Chapter 142: Leapfrogging Thinking (I)
Leaving from the left guard, Li Chengqian staggered towards the Li main hall, although Lao Li has not yet gone down to the court, but if he turns himself in early, he can at least strive for a 'leniency'.
At the beginning, I promised Lao Li not to kill Wang Wenzhao's goods, but now I can't hold back for a while, and I am likely to be killed by myself, so I must come to say hello to the old man in advance.
Li Chengqian, who had a childhood experience, understood that the old man in the family was not afraid that his son would cause trouble outside, but he was afraid that he would not tell the truth when he came back from causing trouble, so most of the reasons for being beaten were because of lying!
When he arrived at the Lizheng Palace, Li Chengqian didn't go to Empress Changsun, but just found a corner outside the old man's 'office', a corner where he could see the outside and couldn't see the inside at once.
Under the strange gaze of the guard, he sat on the ground without any manners, and after glaring back at the guard who was looking at him, Li Chengqian held his chin and thought about how to deal with Lao Li's 'storm' for a while.
After about half an hour, Li Chengqian heard a faint sound of conversation outside, so he got up from the ground, patted his buttocks, walked to the door of the old man's office, and stood up in an orderly manner, waiting for the old man to arrive.
"I've seen my father, I've seen my uncle, I've seen your uncle." Giving a salute to Lao Li and several bigwigs who came back with him, Li Chengqian once again stood aside honestly.
"Prince, are you well?" Li Er stared at Li Chengqian for a while, and asked quietly.
"Back to my father, it's already good." Li Chengqian said obediently.
"What's the matter?" Li Er asked meaningfully.
"It's not a big deal, the father's affairs are important, and the sons will go to the queen mother first." Li Chengqian glanced at the ministers behind Lao Li and said.
"Forget it, you can come in too, follow along." Lao Li thought for a while and left Li Chengqian behind.
"Whoa." Li Chengqian's face doesn't matter, just listen to it, and listen to cross talk.
Lao Li's 'office' is not small, enough to sit more than a dozen people, but the position and height of the sitting are a little particular.
The courtiers can't sit taller than Lao Li, and Li Chengqian, a small doll, can't sit taller than those important ministers, so when it's his turn, there is only a small brocade pier (if you don't have a concept, you can understand it as a small bench).
So Lao Li, who was sitting behind the table, except for proving that this kid still existed through the crown on Li Chengqian's head, couldn't see his shadow at all - Ya had been completely blocked by the big table.
"Mowgli, how is the research on the salt law?" As soon as he sat down, Lao Li's voice came from overhead.
Unexpectedly, what Lao Li wanted to discuss today turned out to be the salt law.
"Your Majesty, this matter has been calculated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the law of official collection, commercial transportation, and commercial sale is indeed feasible." The eldest grandson Wuji replied.
Even if there is no example to prove it a hundred years later, it can be proved that it is a good method by relying solely on the food and salary of more than 10,000 people after the implementation of the new salt law.
The people sitting in the 'office' are all old fritters of officialdom, how can they not understand the benefits of the new salt law.
It's just that if it is implemented, it is inevitable to cut off a large number of salt officials and salt dings, which will damage the interests of a large number of people, so how to balance the interests of these people is the focus of these old men's discussions.
"Xuan Ling, do you think this matter is feasible?" Li Er turned his gaze to Fang Xuanling.
"The minister thinks that the eldest grandson is now feasible, I'm afraid it's a little early, you need to know that tens of thousands of salt Ding have lost their duties all of a sudden, but I'm afraid that there will be chaos." Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"What's the mess? Is it still reasonable for those salt dices and salt officials to eat vegetarian meals all day long? Xiao Yu took Fang Xuanling's words and said angrily.
The old guy is this stubborn temper, ignoring the actual situation, blindly pursuing the ideal idea, and admitting death. has been in the court for many years, but I don't know that there are things in the local state capital that can't be handled reasonably.
So the old guy's words, Li Er decisively didn't pick up, but just turned his gaze to Du Ruhui: "What about Keming?" If you have any ideas, let's talk about them. ”
"The minister agrees with the opinion of the eldest grandson, but there are some details that need to be considered." In the end, he is an old fox in the officialdom, and the meaning in his words is the same as Fang Xuanling, but it is much more tactful.
"The minister believes that since it is beneficial to the country, it will be promulgated and implemented, and some detailed problems can be solved slowly from a long-term perspective." Seeing Lao Li's gaze, the eldest grandson Wuji consciously spoke.
"The eldest grandson has been an official for many years, don't you know the truth of taking precautions, if you don't think about how to deal with it in advance, once something happens, what should you do?" Fang Xuanling still insists on his own point of view, believing that it is important to stabilize people's hearts first.
"Okay, don't argue, now discuss whether this law is feasible, not when it will be enforced." Li Er knocked on the table to stop the argument of several people.
"The minister thinks it's feasible." "The minister thinks it's feasible."
"That's fine, prince, what about the prince?" Li Er originally wanted to ask Li Chengqian what he thought of this matter, but after looking around, he found that the person was gone.
"Son, son, son is here." A small head popped out from the front of the desk.
Li Chengqian listened to the old men arguing, and actually regarded Lao Li's 'office' as a court, and unconsciously hung his head and fell asleep. The hair crown, which could still be seen through the table, disappeared immediately, and Lao Li thought he had sneaked away.
Looking at Li Chengqian's sleepy eyes, Lao Li was angry, and he just slept in the court, and now he actually slept in Lao Tzu's 'office'.
"How does the prince think the matter of salt ding and salt officials should be solved?" The angry old Li changed the matter of the salt law that he originally wanted to ask about to the treatment of salt, and waited for Li Chengqian to answer if he couldn't answer, and then repaired him well.
"It's good to be transferred to the water superintendent, and the dredging of many rivers and canals has to be dealt with." Li Chengqian replied without blinking an eye.
was thinking about using bad luck to complete the south-to-north grain diversion but no one cleaned up the river, so Lao Li sent tens of thousands of people, how could he not make good use of it.
"Ugh. Dredging? Lao Li blinked his eyes, and he couldn't understand how Li Chengqian could jump from the salt method to clean up the river.
"Yes, Father, didn't Uncle Fang just say to take precautions? At present, the siltation of the river is becoming more and more serious, so it is better to clean it up in advance to save frequent floods in the future. Li Chengqian's eyes squeezed around and said,
There is no way, the fire has been big these days, and I just slept for a while, but I made a bunch of eye feces out, and I didn't dare to wipe it with my fingers in front of Lao Li, so I could only squeeze my eyes around to see if I could squeeze them off.
