Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, and then said cautiously: "The concubine has always been in the palace and has not been affected. ”

Li Zhi smiled: "This is impossible, your mother's land also has to pay taxes, don't they have any complaints?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "The concubine's maiden family can have today, all of which are gifts from Your Majesty, and now Your Majesty has taken the lead in paying taxes, and... And this matter is also caused by the concubine, the concubine should be responsible for this, and the mother's side should also fully support it. ”

Li Zhi nodded, and suddenly said, "But if you put all this aside, what do you think of the new deal?" ”

Wu Meiniang's eyes widened, and she was silent and did not answer.

This question is qualitatively different from Fang Cai's question, Fang Cai's question only involves foreign relatives, but this issue is related to national politics.

Li Zhi smiled: "It doesn't hurt if you say it, during this period, I have been sick in bed, and I don't know what everyone thinks of this new deal, I want to hear your opinion." ”

Wu Meiniang pondered a little and said: "Your Majesty, you --- you know, in fact, the concubine has always been very supportive of Han Yi's policy, and the concubine also thinks that my Datang must go all out to develop industry and commerce, but it was only later ......." ”

Speaking of the back, she looked embarrassed.

Li Zhi was curious: "Why do you think Datang must develop industry and commerce?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Now that Goguryeo has been wiped out, and the northwest has been conquered, there is only one Tubo left on the side, but the geographical environment of Tubo has always discouraged our Central Plains Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty has been exhausted when it came to this point, which shows that whether the Tang Dynasty wants to conquer Tubo in a high place, or wants to go farther to the Western Regions, it will take more manpower and material resources."

The original production system, has been unable to meet the needs of the Tang Dynasty to expand the territory, although our dynasty's Juntian system is different from the Han Dynasty, but the essence is still the same, and at the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although the Han army is invincible in the world, but the country can not support the army to go further, now my Tang Dynasty is also facing this situation, so if you want to go further, only by seeking a breakthrough, producing more wealth, and developing more advanced technology, the Tang Dynasty is likely to conquer the higher Tubo, farther Western Regions, and consolidating the existing rule of the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, we can only be content with the status quo, passively beaten, and if we blindly pursue the expansion of territory, we will only follow in the footsteps of the Han Dynasty. ”

Li Zhi smiled when he heard this, and had to say that Wu Meiniang's words just spoke to his mind, why did he spare no effort to support Han Yi's new policy, of course, there are many objective reasons, but there are also subjective reasons.

He also understood in his heart that compared with the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was really not much different, they were all small-scale peasant economies, all farming, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he was much richer than him, but he soon hollowed out the country.

And breaking through the limitations of geography and setting foot in West Asia, that is Li Zhi's political ideal, every politician has his political ideals, and will always move towards this goal, Han Yi's policy gave him this hope.

"You're right! If I want to go further, I must change. ”

Li Zhi sighed with emotion, looked at Wu Meiniang and said, "If you can always stick to this idea, how good it would be!" ”

Wu Meiniang glanced at Li Zhi embarrassedly and said, "After all, the concubine is a woman's family, and her heart is far less broad-minded than Your Majesty. ”

This is said very cleverly, in fact, it is a change of direction to admit her mistakes, why did she do that in the first place, is not because he can't tolerate Han Yi and is narrow-minded.

Li Zhi laughed when he heard this, but then fell into deep thought, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Now that Hong'er is sick, I'm afraid that I can't handle government affairs for the time being, and I want to concentrate on dealing with the affairs of Tibet, and it is difficult to take care of the government affairs, so you can help Hong'er deal with some domestic government affairs, and the recitals in the study have been piled up." ”

Wu Meiniang chuckled in her heart, and said with sincere fear: "Your Majesty, this move is absolutely impossible, the concubine is still guilty now, how can she handle government affairs." ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "You yourself said, you are a woman's family, this woman's family should be husband and child, now I don't have the energy to deal with so many government affairs, Hong'er also has to recuperate in the body, fortunately you have this ability, otherwise, I really don't know what to do." As for the past, let it pass, and the matter is settled. ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty, even if the concubines agree, but the ministers will definitely have opinions, if they learn about this, I am afraid that there will be turmoil in the DPRK and China, and please think twice." ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "They will be considerate of me, I am also arranging this way for Hong'er, and Hong'er is shouldering the future of Datang, and you are only helping to deal with some government affairs." ”

Wu Meiniang smbabbed a few times, got up and saluted: "The concubine obeys the order." ”

Originally, it was impossible for Li Zhi to use Wu Meiniang again, and all the previous signs have shown this.

But he really has no way now, because there has been a window period in the imperial power, and he and Li Hong have no way to deal with government affairs for a long time, so he has to find someone to fill this window period, according to the rules and regulations, it should be the prime minister, but Li Zhi is very, very vigilant about the prime minister in power, which is also his bottom line, he will not let the prime minister cross this line again, this selection comes and goes, only Wu Meiniang is the most suitable candidate, even if she makes such a big mistake, but Li Zhi can only choose her.

First of all, Wu Meiniang is a woman, in traditional thinking, this woman is impossible to turn the sky after all, Empress Lu is so good, she is the queen mother until she dies, and the Liu family's country is still inherited. As for what Wu Zetian is, it is all hindsight, anyone in the political environment at the time would not think that Wu Meiniang could finally be called the emperor, at most it is a Lu Hou level, if the prime minister is given power, it is Sima Yi and Wang Mang level, this country may change surnames, and since ancient times, there are too many precedents.

The lesser of these two evils!

Secondly, Wu Meiniang is the biological mother of the prince, everything about this parent is passed on to the son, Li Hong is weak, but Li Zhi loves Li Hong very much, that is, he is recognized as the prince, no matter what, he will pass the throne to him, if Li Zhi denies Li Hong, he is actually denying himself, because he is the weakest of the three sons of the eldest grandson, but he also became the emperor. If Li Hong is firm, then someone must be needed to escort Li Hong, because Li Zhi's health is not good, in case it collapses one day, Li Hong's current situation is very dangerous, and the power will naturally pass into the hands of Han Yi and them.

In terms of Li Zhi's own experience, it is impossible for him to leave Li Hong with an eldest grandson Wuji, or a Chu Suiliang, so he can only let the queen escort the crown prince.

But Li Zhi did not give Wu Meiniang any power, but just asked Wu Meiniang to help Li Hong review some of the pieces.

....．

At the third watch, Li Hong's study suddenly lit up with a yellowing light.

"You're waiting outside."

"Yes."

After the two palace ladies retreated, Wu Meiniang's eyes swept away, and finally landed on the mountain of musicals, she stepped forward and picked up a piece of music at random, and a smile suddenly rose at the corner of her mouth, "I didn't expect all this to come so quickly." Han Yi, the grievances between us are not over yet. ”

....．

....．

It was already the middle of the night, but the hall of the Sixth Courtyard of the Sage was still lit by candlelight.

"Ahh Ahh ”

"Brother Han, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't know which bastard is scolding Lao Tzu."

Han Yi rubbed his nose slightly, and then said to Yan Liben, "You go on." ”

Yan Liben said: "The old man said about it, but in the final analysis, ...... ”

At this, he laughed a few times.

"At the end of the day, it's money."

"Hmm."

Yan Liben said: "But the emergence of cement and toilets can solve many problems faced by cities in the past, and make people's lives better." ”

Han Yi set his eyes on the blueprint for the construction of Chang'an City on the wall.

This is the new Chang'an City that Yan Liben has worked hard to build, he is a genius in this area, and cement has given him infinite inspiration, because cement is actually a stone that can be changed in a thousand ways, which makes him very excited, he feels that he can build a new type of city, and use everything he has learned in his life for this new type of city.

I have to say that Han Yi really admires Yan Liben's talent in his heart, this new type of city has a very complete sewer system and water supply system, the current technology can do this step, it can be said that it has reached the extreme, some of these technologies are not seen by Han Yi in later generations, very ingenious, but the cost is also very huge.

If you are outside the city, the merchants are willing to pay, because the cement road can save them a lot of transportation costs, but if you are in the city, they will not be willing to pay this money, which must be paid by the imperial court, which must be nodded by Han Yi.

After a while, Han Yi smiled slightly: "If you say this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince Your Majesty, and now no one says that they are dissatisfied with the current environment in the city. ”

Yan Liben said: "Then what should I say? ”

Han Yi said: "Of course, it is to explain your ideas according to the needs of the new deal. After the advent of the New Deal, the movement of people will become more frequent, the urban population will also increase day by day, and the city will be almost unable to fit, so it will be necessary to build more buildings, and more reasonable planning, and save more space.

There is also the Lifang system, the Lifang system has hindered the lives of the people, some people in the city is to rent a house for a month, and the next month may have to go to Jiangnan, but the Lifang system has many restrictions, and these restrictions have brought a lot of inconvenience to the people, which is not conducive to the development of the New Deal.

In addition, the suburbs have gradually formed an outer city, how to connect the inside and outside more closely, then the planning of the city should be more open, not the same as before. ”

Yan Liben thought for a while, and then said, "But I still want money!" ”

Han Yi smiled: "As long as you can get Your Majesty to come to me to talk about this, money, it's not a problem." ”nt
