Chapter 159 The Shore of the Land is not a royal minister
"Is that okay?" Li Er was dumbfounded when he heard this, he never knew that it was to build roads and call on the people to raise a pig to strengthen the country. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info it's just that what Li Hao said seems to be really reasonable, and he has to agree.
Can what Li Hao say be unreasonable? In later generations, the walls of the countryside were painted with "If you want to get rich, build roads first" and "Have fewer children and raise more pigs." And it turns out that these words still make sense, even if they are put in ancient times.
Li Hao opened a new window for Li Er, letting him know that in addition to the traditional way of governing the country, there are other ways to strengthen the country. A lot of things are at your fingertips, but no one has ever been talking about them.
Some traditional things make people ashamed of their words, and everyone will always demand themselves with the behavior of a gentleman. So no one studies business theories, and they have been careful to avoid these.
"It's just that Mr. doesn't know that although there is a sharp tool of cement to build roads, it still requires manpower and material resources. Now that I, the Tang Dynasty, have just recovered from the war, if we gather the people to build roads now and delay the production of the people, wouldn't it be the same as the tyranny of Emperor Sui who built the Grand Canal? ”
"Besides, my Datang is now on the border, and there are still young people peeping around, and it takes a lot of materials to use military funds to prevent trouble. The state treasury will not be able to come up with enough financial resources to rectify these, and if it is forced, I am afraid that it will make the people of the world miserable. ”
Although Li Er was attracted by the beautiful blueprint drawn by Li Hao, he did not lose his reason. can still be sober and not forget to think about the people of the world, considering the actual situation of Datang, he is worthy of a generation of famous monarchs, Li Hao praised him in his heart.
It's just that Li Hao has put this thing out now, and he definitely didn't instigate Li Er to recruit the people of the Tang Dynasty to spend time and effort to build a cement road. If he did this, it was estimated that Li Er kicked him out of the palace with one kick, how far and how far he would roll.
"Concrete roads can't be built in a day, and it still requires Datang officials to choose the right route, build the main north-south and east-west roads, and then slowly build other roads. As for the people who build roads, they must not be able to requisition the people of my Tang Dynasty, there are manpower to build roads everywhere in the world, and there are also methods, it depends on what Your Majesty thinks. ”
Li Hao said this leisurely and stopped talking, waiting for Li Er to take the bait. I used these words to fool Li Ke, I fooled Li Jing, and now it's finally Li Er's turn, think about it, it's very fulfilling.
Li Hao also has his considerations for finding this opportunity to talk to Li Er about these things, he doesn't like to run to the palace very much, and there will naturally not be many opportunities to see Li Er, so when he has the opportunity, he will instill these things in Li Er first.
In addition, at this time, Li Er is still relatively easy to speak, and when he can humbly accept advice, he can listen to what he says if it makes sense, and if there is any mistake, he will not be easily offended.
After a few years, it will be difficult to guarantee, and after a few years, this guy has done a lot of things to ruin his reputation. For example, a few days after his mirror Wei Zheng died, Li Er shoveled off someone's tombstone, and later regretted making it up again.
So for Li Hao, who is afraid of trouble, just transmit his views to Li Er at the safest time, as for how much Li Er can do, it is Li Er's business, at least he has already said it.
At least I won't be convicted or implicated in it. It doesn't matter whether his views can be supported by Li Er and vigorously promoted, it's a big deal that he spends more time slowly promoting it from the people and things around him.
Li Er obviously wanted to know what Li Hao said more than Li Ke and Li Jing, and couldn't wait to ask Li Hao for advice on how to build a road without recruiting the people of Datang to affect Datang's production, and he was very eager for Datang to be more prosperous and powerful now. What's more, Li Hao also said that the road can be built without touching the Tang Dynasty.
"Isn't Your Majesty already doing what my Datang has done to treat criminals? And it's doing it well. "The service system of convicts in the Tang Dynasty is similar to the current labor reform system, so there are as many free free coolies as there are convicts in the world.
"Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Ages, and you should know what the Holy Way says. If Your Majesty can reuse the Holy Way to the people of the Tang Dynasty, unless the criminals in the world are guilty of intentional homicide, rebellion and other serious crimes, they will be punished for the first evil, and the rest will all be sent to build roads and labor reform.
Those who perform well can have their sentences commuted accordingly, and the people of the Tang Dynasty who are convicts in the world will not be grateful to Your Majesty. In this way, I have the manpower to build roads in the Tang Dynasty, and I can also educate criminals to kill two birds with one stone, so why not do it? ”
The Tang Dynasty had Tang law, but cutting off his head at every turn was really difficult for Li Hao to accept. The population in ancient times was not much, and this and that were also beheaded, how could this population grow rapidly?
"It's just that these manpower is definitely not enough to build a road connecting the north and the south and the east and west, so we need to find other ways to prepare manpower. Your Majesty said that the border of our Tang Dynasty is undecided, and there are still young people peeping, and it is necessary to spend a lot of materials to replenish military funds.
Then Your Majesty should know that under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. These people were originally subordinates of my Tang Dynasty, and they didn't understand the royal way and didn't respect the Heavenly Empire.
Then we should punish him for the first evil, arrest his comrades and punish them for labor reform and educate criminals like I am a criminal in the Tang Dynasty.
The people of my Tang Dynasty must be punished for their mistakes, and those people who are outside the Tang Dynasty should punish them if they do not respect the royal way. And because these barbarians are stupid, the time for transformation needs to be doubled.
As long as he performs well during his service, he strives to accept the culture and etiquette of my Datang, and makes outstanding contributions to my Datang. I, Datang, can reduce his sentence and allow him to settle down in Datang, and give him some convenience in life.
In this way, with a big stick in one hand and a sweet jujube in the other, not only the first evil is eliminated, but also its power is weakened, can the surrounding Xiaoxiao people not surrender to my Datang and His Majesty's holy might? In this way, isn't there another batch of free coolies for the people who build roads in Datang? ”
"As for the material needs for building roads, there are also two ways to prepare, one is that my Datang sent troops to eliminate the young people, and spent a lot of material resources and manpower, so I can't just punish the first evil and punish the criminals.
As the eliminated evildoers, should they compensate me for the loss of Datang's manpower and materials? I, Datang Qunchen, shouldn't be stupid enough to think that someone else gave me a slap in the face and it would be over, right?
They slapped us in the face and could have injured us, and this should be paid for medical treatment. Isn't it just right to use the materials they paid for to build roads? In this way, there is no need for my Datang people to pay extra money to pay taxes.
In addition, our dynasty can also allow large households to contribute funds to participate in the construction of roads, after the road is completed, you can name a certain section of the road after them, or you can allow them to collect the toll of passing vehicles at a uniform price within a specified time to recover the cost and obtain a certain profit, but the vehicles and pedestrians of the imperial court are not allowed to charge.
Finally, with some appropriations from the imperial court, won't the materials for building the road be available? There is no money for road construction manpower, and there are other places to collect money. This one in and one out, I don't know how much cost to save when building roads. ”
Li Hao and Li Er calculated one by one, according to this way, it will not cost much to repair all the cement roads in Datang, but it will make Datang's traffic more convenient.
"It just seems a little inappropriate to treat the little people around you like this, right?" In Li Er's hesitation, Li Hao saw the glint in Li Er's eyes, as an emperor who lived in the truth of the inner king and the outer saint who had been instilled by those stupid traitors around him since he was a child, it was normal for Li Er to have this hesitation.
Moreover, Li Er had done this kind of stupid thing before, and the Eastern Turks' handling method was a lesson. But Li Hao has to understand the interests today, so that Li Er understands that the inner saint and the outer king are the last word, and the big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other hand is the right way.
"Since the history of my Huaxia, does Your Majesty know why those barbarians have always killed them inexhaustibly? They will always run to my Huaxia to burn and loot when my Huaxia is weak and continue to survive, and when my Huaxia is strong, they will hide far away or pretend to surrender.
This is because they have lived on horseback for generations, along with the herd. As long as there are people and livestock, they can continue to live as nomadic as they go, and it is difficult to perish.
Therefore, in order to eradicate these scourges permanently, it is necessary to cut off the root cause and make them pay the imperial court an annual livestock tax. Learn to farm and settle down, and learn my four books and five classics of China to wash away the stupidity of his body. In this way, they will be all included in my Datang and become the people of my Datang, and this problem will be eradicated in the long run. ”
Li Hao said this very imposingly, this merit is also Li Er's unbearable temptation, what a great achievement this is to come to the dynasty and never suffer from it.
How many foreign invasions have the land of China suffered since the pre-Qin period? Qin Shi Huang's military exploits are strong enough, right? He didn't do it forever, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was powerful enough, and Le Ma carved Shiyin Mountain also didn't eradicate Hu trouble.
If he can never get rid of trouble after Li Jing breaks the Eastern Turks, Li Er doesn't have to think about it and knows how history will describe his great achievements, and it is difficult to hide the excited look in his heart when he thinks of this.
"These are the people of the Tang Dynasty, we just spend our efforts to educate them, and this is still benevolent. On the contrary, His Majesty will have to worry about how to reward his ministers if he gets such great merit? ”
Li Hao couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he saw Li Er's excited look that couldn't be concealed, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Dare to make fun of the emperor, it is too long.
"Is that really okay?" Li Er had calmed down at this time, and immediately asked Li Haodao. He always felt that there was something wrong there, but he couldn't remember that there was a problem there.
