Chapter 413 The bandits in the north accumulate grain, and the Son of Heaven in the south has a strong wrist
"Master, over the years, our grain harvest has been good every year, and it has been recorded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As long as the statistics of grain yield per mu in the past few years are calculated, and then roughly divided according to the upper, middle and lower third-class fields, the average is averaged. This average yield per mu is our standard. Whether it is wheat or Taizu corn, this can be subdivided ......" Li Deyi was verbose and said a lot.
After hearing this, Old Medical Officer Sun frowned and asked: "Everyone is inert, what if you let the farmers protect their harvest in drought and flood, in case they are lazy and no longer work hard to farm?" ”
Li Deyi said: "I have already formulated reward and punishment measures. Every year, large grain growers and grain sellers have rewards, such as allowing their children to enter the Dingbei Military Academy. The farmer who has the worst harvest will be punished. In addition, I also arranged some veterans who were injured and retired home to be township chiefs and lieutenant chiefs, so that they could be specially responsible for catching the lazy people in the village. When the time comes, I will send these lazy people to the mine and be reformed through labor. In addition, when I implemented the "Plate String Law", in the past few years, wooden cards have been distributed to every household, and they are specially used to pay grain as a voucher. This time, you can make a fuss with this wooden sign. ”
Li Deyi paused, and found that Master had no intention of objecting, and then said, "Master, we can use this wooden card as a voucher to negotiate with those displaced people who have been resettled. We will ensure that they will own the land they have for generations, that no one will take it, and that they will only sell their grain to us. This is a death deed, and everyone who has received a wooden card must sign it. After this deed is signed, we will not be allowed to buy or sell the ownership of the land of the North Garrison Regiment. I have to use the soldiers and horses in my hands to ensure that these rules can be implemented smoothly. ”
Old Medical Officer Sun listened to Li Deyi's various measures, and his eyes were filled with complicated light. After a long time, he finally nodded and agreed with some of Li Deyi's charters.
Seeing the little apprentice go out, Old Doctor Sun sat alone in the room and secretly sighed: "Brother Li, I can't imagine that your grandson has actually come to this point. He wants to tear the soil and seal the king, send troops to control the land under his command, and strictly prohibit buying and selling. This matter has always been ordered only by the Son of Heaven, but I didn't expect that your grandson would have today. ”
The reason why Old Medical Officer Sun nodded in agreement was very simple, he was fed up with the former Ping Zhou court, and it was impossible for him to easily listen to any court dispatch. This time, Li Deyi did this, in fact, it also implied his old man's thoughts.
In fact, Old Medical Officer Sun still thinks too well of Li Deyi. Ripping the Ground and Sealing the King? You also think too highly of him, he is a typical mountain king thinking.
Li Deyi grew up in the village as a child, and saw how the landlords and gentry took advantage of the famine to force the villagers to sell their land in exchange for a little food to survive temporarily. In the end, the landlords and gentry had thousands of acres of fertile land, but the villagers had no place to stand.
Now that he has the power in his hands, Li De realized that he wanted to avoid this situation, and he knew that if he did not ensure the survival of the Zhuang family in the disaster year, the grain harvest would inevitably still fail in the coming year. Because last year's famine forced a large number of farmers to become displaced and leave their homes, this year's land will be very short of manpower. The land has no one to take care of, so it can only be abandoned, where can food grow.
Without food, you have to starve. Li Deyi was hungry and never wanted to try that taste again. He did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to repair the "ancient mule and horse diversion canal", also to prepare for drought years. At the same time, after so many years of experience, Li Deyi gradually understood that there must be strong rules to ensure that the famine year can be safely passed.
Over the years, Li Deyi has worked so hard to get money home, and he doesn't even want his face, for what? By no means to be like Zhu Luchen in the southeast, "accumulate grain, build high walls, and slowly become kings." ”
To be an emperor? Li Deyi is not stupid yet, he vaguely feels that he should have another path to choose from, a road that is full of thorns and rarely cared about. That road is a bright road. Instead of being an emperor in a daze, he didn't have to die well in the end. I don't see the founding ancestor of Pingzhou who was invincible back then, what happened in the end? Now the heirs will be put to death.
In the past six months, with the efforts of Li Deyi and Xiao Li, all kinds of things in the garrison regiment have been running in an orderly manner, and the entire Dingbei County has become more and more prosperous.
To the south, the Pingtang Kingdom is still prosperous, and even more developed.
Ping Tang Kingdom, Li Shiluan so far, is indeed a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people. After he succeeded to the throne, he had to eat and drink, and the five products had been served, and the regular staff (early dynasty) of high-ranking officials such as the enshrined officials, the foreign officials, the superintendent of the imperial history, and the doctor Taichang were never stopped, and they had to personally inquire about political affairs every day and urge hundreds of officials to be diligent in political affairs.
Li Shiluan is even more diligent than his father, as if to prove that he is a better emperor, and his father's "Zen position" is a move that conforms to the will of heaven.
At the same time, Li Shiluan is different from his father. During the reign of Li Sinai, all the high-ranking officials and lords were held by the children of the big families, and the generals such as Li Yaoshi Wei Chi Yong had great achievements, but because they did not have a prominent and huge family behind them, they were only generals from the fourth rank in the end.
After Li Shiluan succeeded to the throne, none of the clans were sealed, and five generals with outstanding military achievements, including Li Yaoshi and Wei Chiyong, were all promoted to third-grade generals, serving purple waist and gold, and were highly rewarded. Pharmacist Li was even named the champion general of the three products.
At the same time, Li Shiluan also reorganized the army of Luodu so that he could completely grasp the military power. He reorganized the Luodu garrison from the left and right Wuwei, the left and right Eagle Yang Guard, the left and right Qianniu Guard, the left and right Leopard Tao Guard, and the left and right Jinwu Guard.
And he was determined to innovate and refused to use the official uniform style handed down from the Ping Zhou Dynasty to show that he would never learn from the previous dynasty. He summoned a group of literati with knowledge and background to improve and design the official uniforms of the Ping and Tang Dynasty on the basis of the official uniforms of the Ping and Zhou dynasties. Imperial Decree: The clothes of the hundred officials are purple in the third grade, crimson in the fourth grade, light crimson in the fifth grade, dark green in the sixth grade, light green in the seventh grade, dark green in the eighth grade, light green in the ninth grade, and yellow for foreign officials and ordinary people.
Li Shiluan also came up with ingenuity and used many new ornaments. For example, the kings are decorated with dragons and deer, the prime minister is decorated with phoenix ponds, and Shangshu is decorated with geese......
With this series of actions, Li Shiluan took advantage of the situation to purge the court and completed his thorough control of the government.
When Li Shiluan was the prince, he could see clearly that when the Tuliao soldiers were approaching the city, his father had to desperately win over the family and rely on them to provide food, grass, soldiers, ordnance and so on.
Now, the situation has changed, and the strength of the Tuliao State has been greatly damaged, and the troops have retreated thousands of miles, and they are no longer as brave as they used to be. The siege of Lotodo has been lifted, and the situation has been completely eased.
The situation has changed, and Li Shiluan naturally does not want the court to be controlled by these children of the big families who are vegetarian. If he wants to work hard to build a powerful Pingtang Kingdom, and do more than his father, he must appoint those poor scholars who have the courage to do things, bravely take responsibility, and do not need to consider the interests of the family.
But although these big families have no responsibility when doing things, they are huge after all, and they rely on in-laws to connect and weave a huge network of relationships. Even if Li Shiluan is an emperor, with Tianxian in his mouth and a full range of words, he often feels powerless in the face of this huge net.
Seeing Li Shiluan's intention to weaken the family and reuse the scholars of the Han family, these families began to use the power in their hands, desperately obstructing and trying to delay. Although these big families are not strong in handling government affairs, they are really a top trick when they get into trouble.
Rao is Li Shiluan is wise and martial, young and physically strong, and he is also quite a headache by these big families. Whenever he wanted to promote the holy will of a certain Hanmen scholar, and was indefinitely delayed by a certain Zaifu and several ministers for various reasons, Li Shiluan would think of Li Deyi in the north.
"The deputy commander of the garrison regiment is so happy, he starts fighting if he doesn't like it, and he draws his knife to cut people if he doesn't agree with him. I, the dignified son of heaven, is a man of his word. Actually, it's not as wanton as he is. Whenever the ministers were alone, Li Shiluan sighed like this.
Your Majesty, you two have different positions. You are the emperor, he is a bandit leader, can you compare the two of you in this regard? You should compare the number of harem concubines with him, Li Deyi is still a bachelor. None of the big families is trying to send the beautiful girls in the clan to your palace, if you look at Li Deyi again, no one wants to marry him at all now.
People always expect what they shouldn't have, and it's easy to ignore what they have.
Li Shiluan was in the prime of life, and he was full of energy, indomitable, and repeatedly defeated in the struggle against these big families. Combined with his long-term experience in struggle, he discussed with Wei Zhiyan and other confidants for a long time, and finally decided to reopen the court public examination of the Ping Zhou Dynasty! Selection of materials for the country.
Emperor Tuliao was much stronger than Li Shiluan in this regard. What the Tuliao Emperor decided could be carried out immediately. Li Shiluan needed to consult with the ministers repeatedly, and after competing with the interests of the family again and again, he could successfully issue his will.
This time, the Pingtang Dynasty reopened the public examination of the Pingzhou Dynasty, but it was different from the past, there were no two subjects of natural science and grid physics set up by the founding Taizu of the Pingzhou Dynasty, and they were replaced by more than 50 subjects such as Xiucai, Mingjing, Jinshi, Junshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, and Mingsume.
Many of these subjects are biased towards poor scholars. In this struggle to determine the subject of the examination, a group of confidants and important ministers from poor families led by Wei Zhiyan made great contributions in the battle with the family.
Speaking of Wei Zhiyan, it is also quite legendary. Because of his outspokenness, fairness, and military strategy, he was appreciated by the emperor Li Sinai, and was arranged by Li Sinai to the crown prince Li Xinxiao to serve as the crown prince Xian Ma.
Later, Li Shiluan launched the Xuanwumen Mutiny, shot the prince with his own hands, and then rushed into the prince's mansion, wanting to kill all the prince's officials. Just when the ministers trembled and knelt down to beg for mercy, Wei Zhiyan had no fear, stood out from the crowd, and loudly scolded Li Shiluan for seeking the king with his ministers and rebelling.
Li Shiluan saw that all the princes and subordinates were prostrate at his feet and cried for mercy, but this Wei bluntly said that he was not afraid, and even dared to reprimand himself loudly, he was also quite surprised.
Li Shiluan pulled Wei Zhiyan over, put the sword in his hand that was still dripping blood on his neck, and asked fiercely: "You are not afraid of death?!" ”
How do you know that Wei Zhiyan still did not change his face, and scolded loudly: "You don't need to plan to hate the prince, otherwise you would have died in the army, and there would be no change today!" After that, as soon as Wei bluntly closed his eyes, he was ready to be killed.
