"You Nizi, the Philippines is a long way away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Are you really going?' , Li Chen persuaded Li Yining bitterly, "This kind of thing, you can send someone to follow, why go in person? In that part of the Philippines, it's so hot and so hot that you won't be able to get used to it."

"Oh, uncle, you promised me that I could take my wife and children." , Li Chengtai helped on the side, Li Chen glared at him, "You little bastard, this is your wife, you don't feel sorry at all, such a wild place, if you really take her there, you are not afraid of becoming Taishan's father one day."

Li Chengtai also rolled his eyes, Taishan got the story, Li Chen told him, but since he was worried, why did he say it at the beginning, just say this kind of thing now, isn't this a curse on him, besides, it's not up to him now.

"Oh, uncle, others can go, why can't I go, we just got married, it's a honeymoon trip, and we won't go to dangerous places." Besides, if I don't go there myself, how do I know how to develop it?" , Li Yining said coquettishly.

"Well, I'm worrying about it, your honeymoon trip is really special, I can't help it, if you want to go, don't go to dangerous places." , Li Chen was helpless, and he couldn't see that Li Chengtai was still a strict wife.

He was worried now that the Taishan he thought casually that day, the Tang version of Taishan, would come true. If something like this happens, he'll send a rescue team.

Well, you say that this Datang has a custom of honeymooning? That's not the point. But there really is, there are many origins of this honeymoon, no matter which one it is, it is before the Tang Dynasty.

Legend has it that the honeymoon originated in four ways, starting with the Babylonians in the 4,000 years BC. They had a custom that during the month after the marriage, the father-in-law would serve his son-in-law honey beer as much as he could. Therefore, that period is known as the "Honey Month".

Secondly, the Teutonic people in the fourth century B.C. had a habit of drinking several glasses of sugar water or wine made from honey every day from the day of the wedding, which represented happiness and beauty. At the same time, they also have to go out, the travel time is thirty days, because they have the custom of robbing marriage, in order to avoid being robbed back, so they have to go out.

Then there was the English in the sixth century, the daughter of a tribal leader who was very beautiful, and she later married a prince. Because she loved honey since she was a child, the prince knew that she liked honey when he proposed, and specially sent a large amount of high-quality honey.

At the wedding banquet, the princess asked the cook to make honey into wine and share it with everyone, and the newlyweds drank the leftover wine for another month.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor had regulations that in order to cultivate the feelings of newlyweds, after they got married, they must be locked up in a cave for thirty days.

Food and water are delivered by the relatives of both men and women, so that they can build a relationship between husband and wife in the cave, and on the other hand, they can learn to cook on the fire and learn how to live. This is where the "cave room" comes from.

There were two young men who were sent to the cave after they got married, but they were really uncomfortable, and after ten days, the two escaped and ran close to the forest

After a few days of freedom, they were tired of life, worried about being eaten by wild beasts, and had to gather food, and their lives were precarious.

One day, when they were collecting food, they were accidentally covered by bees, and the two of them were so sad that they died, and finally got better, in order to retaliate, they simply set fire to the tree with honeycomb, and accidentally got a lot of honey, and the two relied on honey for a month, and were finally found and rescued. This is the origin of the Chinese honeymoon, whether it is true or not, it is impossible to test.

Since it is not testable, how did it spread? Speaking of which, Li Chen owes a lot of money, and at the marriage ceremony of Ah Xiang and Xiaohu, he told these legends as stories, and encouraged Ah Xiang and Xiaohu to go on their honeymoon. As a result, this matter was written by Ah Xiang in the Suncheon Daily as a gonzo, and the matter spread.

As for why the two had to go to the Philippines for their honeymoon, it was also related to Li Chen, who really wanted to slap himself twice.

Not to mention now, even in modern society, the Philippines is not a good place. The former "showcase of Asian democracy" has long lagged behind the Asian Tigers, which has been a rising star for many years, and has not seen any improvement for many years, not to mention the Asian Tigers, whose economy has not improved for many years, and even countries such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, which were far behind them in those years, have gradually surpassed him.

Now it's even worse, it's not a good place to spend a vacation at all. It's just that they will go to the Philippines, all of which are related to Li Chen, Li Chengtai is going to the Philippines to investigate, and Li Yining is going to develop.

Li Chengtai is with the army, will go to investigate the local Philippines, climate, soil, environment, etc., when there was a large-scale self-theft case, the Philippine operation was urgently stopped, and now it has resumed, Li Chengtai immediately asked for orders to go to the Philippines for investigation.

And Li Yining also followed the army to the Philippines, not to invest, but to develop the Philippines on behalf of the Tang Royal Firm.

The prime minister deliberated on the application of a new joint-stock limited trading company, one of which was the development of the Philippines, and like the development of the new continent, Li Chen decided to introduce the power of businessmen and use the help of capital raising to speed up the development of the Philippines.

Compared with the distant New World, things in the Philippines are more urgent, because Li Chen is not familiar with this model, so he can only cross the river by feeling the stones like later generations.

In this case, it is better to study in a more visible place than in the New World. The New World is so far away, and if something goes wrong, it's not easy to solve it right away. The Philippines is relatively close, more supervised, and if there is a problem, it can be solved immediately.

And the Philippines is also newly developed, and if successful, it can also be used as a model for the development of the new continent. Therefore, Li Yining excused that the matter was very important, and he also wanted to go to the Philippines.

The stakes are indeed high, and there are many issues involved in the development of the Philippines, such as the construction of new towns. It costs a lot of money to develop the New World, and since it is a trading company, it has to be responsible for its own profits and losses, and it is impossible for the imperial court to subsidize too much, although there are many royal shares in it.

But everything must be according to the business model, otherwise in the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, those officials supervising commercial industries are the best examples.

Although it is based on the business model, the cost of this capital is not small. Li Chen has been thinking about how he can subsidize it, although he has thought about a lot of industries for the New World, but whether it is enough or not, it is still two words. Besides, he is only following the experience of the Hereafter.

He also doesn't know whether these experiences are suitable for Datang, and whether they are suitable for Datang's national conditions and current times. Like the Philippines, there is no fur. Although he thought that he could use the plantation method, how to actually operate it was to be tested.

In addition to how to obtain benefits and continue to develop, how should the colonization be managed, send officials, or let the local people govern themselves, and only send people to manage them after a certain extent? These need to be tested by actual operation. In this way, he needs his own people. A man he trusts to win when his eyes see.

In addition to being trustworthy, you must also have enough brains to be able to detect problems and discover potential local interests, so Li Yining is probably the best candidate.

However, having said that, Li Chen didn't want to send her to develop the Philippines at the beginning? What a good place to be in the Philippines. Originally, he wanted to send a group of people, but one person can't do it, a group of people can, one person is responsible for one aspect, and in the coming assembly, he can always get it.

But who would have thought that these two people were so strange that they would be very fashionable to go on their honeymoon, and what kind of bird place would they go to. So far, he can only be prepared for the worst, anyway, the Tang Dynasty set up a jungle army, recruiting a lot of natives living in the jungle and hunters living in the local area, if he really has to be crow's mouth, just try to save people back.

"It's time to change the system of six ministries in these three provinces." , The merchant group set off with the army, and the prime ministers urgently discussed and determined several investment cases for pilots, and only after taking a break, Li Chen threw out another topic. He wanted to reform the Tang Dynasty's three-province and six-ministry system.

The three-province six-ministry system, when Li Chen was studying, he always heard praise words, saying that the power and responsibility of the three provinces were relatively independent, and they supervised each other, restrained each other, supervised politics, and consolidated the imperial power.

In fact, when the exam was passed, Li Chen wrote it well and listened to it, in fact, he thought in his heart that this kind of system was slowly evolving, and the original founder definitely didn't think so, but it was just a step at a time. If this system is really good, it should last for thousands of years, like the imperial examination, which has been followed in Chinese history for thousands of years.

How long are the three provinces and six ministries? It was only a few hundred years in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, it was not that system. If you go further, it will disappear completely, and it will be replaced by more and more centralized power, centralized emperor, centralized imperial court and a certain institution. Three provinces and six ministries were already a noun in the Song Dynasty.

When he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, as he ruled for a long time, the more he read, the more he understood the Datang system, the more he felt that this system should be changed, and it was useless not to change this system, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty had lasted for hundreds of years, and the three provinces and six ministries were really implemented, probably for decades.

How do you count decades? Didn't the three provinces and six ministries start from the Sui Dynasty? That's right. However, in practice, power has been weakened and encroached upon.

For example, Shangshu Province was originally the most powerful, and the person who could serve was also close to the emperor. However, after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, the Shangshu Provincial Decree was abolished. Because Li Shimin once held this position, no one dared to do it in the future. When he arrived in Gaozong, he officially abolished the Shangshu Order, and shot with Shangshu servants, and actually ruled Shangshu Province.

This is not the end, Shangshu Province is not only nominally inferior to the other two provinces, and then the rights are gradually transferred to the hands of Zhongshu Province. There is a frequent shortage of people, or being demoted, etc., and the responsibility of Shangshu Province is actually taken away by Zhongshu Province, which is theoretically a unit of decision-making body.

Not only that, but in fact, the functions of the three provinces were weakened more and more later. In fact, from the Taizong Dynasty, the establishment of the Tongping Zhangshi, the three provinces were divided into rights, and the Tongping Zhangshi was established other than the governor of the three provinces.

During the period of Gaozong, Gaozong set up the "North Gate Bachelor", which was also the power and responsibility of the prime minister. Evolved from the North Gate Bachelor to the Hanlin Bachelor, known as the Inner Minister, responsible for drafting the edict, "All the generals in and out, are Hanlin grass". Hanlin bachelor, become the prime minister, the history of "Zhen Yuan has been, for the bachelor to undertake the will, more than the prime minister".

When he arrived at Xianzong, Master Hanlin had the ability to take charge of secrets alone. Emperor Xianzong appointed the chief scholar of Hanlin as the "Bachelor of Commitment" or "Dean of the Bachelor", who was in charge of the edict and seal, and had an independent administrative body, which could discuss state affairs with the emperor.

In Zhongshu Province, the rights were encroached upon and greatly weakened, and such a situation would occur, mainly because before Anshi, Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong had been chaotic as Zhongshu, which led to the weakening of the power of this position.

If these are normal, then after Anshi, there are more abnormalities. With the Anshi Rebellion as a watershed, before Anshi, the rights of the three provinces and six ministries were still in Shangshu Province, and it was greatly usurped by Shangshu Province. After Anshi, the entire three provinces and six departments ceased to exist.

In addition to the Hanlin Bachelors, there are also local Jiedu envoys, who are called envoys, or the prime minister is transferred to the local government to serve as the Jiedu envoy, or the Jiedu envoy is directly named as the prime minister, which also usurps the rights of the imperial court.

Even more serious is the cardinal minister, who is the privy envoy, who appeared in the late Tang Dynasty and holds the highest position in charge of military power. It was usually held by eunuchs, who held this power and used their military power to interfere in political affairs and disrupt the court. Before Ma Yuanzhen, he was in charge of the court as a privy envoy.

Therefore, the three provinces and six departments of the Tang Dynasty have long been ruined. It is not as good as the future generations imagined. In fact, as far as the root is concerned, these three provinces and six departments are not a conscious act, and the three provinces have been basically for the purpose of centralizing power since they were established.

What decentralization? It was generation after generation of emperors who set up institutions in order to centralize power for themselves. Because the power of the prime minister is too great, the prime minister gets the right, and there is a Chinese book and a monk book accordingly. So fundamentally, this is not a conscious establishment of an institution that can check and supervise each other, but is purely for the purpose of centralizing power in the emperor.

In this case, it is not surprising that it will evolve like this, it is not the kind of later generations at all, based on the separation of three powers, the separation of five powers, the establishment of a perfect administrative body, there is no guiding outline, it can be used, tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, the emperor thinks how good, how to change, it will become messy, it is not strange.

What Li Chen wants to do now is to completely rectify it, tinker with it or something, there is no need. Of course, he is not changing randomly, but he has made some changes in the current political system of the Tang Dynasty to make the name match the reality.
