Chapter 428: A Hundred Years of Plan
There is a dignified atmosphere in the study room.
Gao Shi's cheeks were flushed, and he pointed at Qin Tian a little speechless, if it weren't for Qin Tian's kung fu skills, he would have really done it.
Qin Tian was very calm, then turned to look at Li Shimin, and said: "Holy Lord, the matter of my housekeeper marrying a widow has made the minister discover some problems, and the minister feels that if it is not solved, it may affect my Tang Dynasty's hundred-year plan." ”
Hearing Qin Tian say a hundred-year plan, Gao Shilian immediately pursed his lips, thinking that there is still a hundred-year plan, a housekeeper marries a widow, what is the hundred-year plan?
However, Li Shimin was very curious and asked, "What does Qin Aiqing mean?" ”
"Shengshang, since the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of my China has plummeted, many strong men have died on the battlefield, and there are many widows left in the family, although the imperial court also encourages widows to remarry, but many times, widows want to marry, but it is not an easy thing."
At this time, Li Shimin already understood what Qin Tian meant.
If Datang wants to be rich and strong, the population must be large, and if the population is not large, Datang will not be able to withstand a vast battle, and only when Datang has a large population can Datang prosper.
But most of the strong men died in battle, leaving widows who could not marry, and it was difficult for the people of the Tang Dynasty to prosper.
This is indeed something that affects Datang's century-old plan.
"Qin Aiqing thinks the problem is?"
"Saint, there are many problems, first of all, although the widow has the heart to marry, but the widow's in-laws are not necessarily willing, and there are many reasons for the reluctance, for example, if you marry, you will take the dowry away, which will undoubtedly reduce the income of the in-laws, for this, many in-laws may not be willing to marry, and then there is, many in-laws and sons are dead, and there is no one else in the family, and the widow remarries, then the in-laws have no one to support the elderly, so it is difficult for them to agree to let their daughters-in-law and widows remarry, if they can solve these problems, Comparatively speaking, the matter of a widow's remarriage is easy to solve. ”
Li Shimin nodded: "The imperial court only encouraged widows to remarry before, but it really didn't take these into account, so in Qin Aiqing's opinion, how should these problems be solved?" ”
"If the widow remarries, she can only take away half of the dowry, and the remaining half is left for the in-laws to support the elderly, if the in-laws have no other heirs to support the elderly, the remarried widow has the responsibility to give the in-laws the elderly, and then there is, the widow remarries, the court had better give some rewards, of course, these rewards can be given to those in-laws, so that in order to reward, those in-laws will also let go of their daughters-in-law to remarry."
Qin Tian muttered a lot, and after listening to it, Li Shimin felt that according to Qin Tian's approach, it might bring certain economic pressure to the imperial court, but it could indeed solve the matter of widow remarriage.
"Of course, the minister thinks that the most important thing is to do a good job in the problems of those old people, if the old man is eighty years old, the court can also consider giving the old man some rewards......
Qin Tian muttered again, and the more he spoke, the greater the pressure on the imperial court, but Li Shimin was very shocked when he heard it, because what Qin Tian said was very beneficial to maintaining the stability of the Tang Dynasty, if it can be fully implemented, the people will have something to rely on, and their happiness will definitely improve a lot.
The two of you discussed it word by word, the more you talked, the more excited you became, the more you talked, the happier you became, what did Li Shimin mean by punishing Qin Tian?
Gao Shilian stood next to him, very puzzled.
I came to impeach Qin Tian and let Li Shimin punish Qin Tian, why did he suddenly become like this?
Gao Shilian was very unhappy.
"Holy ......"
Gao Shilian suddenly interrupted the discussion between Li Shimin and Qin Tian, Li Shimin frowned slightly, in fact, from what Qin Tian said just now, he basically understood what was going on.
Qin Tian couldn't do anything to rob people, it must have been Gao Shilian's people who were beaten and felt uncomfortable, so he came to frame Qin Tian.
"Shen Guogong, I have something to talk about with Qin Aiqing now, why don't you go back first?"
Li Shimin issued an eviction order, Gao Shilian couldn't believe that this was true, what is this, it is so unfair.
"Holy Lord, the ...... of my family being beaten"
"Shen Guogong doesn't need to say more, I know everything."
Li Shimin didn't want to hear it, Gao Shilian had no choice but to retreat.
After Gao Shilian retreated, Li Shimin continued to talk to Qin Tian again.
"Qin Aiqing, in your opinion, if what you said is implemented, how much money will it cost?"
"Money will definitely cost a little, but it is not as huge as imagined, although there are many widows, but it is not a lot, there are many elders, but in fact, it is not small, if Datang can really be prosperous and strong, this money is all small money, maybe in the early stage, it will be more stressful, after all, today's Datang, not long after the founding of the country, is not particularly rich."
Qin Tian said that Datang is not rich, I am afraid that no one likes to hear this, but Li Shimin still understands the situation of Datang, and he is not happy at this time, many things will be based on reality, and today's Datang is indeed not rich.
"Qin Aiqing is right, then do you think this matter can be implemented directly, or wait for two years to implement it?"
Qin Tian naturally hoped that it could be implemented immediately, in this way, it would be very helpful for Li Shimin's prestige and reputation accumulation, but he also knew the situation in Datang, if it was implemented at once, Datang's finances would be much tighter.
And now Datang is still fighting with the Turks, in case there is not enough food and grass, and the money is insufficient, it will be fatal to Datang.
After thinking about it, Qin Tiandao: "Shengshang, there is no need to rush to implement this matter immediately, you can send someone to investigate it to see how many of my Datang want to marry, but I can't marry because the problem of my in-laws has not been solved, investigate how many old people in my Datang are over eighty years old, and then consider whether to implement it immediately after we have conclusive data." ”
If there is no investigation, there is no right to speak, although this move is beneficial to Datang, but the actual situation of Datang must also be considered.
"Qin Aiqing said well, I have just ascended the throne, I really need to do something for the people of the world, although it can't benefit all the people, but it also solves the most needs to be solved, those who are really in difficulty, how about leaving this matter to you?"
"This ...... Isn't the saint a little bit of a love for Weichen? ”
Li Shimin pursed his lips: "When you bring it up, you are not responsible for who is responsible, it's up to you, you can tell me if you need anyone or other things, and I will satisfy you one by one." ”
Li Shimin said this, Qin Tian couldn't refuse anymore, thinking that this matter was the easiest thing to be manipulated, and he didn't feel at ease when others did it.
After all, if there is a real need, and the elderly people fail to find out, but some people lie about it, then it is not good.
"Since the saint thinks so highly of Weichen, then Weichen will take over this errand, and within a month or two, he will definitely give Shengshang an answer."
