The lecture hall of Chang'an Tiance Academy can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, and the ingenious echo design can transmit the speaker's voice to every corner of the lecture hall.

No one knows what Xiao Qubing wants to talk about, but all the high-ranking officials and elites of the Tang Dynasty who come to listen to the lecture know that Xiao Quai's voice is the voice of His Majesty the Emperor, and Xiao Qubing is the real helmsman of Datang at present.

Datang has changed two emperors in succession within a year, and a new era has arrived, and it is the best time to know the next road of Datang and how to go back. Therefore, when Xiao Qu was ill and began to speak, everyone listened intently.

And among them, including Li Qi, there are still many Tiance Academy and Tang Martial Arts students who are full of ambition and ready to let go and do a great job, at this time, all of them are so high that they are almost overflowing.

"Your Majesty and this king have a great ideal, that is, to build a prosperous Tang Dynasty that has never existed, and to make the Tang Dynasty strong forever...... Therefore, His Majesty and this king, as well as many people in Tiance Mansion, can be regarded as out-and-out idealists, which is a good thing!

Datang is now facing a great change unseen in 3,000 years, Datang's tax revenue has increased more than twice compared with before, and its wealth has increased more than three times; Detached from the land, more than two million workers worked in the workshops, and many new things, industries that did not exist before kept appearing.

Along with it, there are all kinds of problems, changes come too fast, our management can't keep up at all, and many things are in a state of disorder. Our management. There are huge challenges ahead...... All this indicates. There is no doubt that change is necessary!

But how do you change it? Many people are thinking, but how do we need to change in order to adapt to the rapid changes in Datang? Many people came to ask the king, saying that there were so many new things, all brought out by the king, and they wanted the king to come up with a complete set of exquisite management systems, thinking that the king must have a way. ”

Hundreds of students from both schools had sparkling eyes. Hundreds of Tang officials pricked up their ears, and the Tang Emperor Li Qi's eyes lit up with excitement, but what Xiao Quzhi said next made them slightly disappointed.

"But this king can't take it out, this king, including this king's ancestors, does not have the ability to design such a set of exquisite systems, even if it is taken out, it will definitely have the opposite effect, so that the Tang Dynasty will fall into chaos, and the people's lives will be in great trouble.

Here's an example. I know. There were many people who scolded this king for Wang Mang when he was alive...... To be honest, this king and Wang Mang are really a bit alike. All are idealists. If this king wants to overturn the case for Wang Mang, what Wang Mang actually thinks in his heart is to build his ideal peaceful and prosperous world...... As a result, he was completely defeated, and his family was wiped out, leaving Wandai infamy......

…… It is because Wang Mang initiated a top-down change...... For example, in his 'Wang Tian system', a family of less than eight people shall not have more than 900 acres of cultivated land, and all those who exceed it will be confiscated, and the confiscated land will be distributed to the poor people. No matter how good an idea is, but in the end it is strongly opposed by the powerful landlords, so that it cannot be implemented, which is called unrealistic......

…… Moreover, Wang Mang abolished slaves and did not allow slaves to own, and the idea was also excellent, but selling himself into slavery was originally the last way for the poor to survive when they were cornered, but this last way of life was also cut off by Wang Mang, and in the end he could only starve to death......

…… For example, Wujun Liuzhen, the original intention of Wujun is to stabilize prices, purchase unsalable goods, and sell them when the market is in shortage, what a delicate design, what a good original intention, but the result is also a good intention to do bad things.

Because no matter how good the system is, it also needs people to implement it, how do the officials who implement this know whether the price is high or low, and whether the goods are unsalable or not?

There are loopholes in this system, and many businessmen will find ways to sell unsalable goods to these executive officials at high prices, and losses are inevitable; And if you don't want to lose money, you can only sell it to ordinary people at a high price, and as a result, the interests of the people will be damaged.

Moreover, these officials deal with money every day, and they can get a lot of money with a casual operation, can they not be tempted? Therefore, corruption and bribery, malpractice, and forced buying and selling are also inevitable!

So this seemingly exquisite, incomparably correct, and incomparably well-intentioned system ended up with all the food and goods, and no one could do business! ”

Xiao Qu's illness stopped for a while, some people began to talk in a whisper, and some people felt fresh and unacceptable because Xiao Qu's illness said good things for Wang Mang; There are also people who lament why a system that seems to be well-designed and well-intentioned backfires in the end. Then Xiao Qu's clear voice came out again, and everyone quieted down.

“…… Therefore, top-down change is bound to cause all kinds of problems! So what is a good change, a change that doesn't go wrong? The answer that the first master Taiji taught to this king is to change from the bottom up, or to guide.

To put it simply, it is not to be obsessed with the design of the system, but to let new things develop on their own, our government and the imperial court, what we have to do is to always pay attention, go down to the grassroots level, and listen to and collect opinions on problems.

Good opinions, the most put forward opinions, we will discuss it, and then take it to do fixed-point experiments, if the effect is really good, we will promote it in an all-round way; The same is true for the collected problems, first to develop various solutions, and then to test at a fixed point, if it really works, and then to carry out a comprehensive promotion.

That's it, little by little, little by little, the original various systems, constantly tinkering, and finally completing the great changes we are looking forward to! This is the direction of our work in the future, as well as officials at all levels of the imperial court, as well as officials at all levels of market business administration.

It should also be emphasized that the current Datang is in the midst of great changes, and many new things may violate some laws or previous management regulations.

However, as the king said just now, many of our laws and regulations are no longer applicable, so the imperial court and the government at all levels should treat these new things with a tolerant attitude as much as possible, and emancipate the mind, as long as such new things are new. Do not endanger others. Do not harm Datang. We will quietly pay attention to it, let it develop, and then use the method just mentioned to revise it, form a system, and standardize it.

Again, give two examples. For example, there was a lotus root coal workshop in the Four Seas Trading Company, and all the workers were paid the same amount before. As a result, someone is lazy. So some people put forward opinions: the lotus root coal produced by Zhang Asan is only more than half of that of my Li Asi, why should he get the same salary as me!

So this opinion was reflected to my wife, and my wife's opinion was to let the workers negotiate a plan that everyone could accept, and then the workers really discussed it.

The new scheme is to take an average that each worker must achieve, which is called fixed wages; After exceeding this average, there is no upper limit to how much more wages can be earned for every 100 lotus coals produced.

The solution was then tried out in this workshop, and the results were beyond everyone's expectations. In the first month, the output increased by more than 50%, not to mention the huge benefits of the workshop. The workers also benefited substantially, and every worker was very satisfied.

As a result, this successful experience began to spread to most of the workshops and supermarkets of the four trading companies, and as a result, the efficiency of these workshops and supermarkets increased by more than 30%.

Another example is the opinion of a small manager of Sihai Supermarket, saying that in addition to the usual salary, a bonus should be added according to the performance and attendance of each employee, as well as the supermarket's year-end income.

As a result, after the experiment, the management efficiency of the supermarket has improved, and the income has also increased by a few percent, so it has also been promoted under the name of the whole Sihai Trading Company, and now this small manager has become a supervisor of Sihai Supermarket. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Quzhi glanced at the director of the Sihai Trading Company named Zhao Shu who was sitting below with encouragement, and people began to talk in a whisper, and a feeling of sudden enlightenment arose.

Especially the students of Tiance Academy, they are all children of the family, and one of the poor people selected from the ten thousand, after graduation, they will either become Tang officials, or they will become elites from all walks of life, managers of workshops and firms, or technical talents.

No matter what they become in the future, the current state of mind is the same as Li Qi, that is, they have seen the great changes that Datang is facing, and they want to participate in it enthusiastically. Many people have had a heated discussion about designing a set of management systems to adapt to this new era, only to find that they have gone in the wrong direction - the wisdom of the teacher is really beyond the reach of mortals such as me!

Naturally, they didn't know that these words spoken by Xiao Qubing were a summary of the lessons and experience and wisdom of countless people in another time and space, and the greatest wisdom came from that shorter great man.

This is what this king calls bottom-up change, and it is the most successful change! To sum up, officials, officials, and managers should always pay attention to new things, go down to the bottom, discover, listen to and collect various problems and opinions, and then discuss, experiment, improve, promote, and then institutionalize them, and slowly complete the change from the old system to the new system.

Of course, in addition to these good examples, there are many bad problems; For example, some black-hearted workshops disregard the lives and health safety of workers, let workers work for long hours, but the wages are very low, and some people even open underground workshops, abduct and sell people, do not pay wages, and beat and scold arbitrarily; Some workshops have seriously polluted the surrounding environment and affected the lives of local residents; In addition, many officials in management have engaged in various kinds of bribery, public use for personal gain, and corruption. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Qu's sick eyes swept over some of the representatives of officials, families and big merchants, and the voice of the yin owl sounded, making some of them shudder.

"These are all issues that need to be closely watched and seriously treated by the Tang Dynasty and officials at all levels, and they should be resolutely and severely cracked down! This king is here to remind some people that the Tiance internal guard has mastered a lot of such black materials, including the Four Seas Trading Company, all families, all the powerful families, and all the big businessmen, and they have a time limit of 20 days to make rectifications and compensate these workers.

Twenty days later, if it has not been rectified, one family will be caught, and one family will be dealt with severely, and the bankrupt property of the fine will be light, and then the king will be blamed for being ruthless! ”

For more than three years, they have been doing business with the Four Seas Trading Company, starting a workshop, making a fortune, and the relationship with the Four Seas Trading Company is also extremely harmonious. In addition, some time ago, Datang was in turmoil, and no one cared about them, and many people were blackhearted in order to make more money...... I thought it was okay, but now I realize that these are all illegal and moral...... It turned out that Tiance Mansion had been staring at these things for a long time. The spies of Tiance Mansion are not covered. Now Li Qi is the emperor. Tiance Mansion is in power, and he is not afraid to do anything to them...... Many people's cold sweat came out at once.

At this moment, Xiao Qubing clapped his hands, and a large world map appeared on the wall behind the lectern, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Xiao Qubing slowly walked in front of this world map, looked around everyone, and the clear voice sounded again.

"This is the map of the whole world. This large area of pale red is our Datang, and these pale yellow ones are ...... These places are mostly wildling...... What this king wants to say is that in the whole world, our Datang is the most powerful empire, and the army of Datang is the most powerful army in the world!

We Tang people are the proudest, most noble, and most confident people in the world, and the world is so big, we shouldn't keep our eyes on the inside of Datang. Single-mindedly trying to enslave one's own people and get that little pitiful gain. And he also risked going to jail and beheading.

Our eyes should look outward, the outside world, everywhere is rich. We don't need to take all the places, it's too stupid to lose them; But the wealth of the world, including manpower, is at our disposal!

Your Majesty and the King envisioned this, this, and this...... These places will be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the largest ocean in the world, will be the inner ocean of the Tang Dynasty...... In these places, we will establish strongholds and send great governors...... This method is called economic colonization......

…… With my invincible Tang army to escort you, where the rivers and rivers are shining, the sun and the moon shine, and the iron hooves are stepping on, all for the Tang Dynasty! The whole world is waiting for us to open up, and the wealth of the whole world is waiting for us to claim, do you still want to stare at this acre and three points of land at home, risk raiding your home and going to jail, and do these illegal things?

Tell the king, what are we going to do? ”

"Open up the world, conquer the world, and give what you want!" Several students of the Great Tang Martial Arts and Tiance Academy stood up and shouted loudly. Then all the people stood up together, and their right hands thumped their chests, and they shouted in unison, like madness!

"Open up the world, conquer the world, and give what you want!"

This lecture not only formulated Datang's next administrative strategy, but also showed a new world in front of all Datang people. The Tang people, who are the most high-spirited and confident people in Chinese history, have been encouraged by Xiao Quzhi and the propaganda of the Tang Post Newspaper to open up the world and conquer the world.

A month later, the round-the-world voyage that had been delayed for various reasons finally set sail, and as the fleet went away, all the Tang people had great hopes in their hearts and began to build the Tang Dynasty more enthusiastically, preparing for the upcoming global development and global economic colonization. The shipbuilding industry, in particular, has become extremely prosperous and developed all of a sudden!

Twenty-two months later, the two round-the-world fleets returned to their home with detailed information on their routes. He also brought back many exotic beasts, such as jaguar panthers, African lions, ostriches, giraffes, etc.; There are also many crops that have never been seen before, such as seeds, corn, potatoes, peppers, rubber, cocoa beans...... Then the whole Datang boiled all at once.

In the third year of Chengtian (Li Qi's name), Xiao Qubing served as Shang Shuling, the general of Tiance, and ruled the world. With the emperor's trust and support, the assistance of famous ministers and good generals, and countless protégés holding important positions in the army, Xiao Qubing was able to wholeheartedly build the ideal Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Li Sheng, Ma Sui, Nan Jiyun, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Gao Xianzhi and other star-studded famous generals of the time, with the New Tang Army, which was extremely close to the nature of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, began a four-party campaign.

The vanguard is the Youzhou rebels and the Hui rebels who surrendered during the An Lushan rebellion, they are still servant soldiers, if they can fight for the Tang Dynasty for six years, participate in the war fifteen times, or make meritorious contributions three times, they can officially become a member of the Tang Army and have Tang citizenship.

At this time, the Tubo Kingdom had long since perished, Subi and Zhangxiong were inseparable, and Japan and Silla had already become the Fusang Governor's Mansion and the Silla Governor's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the targets of this expedition are mainly the Tubo Plateau, the Bohai Kingdom, the Heishui Spirit, Tianzhu, and the greatest enemy of the Tang Dynasty, Da Shi; After hearing the news, the Bohai Kingdom and the Black Water Warrior took the initiative to surrender, but the Tang Dynasty thought that only the land that the Tang Army's iron cavalry had personally stepped on could be regarded as truly conquered.

It is worth mentioning that under the Tang Dynasty's big stick and carrots, as well as the strong and inclusive cultural assimilation of the Tang Dynasty, not only all the prefectures in the Tang Dynasty have completed the transformation of the land and returned to the stream; And every ethnic minority has begun to identify with the Tang Dynasty, learn Han culture, and be proud to be a Tang person!

After that, the Tang Dynasty introduced the primogeniture inheritance law, and when all the non-eldest son Tang people were extremely keen to go to sea to explore adventures, Xiao Qubing was not so eager.

Although he is in a high position, one person is above 10,000 people, because Li Qi will never doubt him, and Datang is actually operating according to his will. But in fact, he is very lazy, and the main work is done by Li Qi and Li Xian, as well as Lu Yi, Zhang Xun and others, Xiao Quzhi's main role is still the spiritual leader, and he is always at the helm.

Therefore, in addition to going to the Imperial City Shangshu Province every three or five days to take a shift, and going to Tiance Academy and Datang Martial Arts every three or five days to give two classes, Xiao Quzhi spent more time at home with his four wives, He Keer, Cao Xueyang, Liqisi and Zhu Ling'er, as well as six children, and lived a good life.

Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan often call people to find Xiao Quai, and Li Longji was quite puzzled by Xiao Quai's state, and when he asked, Xiao Quzhi only smiled. Except for him and He Ke'er, no one will know how happy Xiao Qu's heart is at the moment. (To be continued.) )

PS: The content of this chapter is not very flattering, but I thought about it for two days and decided to write it this way. Because this is the content of the last two volumes of my original outline - after Li Qi became emperor, how Xiao Quzhi carried out internal construction, external expansion, and how to subdue the magnates of various families. However, because it was necessary to wrap up, the last two volumes could not be written in detail, so the two volumes were condensed into one chapter, so I thought of a way to give a lecture. The story is officially over, and there is an easter egg ending at the end, but it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up today.
