Chapter 225: It's Langbei

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and it is impossible for Li Shimin to really see what he thinks in his heart.

For the sake of safety, in order to help the prince clear the way forward.

As a brother, Li Yuanjing is naturally an object that can be sacrificed, perhaps in Li Shimin's opinion, it is much better to make this decision now than to really force Li Yuanjing against him in the future.

Li Shimin really doesn't want to fight in the same room, provided that those brothers don't have any crooked thoughts.

Li Yuanjing can understand, but he can't understand.

But it doesn't matter, since Li Shimin's Datang doesn't want him to change too much, then it's okay not to change it.

Relying on the two industries of penicillin and weaving workshops, the money he can earn will not be spent in his lifetime.

Those who should be busy are already busy, and those who should be paved are all cushioned, so what is left is nothing more than Langbei......

This Li Yuanjing is my favorite, if a prince really waves, that scene ......

Gee......

"Do you know why this king is doing these things?" Li Yuanjing asked with a smile.

"Why?" Ma Zhou was stunned, he had thought about this question, but he just didn't understand, as far as King Zhao was concerned, being lazy was the best choice, and for a prince, the more he did, the faster he died.

The prince has the prince's way of survival, if Li Yuanjing is just an ordinary scholar who entered the government by virtue of the imperial examination, then what he does now will become his political achievements, Li Shimin will not only not obstruct it, but the addition of officials to the knighthood is just a matter of moving his mouth.

The same thing, put on people of different identities, the result is different, and it cannot be the same.

Therefore, Ma Zhou thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand this question, why would King Zhao, who was so smart and witty, make such a low-level fatal mistake?

"It's very simple, this king just doesn't want the descendants of thousands of years later to mention the words King Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, they will subconsciously say that this is a useless salted fish king, and now this king has done enough, weaving, agriculture, iron smelting, money village, when future generations mention this king, they will definitely say that King Zhao is a good king.

But such days are too tiring, this king is still so young, he shouldn't have lived such a depressing life......" Speaking of this, Li Yuanjing shook his head and said:

"Forget it, what are you doing with this? This king plans to go to Goguryeo in the next year, do you want to follow along and experience the feeling of the king? ”

"The minister wants to go, but he can't go......" Ma Zhou also shook his head with a wry smile.

If he also followed, when King Zhao came back, I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty would have no place for them.

Ma Zhou is a person who knows how to make trade-offs, and he is also a person who values affection and righteousness, if this kindness is not reciprocated, he Ma Zhou himself feels that his thoughts are not clear.

Ma Zhou didn't plan to drink, but under the backdrop of this atmosphere, he finally accompanied Li Yuanjing to drink a few glasses.

And the final result is naturally that Li Yuanjing himself thinks it's nothing, and the ending is already in the plan, so why bother to be depressed for some reason?

On the contrary, Ma Zhou was quite depressed, after all, he had been with Li Yuanjing for so long, and he could be regarded as a student brought out by Li Yuanjing, although the two were indeed a little different in age.

In the following period, in order to avoid suspicion, Ma Zhou always went to the Zhao Palace, mainly with the crown prince Li Chengqian, mainly to ask about some things about Qian Zhuang.

At present, the imperial court is focusing on the so-called bond issuance, which was proposed by Li Yuanjing a few months ago, when Li Shimin was moved.

However, some ministers in the court felt that this kind of borrowing money to live was not very good, and it would affect the credibility of the imperial court.

So this matter dragged on, but Li Shimin did not sit still, but asked Dai Zhou to calculate this year's income and next year's expenses.

The data won't be too accurate, but the general direction is fine.

The results of the data show that it is not bad, this year's bumper harvest in all parts of the country, coupled with the victory in the war, both the people's will and the economy are very good.

In the end, it was Li Chengqian who came forward to persuade Li Shimin, why......

It is precisely because the imperial court's expenditure for next year is already there, so you can do this thing first when you have money, because the imperial court has money to cash, and after the expiration of the people, the people get the principal and interest they should get, so the trust of the imperial court will be more, if one day in the future the imperial court really needs to rely on borrowing money to live, then with this foreshadowing, the process will not be too troublesome.

Therefore, Li Shimin decided to issue a one-year treasury bond of 500,000 yuan after the end of next year to try it out, and the interest rate was set at 5 percent.

Li Yuanjing also gave advice on this, although the treasury bond is very high-end, but in order to show the sincerity of the imperial court, it is best to announce where the money goes.

In the end, Li Shimin accepted this suggestion, and regarding the use of this money, the imperial court planned to invest in cement workshops, and planned to invest 30,000 yuan in Chang'an workshops to expand the scale, and invest 94,000 yuan in Luozhou, Taiyuan, Yangzhou, Ezhou, and Shudi for new cement workshops.

Li Shimin has been thinking about cement for a long time, and he is taking this opportunity to expand the scale, and then rely on cement workshops all over the country to build a cement straight road that can connect the whole country in the next ten years.

If this road is repaired, the benefits are self-evident, the civil side will naturally be much more convenient, it is also conducive to the development of commerce, and most importantly, it strengthens the imperial court's ability to control various places.

Because this kind of road can ignore the weather, even if it rains, it will not affect the speed of the army's march much.

In addition, after several months of discussion on some official arrangements and grades of Qianzhuang, there was finally a result, and the result was that each county was equipped with three officials, all according to the three rank of the middle and lower counties, but the two belong to different systems and do not govern each other, but they need to work together.

Other institutions are still as usual, the Mint Department has not been established, although the Supervision Department is under the name of the Ministry of Money, but it is fully responsible for a secretary of the Imperial Historical Observatory, which belongs to a branch of the Imperial Historical Observatory stationed in the Ministry of Money, in addition, for this reason, the original standard two governing scholars and imperial historians will also be increased to three, of course, the increase is the one that comes out, and it has no impact on the work of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Regarding the imperial examination, Ma Zhou carefully studied the functions of Qian Zhuang and listened to Li Yuanjing's opinions, and finally suggested that Li Chengqian adopt a specialized strategy, that is, to assess only the knowledge of each position and to increase his conduct.

For example, the counter staff needs to be assessed for their knowledge of arithmetic, and the chief and other officials are more assessed, and in essence, they are not much different from the officials, and they all need to manage the department.

Due to the start-up, a large number of talents are needed to fill so many gaps, so it is initially decided to add an exam to the next imperial examination, but the score of this examination will not be included in the total score, and the final admission will be selected by Qian Zhuang, provided that the list is lost, which is equivalent to selecting the talents suitable for them from the people who have fallen off the list, and it can be regarded as adding a way out for those scholars who have failed.

And Li Yuanjing has not been too idle in the past few months, he only finalized some real estate matters a year ago, and entrusted the operation after the year to Cheng Chumo, Li Yuanjing gave Cheng Chumo the complete plan and all the drawings.

The rest is to find a boat, to find a sea boat, there are a lot of thousands of stone boats in Neijiang, but they are all flat-bottomed boats, and they sink in a few days when they reach the sea, so Li Yuanjing constantly sends people to the beach to find a sea ship above a thousand stones, but at present, the effect is not good.
