Chapter 534: The Bane of Troubled Times

"This problem must be solved, and there must be no delay!" Fang Xuanling frowned deeply and continued: "When necessary, you can let the development province stop and slow down!" ”

There was silence among the ministers, no one responded loudly, and no one said no.

The problem is indeed very serious, so serious that all of them do not realize it, and the problem has already crept in.

The most feared thing about imperial power is the decline of influence.

If an emperor loses his appeal, then what hope does the empire have?

Even if everything is going on for the better now, if it continues, who can guarantee that one day, they will do something more out of the ordinary?

The problem is not discovered by these ministers.

It was Shangguanyi who first found out, and then he contacted several surrounding counties and asked them about the situation there, which was better than Jingyang County on the whole, but not much better.

If no one responded on the first day, it was not a trivial matter and needed to go home to discuss, then it was understandable, but on the second day, the third day, and even now on the fifth day, there was still no local aboriginal who responded to the call, which is enough to explain the problem.

On the contrary, the number of people who have migrated has reached 25 households and more than 300 people.

The number of people is not large, but considering that this is a nationwide recruitment order, and only about 150,000 people are recruited, it is even certain that even some of these 25 households will not be able to leave.

Whether it's a migratory or a local native, it's a good thing that someone signs up.

If Shangguan Yi doesn't mention this matter, for a while, no one will find out about the problem, for Shangguan Yi, whether it is political achievements or thoughts, it is enough for him to go to the next level next year.

But he didn't want to fool the past like this, in this way, it would only hurt Datang in the end.

Moreover, Li Yuanji is not the kind of person who can't listen to advice, provided that what you say is reasonable and evidence-based, not hearsay.

After waiting for five days, Shangguan Yi was investigating, thinking, summarizing, and then wrote a petition and a preliminary investigation plan, and reported it to Li Daozong, the pastor of Yongzhou, who seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem after reading it.

Although he is not qualified to directly meet the emperor in this official position, he himself is an imperial family, and it is not difficult for him to ask to meet the emperor.

Then, the imperial court spent two more days conducting spot checks on 20 counties in Guanzhong with different conditions, and found that more than 80 percent of them were the same or extremely similar to Shangguanyi's investigation plan, and Shangguanyi's guess was also true.

So, on the eighth day after the recruitment order was issued, the imperial court had this meeting, a temporary cabinet meeting.

It is impossible to overthrow Li Yuanji's throne, and his influence in the army is unparalleled, so they can only consider and think of ways in a proper manner.

"A person gets too many things that don't belong to him, so he starts to inflate himself, and he doesn't even think about what makes him get these things." Ma Zhou nodded, this was the first time he thought that the pace of the development province should stop and rest.

In other words, the strategy of the development ministry is about to begin to change.

The idea is good, and the approach is correct, but they ignore the most critical point, and this point, mainly if they can think about it more at the beginning, they may avoid it.

In the past, people from the landlord's family would not go to military service or labor.

The court had rules, and they had money, so they were willing to pay for the time they should have taken on these obligations in order to gain their freedom.

Ordinary people have no money and are reluctant, so they have to go to voluntary labor.

After a long time, everyone will get used to it, and no one will think that this is unfair.

Now it is the same, they have become accustomed to this kind of good life, and are no longer willing to give, to give, to sacrifice.

If all people in a country think this way, the consequences will be dire.

Emigration from developed areas is not the original intention of the imperial court, even if there are really many people who sign up, in the end they will not be allowed to go too much, more people are drawn from those poor areas to leave.

The departure of these people gives them a new livelihood and makes a certain living space for those who stay, which is a win-win situation.

It's one thing to dare to do it, and it's another thing to dare to stand up.

But now, no one responds, they don't think about something deeper, they don't even want to do superficial work.

Shangguan Yi's letter of guilt was like a slap in the face of these cabinet members, which was not only the mistake of Shangguan Yi alone, but also the mistake of the entire court and the emperor.

This is a very serious problem, in order to improve the economy, improve the living standards of the people, but at the expense of the influence of the emperor and the government.

This price is too heavy, so heavy that it may be pulled into the entire Datang as a funeral.

It was they who single-handedly sent Datang to the road to the top, and they didn't want it to be the same of them, leaving a huge hidden danger for the decline of Datang.

Li Yuanji had a headache, a special headache.

At this moment, he finally understood why future generations would continue to set up models and establish positive energy, and even as a civilian, Li Yuanji felt that he was a little mad.

Because of the needs of the country and the needs of the nation, once there is no such positive energy, and the whole society is full of negative energy, then the country will lose its vitality and hope.

The problem now is not as serious as that of later generations, but it is no less serious, and it has reached the point where it has to be taken seriously and taken seriously.

"The development of the province does not need to stop, but the strategy needs to be changed, the resources are split, and under the premise of enough to change the status quo, as many counties as possible can be developed, I do not want to see such a situation happen again, I do not want to see someone get rich overnight, thus losing themselves, losing the dignity and responsibility of the nation. I don't want to see those people who should be alive and well, but they are forced to have no way out by their livelihoods, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of my flesh, and I will not be kind to each other anymore. Li Yuanji said a little calmly, and he was also reflecting.

But no matter how he introspects, this problem is unsolvable, unless he can let go of everything now, let the Tang Dynasty go back to the past, and leave the problem to future generations to solve, and he is only quietly a boring emperor.

The times must develop, the society must progress, the economy must be developed, and the people's pockets must be rich.

It means that people will not be reluctant to buy meat to eat, nor will they be reluctant to buy a ticket to visit relatives, because they have money in their hands, even if they are poor, they will not be poorer than now.

At that time, industrialization had basically been initially rolled out, and there would be more and more jobs, and there would be more and more places to make money.

Even if a solution is found to solve this problem temporarily, what about later?

If we can't go to the root this time, we can't completely wake up the people of Datang, let them re-establish a sense of crisis, and re-understand themselves, decades later, this scene will still recur.

The fall of a dynasty is never due to the invasion of external enemies, but to the collapse of its own internal enemies, which are only additional factors and cannot be the real cause.

"I've already decided on this matter, let's disperse, what to do, do what you want, do what you do, don't think too much." Li Yuanji sighed.

It's very helpless, and the troubled times should be reused.

Now is not a troubled time, but it has laid the groundwork for the troubled times in the future, Li Yuanji does not have so many ideological constraints, and he will not be as self-sustaining as other emperors.

As an emperor from the commoners, many things that the nobles could not accept, but Li Yuanji did not feel that he could not accept them.

Although this decision will be stopped and denied by many people, he still has to do it.

He wants to deal with this matter with heavy canons, and he wants to completely wake up the people of Li who have been invaded and occupied by a good life, so that they can regain a sense of crisis and rekindle the blood in their hearts to serve the country.

Li Yuanji's decision has left many people a little confused, is his so-called decision to split the resources and use the resources of one county to develop two counties, so as to delay the development of a region and leave them enough time to buffer, adapt, and compete with other counties?

This is a solution, but it is not the best policy.

But Li Yuanji didn't say the specific method, and he didn't even reveal the slightest, everyone didn't know what he was going to do next, even Ma Zhou didn't know.

Ma Zhou just felt that this matter was far from being so simple, and there would definitely be more serious and evil consequences.

……

"How much surplus does the Inner Mansion have this year?" Leaving the cabinet, Li Yuanji asked Song Zhong behind him.

"Your Majesty, there are about 50,000 or so left." Song Zhong responded directly.

This money has been accumulated over the past few years, and it is the part paid by the business group, and the remaining money after deducting the needs of the royal family that year and some additional advances, has been saved year by year, and now it has reached the figure of 50,000 yuan.

If you add the 20,000 guan in Luozhou Taipingfang before, it is 70,000 guan, and the average annual accumulation of 14,000 guan in the five years of power, this speed is not fast, but it is not slow.

"I remember that there seems to be a big move on the side of the business group this year, right?" Li Yuanji remembered such an incident, Luo Chen seemed to have said this at the beginning, but he forgot a little bit.

"There is such a thing, the commercial group made a lot of profits last year, and according to the rules, it should be handed over to the inner government more than 60,000 yuan, and at that time Luo Chen said the plan and request, His Majesty agreed to Luo Chen's request, and only handed over 10,000 yuan as His Majesty's needs this year, and the rest remained in the commercial group for development."

"You go and tell Luo Chen, the plan that has already begun, use this year's profits to solve, the plan that has not started, all suspended, in addition, without affecting the normal operation of the group, all the remaining money will be handed over to the inner government......" Li Yuanji nodded, the two sides add up, 100,000 guan is there, if you squeeze it, 1230,000 guan is still no problem, although it is a little insufficient, but in the early stage, it is still enough.
