Chapter 478: In a Dream in Heaven and Earth (2)

Liu Renliang replied: "Your Highness, this is okay, Jiā will deal with it for the queen." It just so happened that we got out and handed over the case to Pei Xianggong. ”

As soon as Li Wei thought about it, he immediately understood.

In the past few years, it is very important to grow, otherwise it is very difficult to talk to these cattle people, don't spread it to yourself, just listen, you may not be able to understand. You can't ask everything, can you make it clear. It's okay to ask once, it's okay to ask again, ask anything, what will the minister think?

Oh, this prince has this IQ, and he has this idea, will he try his best to support it.

Liu Renliang means that since Wu Zetian compromised, the crown prince also had to express it. How do you mean it? can only give the Ming Chongyan case file to Wu Zetian. How to cover it up is Wu Zetian's responsibility. Anyway, this is also Wu Zetian's good strength. One is to cover up the ugliness for the royal family, and the other is to shirk for the prince.

Wu Zetian can shirk for the prince or not, but will he ignore the prince's feelings? If it were someone else, maybe she would deal with it sloppily, but who is Wu Zetian, can she not think of this section? Therefore, it is inevitable that the prince will enter the East Palace from outside the city and the five hundred soldiers stationed there, and find a reason. I don't care what the reason is, but I won't not look for it.

After all, if a year and a half have passed, it will be over. But in the past two months, Liu Renliang and the others all know the truth, and they can still spread the matter, and it will cause an uproar. Of course, everyone is satisfied, and there is no need to spread the word, so as not to break the net.

In the final result, you must lie, and now the presiding judge is Zhu Jingze, assisted by Di Renjie, and supported by Liu Renliang. couldn't make it to tell this lie, so let Pei Yan deal with it. Isn't it Qinggao, look at how you Qinggao and Jiā to Pei Yan to take over the interrogation, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi are also relieved, Pei Yan will take over it is inevitable.

Zhu Jing is an honest man, reacted, and suddenly laughed.

Liu Renliang said: "The case has been tried for a rough time, except for some fragmentary clues, and the clues of Xijing are still being interrogated, and Ming Chongyan has not been arrested, basically all the evidence has been proposed. Since the two saints took the initiative to let me, let's go to Shangyang Palace together and give these files to the two saints. ”

This is again covering for the crown prince, after all, the edict has not been issued, once it is issued, it is the emperor, and there is no need to be so guarded. But it was not issued, the queen took the initiative to come to the East Palace three times before and after, and the prince must go to Shangyang Palace in person tomorrow morning.

This is the final and most crucial step.

The prince went to show his goodwill, and he couldn't go with heavy armor, but what if there was an accident?

Don't say no.

With such a big political change, anything can happen. Moreover, it is difficult for outsiders to know the truth, what is recorded in the history books may not be true, and the common people are even more tragic in any era and will never be able to see the truth.

With several people with you, you can go to Shangyang Palace generously.

Usually Liu Renliang is very sleek, but this time for the sake of the prince, he can be regarded as a free man. However, the two saints, even if they have the authorization of more than the third grade, there is no major fault, and they dare not degrade it at will, if that is the case, the prince also has the authorization of officials below the fourth grade, so everyone fights with each other. The country has a set.

Anyway, it has been labeled as the core of the prince, and at this time, I have to let it go

"Thank you," Li Wei said.

"Don't thank you, this is the minister's job. If the prince does not do well, the minister will also write a strong admonishment. ”

"Orphans are welcome, if it is in the future...... If you don't do well in Lone, as long as you don't do it for your own heart, even if you are like Wei Zheng, you will be happy to break Lone's robe and forcibly admonish. ”

"Your Royal Highness," several ministers are not evil, why do you support the prince so much, don't you just want the Tang Dynasty to have a good emperor in the future? When I heard this, my heart was hot.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing for Your Highness to think about."

"What?"

"Your Highness, once you ascend the throne, you must have a meritorious achievement."

This is the advantage of having the right to deal with major politics in his hands, otherwise this political achievement that can be done by the prince will not be able to be shared. After finishing speaking, Liu Renliang looked at the prince with hot eyes. The crown prince is still lacking in many places, such as experience, such as means, it has been slightly better in recent years, but it is still a little soft, of course, as a minister, he may be very happy to serve under such an emperor, but as a superior, he should be a little tougher in order to be more effective.

But the prince's whimsical ideas are unmatched by no one in the world.

Take a look at what the two canals have brought? Not only the two canals themselves, but also the Great Voyage, the colonies were still not valued, and seeing that the people were not interested, Li Wei also gave up his idea. But how much is the tariff in the sea market in a year? And how much tax has been pulled? Then there is the fire opening canal, which is for the state, firecrackers, festive use, fire packets, military use. Another example is to go to Nanzhao once, and the trebuchet came out. I went to Qinghai once, and I added a Zampu to the Tang Dynasty (is this considered the Tang Dynasty?). ）。

Take care of the drought, changes in farming practices, and increased yields. A new plow appears. I bought a few pieces of paper for my second brother, it was too expensive, and the bamboo paper came out.

To put it mildly, it is like the stars that the people say, which come down from heaven.

Li Wei is a little difficult, how much knowledge can he remember? Even if you can make a small invention, this is a political achievement of ascending the throne, and you can't do it.

He said hesitantly: "Liu Qing, I have many shortcomings. For example, the government military system gradually deteriorated, but Lone did not come up with any way to replace it. Even if there is, there will be too many offended interests, and once Lone ascends the throne, the roots will be unstable, and it will be inconvenient to implement reforms. ”

"Exactly." Li Yiyan said. It is better not to do anything, and not to offend too many powerful people at this time.

"And the country is not rich. Although it is said that hiding wealth from the people is the foundation of governing the country, but the treasury is too empty, and it is not beautiful. ”

This article, a few people still do not pay attention to it, thinking that the past few years have been very good, if it were not for the huge cost of the war between the two canals and Qinghai, coupled with the endless disasters, the treasury would have been like the Western Han Dynasty Wenjing, the money and grain were in surplus. Li Wei didn't say much, if he said that there was a dynasty later, the area was less than half of the Tang Dynasty, and the tax revenue reached more than 160 million yuan a year, these people would definitely not believe it.

Skip.

Counting down again, this is also very important, counting it today, it will be the foundation of governing the country in the future. The more you count, the more you can count it, the more you can admire these cadres.

"The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, and the polarization is too serious, which is also not conducive to national stability."

Several people frowned, and many people were concerned, but it was even more difficult to solve.

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, to facilitate the stability of the country, the rent regulation was formulated. For example, this relocation of the people to Qinghai is a real move to add a few prefectures and counties directly under the central government of our Datang, and it also protects the safety of Xijing. However, state and county officials have made some obstructions with varying degrees of severity. And the acres of each field are not equal, so those with less land have to bring the land to the big households. The bigger the household, the worse the national interests will be. ”

Another frown, this is another difficult problem, even if it can be solved, now is not the time.

But throughout, there was no mention of the edges.

Expand down, there is no strong support for the country's internal affairs, there are no more people and money, even if it is opened, it will not be able to occupy it, and Li Wei also likes to expand the territory, but it is not this way of expanding the territory. But speaking out and letting these people go back and think about it, these topics are very big and require everyone's wisdom.

He added: "In fact, the most important thing is that the number of tax-exempt households is too heavy. ”

That's the real thing.

Why do the big families unscrupulously annex because they do not pay taxes, they harvest more in good years, and sell grain at high prices in famine years, annex land, and accept tenant farmers. Later, it was said that the Tang Dynasty had a population of 140 million at its peak, which was wrong. When the Tang Dynasty arrived in Tianbao, there were only 60 million households at most, but the actual population was nearly 90 million. These 30 million people are the first to flee from the household, and the second is the population and tribe of the large families who are hiding. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the ratio of the population counted by the household department to the missing population was not heavy, and now it is only three to one, and then more and more, and it reached two to one by Tianbao. Go on, there will be Huang Chaozhi without An Shizhi

If there is no tax, the scale of annexation by large households will be seriously reduced.

Not only large families, but also monks and nuns who were exempt from taxation, there were also many people in the Tang Dynasty, with an average of more than 200,000. These temples occupy a large number of monks' paths, not only do they occupy a large number of fields. So Li Wei said that it is fundamental.

Di Renjie said: "Your Highness, that's right, but it's even more difficult to move. ”

"That's not what Lone said. Move, Lone will not move at present, and he will not act forcefully in the future, and the interests involved are too great. However, it can be relieved in a roundabout way. Suppose the imperial court spends a lot of money every year to ransom the tribes from large families, and then emigrate. For example, in Qinghai now, there are 60,000 or 70,000 hectares of cultivated land that can be cultivated, and if Dafeichuan and other places are recovered in the future, tens of thousands of hectares of cultivated land can be removed. This allows more people to come and farm. In the future, there may be Anxi and Liaodong. ”

That's a good idea.

In the Tang Dynasty, the human trade was very prosperous, and the tribes were sold like livestock. At that time, Di Hui and Di Hao's prices in the Qinglou were sky-high, which was a special case. An ordinary strong tribe is worth less than twenty cents, which is less expensive than a horse, and even less expensive for old and young.

With 2 million yuan a year, more than 1 million parts can be redeemed, and when these parts are resolved, they can become the official household of the state, with taxes to be levied, soldiers to be levied, and the inequality between the rich and the poor can be balanced.

As long as it is carried out for a few years, there will be fewer and fewer national ministry, and the contradictions will be eased. But Li Yiyan said hesitantly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it won't work this year, the treasury is tight." ”

"Lone also knows, but since Liu Xiang said it. Gu Du remembered one thing, a few days ago, the envoy of the Wa Kingdom was born by the river, and Zeng Yang asked Gu to send troops to Silla for them. ”

"Your Highness, this is even more unacceptable," Zhu Jing hurriedly persuaded.

That's of course, I'm not a fool, helping the Japanese people to fight bāngzi, can't get into the water in the head?

I won't say it, and no one will believe it. Said: "That's not what Lone meant, they have been wronged, let them find it by themselves." But since you ask for help, you must help. Once enthroned, the orphan would summon its ministers to discuss the matter. Send these envoys back to the Wa Kingdom, and then sell them our ships and weapons of the Tang Dynasty, and support them in their attack on Silla. For example, Silla also sent an envoy to ask us for the Tang Dynasty, and Gu would agree, but they behaved badly and needed uā money to buy ......"

A few people were stunned, and then they all laughed.

That is, the sale of arms, and now no one is officially doing this. But when it comes to this, everyone understands. After the Tang Dynasty got the most benefits, the people of the two countries suffered countless casualties, and the economy was finished, and it was bound to be crippled, and when the Tang Dynasty wanted to conquer, it would become easier.

"These money silks can be used to redeem the tribes, which can be regarded as good governance. What do you think? ”

It wouldn't hurt any of Howe's interests, and while it was weird, it was a good idea. Several people laughed, and after laughing, they said, "Oh, Your Highness has a good idea." ”

I am also happy in my heart, don't you want such a rare whimsy as Your Highness?

It also made it easier to conquer Silla in the future.

As the head of the crown prince's accession to the throne, it is enough. Of course, it will not be so clear when the time comes, and it will be more tactful.

After the discussion, Zhu Jing sent someone to Dali Temple to take the file and said, "Your Highness, let's go to Shangyang Palace." ”

This time, the crown prince is one step closer to the throne

P: I'm about to enter the emperor chapter, let's talk about how to rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty for Lao Wu's reference (except for colonization, because the first two books have been written, this book is written about navigation, and it is a prosperous economy, plus there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty at this time, so I don't plan to write it).
