When he was served and dressed to go to court, Sun Xiangfu usually had no energy, however, Yu Xiu'er's words made all his sleepiness and fatigue disappear.

"Xiu'er, what did you just say?"

"The concubine said, Hongmei and Chuntao are pregnant, and the family needs a few more close people to serve, and the concubine has been selected by Uncle De and the maid, and when she turns around, the concubine will let her husband take a look."

"It's not this one, it's the latter one."

"The Zilan girl next to the concubine is also a good person, the husband is free, take her into the room!"

"No, why do you women keep thinking about finding women for your men?" Sun Xiangfu wondered.

Yu Xiu'er put Sun Xiangfu's last coat on, and while helping him tie his belt, she said seriously, "This is the responsibility of the concubine as the head of the house." ”

"It's for the prosperity of the family again, Xiu'er, have you considered the feelings of being a husband? My husband has no feelings for her, and I don't want to have skin-to-skin relationships with more women."

"Husband, this is also your responsibility!"

Yu Xiu'er interrupted Sun Xiangfu's bunch of complaints, as if this matter was not negotiable in her eyes.

In the era in which Sun Xiangfu lived, people didn't care about this called responsibility, usually called abuse or disorderly life, Yu Xiuer's approach to impacting his three views made him very depressed, perhaps, now for Yu Xiuer, running this family well is more important than Sun Xiangfu's own happiness.

With a more complicated mood, Sun Xiangfu was in the carriage, but he still managed to fall asleep, there was no accident at all, his carriage stopped at the gate of the imperial city, and someone came in, and there was more than one.

"I say, you two, don't disrespect young people just because you're old! The young man's dream is not changed. ”

"Zhengming, you also have one in twenty! It's still a young man! In a few years, it's time to call yourself an old man, by the way, it's two months to go to Jingzhou, I just returned yesterday, this young man's dream, I'm afraid, hehehe! ”

Sun Xiangfu really wants to say Hehe, your sister, twenty-one years old, in the next generation, she hasn't even walked out of the university gate! It's not a boy or something, but, okay! This is the Tang Dynasty, as a person who is married, has children, and is in a high position, the word young man is indeed a little far away from him.

"The two lords, don't patronize eating and drinking, if you have something serious, just talk about it, otherwise, when you go to the court today, I'm afraid that you won't have the right to speak."

"What? Zhengming has a lot to report? ”

"Of course, there are many local problems in Jingzhou, and even in the whole country, I have seen a lot along the way, what I haven't seen, there will only be more, Guanzhong, now it has reached a stage, the next step, we have to face the whole country."

"Okay, old man, I'll tell you briefly about the matter of the Ministry of Law."

Wei Zheng is definitely not an old-fashioned person, he will just use some very ingenious ways to make Li Shimin have to follow his advice, so although he died because of his confrontation with Li Shimin, he was unable to live in peace, but later he still went to Lingyan Pavilion, as a sworn friend of Li Jiancheng, he was able to achieve such high feats under Li Shimin, which can only show that his political wisdom is too superb.

Legislation, as well as the division of powers and internal daily management system of the Ministry of Law, almost only in terms of internal daily management, Wei Zheng set the rules according to the rules provided to him by Sun Xiangfu, and those that conflicted with moral cognition, he chose not to make explicit provisions and deal with them vaguely, but in private, he educated his subordinate judges and judged cases according to the central ideas written in Sun Xiangfu's statement, which greatly weakened the opposition from all sides to the reform of the Ministry of Law.

In addition, he also made military law and political law independent, military law is managed by the military department Shangshu and the generals of the guards, politics and law are managed by the prime minister, and the other law department is only in charge of civil law, of course, for military violations and political officials breaking the law, the law department also has the power to investigate and report, and file a lawsuit, but the trial and judgment are ruled by their own separate courts, which prevents the law department from having too much power and being attacked by everyone.

After listening to his general explanation, Sun Xiangfu had to say that in the current environment, according to his method, it is more operable, after all, the subversion is too big, and it may make all aspects rebound greatly, and this overall plan has been passed by the court a year ago, and now it has been implemented for almost a month, but there is no major problem feedback.

On the side of the Ministry of Commerce, Du Zhenglun was about to speak, but he was told that the gate of the imperial city had been opened, so he had to make an appointment with Sun Xiangfu and choose an opportunity to talk after the dynasty was dispersed.

Entering the Taiji Palace, Wei Ting and Li Gongyan consciously arrived behind Sun Xiangfu, taking advantage of the fact that the emperor did not come, whispered a few words to Sun Xiangfu about the preparations for spring ploughing, which were generally expected, and Sun Xiangfu was relieved.

Then, Sun Xiangfu went out of the court for the first time, he was sent by the foreign Qin, after returning to the court, it was naturally the first sequence of the performance, in fact, he should have gone to the palace to report last night and then go home, if this matter was put aside, there would be a royal history to impeach him, but now, everyone can understand, besides, people are rushing to send the mission, and they only go home in the middle of the night, which is understandable.

"Your Majesty, the minister is ordered to inspect Shannan Road, everything has been properly handled, and the decree will be handed over to the court today."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Well, I have already handed over your previous report to Zhuqing for circulation, but for the follow-up treatment, Zhuqing has different opinions, so you can tell me your own opinions, and I will use it as a reference." ”

"Obey."

After organizing the language, Sun Xiangfu said again, "Your Majesty, there are two reasons why there is a situation of rampant bandits in the land of Jingxiang.

First, the local lake area is crisscrossed, floods are frequent, and the people everywhere are powerless to resist the disaster.

Second, after the disaster, the common people had no way to ask for help, and had no choice but to fall into the grass. ”

Li Shimin pretended not to know when he heard this, and asked, "There is no way to ask for help?" Why is that? ”

In fact, why did those people go to be water bandits, and how did the local heroes harm them, Sun Xiangfu wrote clearly in the secret recital to Li Shimin, Li Shimin absolutely believed that it was the actual situation, however, he did not plan to deal with these local heroes and strongmen in a big way now, so on the bright side, Sun Xiangfu would not take it out to talk about it.

And the two points he said just wanted to open up a channel for the people in other regions who couldn't survive on the side of the imperial court to save their lives at a critical moment.

"Your Majesty, if the people are affected by the disaster, it will cause an instant shortage of food in a certain area, and at that time, the way they can think of is to ask the government for advice and borrow money from large households with grain, let's talk about those large households with grain first.

No one can predict the size and duration of the disaster, and these large families with food generally refuse to lend money to those affected by the disaster, first, because they themselves are threatened by the disaster. Second, they don't believe in the people's ability to repay their debts. ”

Sun Xiangfu said this, above the court, many local family officials nodded one after another, which gave them a good reason to excuse, then, today's board will definitely not hit their heads.

Then, Sun Xiangfu continued, "Therefore, to cure this problem, the people can only rely on asking the government for help, how to let the people get rations quickly?"

Previously, His Majesty set up a righteous warehouse, levied more food from the people in good years, and lent money to the people in disaster years, this strategy has many drawbacks.

For example, in Shannan Province, there is a county, half of the county was affected, half of the county was not affected, the people in the harvest year, have paid the grain of Yicang, in the disaster year, everyone knows that the price of food will rise, regardless of whether it is affected by the disaster or not, the people of the county will go to Yicang to borrow, because if you don't borrow, you will lose! As a result, the people who are really affected by the disaster will not be able to receive timely and adequate food relief, and you must know that one person cannot stand a few days of hunger.

In the New Deal, the establishment of the regular liquidation can solve such a problem, because the permanent liquidation is not to levy additional grain from the people, but in the harvest year, the money is used to buy the grain in the hands of the people, and in the disaster year, it is sold to the people at a flat price, which will be greatly suppressed, and after the disaster, the price of grain skyrockets.

Of course, it is not enough to have a standing position, because not all the people have surplus money in their hands and can buy the grain that is always closed.

Then, we should open a channel for the people to borrow money, and that is the money bank.

Our Datang Qianzhuang was established in Chang'an, it has been almost a year, and Shanyang's side, it has been more than two years, everything is running normally, and it can effectively help the imperial court solve many problems, however, it can also help the people solve many problems, Your Majesty, you should not forget the idea of spreading it throughout the country when the minister put forward the proposal of Qianzhuang! ”

How could Li Shimin forget such an important matter!

In fact, in the financial and taxation commercial places of Datang, the branches of the money village have all been opened, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Yizhou, there are, and these places with the money bank, the financial and tax posting is very convenient, there is no need to count a large number of personnel as in the past, escort, the loss has been reduced a lot, only the official accounting is clear, in one place to deposit, the bill to the court, the court can directly in Chang'an money money.

If all the cities in Datang have money villages, then, just in terms of financial and tax escort losses, more than 100,000 yuan can be saved a year, this kind of good thing that can save money and be more convenient, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji have been trying to implement it, and now it seems that it can not only bring benefits in terms of finance and taxation.

If there are money banks in the local area, and then open loans to the people, then, even if the disaster comes, the people can quickly find a money bank to borrow a sum of money with their household registration and field register, so that their lives can be temporarily guaranteed, after all, not everyone can get along with money, and there are still people who will sell grain. In this way, they will not have no way to ask for help, and choose to take risks and go to the grass to become bandits.

Sun Xiangfu almost didn't take out the things that the local heroes did evil, he just aimed at the problem, to formulate a system that the local heroes could not control, often close the position, and be under the management of his farm, such an important department as Qianzhuang, if other people could get involved, then Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji would not be where they are today.

And with this set of loan system, it is very difficult for the powerful and powerful, not only in Jingxiang area, but also in any region of the country, to use their previous system to steal the land in the hands of the people and force the people to a dead end.

However, the problem that the imperial court is facing now is still that there is not enough manpower, and it is unable to quickly build the yamen, officials, and money houses needed for the new policy to the local government, so even if it knows that this situation exists in a large area, the imperial court can only implement it step by step.
