Hearing that Li Shimin finally reacted, Xia Hongsheng replied with a smile: "Back to my father-in-law, it is literal." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Please ask the father-in-law to condemn the son-in-law, demote the son-in-law to the seventh grade, and choose the county for placement. ”

"What?!" Li Shimin was stunned, with a very incredible look on his face, and he reached out and plucked his ears, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Xia Hongsheng took a deep breath and said, "The son-in-law said, please ask Your Majesty to condemn the son-in-law, choose a county, and let the son-in-law make a seven-grade county order." In that way, the gang has nothing to say. ”

"Nope." Li Shimin frowned tightly and categorically rejected Xia Hongsheng's proposal. After that, he sighed again, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, you can go back." Let's put that aside. You don't have to worry, I'll see what those guys can do! Just above the court, it is relieving! ”

When Xia Hongsheng heard Li Shimin's words, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, my father-in-law, please ask my father-in-law to condemn my son-in-law and demote my son-in-law to a county order." This is the method of retreating! ”

Li Shimin's eyes froze, and he asked, "How to retreat into advance?" How do you really want it? ”

"Father-in-law, just above the court, the son-in-law listened to the interrogation of those officials, and an idea suddenly appeared in his heart." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin: "Therefore, the little son-in-law deliberately tore his face with those people in the court, and deliberately made disrespectful remarks, so that there was a reason for the father-in-law to blame the little nephew." ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin's expression was solemn and he said, "Let's talk carefully!" ”

"Yes!" Xia Hongsheng nodded and said to Li Shimin: "The little son-in-law thought of the new commercial law and tax law. My father-in-law was worried that these things were too radical and that if they were hastily implemented, they might lead to chaos in the world. The son-in-law also thinks that this kind of thing must not be rushed, and the most important thing is to boil the frog in warm water and come little by little. The so-called boiled frog in warm water means that if the frog is thrown directly into the hot water, the frog will not be able to stand the sudden high temperature, so it will immediately struggle and jump out of the hot water to successfully escape. However, if you put the frog in cold water and then heat it slowly, the result will be different. Instead, the frog is comfortable in the water because of the comfortable temperature at the beginning. And when the frog found that he couldn't stand the high temperature, he was already too weak to make a big splash, and before he knew it, he was boiled to death in the hot water. ”

Xia Hongsheng explained to Li Shimin: "Since the new commercial law and tax law will be resisted because it infringes on the vested interests of these scholars, then we can follow the example of rice seeds, and do not implement them directly, but set up pilot projects first." Let's start with a county. First, it is only a county, the scope is very small, the relationship is not too complicated, and it will not be too eye-catching, even if it is attention-grabbing, just a county, even if it makes the scholars vigilant, it will not bring enough confrontation. Second, you can also try it out in the pilot first, see the effect, check and fill in the gaps, and try to meet all kinds of possibilities and improve as much as possible. Third, if there is really an accident, the resistance is too great, and it has endangered the father-in-law, then it is easy to calm down - it can be pushed on the son-in-law, and the crime of unfavorable advice can be cured of the son-in-law. Fourth, if it can really be achieved, it will bring a huge and good change to the land of a county, and it will inevitably be seen by others. There is no shortage of discerning people in our dynasty, and once the effect is seen, it will inevitably lead to controversy and even imitation. If this policy is one day imitated by a large number of places and supported by a large number of people, even if those scholars want to do something, no one will support it. If there is no support, how much storm can they set off? Even if they end up doing the most extreme thing, so what? Without support, you will never succeed. At that time, if they oppose this policy, they will be spurned by the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they will naturally be disgraced, and their long-flaunted moral status will also be swept away. They can only conform to the will of the people, and even if they do not want to, they have to accept it. Without the moral status you have always had, father-in-law, you don't have much to do to clean them up. ”

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, his eyes widened, his eyes were first surprised, then turned into joy, and finally became excited, slapped the table, suppressed his voice and whispered: "Okay!" Good strategy! ”

"In addition, in order to further deepen the effect of boiling frogs in warm water, even if the pilot counties have made great achievements, they are not in a hurry to implement it in the entire Datang, but first in places such as Dongying Road and Linyi Road, which were later owned by Datang. When these places have achieved great results, there will naturally be people in the territory now, and these people will deal with those gate lords for Your Majesty, so as to prompt Your Majesty to implement this law as well. At that time, the gate valve of the scholar clan will eventually decline, and the court will not have to look at the face of the scholar clan and be elbowed by the gate valve of the scholar clan. Xia Hongsheng continued to say to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's eyes showed excitement, but he frowned again: "Isn't that virtuous son-in-law quite wronged?" ”

Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "The son-in-law doesn't feel wronged. In itself, the son-in-law doesn't like to stay in the court all day long arguing and chattering. Work hard to prosper the country, empty talk misleads the country, and the son-in-law still prefers to do some practical things. ”

"Work hard to prosper the country, empty talk to mislead the country?!" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and was immediately moved: "Well said!" Well said! These eight words...... The virtuous son-in-law really deserves to be the best talent in the world! That's exactly how it should be! As it should be! All right! All right! What a hard work to prosper the country, empty talk misleads the country! I want to write down these eight characters and hang them high on the wall, always alert to me! ”

"Father-in-law, son-in-law already has a few alternatives. In order to introduce a new commercial and tax law, the selected county must not be too close to the nobles, and preferably a place with a little less agriculture and a little more business. After thinking about it, I think that my son-in-law's hometown is fine. Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin: "Luanzhou is not too far from Luoyang, and it is separated from Luoyang by Luhun and Yin Run, which are all mountainous and farmless, and it is not easy to cultivate. However, it is not too far from Luoyang, so there are many businessmen in these three places. Moreover, the place is not well-known and will not attract attention too soon. ”

"Luanzhou?" Li Shimin lowered his head and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "No." Since it is a pilot, there are a number of problems that may arise. Luanzhou is still remote. Even if I wanted to help you, it wouldn't be convenient. Judging from me, why don't you just be in Jingyang! (To be continued.) )
