However, to Sun Xiangfu's surprise, as the Wenchen led by the eldest grandson Wuji and the military generals led by Wei Chigong took the lead in standing up, all the officials of the major families actually stood up and expressed their support for the integration policy he proposed, which made people have to think more.

For Sun Xiangfu, this phenomenon is both a good thing and a bad thing.

On the good side, after the court reached a consensus this time, for a period of time, everyone will not oppose the cultural integration policy he advocated, of course, Sun Xiang now understands that those families jumped out to support their other meaning, the reason is that they want benefits.

The new crops that exude wind from Sun Xiangfu can create huge benefits, and a secret, once it is known by three or four people of different forces, it is no longer a secret, the economic value of the top mountain monkey mushroom plus the oak tree is a good thing that is much higher than the spice, if the family officials dare to oppose Sun Xiangfu, this benefit is destined to be lost to them.

The bad side is that if all the civil and military officials jump out to support a person's proposal, this person will definitely be jealous of the emperor, even if Li Shimin himself agrees with Sun Xiangfu's approach, but you are a courtier, you can't take the limelight out, where does this put the emperor? can't bring everyone to the emperor to admonish, such a situation, in a sense, is more like forcing the palace, and the emperor Li Shimin is a bit like being forced to make a decision.

Otherwise, people like Sun Xiangfu can't play politics! It can be said that anyone in the court, with Sun Xiangfu's hand, will not play like this, all the cards to be played, the things that are made, are rehearsed and discussed in advance, will not be like him, on a whim, he said what he thought, just such a small hole, was seized by the sons of the family, they suddenly came out to support Sun Xiangfu, that is, for their own interests, at the same time, but also invisibly sparse the relationship between the emperor and him.

In feudal society, all kindness should come from above, and all pots must be carried by courtiers, even Wei Zheng, who often jumps out to choke the emperor, understands this better than Sun Xiangfu.

Therefore, after Cui Shixun, Sun Xiangfu also sweated, and secretly swore in his heart that in the future, in the court, he couldn't think of anything to say, his brain, quarrelling, choking people may be okay, if you really want to do things, it is not as thoughtful as those groups that integrate the wisdom of all people, maybe at that moment, he will jump into the pit designed by others and still don't know it.

But fortunately, Li Shimin is a wise man, he knows Sun Xiangfu's shortcomings, and even, like his shortcomings, in his opinion, people like Sun Xiangfu who are dedicated to doing things should not be damaged by the big dye vat of the court. Even if he encountered today's situation, Li Shimin was not angry, but felt that Sun Xiangfu was scheming and simple.

People are often like this, when Li Shimin didn't have a good sense of Sun Xiangfu, Li Shimin could find a bunch of derogatory words to describe him when he did any good things, and now, through various examples, Sun Xiangfu changed Li Shimin's view of himself, then, no matter what Sun Xiangfu did badly, Li Shimin could find a set of positive words to describe him.

"Sun Zhengming is reasonable, my life's wish is to subdue the four seas, however, how to subdue the four seas? In fact, if we take history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.

In the past, could the strength of the Han be able to dominate the world? Deserve it, and you don't deserve it.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did conquer the Quartet, but it was only in vain to consume the national strength, and gained a temporary prosperity, with his good conditions at that time, it was completely possible to accommodate some barbarians into the Han people through the reform of culture, education and some systems, so that they would never rebel, so that there would not be the tragedy of the Central Plains later.

And my Tang Dynasty has only been established for more than ten years, and its population and national strength reserves are several times weaker than the Han Dynasty after the rule of Wenjing, so I want to conquer the four seas, and I can't conquer in all directions like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because our Tang Dynasty does not have such a foundation.

Therefore, I can only find another way and take a new path.

This road is what Sun Zhengming said, the integration of the population of Siyi into my Datang, my Datang will have a population, and the land of Siyi will be incorporated into my Datang, and the territory of my Datang will be vast. In my opinion, conquest and slaughter can only be strong for a while, and integration can be peaceful.

Therefore, I have decided to make the policy of integration and assimilation of Zhuhu the main strategy of the imperial court's governance, and from now on, those who have made meritorious contributions to the promotion of our Han culture and the policy of integration will be rewarded, regardless of whether they are high or low.

For scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, and even slaves of their own and foreign tribes who do not have household registration, they should also be redefined, and 'citizens' should be used as a general term, and there should be a hierarchy.

As for the matter of Xue Yantuo's yearning for the Tang Dynasty's ministers, it was all presided over by Sun Zhengming, the governor of Anbei, and the Ministry of Rites cooperated with him. ”

It is rare that everyone's thoughts have a chance to be unified, Li Shimin is naturally to stuff his own private goods, he has long intended to change the household registration policy of the Tang Dynasty, saying so much, in fact, it can't hide that he wants to reuse talented people from all walks of life to relieve the family's control of the court.

For example, businessmen are a group with a high literacy rate, and farmers and workers have more professional talents, and when these people all have the right to be officials, then the number must be huge, so it will be difficult for the family to monopolize the power of the court through the scholars they cultivate.

Now, Tuli and Jieli have been defeated by the hands of the Tang Dynasty, Hui Hui, Xue Yantuo surrendered, the victory of the Tang Dynasty, no one in the world is matched, it is Li Shimin's drastic reform, of course he will not be soft.

After the emperor made a concluding speech, today's court meeting was over, but Sun Xiangfu's matter was not over, Li Shimin left him and several ministers who were qualified to discuss politics to go to the imperial study to discuss matters.

It is not easy to mix a seat in the emperor's imperial study, and it is even more difficult to mix a royal meal, and eating at the same table with the emperor is a great honor for the minister.

Today, Sun Xiangfu got a meal, and there were several people dining together, Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Wang Gui, Gao Shilian, and Cen Wenwen, plus the main seat vacated for Li Shimin, this large round table with two square meters was filled.

Although Sun Xiangfu's official position is high, he is the youngest and has a lower title, and he sits at the end of the seat with the secretary and supervisor Cen Wenwen.

Taking advantage of Li Shimin's pre-arrival, Sun Xiangfu chatted with a few adults on the table first, mainly to talk about the meaning of the word 'citizen', Sun Xiangfu thought of a very simple routine, boiled frogs in warm water, first of all, the rights and interests of ordinary citizens will not be too high, with the improvement of Datang's national strength, the gradual improvement of soft and hard power, and the gradual improvement of citizens' rights, when the time comes, even if there is any problem, the emperor can control it freely.

As for the initial division of citizens, they were divided into three classes, and first-class citizens were royalty, nobles, and officials.

Second-class citizens are the existing non-slave and lowly people in the Tang Dynasty, including the so-called scholars, farmers, workers, and businessmen who have studied in the past but have not become officials.

Third-class citizens, is all citizens who are not the first two categories, among them, some of the original singing and dancing artists, as long as they are not criminals or sinners, originally lowly people, will be promoted to second-class citizens, Sun Xiangfu used a set, occupation or noble and low, but people should not have a distinction between high and low, you know, in the pre-Qin period, scholars who did not produce also experienced the days of low social status.

In the future, only those who really belong to the third-class citizen category will be those who commit crimes, or foreign slaves, or prisoners of war.

Once the idea put forward by Sun Xiangfu is established, then the entire social structure will be changed, except for the group of first-class citizen classes, most of the other classes are equal, only the occupation is different, there is no difference in personality, in this way, there will be a lot of discrimination, you want privileges, you can! You're going to be an official! Incumbent officials are first-class citizens and do enjoy privileges.

In doing so, it deprives the rights of those who have read books but have not been a scholar, and it improves the social status of everyone except the original class.

As soon as Sun Xiangfu's idea was proposed, it won the approval of several people at the dinner table, those who do not serve as officials and contribute to the court should indeed not enjoy privileges, you read the book, others should let you? Should the law be biased in your favor? There is no such reason.

The privileged person should be the one who has contributed to the country and the society, just like a reward is given only to those who have merit.

The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to express his agreement with Sun Xiangfu's concept, believing that such a setting would encourage more people to become officials, because no one wants to lose their privileges.

Later, Xiao Yu put forward some additions, such as what kind of system is needed for the management of citizens' ranks, such as how to distinguish taxes, and so on.

However, as one of the core members of the world's top families, Wang Gui has reservations, he knows that the current Tang Dynasty controlled by Li Shimin is indeed difficult to shake, but if it involves the rights of too many people, then this matter is not easy to implement.

Wang Rui, the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang clan, is also a man who has no talents, if you let him be like a commoner and not enjoy any privileges, I am afraid it will be difficult to do.

Half an hour later, Li Shimin came to the imperial study, stepped into the position left for him, and said, "When I saw the rise of Zhuqing's talk, I listened outside the door for a while, but I gained a lot. Generally speaking, it is a problem of the distribution of rights that is difficult to solve.

However, you have forgotten the original purpose of this citizenship system. ”

As soon as Li Shimin said this, everyone immediately understood that the original intention of the citizenship system was that Sun Xiangfu came up to fool Yi Nan and the foreigners who might be subjugated in the future! Difficult to solve the position, you can put it aside first! For the aspects that are not difficult, try to solve them.

For the imperial court, it is indeed very difficult to implement the rights of some people, so it is very simple to promote the rights of some people! First of all, the social status of some people who were originally lowly should be raised.

What is political wisdom, Li Shimin's way of handling things, is called political wisdom, he always puts himself on the side of the righteous and helpful, does not let too many people oppose him, as long as the last bit of stubbornness is eliminated with a butcher's knife, he can achieve all-round success, just like the change of Xuanwumen, only kill those who must be killed, be tolerant of the majority of people, stabilize the situation first, and slowly, and then use various means to break down and solve the problems one by one.

However, Sun Xiangfu dug such a big pit precisely because he knew that he had such wisdom, once the civic system was established, the changes to Datang would be earth-shaking, what power did the Datang people have? First of all, passing through the state and county, without the consent of the government, you can travel freely, and this alone makes it possible for Sun Xiangfu to realize the northbound migrant work wave that Sun Xiangfu envisioned earlier in Datang, not to mention some other laws, laws, and tax policies.

A modern person, in ancient times, used his brain, there are many innate advantages, Li Shimin has Li Shimin's wisdom, Sun Xiangfu also has his own wisdom, he can roughly guess what Li Shimin is thinking, but Li Shimin, as well as those family thinkers, but can not guess what Sun Xiangfu is thinking, if the ancients had such unbridled imagination, this country would have become developed thousands of years ago.
