Chapter 293: Chaos (Part I) (Big Chapter Asks for Subscription)
Walking in the forefront are six columns of cavalry, black on the left and white on the right, black and black horses on the left, white horses and white armor on the right, black and white, but the cavalry on the horse almost even stepped on the same rhythm of the horses' hooves.
When they reached the border line in the middle, the two columns of cavalry separated directly at right angles to the left and right, and as if they had walked to an invisible wall, they began to gradually extend to their sides. Grabbing
When the two columns of cavalry finally finished, behind them was the dull and uniform footsteps of "bang" and "bang".
"Click" "click" accompanied by the sound of neat footsteps is the sound of the armor on the infantrymen's body, these sounds seem to turn into a crisp and majestic music, and the dull footsteps seem to tremble even the earth.
When the four columns of infantry approached them, one of the generals who led the team spoke loudly: "Stand! β
"Boom!" With a uniform voice, everyone stood straight in place.
When they stopped, Li Shimin, who was riding on his horse, could see that the spears they were holding were all horizontal and vertical, like a strict and neat wooden stake.
"Turn back!" With a new command, with a "swish", in two columns, four columns of infantry turned to both sides of the road at the same time.
"The guards are in place!" There was another loud roar, two uniform sounds, "click" and "click", these soldiers took two big steps forward at the same time, they instantly moved to both sides of the road, and then turned back again with a "bang" at the same time, and the four columns of infantry stood in a group of two, becoming opposite!
Then there was a dull sound of "bang", and the hilt of the spear in their hand was placed on the ground at the same time, and the tip of the spear stood like a forest!
Solemn! Dense! From beginning to end, there is no superfluous movement, and each soldier is as mechanical and efficient as a puppet! These soldiers didn't even look at them from beginning to end, as if they only had everything in front of them, and they really did what it means to not squint!
When these infantry separated, Huo Gang, who was also wearing an incomparably gorgeous armor on the opposite side, led his generals from the middle of the gun forest to Li Shimin and them.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin couldn't help but glance back at the commander of the forbidden army next to him, Li Shimin's commander of the Imperial Forest Army seemed to feel Li Shimin's gaze, and he lowered his head slightly with a weak heart.
Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are not powerful, but the enemy is too perverted! These soldiers...... It's really horrible!
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods.
If at the beginning, the people of Datang were still cheering because of the elite of Datang, when the army of Dahan appeared, these people of Datang were directly silenced, and the expressions on everyone's faces were shocked in addition to shock!
Because in this day and age there really has never been such a majestic army!
Look at those shields, look at those spears, all the shields are placed almost exactly the same! This...... Is it human?! Can a man do this?!
Don't talk about these people, Li Shimin, who has led troops to fight for so many years, has never seen such an elite! It's not just Li Shimin, the Wenchen of this era is not a literal Wenchen, like Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian, although they are Wenchen, but they can do it if they ride a horse and lead the army to fight!
Even if they personally draw their swords to kill the enemy, the literati of this era, especially some well-known literati, can almost really do the six arts of a true gentleman! This is also the reason why the famous ministers of this era are from the family of gate lords.
Because ordinary people ...... I really can't afford to raise it, not to mention anything else, the six arts of a gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, mathematics, which one of the ordinary poor children play? Not to mention the disciples of the poor family, some small rich families in this era can't afford to play, even if they are small families in some small places, it is estimated that they can barely provide one or two family elites to play these six kinds.
So, in fact, the family door valve to protect their own rights is also said in the past, after all, the efforts of more than ten generations of the family of people, why do you want to have a poor child who has studied hard for more than ten years? Who is this unfair to?
Of course, this thing, from ancient times to the present, and even in the future, will not be conclusive, because this is a natural opposite, as long as human beings are selfish, this kind of thing cannot be destroyed.
When a son of a poor family is a poor family, he will fight to the end with the door valve family for the status of the poor family, when he becomes an important minister of a country, his family expenses are lost, and when he himself becomes a door valve family, do you guess he will continue to fight with the door valve family for the status of the poor family?
If he continues, then he's going to kill himself!
There may be such a person, there are many ministers in history who can't afford to buy a coffin after they die, but Huo Gang feels that the minister who can't afford a coffin is the fault of this person in power! Because such a minister does not even have his own legal income, do you dare to say that it is not the fault of those in power?
Therefore, Du Ruhui and they were all dumbfounded, even if they were not as good as Li Jing, a professional general with troops, but they also knew that such soldiers were absolutely forbidden on the battlefield!
Seeing that Huo Gang had already come over, Li Shimin retracted his thoughts, and after the other party came over, Li Shimin rode on his horse and arched his hand to Huo Gang and said, "Tang Emperor Li Shimin." β
"Huo Gang, the leader of the Han Dynasty." Huo Gang also arched his hand at Li Shimin.
"Please." Li Shimin made a gesture of please.
"Please." The same is true for Huo Gang.
The two of them turned over and dismounted almost at the same time, and then there were officials from the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty and Wu Ping next to them to guide them, there were all kinds of rules, anyway, Huo Gang didn't have to think about anything, just follow their rules. ε·ζ δΉ θ―»ζ
In fact, there are so many people here, and everyone involved knows some things, so there is no need for so many rules.
Soon, the two sides have entered this room, and the next procedures are simple, the alliance of both sides is written in advance, and the jade seal of the Tang Dynasty is naturally carried by Li Shimin, and soon the two sides will put their respective seals on the covenant, and then exchange, seal, and then both sides keep a copy.
After the whole process, it didn't take long to sign the covenant, but after the covenant was signed, Huo Gang and Li Shimin waved everyone away, and there were only two people left in the room.
"Chief, we're meeting again so soon." Li Shimin said with a smile. Grabbing
"Yes, we've met again so soon, but it looks like everything is going well with Your Majesty's arrangement." Huo Gang also smiled.
"So far, everything is going well, and the results of the battle against Tuyuhun are also going well, but after talking to the leader last time, there are still many questions that I haven't thought of, and this time I have to ask for advice." Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Huo Gang immediately nodded.
"I released a message before, in places like the Northeast, I can let these families enclose the land at will, and as long as they have minerals in the enclosure, they will also hand it over to them to operate." Li Shimin said.
"In such a situation, how do you think the relevant laws should be enacted so that I will have a chance to clean them up later." Li Shimin asked.
"Actually, it's simple." Huo Gang smiled.
"Oh? The chief speaks. Li Shimin was a little curious, he had been thinking about it for a long time during this time, and he didn't have any legal provisions that got along too well, you must know that there is no fool in these family gates, if it is too obvious, it will definitely not work, so there are some laws that must be carefully considered.
"It is only necessary to add a sentence at the bottom that the final interpretation of this law belongs to the royal family, or to the Ministry of Commerce. I'm sure Your Majesty should understand what this final interpretation means, right? Huo Gang couldn't help but ask with a smile.
There is definitely this article in many unreasonable clauses in later generations, so this right of interpretation is very secondary.
"This ...... I understand what the right of final interpretation means, but wouldn't that give the impression of backtracking? This shouldn't be the case with a country's laws. Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and finally explained, although he had never heard of this word, but in fact, after thinking about it a little, he knew how much of this thing was boring.
But the law is a very serious thing, if this is repeated three times or twice, then what credibility does the country's law have? What credibility does the royal family have to speak of?
"Oh, Your Majesty, you're still too honest." Huo Gang couldn't help but smile and said, anyway, it's just the two of them here, it doesn't matter if they talk casually.
And Li Shimin was speechless, am I honest? You're afraid you're not getting something wrong, and you're ...... Didn't you kid agree with me marrying my daughter to you? Are you mistaken about your identity? I'm your father-in-law!
However, Li Shimin just slandered in his heart, so naturally he would not say it, in fact, Li Shimin still feels quite comfortable with this kind of communication at present, because there are really not many people who can communicate with him on an equal footing.
"Then I'd like to hear about it." Li Shimin smiled and said, "How can I be honest." β
"Your Majesty, it's very simple, you can't do such a thing often, but it should be okay to do it once, right? And, Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, you don't actually use punctuation in the way you write in the Tang Dynasty, right? "Let's play WabaRet
"It's like the sentence in the Analects, the people can make it, but they can't know it, I believe Your Majesty should have heard it." Huo Gang smiled.
"Well, what's wrong with that?" Li Shimin asked with some confusion.
"It's very simple, it's okay to break this sentence now, but if you change the way, for example, the people can make it. You can't make it, you know it. Does Your Majesty think there is a problem with such a sentence? Huo Gang shrugged his shoulders.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up instantly, he looked at Huo Gang in a daze and said: "Leader, this sentence has never been so broken for so many years. β
"I think I understand what the leader means." Li Shimin instantly understood what Huo Gang wanted to say, which was nothing more than setting up similar loopholes in the sentences of the law, and then cooperating with the final interpretation of the last sentence, in this way, as long as they came out to say it, no one would be able to say anything.
Even this final interpretation right can be added or not, because what my emperor said is the truth! I don't need to add anything to interpret!
"Yes, that's what it means, this kind of thing can't be commonly used, but Your Majesty, you can circle a big circle at one time, and when the time comes, you can directly clean up a few of the largest ones, and then at that time, I believe that Your Majesty's strength is already very strong, and you will clean up the most powerful part, and the rest of the part, Your Majesty will slowly clean up, even if they don't make mistakes, I think they will protect themselves, and they should not oppose Your Majesty's policy." Huo Gang shrugged his shoulders.
"Thank you, Chief, for your doubts." Li Shimin arched his hand at Huo Gang and said with a smile.
"After this alliance with the leader, I will return to Chang'an tomorrow, here in Guazhou and Liangzhou, I will not stop the migration of these displaced people, if the leader is willing to absorb them, of course it is a good thing, after all, as long as they can survive, it is a good thing for the victims of my Datang as long as they can survive, whether it is in Datang or Dahan." Li Shimin said very simply.
This matter was also discussed between Li Shimin and Du Ruhui, although Li Shimin would not issue policies openly, but he would secretly instruct some officials to acquiesce to such a thing.
In fact, the number of these victims will not be too much even if they are migrated, it is nothing more than adding tens of thousands of people to Huo Gang's side, compared to the population of Datang, this person is drizzle.
What's more, the people in Datang will not move casually.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Those who should be thanked still have to be thanked, and such a thing cannot be written into the covenant, so this is a gift from Li Shimin to Huo Gang.
"Besides, Chief, it's still the same question from before, do you think that if I give those families enough rights, can they develop the territory of Youzhou that the leader said?" Li Shimin is somewhat uncertain about this.
"Actually, I think Your Majesty, you have done a very good job in this matter." Huo Gang thought about it, to be honest, he didn't expect Li Shimin to be so forbearing, obviously he wanted to clean up these families, but now he still dares to give them such a big opportunity, from this point it can be seen that Li Shimin actually has a detailed plan for the future development of Datang.
"Give power to these families, in fact, Your Majesty, you don't need to stipulate too much, just like you said, as long as they are willing to reclaim the land, as much as they reclaim, they will give them as much land as they want, but it is impossible for their families to plant these lands, then when the time comes, these families must need some tenants to plant for them, the greater their ambitions, the more tenants they need."
"According to what Your Majesty said, how many people do you think these families can attract to follow them and migrate to Youzhou?" Huo Gang asked rhetorically. Grabbing
"If you just hire tenants, it is estimated that the population will not be very large." Li Shimin thought about it, and shook his head directly, although there are actually many tenants in various families, but this number is not too much, because these tenants will not migrate easily.
As long as they live. And just like Huo Gang said, there are at least 20,000 acres of black soil in Youzhou, how many people do you need? At least, millions can't be reclaimed.
And what is the total population of Datang?
"So, if they want to attract tenants, they must take the initiative to release better policies, and at this time, if Your Majesty can find an inconspicuous family, first release huge conditions to attract a wave of peasants to migrate." ζ·ζ ζ
"Then whether it is the five surnames and seven wangs, or the nobles of the world, they will act, and once they act in the early stage, then to put it bluntly, they need to take money out of their pockets!"
