long time, has naturally attracted special attention from the Tang Dynasty, and officials at all levels are discussing how to deal with this increasingly serious congestion problem.

Some officials proposed to establish a new southern market in the south of the city to dilute the congestion pressure in the east and west markets, and some officials proposed to move some industries outside the city to reduce the pressure inside the city, and some suggested raising the threshold for entering the market, so that merchants in the east and west markets could increase their taxes, so that merchants who could not stand the pressure left immediately, so as to reduce the pressure on business.

However, due to the fact that there were too many interests involved, the various proposals put forward by these officials could not be adopted, and even many ministers were red-faced and ran to the emperor to continue the dispute.

And the problem of interests is the most difficult problem to solve, for example, some of the nobles represented by the ministers behind the industry are concentrated in the east and west markets, you propose to build a south market, of course he will strongly oppose it, they must hope to take other methods, for example, increase the rent or something, so that they can earn more.

For many nobles whose industries are in the south of the city, they hope to establish a new market in the south of the city, so that their interests can be guaranteed.

Therefore, this is a dead knot, and the two sides will not compromise for their own interests, unless the emperor has already issued an order, they will stop a little.

How to solve the commercial problem has now become a big problem, which plagues the sustainable development of the Tang Dynasty and seriously restricts the development of Chang'an City, so immediately solving this problem has become the top priority of the imperial court.

Since the ministers below have never been able to reach a consensus, it is natural that they will make trouble with the emperor next.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji is naturally very happy about the rapid development of commerce, but he is also quite a headache for the continuous traffic congestion.

After discovering that the traffic congestion in the city, especially in the east and west cities, was extremely serious, it was very timely for the ministers to discuss it in order to find a good solution.

However, Li Longji was extremely disappointed by the fact that these ministers were fighting for the interests they represented, and the ideas they put forward were all bad ideas that were not very feasible and could not solve the problems they were currently facing.

When the ministers were arguing in the main hall, Li Longji was so angry that he almost covered his ears, what these guys said seemed to be very reasonable, but it seemed that they could not solve the fundamental problem, they could only be slightly alleviated, and there were many measures, which would definitely arouse public resentment, and it was not advisable at all, just like the urban congestion in later generations, the officials and lords, all they could think of was to increase the congestion fee, increase the parking fee, and use the price lever to solve the congestion, and the result of the solution was more and more congestion, and the cost of living of the people was getting higher and higher.

This is also a kind of lazy government! As soon as Chrysostom opened, it was easier and more comfortable for the people to pay for it, and it was easier to use precious brain cells to think about better countermeasures.

Li Longji was very dissatisfied with the ministers, and walked away angrily, so that the ministers could slowly quarrel with each other in the hall! He's going back to rest.

"What about the concubine? Why not there? ”

Li Longji was angry, the ministers were angry with him, and after returning to the dormitory, Yang Yuhuan was not there, didn't he deliberately go against her?

"Your Majesty, the concubine has gone out for a while, and she will be back soon."

"San Lang, what's wrong, who made you angry like this?"

Yang Yuhuan had just run to change Shu Bao, and when he heard Li Longji's voice, he hurriedly ran over.

"It's all a bunch of rice buckets, I'm angry."

Li Longji was still angry, and it was obvious that his anger had not subsided.

"San Lang, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry and break the dragon body."

Yang Yuhuan gently lay on Li Longji's body, using her soft and warm body to comfort Li Longji's irritable heart.

Comforted by Yang Yuhuan's fleshy body, Li Longji let out a long breath, took Yang Yuhuan in his arms, and gently caressed Yang Yuhuan's delicate body with his old palm.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was old, there was a saying that I could go without food for three days, but I could not go without a woman for a day, which meant that the emperor's demand for women was even greater than the need for food.

When Li Longji was young, he was a handsome young man who was very popular with women, but now that he is old, he is still not old, and he still has a very big demand for women, especially a fat girl like Yang Yuhuan, who is the most in line with Li Longji's wishes.

"Hey! These ministers really don't let me worry! I put them in charge of solving the congestion problem in the east and west markets of Chang'an City, and as a result, these guys were noisy in the main hall, and all they came up with were bad ideas, and my head still hurts? ”

Li Longji frowned and sighed while stroking Yang Yuhuan's delicate jade body.

"San Lang, I heard that Li Shilang has been busy in the R&D center and hasn't entered the palace for more than half a month, why don't you ask Li Shilang's opinion? Besides, Chang'an City is now congested like this, and it is not all his reason, of course, he should come up with a way. ”

Yang Yuhuan seemed to blame Li An on the surface, but in fact, she was saying the opposite, she was praising Li An's ability to make the business of the Tang Dynasty develop so rapidly.

"Ang Lee, yes! Why did I forget him, I will pass him into the palace to see if he has any better way. ”

Li Longji was suddenly happy in his heart, and after making his will, he pressed Yang Yuhuan in his arms on the bed.

With the continuous development of commerce and the continuous gathering of merchants from all over the world, Chang'an City has become more and more prosperous and congested, which has of course attracted enough attention from Li An.

Although Li An is busy in the R&D center every day, as if he is indifferent to the various situations that occur in the capital, in fact, Li An is very concerned about any situation that happens in the capital, especially the problem of congestion in the city, Li An has always attached great importance to it, and according to the current situation of Chang'an City and the overall trend in the future, he has been thinking about various countermeasures, and constantly revising and improving them to achieve perfection.

Through continuous thinking and improvement, Ang Lee already has a set of relatively clear ideas in his mind, as long as he follows Ang Lee's ideas, it can completely solve the current congestion problem in Chang'an City, and even further solve the greater congestion problem that may be encountered in the future.

It's just that Li An has been busy, and there are too many things in the R&D center that he needs to deal with, so he has not found time to go to the palace and tell Li Longji the solution strategy.

"Li Shilang, Your Majesty summons you to enter the palace."

Li An was thinking about when to find time to dedicate the solution to Li Longji, but as a result, Li Longji suddenly sent a eunuch to pass him into the palace.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty to announce my entry into the palace, is there any important period?"

"Little slave doesn't know, but Your Majesty is not in a good mood today, Li Shilang should be careful when he speaks."

The little eunuch reminded with concern.

"If you're in a bad mood, who upset Your Majesty?"

The little eunuch looked around and whispered, "I heard that Your Majesty is angry because of the congestion in the capital, and the opinions put forward by the ministers are not satisfactory to Your Majesty, and besides, the ministers are still fighting over each other, which makes Your Majesty even more angry. ”

"Okay, I see, thank you."

When Li An heard this, he already knew that the emperor announced that he entered the palace in order to ask about the congestion in the capital, and Li An was quite satisfied with the method he came up with, but he didn't know what the emperor would think, after all, this era is different from the era of later generations, how to persuade people in this era to adapt to the life of later generations is a big problem, but many of the current policies and behaviors of Datang will indeed seriously restrict the sustainable development of commerce, such as the current situation, that is, the continued prosperity of commerce is limited by the hardware conditions of the cityIt must be changed as soon as possible, otherwise, the development of business is bound to stagnate.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

Ang Lee saluted Li Longji.

Li Longji asked Li An to calm down, and single-handedly explained the actual situation of the increasing congestion in the capital to Li An, and asked Li An for advice on the solution.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult to solve, but I just don't know if Your Majesty is willing to believe Weichen."

Ang Lee's method is indeed very good, and it is a successful experience for later generations, but I am afraid that Li Longji is too conservative to accept this method, so it will not be easy to do.

"What can Li Shilang do, but it doesn't hurt to say it?"

Li Longji now trusts Ang Lee very much, and he believes that the solution that Ang Lee can say is definitely better than the suggestions put forward by those ministers, this is an intuition, and it is also the huge prestige formed by Ang Lee's continuous miracles, so that when Li Longji thinks of Ang Lee, he unconsciously feels that things have a spectrum.
