In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuanji left Sanyuan and went straight to Yunyang in the west.

The geographical location of Yunyang is more awkward than that of Jingyang, because it is not the main passage, and Sanyuan is the first to take advantage of it.

So the flow of people in Yunyang is even more tragic.

It was close to noon, and Li Yuanji and his entourage quietly came to Yunyang.

In fact, the situation is not much different from what I imagined.

Jingyang can still occasionally receive a few caravans at night, but Yunyang, it can be said that there is no hair here.

The city is a little lifeless, but there are also people, but mainly the people, caravans are almost invisible here, occasionally can see three or three carriages entering, but obviously, those are the ones who went to Sanyuan to buy goods and came back, are the carriages sent by the merchants themselves.

Just took a turn in the city, and in less than half an hour, Li Yuanji returned to Chang'an with people.

There is really nothing to turn around, and after a circle, all Li Yuanji can give is only four words, which is lifeless.

Before the reform, Yunyang's life was not very good, but it could be slightly made up for through the transit tax, but with the cancellation of the transit tax, it was not on the main trade route, so Yunyang was completely off at this time.

In just two days, Weifu visited three county seats, but Li Yuanji had a general understanding of the situation of the entire Tang Dynasty in his heart.

This phenomenon is not accidental, there is no seasonality, but we must find a way to change, although it is difficult, but if you don't do it, waiting for these counties that are not rich and not on the trade road are basically a dead end.

Now it is not as good as in later generations, if the economy is not good, we can build a highway, and no matter how bad it is, we can still find a way to build a railway, as long as the transportation is convenient and the policy is giving some preferential treatment, it is easy to bring in foreign funds.

But now, the highway does not exist, and although there is a railway, it is strategic, and a railway will not be built specifically for a certain county.

As for the policy, it is the same all over the world, and the local government has no authority to make these decisions, and they do not have the courage to report it.

Even if there is a local report, the imperial court will never approve it, there is no precedent for this, and there are too many places, and there are not many funds that can be invested.

It was late at night when I returned to Chang'an, and although the city gates were closed, the city had been under curfew for a long time.

But Li Yuanji, who represents the supreme imperial power, easily entered Chang'an and returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty, you're back!" As soon as the front foot entered the palace, before they had time to wash and rest, Fang Xuanling and others rushed up and found Li Yuanji with an angry face.

"Why are you still in the palace?" Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, could it be that something happened again?

"Your Majesty, how can you leave Chang'an so casually? And you only brought so many people, even Song Zhong didn't know where you went? In the past two days, the ministers have not thought about the tea and food, and they can't even sleep. Fang Xuanling muttered angrily.

No one knew about this, but yesterday Xiao Xian had something to report to the emperor, but after he came, he couldn't see anyone.

Song Zhong said that the emperor was in poor health and would not meet the minister for the time being, but the brainless Xiao Xian was about to go to the imperial doctor, but Song Zhong refused to live or die, so he naturally showed his stuffing.

Then all the ministers waited here, and sent men to wait at the gates.

No, as soon as the front foot learned the news of Li Yuanji's return, the ministers on the back foot immediately rushed over, eager to ask for an explanation.

"I'm just going outside to take a look, it's not a big deal, you all go back first, and come back tomorrow to discuss something." Li Yuanji waved his hand indifferently.

"Why can't Your Majesty see the seriousness of this matter? If Your Majesty has something, you can send someone to solve it, if you can rest assured, you can also notify the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War is ready to go out again, so rashly left the palace, if something happens to Your Majesty outside, what will happen to Datang? As the emperor, Your Majesty should be responsible for Datang, and Your Majesty does not attach importance to himself so much, how can he be responsible for Datang? How does this make the people of Datang entrust their lives to His Majesty? Wei Zheng pointed at Li Yuanji with a serious face and scolded angrily.

Although he entered the cabinet, he only had the right to vote, and he still had no real power or anything.

Li Yuanji did many things very measured and appropriate, so he couldn't find any reason to admonish.

Now that Li Yuanji has given him such a good reason, and the other ministers don't dare to talk nonsense, how can Wei Zheng let go of this opportunity? What about the Emperor? Of course, it's a slam to catch it, don't put your doubts in life, and promise not to make the same mistakes again, even if I lose.

"Good! Good! Good! In the future, if I go out again, I will bring more people with me. Li Yuanji, who had a headache when he listened, couldn't help but beg for mercy again and again.

Wei Zheng is a mad dog, but he doesn't bite the innocent person of this mad dog, but whoever he thinks is wrong, he will be severely criticized, the kind that splits his head and covers his face.

He doesn't care if you are the emperor or the minister, this is what he does, it is not much different from the imperial history, if you don't impeach people, where will your political achievements come from? How can you highlight your importance?

With such a person by his side, it may be a little uncomfortable for Li Yuanji, but in the long run, this is definitely a good thing, at least when he stands up, you will seriously consider whether this matter is feasible?

Weifu private interview, Li Yuanji doesn't think it's a big deal, and besides, he didn't go out to find trouble, just around Chang'an, dealing with ordinary people, even if he encounters something unpleasant, he won't force his head, there is no danger at all.

Besides, this is not the next generation, a TV can make you an old acquaintance of the people of the whole country in an instant, the current emperor, even if he walks on the street, no one can recognize it, provided that there is no place like Chang'an.

Seeing that Li Yuanji made a guarantee, the ministers reluctantly left the palace.

……

Following!

Although Li Yuanji had already said that it was later, the ministers still came to the cabinet on time, and as soon as the emperor returned, a cabinet meeting would be held, what did it mean?

At least everyone thinks it's probably not a small matter.

Because Li Yuanji is the kind of person who is too lazy to even skip regular meetings, everything that is convened on his own initiative must be something important, although some things they don't think are very big, but they do have a certain impact on the entire situation.

"In the past two days, I have gone to Jingyang, Sanyuan, and Yunyang, and I have talked with the officials of the government, and I have also talked with the vendors who trafficked goods, and I have also learned some of the thoughts of the people, and I have a deep feeling!" At the beginning of the meeting, Li Yuanji directly stated his itinerary for the past two days.

"One is dying, one is taking the opportunity to grow, and the other is waiting for death! These three places basically represent the situation of all states and counties in the entire Datang, some places close to official roads and good locations are not very careful, and their incomes will be higher than before, while those who are not on the main official roads, or the geographical location is not good, life will be more difficult than before. The day before yesterday, the emperor Fu Shangshu told me that the following states and counties were crying poor, and there were people asking for money everywhere, and I didn't believe it a little, but this trip, I believed it, but I was also a little helpless, and some hated that iron could not become steel. Li Yuanji continued to talk about his feelings about the trip.

In fact, many things are not really unknown, but it depends on whether you have the heart and whether you really want to understand.

Li Yuanji didn't believe in the so-called research in later generations, if they could really investigate the problem, the sows would go up the tree.

Even in some places, a perfect research path has been carefully created, no matter who comes, no matter what you want to know, you can investigate all the results by walking this line, and this result is actually perfect.

But after leaving this line, you will find that in fact, we really want to live in the news. Join. In the sowing, the house prices will never rise, the vegetables will always be assured, the wages will never be spent, the people there are very happy, no matter what it is, there will always be someone in a hurry to help, even if you have no money, someone will send you money, don't want it, don't be in a hurry to pay it back.

It is precisely because I know these that I have a private interview with the microservice, without notifying anyone, without saying anything, and a private interview with the microservice that says go.

"There will inevitably be a period of pain in the reform, and if you go deeper, it is better to say that it is not in the throes of the states and counties near the official road, the three places have given me three different feelings, Sanyuan is doing the best, the economy is more prosperous than before, there are a lot of people, and even imitating the north of the town has also built a large market in Sanyuan, in order to promote the conclusion of the transaction, even special care has been given to these caravans, after the curfew, you can be escorted back to the inn by the officials, these are good, as long as they are within the control, you can try.

But what made me feel most relieved was Jingyang, although it was in the same official road, but the geographical location did not have any advantage, resulting in all the caravans running to Sanyuan. But they still didn't give up, and still came up with ways to win over the caravan by reducing prices, although the effect was not good, but at least the original intention was good and the direction was right.

As for Yunyang, maybe I stayed there for too short, so I couldn't see anything, so I won't comment on this for the time being.

Reform must continue, and we must continue to develop the good side and gradually change the bad side. But people's energy is limited after all, and you are responsible for enough things now, so I plan to transfer Ma Zhou back, he has been with me for the longest time, and he has been in contact with these things the most, and no one is more suitable for this than him. As he spoke, Li Yuanji still said the point.

The private interview of Weifu is the key, and it is also the key to see the problem, but the biggest focus is to transfer Ma Zhou back.

It is not a problem to transfer a governor back, as long as the emperor mentions it, the minister will inevitably agree, and no one will disagree.

But Li Yuanji's transfer of Ma Zhou back is not as simple as transferring back.
