There are many things that cannot be done without Li Shimin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Tang Zhou was not discouraged, he stood aside, pondered for a moment, and then said: "What the Holy Lord said is right, it is true that because of these policies, my Datang has been able to develop to this day, but the Holy Lord has not thought about it, if such a policy is continued, what will Datang's tomorrow be?" ”

Tomorrow is not a specific tomorrow.

Li Shimin's heart sank, and he somewhat understood the meaning of Tang Zhou's words.

Now these circumstances have seriously affected Datang's income, which is a very bad thing for Datang's national strength, maybe it doesn't seem particularly obvious now, but a few years later, this situation is like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, rolling bigger and bigger, and finally no one can stop it.

At that time, Datang was in danger.

Li Shimin glanced up at Tang Zhou, the little marquis who cooked back then, and now he has begun to think about his country's affairs, but he is still too young, this matter can be considered, but now is not the time to get rid of him.

At least in his opinion, it was not the time yet, it was too difficult.

Frowning slightly, Li Shimin said: "I know about this, I will think about it." ”

Tang Zhou didn't have any joy when he heard Li Shimin's words, Li Shimin wanted to delay himself, how could this work, he was not a fool, how could he not see it?

"Shengshang, this matter is urgent, the local government is in charge of money and food, it has the ability to develop its own army, it can recruit troops, they want to rebel, they can prepare all the things they need in a month, this is too dangerous for the Tang Dynasty, Li You, the king of Qi, is the proof, and please make up your mind to show my Tang style."

Tang Zhou's words came out, and Li Shimin's heart suddenly ached, and these words really stimulated him.

Why was Li You, the king of Qi, able to rebel, not that he had a lot of grain in his fiefdom, and as long as there was food, it was not easy to recruit troops and buy horses?

Although the rebellion may not succeed in the future, the rebellion is too easy to achieve, and the cost of rebellion is too low, so naturally some people want to rebel.

There are many Tang Domain towns, and many princes live scattered, if some of them have ill intentions, it is not easy to rebel?

But if they receive their grain, it will not be easy for them to rebel, right?

Li Shimin looked up at Tang Zhou again, this kid is really unique in seeing things, he can even see this, it's not simple, it's not simple.

When Li Shimin thought like this, Tang Zhou didn't feel anything, in fact, the reason why the late Tang Dynasty was so chaotic was not because the power of the Tang Dynasty was too strong, and everyone could be the king, and the world would naturally be chaotic, he just reminded Li Shimin of the situation after the Tang Dynasty in advance.

"Tang Aiqing is very thoughtful, but if I mention this matter, I will definitely be opposed by everyone, and at that time, I am afraid that it will not end well."

"The saint is too worried, you haven't tried yet, how do you know that it won't end well?"

Speaking of this, Tang Zhou groaned slightly, and said: "Even if there will be temporary chaos, if you can clear the obstacles for the future of Datang, it will be worth it, otherwise the price you will pay will be great." ”

It is possible to lose the country.

However, Tang Zhou didn't say this, in Li Shimin's mind, his Tang Dynasty was impossible to die, and he was very insistent on this, so there was no need for him to stimulate him.

After Tang Zhou said this, Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and after a long time, Li Shimin asked, "What does Tang Aiqing think should be done about this?" ”

"Take it one step at a time."

"How's it going step by step?"

"Start with the people who take advantage of the rules of the court, then the various magnates in the court, and finally the vassal kings, so that the easy first and then the difficult will definitely solve this matter."

After hearing this, Li Shimin said: "If these people join forces, it will not be easy to solve?" ”

Tang Zhou shook his head: "Holy Lord, rest assured, as long as the method is appropriate, when we deal with those people, the magnates and the vassal kings will not make a move, because they are not ordinary people, and when we deal with the magnates, those people and the vassal kings will not make a move, because they are not the magnates, but when we deal with the vassal kings, those magnates and the people will not make a move, because they are not the vassal kings." ”

People are selfish, it doesn't matter to themselves, there are not many smart people after all, who can see that when they deal with those people, the court has already put its hand into the powerful?

Not to mention those vassal kings, they thought they were royalty, thinking that even if Li Shimin did something to the powerful, the imperial court would do something to them?

Therefore, most of them will not help the powerful, and when it is their turn, the powerful will naturally not help these vassal kings.

Tang Zhou told Li Shimin his thoughts, and after listening to it, Li Shimin already understood the meaning of Tang Zhou's words, so after nodding, he showed a sly smile: "Actually, I have a good way to get those powerful people and vassal kings to help us." ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Li Shimin smiled, and did not answer Tang Zhou's words, but ordered someone to announce the eldest grandson Wuji into the palace.

Not long after, the eldest grandson Wuji entered the palace, and after he saw Tang Zhou, he felt a little strange in his heart, why was Tang Zhou here?

"Holy Lord, I don't know what happened to Xuan Weichen?"

Li Shimin was very casual and said, "Auxiliary, Tang Aiqing came to tell me something just now, I want to hear your opinion." ”

"Oh, what did Lord Tang say?"

Tang Zhou stood up and said: "Lord Changsun, isn't the lower official in charge of the household department, but recently I found a situation, many merchants and ordinary people took advantage of my Tang Dynasty's rules of preferential treatment of military meritorious soldiers and jinshi, and hung the land under their names in the names of these people, in order to escape taxes, the lower officials feel that this kind of behavior is detrimental to the interests of my Datang, should it be curbed?" ”

This situation, the eldest grandson Wuji also knew it, he saw Tang Zhou mention it, but he didn't think it was suspicious, after all, Tang Zhou is now the head of the household, of course, at this time, he didn't think that Li Shimin would do something to their magnates, after all, in his opinion, the power of the magnates is too big to do it.

"It really should be contained, I don't know what Tang Xiaohou wants to do?"

"That's the case, for those who have military merits and are admitted to the Jinshi, abolish the one-year tax exemption, those who have military merits can be rewarded with land, and a certain amount of extra money will be given every year, and those who are admitted to the Jinshi can be given a certain amount of money every year, so that the money will come for a long time, there will naturally be more people to perform, and my Datang will naturally be able to select more talents, what does the eldest grandson think?"

It is long before people with military merits are rewarded with land, but they are not given a certain amount of extra money, which will inevitably add a certain burden to the court, but this burden should not be anything compared to the loss of the court, and there will be casualties among soldiers in battle, and there will be no casualties after casualties.

Moreover, how many people can have military merits?
