"The map of the world." Li Xuan looked a little excited and raised his head slightly, then restrained and suppressed, and said seriously: "The minister has served the court for many years, but he found that there is a big problem in the court. ”

"What's the drawback?" Empress Wu looked at Li Xuan, who looked a little suppressed and excited, and understood in her heart that she seemed to have asked Li Xuan what she really cared about.

"Although Datang has a map of the world, the prefectures, prefectures and counties do not have detailed and accurate reports on the number of fertile fields in the world, which grows wheat, which grows rice, and which grows mulberry hemp, so that the total amount of taxes paid by Datang every year is determined by the local government." Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Empress Wu solemnly.

Empress Wu frowned, and asked puzzledly, "Isn't this right?" ”

Li Xuan was just about to speak, but Empress Wu waved his hand and said: "What you just said is also wrong, the court and the central government have detailed records of the number of acres of land in the world, wheat, rice, and mulberry and hemp. ”

"Diva." Li Xuan bowed down and said seriously: "Queen of Heaven, Ruochen guessed correctly, the figures of the household department are all the numbers of three or five years ago, and this number, compared with the actual number of acres in the world today, there is always a huge gap. ”

In this way, it is not surprising that he did not hesitate.

Li Xuan bowed heavily, this kind of method is not something that ordinary people can use.

Compared with Hai Rui's anger and resentment, Di Renjie is much more cautious here.

……

If you really follow this strategy, the world's soldiers and officials don't know how much money they will collect every year.

In the Qianyang Palace, Empress Wu looked to the side: "King Peng acts, both civil and military, Yuan Qing, if after five years, King Peng is transferred back to Chang'an, what position is the most appropriate?" ”

"This money has been embezzled." Empress Wu immediately understood, and then, she shook her head and said: "This money, the court has long been aware of it, but this is the good governance of the imperial court, and the families and officials in the world can't be too harsh." ”

"Please show the queen." Li Xuan bowed again.

"Whoa!" Li Xuan bowed, and then slowly retreated.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, raised his head, and then bowed in a deep voice: "The minister will decree that the prince will be persuaded to act generously, be sincere and loyal in the future, be cautious up and down, and be harmonious inside and outside." ”

"As a guest of the prince, it is your duty to advise the prince and advise the prince, but you must also be cautious and not to lure the prince into the wrong way." Empress Wu looked straight at Li Xuanxia, and the deep meaning in her eyes was extremely clear.

Li Xuan stared at the Empress Wu and said without concession: "This law, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there was no obstacle, but now, the population of the Tang Dynasty has increased dramatically, and the new places opened every year do not know the general, that is, there are countless omissions in the household registration every three years, and they have accumulated over the years, and they do not know how much less taxes are paid." ”

"Hidden Field, Hidden Field Inventory." Empress Wu stared at Li Xuan and said, "The DPRK and China are already conducting an inventory of the hidden fields to make up for the shortcomings. ”

"What the Queen of Heaven said is extremely true, the minister resigns from all his functions, and the three law divisions will be punished for their crimes." Li Xuan took a step back, and then fell directly to the ground, his voice sincere.

In the main hall, it was cold for a while.

Li Xuan's decision was too fast, and the fast martial arts queen sensed that something was wrong, and after she realized that something was wrong, she immediately thought of the "eight discussions" system.

"Punish sin according to the law!" Li Xuan bowed his head in a deep voice without the slightest hesitation.

After a long time, Empress Wu waved his hand and said: "Okay, you stand down, what you say today, the palace will think about it, and in addition, go back and take a good look at the lord of Fuchang." ”

Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the book he had just handed over about the corruption of the officials of the family, bowed heavily and said: "The minister is not careful, please punish the queen of heaven." ”

"You Peng Wangfu, is there anything like that?" Empress Wu looked straight at Li Xuan and asked, "You said that you should govern the world and pay taxes and grains, but if you Peng Wangfu itself is not right......

"This is the martial law at the beginning of the founding of the country, and later the Zhenguan Tongdian and even the Yonghui law are all using this law."

Empress Wu is in charge of the world's money, these years the emperor for the Tubo war, the Turkic war, spent a lot, finally two years of peace, but the emperor wants to seal Chan Songshan.

"If the world is peaceful, the minister also agrees with the queen of heaven." Li Xuan gave up his hand seriously, but his expression was already firm: "If Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven want to completely stabilize the Western Xinjiang, many things must be prepared here, is this money and food still paid by the household department?"

Impeachment of King Peng's Eight Deadly Sins?

Abusing the scholars, treating the people harshly, supporting the army and respecting themselves, bullying the prince, creating unjust cases, colluding with the imperial history, unauthorized use of soldiers and horses, bad intentions, and eight deadly crimes.

After a little groaning, Empress Wu said: "To punish crimes, you must first convict, the clan and the family have authority to dominate them, what should you do if you encounter this?" ”

"The laws of the court and China might as well be stricter, and those guilty officials, pick some and exile them to Persia." Li Xuan said lightly, and some of the people in the hall were already cold in the back of their heads.

Although the money in the world is in the hands of the Empress Wu, the more this money is used, the more it is not banned, and the cost is getting bigger and bigger.

Datang has great omissions in the household department, civil registration, and field statistics, but fortunately, the tax payment will be less and less in the future.

Li Xuan bowed slightly: "The queen of heaven, the minister always feels that the number of people admitted to the imperial examination over the years is too small, and now that the Tibetan Turks have been pacified, the Western Regions will also be expanded, and the lack of officials can also be transferred from the court, in addition, there is also the restoration of Persia." ”

Li Xuan was a little confused, what was going on, how could someone impeach him like this?

Abusing the Shi clan, supporting the army and respecting himself, colluding with the imperial history, bad intentions, the four major crimes, to be honest, he has it.

Empress Wu nodded subconsciously, then looked up at Li Xuan, and said with a smile: "This strategy is not bad, but the palace almost forgot, and you also proposed the matter of cleaning up the hidden field in the first place." ”

Now that Li Xuan has pointed out a way to make a fortune for her, Empress Wu still has some thoughts in her heart.

Li Xuan raised his head and saw the scrutinizing gaze of the Empress Wu at a glance.

"This is the official of the family who was greedy for ink and taxation as you just mentioned." Empress Wu couldn't help but shake her head, picked up the bullet seal on the table, and threw it directly to Li Xuan: "Look at it, no wonder people hate you so much, it turns out that they have already seen through you." ”

……

"Not bad." Empress Wu nodded with satisfaction, Li Xuan was a smart person, and he still understood the meaning of her words.

"You want to send people to the west of the Western Turks to create a momentum and threaten the Western Turks?" Empress Wu looked at Li Xuan a little suddenly.

If the emperor does not allow it, he will still be beheaded, and the emperor will allow it to be exiled for thousands of miles.

When it comes to the household, it has poked at her weakness.

"Tang Law: Every year to make an account, every three years to make a household registration. Counties become states by nationality, and states become provinces. Empress Wu looked straight at Li Xuan and said, "This is the dynasty system." ”

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, raised her hand to take the notebook, and looked down to see that the name on the cover had been directly erased, but the content was clearly visible.

But he did not have the four major sins of treating the people harshly, deceiving the prince, creating unjust cases, and using soldiers and horses without permission.

But it is impossible to deny that Li Xian, with the support of Li Xuan, is the most threatening to the Empress Wu.

Li Xuan bowed seriously, to be honest, he really didn't look down on the little money in the field, if it was to train people, the field in his own hands would also be handed over.

"There is no doubt that the world is greedy, but what if the action is too fierce and triggers a backlash?" Empress Wu looked straight at Li Xuan, with a special meaning in her eyes.

"Back to the queen of heaven, this matter, last year, after serving the imperial history Li Zhaode Wangfu Changshi, the minister and the long history of the investigation once, fortunately, the minister has always acted cautiously, so there is no obstacle at home."

"Listen to the instructions of the Queen of Heaven...... Li Xuan's forehead was directly attached to the floor of the Qianyuan Palace, and the feeling of coldness instantly invaded his mind.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the purpose of creating a household registration every three years was to treat the people with leniency.

And he also made the right choice, at least the most correct one among the choices given by the Empress Wu.

Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the Empress Wu and said: "The Queen of Heaven can know that when Di Huaiying was the head of Dali Temple, dozens of criminal cases were sentenced every day, and a total of 17,000 cases were solved in a year, and no one was dissatisfied. ”

"Queen of Heaven, didn't you say that it was the wine of the country?"

Empress Wu fell completely silent.

This strategy is not new, the Tang Dynasty has helped Persia recover over the years, and it has also been more than once, and this is the purpose.

……

The only thing that can be confirmed is that he treated the officials of Fanzhou Prefecture harshly in Fanzhou.

The final right to punish the crime was not in the hands of Li Xuan, but in the hands of the emperor.

Li Xuan bowed and said: ""Xunzi Gentleman" has a saying, there is a difference between relatives and relatives, and there is a division between inside and outside, you can govern the country, you can be a politician, you can be a relative of the clan, the foundation of the court, the family, the wrist of the court, if the wrist is disobedient, just take a beating." ”

Empress Wu glanced at Li Xuan angrily, and returned a slippery head.

These eight types of people, below the crime of "flow", will be reduced by one degree; The ten heinous crimes were personally executed by the emperor.

Empress Wu was stunned suddenly, and her face was slightly ugly.

And these things fell into the eyes of Empress Wu, what would she think, and what was Li Xuan's purpose in doing this?

……

Di Renjie is counted as one, and the other is Hai Rui.

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said: "Although there is no registration, the tax has been collected, and although the tax has been collected, it has not been registered in the household department. ”

Let you serve in the East Palace, this is the meaning of Your Majesty and the Palace, and you don't spend a long time in the court every year, and teaching the prince is also a virtuous and righteous way, that is, all the prime ministers are full of praise, but ......"

Empress Wu looked at Li Xuan and asked, "King Peng, this palace will ask you another question." ”

"Huh!" Empress Wu smiled coldly, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you don't have to make such a gesture."

The important ministers and lords in the court all have the system of "eight discussions" of merit, family, reason, virtue, ability, noble, diligence, and guests.

Empress Wu's voice was not heavy, but Li Xuan's back was directly wet for a moment.

At this moment, I finally understood what Empress Wu was thinking, Empress Wu was actually jealous of the relationship between Li Xuan and the crown prince.

"In the past, the DPRK and China used to revise the white and yellow books every three years, but now mention it and change it to two years." Li Xuan looked at the Empress Wu and arched his hand: "You don't need to do anything else, you don't need to send someone to investigate, you only need to compile and revise the map of the world according to the white and yellow books that are repaired every two years. ”

Indeed, cleaning up the hidden field was also proposed by Li Xuan back then, and now he has made up for it on the basis of cleaning up the hidden field.

Li Xuan bowed slightly and said, "The Queen of Heaven, the minister was also fighting for Tubo at that time...... But the number of hidden fields in the world has far exceeded the expectations of the ministers. ”

There really is nothing to hesitate about.

Empress Wu raised her eyebrows, then nodded slowly, and said: "The humble and virtuous, the upper and lower are orderly, the noble and the poor are helped, and the rich are helped by the poor, there is indeed a way." ”

Li Xuan hurriedly looked down, and then raised his eyebrows, almost all of the charges in this were specious inferences.

"The queen of heaven, what the minister just said is not a hidden field, they are just that the local government has not had time to register and make a register."

"How do you collect this money?" Empress Wu raised her head and stared straight at Li Xuan.

"Then in your opinion, the family and the clan, where do you plan to check first?" Empress Wu asked seemingly casually.

Empress Wu waved her hand and said: "This palace has seen these eight major sins, and only one of them is true to deceive the prince." ”

Empress Wu nodded and said: "In this world, the greed for money and greed, not only the wealthy family, but also the children of the clan, is also a great harm, if the clan commits a crime and commits it in your hands, what should you do?" ”

"But this palace wants him to be the secretary of Sinong Temple, and then transfer some of the functions and powers of the household department to Sinong Temple." Empress Wu's eyes narrowed.

"The queen of heaven, this has gone beyond the ...... Sinong Temple"
