In fact, at this time, Han Yi didn't have much effort to deal with family matters, and he didn't have time to go to the hot spring manor for a vacation, although he successfully pushed Wu Meiniang to the throne, but if he didn't do it well, it would be in vain, and the Tang Dynasty was still facing internal and external troubles.

Li Zhi's funeral.

Work in the war zone.

Hungry people.

It is to continue to implement the fetters system, but to replan the territory of the Tang Dynasty and how to manage those places.

Wait a minute.......

The affairs are already piling up.

Moreover, these are all problems that have been piled up for a long time, and it cannot be said that they can be solved one by one, they must be solved at the same time, and none of them can be delayed, and the difficulties in this are much greater.

Therefore, the Liangyi Hall often holds meetings all night, and Zhang Wenguan and them can't stay up, after all, they are old.

Li Hong saw this scene and secretly rejoiced, if this was replaced by him, it was estimated that he would die in the Liangyi Palace, he would definitely not be able to stand it, let alone all night, if he didn't rest enough, he would be very uncomfortable all day, he suddenly wanted to open it, ten years will be ten years, and he doesn't feel that he has suffered a loss at all.

First of all, what should I do about Li Zhi's funeral?

Merchants are now willing to give money, but their money is also extremely limited, and at the same time, they have to help the people in the northwest, whether the emperor's funeral is important, or the lives of the people are important.

In the end, Wang Xuandao thought of a way, let's not take the grand route, but take the sensational route.

It is to invite a group of Taoist priests to do it, no one is invited, and the people will carry Li Zhi's coffin to the mausoleum independently, and it is in the way of relay, Li Zhi has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, and the people of the world will send Li Zhi on this last journey, which is undoubtedly the most appropriate, even a good story for the ages, the most important thing is to save money, but the atmosphere is definitely much better than the grand route.

Wu Meiniang finally adopted Wang Xuandao's suggestion, and the Ministry of Industry spent three days and three nights to get a coffin carried by 100 people.

On the day of Li Zhi's funeral, the atmosphere was moving, and the people along the way rushed forward excitedly, scrambling to carry the coffin for Li Zhi, and many people followed along the way, all kinds of tears.

Although the walk is slow, but day and night, the people continue to relay, even at night, everyone is holding torches, the scene is even more tear-jerking.

No emperor was so loved by the people.

This also set a record, because the number of participants reached 200,000, this record will definitely go down in history, but it will become the best praise for Li Zhi's life.

You must know that in the past, when the emperor was buried, the court forced the people to go, and this was all voluntary by the people.

What's more coincidental is that Li Zhi didn't like those luxury goods in his life, he was a thrifty emperor, so the ministers suggested that just get some of Li Zhi's usual daily necessities, and keep those luxury goods, don't bury them, Shaofu is so poor, don't waste it so much, those luxury goods can also mortgage a lot of money, so Li Zhi's funeral goods are very ordinary, not the same as Li Shimin, the funeral is gold, silver and jewelry, as well as Wang Xizhi's paintings, the whole word, vulgar.

Li Zhi took the elegant route.

As for the people accompanying the burial, Wu Meiniang decided not to arrange people to accompany the funeral, but arranged the concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids around Li Zhi to a palace next to the mausoleum, and raised them, but they were not allowed to leave there.

After all, these people are the people around Li Zhi, they know a lot of things, so they must not be let out easily, either they will be killed, or they have to stay in the palace, now that Wu Meiniang is in power, how could she keep Li Zhi's concubines and did not kill them, it was all because she had just ascended the throne, and she was embarrassed to kill, so she chose to raise them.

Those people are still grateful.

As for how to relieve the people in the northwest region and the Tuyuhun region, Wu Meiniang of course adopted Han Yi's suggestion, that is, to use private commerce to rescue, in fact, she can only take this road, because the country can't come up with money for the time being, but the imperial court still gives preferential loan policies, that is, let Jin Bank and Yuan Bank lend money to northwest businessmen, and the court helps them bear the interest, in fact, Han Yi's interest to the court is very low.

It's the third watch, but the lights in the Liangyi Hall are bright, which has become the norm.

Wu Meiniang was a little depressed and threw the piece in her hand on the desk in front of her, and complained: "There are so many problems, and I need money everywhere, even if I don't sleep endlessly, it won't help, because I can't come up with so much money at all." ”

If there were a lot of people sitting below, she would definitely not complain, and now there is only one minister sitting below, which is Han Yi.

"Isn't that what you've always dreamed of?"

Han Yi stood up and walked to the side, only to see a table over there, with drinks and pastries on the table, because at this time, these drinks and pastries have become commonplace.

Wu Meiniang snorted: "This is what you imposed on me. ”

"If there is no such great difficulty, you think you can sit on it, the saint cloud, the sky will descend on the people, and the people will ......."

Without waiting for him to finish reading, Wu Meiniang said, "Shut up!" Tian She'er, who hasn't read a book. ”

Han Yi was not annoyed at all, but smiled, came to Wu Meiniang with two glasses of wine, handed one of the wine glasses to the past, and said, "Let's rest first, the tired brain will only make things worse." ”

Wu Meiniang glanced at him and took the wine glass.

Han Yi sat directly beside her.

Wu Meiniang was stunned, how could others sit on the edge of this dragon couch, but she was stunned for a short time, not only did she not reprimand Han Yi angrily, but took the initiative to lean on Han Yi, staring at the red wine glass in her hand with a dull gaze.

Women are still not as good as men in this regard, men can lick their wounds alone, but women still need to rely on them when they are in difficulty, even if this woman is Wu Meiniang.

Han Yi gently hugged her and asked with a smile, "What about regrets?" ”

Wu Meiniang said lightly: "I rarely regret it. ”

Han Yi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the problem will be solved step by step!" ”

Wu Meiniang sighed faintly: "That also has to be solved, there are a lot of problems now, and some of them can't be solved at all." ”

Han Yi said: "It can't be solved because you still maintain a traditional idea of governing the country, that is, you think that everything has to be done by the court, and everything has to be decided by you, and you can't wait to make achievements to show the people of the world, in fact, if the court gives more freedom to the people, the wound will naturally heal slowly." In addition, if you solve all the problems by dividing five by two, the prince will definitely feel that he has been fooled. ”

Wu Meiniang said: "How do you say this? ”

Han Yi said: "If the people are rich, the country will be rich, as long as the people are rich, the country will be richer, what you have to do is to make the people richer, so that not only can solve the problem, but also fill the treasury." ”

Wu Meiniang groaned for a moment and said, "This is easier said than done!" ”

Han Yi smiled: "It's not difficult, as long as the tax is reduced." ”

Wu Meiniang raised her head abruptly and said, "Now that the treasury is so poor, how can you still reduce taxes." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "As long as the economy is good, the country will not be short of money." ”

Wu Meiniang thought for a while and said, "Vouchers? ”

"Exactly."

Han Yi said: "Now that I have such a large number of people in Datang and so many more people, if these places are turned into markets, then it is bound to increase the demand for vouchers, and the country can issue more vouchers, and stamp duty will increase on a large scale." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "How to reduce taxes? ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "The main thing is to reduce agricultural taxes, food is the foundation, only cheap food, people will have more money to consume, consumption will contribute to the growth of stamp duty, and the market demand for vouchers, at the same time the manufacturing industry will also be greatly promoted, as long as the surrounding areas are in demand for my Datang goods, then the vouchers that can buy Datang's commodities will be recognized, then the vouchers will be further demanded, and more importantly, the previous vouchers are related to copper storage, but if they are related to the manufacturing industry." , the space will be larger, and at this time, the imperial court with vouchers will not be poor. But what the imperial court had to do was to reduce taxes and agricultural taxes. ”

Wu Meiniang said: "But... But it's not up to me to cut taxes, it's Congress. ”

Han Yi said: "The queen of heaven can come to the Congress in person and use a vivid speech to persuade the Congress to agree to the tax cut, think about how much this can help the queen gain the hearts of the people!" Moreover, when you reduce agricultural taxes, you can propose policies that encourage business development, and the farmers will certainly have no opinion, then the hearts of the people in the world will be the queen of heaven. ”

Wu Meiniang said: "But the state wants to repay the debt, and the tax cut at this time will violate the national debt contract." ”

Han Yi smiled: "Have you forgotten that we still have enough copper reserves, when the war broke out, copper reserves were not so important, we issued treasury bonds with tax guarantees, and with the development of the economy, copper reserves will become very important, we can copper reserves to guarantee next year's expenditure." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Yes! I almost forgot that we still have copper. ”

Han Yi said: "But it must be developed economically, and these copper reserves will still be useful." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Then how much tax do you plan to reduce?" ”

"Half."

Wu Meiniang nodded, and suddenly asked again: "I heard that the National Assembly has been discussing military and political reform recently. ”

Han Yi smiled: "You want to ask about the Guanlong Arsenal." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "You promised to hand it over." ”

Han Yi said: "The problem is that the treasury can't afford it now!" ”

"You want to go back on it!"

Wu Meiniang raised her head suddenly, but was kissed by Han Yi, and she couldn't help but open her eyes, but it was too late.

After some blending of lips and tongues, Wu Meiniang's cheeks were already red, one hand against his chest, and she said a little nervously: "This is the Liangyi Palace, you can't come nonsense." ”

Although she has become a diva, she doesn't want to end her intimate relationship with Han Yi immediately, although Han Yi is the person she distrusts the most, but things must be reversed, in a sense, Han Yi is also the person she trusts the most.

The Liangyi Hall is exciting! Although Han Yi thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to really mess around, and said with a smile: "Actually, I really don't care if I hand it over or not, but if I don't hand it over, it's good for everyone." If you think about it, Congress already controls the military, and it's also dangerous to let them control the weapons. ”

Wu Meiniang narrowed her eyes and said, "But in your hands, I don't feel at ease." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "Actually, in my hands, it is the most beneficial to you, and today, do you still think I have any intentions?" To protect you is to protect my interests. ”

.....

.....

In fact, Han Yi's strategy is very simple, which is to stimulate business development, increase the demand for vouchers, and then link vouchers to manufacturing, so as to unify currency and finance.

Wu Meiniang also adopted Han Yi's suggestion, deigned to the Congress, and staged a touching speech, asking the Congress to reduce agricultural taxes by half.

First of all, the peasants have played a great role in this war, and they should be rewarded and repaid.

Secondly, there are no strong enemies in the surrounding area, and the government reserves do not need so much.

Finally, it can also stimulate agricultural growth and ensure that the important principle of agriculture as the foundation of the country is not shaken, which is very beneficial to the country.

For this reason, she is also willing to cut her own money and reduce the expenditure of the palace. And it is proposed to use copper reserves to guarantee the expenditure of these two years.

In the end, this plan was passed by an absolute margin of 45 to 14, because Lu Shigua did not come back, so there was one vote less.

After this tax reduction bill was passed, the people were jubilant and everyone was happy.

Tax cuts are to reduce the burden on the people, and if the burden on the people is reduced, then consumption will naturally rise, and at the same time, it will stimulate business development.

At the same time, Wu Meiniang also promulgated a pro-business policy, eliminating all restrictions on businessmen, as well as some restrictions that are not conducive to commercial development, such as color, there were restrictions on color before, but Wu Meiniang allowed any color to be worn, but dragon robes and official uniforms are definitely restricted.

In addition, the six edicts, Tiele, Jianjiao, Tubo, and northwest China, all of which are classified as autonomous regions, will raise another question, that is, complete autonomy or partial autonomy, the imperial court will of course choose partial autonomy, and complete autonomy is no different from the feudal government, which requires a constitution.

The constitution applies to all regions, and under the constitution, the respective characteristics are ensured.

1

In today's national conditions of Datang, the constitution must exist, because many ethnic groups are integrated together, and the customs and customs are different.

Wu Meiniang asked the Criminal Department to legislate on this.

Eldest Sun Yan gladly accepted, excited to death, he could finally show his ambitions.

At the same time, Wu Meiniang also asked the Criminal Department to strengthen the application of the "sacred gentleman's contract", and this law must be added in all aspects, which is also to promote business development.

The business class was also very happy.

And the merchants make money, not free help, it is the Ukhori who take loans from the gold bank, and then buy their goods, but the price is cheaper, but they don't care, they are still worried, they produce so many goods and don't know where to sell, their scale is expanded in a state of war, and when the war is over, is the scale reduced, or how to do it?

There is no need to think about these issues today.

As soon as Wu Meiniang came to power, she gave all kinds of support to businessmen, and businessmen naturally reciprocated by reciprocating their favors, resolutely implementing Wu Meiniang's policies, and desperately aiding the northwest and Tuyuhun and other regions, the better Wu Meiniang, the better they were.

At the same time, there has been a heated debate in Congress.

It's about military politics.

The Sixteenth Guard Army was facing layoffs, the country could not afford to raise so many standing armies, and the Congress also thought that there was no need for so many standing armies, because Tibet had been wiped out, there were no strong enemies around, and the Congress was not the emperor, so it did not need so many troops to protect.

Disarmament is a certainty.

But this is also a major problem facing the Congress, and if this matter is not handled well, the military will not listen to the Congress.

Zheng Shanxing put forward a very important suggestion, that is, to arrange some retired soldiers to work as craftsmen in the arsenal.

The arsenal is already decided not to take back the state, the reason is simple, there is no money.

But judging from the trend of weapon development, the knife and bow are not so important, the key is the Guanlong Arsenal, therefore, the Congress and the Guanlong Arsenal reached an agreement, firstly, that the technology cannot be leaked and supervised by the imperial court, secondly, the imperial court will be the only buyer of the arsenal, you cannot sell it to private individuals, and finally, the workers of the arsenal must be mainly veterans.

And also with those who have business with the imperial court, signed the same contract, must be veterans as the first choice, otherwise, the court will choose to cooperate with others.

The beauty of freedom, the Chubby Group can be among them.

This salary is certainly much higher than that of the Forbidden Army.

But this is not enough, because more than 100,000 standing troops will have to be reduced.

Yuan Zhe put forward a suggestion, that is, to expand the navy, plunder overseas resources, the reason is also very sufficient, first of all, to expand from the land, you have to go to the big food, this must be a loss-making business, the big food is also very powerful, and too far, even if you win, it is difficult to control, but the problem is that our army in the Tang Dynasty is so strong, the weapons are so advanced, it is a pity not to fight, and it will be dangerous to forget the war, secondly, why can this war be persistent, Yuanzhou and Shangzhou have played a great role, The grain there is three crops a year, and the fruits are abundant there, so we can't eat so much grain at all, so a large amount of grain is shipped to China, and we continue to expand overseas.

But there is another problem with this, that is, the Congress is for the sake of the country, not for the merchants, and it is not valid to expand the navy and plunder resources, which is the benefit of you merchants, and the soldiers cannot fight for the merchants.

The opposition is high.

Han Yi helped the Yuan family think of a way to nationalize the Nanhai Group, that is, to imitate the national bonds, issue bonds to the people, and hold them by the whole people, the more the Nanhai Group makes money, the people follow the dividends, and are willing to pay a certain amount of tariffs, this tax is actually a return to the army.

Moreover, if you want to fight a war, you need firearms, canned food, clothing, shipbuilding, coal and iron industry, which can stimulate the development of manufacturing, that is, you need to recruit more workers and promote employment.

In this way, the National Assembly finally passed this resolution and asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to amend the universal law to make it more perfect.

Not only that, but the National Assembly also gave some of the money in the treasury as a pension to the soldiers who died in battle, and at the same time assured the soldiers who had made military achievements that the reward was not a lot of money, but there was no money now, and it would be distributed to you as soon as the money was available.

All kinds of changes have made the soldiers of the forbidden army very grateful to the Congress, and they are even more eager to mix with the Congress, and they are mixed with those generals, and they also withhold our bounty, and now that the Congress is in charge, the commanders of the Tiance Mansion have not given us the bounty, so they will give it to us first.

After these few moves, the soldiers of the forbidden army immediately followed the parliament with an iron heart.
