Smooth concrete streets, neat attics scattered on both sides of the road, everywhere is full of people, showing the image of prosperity.

Li Yi walked leisurely on Suzaku Street, looking at it from time to time, this time he did not ride the dust, but planned to walk, seeing that Yang Gonggong did not object, knowing that Li Er was not in a hurry, he simply hurried slowly.

The main thing is that he wants to sort out his thoughts, this time Li Er suddenly called him to go, it is definitely not a bad thing, otherwise it is impossible for Yang Gonggong not to leak any information to him, but it is definitely not a good thing, he has had a lot of good things recently, and it is impossible to have them again!

Li Yi estimated what kind of drudgery it was, Li Er has been very busy recently, and he has won the battle at the border pass, so he will be busy taking care of the aftermath, the reward that should be rewarded, and the punishment that should be punished! And he now has to set the tone for the future development of Datang, after all, now Datang has entered a golden period of rapid development, and he must deal with it carefully, Li Er actually summoned him in such a busy situation, it can be seen that the matter is not small, so Li Yi wants to be ready now, and he will be caught off guard for a while.

"Little Marquis, why don't we speed up our steps? Are you still waiting? ”

Seeing that Li Yi was relieved, Yang Gonggong urged loudly.

"Good! Let's speed up! After thinking about it, he took out a bag and said to Yang Gonggong: "Thank you father-in-law for taking care of it, there are some scattered copper coins here, you can take it to drink tea!" ”

Gonggong Yang was not polite either, and took it with a smile. "Hehe, the old slave thanked you!"

The two of them smiled tacitly and said no more. Like Yang Gonggong, they also have the ability to see when they receive gifts, don't look at them as if they are open-eyed to see money, in fact, these people are good in their hearts! Who is good at money, who can't collect money, who can only collect money and not do things, who can only do things without collecting money! They all have a shot in their hearts that like Li Yi has won the favor of the emperor, so they have the bottom of their hearts when they collect money, and even if they are replaced by other people, it is estimated that they will only do things and not collect money, because they all have to please Li Yi, and Yang Gonggong is different, because he and Li Yi have known each other for a long time and are also acquaintances, so Yang Gonggong knows Li Yi and knows that he is the most annoying and polite, so he is not polite!

There was no word all the way, and after a short time, Yang Gonggong took Li Yi to the Qianqiu Palace, and when he saw that it was the Qianqiu Palace, Li Yi's face was also a little solemn, because Li Er had rules for doing things, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, where to summon the ministers, there were rules, and the Qianqiu Hall was the most formal in this, so Li Yi estimated that today's matter would not be small.

After the briefing, Li Yi walked in.

Entering the hall, I saw that there were only Li Er, Fang Xuanling and a historian inside, and there was no palace maid, and it seemed that they were deliberating.

Seeing Li Yi come in, Li Er hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and didn't let him salute.

"Boy, do you know what I'm looking for you?" Li Yifang sat down, and Li Er went straight to the point, it seems that this matter is indeed very urgent.

Li Yi pondered for a moment, then said tentatively: "It should be about the captivity!" ”

Li Er was slightly surprised. "It seems that this matter really has something to do with you, yesterday Daozong came to report, saying that there were nearly 40,000 captives on his side, and asked me how to deal with it, and it was revealed that this matter was your suggestion, it seems that there is really such a thing, what kind of trick are you kid doing? What's the use of having so many captives? ”

Li Yi said in his heart Sure enough, if this is the case, he is really a little prepared. "Uncle Li, how did you deal with this captive before?"

Li Er glanced at Fang Xuanling, and Fang Xuanling explained: "Last year, my Tang Dynasty pacified the Eastern Turks and captured nearly 100,000 people. It is to concentrate the Turks in the area close to the Central Plains, appoint the captive leaders as the official positions of our dynasty, and respect their previous customs, and exercise regional autonomy for them, that is, the Turks are not only tribal peoples, but also the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they only need to pay a certain amount of tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year. ”

Li Yi nodded, he had also heard of this prefecture, and I have to say that this is a very good policy, and it is precisely by relying on this policy that Li Shimin has the great national unity of the "Hu Yue family" in the early Tang Dynasty, and it has also achieved his reputation as a heavenly khan.

Li Er also nodded. "Yes, since ancient times, there has been no immortal. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Liaozuo. People are poor and the country is defeated, which is the reason. Besides, it is inexhaustible. Therefore, I do not want to adopt the same overly hard-line policy as before. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and this policy, once implemented, will be of great benefit in all respects. Politically, the establishment of the prefecture greatly expanded and maintained the territory of our dynasty. Economically, the establishment of the prefecture has promoted the economic exchange and development of different ethnic groups. Culturally, all ethnic groups learn from each other, are inclusive, and learn from each other's strengths. And the most reliable way to solve the alien race is tantamount to assimilation, that is, to influence the culture of the alien race with the culture of my Tang Dynasty, let them learn Chinese characters, speak Chinese, etc., so that after a long time, they only know what the Tang people are, and they don't know what the Turks are, which is indeed a good way to cure the roots! ”

Li Er stroked his beard and smiled. "Assimilation, haha, this is a good word, and Yi Boy summed it up more well and comprehensively."

"Yes, it's a good way to do it. However, it was already very difficult to arrange more than 100,000 people from the Eastern Turks last time, and more than 80,000 people came this time, which is not a nation, and it is very difficult to do! ”

Li Yi smiled confidently. "Is it difficult? I don't think so? ”

Li Er's eyebrows raised. "Stinky boy, if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush."

"Hehe, Uncle Li, don't be in a hurry, let's talk about another thing first, I don't know what Uncle Li thinks about the demise of the Qin Dynasty?"

Seeing that Li Yi didn't talk about the prisoners, but talked about the Qin Dynasty, Li Er and Fang Xuanling were a little confused, but they all knew that Li Yi's words must have a deep meaning, so they followed Li Yi's meaning.

"Hehe, boy, tell me your understanding first!"

Li Yi did not shirk. "According to the little nephew, the fall of the Qin Dynasty can be summarized in four points."

"Oh?"

The two of them suddenly became interested, and their bodies kept their bodies glued, staring at Li Yi tightly, wanting to hear what Li Yi could say.

"A heavy conscription. Second, heavy taxes. 3. Cruel criminal law. Fourth, the legal system is rigid, the system cannot keep pace with the times, and the law enforcement is too simple and crude. Of course, it is inseparable from the embarrassment of Qin II, Zhao Gao and others. But the main thing is the first four points! ”

As soon as Li Yi's voice fell, Li Er and Fang Xuanling were startled, they had also summarized the reasons for the fall of the Qin Dynasty before. But it is not as systematic and comprehensive as Li Yi's summary, but if you think about it carefully, what Li Yi said is indeed very reasonable.

Li Er sighed slightly. "Conscription? Taxes? Criminal law? System? Hehe, you kid really hit the nail on the head! This sums it up, not bad! ”

Fang Xuanling was also full of admiration. "Yes! Your Majesty, the progress of every dynasty is inseparable from summarizing the experience of the previous dynasty, and what Yi Xiaozi summarized is indeed the inevitable cause and effect of the change of all dynasties! ”

"It's just that, Yi boy, what does this have to do with conscription?"

Li Yi smiled. "Your Majesty, if you want not to repeat the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty. Then, the above four points must be addressed. And the above four points, the second, tax, this, we can gradually transfer the tax to the commercial tax, the future commercial tax is the main source of national taxes, and in this way, it can reduce the pressure on farmers, which is equivalent to light taxes, of course, this is the later story, to do this, we still have a long way to go. The third and fourth, that is, the criminal law and the system, these two boys can't do anything, and we can only cross the river by feeling the stones, but as long as we maintain the people-oriented, there will never be any problems with him! ”

Li Er and Fang Xuanling were very excited when they heard the light in their eyes, and Li Yi's words could be regarded as giving them a clear way.

To give the two of them a little buffer time, Li Yi threw out the bomb he had prepared for half a day. "The first three points are all long-term matters, but the first point can be solved immediately! Uncle Li, Uncle Fang, you say, what will happen if my Datang abolishes the forced labor system? ”

"What?" Li Er and Fang Xuanling suddenly stood up from their seats in shock.
