In recent years, there have been a lot of women who have come out to do things. Princess An Ning has been serving as the principal of the industrial school, and Haitang has also been the director of the secretariat of the institute. The number of women workers in the industrial towns is very large, and it has gradually been accepted that women come out to work.

Li Su said in surprise: "This is not appropriate, right? ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's true, Ning'er came out to do things at the age of 11, and she has 8 years of experience, she is shrewd and capable, I think it is appropriate." If you don't avoid relatives, let her serve as the deputy director of the State Administration of Taxation. ”

A month later, the imperial court reform plan came out. In the new plan, the original six ministries of the imperial court were retained.

The Ministry of Household has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation, and the Ministry of Industry has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Craftsman Supervision and the Ministry of Ordnance Industry.

The Ministry of Rites has jurisdiction over the Qin Tianjian and other departments, specializing in various celebrations and sacrificial activities. The Ministry of War no longer has jurisdiction over the army, and has become a department similar to the Ministry of Rites.

All secondary departments exist independently. The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Culture and Education all exist independently as secondary ministries.

The Research Institute, the Mining Department, the Patent Office, and the Industrial City were merged into the Ministry of Industry, and the education base was subordinate to the Ministry of Education.

After the adjustment of the organization, many posts have been added, and many officials have been promoted, so naturally everyone is happy. There is also a benefit, that is, at the suggestion of the prince, a six-day work system is implemented, with one day off every seven days.

These days, the prince is very busy, and it is rare to take a break, and this day, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Rest day, East Palace.

Li Su, Li Dan, Du He, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo, Yu Chi Baoqi, the women have the prince's 6 concubines, An Ning, Yangcheng, Qibi Gaowa and Tian Zhen, these people have experienced wind and rain together, and they have supported the friends of life and death who have come over, and their feelings are extremely deep.

Everyone was lively together, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Li Su looked at these partners, and sighed with emotion in his heart: "I was originally an unsociable otaku, but I didn't expect fate to arrange for him to come to the Tang Dynasty, and after getting acquainted with so many friends of life and death, his life became extremely fulfilling and meaningful." "He was filled with happiness.

Everyone had lunch together, and in the afternoon they played around for a while, and then dispersed.

Sending them off, he was ready to go back and rest for a while. At this time, Yang Kang walked in with a displeased face. He said, "Lord, can you lend some money to your ministers?" ”

Li Su said: "How much? ”

Yang Kang said: "2000. ”

Li Su said: "Money is not a problem, can you tell me what to do?" He saw that Yang Kang's face was not good, so he asked.

Yang Kang talked about the original situation.

It turned out that Yang Kang's parents died when he was a child, and he had an uncle who nurtured him. Yang Kang is now developed, so he took his uncle to Chang'an, bought him a yard, and gave him living expenses every month to support him for a long time.

His uncle was in Chang'an, had no friends, and felt lonely, so he went to some entertainment places to have fun. Unexpectedly, he was bewitched and dragged into the casino, and since then, he has been addicted to gambling and can't extricate himself, he not only lost all the money Yang Kang gave him, but also mortgaged the yard, and finally borrowed usury and owed a large amount of debt.

Yang Kang borrowed money to pay off his uncle.

Gambling and usury are the two major cancers in society, and many families have perished, and at the same time, they have caused the concentration of social wealth in the hands of a small number of people, and brought double damage to the imperial court, such as finance, taxation and social security.

Li Su is determined to eradicate this cancer. He said to Yang Kang: "Don't pay back the money." You immediately send someone to protect your uncle and not let the usurers hurt him. Tomorrow I will go to the emperor and deal with this matter when I come back. ”

Yang Kang immediately deployed manpower to protect his uncle.

The next morning, Li Su called Wei Zheng and came to Li Shimin.

Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.

Wei Zheng talked about the great harm that gambling and usury have done to society. He gave many bloody examples, was very emotional, and insisted on the outlaw of gambling and usury.

Li Su elaborated on the social and economic damage of gambling and usury, and the impact of gambling on the tax revenue of the imperial court.

After listening to Li Su and Wei Zheng's reports, Li Shimin only thought that gambling and usury were harmful to society. Unexpectedly, this will cause a huge loss of tax revenue to the imperial court. He was determined to eradicate this cancer that was threatening the imperial court.

Li Shimin said: "This problem should be solved. ”

Wei Zheng said worriedly: "This matter is very difficult to do, behind the operators of casinos and loan sharks, there are protective umbrellas, involving officials large and small. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "Whether this cancer can be eradicated depends on how determined the imperial court is." ”

Li Shimin said: "This matter will be left to you, no matter who is involved, how to deal with it." ”

Li Su and Wei Zheng came to the East Palace and made a detailed plan.

Three days later.

Yang Kang's uncle returned to the courtyard where he lived. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw three big men rushing out of the alley, and they surrounded Yang Kang's uncle.

A black-faced man said: "Old Yang Tou, you hide, if you can hide, the monk can't hide from the temple." Pay it back. ”

I saw my uncle again and said, "I'm just going to borrow money, and I've already borrowed 2,000 yuan." ”

"Haha, old Yangtou, you want to send us away with 2,000 yuan? It's not 2,000 now, you've delayed for another three days, and it's 3,200 now. A tall, thin man said.

Yang Kang's uncle said, "Aren't you robbing money? My nephew is the captain of the guard of the East Palace, how dare you be so presumptuous? ”

A short and fat man said: "Don't say it's the captain of the guard of the East Palace, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, and we are not afraid." Debt repayment, as a matter of course. Even the prince can't be unreasonable. ”

Yang Kang's uncle said, "I don't have any money. ”

The short and fat man said, "If you don't have any money, just come with us and let your nephew use the money to ransom people." With that, they went up and arrested people to take Yang Kang's uncle away.

At this moment, Yang Kang appeared, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen soldiers went up and took them down.

At the beginning, they still had to reason with Yang Kang. As a result, he was punched and kicked by the soldiers, and basically only half his life was left. The soldiers then escorted them to arrest the other accomplices.

On this day, the entire Chang'an City launched a unified operation, and a total of more than 20,000 military and police officers participated in the arrest operation.

The next day, at the entrance of Chang'an East City, the officers and men of the brigade escorted a large number of casino and loan shark operators to the square.

Many of the people didn't know what was going on, and they all gathered around to watch.

Soon, it became known that it was the operator of casinos and loan sharks. For these people, the people hate them very much, but there is a protective umbrella behind these people. The people didn't know what kind of punishment they would receive. Everyone speculated that it might be a fine.
