Chapter 313: Fang Lai and Yingjie (1)

"Who is this person?" Wei Yuanzhong was also nervous, forgetting about the safety of the country and asked.

"I don't know. It's definitely not the second brother, and it has nothing to do with Ming Chongyan. To plan this situation, we have a long-term vision, and we need to see through the discord between Liu and Li, as well as the Qinghai war situation, and even expect that Qinling will repeatedly provoke our DPRK to dispatch a large army to fight a decisive battle, not this year, but after last autumn, this rumor will be all over the eastern capital. The second brother and his comrades did not have such a far-reaching vision. Even Pei Shilang gradually saw it at the end of the year. It's not the queen mother, and the queen mother and I are fighting for the distribution of rights. is alone as a prince, and she can advance or retreat. But he went to Qinghai alone, and life and death were at a loss, which was not good for the queen mother. Besides, the top and bottom of the court, the queen of power should be the most, but there is a lack of military understanding. So for a time, Pei Shilang also thought it was his delusion. Gu also seriously thought that to have this ability, you must have enough wisdom and military insights, so there is only Pei Shilang. But Pei Shilang couldn't do this. ”

Wei Yuanzhong listened while thinking in his mind, but he couldn't think of any answer, and muttered, "Who is it?" ”

It didn't matter who it was, but Wei Qing knelt down, making Gu ashamed and uneasy. In order to reward Qing's loyalty, Lone will also say. Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. If God keeps me alive and allows me to ascend the throne, then this catastrophe will be resolved, or a miracle may be created. If not, I'll wear it again! ”

"What to wear?"

"You go, go and report to my father, there is a plan, there are many disputes, and the court needs to discuss!" What to wear, you can't say what you are killing, even Bi'er can't tell her.

……

The third great court meeting stirred up the government and the opposition!

The two canals are important, especially for Gongwei Guanzhong, which plays an incomparable role. However, it is not as important as the escape, and the seemingly escape is implicated in the two serious problems of large mergers and inequality between the rich and the poor. Therefore, the prince asked the court meeting to offer advice, and the court meeting had not yet opened, which immediately attracted the attention of thousands of people.

The whole city of Luoyang was a sensation, some people said that they saw the glow of the East Palace at night, and some people directly said that when Li Wei was born, the room was full of incense, the stars were like snow, and the rainbow ran through the sky.

Hearing Bi'er's discussion, Li Wei said: "Lone is really on fire this time. ”

At the beginning of the court meeting, officials of all sizes came to the court.

Li Zhi specially asked people to move a hu bed and let Li Wei sit next to him, and the sky gradually began to brighten, and the ministers rushed in. After arriving one after another, Li Zhi said: "Hong'er, what is your strategy? Say it. ”

Li Wei was not in good spirits and was very reluctant. He hesitated for a while and said, "Erchen has a strategy, why do you want to say it at the court meeting?" I've asked about the outside world. Some counties do have serious escapes, while others are not very serious. In fact, the population has always been difficult to census, how many households have escaped, and which one can report an accurate number? ”

Hugh said that in the Tang Dynasty, that is, in later generations, there were errors in the census.

"The sensation is so great, Liang Jinzhu's case detonated, and it is very sideways, many Taishou are because of the pressure of escaping, and some are echoing the noise, and there are ...... Just want to disadvantage me, put out the fire with salary, and take the opportunity to push. However, the states and counties are arguing like this, and they have to send troops to Tibet, and this matter needs to be resolved. Therefore, I would like to say at the court meeting that it is a solution, and everyone must put aside their prejudices. If I have any ideas, even if my strategy is useful, in the end, it will not help in the end. ”

That's the crux of the matter. Hugh said that it was a mixed strategy, and it was a good strategy, and it could not be implemented under the division of the court. Or take advantage of the situation and turn the advantage into harm.

Li Zhi sat in the middle, and he couldn't get off the stage. Li Wei didn't think about his feelings, all of this was caused by his father. After speaking, he looked at the prime ministers and did not continue, waiting for them to express their positions.

Li Jingxuan said: "What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, the country's borders are not peaceful, but my generation is constantly fighting infighting, which makes the minister ashamed. ”

Li Jingxuan expressed his attitude, and the others all expressed their positions, but there were a few sincere and a few false, and even Wu Zetian couldn't guess it.

Li Wei sighed softly: "Infighting, otherwise, how can this land, with the best fertile soil in the world, and the most industrious and intelligent people, decline repeatedly?" ”

One by one there was no sound.

"Everyone acquiesces, and Lone will talk about running away. At the beginning of the founding of our dynasty, we issued an order strictly prohibiting the buying and selling of land, and everyone has seen the results. This decree is a dead letter. The history of Wei Yu said that there are still 200 years left in our dynasty, and if you don't ask about it, it will only be a 200-year foundation. ”

Li Zhi still didn't say anything, although he was a little dissatisfied with Li Wei's words at the court meeting. But sit back and do nothing, the problem will be serious. It's just that I can't take care of it, so I do an ostrich when I can't see it.

"Gu Weiliangqu has done some extraordinary things, which is to bring taxes to the imperial court, but the more goods sold to the outside world, the more workshops will be. There are fugitives in Liang Jinzhu's industry, but among the wealthy workshops in Jiangnan, how many have not escaped? With many industries and high salaries, more people will leave their hometowns because of poverty, and they would rather be runaways than live on the original land. ”

Most of the ministers did not expect this, and after saying this, the hall immediately whispered.

After the discussion subsided, Li Wei continued: "Lone has been thinking about this question for a long time. The first is production, and if production is increased, more people will be able to eat. But this is not the root of the problem, even if the production is high, the land owned is small, and what happens after paying taxes and rent? In fact, there is still a way to move to Kuanxiang, and the imperial court has done this, but it has not worked. Not all the people are unwilling to leave their hometowns, and local officials are unwilling to let the people go. Some people are indeed unwilling to leave their homeland, and when they go to the wide countryside and good land, they are all the land of the lord, and there is only barren land, and the people are not happy, and the water and soil are not satisfied. When they arrived in the local area, farm tools and livestock, seeds, and surplus food for the day were nowhere to be obtained, and the imperial court came to bear them, and there was no such huge financial support. ”

There was another burst of discussion, and this paragraph hit the nail on the head. In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a money, if it is like the Song Dynasty, the annual income can reach 100 million yuan, and what problems will be solved. In other words, the Song Dynasty has never been worried about land tension, and if you have the ability, you can swallow it, I don't care!

Li Wei continued: "Therefore, Gu and his father and queen mother set up a manor in the imperial village in Luoyang, grabbing land from the mountains and rivers. But as you can see, some people are living a little better, but not all of them. The population is still moving quietly, and many people are forced to flee their homes by all means. This is a general trend! Yongzhou can accommodate millions of people, but what about Shangzhou? Rich places lack labor, and poor places don't even have enough to support their families. Ladies and gentlemen, does the water flow to a high place, or to the ground? ”

This is an agreement with the existence of escapes, but this sentence cannot be refuted.

"Lone once talked to several ministers about this, to increase the income of the court, the two channels made some controversial moves, not only controversial, Lone just said that the pace of increasing the number of escapees. However, it brought with it a great deal of wealth, which would ease the pressure on the imperial court's finances. If most of the taxes are reduced, one acre of land can be fed with three stones, and a family of seven people will be able to survive on ten acres of land, and food and clothing will be available on twenty acres of land. If you can have food and clothing, will you sell the land? Also, people overseas don't pay attention to it, but do you know how many places in the South China Sea are not really meaningful? It may be larger than our entire Tang territory, not only are there no strong national resistance in these places, but the people are still very scarce. I don't know where the pressure on the land comes from? “

It turned out that the prince had done a lot of things, not only grabbing land, but also grabbing money. But Zhang Da'an asked suspiciously: "Your Highness's words seem to be reasonable, but what is the current plan?" ”

"Gu Zheng is about to say, what I said earlier, as Zhang Xianggong said, is too long-term, whether it is effective or not, it will take many years to see. Lonely said this, I want to say a truth, governing the country and water are the same, and it is better to block than to sparse. After saying that, he sighed, and the words that offended people were finally about to be spoken.

"Actually, it's hard to run away. Because he was afraid of being arrested by the government, he made a living in a foreign land, and he was terrified, and sometimes he didn't dare to say anything about injustice. It can be said that this group is not even as good as the part. But it is not impossible to solve it, and the imperial court can set up a temporary residence system. ”

"What is a temporary residency system?" Li Zhi asked in surprise.

"The imperial court issued an edict ordering that except for special circumstances, such as government soldiers, or some other people needed by the imperial court, all states and counties should let the people relocate. However, when people relocate, they need to ask for relevant documents from various states and counties, indicate where they are going, and after arriving in the local area, they will be issued by other states and counties to register their temporary residence time. Taxes for temporary residents are still paid in the same place. After this move, if the people are still willing to flee the households, then they are deliberately avoiding taxes, or someone takes in these evaders, then they are conniving at the people to avoid taxes, and they can be punished by law. ”

The method is not clever, that is, the temporary residence permit policy of later generations. But in the Tang Dynasty, the idea was bold and incredible, and it was definitely a good idea. It turned out that the officials of various prefectures and counties did not allow the people to move, precisely because the tax was for the sake of political performance, and there were a lot of taxes, and the officials might be happy to see it. The original policy was that the fugitives did not dare to show their faces, and the officials had no way to manage it, which brought about all kinds of ills, and even many people occupied the mountains as kings. But now, the court can take these people under its control.

Li Zhi opened his mouth wide, a very simple method, why can't people in the world think of it?

But it is still a symptomatic method, if Li Wei did not make it clear at the court meeting, it would be easy for people to stumble. The implementation may not be smooth. Many people will be dissatisfied, especially large households, who can use black households as much as they want, and the price is cheap. Once the government registers, it is unlikely to be used as before. can resist, and it is morally unreasonable. With this, Li Wei has offended many people.

Not only that, but several great court meetings, from the emperor and queen, down to the ministers, and even the local ministers, did not come up with a good solution to resolve it. But let himself solve it, plus two canals, how did my father deal with it?

These two officials did not think of it for a while, and they were all pondering.

There are still some troubles, such as will it affect agricultural production? Therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider who to let go to another country to make a living. Will the officials of other states cooperate, after all, they will not get taxes, and the increase in population will bring trouble to other states. Also, will the big players be willing to cooperate?

can be used as a fugitive in itself, although it will pay a sum of money, but it is not a loss to be able to work openly and openly. At the very least, this policy has led to an immediate relief of the current situation. Even for a long time, most of the pressure on the fugitives will be resolved, and the imperial court will increase taxes, and the fugitives can be managed in an orderly manner. The execution is not cumbersome or brutal, reflecting the warmth of the court and the care for the people. At least for now, it is the best way to resolve this huge controversy.

Li Yiyan said loudly: "The prince's policy is a good policy, and the minister is not as far away as the prince." ”

Not only Li Yiyan, but also many ministers were heartbroken. The fact is that tens of billions of people are wise enough to deal with tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, but everyone doesn't know that Li Wei's wisdom alone is better than tens of millions of people, and even the ministers of King Yong's party are speechless.

More cheers rang out.

Wu Zetian was also sparkling behind the curtain, and said softly: "Hong'er, this palace is glad that you have this son." ”

"The queen mother, the ministers who govern state affairs are not as far away as the father and the queen mother, but as the father and the emperor said, the sons and ministers have no other strengths, only some crooked talents, and sometimes they can share one or two for the father."

"This is good," Li Zhi said in a low voice.

"The emperor's praise makes the sons and daughters ashamed," Li Wei replied congratulatorily. But looking at his father's complicated eyes, he was thinking in his heart about when he should leave for Qinghai.

The general direction came out, and there were ministers to discuss the details.

As he began to disperse, Li Yiyan suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "Everyone, look at the sky." ”

The weather was fine on this day, the royal blue sky was pure as water, with a few veil-like puffy clouds. There are always dozens of days of such weather in a year. But if you want to lead to other places, there is no way, and people in ancient times still liked to lead to other places. For example, when Li Longji mutinied, Shi *** contained four big characters, and the stars were like snow, which made future generations immediately enthusiastic when they read it. So after Li Yiyan finished saying this, all the ministers raised their heads and looked at the sky together. Hao Chujun suddenly shed a few old tears, and choked up: "Such a big event, how can the sky not show a vision?" ”

Seeing that Hao Chujun was becoming a nymphomaniac, a group of ministers of the Yongwang Party did not feel good in their hearts. Looking at the sky, I thought to myself, isn't it just a good weather, why is the sky showing a vision? You're exaggerating.

But I can't say it, the strategy is a good strategy, and when I encounter this good weather, Hao Chujun wants to lead up again, what should I do?

After all, this is a small number of people, most people still can't help but think crankily in their hearts, and even the historian respectfully wrote: On the afternoon of March (the eighth day of the first month of the year), the prince Hong fled from the house at the Great Dynasty Conference, and went out to temporarily live in Qice, and the ministers were amazed and admired, and the sky was clear and bright, like a floating mirror.
