Xu Qilin has been away from Luoyang for about ten days, and Li Sipang's report has only been submitted, and the delay in time is also to prevent His Majesty Li Er from contacting the two together.

is still the same reason, Xu Qilin doesn't want outsiders to see that he has stood in line, and he is a faction that supports Li Sifat; And Li Sipang also wanted to avoid suspicion, and even showed his father and court officials his ability to govern.

His Majesty Li Er looked at the fat son's recital, with a smile on his face, and from time to time he bowed his head, and appreciated the fat son's advice very much.

The migration from narrow townships to wide townships mentioned in the newspaper is indeed very insightful, and it can indeed solve some problems.

Since the migration of the people is subject to information and concerns on the road, it is up to the imperial court to make up for these shortcomings, so that the people can worry about the future.

Just like the preferential policies issued by those regions vying for talent in later generations, the imperial court could first let people count the fields in the prefectures and counties with less land and more land, how many peasants could be resettled, and what preferential conditions they had, and then report all these to the people.

Guanzhong could put up notices calling on and encouraging peasants to move to other places. If the registration is qualified, the government will pay for the grain, and can even provide carriages and horses, as well as post stations, to send the peasants to the prefectures and counties where they want to go.

Li Sipang also suggested in the report that if the post station was not convenient for the peasants to use, they could use the Didian of Dayingku to provide food and lodging just like they did for the exam.

These policies seemed to cost the imperial court a lot of money, but after the immigrants passed, the amount of land cultivated, the taxes paid, and the number of soldiers available increased, and in the long run, it was a no-lose deal.

From the point of view of His Majesty Li Er, the peasants had land to cultivate, and the tax revenue increased, which also ensured social stability and the continuation of the government and military system.

For a wise emperor, the stability of the ruling foundation is the most important thing, and a little money will not be looked at at at all.

"It's a good idea." His Majesty Li Er praised it, but smiled bitterly, but he also knew that this move was bound to be secretly resisted and even resented by the Guanlong nobles.

The Guanlong Group, or Guanlong aristocracy, has a long history and is inextricably linked with the royal families of various dynasties through marriages between families.

Among them, the most famous Dugu family "one door and three queens", that is, the three daughters of Dugu Xin became the queens of the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties respectively.

And the change of dynasty, the succession and creation of empires, can even be seen as palace coups led by them again and again. It is just the rule of one family instead of another, the Yuwen family replaces the Yuan family, the Sui Yang family replaces the Yuwen family, and Li Tang replaces the Sui family.

However, the Guanlong group has too much power, and even if the rulers of the empire are all elected to the top by it, it is inevitable that they will have a deep restraint and defense against it.

One of the reasons behind the death of the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty was that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was in a hurry, weakening the power of the Guanlong aristocratic group, which angered the people in power within the group.

As Li Tang, who stood on behalf of Sui, and was a member of the Guanlong Group, His Majesty Li Er knew this very well and understood it very thoroughly.

Since his accession to the throne, His Majesty Li Er's suppression of the Guanlong clique has not stopped. Four years after Zhenguan, in addition to reusing the upstart to take charge of the army, His Majesty Li Er also quoted Fan General to control the government soldiers.

These measures have gradually taken away the control of the military power of the Guanlong clique, and the decline of the Guanlong clique is inevitable.

But decline is decline, and the political power of the Guanlong group in the imperial court is still very strong. His Majesty Li Er adopted Xu Qilin's suggestion, carried out reforms in the imperial examination, and reused Han officials, which was also to suppress and weaken the Guanlong group politically.

Having learned the lesson of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty being too hasty and violent, His Majesty Li Er adopted a gradual and relatively moderate strategy.

Now, when he saw the fat son's report, he also thought that it was a good way to weaken the nobles of Guanlong.

The basis for the existence of the Guanlong aristocracy and scholars was the cultural heritage, the land, and the population controlled through the land. Concealment was their usual trick, which not only reduced the tax burden of the state, but also made it easier to become a source of private soldiers.

Therefore, like the suppression of the Shi clan, the inventory of land and population is the next measure of His Majesty Li Er, and it will be next year's plan.

And from the fat son's recital, His Majesty Li Er saw an opportunity that could be implemented immediately. As long as the peasants are given enough land and the taxes are not too high, what do the Guanlong nobles and scholars use to make the peasants dependent?

In other words, as long as the immigration policy was well formulated, many peasants would turn to the state, which would weaken the control of the Guanlong aristocracy and scholars over the population.

It is conceivable that they will definitely resist immigration, but they dare not do it openly, but it is inevitable to do things in secret. If it was another official, His Majesty Li Er would not care, but if he wanted to let the fat son attract resentment, it made him quite hesitant.

Gently stroking his forehead, His Majesty Li Er fell into thought, how could such a thing be prevented.

At this time, the palace people came in to tell the people, and the people of the Zhongshu House were waiting outside.

His Majesty Li Er immediately summoned him, and he relied on and trusted Ma Dami, who was both out of the poor and talented.

Ma Da Secretary walked into the hall with a pile of hundreds of official watches, and immediately received the treatment of being given a seat.

Zhongshu Sheren, the senior minister in charge of the central edict and the treasury of the imperial palace, was also responsible for drafting the edict, administering the attendants, proclaiming the holy decree, and participating in the execution of the hundred official tables.

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er asked Ma Zhou to come and consult the fat son's recital together, which is Ma Zhou's duty.

Ma Zhou looked at the recital presented by Li Tai, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Wei has analyzed this recital thoroughly, explained it clearly, and it is necessary to implement it. The imperial court is just a small amount of money, but it can pay taxes for a long time, and there is no harm in it. ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "I also think that Qingque's proposal is very good, and it is expected to solve the problem of a large number of people in Guanzhong. ”

After a pause, he continued, "But I don't want to leave this performance to the political affairs hall, or I don't want others to know that this is my business. ”

Ma Zhou was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled. This is obviously a matter of long-term reputation, why don't you want people to know that it is the advice of Li Tai, the king of Wei?

Could it be that His Majesty has the idea of changing the crown prince and does not want Li Tai, the king of Wei, to incur the resentment of the nobles of Guanlong, so as not to have resistance in the replacement of the crown prince?

Ma Zhou is so smart that he knows that even if it is, it is not something he can say. If Your Majesty wants to do this, then think of a way and don't ask too much.

"Weichen thinks this matter is easy, or it can be ordered directly by His Majesty, or in the name of someone else." Ma Zhou replied: "At this time, the statistics of each state and county can be submitted as soon as possible, and immigration can be carried out in the spring of next year." ”

His Majesty Li Er thought for a moment and said, "Then I will directly issue an order and let the political hall promulgate and implement it after deliberation!" ”

Ma Zhou presented the hundred official recitals he had brought, sat down, and participated in the decision with His Majesty Li Er.

"King Bin, look at your complexion, the thirst has been cured?" His Majesty Li Er looked up at Ma Zhou after reading a recital, and said with great relief: "If that's the case, I'm very relieved!" ”

Ma Zhou smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern." Wei Chen ate the six-flavor rehmannia soup given by Qi Lin, and also felt that the symptoms were alleviated and very curative. ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Qi Lin has used his master's prescription to heal people again, very good, very good!" ”

"Lu Yu Immortal's medical path is superb, but it's a pity that Weichen can't thank him in person." Ma Zhou sincerely expressed his regret.

His Majesty Li Er bowed his head slightly, and said: "Lu Yu Immortal is a master outside the world, and he doesn't want to see people in the world. But being able to fake Qi Lin is also the creation of many people. ”

Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty thinks that Immortal Lu Yu has a connection with Qi Lin, and is he not living in seclusion in the mountains, or traveling overseas?" ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "If it weren't for that, how could Qi Lin get so much help?" Moreover, time is short, and various problems can be solved. ”

Ma Zhou thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is wise. If they were far away, Qi Lin would not be able to get the guidance of the Immortal Elder soon. ”

"The immortal chief is neither reluctant to show his face, but also reluctantly." His Majesty Li Er said with great regret: "With Qi Lin's endorsement, it's the same. ”

Turning his gaze to Ma Zhou, His Majesty Li Er asked: "I want to establish Taoism as the state religion, what does King Bin think?" ”

Ma Zhou immediately nodded in agreement, there is nothing to say, Li Er is the ancestor of your family, and he can't say anything if he doesn't establish Taoism.

It's just that you just killed Qin Ying and other Taoist priests, and you established Taoism as the state religion so quickly, isn't it too short?

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and said slowly: "It is not too late to promulgate this edict next year. ”

It turned out that there was still a few months of buffer, but Ma Zhou understood now and had no opinion.

"Hasn't the freight of Baishi grain been adjusted yet?" His Majesty Li Er had already finished reading the recital and found that there was no relevant recital report from the branch.

Ma Zhou arched his hand and said: "Wait for Weichen to inquire and urge them to handle it as soon as possible." ”

His Majesty Li Er let out a "hmm" and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "I am so procrastinating, I am not as good as Qi Lin, it seems that I am too tolerant." ”

Ma Zhou hurriedly explained: "Just after the autumn harvest, the Du branch is busy counting the output in the newspapers of various places, and I ask Your Majesty to be lenient. ”

His Majesty Li Er exhaled a long breath, didn't say anything more, and ordered the palace people to renew the tea, sipping it slowly, and chatting with Ma Zhou.

"Can King Bin go to the theater and watch the "Meeting"?" His Majesty Li Er asked about the hottest topic in Chang'an at the moment, and said with a smile: "I have been to see it, and it is not bad." ”

Ma Zhou said: "Weichen hasn't been to see it, but the ladies of the family have watched it twice, and they all say it's very good!" ”

"The theater is really unique." His Majesty Li Er said: "The voice is clear, the box is elegant, and it is a good place for recreation. ”

After a pause, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Qi Lin wants to build a bigger theater for the royal family, but I haven't replied yet." ”

Ma Zhou said with a smile: "Your Majesty's golden body, it is really not suitable to go to the theater outside the city often." According to Weichen's opinion, a large theater was built outside the palace. It can not only be specially designed for royal performances, but also for the entertainment of the people of Chang'an, killing two birds with one stone. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded with a smile and said, "That's what I mean. If it is only built for the royal family, it will be criticized. It should be okay to rejoice with the people. ”

Only in the name of this can we get less sprayed. It's not that His Majesty Li Er is afraid of Wei Da Troll and the others, it's really annoying.

As he was talking, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, came to greet him. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Ma Zhou got up and retired.

"Done the pheasant slave's homework?" His Majesty Li Er asked with a smile, Of the three sisters-in-law, only one of them is by his side now. In addition, it is the youngest son, who is even more pampered.

Li Zhi arched his hand and said: "Back to my father, the homework has been completed, and the master has also checked it." ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "Tai'er invited you to Luoyang to play, did you agree?" ”

Li Zhi hurriedly replied: "The fourth brother invited, and the child also wanted to see the scenery of Luoyang, and he could also experience the suffering of the people along the way. ”

His Majesty Li Er groaned and did not agree immediately. Although Li Zhi had already stated that he wanted to go, he was a little reluctant.

Seeing his father's hesitation, Li Zhi arched his hand and said: "My son wants to go to Luoyang by land, and he will be able to return to Chang'an after more than a month." ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded helplessly in agreement, it is naturally safe to take the land route, although the waterway is fast, it is still worrying.

Li Zhi asked again: "Erchen heard that Zhongyue Songyang Temple has Pan Shidao's true humanity and profundity, and this time I went to Luoyang to see his face, I don't know if my father can allow it?" ”

Pan Shidao's master Wang Yuanzhi was known as the "King of the Law", not only Emperor Yang of Sui performed a disciple ceremony on him, but His Majesty Li Er also met with him when he was the king of Qin, and personally taught the Three Caves Dharma in the official residence.

When His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, Wang Yuanzhi returned to the mountain with a stubborn resignation, and His Majesty Li Er also built a Taiping Temple in Maoshan for him to live.

And Wang Yuanzhi is dead, Pan Shidao, as the sect leader of Maoshan Sect, has studied the Taoist scriptures, Buddhism, and Confucianism, and has integrated them, especially in the refinement of the three Qing teachings, the way of Taiqing, the way of the three truths, and the way of the six truths, and has made the greatest efforts.

To this end, he went deep into the Songshan Xiaoyao Valley for ten years and devoted himself to study. At the same time, he also studied the inner and outer Dan method, breathed and breathed, and used the essence of heaven and earth Yuanyang to refine the Xuandan in the body. He also practiced the method of guiding the valley, lying on the rattan bed at night, eating pine bait, and the tacit understanding with nature, I heard that it had reached the upper realm of Sanqing.

Moreover, Pan Shidao has completed the Taoist immortal spectrum, disseminated the Maoshan Taoism, recruited disciples, and preached the scriptures and Taoism, which has become famous.

Therefore, for Li Zhi's request, His Majesty Li Er happily agreed.

"My son is weak and sickly, when I see Pan Zhenren, I can ask more ways to strengthen my body." His Majesty Li Er still didn't forget to advise, "Or write a letter to Qi Lin and ask him to ask Immortal Lu Yu for a way." ”

Li Zhi arched his hand and said: "Erchen also has this intention. Lu Xianchang's method is very good, and his son's complexion is getting better day by day, and his body is also strong. ”

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "It is precisely like this that allows you to ask the Immortal Chief for a prescription through Qi Lin." Seeking medical advice is the right way, and what lead and mercury alchemy is absolutely uncontaminated, it is harmful and unbeneficial, you must keep it in mind. ”

At this time, His Majesty Li Er had a disdainful attitude towards pills, but in his later years, his mentality changed, and it is said that he died because of taking pills.

The state of mind when you are young is different from the state of mind when you are old. Maybe even Li Er, the first emperor of the ages, is afraid of death.
