Chapter 29: The Emperor of the Sky

Feng Changqing also did not mention the existence of Lu Tianshi to the khans, kings, and princes of Anxi, because at the level of him and Li Siye, he could already touch the core of the power vortex.

Imperial power is self-serving, and no challenge is allowed.

However, the appearance of Lu Tianshi has already threatened the imperial power of the saint, and there must be a conflict between the two.

Therefore, until the saint and Lu Tianshi have had substantive contact and have not reached a mutually acceptable model of power distribution, as a human minister, they cannot show any inclinations.

Thinking of this, Feng Changqing's face showed a faint melancholy.

The existence of this Lu Tianshi is already a certainty, there is no doubt.

This is something that has never been done before, and it has never been recorded in the annals.

So how to get along with this Lu Tianshi is extremely difficult to think about.

You can't treat Lu Tianshi slowly, but you can't blindly obey him.

I'm afraid it's hard to grasp the degree in the middle, and I'm worried.

……

Feng Changqing was worried about how to get along with Lu Tianshi.

Lu Xiaoning is also worried about positioning.

He didn't really want to think about it too soon.

But Wang Chang's greed made Lu Xiaoning realize that this problem was imminent.

Datang is the world of the family, the world of the Li Tang royal family, or the world of Li Longji, so if you want to help Datang continue its glory, you must solve the core problem of power distribution.

It is impossible for Li Longji to give up the power in his hands.

Lu Xiaoning found a friend who often played games together.

Xingzhi lay people met Lu Xiaoning when he was playing games, and he had a lot of research on the political economy of the Tang Dynasty.

Lu Xiaoning: "Layman, let me ask you a question, if, I mean if, if I travel to the Tang Dynasty, what should I do to continue the glory of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Xingzhi layman: "Do you want to renew the life of the Tang Dynasty, or do you want to continue the glory of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Lu Xiaoning: "I want them all, I want to renew the life of the Tang Dynasty, and I also want to continue the glory of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Xingzhi layman: "It is still possible to renew the life of the Tang Dynasty, but it is almost impossible to continue the glory of the Tang Dynasty, because in the late Xuanzong Dynasty, the Tang Empire has long been ill and difficult to return." ”

Lu Xiaoning: "Not really, right?" The Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline because of the Anshi Rebellion, as long as the Anshi Rebellion was stopped, wouldn't it be possible to continue the glory of the Tang Dynasty? ”

Xingzhi layman: "It's simple to think about it, the Anshi Rebellion is just the inducement for the Tang Dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline." ”

Lu Xiaoning: "You mean, there are deeper reasons for the Tang Dynasty's transformation from prosperity to decline?" ”

Xingzhi layman: "Of course, there are two fundamental factors that really led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty, one is the financial problem, to put it simply, the imperial court has no money, it can't pay the recruits, and it can't give the rewards of the soldiers of the feudal town, and the honorary title can only stabilize these martial artists who lick the blood with their heads for a while, but it is impossible to deceive the first generation, so even if there is no An Lushan, there will be Zhao Lushan, Qian Lushan, Sun Lushan, and a lot of Lushan. ”

Lu Xiaoning: "Is Datang's financial problem really unsolvable?" ”

Xingzhi layman: "Yes, there is basically no solution, because the financial problems of the Tang Dynasty are deeply tied to the corruption of officials. ”

Lu Xiaoning: "Didn't Tang Suzong make a two-tax law?" ”

Xingzhi layman: "It's just a pastemaker, but it is just a continuation of the national honor for a hundred years." ”

Lu Xiaoning: "Can you make another similar one?" Like a whip? ”

Xingzhi layman: "It's still just a pastemaker, and if it is framed, it will continue for another fifty years, and if it is not mounted, it will die immediately." ”

Lu Xiaoning: "Can't we really find a fundamental solution to Datang's financial problems?" ”

Xingzhi layman: "The fundamental problem of the Tang Dynasty's finance is land annexation, in fact, Wu Zetian has solved this problem to a certain extent, and violently attacked the land annexation of the Shandong group and the Guanlong aristocracy, but unfortunately the gourd was pressed and the scoop was lifted, and the family gate valve that had been suppressed before was revived, and it was deeply tied to the new imperial examination scholar group, Li Longji seemed to be doing a good job in civil and martial arts, but in fact, he just picked the peaches planted by Wu Zetian, and he failed to solve the problem of the Xinshi clan group's large-scale annexation of land until his death. His son Li Xiang also failed to solve it, but he just made a two-tax law, and reluctantly pulled out the two jujubes from the mouth of the Xinshi group, which also allowed Datang to continue its national glory for another hundred years. ”

Lu Xiaoning: "If you say so, it seems that there is really no way." ”

Xingzhi layman: "In fact, there are still ways, and there are two ways, one is the agrarian revolution, the land of the whole country is divided according to the capitation, so that there is no fear of tax exhaustion, and the financial problem will be completely solved, but in this way, the Tang Dynasty will no longer be the Tang Dynasty of the Li family, but the Tang Dynasty of the people, so the Li Tang royal family will definitely not agree; The second is to divide the land into the mu, no matter whose land it is, it will pay taxes according to the regulations, which can also solve the problem of financial scarcity to a large extent, but in this way, the Li Tang court has become the public enemy of the family, and it will change to another family in minutes. ”

Lu Xiaoning: "In addition to financial problems, what is another fundamental factor? ”

Xingzhi layman: "There is also a fundamental factor is the class solidification, that is, the ascending channel of the Hanmen Shu clan has been blocked by the stitching monster between the Xinshi group and the family gate valve, Li Baicai Gao Badou can't even get the qualification to participate in the imperial examination, Huang Chao has participated in the imperial examination several times, but the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty is a formality, and it is impossible for a Hanmen disciple like Huang Chao to be Chinese, and the children of the Hanmen Shu clan have no stage, they can only smash the old platform, so Huang Chao will be angry and rebel, And after the army, his favorite thing to do is to kill officials and kill the children of the family gatekeepers, most of the twenty-eight top gatekeepers were killed by him, and the remaining half was killed by Zhu Wen. ”

Lu Xiaoning: "Is the problem really so serious? ”

Xingzhi Jushi: "In the later period of the Xuanzong Dynasty, the finances of the Tang Dynasty tended to collapse and could not afford the huge military expenditures, so they could only release the monster of the feudal town; Then the ascending channel of the Hanmen Shu clan was completely locked, and a large number of capable and world-minded Hanmen disciples could not get the stage to display their ambitions, so they could only succumb to the feudal town, so it caused a good situation in An Lushan to have talents, soldiers and soldiers, and money, otherwise he would rebel. ”

Lu Xiaoning: "In other words, the glory of the Tang Dynasty is completely unable to continue, right?" ”

Xingzhi layman: "That's not either, it still depends on the identity of the person you are withdrawing, if it is a minor official below the fifth grade, then don't think about anything, seize the time to enjoy the good days of the last few years of the Tang Dynasty, if that person is a big official above the third grade, then quickly find a way to go out and be a festival envoy." ”

Lu Xiaoning: "Is there a way to make it a festival?" ”

Xingzhi Layman: "When you become a festival, you will have the opportunity to carry out the apportionment into the mu, or the direct agrarian revolution, and distribute the land in the feudal town to the people, you will gain the support of millions or even tens of millions of people, and it is not difficult to recruit a group of poor people, and create an iron army that is brave and good at fighting and has strict military discipline." ”

Lu Xiaoning: "You mean to mobilize the masses to make a revolution?" Wouldn't it be too far ahead? ”

Xingzhi layman: "What is beyond the past, since the slave society, class contradictions have always existed, and the class contradictions in ancient times were even more acute than in modern times, in modern times it was possible to mobilize the masses to make revolutions, and in ancient times there was no problem, the key is to look at the guiding ideology and the building of the cadre ranks, and also, do not underestimate the ideological consciousness of the poor in ancient times. ”

Lu Xiaoning: "But isn't this a rebellion?" Even if the rebellion succeeds, the world will be destroyed. ”

Xingzhi layman: "Then master a good degree, don't overstimulate Li Longji first, wait until An Lushan rebels, your good opportunity will come, because you have a brave and warlike heavy army in your hand, you can put down the rebellion for Li Tang, Li Longji and Li Xiang's father and son have a request from you, you can only tolerate what you do in the feudal town, then you can implement the land into the mu in a big way, or simply roll out the land revolution in an all-round way." ”

Lu Xiaoning: "And then?" Isn't it still going to rebel? ”

Xingzhi layman: "You can not rebel, and still let Li Tang's descendants be emperors." ”

Lu Xiaoning: "But is it right to override Emperor Li Tang?" When a mascot? ”
