Chapter 481: In Heaven and Earthly Dreams (5)

After saying that the country needs to have a goal, and after raising talents, Li Wei said: "My Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, including Shandong, Henan, Guanzhong, Jiangzhun Central Plains territories, and Fanhu territories such as the Western Regions Turkic. The larger the territory, the more difficult it is to govern. In particular, the customs and habits of the Fan people, the Hu people, and the Yi people are different from those of the Central Plains. I have been to Nanzhao and Qinghai, and because I have fled, I have been to Dongnuqiang, Tubo Duomi and Subi. I've seen many. Hu people and Fan people, how the state treats them, the policy has always been ambiguous. Farmers can only reap the harvest if they work hard, and only when they work can they be paid, and they must pay for what they want. Therefore I thought, if you don't treat people with sincerity, why should people treat me with sincerity? I used to read the answer between Emperor Wen of Han and Wei Tuo, and I was below zero (why don't these two texts include ancient texts?) ）。 If it weren't for Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to treat Yi with sincerity, how could the Han Dynasty be pacified? ”

There is hardly anyone here who has not read these two articles.

"The territory of the Tang Dynasty was vast, and the population of the area occupied by Hu Fanyi was very large. Only when Hu Fan surrenders can the country be pacified. If the court despises it in its heart, how can Hu Fan surrender? Therefore, I said in Qinghai that as long as we are loyal to our Datang and Hanhu families, what is the difference between each other, his wife is my wife, and his relatives and friends are my relatives and friends. If I don't accept it, the king will be killed, and he is also a righteous teacher. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

This was another major issue in the Tang Dynasty.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty was very large, and it has never existed since ancient times. However, there are Nanzhao in the southwest, there are also many Yi people in Lingnan, and there are more chaotic people in Liaodong, with *** people, Yan people, and Khitan people. Not to mention Mobei, there are Tiele people, Turkic people, bone people, Dubo people, and there are also people in the Western Regions, Turks, Zhaowu nine surnames, and other tribes. From time to time, it was a rebellion, and it was not nice to say, and it became a piece of chicken in the Tang Dynasty, and it was tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to lose it. The imperial court used the method of restraint to govern, but the results were not very good.

This is not what Li Wei wants.

This discussion is very important, but it certainly does not expect any clear solution, and everyone is buzzing again.

Li Wei took the initiative to say: "I still have some ideas, it's not early today, let's not discuss it for the time being, I'll think about it carefully another day, and then discuss it." ”

It was all right, but there were still some Hu Chen's generals among the ministers, and their eyes flashed and they were excited.

Li Zhi's eyes were not very good, but Wu Zetian's eyes were very sharp, and he frowned. is just to win people's hearts, this son is not much better than himself. She thinks about rights, but Li Wei thinks about the country. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, after this sentence is spread, it will have an incomparable effect on the stability of the country's borders.

Big move!

At this time, it was still too early to get off duty, and there was no time to even discuss in detail, so it can be seen how many things the emperor has to talk about?

Li Yiyan suddenly wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and Liu Renliang asked in a low voice, "Li Xianggong, what's wrong?" ”

"The minister is happy, I don't know how Dai Xianggong and Zhang Xianggong will feel when they see His Majesty today?"

Liu Renliang is also embarrassed, he has become the prime minister of all those who have fought for him, what else is there to fight for, isn't it just to fight for a good emperor in the future of the Tang Dynasty, and finally look forward to it.

The two were full of emotion.

Li Wei ignored them and continued: "Regarding how to govern the country, Emperor Taizong once left twelve chapters of "Emperor Fan", and Emperor Taishang carried them out. Just now, I went to the palace with the Emperor Taishang, and I said a word. In the past ten years, there have been so many natural disasters, the country is stable, and the sons have admired it for a long time. ”

Li Zhi smiled slightly, although he was very unhappy in his heart, he still ate the sycophants.

Not only that, but this sentence is also a faint positioning, since you continue to praise yourself, you probably won't do anything against it in the future.

"There are also twelve words from the queen mother, which are also to the point of the times." In fact, the twelve words have not been implemented much at all, and no officials have taken it as the same thing. It's just that the later martial arts fans are desperately touting it. Most of them are suggestions for him, but it is better for Wu Zetian to win people's hearts. The contribution to the country is far less than Li Shimin's twelve chapters. But what should I do if I want my mother to be happy? has become an emperor, they are parents, they can't ***, and they can't continue to stalemate, so they have to warm up the cold relationship. Slap the ass again.

Li Yiyan did not object. Among them, he also understands the festival, anyway, he is the emperor, and he doesn't need to fight anymore. More ministers breathed a sigh of relief, this statement, the prince intends to be wronged, he is taking the initiative to repair the relationship, and the country will probably not be chaotic anymore.

Wu Zetian thought in his heart, this kid is giving me candy again.

I don't believe it, these years, one moment to feed candy, the other to use a knife. But on the day of his accession to the throne, he was still very happy to lift himself, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Emperor Taizong said that he would admonish him, Emperor Taishang said that he would open up his speech, and the queen mother said that he would speak widely. In the past, Zhuge Liang, the virtuous minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, also said that it is not advisable to be arrogant and unjust, and to stop the road of loyalty. Confucius asked Yu Laozi, saying that if the three of them go together, there will be my teacher, and the saint is like this, how dare my generation be arrogant? ”

This is also his heart, in his previous life, he was a small lecturer, a small white-collar worker who got three or four thousand oceans a month, or a very low-level little white-collar worker, and now he has become an emperor all of a sudden, I think I must think about it, that person doesn't want to be an emperor? But there are still some uneasy relatives in my heart, so I also want the minister to work together from the heart. And he also did this, in Qinghai, he just had any ideas, and he also consulted the opinions of various generals many times to fill in the gaps.

But the minister didn't think so.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's a good point." Li Yiyan made Li Wei's sentence boil with blood, and finally shouted out out of shape.

But no one said anything about him.

Today, Li Wei ascended the throne, with a generous bearing, reasonable and restrained speech, although I don't know what happened, let the emperor finally give in, but also showed some filial piety. As a son of heaven, there are already some virtuous emperors!

Li Wei pressed his hand and asked the ministers to stop and pat their ass, they are going to ascend the throne in the past few days, and they have thought about a lot of things, so they simply said it at once today, there are still many things to say, and there is no time to listen to the ministers sing carols. He also said, "What a man's eyes can see, and what a man's ears can hear, is limited." A person's wisdom is ultimately limited. Therefore, I would like to say a word here, hoping that all the secretaries will speak widely in the future, and if there is anything that I or others have not done well, please advise them one by one. I'm listening. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, bowed, and said sincerely, "Please." ”

Admonition is a cliché, but since ancient times, no emperor has had such a sincere attitude as Li Wei. A word of please, a bow, made the eyes of many ministers moisten.

Wu Zetian scratched Li Zhi's palm and said, "Your Majesty, Hong'er is stronger than you at the beginning." ”

“……”

This is the fourth thing, and then to the fifth thing, Li Wei said again: "Emperor Yang misled the country with arrogance and extravagance, and the lessons of the past are not far away, and the latter can be learned." Taizong said that he admired frugality, and the emperor was praised in the world for frugality, and the queen mother said that it was laborious and laborious. It can be seen that the importance of frugality to the country, a few days ago, Wei Hongji found me and said that he was wronged. I said something, although you have merit, you can have the luxury of confusing your father, and you can't be punished. Therefore, since then, I have issued an edict not to build any palaces, I have Taiji Palace, Daming Palace, the Imperial Palace and Shangyang Palace in the Eastern Capital, as well as the Jiucheng Palace in Qizhou, and the palaces in various parts of Taiyuan, which is enough. In addition, I will issue another edict, in the two East Palaces in Dongdu and Xijing, all palace maids over the age of 35, except for official positions and are not allowed to get out, will be released home so that their relatives can be reunited. There are also various chamberlains, in the case of enough people in the palace, do not add chamberlains. After all, castration loses humanity and hurts the peace. ”

He has no right to release the palace maids, he can only release the two palace ladies of the East Palace, and by virtue of this, he will also release thousands of palace moths to go home and get together. It's not just frugality, it's also a good deed.

He continued: "But ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, today I can release the palace moth, a few decades later, maybe in my old age, I will be greedy for pleasure, and the number of palace ladies in the palace will increase." Please remember what I said today, if I have any extravagance in the harem, the palace ladies, the chamberlain, and the construction of civil engineering, and other purposes, please write a book and tell me directly, and use my words to ridicule me, is it feasible? ”

"Whoa!"

At this time, the hearts of most of the courtiers were almost all convinced.

"There is one more thing that I have not thought clearly, please make it clear. Taizong said rewards and punishments, and the queen mother said that Du slandered. It is okay to admonish, but not to slander. The Qin Dynasty eliminated the country with violent laws, and the Eastern Han Dynasty abolished the country with laws. So Zhuge Liang did not forgive, and Wang killed Qiangde (Fu Jian's maternal brother). If there is no reward, it will be in the enterprising heart, and if there is no punishment, it will be in the vigilant heart. Therefore, I want to reconstruct the Tang Law and use the Tang Law as the basis for punishment and prison, rather than governing the law by people. I am afraid of losing morality, indulging in the legal code, and losing the heart of Confucian love, what do you think? ”

In fact, he wanted to do it very much, and he was afraid of controversy, so he pushed it to the ministers to have a headache.

Another burst of know-how, well said, but there are still concerns.

Li Wei didn't care, and said the seventh thing, saying: "The Han Wu was poor and dethroned, and he regretted it in his later years. Taizong also blamed himself for the two levies. In the two battles in Qinghai, countless soldiers were sacrificed, at least 200,000 wives of Hu and Han families were separated, parents lost their beloved children, and the state spent too much. But what will happen if Qinghai doesn't fight? Tubo is bound to be endless, he will encroach on the river every day, and then swallow the Qin and Wei, only a few minutes away from Xijing, and the country will be in danger. Therefore, Taizong said that he had learned martial arts, and he had also said that he had abstained from fierceness, and this precept from fierceness was not only used by officials, but also used in military affairs. No fighting, no training, no warriors, no brave generals. However, blindly expanding the territory will also cause a lot of harm to the country and the people. So there's a balance in between. When I saw the situation in Qinghai and the families of the soldiers who died, I kept thinking about how to balance it. There is an immature idea, and you can discuss whether it is appropriate or not. A country cannot do without a strong army, not only to expand its territory, but also to prevent change. Once there is a rebellion in the land of bondage, or a foreign invasion, there will be a general available, and there will be a soldier to be recruited. This requires military training, as well as actual combat training and training of generals. However, it is not possible to expand the territory indiscriminately, and take the initiative to distinguish the difference between disputes and rebellion in the fettered areas where disputes arise, and focus on mediation to reduce the number of wars, but it is also necessary to suppress the clans that clearly conspire to rebel. Soldiers can not be used for a thousand days, not for a day, or I say, the country raises the army, trains the army, and parades the military, but it needs to reduce unnecessary wars. The queen mother also said that the army should be moralized. The queen mother, the son-in-law, is this article the meaning of the queen mother? ”

Turned his head and asked Wu Zetian behind the curtain.

In fact, Wu Zetian doesn't understand military affairs, and the moralization of the army is simply rhetoric. Peace between the two countries is fought, what kind of morality can we talk about? Just like the old United States later, why are so many countries patting on the back of the back? It is precisely because of his ruthless fists that harmony is precious, and he is a fart! That's the saying that the incompetent cover up their ugliness.

The article Li Wei said is a sublimated version of Li Shimin's parade of martial arts, which is many times more clever than Wu Zetian's rest of the army.

Wu Zetian smiled awkwardly and said, "Exactly." ”

He said again: "Hong'er, you wait. ”

After a few whispers with Li Zhi, Li Zhi said: "Hong'er, what you said today is very beautiful, and I am very happy. ”

"Erchen doesn't dare to do anything."

"Don't be modest, yes, I should be rewarded, if you are wrong, I will also judge you."

"Yes."

"Since you have said it, I praise your beauty today, all the palace maids in the palaces and palaces, as well as the inner and outer teachers who are over forty years old, have no job, and they are all released to go home for reunion."

Wu Zetian said, your son is doing good deeds, Your Majesty, you can't let your son steal the limelight. Therefore, Li Zhi immediately agreed.

This is another good governance, once released, it is not a small number of people, at least thousands of palace ladies can go home, and there is no need to die of old age in the palace.

All the ministers are good together.

Only Liu Renliang and Pei Xingjian have very bright eyes, but in fact, when it comes to puppets, the current Emperor Taishang is the real puppet. Fortunately, His Majesty's accession to the throne came in time, otherwise in the next few years, the court would really become the queen's world.

After the ministers finished singing their songs, Li Wei said again: "A few days ago, the envoy of the Japanese kingdom visited me, and Silla was disrespectful and killed the envoy of the Japanese kingdom, and the imperial court must not ignore it, so I came up with an idea. Slightly controversial, but of great benefit to the country. However, I have limited time today, and I have already spoken with Liu Xianggong. Tomorrow, Zhuqing can discuss with Liu Xianggong to see if there are any areas that need to be added, or if there are any bad points, and write to the emperor, or to me. ”

Everyone was very suspicious, and looked at Liu Renliang one by one.

But Li Wei didn't give them time to think, and said the ninth thing: "I have an idea, I don't know very well, if a common people are so hungry that they can't even eat, and they are so poor that they don't even have the basic clothes to keep out the cold, will they abide by etiquette and benevolence?" ”

This question was abrupt, and the ministers could not speak.

He also said: "A few days ago, Hu Ying sent an envoy to the west and brought back many envoys, and his father conferred him knighthood, and I heard the sound of discussion. But in my heart I agree with it. Not only did he spread my Tang civilization to Yuanyi, but Hu Ying brought back many useful things. Like this one. ”

He took out a handful of rye seeds and asked the eunuch to pass them on to the courtiers to see.

I don't know each other.

Li Wei explained: "It's called rye, and the yield is very low. But there are many advantages, the big river and Jianghuai planting is not suitable, and it is not cost-effective for the people. It can be planted in alpine areas, and the soil requirements are also not high. For example, the big stone mountain in Qinghai and the Wangjian River (Heilongjiang) in Liaodong. The yield is low, but there is another benefit, its wheat straw is a first-class pasture, which can harvest nearly 50 stone of fresh grass, which is ten to twenty times the amount of grass produced by ordinary pastures. ”

All the ministers understood this explanation, and once again whispered to themselves.

But Li Wei is still not satisfied, he values corn and sweet potatoes and potatoes the most. The Ming Dynasty introduced it was slow to popularize it, and it was not really popularized until the Qing Dynasty, which enabled the Qing Dynasty to feed nearly 400 million people. That is to say, the Ming Dynasty was carrying trees, and the Qing Dynasty was enjoying the shade.

There is also rice in Liaodong, which was once quietly tested by people, but the rice did not grow, and a field of barnyard grews, failed, and pinched his nose and couldn't speak. But he clearly remembered that the rice in the Northeast was very famous later. Therefore, I feel very at a loss when I get this result.

It's the black earth, Oceania and the Americas, the occupation is too far away, and the places under your nose are not well managed, how can you manage such a distant place? I didn't know where to start, so I had to walk slowly and take a look. Or there is a glimmer of hope to see if the cold-tolerant seeds that Hu Ying brought back from Europe will be suitable for planting.

He added: "I will also say one more thing, the understanding of KitKat's lewd skills. Not all craftsmen's things are miraculous skills, such as the improvement of waterwheels, some efficient reeling cars, which can save labor costs and are very helpful to the country and the people. Another example is the two canals, if it weren't for the emergence of some new things, the two canals would not have been able to be constructed. Can Zhu Qing conclude that the new things for the people of the country can no longer be called strange tricks? ”

There was another round of talk.

"Hu Ying brought back some books from the Yi people, many of which are about the principles of making these instruments, I went to the Sifang Pavilion a few days ago and asked those Yi people to translate them. But can you promote it, Zhuqing, how about discussing it again? ”

This is to promote scientific theories in disguise at a later date. But it cannot be said explicitly, and the great Confucians will do their best to oppose it.

I said that I would not say it anymore, but he added: "The country has always had so many fields, but the number of people is increasing, so I think we should broaden our thinking and improve production and efficiency." This is also the true meaning of Emperor Taizong who said that agriculture is the foundation of agriculture and that the queen mother said to persuade farmers to mulberry. ”

put Wu Zetian in again. This set, even the ministers of Wu Zetian's faction, are not very easy to oppose.

Wu Zetian couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "After going down, see the palace." ”

This little king is too hateful, wait a while, I have to teach it a good lesson.

"Yes." Honestly and innocently agreed.

Then he said the tenth thing, "At the beginning of the founding of the country, our dynasty implemented the Juntian system. Why is there such a system, the inequality between the rich and the poor, polarization, is also not good for the stability of the country. Of course, it means that there are strengths and weaknesses, and those who are capable enjoy the same treatment as those who cannot, and those who are capable are also reluctant. But after that, most people have no food to eat and no clothes to warm, will they rise up? I have an immature idea, one is to promote some cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant grain, and the other is to cultivate a large number of fields in the frontier. Two acres of land as pasture cannot feed a cow or sheep, but two acres of land as a cultivated field can feed a strong man. The implementation of this policy also improved the life of Hu Fan, saving them from going to war and plunder everywhere for the sake of poverty, and at the same time, they could also migrate the people of the Central Plains to the past to better implement the king. At the same time, the imperial court takes out a part of the funds every year and takes the initiative to redeem a large number of tribes, although they are tenant farmers, they are also the people of our Tang Dynasty. Allowing them to move to Qinghai and other places is also good governance for the country. ”

After hearing this, Pei Yan stood up and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent, but this year, the treasury has been tightened and it is impossible to allocate a large amount of money. ”

"Pei Qing's advice, I have considered it a long time ago. The humiliation of the envoys of the Japanese state has given me an opportunity that there will be some controversy over this idea, and you can ask Liu Xianggong tomorrow. However, it can solve the situation of a part of the national treasury strain. ”

looked at Liu Renliang one by one, not knowing what connection this treasury had with the Wa State. Seeking justice for them will only cost more money, how can it be possible to make money?

But the redemption part, there are also some difficult ones, the part is easy to use, it can be implemented at the beginning, and then the part is tense, will the big family put it? However, the ministers knew this in their hearts, but they couldn't say it. The controversy is even greater.

"These are the ten articles I said, you will see if you can improve them, and in a few days you will issue them to the world with an edict. In addition, I still have many questions to this day. For example, the corruption of the government military system, in this battle of Qinghai, the government soldiers could not draw enough government soldiers, so they had to recruit troops. As early as a long time ago, Liu Xianggong wrote a book about this matter. And in case of change, the speed of recruitment in the provinces is very slow. If there is a permanent army, the state will spend a lot of money. If it is only a border soldier, it can alleviate the financial difficulties of the state. But with border soldiers, the generals are weighted, and the branches are thicker than the stems, which will inevitably form a situation of separating the feudal towns. Ladies and gentlemen, you can discuss this matter, although it is not in a hurry, but it needs to be resolved in the end. ”

In fact, Li Wei also believed that setting up border troops became inevitable, just like Qinghai, with permanent troops, it could start a war at any time, and it was also a local transfer of troops, and the national expenses were saved. But as a traverser, how many people don't know the harm caused by the division of feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty?

Therefore, no good solution has been come up either.

"And the land. In order to reward meritorious morality, the imperial court exempted families, meritorious heroes, filial sons, meritorious courtiers, children of clans, and monks. So the larger the scale, some of them did not do well, using military service, annexing land, the Sui Dynasty used the same land to feed more than 60 million people, and the Chinese Dynasty used the same land to feed 30 million (referring to the number of registered people in the household department), but shouted that the land was insufficient. It is precisely because of the severity of annexation. Because of the serious annexation, some people had to take land and live under large households as tenant farmers. But these people are all thanks to my Datang, so the court can't bear to punish them. But in the end, only one household of ten households could collect taxes from the people. What will the country be? Qinghai immigrants, the redemption of the trilogy, is only a symptom, not a cure. It is necessary to consider the future of the country, and to take into account the idea of meritorious service, if you think about it, is there a good plan? ”

In fact, if the large households are directly attacked, they will be reduced by half as long as they are exempted from military service.

But there will be a lot of people who will be offended, and even Li Wei only carefully brought up this topic, at least now he doesn't dare to do it.

"Speaking of the imperial examination, the state is dominated by two eunuchs and tribute students, but the two eunuchs can only take into account a small number of people and the children of the two capitals, accounting for less than one of the population of our dynasty, is it also necessary to take into account the students of various states and counties? Ladies and gentlemen, you can also discuss. ”

These are all controversial propositions, and Li Wei cannot make a decision immediately.

"Then there is the border trouble, there is civil strife in Tibet, and there will be no large-scale attack on Qinghai in about two or three years, but this time will not be too long, and the Western Turks must also be pacified this year. There is also ***, it seems that there is a faint instability, and the military department should send scouts to monitor the movements of various departments. ”

Cen Changqian was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, why do you say this?" ”

Li Wei couldn't tell him that it was conjecture, and said: "It's better to take precautions than to happen suddenly." ”

"Whoa."

There is one more thing that Li Wei has not put forward in his heart, under the current system of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to implement a commercial state. However, a little encouragement of the development of commerce will be of great help to improve the prosperity of the people and increase the tax revenue of the imperial court. But I don't dare to say it, and I'll leave this for later.

What was not said, there is. The eunuchs of the later Tang Dynasty, the friends, are not serious now. But the eunuchs began to play a role gradually. Many ministers have serious nepotism, especially Pei Yan, Li Jingxuan, and Xue Yuanchao, and there are a large group of ministers behind them who are waving their flags and shouting for them.

This is also to be addressed and prevented. But it can't be rushed.

This delay, for a long time, the sky gradually reached dusk, looking at the sky outside, Li Wei said: "Zhuqing, let's disperse." ”

"Whoa!" The ministers retreated, and except for a few people, they walked towards the outside of the palace with excited faces on their faces.

Today, the new emperor has done a very good job, has made great achievements, and has advanced and retreated in a measured manner, knows how to measure, and is not greedy for merit, and is eager to advance. In particular, enough respect was also given to the ministers.

Hao Chujun didn't speak until he came out because of the resignation: "Datang, finally ushered in a good time." ”

Di Renjie was also full of emotion, looking forward to this day, and finally looking forward to it, it felt like heaven in a dream. Thinking of the experience over the years, a few tears couldn't help but drip from the corners of my eyes.

In the Wucheng Palace, Li Wei also had to ask his parents that his action today was so big that he ignored Liu Renliang and Pei Xingjian's expectations, but what would his parents think, and asked respectfully: "Erchen is rude, I don't know if I did a good job today." ”

At least show some superficial respect.

"It's okay, I have to continue to work hard in the future," Li Zhi felt a thousand flavors in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to say an official word.

Wu Zetian said: "Hong'er, you come with me." ”

Saying that, he walked to the inner sanctum, this son, who has held his banner many times today and issued decrees, has to teach a lesson.
