After installing Hou Junji and the eyeliner around him, Li Jiancheng all his energy was to raise food and grass for the Western Expeditionary Army, and on this day, Neng Cheng came to the treasury of the Chang'an Household Department:

"On the orders of the prime minister, come to the treasury to get money and grain! Check out the items. As the door of the treasury opened, Li Jiancheng was shocked:

"Ku Cheng! What's going on? "The storehouse was empty, and in the words of later generations, even rats could not be fed. Li Jiancheng angrily pulled out his sword and put it on Ku Cheng's neck:

"Say! Is it you who resell the food? Li Jiancheng knows that due to military disasters and man-made disasters in the Guanzhong area, the price of grain has skyrocketed, a bucket of rice can be sold for 10,000 yuan, and the black market is even more priceless, so there are countless people who resell the materials of the government in the army, and several cases have been seized, because Li Yuan is afraid of being implicated too widely, he has not pursued it, but if the treasury directly under the household department is also like this, it will be terrible, feeling the cold air on the sword, Ku Cheng replied tremblingly:

"Qi Yu Shizi, after digging the canal in the past, Chang'an materials were transferred from Jiangnan through Luoyang, but since the first emperor conquered Liaodong and suppressed the civil rebellion, the Central Plains was in turmoil, the Jiangnan waterway and Luoyang's roads have been blocked, and the treasury has not entered things in the early days, and the money and grain stored in our household department are not much. In addition, after the prime minister invaded Chang'an, he often ordered to reward the defenders of Chang'an, took out most of the gold and silver treasures in the Chang'an Treasury, and recruited new soldiers, and the food was almost the same. Here are the current accounts and the previous edicts of the prime minister. Li Jiancheng looked at the empty warehouse and the paperwork and accounts handed over by the mansion, and his heart was also full of worry.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the treasury is empty, this son has come to raise military supplies on the orders of his father, and I hope you can help you and do your best to prevent this difficulty."

"Lord Shizi, the humble post and Lord Di also inspected the township a few days ago, due to the conscription of soldiers, the conscription of strong men has dropped to sixteen, now the fields in Guanzhong are barren, the market is very depressed except for Chang'an, and the prime minister also reduced the tax of Guanzhong Hedong for three years in the name of the saint when he entered Chang'an, even if we break our promises and fatten ourselves, it will be difficult to get through the difficulties!" Huang Wenqing, who spoke, after hearing that the commander of the expedition to the west was designated as Li Shimin, knew the truth that the soldiers and horses had not moved, and the grain and grass went first, so he visited more than a dozen counties around Chang'an with Di Zhixun, and after returning, he gave Li Jiancheng a document to tell about the suffering of the people in Guanzhong. Now he is telling the truth. The officials present all nodded their heads.

"What Lord Huang said is very true, I recently inspected the township with Lord Huang, not only the fields are barren, but also the currency system is chaotic, the original Great Sui State is peaceful and peaceful, and the great cause of Tongbao is popular all over the world, but now the land of China is falling apart, the major forces are divided, the copper money is depreciated, and the bulk transactions are traded in gold and silver, and even more, some large households make money privately, and the people dare not collect money, and the small households do not have so many gold and silver reserves, so they have to circulate with grain cloth and barter."

"What, someone actually made coins privately, isn't this a rebellion? It's worth it. When Li Jiancheng heard this, he slapped off the long case in front of him.

"Your Highness is angry! Since ancient times, if the situation is turbulent, it is natural that some people will take risks and do things that they dare not do on weekdays! Moreover, those who minted coins privately had a lot of connections with the Guanzhong family, and if we forcibly snatched food from their mouths, I am afraid that it would 。。。。。。 Li Jiancheng was said by Di Zhixun, and immediately calmed down, yes! What's easier to get rich than by participating in the circulation of money? Not to mention that there are constant disputes in the world now, even in later generations of the so-called legal system, the private production of currency to set up shopping materials has continued to occur.

"Forget it! The current situation is indeed not the time to deal with this matter, and after our DPRK agrees to the Central Plains, we will carry out the policy of monetary unification, and now we should discuss how to solve the problem! What are the best ways for you to solve this dilemma, you also know that now that the army is about to start, if there is no food, those soldiers will have to be in turmoil at that time, Li Jiancheng wanted the people present to see, everyone bowed their heads and pondered. Yin Arat's looked at Li Jiancheng and lowered his head again.

"Master Yin, please say something." Yin Arat's permission was granted by Li Yuan to enter Li Jiancheng's Shizi Mansion, and was appointed by Li Jiancheng as the chief secretary of the Shizi Mansion, responsible for the expenditure of money and grain.

"Your Highness, the humble minister has a strategy, but it is a little difficult to get into the hall of elegance."

"Speak up!"

"There are merchants in Chang'an who specialize in lending, if His Highness is willing to descend to 。。。。。。"

"Bold! Your Highness is a noble person, how can you deal with those people in the market! Di Zhixun was a literati who was deeply influenced by Confucian culture, and paid attention to the hierarchy of Shinong, industry and commerce, even other people felt that it was inappropriate for the dignified Tang prince to deal with the merchants in the market, but he also knew in his heart that there was no way to do it, so he bowed his head one by one and remained silent. Li Jiancheng felt that there was nothing after hearing it, in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty pacified the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and thus supported a lot of usury merchants, that is, in later generations, the central government in order to solve the financial crisis, also issued treasury bonds to borrow privately. So he waved to Dicterson.

"Good! In order to solve the current crisis, I can't take care of so much! Lord Yin, you can find a way to make an appointment, but this matter can't be spread casually, I'm afraid it's not good if you say it. Everyone present knew that there was a great relationship, and they all nodded yes.

"Now let's talk about the matter of Juntian in Guanzhong, my lords, now the matter of Juntian is imminent, Lord Di, Lord Huang, you have visited all parts of Guanzhong, and you should share more about the matter of Juntian, what countermeasures do you have."

"Qi Qi Shizi, although the two of us have visited many places, we don't know the specific number of acres of land in Guanzhong, and it will take time for us to sort out the charter."

"No, the soldiers are so fast, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you much time." On weekdays, Li Jiancheng was courteous to the corporal and spoke softly to these strategists and retainers, but today, Di Zhixun and others heard the severity in Li Jiancheng's words.

"Your Highness, the minister can raise one person to accomplish this great task." Li Jiancheng found out that it was Yin Arat, who was talking.

"Please!"

"It's the former Hedong Juncheng - Xue Lin, the uncle of the Zhang family, the favorite concubine of the current prince."

"Oh! Why did the gentleman recommend him? ”

"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness, Beichen used to be a subordinate of Xue Lin, and I know that he once served as the household department, and he participated in the official Juntian during the opening of the emperor's reign, and Beichen thinks that he can solve His Highness's doubts."

"Alright! Come on, prepare the horses! This prince is going to visit Lord Xue. Master Yin, you can accompany this son on a trip! "Li Jiancheng and Yin Arat came to Xue Lin's mansion.

"Minister! Xue Lin sees the prince of the world! ”

"Ahh Lord Xue, please excuse me, there is a difficult matter for me to come this time, and I want to ask Lord Xue. ”

"Lord Shizi, please speak!"

"I heard that the Lord had participated in the Juntian Affair during the Emperor's reign, and now the Lord hopes that the Lord can solve his doubts."

"Oh! The prince turned out to be here for this matter! Xue Lin's face showed a hint of smugness.

"Ahh It turned out to be a matter of Juntian back then, and the lower official once served as the official of the household department, and assisted the lord of the household department Su Wei to preside over the affairs of the Juntian, please wait for me. After speaking, Xue Lin got up and took out a large pile of books from the room.

"Childe, please see, these are the rules and regulations compiled by Beichen with the assistance of Lord Su Wei back then, as well as the documents on the number of acres of land in the counties around Guanzhong, as well as the mountains and rivers in the Guanzhong area that can be cultivated and cultivated before the Beichen was released, please inspect the products!" Li Jiancheng looked through those documents and found that Xue Lin was also a person with a heart, he not only recorded the distribution of the land of the major officials and lords during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui and the division of the Yongye field of ordinary people, but also recorded the pastoral landform of the central area, where the harvest can be cultivated, and where the barren beach wetland is recorded in great detail.

"Shizi, it's not a boast of the lower officials, although the lower officials have been away from Guanzhong for several years, these can still help the prince not be fooled and deceived."

"Lord Xue is really a sage in the world, I will definitely show my father and the king, and come forward to protect Lord Xue as the head of the household and preside over the affairs of Juntian."

"Thank you! Lord Shizi, there is still something I want to report to the prince! ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"Lord Shizi! Now in the area of Guanzhong Hedong, the people's livelihood is withering, if the old law is still taxed, I am afraid that the burden of the people is too heavy, which is not conducive to our dynasty to win the hearts of the people. If it is appropriate, please play on behalf of Tang Wang! After speaking, he took out another rule, Li Jiancheng opened it and looked at it carefully, only to see that it was written on it-

After each ding is granted the field, two quintals of millet are handed over every year, which is called "rent". Ding Nan serves as a national servant, 20 days a year, if there are special reasons, can not serve, can be calculated on a daily basis, pay three feet of silk a day to replace, this is called "Yong". With the local local products, each Ding annually handed over silk, silk each two zhang, cloth plus one-fifth, pay silk, silk, silk, add three taels of cotton, pay cloth plus three catties of hemp, this is called "tune". The so-called: "If you have land, you will have rent, if you have a household, you will have a tune, and if you have a body, you will have mediocrity." It is the normal obligation of the peasants to the state, but it is not the case for the whole people, the emperor and the prince and the prince above, the wife of the first rank or above, the rank of the honorable officer of the third rank or above, the ministry officer of the ninth rank or above, the old, the disabled, widows and concubines, monks and nuns, tribals, guest girls, slaves and maids, etc., are all non-class households. Isn't this what was implemented in the early Tang Dynasty? It was precisely because of the implementation of this system that the shortage of military spending in the Wude period in the early Tang Dynasty was solved, and it was not abolished until the Kaiyuan period. Li Jiancheng thought in his heart!

"What a talent, sir! It must be played to the father and the king when it is built! With the assistance of Xue Lin and the chairmanship of Li Jiancheng, the mighty Juntian Movement in Guanzhong began again.
