It's another winter, and compared to the previous winters, this winter seems to have become normal.

Occasionally, a breeze blows, and a cold breath hits the face.

There was a snowfall, not too big and not too small, just right.

The main palace has been completely renovated into a heated house, which was heated a month in advance, and the palace is not very humid today.

Li Yuan still likes to live in Taipingfang, in the original Qi Palace.

It's not damp at all, it's warm, the buildings are pleasant to look at, and more importantly, it's all around with delicious food and fun, and you can enjoy the world without moving around.

It has become Li Yuan's winter palace, and every winter, he will spend it there.

Compared to Dou Jin's domination of the Qi Palace, Li Yuan lived there, and Li Yuanji had no opinion at all.

After three years of disaster, we are finally over, and what follows us is a new life.

Li Yuanji rarely summoned the cabinet members and some military generals to Taipingfang to drink hot pot with the two emperors.

The wine, which had been gone for an unknown amount of time, was put back on the table this time.

"Green cabbage?" Today's Li Yuan was extremely happy, his mood was comfortable, and he had a good relationship with his fourth son Li Yuanji, so that he didn't feel depressed, and when he came to the living room, he saw a lot of green vegetables on the table, and Li Yuan's eyes instantly lit up.

The appearance of the water is green, which is not much different from the green vegetables in summer, but the varieties are different.

The green vegetables of the Tang Dynasty were mostly wild vegetables, there was no specific variety, and all the green ones that could be eaten were uniformly called green vegetables.

"Where did it come from?" Li Yuan is not short of green vegetables, and there are a lot of them stored in the palace every summer, but by this time, the leaves are basically wrinkled, which is obviously not comparable to the one in front of him.

"Planted, father, Erchen wanted to plant these green vegetables a few years ago, but he didn't have time, Yu Ren's kid went to see it a few days ago, saying that these green vegetables are growing well this year, and Erchen feels that this planting method can be promoted, so that the people of Datang can also eat fresh green vegetables in winter." Li Yuanji smiled slightly, explaining calmly.

"It's freezing on this day, can you still cook green vegetables?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously.

"There's nothing that heating can't solve, and if there is, add another handful of firewood!" Li Yuanji said half-jokingly.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and secretly patted his head, how could he forget the heating?

"Tsk, how much firewood do you burn for these green vegetables......" Wei Zheng couldn't help but smack his lips, he wanted to spray it, but after thinking about it, would he still eat it? I don't seem to be too embarrassed to continue to open my mouth, so I can only express myself in a different way.

"I want Maxima again, and I don't want to pay for it, how can there be so many good things in this world?" Li Yuanji replied softly, although it was a metaphor, but it marked his attitude.

"Your Majesty, do you want to discuss something?" Cheng Zhijie posted it with a thief's face, and his smiling appearance made people feel that there was nothing good at first glance.

Cheng Zhijie, who has never been involved in anything, has stood up, which has also attracted the attention of many people, curious, too curious.

"Out of the green vegetables, everything else is negotiable!" Li Yuanji said deliberately, he couldn't read the little ninety-nine in Cheng Zhijie's heart, was this emperor still inappropriate?

The mention of Cheng Zhijie makes people angry, this product obviously has an IQ of 12, but he just pulled his IQ below the passing line, and then forcibly raised the IQ of others to 12.

This scheming is too deep, but the work is also very clear, except for self-preservation, he will not participate in other things.

......The smile on Cheng Zhijie's face instantly stiffened, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Your Majesty, for my sake, can you let me intervene?" ”

"Can't!" Li Yuanji refused unusually firmly.

"Don't, Your Majesty, even if I don't have merit, I'm a little hard, right? Just one kick, just one kick! Cheng Zhijie fully demonstrated the efficacy of kraft candy, and pleaded in front of dozens of civil and military ministers.

"Officials don't do business, business doesn't enter the business, if you just want to grow some in your own house and eat it yourself, then I can't control it, just ask Yu Ren for a way, as long as you pay the price." Li Yuanji's face gradually became serious and said, this is not just a matter of a meal, but he compares this meal to Zhuangxing wine, after eating this meal and drinking this bowl of wine, you have to open your arms and work hard, "Even if you are troublesome, I will give you some from time to time, I have planted hundreds of acres over there, which is enough for you to eat." ”

After Li Yuanji's words, Cheng Zhijie naturally didn't mention the matter of interfering.

And the atmosphere of the whole banquet also fell into a little dull.

Officials do not do business, business does not enter the business, just eight words, but set the tone for the future pattern of the world.

The family is often eaten by officials and businessmen, but now it has been forcibly pushed to the side of business by Li Yuanji, and now the old things are brought up again, it is not just a reminder, there must be a deeper meaning in it.

And who can be invited here for dinner, which one is not a high-powered bigwig? Who can't guess the meaning behind Li Yuanji's words?

"Yuanji, although this strategy is good, is there something wrong?" Others didn't dare to speak, but Li Yuan didn't have any scruples.

The idea is good, to isolate everyone and keep them out of the group to have a greater impact, but the cost of doing so is great, and it is simply not prohibited.

"It's a little inappropriate, so I thought about it, and decided that only direct relatives are subject to this restriction order, if a distant relative of the clan has crossed the line, he must first report to the imperial court, once it is found that there is favoritism and fraud, the crime will be increased by one degree." Li Yuanji nodded, there is no perfect system in this world, any dynasty, any country.

Li Yuanji also doesn't think that he can formulate a perfect system, but he can only change it as much as possible and do it as well as possible.

I still want the horse to run, and I don't give the horse grass to eat, there is no such good thing in the world, and Li Yuanji is also very clear.

When officials become the poor class, then the world will suffer, and this is the general trend of the world.

"But after all, officials are the head of the family, and they still have to support their families, and if they are forbidden to run by their direct relatives, it will inevitably cause a certain burden on their lives. So, I have an idea. Li Yuanji paused for a moment and continued: "I plan to set up a new yamen, which is specifically responsible for the assessment of hundreds of officials in the imperial court, and the assessment is not based on personal feelings, just like the imperial examination, a 100-point system, each aspect occupies a certain score, and if you do it, you will get points, and if you can't do it, you will deduct points." And I will take out a part of the money out of my own pocket, and reward different amounts of money or things according to the level of the score every year. ”

"Your Majesty can't ......," Fang Xuanling and the others hurriedly stopped it.

The idea is good, but the specific operation is too difficult, and the consequences are too great.

"How can Your Majesty ensure that all generations are as wise as Your Majesty? If Your Majesty starts this way, the future emperors can only follow suit, if it is interrupted, it will definitely bring great trouble, the court is rich and easy to say, but what if it encounters a difficulty? ”

"I'm just an idea...... Li Yuanji rolled his eyes, I've never seen anything like this or that, I don't want to give you any benefits.

But what they said is also right, they are not allowed to have a loser in the descendants, and the rules have been formed by then, if they don't give it, what will happen to the ministers below?

Li Yuanji was silent and did not mention the matter again, but the rule that officials do not do business and do not enter the business must be implemented, and as for how to solve the difficulties, Li Yuanji feels that it is better to leave it to others to worry about.

The meal is beautiful, all kinds of meat are not very good, and the green vegetables and the like are quickly eaten, for them, they don't know how long they haven't tasted the taste of green vegetables.

If they weren't embarrassed, the gang would have taken some home and continued to eat.

The wine is a good wine, and the hot pot has also been replaced with a newly planted pepper from dogwood, which is not too spicy, but it is much better than dogwood, and there is no bitter taste of dogwood, which is very popular with everyone.

At the end of the meal, the ministers also expressed their astonishment, because Li Yuanji didn't mention the business until the end of the meal?

The ministers are not idiots, they have long guessed what Li Yuanji will say today.

Sure enough, when the hot pot was withdrawn and replaced with the best red robes, the theme of this meal officially began.

"The court personnel are bloated and complicated, everyone knows about this, I asked Xuan Ling to conduct statistical screening, and it took more than a year to screen them out one by one, and I want to start implementing it next month, what do you think?" Li Yuanji sat on the main seat, Li Yuan sat next to him, and the two emperors just looked down.

"The ministers seconded it!" Just kidding, who would dare to refuse at this time?

Besides, this matter has been in a uproar for a long time, and everyone knows it, if it weren't for the continuous disasters, I am afraid that this matter would have been implemented a long time ago.

Downsizing personnel, of course, they will suffer some losses, but the biggest impact is still the family, so in fact, there is no impact on them.

"After all, this matter is not the court, I can't bear it, but I have no choice, for this reason, I thought about it for half a year, and discussed it with my father for several months, and finally got a solution." Layoffs will make people resentful, this is something that can't be helped, and the layoffs are officials, you can't say that Cai will be laid off, and laid-off workers will be bought out of their seniority, and they can't let people directly roll up the cover and get out, which is not appropriate.

Regarding this matter, he did discuss it with Fang Xuanling and Li Yuan, and he also passed his anger in the cabinet, but that was not the final conclusion.

"The vocational land does not need to be returned, it is counted as their permanent field, and the same amount of cultivated land or pasture is allocated to them in the town and state as compensation, and if anyone wants to buy the land, it will be sold to them at a price of sixty percent, but only this time. I don't want to be ashamed of everyone, and I naturally don't want everyone to be ashamed of me......"
