Chapter Ninety-Eight: Waiting (II)
PS: The third update was sent, and I didn't rush into V, continued the public version, and urgently asked for monthly tickets and recommended tickets, so as to give Lao Wu some confidence.
==========================================================================
"Your Highness, the reason why the minister said this is because he saw His Highness's benevolence and generosity." Di Renjie suddenly said something brainless.
He is not alone in seeing this problem, but there is no solution to it. If you say it, you may be provoked, and no one can afford to provoke it. If it weren't for Li Wei's character, he would never have said it. Speaking out is not intended to let Li Wei find a solution, but just to remind him that this is also a kind of teaching.
Di Qing complimented. Li Wei was very ashamed in his heart, he had always just wanted to save his life, and if he couldn't save his life, he planned to escape, and he really didn't put much thought into the people of the country, if it wasn't for Di Renjie mentioning it today, he wouldn't even think about the rent and the military system.
"But His Highness must not learn from Emperor Yang of Sui."
I heard that. Because he wanted to save his life, how Yang Guang ascended the throne was carefully analyzed. At the beginning, Yang Guang was very good, Queen Dugu wanted to be monogamous, but Yang Yong had many wives and concubines, but Yang Guang had only one wife, that is, Concubine Xiao who married five or six kings, Lao Tzu Yang Jian was thrifty, Yang Yong liked music and dance, drinking and feasting, Yang Guang's family was full of old ugly maids, and the musical instruments were covered with dust. Every time he travels, he just cries when he sees his parents, so Di Renjie repeatedly told him to cry if he can, and to be sad if he can't, even if he can't, it's good. Yang Jian and his wife sent a eunuch to see Yang Yong, Yang Yong was arrogant and arrogant, but Yang Guang and his wife greeted him in person and sent them to the door. Before he ascended the throne, the merits of the Southern Expedition were not mentioned, and the virtues he showed, such as frugality, simplicity, humility, humility, tirelessness in learning, courtesy and virtuous corporal, not fond of lust and dogs, and both civil and military, can be said to be a model of human virtue in his body.
After seeing this history, Li Wei couldn't help but widen his eyes and scolded secretly, grandma's, is this still the tyrant?
"Di Qing, please rest assured, Gu may not do a good job, Emperor Yang of Sui still disdains."
In fact, the reason why Di Renjie reminded me was also because Li Wei did too well in some aspects. He can be kind to the people, but he can be so kind to a slave and maid, even Di Renjie himself may not be able to do it. Besides, it's not old-fashioned to admit death.
If such a prince becomes an emperor, what kind of great deeds will he make?
There are not a lot of worries and loyal thoughts, he wants to immediately overthrow Li Zhi and Wu Zetian and support Li Wei to ascend the throne.
It's too good, Yang Guang and Wang Mang can still find some pretentiousness, but Li Wei can't find it, especially the actions on the Jitian sacrifice, which is not a true expression, and it can't be done at all. This made him a distraction at times.
Di Renjie turned to the topic again and said: "The imperial court also has some plans, in the sixth year of Wude (623), the households in the world will be classified as the third class, and in the ninth year of Wude, they will be classified as the ninth class. Some meritorious families will take back the rewarded land after they have declined. But as the population increased, new rewards appeared, and the land became scarce. When dividing households, officials may not fulfill their duties, and even accept bribes. This is the accumulation of disadvantages of the imperial court. However, it is imperative not to levy taxes on land. ”
This is the second time that I have said that it must not be.
"Why?"
"The current big farmers are the famous families that have been retained by the Sui and Tang dynasties, such as Cui Lu Li Zheng Wang, the second is the meritorious family and the important ministers of the court, and the third is the emerging Shu family. These people were the elite of the imperial court. If taxes are levied on land, the interests of the entire elite are touched. Even if Taizong is alive, he doesn't dare to do it easily. If they are not offended, they will still change the original field, and the person who has the land will not see much profit, and the loss of the land will be full of complaints. Pay for one's whistle. Besides, if the land is taxed, the acres of land must be re-measured, so the world is in turmoil, which may cause trouble. In fact, the crisis is not serious now, but I am afraid that it will be 30 years, 50 years, 100 years from now. ”
A few words sealed Li Wei's thoughts.
"This drawback will eventually be removed."
Di Renjie was silent in thought. There will definitely be a way, but I can't think of it. Even if there were, labor pains were inevitable. Finally, he said, "Wait! ”
These are not considered by you, nor by me, you must wait for you to take the position before you can slowly think of a way to solve it.
"yes, just wait."
…………………………………………
But I don't know what year I have to wait, and I may not be able to wait.
But the two of them weren't the ones waiting.
The guards were waiting, and they didn't wait for a long time, and when they got through the "Ramadan" that Li Wei made, although they didn't complain, they still didn't like the ban on meat and hunting.
Xu Yanbo is waiting, waiting for Li Wei to return to Luoyang. Not only Ramadan, but staying in this line of people, there is no face.
The ministers of Luoyang in Chang'an are also waiting, and none of them are fools in the drought and wind, which makes them feel that a storm is coming. However, thinking of the queen's means, most people still didn't dare to say anything, so they had to wait and see.
Even Wu Zetian was waiting, and the situation was very unfavorable to her, so she put a glimmer of hope in those pools in Chang'an......
……………………………………
Bi'er bent down to look at the green seedlings, when she was a child, her family was poor, so she opened some land in the open space in the workshop and planted some vegetables and grains to spend the day. But I didn't know much, I looked at Li Wei coming over, and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know how the sorghum of the few plots of land planted in Huangzhuang looks like with your method?" ”
"Big brother, when are you going to plant sorghum?" Li Lingyue asked curiously.
"It's not me who is planting, it's the people in Xijing Huangzhuang who are planting, but I asked them to use some methods in "Qi Min Yaoshu" to plant."
More than that! Even Di Renjie didn't pay attention, the prince is benevolent, and it is not surprising that he cares about farming.
"Oh, I'm going back to Xijing too."
Can this be said to go back and come when it is said?
However, Li Wei is indeed doting to some extent. Although he also played, he didn't put down his books, and he didn't spend much time with each other during the day. So let the guards show her around. I was greatly affected by Li Wei, and when I saw the poor, I wanted relief. This is not difficult, unlike Chang'an, which is full of disaster victims, even if she looks at it, she can't see dozens of poor people, so she relief.
It's been a long time, and I'm tired of seeing it on the mountain, so I want to go to Dengfeng County, which is not far away.
This time, there are more poor people, and no matter how much Dengfeng County Order covers up, there are still some bad phenomena. I don't understand, anyway, I think it's not good, plug in and act chivalrous. The most terrible thing may be that Li Wei did not make it clear in some aspects, indiscriminately, and it was all rich and wrong. Not necessarily so, and although the poor are pitiful, not all are good. The rich are not all bad. Especially some lazy prodigals, who think that there is an opportunity, and when they heard that Li Lingyue was traveling, they were looking for trouble with the rich.
As a result, some wealthy families or big families in Dengfeng County did not dare to go out.
A cadre of officials in Dengfeng County couldn't cry or laugh.
Fortunately, she didn't know how to deal with it, but when she saw it, she lost money and food, but there was no criminal law such as a cane. Those who have bumped into bad luck have no choice but to take money and food out to spend money to eliminate disasters.
Well, in general, these days, near the Shaolin Temple, has won a good reputation, quite a bit of a girl's and children's version of Bao Qingtian's posture.
In fact, after Wu Zetian and Li Zhi heard it, they also laughed and wrote a letter to Li Wei to take care of it a little. Discipline is discipline, why add a slight word. So Li Wei didn't care.
stroked Li Lingyue's head and said, "Go back now, it's still Qingmiao, and when autumn comes, we should return to Xijing at that time, and I'll take you to see it again." ”
Wu Zetian had hope for the bamboo paper, but still didn't believe it. But Li Wei is very confident in bamboo paper, not a complicated process. It's just that there is not much confidence in the harvest. Fertilizer is not a problem, and even afraid of over-fertilization, causing negative effects of fat growth, but also let the people of Huangzhuang also use different amounts of fertilizer. The planting method is no different from that of later generations, and even the degree of careful servo is even better.
The key is the seed, and the seed is also evolving, and the current seed is definitely not very good. If it weren't for this, the yield per 1,000 kilograms per mu would not be realistic, but the yield per kilogram per mu might not be a dream!
How much to pour at the bottom, you can only look at the autumn harvest!
They were talking, and the old farmer was already suspicious, walked over, and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, are you His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"Yes."
"The subjects pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess."
"No need to be polite."
"The prince is Prince Ren, and the princess is also a good princess."
came again, but Li Wei was very happy, this time he brought his sister here, and finally got the biggest benefit. It's all praising yourself, but it's actually hurting yourself, but if you praise yourself and your sister, the problem doesn't matter. This is good, do you want to pull all three younger brothers out in the future? Five brothers and sisters, no matter where they go?
But when people recognized it, people immediately came to watch, and it was the field of a certain county magistrate, no matter how good it was, it couldn't attract everyone's interest. So he left and returned to Shaolin Temple.
On the way, I was thinking about Di Renjie's words again. I know that I don't have the right to ask, but as a traverser, I can't find a solution? After thinking about it, I didn't have a clue, but I vaguely felt in my heart that no matter what ideas I made in the field, it might not lead to good results. Moving around, it's still those fields, and the farmers are very hard. For example, before wearing, farmers began to have a little subsidy, and they were still the most bitter group of people. Industry? Commerce?
But when I thought of my father's scolding that day, I immediately dispelled my thoughts. Let's settle down, besides, now the small workshop, what kind of industry is there?
Returning to Shaolin Temple, Wei Yuanzhong suddenly whispered to him: "Xijing has sent a letter, since His Highness left Xijing, he has calculated his income, and made a total profit of more than 5,300 yuan. ”
said very weakly, a scholar, a court official, actually said good. Although it is an insignificant income.
Di Renjie looked at them suspiciously.
Li Wei explained: "Di Qing, that workshop was actually opened alone. The East Palace is financially tight, and sometimes Lone sees that the people are poor, but there is nothing he can do, so he adapts. ”
Di Renjie's face was strange for a while, and he had always mistakenly thought that he was subsidizing the Jiang family, although Bi'er's two elder brothers were officials, but the matter of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep was being done by major families, and even many officials were doing it. This workshop is still in the hands of the Jiang family.
The prince in business?
After a while, he said, "This is not very good. ”
Li Wei had a headache when he heard this, and even Di Renjie said this, which shows the whole society's opinion of businessmen. I had to say: "Di Qing, Lone knows that it is not very good, but he can do some good things, he can help some ordinary people, and his reputation is dirty, and Lone doesn't care." ”
"It's not good, it's not good," Di Renjie thought about it while still shaking his head.
This will be persuaded later, turned his head, and asked Wei Yuanzhong: "Why do you get so much profit?" ”
Although someone was sent to assist the prince, when he heard the word profit, Wei Yuanzhong also frowned, choked up, and replied: "The businessmen thought that it was opened by Jiang Xiaoniang's family, and when they heard that His Majesty and the queen appreciated Jiang Xiaoniang, they didn't care about profits, and bought goods in a big way, in order to climb this relationship. So the profit, the profit, the profit rose. ”
Li Wei suddenly had an idea and asked, "What will happen if the imperial court levies a salt tax?" ”
"Your Highness, no." Di Renjie said hurriedly.
Five things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt and vinegar. Originally, the price of salt was quite high, and once the tax was levied, the people's livelihood would be affected immediately.
"But what if there's a lot of salt and it's cheap and fast?"
"It's unlikely."
"What if you say, or to put it simply, there will be a lot of salt, and the cost may be less than a penny per bucket?"
Each bucket is less than a penny, even if it is transported to Luoyang in Lingnan, the freight will not exceed 50 Wen, even if it is a small bucket, there are 50 catties, that is, more than 20 catties later, compared with the current salt price, it is still much lower. There are some taxes that can be levied.
But Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Impossible." ”
Suddenly, he looked at Li Wei suspiciously again: "Could it be that Your Highness ......?"
