At the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, Li Chengguang was officially canonized as the crown prince.

Li Jing, Wei Zheng, and Ma were appointed as auxiliary ministers.

There is nothing surprising that Li Chengguang was canonized as the crown prince, the imperial court was preparing more than a year ago, and most people were still satisfied with Li Chengguang's performance.

Of course, mistakes exist, but who is not a sage without fault? Besides, Li Chengguang is still young, and everyone has seen the progress of more than a year.

To be flat-chested, at this age, I can't say that I can't do better than Li Chengguang, but there are definitely not many, and those who can do it are afraid that they are not qualified to do this.

Coupled with Li Chengguang's status as the eldest son, he has invisibly won a lot of people's hearts.

There is nothing special about the Great Pilgrimage Meeting, it is all the same old process.

Don't talk about political affairs, it is to look back on the past, look forward to the future, and then it is to worship heaven and earth and other sacrificial ceremonies, and then most of the time has passed, dispersed, and each went home for the New Year, waiting for them is a half-month super long holiday, and it is also the only holiday that can let them relax.

Of course, in addition to these, the court meeting also routinely announced that the people's tax will continue to be reduced by one percent in the coming year, that is, when Li Yuanji ascended the throne, the people only need to pay thirty percent of the tax next year.

One percent a year, steady like a dog.

And the only difference in this time is that the crown prince was canonized, and many feudal kings were canonized.

And the king is also different, the same is the prince of the Yang family, and the concubine is the king of the county, but neither the prince nor the king of the county has the power to govern.

When they reach adulthood, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will provide them with funds of 500 yen each, and it is their freedom to use this money, but from now on, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will only give them a monthly living allowance of five times for the prince and three times for the prince of the county.

In fact, this fund can be regarded as the start-up capital given to them by Li Yuanji, and it is naturally the best to be able to establish a world in business, but if not, the money is enough for them to live, but if they want to continue to live in luxury, it is impossible.

Of course, the indispensable thing is naturally the palace, Longqingfang was completely demolished, and ten new palaces were built, which were assigned to seven new kings, and it will be where they will go in the future.

What the?

Do you think that Li Yuanji's support for Li Chengguang is so little? Wrong, very wrong.

It was so wrong that when the ministers learned of these actions, they all had to sigh that if Li Yuan had Li Yuanji's courage at the beginning, then the Xuanwumen incident would not have happened, and even there would not be any big contradiction between the princes.

Li Yuanji's support for Li Chengguang is absolutely unprecedented, although he is only a child who is about to enter the age of nine, but when making these decisions, Li Yuanji did not have the slightest worry or doubt.

canonized the crown prince and accepted the worship of the ministers, which also means that since then, Li Chengguang has the right to participate in politics.

And before that, Li Chengguang only listened and asked at most, and even if he said something, the ministers could choose not to listen.

But now, what he says, the minister must listen, and on the premise of not going against Li Yuanji's wishes, if he does not agree, he can refute it, but he must not listen to it freely as before, and it is also free not to refute it.

"Your Majesty, your son has something to play!" Just when everyone thought that they were going to carry out a worship ceremony, Lee Seung-kwang, who was less than nine years old, stood up.

was canonized as the crown prince, his position in the middle of the court was naturally to the left of the first row, and the original position was Shangshu's left servant, and at this time he could only go to the left one more.

The minister's position is divided into two columns, each column is divided into three rows, that is, a row of six people, subject to the middle aisle, the left and right columns, close to the aisle status is the most important, under this premise, the left side of the official is higher than the right side of the official, to the left for the respect, to the middle for the respect, this is the ancient system, Li Yuanji did not change.

As soon as he was canonized as the crown prince, he had something to play, which is to say that he was not prepared, and the ghost believed it, and although Li Chengguang was canonized as the prince, he was too young, it is conceivable that in recent years, Li Chengguang has not had many opportunities to really participate in politics, and he still listens more, learns more, and asks more questions.

No one thought that Lee Seung-gwang would suddenly stand up and play.

But obviously, everyone guessed that this should be Li Yuanji's arrangement.

"Yes!" Li Yuanji nodded without changing his face.

The ministers guessed correctly, this is indeed his arrangement, only the cabinet members really know, and the content of this recital was also completed with the help of the entire cabinet members, of course, Li Yuanji proposed, the core of Li Chengguang's operation, some of the revisions made by the ministers according to these, and the core idea of the entire content of the recital was still made by Li Chengguang.

"In the past year, Erchen has traveled to many places, some rich, some ordinary, and some poor, these places have brought different feelings to Erchen, but they have some of the same feelings.

In the past year, in addition to studying, Erchen has also been constantly consulting relevant data, and learned that there are more than 8 million elderly people over 50 years old in Datang, more than 4 million elderly people over 60 years old, and more than 800,000 elderly people over 70 years old.

Before last year, there were more than 1,300 permanent positions, including 1,000 stone scale, 100,000 stone scale 280, 200,000 stone scale 20, according to the household department of the regular closing statistics, to September last year, the average storage of 100,000 stone scale is more than 7,000 stones, the average storage of 100,000 stone is 60,000 stones, and the average storage of 200,000 is 140,000 stones.

Last year, the scale of the new 10,000 stone is often closed 300, 100,000 stone is often closed 200, 200,000 stone is often closed 50, according to the previous storage rate, after this year's summer harvest, it can be guaranteed that the previous Changping storage stock is ninety, and the new Changping storage stock is fifty percent. ”

Li Chengguang's words made many ministers confused, and it was the old man who was always closed and the amount of storage.

With the past three years of disasters and the inflow of Shanghai products, Datang's consumption of grain has indeed decreased, and with the bumper harvest of the three granaries in Zhenbei, Central Plains and Guanzhong, the amount of storage has increased year by year, which has also led to the household department having to open a regular closing position to ensure the storage of grain.

Another point, this year, the imperial court plans to open a part of the wine-making order, which is used to change lives, and consume food by the way, otherwise the grain will only be spoiled after a long time, and it is not a trivial matter to turn it over every year.

However, what does this have to do with Li Chengguang? What was his intention in mentioning this?

The ministers can't figure it out, but Li Chengguang and the cabinet ministers and Li Yuanji himself know very well that this is also where they envy Li Chengguang, there is no way, he has a good father, as long as he doesn't die, he can gain people's hearts by lying down.

"Erchen saw the hardships of life in those places, and Erchen couldn't bear to look at the large amount of grain stored in the warehouse, so he could only wait for it to be sold at a low price in a few years." There is a protective price for grain, but this protective price is not set in stone.

With the bumper harvest year after year, as more and more grain is stored, the price of grain will inevitably fall.

By this year, the price of grain has dropped to five dollars per dou, which is dozens of times lower than when Li Yuanji ascended the throne, and according to this trend, grain prices will continue to fall.

If it weren't for the protective price of grain, the imperial court would have invested a lot of money, and ordinary people would have lost even more, unless they saved it for themselves, but there were bumper harvests year after year, how much could they eat?

Grain merchants have become the least profitable industry, and now there are no grain merchants in sight, only commercial groups are still maintained on a large scale, which is not driven by interests, but by political needs.

Although it has been losing money, this loss is inevitable, but fortunately, the imperial court is also constantly lowering the protection price, which also keeps the loss to a certain extent, and does not get worse.

"The ancient sages said that when the court has the ability, it can increase some benefits to the elderly, and at the same time, in order to avoid these benefits from becoming a policy that drags down the court, it should be treated rationally, that is, to set a safety limit, once this limit is reached, when the distribution of benefits is stopped, or the distribution of benefits is reduced." Lee Seung-gwang stated his purpose.

In other words, this is what Li Yuanji said, he just made a detailed plan based on this sentence and set a reasonable boundary.

"Tell me what you think!" Li Yuanji nodded and asked.

"Erchen thinks that this policy should be adapted to local conditions, with the local standing position as the center, delineate the relevant areas, when the regular closing of the grain is higher than seventy percent, then open this policy, the grain storage is less than sixty percent, then the full stop, the specific number of distribution and the population, according to the specific grain storage situation to decide.

The sons are more inclined to give priority to the elderly over 70 years old, if the stock of food is sufficient, it will be divided according to one bucket per person per month, and if it is not enough, the amount of distribution will be lowered accordingly.

At the same time, in order to avoid fraudulent claims, it is necessary to ask the officials to close the positions and immediately review the issuing personnel at least twice within a year. Lee Seung-kwang continued.

The meaning is very clear, there are standing positions in various places, and according to their different storage quantities to decide who to send and not to whom, and the standing closing is basically one for each county, and each state has a standing position of 200,000 stones, and the new and old more than 500 and 100,000 stone positions are evenly distributed in each state.

If all the warehouses are full, those over 50 years old can basically be issued, but according to the current situation, it can barely be issued to those over 60 years old, but this will not last long, so only those over 70 years old can be issued, which can be stabilized.

Although the number of beneficiaries has decreased, once this policy comes out, regardless of whether it benefits or not, the support from the people will definitely be as fierce as a tide.

"What do you think?" Li Yuanji asked the minister.

Just kidding, is this something that the prince can bring up? Was this what he could think of? Except for your emperor's personal instructions, does the crown prince dare to say this? The ministers knew Li Yuanji's purpose, how could they dare to stop it at this time? Moreover, there are indeed too many stocks of grain in Changping, so that the imperial court has to build or expand Changping every year.

"The prince is benevolent and righteous, this is the luck of the Tang Dynasty, the luck of the people, and the ministers are no different from ......"
