"Which heart?"

Li Yan had something to say, and Wang Zheng also narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at him and saying word by word.

Li Yan turned around, looked up and said:

"The general once said to Li Yan that if you want to create a great cause, you need to change fundamentally, just all the soldiers are not enough, you must completely turn everyone or everything under your rule into yours."

Speaking of this, Li Yan's eyes became sharp.

"And the so-called root of this is the 'people'."

"Tang Taizong has clouds: water can carry boats, can also overturn boats, today's imperial court is already internal and external troubles, there are a large number of water sources in the Central Plains waiting for the general to use, we must not let the Liukou take the lead!"

Wang Zheng nodded, in fact, he had been thinking about this for a long time, but there was only one Guan Qingtian in his hand, and what Guan Qingtian was good at was only coming up with small ideas to help deal with government affairs.

The stakes are very high, and Wang Zheng suffers from the lack of talents who understand this principle, so he has not been able to talk to others about his thoughts.

Li Yan walked to the map with a few steps and pointed in the direction of Jining with one hand.

"The general has opened up the salt road in Jining, why not take this opportunity to completely open up the trade route from Ninghai to Shandong? In this way, the leather, pigs, cattle, mules and horses, ironware, porcelain, and clothing of the whole Shandong can be transported to Dengzhou Prefecture, and the circulation of goods can bring broader benefits. ”

Guan Qingtian and Huang Yang walked into the main hall, and after Guan Qingtian saluted the king, he arched his hand and said: "I have heard for a long time that Li Gongzi of Qi County is known to be a great talent, and when I see it today, I know that the rumors are true." ”

Li Yan also shook his body politely and said: "Master Guan smiled, as the general's right-hand man, your ability is naturally beyond doubt." ”

Guan Qingtian was also fluttering by this, indeed, before Li Yan came, almost all of Wang Zheng's copywriting work was handed over to him to do, the number one literati.

Although Li Yan was a little unhappy after he came, he also knew that he couldn't stop it, so he just had to adapt.

Li Yan didn't care what Qingtian thought, and continued to say in an orderly manner:

"The opening of Jining's trade routes is still a small amount of money, and it is the local merchants who benefit the most, not the generals. But this is the first step, only by holding up the merchants to suppress the landlords and gentry, what Li Yan wants to say next can be implemented, and the general should also understand that this must be done. ”

Wang Zheng was silent for a moment, and then muttered: "Li Gongzi continued, Ben will listen. ”

"Nowadays, Shandong has experienced so much turmoil, the population has plummeted, and it is already very weak, even if it is rich Jining, the market digestion is too far from Fujian, Jiangnan and other places."

As he spoke, Li Yan turned his head to look at Wang Zheng:

"The general also knows that the rich families in Shandong are mainly concentrated on both sides of the canal, that is, Jining, Linqing, and Dezhou, which are too far away from Dengzhou Mansion."

"Besides, the road is not as peaceful as Dengzhou Mansion, and the thieves are as impure as ringworm, so it is really difficult for us to develop business on the road. If it's difficult, why not take a shortcut? ”

Li Yan smiled and said with a smile Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng clenched his hands, suddenly got up and said, "You mean the waterway?" ”

Seeing Li Yan nodded, Guan Qingtian frowned and said:

"Li Gongzi, the waterway is indeed simple and efficient, but the yellow-mouthed child of the Zheng family once had a disagreement with the general, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to transport out."

Li Yan sighed, he had only been here for one night, and he really hadn't heard of this matter, so it seemed that he would have to inquire carefully later.

Wang Zheng waved his hand and said: "Okay, the general Li Gongzi said already has a plan in his heart, these are all things in the future, and he is not in a hurry to develop waterway freight now, and then talk about the second step." ”

Huang Yang looked at Li Yan intently, this person's thinking was simply too agile, but he still couldn't keep up, not to mention Dong Youyin, Heizi and Gao Liang, who were old and coarse, and they were afraid that they would be confused.

Li Yan also thinks so, he didn't want to implement it now when he talked about waterway freight, but just wanted Wang Zheng to have this idea in his heart, which is very important.

Li Yan spent a few circles on the map and said:

"If the first step goes well, the trade routes along the river in Jining and other places will be opened, and a large amount of goods will flow through Dengzhou. The so-called merchants come like clouds and go away, which is exactly the case. ”

Li Yan smiled slightly, as if he had thought about everything, and said eloquently:

"The local sluggish merchant market can take advantage of this opportunity, and the landlords and gentry have one more enemy. Merchants know that their interests are closely related to the general's decrees, and they can become friends who support each other. At that point, you can take the second step smoothly, which is also the most important part. ”

Huang Yang had been listening, and suddenly asked:

"In that case, how could those squires let you open up the trade routes so safely and let your second enemy become bigger?"

Li Yan looked at Huang Yang and said with a smile: "Huang Qian is always worried, this is the trend of the times, and the local squires in Ninghai alone can't stop this wave." ”

Huang Yang pondered for a while, seemed to understand, and said: "Dare to ask Li Gongzi how to do this second step, and prepare as early as possible."

Under the gaze of several people, Li Yan took a few deep breaths and said slowly:

"Juntian is exempt."

Guan Qingtian reacted very much, and shouted at the moment.

"What? Juntian is exempt! This and this, general, even if some belongings are not like this, it is good to give the people land, but why should taxes be exempted? In this way, the general will have to pay taxes for everyone, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Li Yan still looked at Wang Zheng with a smile, as if it was not strange that Guan Qingtian had such a reaction.

"The gains outweigh the losses! This method can collect the hearts of the people of the state capital in the near future, and can hold the public opinion of the world in the distance. ”

Guan Qingtian also nodded slowly, saying that there was so much truth.

After hearing this, Huang Yang looked at Li Yan more carefully, clenched his fists and said:

"General, I think this method is feasible!"

Juntian is exempt from endowment, this idea Wang Zheng had as early as when he was the president of Qian, but he didn't know where to start before he put it on hold.

Li Zicheng in history used Li Yan's Tianfu strategy to win the hearts of the people in the world, and Li Zicheng has that courage, why can't I have Wang Zheng?

Wang Zheng looked at Li Yan and said lightly:

"Li Gongzi, tell everyone what you think, everyone here is the right-hand man of the general, let's be careful."

Li Yan laughed, he really didn't see the wrong person, Wang Zheng really had the heart to dominate the world, otherwise it would be impossible to accept this proposal.

"The old household registration system is like the military system of the guard, which has long been riddled with holes, and it does not fit the current situation at all! Therefore, if you want to implement the policy of free land in Juntian, you should abandon the old law and replace the old with the new. ”

Li Yan's general meaning is to change the original rule of using age to determine the number of users and allocating acres to measuring and distributing the actual population of each household.

Between three and seven people, divide thirty acres of land, in fact, this is a more reasonable distribution.

For example, the military households in the left boundary of Jinshan can have more than 1,000 households according to this method, and each household has 30 mu, which can basically ensure that every normal family can get a sufficient amount of land per mu.

Guan Qingtian was still a little hesitant:

"In the past, it was distributed according to the number of households, so ......."
