"In business, the lower officials can order the switch to be released, so that all kinds of goods gathered in Hedong can enter Jinyang, so as to alleviate the suffering of the people of Jinyang; In the official ---" As he spoke, Lu Zhaolin took out a letter from his arms and handed it to both hands. When Chai Shao saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to take it from Lu Zhaolin's hand, looked at the cover, and saw that the name of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was written on it, so he hurriedly presented it to Li Yuan, who was sitting on the steps.
"This letter is written by my lord himself, and it will be handed over to the lower officials to bring to Tang Gong to read in person." Lu Zhaolin explained.
Li Yuan took the letter, opened it and read it. The hundreds of officials under the rank were also whispering and speculating at this time.
After a long time, I saw Li Yuan slowly fold the letter in his hand and put it on the table, raised his head with a heavy face and said: "The things mentioned in the book of King Chitose of Jin are allowed to be thought about, and in order to appease the panic of the people in the city as soon as possible, I also asked Mr. Lu to open up the trade road first and let the Central Plains caravan enter my Jinyang." ”
"According to Tang Gong, when the official returned, he ordered the blockade of Jinyang to be lifted. In order to make an emergency, Xia Guan has prepared 50,000 catties of salt for the people of Jinyang in the army outside the city, and he also asked Tang Gong to send someone to get it, which has shown my lord's sincerity. ”
"Daozong, I ordered you to go out of the city immediately to contact the Jin army to transport salt, and there should be no delay."
"Yes, my lord, I will do it in the end." With that, Li Daozong turned around and left the house.
"Mr. Wen Wei, arrange for Mr. Lu to rest at the pavilion and be hospitable. What Mr. said in this book, Rong Bengong will reply in two days, and go to the post house to rest first! ”
"It's okay, the next official will wait for Tang Gong for two days, and the next official will leave." After Lu Zhaolin bowed his hand, he followed Neishi Dou Wei out of the council.
Seeing Lu Zhaolin leaving, Li Yuan on the seat couldn't help but sigh softly: "Alas! Although Bengong is the elder of this son, but his knowledge is far inferior to him, everything in the book is reasonable, and he can't refute it, but Bengong is unwilling! ”
"Tang Gong, what does King Chitose of Jin say in the book?" Pei Lin saw Li Yuan's strange expression, so he stepped forward and asked softly.
"Oh! Except for Xuanzhen, Yanbo, Daosheng, Maoyue, Sichang and Hongji, the rest of the princes are scattered! ”
The six people who stayed behind followed Li Yuan to the study in the back room, and after they were all seated, Li Yuan took out the letter from Yang Guang, the king of Jin, brought by Lu Zhaolin, and handed it to the six people present to circulate. These 5 people had different expressions after reading the letter, and some of them nodded secretly, such as Pei Lian; There are helpless sighs, such as Dou Kang; There are those who have a doubtful face, such as Wen Daya; There are stunned people, such as Chai Shao; The two people in charge of the army, Liu Hongji and Tang Jian, glanced at each other, looking panicked, happy and sad.
"All right, everybody. Yang Guang's letters have all been read, let's talk about their thoughts! It's okay to reply to Lu Zhaolin. ”
"Tang Gong, this King of Jin, oh! No, it's time for us to see him as the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui. This letter is not so much a letter of persuasion and peace, but judging from the items listed, it is better to say that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the placement of my Jinyang government affairs and military affairs has been mentioned in all aspects, and it is indeed a unique insight and far-reaching plan, which can be said to be a policy to rejuvenate the country and benefit the people, and it depends on whether I can accept it in Jinyang. Pei Lin said first, and his praise for the matters and solutions listed in the letter could be felt in his words, among which the King of Jin treated Li Yuan with both face and lining, which was reasonable.
"My lord, although the land reform and compensation for our scholars mentioned in the letter are not mentioned much, my Dou family can still accept them. I wonder what Mr. Yanbo thinks about this? Uncle Dou Kang clarified his views on behalf of the Dou family, and at the same time asked Wen Daya, the head of the Wen clan, who was also a member of the Jinyang clan.
Seeing Wen Daya stroking his beard, thoughtful, he suddenly heard his uncle Dou Kang mention his name, and he said without hurrying: "Hehe! The new emperor's statement of exchanging resources for the land of our family is very innovative, and the old man is just planning the benefits and losses. It seems that this new policy has benefited our family a lot, but it is inconvenient for us to say much about the arrangement of the lord, and I hope that the lord will think clearly. ”
"Hongji and Maoyue, do you have anything to say about the military reform mentioned in the letter?" Li Yuan asked the two henchmen in charge of Jinyang's military affairs.
"My lord, from a certain point of view, this military reform is a precedent of the Hou Luo Yi Department of Jingbian in Yanshan, which requires our army to retain a maximum of 100,000 horses, and the generals in the army belong to the imperial court, who are appointed and dismissed by the imperial court and retained, and receive military expenses and salaries from the imperial court. The whole army changed its uniforms, implemented the rank and grade system in the Jin army, and established the Northern Military Region under the imperial court to deal exclusively with the Turks. In this way, the status of my Jinyang army has only risen and not fallen, and the establishment is still there, but the lord retains the title of Duke of Tang, establishes the prince, and is hereditary and transferred to the capital as an official, this Jinyang Tang army exists in name only, and the army is no longer an army under the banner of the lord, which has a great impact on the lord. Liu Hongji said that for the high-ranking generals in the Tang army, being a general in the army of the Great Sui Dynasty is far stronger than being a general of a local warlord, but such a military reform has too much impact on his friend Tang Gong Li Yuan.
"Yes! Lord. Although it is clear in the book that the title of the lord duke is hereditary and the fief remains unchanged, after the implementation of land reform, this fief has become nominal, and in the final analysis, this title has become a virtual duke. It has little impact on us, and I hope that the lord will think clearly. Tang Jian got up and added.
"Sichang, do you have an opinion?"
"Father-in-law, the son-in-law is dull, this matter is related to the long-term family and the stakes are very important, and the son-in-law will explain it to the father-in-law after thinking clearly." Chai Shao's head was empty at this time, he was shocked by the placement of Li Yuan's family involved in the letter, the letter did not mention anything about the placement of Li Yuan's immediate family, but separately mentioned the recruitment of himself, if the father-in-law agreed, he could be called a step to the sky, from the local gate valve staff into the central decision-making body of the Great Sui as an official. This arrangement made Chai Shao confused, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Yang Guang, the king of Jin? Before thinking clearly, he didn't dare to speak easily.
"That's it! I will not persecute you. Alas! If this duke follows what the letter says, in fact, he will become a lot of princes in the capital, although he retains the fief, but he has to give up the jurisdiction of the fief land, and instead the imperial court will pay silver compensation every year. The amount has not yet been mentioned, but in fact it is equivalent to being cut down, and only the virtual lord is retained. Although the treatment is better than that of the Emperor of the Kingdom in the capital, there are many unanswered questions about this arrangement, and it needs to be pondered. As for the law of army and land reform, it is also acceptable. Originally, the princes were officials of the Great Sui, and the Tang Army was also the Great Sui army. Li Yuan got up and said with his hands behind his back.
"Duke Tang, the reality that I, Jinyang, am facing now, is no longer allowed to bargain with the new emperor of the Great Sui, if there is another war, it will not be a vicious battle between the princes and lords, not to mention defeat, we will really become a rebel. It's better to face the reality and think more about the profits. It is obviously unrealistic to go back to the past. Pei Lian, who has been a friend for many years, reminded Li Yuan earnestly.
"Hmmm! My father also knows this. In this way, the Turks suddenly invaded the south, and it seems that they helped my father-in-law once. Otherwise, Bengong would not even have room for bargaining this time. Li Yuan seemed to have figured out something after Pei Lian's thoughts, and couldn't help laughing at himself.
After sending away several of his subordinates, Li Yuan left behind his son-in-law Chai Shao. There was no reservation between Weng and his son-in-law, and Chai Shao said whatever he thought, although the coherence was still unclear, but he also said the key point.
"Sichang, if you accept the arrangement of the new emperor Yang Guang, this duke has two choices, one is to accept the new emperor's call, return to the capital with you, and be an official in the same palace; First, staying in Jinyang to accept the post of commander of the Northern Military Region, Ru was requisitioned back to Beijing to join the court as an official, and was an important staff member of Yang Guangji. At that time, my Li family was a courtier of the Great Sui, and his status was slightly reduced, but your future was limitless. ”
"Uncle Yue, as Pei Shibo said, Yang Yong has fallen, Yang Guang can return to Beijing at any time to ascend the throne as emperor, and I Jinyang must not be an enemy of Yang Guang. If there is no Turkic invasion of the south, my Jinyang will end up with Luoyang Wang Shichong sooner or later. The son-in-law has an idea, I don't know if to talk about it? ”
"Sichang, you and my son-in-law are not outsiders, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say something wrong."
"Uncle Yue, my son-in-law thinks that our fate is already like this, for the sake of Jiancheng and Shimin, to keep the status of the Li family in the Great Sui, of course, to let Yang Guang settle these two sons, it is okay to build it, and he can inherit the title of Duke of the country, but Shimin is talented and intelligent, and he should seek a future for him. It's better to ---."
"Why not as good as what?"
"It's better to let the people worship Yang Guang as a teacher and follow him, his achievements will be above his son-in-law, and maybe he can surpass his father-in-law."
"Oh? How could Si Chang have such an idea? That Yang Guang is extremely slippery, villain-like, how can my father hand over his son to him. ”
"Uncle Yue is angry, and it will not be too late for the son-in-law to finish speaking." Chai Shao saw that his proposal angered Li Yuan, Li Yuan turned his back and left himself a back, as if he didn't want to listen to what he was saying, but Chai Shao had already made up his mind and didn't care about it, so he continued: "My father-in-law has never contacted Yang Guang, but my son-in-law has confronted him several times, all of which have been calculated by him, but he is extremely treacherous. But this person's ability is far from what Yue Zhangzhang thinks, he is not very old, but he has the ability to govern the world, and the land reform policies of Hedong County are all from his hands, and they are effective, compared to Hedong and my Jinyang, the son-in-law feels that Jinyang is far inferior to Hedong. And this person is talented, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable, and unmatched in the world. If you talk about his character, he can compare with his brother Yang Yong, Yang Yong is unscrupulous, his wives and concubines are not satisfied, and he has repeatedly had private meetings with the female tricks of the Goulan. On the other hand, Yang Guang is completely different, without the unruliness of a rich family, living in a simple place, clean and self-conscious, never messing with flowers and grass, and can be a model for the royal heirs. If the people of the world worship him as a teacher, they will be able to learn something, be a person, govern, govern, and be safe, etc., and their achievements in the future will be limitless! ”
If this Chai Shao's words of praise were heard by Yang Er, it was estimated that he would be happy to turn his back on it. If Uncle Ma hears it, it will be a burst of vomiting----
"Sichang, is this Yang Guang really as good as you say? If this is the case, the prince will lower his face and give up everything to let the people worship him as a teacher. ”
"Yue Zhang's poetry collection doesn't know that Yang Guang's poetry collection has long been a must-have thing in the hands of the students of this dynasty, and the students regard it as a poet. Shimin has long been overwhelmed by Yang Guangwencai, and there are no other teachers in his eyes. ”
"Okay, think twice. Go back to your house. If the people of the world are still there, they will call him back, and this boy will not see anyone all day long. ”
"Yes, father-in-law, son-in-law farewell."
Out of the Guogong Mansion, Chai Shao, accompanied by the little servant, silently walked to his house. I have experienced too many unexpected things in the past year or so, especially the methods of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, who have directly or indirectly seen it, and at the same time I am shocked, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, I have to admire the pattern and magnificent spirit of my wife and cousin. Combined with the great changes in Hedong County around him, this change has already thrown Jinyang far away, and the people of Jinyang have to bring their families to Hedong and the new territory to which the King of Jin belongs every day, which represents a kind of people's desire. When he was anxious in his heart, he couldn't come up with a way to deal with it, which made Chai Shao always in thinking, and there was always a voice in his heart advising him that he should befriend Hedong County and the King of Jin, so that the people of Jinyang could live the same good life as the people of Hedong County. Although the King of Jin has not been called the emperor for the time being, he is already a well-deserved generation of emperors. Could it be that when the Great Sui Domains were wiped out, would he still be able to horizontal the entire Great Sui with his own Jinyang? It's better to surrender earlier.
After figuring out these joints, Chai Shao raised his head and quickened his pace back home.
"Two down five go three, three down five go to two, four down five go to one -----" As soon as I stepped into the front hall, I heard a childish child's voice reciting the abacus mantra.
Chai Shao knew that Li Shimin was still working hard in the house and had never played around, so he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Shimin, how did you learn the abacus?" Do you need a teacher? Brother-in-law can teach you too! ”
"Brother-in-law is back! This calculation is very exquisite, but it is a pity that addition and subtraction are easy to learn, and multiplication and division are quite difficult. I am afraid that there are not many proficient people in this city, who will teach them? My brother-in-law's abacus is not as fast and accurate as my sister! Li Shimin didn't raise his head, and replied with his hand constantly fiddling with the abacus.
"Shimin, if I send you to Luzhou to study with you?"
"Brother-in-law, Luzhou Royal Academy doesn't accept students like me, let's go back in a few years!" Li Shimin muttered and replied.
"Brother-in-law didn't say to let you go to the academy, brother-in-law wants you to go to Luzhou to worship a teacher, as his founding disciple, if this person accepts students in the future, they will be your junior disciples, this person is the most unusual, the people of the world will be able to learn from him the way to govern the country, the strategy of enriching the people, as for the abacus, these are just small skills for him."
"Brother-in-law, isn't Luzhou at war with his father now? How? Besides, in addition to the teaching of Xue Daoheng and the great Confucian scholar in the academy, Luzhou has not heard of other great Confucians, but the people of the world do not want to worship Xue Ru as a teacher. ”
"Huh! You must like this person that my brother-in-law said. Chai Shao said, sat down, and looked at Xiao Li Shimin, who was still confused.
"O people! Don't listen to your brother-in-law, even if that person is knowledgeable, it's just empty talk, let's wait for the Jin army to retreat! Don't fiddle with the abacus beads first, let's read a story from "Liao Zhai" to my sister first! My sister is also tired of embroidering this flower. The county lord of Xiuning, who was supervising Li Shimin's study, interjected.
"Sister, Shimin doesn't like the story in "Liao Zhai", so let's tell you a piece of "Yang Jiajiang"! That old Linggong Yang Ye is sincerely patriotic, full of loyalty, and the deeds of the Yang family can be sung and cried, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent. ”
"Come on, you should tell your brother-in-law the story of the fight and killing! Your brother-in-law patronized someone to buy these books for you at Luzhou Bookstore, and he has never read them himself, so tell him about it! I don't know when Luzhou Bookstore will release a sequel to "Liao Zhai"? ”
"Brother-in-law, do you want to listen? There is also a section where Yang Shilang was defeated and captured, but he was taken into a son-in-law by the lord of Liaoguo, which is ---- with your brother-in-law."
"Stop, stop. O people! Don't say anything about Yang Shilang's first, I just ask you, do you know these books, oh yes! And who is the abacus mantra booklet in your hand? Chai Shao saw that Li Shimin was leading the topic out of order, and he even brought it to his own son-in-law, so he hurriedly stopped talking.
"Brother-in-law doesn't talk about it, Shimin is just trying to ask! Why is the book published by the Luzhou Bookstore, the person who wrote the book is called "Inexplicable Hall", I don't know who this person is? Li Shimin looked at a few books on the table and asked.
