Chapter 29: Convincing Li Er

Li Ke argued and said: "If Erchen wants to reform, it is to make the people rich and make the people proud of being my Tang people." ”

Li Er said unconvincedly: "Then you can tell me more and let me listen." ”

Li Ke said: "Heavy industry, heavy agriculture, heavy business, restore the contention of a hundred schools, and eradicate the noble family." ”

Li Er glanced at Li Ke and said angrily: "If my father does this, tomorrow, this Jiangshan Sheji will no longer be surnamed Li." ”

Li Ke said: "Erchen is willing to be the vanguard and try this method in the fiefdom. The Emperor can determine whether this law is feasible according to the changes in the fiefdom after the implementation of the new law. ”

Li Ke took a breath of relief and continued: "Erchen knows very well that every time he changes the law, it will be a river of blood, and in the eyes of the family, Erchen will be the merchant of Qin, a thorn in their eyes, a thorn in their flesh. But for the sake of the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty and the eternal prosperity of the country, my sons are willing to risk death to give it a try. Even if Erchen fails, there is still a father behind Erchen, and Erchen is not a big brother, and it has no impact on my Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin heard Li Ke's whimsical thoughts, his heart was difficult to calm down, if the person in front of him was not his son, not only ten years old, Li Shimin didn't know if he would execute the person in front of him.

Li Er said: "But you are my son after all. ”

It seems that if you want to achieve your goal, it is still as difficult as the sky! Looking at the sword hanging above his head, Li Ke still made up his mind to leave Chang'an City.

Li Ke suddenly rolled his eyes and thought about it.

"Father, the new policy advocated by the sons is the further implementation of your Zhenguan's rule, and the sons have such ideas because of your policies." Li Ke slapped his ass and flickered

Li Er heard Li Ke say that the new deal was a further implementation of Zhenguan's rule, and he showed curiosity.

Li Ke, who always paid attention to Li Er's expression, did not dare to have a trace of delay and continued: "First, father, you said that you are open to the way of speech, and you can humbly accept advice, but you can only speak widely to the people of the level of the imperial historian, if you are like the people of the dawn of the world, how can you let your father hear their minds, there are a few doctors like Wei Zheng in the court, most of the imperial history, there are whitewashed peace, avoiding the important and light, and there are even more of them, and it is not a few doctors, as a high-ranking official, They don't go to the people, all the information is hearsay, or the remarks made are how to criticize an emperor for not taking the path of saints, not taking the road that suits their hearts, and those who do not follow their path are dissidents, and will be oppressed and suppressed, and in the back, interests will drive them to stand on the same front, and at that time, the emperor will not hear the voice of the people, but the voice of the interests of the imperial historian, what is good for them, the emperor can hear, and what is unfavorable to them, the emperor does not want to hear a little. His tone became heavy.

Li Er's heart shook when he heard this, and Li Er agreed very much with Li Ke's words. Because he also realized that these problems are an inevitable trend, that is, there is no good solution.

Li Er said solemnly: "Ke'er has a solution? ”

There was a hint of inquiry and a hint of eagerness in the words, in Li Er's eyes, this was more important than Goguryeo, because it was related to the inheritance of the national honor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke took a sip of water and continued: "In response to this strategy, Erchen is going to set up a newspaper. ”

Li Er asked in surprise: "Newspaper, what is the newspaper that can solve such a problem." ”

Li Ke returned: "Yes, Erchen is going to set up an official newspaper and a people's newspaper to solve this problem. ”

"The official newspaper, as the name suggests, is a newspaper run by the government."

"One: In this official report, there will be important instructions and will of my Supreme Commander of the Tang Dynasty, that is, your father, which will improve your status in the hearts of the people and increase the people's recognition of you."

"Second, the official newspaper will include important things that the government will do on this day in the area under its jurisdiction, which will improve the efficiency of officials and greatly reduce the problem of official corruption."

"Third, the official newspaper will publish the results and solutions of the handling of important matters in the area under its jurisdiction and in the people's newspaper. This will increase the people's attention to the official newspaper and improve the efficiency and fairness of officials in handling problems. ”

"And the people's newspaper is run by the businessmen or ordinary people in various places, and they organize their own organizations."

"In the people's newspaper, there will be trivial matters of the people, happy news, or evaluation of the government, or evaluation of the emperor, or evaluation of a certain official, etc., and there are major events in the area."

Li Ke explained his thoughts to Li Er one by one.

Li Er looked at the gushing and energetic Li Ke and asked: "How can we ensure that these two newspapers are not controlled by officials, and that the non-governmental organizations are established on their own, and they will not be controlled by people with intentions, or cause a popular rebellion?" ”

Li Ke said after a pause: "First, if the people or businessmen organize to apply for a civil newspaper, they must go to the government for the record, and the person who declares it usually has no bad deeds, and must show the money that the agency needs to spend to ensure that there will be no fraud gang." The government will determine its personnel and organization according to its financial resources and the region in which it is located. ”

Second, the above two institutions are operated independently, and the personnel are managed by the higher-level newspaper, and the government has no right to manage it, only the authority to record and review and handle it, and the official newspaper is organized by the higher-level official newspaper, and the local government organizes and distributes the required funds. The managers of the highest-ranking official newspapers are designated by the emperor, and the managers of the highest-ranking people's newspapers are collectively voted by the managers of the local people's newspapers, and the people's newspapers are elected once every five years, and in the last month of the fifth year, each newspaper writes the names and places of origin of the people it wants to elect under the headlines of the newspapers it distributes, and finally the highest-level newspapers of the people's newspapers uniformly sort out the number of votes, and specially print and distribute the details of the votes to the newspapers, and finally the person with the highest number of votes is determined to be the manager of the highest-level people's newspapers. The highest-ranking newspaper administrator cannot be re-elected by the same Tao or the same person. The above measures have greatly eliminated the collusion of officials with the newspapers."

After listening, Li Shimin looked at Li Ke for a long time and couldn't speak, is this my son?

This is a demon! It is unbelievable that he came up with such a sound management system and supervision method alone.

Li Ke looked at Li Er, who was aroused by himself step by step, and was ecstatic in his heart

Unconsciously, it was time for lunch, and neither Li Er nor Li Ke noticed the passage of time, until their stomachs raised the banner of protest there.

After hastily finishing lunch, Li Ke hurriedly said his second point of view to Li Er.

"My father wants to use people only to find talent, but where does it come from, all the books in the world are mastered, and the common people have no books to read, and they have no money to read. That's why it will create a situation of flowing water and a thousand-year-old family. ”

"Even if the five surnames and seven hopes are completely eradicated by the father, it cannot solve the problem of book monopoly and the problem of hunger and food of the people, and over time, a new five surnames and seven hopes will appear."

"My father wants to use only talents, and there are only a handful of people among the people, and they still have to be constrained by the family.

Li Shimin looked at the son in front of him with satisfaction, in Li Er's eyes, Li Ke was not a yellow-haired boy.

It is a capable minister who can be compared with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others! Look at the problem with a vicious eye, and do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.

"Now that Erchen has papermaking and movable type printing, books are no longer a problem, and it is all right in front of him to get rid of the constraints of the family."

Li Ke saw that Li Er did not interrupt himself, and continued: "With books, we will set up schools in each county, and temporarily do five years of educational tasks, respectively, Chinese studies, etiquette, Tang law, art of war, martial arts, arithmetic, etc., after the national strength is stronger in the future, after nine years of higher educational tasks, students who have completed their studies in the academy will take the graduation examination, and through the examination to find out what industry they are suitable for." ”

"Start from the grassroots level first, and those with outstanding achievements will be promoted, and they will be promoted in order of political performance."

"To sum up, these points need to be based on the wealth of the people, if the people are not hungry and clothed, how can they study with peace of mind and care about national affairs."

Li Er looked at Li Ke with a look of approval and said, "That's right! This is the most important thing, if the people can't eat enough, how can they have the heart to think about other things, how can the emperor solve such a problem. ”

Li Ke said in an orderly manner: "Control the land, now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, there has been no land annexation, and the resistance to reform will become smaller. ”

Li Er said movingly: "The army is controlled, and the land is nationalized, which will make my Tang Dynasty move!" ”

Li Ke followed closely and said: "Father, here the minister borrowed a sword from his father, all reforms are destined to be bloody, as long as there is still a father in the rear, all reactionaries are paper tigers, not to mention that this reform is only implemented in my Yizhou, and no changes are made in other places, so even if I move Yizhou, the emperor can't hold it down, and my father can also calm down the movement in a short time, after all, it is not the reform advocated by your father, all the spearheads are pointed at me." ”

Hearing this, Li Er looked at Li Ke worriedly, this immature shoulder can carry such a burden, and Li Ke, who is on the cusp of the storm, can withstand the verbal criticism of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

said: "Emperor, I'm afraid that the reform has just begun, and the ministers of the court and the central government will rebel en masse, and the reform of the emperor can only end without a problem, and give up halfway!" ”

Li Ke saw the worried Lao Li and said: "Father, as long as you don't mess up and trust your sons, your sons will be able to implement the reform to the end, and within three years, I will see the results of the reform, and at that time, my father will have an excuse to calm down the people." ”

Li Er said in confusion: "My father is not chaotic, what is the explanation?" ”

Li Ke replied: "The father can turn a blind eye and punish big and small punishments, such as fines, grounding, etc., as long as he does not send his sons to prison or recall them to Chang'an, his sons can go all out to implement the reform to the end." ”

In fact, there is another sentence at the back, the general will be outside, and the king's order will be affected and will not be accepted, Li Ke did not dare to say it.

As for reforming, we must first reform the army, and I am even more afraid that Li Er will become suspicious and the gains will outweigh the losses.

As for the Zhenguan Law and the rectification of the rule of officials, Li Ke did not elaborate further, his goal has been achieved, and it would be unbelievable to say it, don't add to the whole snake in the end.

After listening to Li Ke's words, Li Er's heart moved, this reform is indeed more thorough than his own.

In case of success, the benefits for Datang are not only now, but also in the long-term future.

And failure, as my son said, is within the scope of control.

After thinking for a moment, Li Er remembered that he had told Li Yuan at that time that if he gave him a few years, he would definitely capture the captured Jieli Khan and sacrifice it to Chang'an.
