Chapter 273: Twelve Words (II)

To be precise, it's a watchbook.

It is some of the principles and policies for governing the country written by Wu Zetian, a total of 12 articles. The first is to develop agriculture and mulberry and lightly pay for it. Encourage farmers to cultivate and weave, cultivation is cultivation, but also includes the development of new cultivated land, the promotion of advanced farming tools and technology, the development of sideline industry, weaving not only includes encouraging the people to plant mulberry hemp, but also includes cotton, as well as textile technology. That is, a comprehensive summary of the various agricultural innovations brought by Li Wei in the past few years, as well as the formal popularization and promotion.

For example, planting green manure to raise fields, filling seedlings with nutrient bowls, transplanting, new ploughs, new waterwheels, three-dimensional farming, cotton planting, bringing back primitive textile machinery from Dashi, and some other advanced methods verified by various officials from the "Qi Min Yao Shu".

In order not to cause a disturbance among the people, the imperial court only asked the officials to select experimental fields for experimentation, so that the people could see and learn from it. In fact, the officials themselves do not understand much, and this is also a process of learning. But let Wu Zetian sum it up and officially promote it to the people of the world.

In fact, Li Wei disagreed, the weather is different in different places, the terrain is different, the water and soil are different, and adapting measures to local conditions is the best way. For example, after the mother was evacuated, the father and the ministers agreed, what should the local officials do? In some places, it can't be promoted at all. On the contrary, a few years ago, my father's point-to-point approach was more reliable. As for the light punishment, it is even more on paper, but the king is not brutal, he wants to. However, how can the state not levy levies? The key is what to levy, the country's needs for a year are fixed, or the more levy will be more, and the less levy will be less. The difference between these taxes and whether these taxes are levied on the poor people, as is levied on the rich landlords, or on the merchants.

If Li Wei is allowed to choose, the first one will be killed.

The second is to exempt the Gyeonggi region from forced labor, because the capital is an important place of the state and has a large number of workers, so all the people in the Jingzhao, Fengyi, Fufeng and other areas of Chang'an auxiliary area will be exempted from forced labor, so as to consolidate the national capital. For example, if it is two canals, a large number of people in the capital will be used immediately, so the burden on the people in the capital will be reduced.

This one is not very good. There are more than 3 million people in Chang'an and Fuzhou, and if Luoyang and Fuzhou are added, it may reach more than 5 million people. Of course, it is good to be exempted from forced labor, and it is better that the whole country should be exempted. How can it be reduced, is it possible that in the future, once the construction of the two Beijing areas, the imperial court will take out money to hire them?

That is impossible, the reason why the two canals are hired is that the construction period is long, with the current construction progress, it may take about six years to complete, at least five months per year, and at least more than 40,000 people per year. If you don't use the employment system, you will be angry. However, there are many small projects in the Liangjing area, and they still need the conscription of the people to carry out the construction. It would be advisable to exempt all the people from forced labor and adopt the employment system, but there would be no doubt that taxes would be increased on the people.

In fact, this is a confusing game of moving, which is more relaxed for the people of the two capitals, but cruel to the people of other states. Increase the burden on the people of other states and counties to give personal favors to the people of the two capitals.

was robbed to death by Li Wei again.

The third is to influence the world with virtue. This is Wu Zetian summed up some lessons of previous dynasties, especially in the later period of Zhenguan and the use of troops in the east and west of this dynasty, so he planned to stop conquest by force, make peace with the Quartet, and make the four seas peaceful.

Li Wei was almost speechless when he saw that she had given many examples in the seal. Now that I know peace, why did I go earlier, the princess of the family will send her head to discuss peace, and it may even push the entire Tubo ***, but you don't say anything......

Besides, can you really convince people with virtue?

Will the Tibetan Khitan Turks talk to you about morality? If you really don't cultivate weapons, what kind of harmony comes, and convince people with virtue, this country will almost become a soft egg if it is not finished. At most, it is said that unnecessary expansion is minimized, and financial and national resources are wasted, but armament is mandatory.

Or snatch it up!

The fourth article is to prohibit the flashy atmosphere of the north, south, middle and Shang departments of the imperial court, and the fifth article is to advocate frugality. The South Guide Ya, that is, the Prime Minister's Office, is a directly subordinate agency of the central government, commonly known as the North Ya. The middle refers to Zhongshu Province, also known as the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and Xitai. Shang refers to Shangshu Province, also known as Dutai, Wenchangtai, Zhongtai, and Southern Province. Article 4 and Article 5 are mutually subsidy, allowing higher officials to take the lead, and then streamlining civil construction to save money and labor, especially the construction of palaces. The previous construction of the eastern capital has caused a heavy burden on the people, and there are complaints.

These two items are good suggestions, but now the court officials are already very clear, and Li Wei is not seen in other dynasties and generations, which can be seen from the history books, like the court during this time, it is still rare. Whether it is Hao Chujun, or Dai Zhide, or Zhang Wenjun, they are all carefully maintaining the court. You can also single it out and mention it again. As for the fifth article, which is a better strategy, Li Wei also said that if he ascends the throne, at most the original palace will be repaired, and no more will be built.

But he knows all kinds of mothers, Mingtang, Heaven, burned and rebuilt, Sanyang Palace, Kyushu Ding, search the world of iron, including the collection of farmers' farm tools, control the iron Xiangshan, and search the world of gold and Dayi Zhong, because the bell is big, the world's gold is not enough to stop, and so on, has nothing to do with frugality.

Of course, after staying for a long time, I also know that politics is just a game to deceive the people, and if you want to succeed, one is thick and black, and the other is shameless. Don't take a politician's words seriously.

The sixth is to open up the way of speech, and the seventh is to put an end to slander. In fact, Wu Zetian also played a trick on these two items, separated and did not attract attention. Otherwise, it can be interpreted as admonishment, and the emperor must also have the grace of admonition. However, we must not confuse the public. It can also be used to impeach and obstruct the prince's actions, but it can also be interpreted as preventing officials from attacking and framing her. The impeachment of the crown prince is well-intentioned, and he always wants the prince to do better. But the attack on her was fatal, and I hated to dismiss her immediately.

In fact, when these two are linked together, we can already see the domineering spirit of my mother in the future, who prosper with me, and perish who goes against me.

Read on. When it comes to the eighth article, it is to study Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", and all subjects below the prince level must read Lao Tzu's articles. Li Yuan is mostly of Hu blood, so he is far-fetched, saying that his family is from the Li family in Longxi, and saying that he is a descendant of Lao Tzu for a while, and respecting Lao Tzu as Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan. Therefore, do what she likes, let the Li clan relatives and officials take a look, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and she has no outside intentions.

The ninth is to serve the mother for three years, which involves an ancient ritual problem, there is a small filial piety, the number of seven seven, the middle filial piety, the period of one year, the big filial piety, three years to complete. Some of the rituals in the ancient rites were slightly unfair to women, so Wu Zetian made some reforms to slightly elevate the status of women. He talked a lot about etiquette, clothing, and mourning periods. It may be well-intentioned, but it is equivalent to empty talk. Each official has the way of interpreting the etiquette system, the people have the way of the people, and the family has the way of the family. Wu Zetian has no ability to regulate it at all. Don't talk about Wu Zetian, even Li Zhi can't do it, if you want to standardize the etiquette system, will those arrogant gate valves buy the accounts of the Li family's royal family?

Article 10 is that meritorious officials who have been meritorious for more than five years will no longer be evaluated. It mainly refers to the honorable officer, that is, what is the pillar country, the hereditary Northern and Southern Dynasties system comes from, according to the number of military merits, the commander will be rewarded, no matter what, just add the official himself, it is an honorary duty. By the Tang Dynasty, it had weakened, and it was even only used as an honor to reward the descendants of meritorious heroes, or the disciples of relatives outside the sect. But in the early Tang Dynasty, because of the many wars, a large number of soldiers were recruited, many honors were awarded, and some honors were also rewarded. In addition, the three rank of the special officer can participate in the selection of the permanent officer, and the second rank and above can enjoy the privilege of the door shade. Therefore, it is not for nothing.

All military merits awarded, on the battlefield or after the war, by the army *** record the soldiers' achievements, Luo Bin Wang is this position, reported to the province of Shangshu, the Ministry of Officials Commander Lang repeatedly reviewed, verified as true, and then draw up the official rank, report to the emperor, waiting for the award. In order to prevent the front-line soldiers from deceitful, falsely reporting their military exploits, or killing civilians to make military merits, this examination is very strict. Even after a few years, it can be turned out and checked again.

Again, this is a fine tradition. However, after Wu Zetian's change, even if the meritorious service of five years ago was lied to the military merit, he would stop being held accountable. It seems to be a simplification of management procedures, but in fact it is the same as learning from Laozi's heart to collect the clan, and to exempt the capital from forced labor and the heart of the people in the capital, which is the heart of accepting soldiers.

Article 11 is to increase the annual income of Beijing officials above the eighth grade, and the price of goods in the capital is becoming more expensive, and it is inevitable to increase the income. But if you want to pay a small amount of money lightly, and you want to raise your salary, where can you make money in the court? Or did my mother see a slight increase in state income, especially some of the income she brought to the court, and she also moved this idea?

This money is planned to reduce the taxes of the people, not for you to buy the hearts of officials!

Article 12 is that officials who have been in office for a long time and have talent and virtue can be promoted. All twelve, if Li Wei is allowed to choose, at least six to seven will be killed, and the rest are all farting, but this one Li Wei approves.

Many talented officials, because of their humble backgrounds, are not reused even though they have made achievements in their posts. Liu Renliang is a special case, and it is the credit of fighting on the battlefield, otherwise it would also be unheard. With this policy, some of these officials can be promoted and reused.

But these twelve are very helpful to the mother, and can buy the hearts of many people, the people of the capital, the clan, the officials, and the soldiers......

Returning this performance to his mother, Wu Zetian said, "Hong'er, what do you think of the discussion in the palace?" ”

In fact, Li Wei was saying in his heart that his mother, a prehistoric giant bear, had finally come out of her hibernation lair and showed the world her various methods.

But Li Wei is not in a hurry, his father is indecisive and suspicious of himself, and his mother is going to walk out of the front desk, of course, at this time, his father is gradually losing control, and his mother will not fail to seize the "opportunity". His father's righteousness can't bring him down, and his mother can't fight her.

Although the mother sits here, the weather is Wanzhuang, graceful and luxurious. can count the people who fell under her skirt, Queen Wang, Concubine Xiao Shu, eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Han Yuan, Liu Zheng, Yu Zhining, Gao Cheng, Shangguanyi, Liu Xiangdao, etc., maybe there will be more candidates in the future, including the unpredictable Pei Xingjian.

Therefore, Li Wei is ready to flee again. The conditions have been created, and with the fleet, the Nanhai Zhudao can be managed calmly.

It's not so pessimistic, since the mother asks herself, it doesn't seem to be very bad for herself. It's just that my mother can't guess what her intentions are. So he replied: "The queen mother's policy will make a great contribution to the society and the people." The queen mother's thoughts are safe, and her sons are not as good as just in case. ”

"No, your father's condition is getting worse and worse, so you and the palace have to contribute more to your father and share some heavy responsibilities."

“…… It's ......"

"However, this palace feels that there are still some unsafe places, Hong'er, can you refer to this palace?" After Wu Zetian finished speaking, he handed this performance to him again.

Li Wei was a little dizzy, in fact, the so-called twelve strategies, Li Wei had heard some of them in later generations, and many people blew it to the sky, but there was nothing on the earth. Now that I've seen it, it's about the same thing, except for the emptiness, or it's buying people's hearts.

You have bought people's hearts, where have you left me?

I also want to refer to it for you!

Wu Zetian was in high spirits, and she didn't know what promises she got from her father's mouth, which was different from the malaise she saw a few months ago, and said: "You have a son, and the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to having a successor." This is good news, so you and I have worked together to make this plan a good job, and we are even more happy. ”

"Yes......"

I still don't understand, this is my mother's recital to win people's hearts and get out of the front desk, why let myself modify it?

"Come on," Wu Zetian sighed, and asked the servants to take out a lot of tribute ginseng, bird's nest, Ganoderma lucidum, white fungus and other supplements, and reward them to Bi'er.

Walking out, the weather was bright, the sun was a little dazzling, Li Wei held the twelve in his hand, and couldn't help but say: "Could it be that the sun and the moon are in the sky?" ”
