The weather in Chang'an is getting warmer, and Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, seems to have recovered from the sleepiness of winter, and his spirit seems to be much better than in the past.

On this day, in the study room of the reopened diligent government affairs building, Li Longji listened to the right minister Li Linfu's report on this year's government affairs arrangements.

To put it simply, it's two words: make money!

Why make money?

Because Datang's central finance has been unable to make ends meet, in the past few years, it has been tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, and it is necessary to increase "liquidity".

Li Linfu plans to continue to expand the collection of land taxes, and at the same time reduce or exempt rents in some disaster-stricken areas, continue to reduce taxes in kind and increase monetary taxes, and use silk as the equivalent to facilitate transportation.

Encourage the people to transport grain to designated places and sell it to the government at a high price, in exchange for silk silk to pay taxes.

In this way, the cost of government transportation can be reduced, and the inherent defects of the rent adjustment system itself can be alleviated to a certain extent.

To put it simply, it is the "ancestral law" of renting and adjusting, everyone knows that it is not easy to change if there is a problem, and Brother Ji is not willing to change it. Li Linfu's method is to simply not change it, and then use the method of reducing rents and increasing land taxes to increase market liquidity, so as to alleviate the "money shortage."

It is only an emergency measure, but fortunately, it has been used for nearly ten years, and both the government and the people are more accustomed to the routine of "exchanging land tax for rent", so it can ensure the stability of governance.

I used it last year, and I will continue to use it this year, and there will be no major incidents.

However, Li Linfu said the truth, but Brother Ji didn't seem to be listening at all, and his face was calm and a little distracted, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking.

"Brother, I've always had a wish." Li Longji suddenly spoke.

"What does the saint command?"

Li Linfu asked cautiously, his heart tightened. Every time Brother Ji says this, it often means that he is going to do something again.

"I want my portrait to hang in the Lingyan Pavilion."

Brother Ji said something that made Li Linfu feel explosive! After being the prime minister for so many years, I have never seen such an outrageous request!

This is even more outrageous than Brother Ji seizing Princess Shou Yang Yuhuan back then!

"Don't be a saint!"

Not only Li Linfu, but even Gao Lishi, who was beside Brother Ji, knelt directly, and the two of them bowed their heads to the ground and refused to get up.

The emperor wants to enter the Lingyan Pavilion, isn't this nonsense! That's for the courtiers!

How could the emperor surrender himself to the same status as his courtiers?

Moreover, since Taizong added Wei Zheng to the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion and became twenty-five people, this list has not changed! It hasn't changed in nearly seventy or eighty years!

Now Brother Ji, as the Son of Heaven, wants to add himself to the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion...... How do you look a little retarded!

However, such insults to Brother Ji, neither Li Linfu nor Gao Lishi dared to say it.

They had to fall on their knees.

"Gonu, Lux Lux, you misunderstood.

I just said that I would hang the portrait of me when I was not yet on the throne in the Lingyan Pavilion.

In order to show that when I was still the king of Bohai County, I set things right. ”

Li Longji touched his white beard, said with a smile, and stepped forward to help Li Linfu and Gao Lishi up.

Can you still play like this?

Gao Lishi didn't speak, he knew what Brother Ji thought, and no one could change it.

But Li Linfu has not yet recovered from his confusion.

Changing the number of heroes in Lingyan Pavilion is of great political significance, far from being limited to Ji Ge himself.

Letting Brother Ji enter the Lingyan Pavilion is just a ticket that is not a joke, maybe the next Son of Heaven will remove his portrait.

But what is at stake and intriguing is that Brother Ji's move will break a long-standing unspoken rule:

The number of heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion cannot be changed.

No one dared to step on this political red line before.

The "political correctness" in the Li and Tang clans of the past dynasties is that only Emperor Taizong, who has made the work of "opening up the territory and expanding the territory", can get the group of civil ministers and military generals under his command into the Lingyan Pavilion.

In other words, in the core of the spiritual world of the Li Tang clan, Tang Taizong is the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the change of Xuanwumen can be regarded as "setting things right".

Therefore, the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion are actually the "chaste archway" set up by Emperor Taizong in order to commend his "ministers from the dragon".

So there is this paradox:

If Emperor Taizong is the founder of the country, then what kind of thing is Tang Gaozu Li Yuan?

What kind of thing is it to follow Li Yuan to fight the world?

If Tang Taizong was not the founding king, then what was the hero of Lingyan Pavilion?

Why can it appear in the northeast corner of the side hall of the Taiji Hall in a grand manner?

This main axis is actually the core of the bloody succession to the throne of the Li Tang clan, and it is a political red line that cannot be easily touched.

Add small personnel to the Lingyan Pavilion, political correctness and its own legitimacy are a big matter!

If any emperor wants to "add people" to the Lingyan Pavilion, then he must have the merits of Emperor Taizong.

Otherwise, how dare you play like that!

If there is no such prerequisite, then even if the courtiers have already made great achievements, they are not qualified to enter the Lingyan Pavilion.

This is not a question of the size of the merit, but the result of different political dimensions.

When Wu Zetian was bloodily cleaning Li Tang's side branch, he didn't dare to open this opening. Once this opening is opened, what will happen later, it can be said that I dare not think about it, let alone say it.

"Saint, the portrait of the emperor has entered the Lingyan Pavilion, which has not been seen since the founding of the Tang Dynasty for more than 100 years.

Although the sage meant to say that he was the king of Bohai County back then, outsiders did not necessarily understand this, and I am afraid that there would be some criticism. ”

Li Linfu crossed his hands and saluted, and did not seem to agree with Brother Ji's opinion.

After all, Li Linfu was also a member of the Li Tang clan. Even if he flatters himself for glory on weekdays, he almost takes and asks for Brother Ji's requirements, and he can't blindly follow Brother Ji in matters related to his own legitimacy.

That's the foundation of life!

If it weren't for the Li Tang clan, Li Linfu would not be qualified to enter the office; If he can't be promoted, he can't be promoted, if he can't be promoted, he can't be the prime minister, and if he can't be the prime minister, then he has to go home and farm the fields now.

Is this a joke?

"Now my country is more than thousands of miles, and the Tang Dynasty is a country of heavenly treasures, all of which are my credits.

The courtiers who pioneered the country with me at the beginning, can I not give them an explanation?

I have made up my mind, and the king of Bohai County entered the Lingyan Pavilion as the twenty-sixth person.

The rest of the people, as well as Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Fang Youde, and you Li Linfu.

Tomorrow at the court meeting in Zichen Palace, discuss this matter, and Ge Nuling arranges for a person to write a book. ”

Li Longji didn't give Li Linfu a chance to refuse at all, and directly said it to death!

It's already here, and even Li Linfu himself is on the new list of Lingyan Pavilion, what else can he say!

Besides, don't be the prime minister.

"Do the holy man's command."

Li Linfu crossed his hands and saluted, and his inner feelings were so complicated that he couldn't express them, and bowed down and retreated.

On the train to Xiangyang, there is a small chapter at night, which is the mobile phone code.
