Chapter 169: Detective 7
If Uncle Zheng Lian said the previous words, and saw the shocking caused by the hungry wolf's devouring, at this time, hearing this, these people would be noisy.
However, what can the emperor do to compensate everyone?
This is a ridiculous idea, but in their hearts, it is a matter of course, this is our exclusive right to enjoy, and now they are given away one by one, without a great compensation, can it be justified?
But the move will be very big, and Chang'an City will immediately spread the word
Li Wei went to Daming Palace and met Wu Zetian
Wu Zetian looked at his son: "You have been very busy recently, why do you have time to come to Daming Palace?" ”
"Erchen specially came to visit his mother, and Erchen now wants to do a big thing, I am afraid that his wisdom is insufficient, and I ask my mother to refer to it"
It is also possible to refer to it, after all, Wu Zetian also likes to create, maybe he may not be able to contribute to the national policy, but in terms of power and strategy, no one can have her reference for that big head, and he can see that he is not well taken care of in those aspects
Or rather, or not at all
It doesn't matter if you don't talk about the problem, I made a statement, son, I don't want to really lock up your old man and give my mother a thought, otherwise she may put a shot or two in the back coldly when she makes her own decision, and her mother still has this ability, so she will be very uncomfortable, after all, there is such a big movement, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise all the work will be wasted
"Let's talk about it"
Li Wei brought the thoughts in his heart one by one
Wu Zetian was lying on the Taishi chair that came out, to be precise, it was a single sofa, no sponge, cotton was stuffed in the silk cushion, and a few springs were designed, and people were very comfortable to lean on it, and the first sofa was sent to Daming Palace
After thinking for a while, he said: "This palace has not taken care of political affairs for a long time, and I don't know how serious it is, but there are many Hu Yi people in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and there may be changes, so I have to guard against it."
"The queen mother's words are extremely true," Li Wei said very respectfully
This is what I despise, and the proportion of the population must be well controlled, and we can't come as we want
"It's getting late, stay and have dinner with Hongu"
"Mother ......"
"Among your sons, only you are the closest to me, this palace has been withdrawn from political affairs for so long, and one by one does not come to visit me, is it impossible for you to accompany me to dinner?"
“…… Son, obey orders"
The dining room brought dinner, but in front of his mother, Li Wei didn't want the eunuch to try it, and he ate so hard, one bite at a time
If there are any gadgets in it, eating a small bite is not a big problem, and you can be treated immediately, and if you eat too much, it is too late to rush to be cured, while eating, pay attention to your body's reaction
"Could it be that the meal in Daming Palace is not as good as that of Taiji Palace?"
"It's the same, Erchen eats late at noon, and he is not hungry"
"Alas, who do you think of this palace? I heard that you used Empress Feng as a metaphor for the main palace, may I ask if Tuoba Hong is the biological son of Empress Dowager Feng? ”
"No, Erchen is offended" But Li Wei said in his heart, what happened to my second brother? I'm still careful, can't be careless, and, Ming'er also wants the third and fourth children to come and take a walk, do a look to make my mother feel at ease, a peace of mind, my big rear will be worry-free, if not at ease, the rear is very unsteady
There was no way, Li Xian and Li Xulun had to be sacrificed
But Wu Zetian is indeed very lonely, far away from the political center, she is a very energetic person, how to stay in the Daming Palace and want to go out for a walk, and wait until the spring of next year when the flowers bloom, so she often summons Princess Taiping, but Li Lingyue and her husband are in love at this time, and it is impossible to run to the Daming Palace every day to accompany her
Although the eldest son was very dissatisfied, she was very dissatisfied with the careful eating, but she finally stayed and ate the meal, and her mood improved slightly, and said, "Eat enough"
"I'm so full that my sons don't worry about my mother."
"Okay, there you go"
walked out of Daming Palace, stretched his waist, moved his body, and still felt it, but the historian was very interested in this matter, one day and one day, His Majesty and the Queen Mother had dinner together, and returned to Da Teng Teteng, mother and son, should get along in harmony, some time ago, what did it look like?
……
After careful deliberation with the prime ministers, these families were brought together
They were the elite of the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and they did not object, and there were some small gate lords and Shu landlords below, and there was no opposition
Not only them, but also all the ministers in the capital, shouted to the Taiji Hall together and sat down to discuss
First of all, he read out a holy decree, that is, the edict with Wei Yuanzhong, which was not issued, but first took evidence, and delayed until today before issuing water conservancy is the country's top priority in the future, and the officials of the household department have made calculations that if it is to be successfully implemented, it may cost more than 80 million yuan and may even reach 100 million yuan, 150 million yuan
However, after success, the benefits are huge: the land that has been cultivated alone can accommodate two million households, and the state will increase taxes by at least five million yuan a year, which alone can squeeze out the land pressure caused by 20 years of population growth
As long as there are ministers with integrity, they don't want to see these big families destroy this huge plan for their own selfish interests
This is a real deal, as for the emperor said that the development of Liaodong and Lingnan, it is too far away, and there are few people who are interested
However, the large households involved are indifferent, and the state decrees are one set and the implementation is another, such as not allowing the sale of land, and what is the result, and what is the result, compared to the prohibition of human trafficking, the result?
After reading out, Li Wei said: "Song Jing is the ambassador of Mizusawa Observer, supervising and dealing with the illegal occupation of Mizusawa by the powerful people in the country, as well as the ineffective handling of officials."
"Whoa"
Li Wei said in his heart: "Sample, if Lao Tzu really doesn't know the joints, I will send an iron-faced and selfless person to supervise you, and see if you can escape Song Jing's eyes and then escape, and Lao Tzu will obey you."
Of course, Song Jing was sent, and some of them sang this big drama of wits and courage even until later
Only then did he get down to business, and said: "Zhongqing, I said a few days ago that to implement some reforms of the imperial court is to forcibly take away your interests, but it is not only beneficial to the imperial court, but also for the sake of the interests of your families. Let me start with the first thing, most of the states and counties in the country are short of labor."
"Yes, yes," immediately echoed
I don't want to go against the imperial court, it is indeed a lack of labor, Li Wei is very clear about this, this year at least 700,000 Turks have been scattered all over the country, but it is like a drift, and it quickly disappeared without a trace, if it was not for his return at that time, which attracted the attention of the whole country, this would also cause a sensation
The lack of visible population
"But there is a place that can meet your needs, Tianzhu Tianzhu has a population of about fifty or sixty million, divided into four castes, the first is the priests, called Brahmins, the second is the Kshatriyas, these two castes account for less than ten percent of the total population, the third is the Vaishyas, that is, the common people, the fourth is the Shudras, that is, the slaves, and the last surname has the largest number, about sixty percent, and is generally regarded as a cheap race in Tianzhu, often with a silk can be exchanged for several Shudras"
In fact, a small number of seafarers have already bought Tianzhu's slaves, but thinking that the goods have made money, they didn't think about it, Li Wei deliberately woke up, everyone's eyes lit up, some sea ships are very large, can load more than 10,000 stone goods, of course, it is impossible to load people according to the weight of the goods, no matter how big the ship, it is impossible to accommodate more than 10,000 people, but it is still possible to load one or two thousand people, squeeze it, and then bring some crude supplies, it can still be done, as for a ship to squeeze more than 1,000 people, will it be like a pig, no one cares, this is the sorrow of our nation, people-oriented put forward very early, really done, since ancient times, there is only one emperor, Zhao Zhen, the others, there are many people who shake their heads but shout loudly
This is also a lucrative business
Some people regret it so much that they want to slap their thighs
"I don't believe that at least 10 million slaves can be paid out equally, which is not enough for you to squander?"
Some ministers want to laugh, but some righteous ministers are shaking their heads but not joking, the lack of labor, the big families are holding on to the tenant farmers and the tribes, and the court is helpless not to solve this problem, and the next various reforms cannot be promoted
"And they have been Shudras for generations, living in the most humble environment, and they are obedient, far better than the various parts you use, but this is a group of lowly people, and I do not want them to have many descendants in the land of the Central Plains."
There are many people who want to laugh
In fact, it is to say, everyone, cut, like cutting a slave, the knife sharpens quickly, and cuts off all the roots of the man
No one thinks about women, after all, it is not Dongnuqiang, it is a matriarchal society, the children follow their father, the father is Han, and the children are also Han, and they can quickly integrate in addition, so as to control the number of foreign races in the Central Plains, it is Wu Zetian's reminder that Li Wei came up with this bad idea
He also said: "Not only that, but I will relax the various sea markets, and even send people to open a passage from Nanzhao, and possibly another land passage from Sindh, so that you will have more ways to bring the Shudra of Tianzhu back to the country."
It's a nice saying, but I have to use the army for your sake
In fact, there is a reason, under the occupation of the Tang Dynasty and Byzantium, the Great Food did not have a great unification as in history, and was divided into two caliphs, Zuobeir occupied Medina, and Merwan occupied Damascus, but Byzantine Constantinople died last year, and the son who succeeded to the throne was not very angry, and the Tang Dynasty gave up the attack, and with the efforts of the Holy See, it was still launching a holy war, but the attack was not as powerful as before
The Great Cannibal can't be allowed to recover
Therefore, it is possible to continue to use the army once in the next year, and the right to train the army is just Xinde and other places, so that the big cannibals can redistribute their property, and in two or three years, they can recover some vitality and get a lot of wealth
Lack of money, so he had to make a bad idea, which is also in line with his world layout
The most headache manpower problem is solved, and then it will be easy to do, as long as the court does not forcibly seize it, and take the money out to redeem it, in the case of no shortage of labor, the major families will not stop it from being able to redeem at least half of the parts, which is enough
Li Wei said again: "Let's talk about the land again."
