Today, the typhoon arrived in the city, and it was still a shower that came and went during the day, and it rained heavily in the evening······ ）

In a remote corner far away, there was a table of people sitting who were also interested in listening, but at this time, seeing that the scholar surnamed Cui had stirred up the situation, he also felt quite bored, so someone took out the money to settle the account and left the tea shop.

When I came out, it was getting late, and it was the time when the shops were about to close, and the streets were already deserted, and many idlers stretched out on the streets, complaining that the curfew was too early.

Needless to say, this group of people is Li Yu and his party. Since leaving the palace during the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Yu has been holding back in the palace for three months, and finally eradicated the eunuchs, which made Li Yu suddenly feel a lot easier, so he took advantage of the joy and walked out of the palace again. This time, he didn't bring Youning, and Li Chun and Wang Shuwen were also in the car, and Li Yu also set fire to General Zuojin Wuwei, and the escort became Li Deyu and others, and there was also Li Jiang, a bachelor of Hanlin.

"What do you think of today's events?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has always thought that the words of the street talk are not elegant. Today is really unexpected. Jin Er's words just now, the minister thought that one spread ten, ten spread hundred, will inevitably make martial arts deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the power will even exceed the proclamation of the imperial court. The minister now thinks that if the street talk is used properly, the power will be better than that of 5,000 male soldiers. ”

"Hehe, it's rare for you to have such knowledge. In fact, if it is used properly, the power of street talk is more than 5,000 soldiers? I think that not only among the people, but also in the army, in the study, the power of public opinion should also be used, so that the people of the world, regardless of the farmers, businessmen and industry, can be proud of being loyal to the country, ashamed of rebels, proud of serving the Tang Dynasty, ashamed of endangering the Tang Dynasty, proud of being polite and courteous, ashamed of ignorance, proud of abiding by the law, ashamed of breaking the law and discipline, and •••••• this. ”

"Your Majesty is high. The ministers heard that the feudal towns of the unsubordinate closed schools, oppressed the scholars, and ignored the people, and did not even let the people come and go for weddings and funerals, and restricted the people from worshipping gods and temples, and did not want the people to know the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, and the great courtesy, and were ignorant and ignorant, and only knew about killing, and drove them away. Cruelty to the people, although the tyranny of Qin is not as good. Your Majesty's desire to guide the people with public opinion is really the right medicine and to the point. ”

"It's rare for you to have this kind of understanding, so it's up to you to do it?"

"Obey."

"What do you think about the scholar surnamed Cui?"

"This?" Li Yan asked this question broadly, and Li Jiang didn't know how to answer, so he had to say cautiously,

"Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the gap between the Shi and Shu people has always existed, and it is not a matter of one generation. There are many sages among the scholars, and there are also many unscrupulous. ”

Li Yu heard the words but did not speak, and boarded the carriage with the support of Gou Sheng, but Gou Sheng heard Li Yu say:

"Scholars? The so-called scholars, three generations ago, were just wild men who drank blood. ”

Of course, Li Jiang didn't hear what Li Yu said, and Gou Sheng, who heard what Li Yu said, quickly wiped the expression on his face, but Gou Sheng firmly remembered the other words that Li Yu said. Li Yu said very deeply:

"This son has the talent of a prime minister."

Li Yu didn't care what Gou Sheng heard, he was now sitting in the carriage, listening to the voices of people outside the car, thinking about a very serious question:

Money.

The urban design ideas of the Han and Tang dynasties were all about dividing the house in the system, and after the "establishment of the city", the first "system", that is, the urban land was divided into the lifang, and then the "house" was divided, that is, the lifang was divided into several homesteads and distributed to the residents. This method of urban land division has been fully used in the planning of Chang'an and Luoyang in the Sui and Tang dynasties, forming a neat urban image.

However, although the city is neat, the life of the people is very inconvenient, and the people can only stay in the workshop most of the time. Each "fang" is surrounded by a tall fang wall, there are fang doors in the east and west, north and south, and the switch is opened and closed regularly every day, and the switch time has not yet entered the fang, if it is caught by the people patrolling the city, it is necessary to squat in the class room. This kind of urban shape, looking down from a high place, is like a chessboard, so Bai Juyi wrote a poem to describe Chang'an as "thousands of families are like a game of Go, and the twelfth street is like a vegetable garden". However, the urban pattern is neat and tidy, but it is really not interesting for the ordinary people to live so unfreely.

The life of ordinary people is like this, and the life of high-ranking officials and nobles is limited even if there is freedom. Chang'an is rich in the world, many wealthy families, imperial relatives have a large amount of money every year, and this large amount of wealth in their hands is often transformed into fields, and their large-scale land annexation is often carried out in Guanzhong, land annexation caused a sharp decrease in the imperial court's tax source, a large number of Ding Zhuang became slaves or exiles, shaking the foundation of the imperial court.

In addition to the purchase of the land, the other relatives of the emperor and the wealthy families do not seem to spend a lot, and often accumulate in their hands, and the shrewd will invest in business in a low-key manner, earn back a large amount of money, and then collect it in the mansion, rot or finally be robbed by the rebels or rebels. There are very few money in the hands of the small people in the market.

If you don't find some means to get this large amount of wealth out and collect taxes on the flow, you are really ashamed of yourself who has heard and witnessed many corrupt methods in the 21st century, and I am sorry for heaven and earth, and I am sorry for my wife and children.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Li Yu looked at the gate of Pingkangfang and thought secretly, unconsciously used his brain, until the carriage stopped, only to find that he had returned to the palace.

Three days later, when the citizens of Chang'an came out of their workshops to the sound of drums, they were surprised to hear the news that the emperor had followed the advice of Li Jiang, a scholar of Hanlin, and ordered the demolition of the tall walls of Chang'an's fangs, and that the curfew system that had been in place for nearly two hundred years was about to be abolished. Chang'an will no longer be just a daytime city!

At first, the citizens felt very uncomfortable with this kind of change in their lifelong habits, but soon found that the wall around them was indeed very obstructive, very obstructive, starting with the children, a joyful mood began to spread among the citizens, and in the next few days, the discussion of the demolition of the wall quickly heated up, and the greeting of people's daily meeting almost became "Have you demolished it today?" ”

And the dignitaries and nobles are also walking around in series, and many big households have sniffed out the business atmosphere from this news and began to prepare for a big job.

The trends of wealthy shopping malls and street chatters are also collected on Ariji's desk through different channels every day. But Chang'an is a metropolis after all, and there will be new situations every day, and there is always no action to demolish the wall, and when the enthusiasm of the citizens of Chang'an cools a little, there will always be new topics related to the demolition of the wall. The demolition of the wall surpassed King Shu's rebellion and became the hottest topic in the autumn of the entire Chang'an. Even the military movements of the imperial court were not as attractive as the demolition of the walls.
