Chapter 259: End of the Year

Since he had already said it, Feng Daiwen picked up Li Chengqian and said as he walked: "The people under him, with their abilities, the incompetent people are useless to stay, so it is better to make other arrangements."

The person who snorts and slaps the horse is useless except for bringing bad officials, and the prince, as the prince, is not important to lead people, but to learn all kinds of knowledge, only learn more, see more, naturally have a transparent heart, see people and things to the essence, and know at a glance whether it is good or bad. ”

"Hmmm! Brother-in-law's words were taken to heart, and he should think about them when he went back. Li Chengqian listened carefully, nodded and said.

"In fact, you don't have to think too much, just let it be, the important thing for people to live is to be happy, do what they like the most, this can be done well, such as those who love carpentry, you let him go to iron, I'm afraid the achievement is always limited." Feng Daiwen did not want to continue the discussion, but guided him from another aspect.

After all, Li Chengqian still has to be the prince for a long time, and if he doesn't have an optimistic and cheerful heart, he can't do it.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Chengqian left after going to visit Guang'an.

Next, Feng Daiwen understood why Qu Tuquan said that he was busy yesterday, although Chang'an City is big, but for the Xungui family, it is still easy to find out a news.

Feng Daiwen has just come back for one night, and today he has received many invitations, condolences, and many friends and acquaintances.

As soon as Li Chengqian left, the eldest brother Feng Daizhi came, the same request, the same formula; Feng Daizhi hadn't left yet, and his father-in-law, Wei Chi Gong, had come again, and he was also asking for others, so his attitude was a little mild.

Other people who knew him also came to the door one after another, and in the end, Feng Daiwen had to release the news and all queued up for the goods, and then closed the door of the house and did not see the guests, and he hid in the house to accompany his wife and wife.

…………

At the end of each year, there is a big meeting of the imperial court, which is the official statistics of the three provinces and six ministries of the year, and the income and expenditure are reported to the emperor; Then there was the plan for the state for the second year, and the emperor's own requirements for the new year.

Everything is prioritized, a plan is made before the year, and the plan begins to be executed after the year.

"Zhenguan's three-year income is more than 85 million yuan, grain, silk cloth, silk, etc. totaling more than 9,200 yuan, including more than 20 million yuan in commercial taxes, 45 million yuan in the official income of the imperial court, and the rest is seized in Wadao.

Grain income in Gangnam Province ............"

In addition to the three provinces and six ministries, there are also local governors who have returned to Beijing to report on their work, and Feng Daiwen is naturally also among them, listening to the year-end report of Sun Wuji, the head of the household department.

"Zhenguan's three-year money and grain are three times that of last year, and more than ten times that of Wude's eight years, and the minister is a saint!" The eldest grandson Wuji read the report in his hand in a subdued voice, and after reading it, he congratulated Li Shimin loudly and handed the watch over.

Li Shimin didn't have much joy on his face, took the report and put it aside and said: "I read this table all night yesterday, and I was really happy at first, but after reading it carefully, I found that there were many problems. ”

"Hadith!" The eldest grandson Wuji thought that he had done something wrong, so he couldn't help but change his face and bowed his head and said.

"You don't have to blame yourself for the auxiliary machine, I don't blame you, I looked at it carefully a few times, compared it, and found that in many places, whether it is food or others, the income has not increased much, especially in some remote places, which are far from the same." Li Shimin said with a calm face.

"The ministers also thought about this matter, and there were two reasons, one was that the population in remote areas was insufficient and the places were barren, and the other was that the officials did not understand the new farming methods, and the promotion was not effective, so the people naturally did not know." The eldest grandson and old fox breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and directly pushed the responsibility to two or five or six, obviously thinking about it for a long time.

"Humph! Poor promotion, check! With the Ministry of Officials, the Imperial Historical Observatory inspects all places, not only to check local corruption, but also to check whether its ability is qualified, to see if it is a problem with local officials or the Ministry of Industry, if you don't have the ability, let it out, I don't need a corpse vegetarian! Once discovered, all of them were degraded to teach Mengtong to read and write. Of course, Li Shimin was not satisfied with this answer, and said with a cold snort.

"Obey the order!" Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, and Dai Guan, the secretary of the ministry, immediately got up to receive the order.

As soon as he got angry, Li Shimin calmed down and asked: "In addition to strict investigation, what other suggestions do you have for Aiqing?" ”

"The minister thinks that no matter whether he has the ability or not, the imperial court should send more officials to various places to guide and publicize, so that the people can understand how to do it and how many benefits there are." Fang Xuanling got up and arched his hand.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the personnel can be concentrated, there is no need to waste manpower in too barren places, and whether it is Shuofang or Liaoxi, you can see the advantages of centralized operation." Xiao Yu got up and agreed.

"The ministers seconded it!" The others looked at each other and said in unison.

"Good! Since they all agreed, it was so arranged. Li Shimin glanced and nodded.

Li Jing saw that everyone else was not talking, Li Shimin also looked at him, knowing that it was time for him to appear, and also took out a booklet from his body and opened it and read: "After two years of rectification, Datang now has 450,000 elite soldiers, including 40,000 Khitan people, 60,000 Turkic people, 15,000 Hui people, 50,000 soldiers of various ethnic groups in Shuzhong, Nanzhao, Lingnan and other places, of which the town guards ............

The 400,000 soldiers in various prefectures can be conscripted at any time, and only 60,000 troops can be mobilized. ”

"That is to say, now Datang has no troops to go to the army, what is the plan of the Ministry of War regarding the adjustment of troops." Li Shimin took the booklet handed by Li Jing and put it aside, and asked with a frown.

"The saint is wise, the military department plans to train 100,000 new elite soldiers after the year, and the iron ore mining in western Liaoning will be able to equip a large number of soldiers in one year." Li Jing arched his hand.

"The minister seconded the proposal! The large iron mines in western Liaoning need time to be mined and forged, and if there is a year, it is enough to equip tens of thousands of heavily armored soldiers. Feng Daiwen agreed.

Li Shimin has been on the battlefield for a long time, and naturally understands what the concept of tens of thousands of heavy armor is, his Xuanjia army belongs to the heavy armored cavalry, at the beginning, 3,000 people can kill a few in and out of the 100,000 army, disrupt the enemy formation, as long as there are 20,000 heavy cavalry, Li Shimin dares to say that he is not afraid of any enemy.

Even if it is all infantry troops, it is also a group of iron lumps, judging from the current enemies of the Tang Dynasty, only tens of thousands of them need to be pushed sideways, and the field battle is invincible.

"Good! I'm waiting for a year, and I'm sending 100,000 Japanese slaves to mine with all my might, and make as many weapons and armor as possible. Li Shimin's eyes were shining, and he said vigorously.

"The minister thinks it's inappropriate, to ensure that the people cultivate, iron tools are indispensable, and the construction of palaces, markets, and ships requires a lot of steel, and you can't ignore the people's livelihood because of the military, after all, the Tang Dynasty is not in a hurry to fight at present." Xiao Yu stood up and objected.

"Xiao Gong's words are reasonable, and the minister seconded it!" Fang Xuanling has always been very supportive of the correct opinions, and the Tang Dynasty is changing with each passing day, in his opinion, the development of people's livelihood is the key, as for the military, there is no hurry.
