Chapter Ninety-One: Disagreement

Although Li Shimin is angry, but there is a way to be in charge and not to find trouble, on the first day of the new year, he wants to have an unpleasant quarrel with Li Chengqian in the Taiji Palace, what will the officials inside and outside think here, and how much trouble will there be in the end?

After Li Tai's rebellion, Li Shimin was not as casual as before, and he endured it in the end.

The ministers below saw that Li Shimin was silent, thinking that the father and son had discussed it, so they didn't say anything.

"The food and clothing of the peasants and the people are the foundation of the world, and the lonely king views the agricultural politics of the imperial court, and there are many conservative policies, all because the rulers do not understand the way of the changing times.

Now my Tang Dynasty has a bumper harvest year after year, but the valley is cheap and hurts the peasants, so the people are changed to planting mulberry hemp, the grain in Guanzhong is insufficient, the foreign transportation cannot arrive, and civil strife will occur.

King Gu now ordered Shangshu Province and all prefectures and counties in the next day to liquidate the number of people per mu of fields in various places, as well as the number of acres of grain fields, the number of acres of mulberry and hemp fields, and the annual grain production per mu.

The officials of the prefectures and counties should check the amount of wasteland in detail and report it to the imperial court, and the Shangshu Province and the Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province should formulate the number of acres of wasteland reclaimed and the number of miles of canals excavated each year......

All prefectures and counties must have iron tools to reclaim wasteland, so the prefectures and counties with iron ore in the quasi-local areas report to the imperial court to establish iron workshops, and the imperial court supervises the creation of agricultural tools to supply farmland reclamation in various places.

In addition, all localities must build granaries to purchase grain and store grain at high prices to prepare for the year of famine.

On the day of the order, all localities must send people to publicize it to the township, so that the people will know the meaning of the imperial court's emphasis on agriculture. ”

The old ghost read this edict to the end of the hall, and this one was countless times more serious than the one. This first criticism of the rulers is not aware of the changes in the times, who is the ruler?

Both the emperor and the prime minister have a share.

Li Shimin and his monarchs and ministers relied on his internal rule to break through the Turks and destroy Gaochang in the west when they were complacent, and someone actually jumped out and said that he didn't understand the change, although he hadn't spoken yet, listening to Li Chengqian's edict, his breathing was obviously heavier, and he was about to be unable to bear it.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty's fundamental policies were biased towards Confucianism and economic policies were biased toward the small-scale peasant economy.

It is even more impossible to build a granary to raise grain prices, you must know that Li Shimin believes that low grain prices are a symbol of prosperity, do you raise grain prices or prosperous times?

But after reading this prince, although the monarchs and ministers in the hall for nearly a thousand hours had different opinions, no one said a word for a long time, this is because some time ago due to heavy snow and Zhang Liang, the lack of food in the entire Chang'an City almost caused a big chaos, and it has just passed.

And until now, the grain eaten in Chang'an City has still been transported from Luoyang, and Li Shimin and many officials are worried about this?

In order to prevent Luoyang from having an accident, Li Shimin has sent three batches of imperial historians to patrol the road in a row.

Everyone knows that grain is cheap and hurts farmers, but it is absolutely impossible to raise grain prices.

This is a contradictory relationship, and it has not been able to solve this problem in the modern era when science and technology and economic policies are constantly innovating, that is, the United States, which is known for its free market economy, also relies on state subsidies to survive in agriculture, not on market competition.

Li Chengqian did not greet Li Shimin in advance, because he was afraid that the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers would not accept his advanced ideas, and if they wanted to make raw rice and mature rice, they would announce this policy first, and then let Li Shimin and them have a headache.

However, Li Chengqian looked at the face of the minister in the palace and looked at him, and felt that the announcement of the edict could not be regarded as cooked rice.

The hall was quiet for half an hour, and Gao Shilian walked out with heavy steps and said: "It is not easy for the prince to know that agriculture is for the country, but he is a little impatient under this edict. In Yichen's opinion, it is better to think in the long run. ”

When the ministers heard this, they all felt that Gao Shi was too polite, but they couldn't say anything to refute Li Chengqian, and they didn't even dare to come out.

Li Chengqian was not happy when he heard this, with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, he could only do this, wouldn't he collect taxes from the peasants and give some subsidies for improved seeds?

None of them?

"Gao Servant Shot, what do you mean to be too impatient?" Li Chengqian said coldly.

Gao Shilian is seventy years old, and he is the uncle of the eldest grandson empress, usually Li Shimin is kind to him, but now he is questioned by Li Chengqian, a grandson, and he is also a little annoyed, so he said bluntly: "Although His Royal Highness the Prince's edict is well-intentioned, it is not easy to handle, and the increase in grain prices is even more of a disaster for the country and the people!" ”

"The government that brings disaster to the country and the people?" Li Chengqian's voice suddenly raised an octave.

"The government that brings disaster to the country and the people!" Gao Shilian didn't give an inch, he originally wanted to save some face for Li Chengqian because Li Chengqian was a junior, but when he saw Li Chengqian's attitude, he didn't have the heart!

"There are four people, farmers and industrialists, and the peasants are the largest in number, how can it become a government that brings disaster to the country and the people when the court gives them profits?" In fact, when Li Chengqian wrote this edict, he was ready to hate the ministers for debate, but as soon as he heard that they did not know how to pretend to understand and were alarmist, the fire did not come anywhere.

Li Chengqian's attitude also angered the ministers below, Gao Jifu is one of them, Gao Jifu is a member of the Zhongshu She, many of his political ideas are actually the same as Zhang Xuansu, they all pay attention to the simple political country, and they are also respected by Li Shimin in history.

Gao Jifu felt that Li Shimin was too harsh on Li Chengqian at that time, and now he thinks that Li Chengqian has embarked on an evil path, so he wants to discourage Li Chengqian.

"'The gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit', how can His Royal Highness the Prince, as the prince of the country, mention the word 'profit' when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth. The old minister said that His Royal Highness the Prince's edict sounded uncomfortable, and it turned out that it was followed by the word 'Li'.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as the prince, should be based on benevolence and filial piety, how can he be ......"

"Enough!" Li Chengqian shouted, coldly glanced at the ministers in the palace, and said word by word: "The lone king seeks benefits for the country and the people, and is bright and bright, and the holy kings of my Chinese clan, Yao Shunyu, Tang Wenwu, Chengkang, which one is not respected by the people for the benefit of the people?"

Don't talk about profit, don't talk about profit, why let the people not grow more profitable mulberry hemp and grow food?

This court is about the people of the Zhongda family, for example, the left concubine Yu Zhining's family has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, you ask him what the fields in his family are planted?"

Yu Zhining didn't want Li Chengqian to suddenly mention himself, to be honest, it was not a secret that his family's fertile land was tens of thousands of acres, and he himself often told others that his family had fertile land and didn't need anything.

But in this great court, Li Chengqian's sudden answer to such a question is not good, if it is said that he has grown grain, it is obviously false, but to be honest, hasn't he become a villain who seeks profit?

Looking at the eyes of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Yu Zhining blushed and sighed for a long time before he said: "The minister has always been busy with official business, and the acres of land at home are taken care of by the clansmen, but I don't know what the minister planted last year." However, this year, the minister should strictly admonish his family to plant grain on all the fertile fields at home. ”

Li Shimin, who had been watching coldly, looked at Yu Zhining's expression as he spoke, which reminded him of Li Chengqian's words relayed by the eldest grandson Wuji: "The mouth is silent, and the plan is secretly for the camp of the three caves."

Li Shimin couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart.

Li Shimin can see that how other ministers can't see that what Zhining said is not true, and the lack of food in Guanzhong is a fact, even if Yu Zhining can make his family grow food, what about the others?

Li Chengqian listened to Yu Zhining's words, looked down at the ministers in the palace with an expressionless face, and sighed: "It's a pity! There are still few people like Zuo Shuzi who are high-spirited and bright in the world! It also needs the imperial court to take advantage of it. ”

Gao Jifu was unmoved, and still stiffened his neck and said: "Of course, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about is the concern of the sages of the past dynasties, but what he does is not what the sages of the past generations do.

"Okay, okay, this matter will not be discussed for a while, today is the New Year's Day, and now it is past noon, Your Majesty should also give a banquet. How about this matter after the opening of the seal on the third day of the junior high school?" The eldest grandson Wuji came out to play a round, he was born in the Guanlong aristocratic military group like Yu Zhining, and the fertile land of him and his relatives is also in Guanzhong, it is certain to plant grain this spring, as for Li Chengqian's high-priced grain collection, or the imperial court issued an order to forcibly promote grain planting, it is really negotiable.

"Deliver a feast!" Li Shimin hurriedly responded.

"Your Majesty's decree from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Gao Shilian hurriedly asked, is it really that this edict is mainly given to Shangshu Province, can't he ask clearly?

This is also a feature of the early Tang Dynasty, the will of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has edicts, the system, edicts, etc., these must go down through the Zhongshu Province drafting, the Ministry of Menxia audit, the Shangshu Province implementation, some of the will can be directly sealed.

However, the "order" issued by the crown prince, the "teaching" audit under the prince is relatively relaxed, this is the story left in the Wude period, in the Wude period Li Yuan was looser on the regime, and the power fell into the hands of the three sons, so at that time, Li Jiancheng's "order" Li Shimin and Li Yuanji's "teaching" were parallel in the world, very chaotic, and the local people listened to who had the ability.

So now Li Chengqian can bypass the Chinese book, and the direct 'order' under the door is also thanks to the tradition left at that time.

This crown prince's "order" should be the first official "order" issued by the crown prince after Li Jiancheng's death in the ninth year of Wude.

As soon as Gao Shilian asked, the ministers of the palace all looked at Li Shimin, whether the edict involving heaven in the East Palace would be implemented?

Li Shimin looked at the minister's concerned gaze, and then looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian's face was a little pale because the wound would ache faintly as soon as it moved, and he persisted for several hours.

In Li Shimin's view, it is obviously problematic to directly implement this edict, but the problems raised by Li Chengqian must also be resolved.

In addition, he has just issued an order to allow Li Chengqian to participate in politics, and if he directly refutes Li Chengqian's edict, it will also deal a big blow to Li Chengqian's prestige.

After thinking about it for a few times, Li Shimin pretended to be disdainful and said: "How to issue this edict even if it is inconsistent with the fourth and sixth edicts, and wait for the prince and the Zhongshu Province to redraft an edict that is in line with the fourth and sixth before it is issued." ”

Four-six refers to the style of writing, that is, there are four characters and six-character sentences composed of the style of the pun.

Li Shimin did not mention the content of the edict, but directly said that it was a stylistic issue, which gave the ministers below a lot of room for imagination.
