The so-called flowers are brocade, and the next step in cooking oil is to flourish and decline!

Since Wu Zetian ascended the throne, Wu Chenghei, as the closest male to her blood in the martial family, has a high demand to inherit Dabao in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He is so powerful that he is already one and the same among the courtiers, and his momentum is huge, and it is difficult for anyone to reach him!

As the left minister of Wenchang, he presided over the government, and all the major affairs passed through his hands, and things could not spare him.

And he is in charge of the ministry, the official hat, who dares to offend him!

Even if Wei Xi's prestige in the army is very high, it is not as good as Wu Chenghei, after all, it is Wu Sansi who is currently in charge of military affairs in the center, and taking advantage of Wei Xi's absence in the court, squeezing out Wei Xi's forces and encroaching on Wei Xi's territory has had certain results. (But he didn't dare to go so far, after all, Wei Xi still had the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Wu Zetian even used him specifically to supervise the army, which was an assessment!) ）

But doing so played a role in alleviating the empress's suspicions.

Although Wei Xi has 400,000 Turkic people outside the Guanxi (west of Yangguan and Yumen Pass), the horror is too much for the heyday, but Wu Zetian didn't see it, and besides, there was her daughter looking at Wei Xi, what else was there to worry about!

So Wu Chengsi became the target of public criticism, his comrades were envious of his power outside and jealous inside, while Li Tang's former ministers and ministers with a strong sense of justice thought that his power was too great.

A large number of whispers converged into a torrent of information, and Wu Zetian also knew about it, so he appointed Li Zhaode to be the Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Ping Zhang, in order to divide the power of Wu Chenghei, and rejected Wu Chenghe's repeated slander of Li Zhaode one by one.

The imperial official Niu Botong was instructed by Wu Chenghei to impeach Li Zhaode for his arrogant behavior and disobedience.

As a result, Niu Botong was degraded to Yazhou as Sima!

Now, the courtiers saw Li Zhaode's toughness.

In the first year of longevity (692 AD), Li Zhaode was responsible for the construction of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and planned the establishment of Wenchangtai and the Dingding and Shangdong gates of the Shendu, and was deeply trusted by Wu Zetian.

In charge of the capital's infrastructure, he has many opportunities to meet with him, which makes it easier for him to do things.

On June 15 of that year, Li Zhaode entered the palace to see Wu Zetian and presented the seal "Please Strike the Shendu Li Fang Affairs", which seemed to have a dose of herbal tea in the summer heat, which made Wu Zetian feel refreshed!

Tang system, 100 households for the li, five miles for the township, Juzhou County Guo Nei (that is, the city) for the fang, Guo outside the village.

Residents of the square, with walls on all sides, a cross street in the middle, each square opens a door on each side, closes the door regularly at night, and opens it on time in the morning.

In addition to the fang, there is also a "city" in the city, which refers to a place where business is concentrated, and there are still walls, and the doors are closed and opened regularly.

The Li Fang system of the Tang Dynasty had its historical inevitability, before the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, frequent wars, lack of population, the development of agricultural production, stable social order became a primary task of the rulers in the early Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty popularized the equalization system in the countryside, realizing that "the cultivator has his own land" (in fact, it was the predecessor of the farmland contract system of DANG), and the peasants would only devote themselves to cultivating their own fields.

However, the money earned from agricultural production has never been a part-time job, and the peasants have the urge to engage in part-time work, so a large number of peasants leaving the land will seriously affect agricultural production.

In order to curb this trend of abandoning the peasants, the cities have implemented fang markets, strict management, curfews, and blind flow are strictly prohibited, and all those who do not have "urban hukou" are arrested, so that the flow of population is controlled by administrative means, so that the peasants cannot come to the cities freely, and the abundance of rural labor is ensured.

But this is no longer the case.

Due to the increase in population, the improvement of agricultural production tools, the improvement of production technology, the construction of farmland and water conservancy, and the increase of animal power, the agricultural production in various localities has produced a large amount of grain supply, thus laying a solid foundation for the abolition of the lifang system.

At present, the population is increasing, the supply of materials is sufficient, the court and the people have a lot of money, and the business is developing very rapidly!

For example, in the past, ordinary people were already very satisfied to have a hu cake (dry cake) for food, but today they want to eat meat buns and a buffet!

In the past, the common people drank water to quench their thirst, but now Wei Xi bought the mountains along the West Lake in Hangzhou to plant Longjing, and the output increased tenfold compared with his initial time, all of them were sold out, and the price was raised every year!

The imperial court authorized him to sell beef jerky in Liangjing (hey, the government strictly prohibits people from killing cattle, and those who kill cattle for no reason are guilty), the taste is good, the price is high, and he can sell as much as he has the supply, and the market does not have to worry at all.

……

With the increasing development of commerce and the continuous growth of taxes, Li Zhaode could not avoid singing praises to Wu Zetian, believing that it was under her rule that there was such a prosperous scene.

But business to further development, open market has become a necessary condition, the market is open in the middle of the day, closed at sunset, strict opening and closing of the market door, so that the market loses its freedom, coupled with the night ban and strict management of the market, the night market is difficult to do, and people work during the day, and they can't relax at night, and how to do business.

To put it mildly, you can't spend it even if you have money!

Therefore, it is necessary to abolish the walls of the squares, open up the markets, no longer restrict commerce to special commercial areas, allow markets, shops and workshops to appear in the squares, and allow the opening of night markets, so as to enliven the market economy, increase tax revenue, and meet the needs of the common people.

Li Zhaode is a capable person who does everything in his work, he believes that there is no external danger in the empire at present, the imperial court has a strong army, and he is not afraid of outsiders infiltrating the Shendu.

As for the problems that have arisen in the opening of the market, he believes that it will not be difficult to solve them, strengthen management, and have the Zhijinwu, Shendu Prefecture, and Criminal Department dispatch together, and I believe that there will be no problems.

Moreover, Li Zhaode faintly pointed out a hidden worry of the imperial court, that is, the destruction of the Juntian system!

The folk land merger is very hot, and top magnates such as Wu Chenghei, Wu Sansi, Wei Xi, and Princess Taiping are openly robbed and secretly grabbed, and the fields they own are more than one million acres! (Otherwise, where did Wei Xi's field for growing Longjing tea come from?) ）

Together with other officials and nobles, large and small, the land they occupy is constantly increasing... Even if Wu Zetian declares that he can't do this, the so-called law does not blame the public, her decree, Princess Wei Xi Taiping will join forces with Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi to confront the two brothers, and Bao Wu Zetian's decree will not be issued to Luoyang, the divine capital.!

There are more people here, and the emergence of "hospitals" has improved the health level of the people, and the "maternal and child health care hospitals" have greatly increased the survival rate of infants!

What if the population is growing more and more and there is not enough land to divide the land?

Taking the opportunity of building a new Shendu, tearing down the walls of the fang, attracting the arrival of the population, it can not only solve the problem of population growth, but also is expected to open the Shendu for a year, and the tax revenue will increase by 20 percent.

Solve the trouble for the imperial court, and send silver to the official warehouse.

Capable minister!

Wu Zetian finished reading this recital, Dayue, it's right!

The atmosphere merged, and Li Zhaode took this opportunity to admonish: "Your Majesty can know the power of the ministers? ”

Like a cold wind blowing, Wu Zetian's eyebrows were raised, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes!
