Li Ke looked at them, then stood up straight, and then bowed to everyone and said, "What I want to say next may not be sorry for your uncles and aunts, but I have to say this, and I have to do this." ”

Li Yuanchang and the others were a little stunned, but the previous words came out, and they naturally wouldn't regret it at this time, besides, didn't they listen to Li Ke? He has to do this, whether he listens to the other party or not, he has to do it, then he must listen.

"Throughout my Chinese history, from the recorded Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, all the way to today's Tang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty's princely feudal system, which led to the 549-year Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then Qin Shi Huang unified China, and finally the Han Dynasty 400 years of Guozuo, all the way to the Tang Dynasty, all dynasties, there is a problem, that is, the national power consumed by the clan."

"All uncles and aunts are knowledgeable people, and they should know very well that according to the system of the clan, in another one or two hundred years in the Tang Dynasty, the population of the clan will be large, and such a large clan population will inevitably put a huge burden on the imperial court, and this burden will affect the national strength of the entire Tang Dynasty."

"And when the time comes, once the imperial court can not afford such a large number of clan population, the treatment of the clan will inevitably fall sharply, and the consequences of the sharp decline, these clans will wake up from the glory and wealth they enjoyed in the past, and they will inevitably be unable to accept this gap, the so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift."

"At this time, there will be people who will take risks."

"It's like your uncles and aunts still have the bearing and majesty of the Tang Dynasty royal family at this time, but in the middle and late dynasties, the children of the clan who have long been corrupted by enjoyment no longer have this kind of bearing, they don't care about these at all, they only care about enjoyment."

"If you can't keep up with the enjoyment, some people will have crooked thoughts, and at this time, the world will inevitably be in chaos because of these people."

"These things, the past history has told us, so, if we want to become a more long-term dynasty in Datang, if we want to completely change this situation, your uncles and aunts want to become the most glorious generation of clan members in history, and the reform of the clan must be done."

"Uncles and aunts must not want their descendants to be so corrupt."

Li Ke said as he looked at everyone's expressions. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't mention your aunts here, because after the aunts get married, their descendants are not considered clans.

But since there are people, it is natural to have a bowl of water.

"I don't know how Saburo wants to reform?" Li Yuanchang opened his mouth and asked, everyone was not in a hurry to express their position, they all wanted to see what Li Ke thought.

"Uncles and aunts, as juniors, I ask you a word, my father and the emperor have given you a lot of food households, but the amount of money per year is actually not so much, but your children will definitely not be able to completely inherit your titles and the number of food households in the future, you may understand?" Li Ke did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Understood." Everyone nodded, isn't that normal? They and Li Shimin are half-brothers, but their children and Li Ke and Li Chengqian, this is already two generations apart, and the reward is naturally not so high.

"So in the case of this kind of reduction, in fact, the amount of money for the number of households in the food area every year, if you think about it, it's actually not much, am I right?" Li Ke asked.

"Yes."

"Well, uncles and aunts, you don't want your descendants to become waste clans like other dynasties, do you?" What Li Ke said is called straightforward.

"Naturally, I don't want to." This is a very simple answer for everyone, who wants their descendants to be waste?

"That San Lang can say it bluntly, I said before that the Datang Sleepless City was actually established for our clan, and it is here that I will allocate some shops and shops to all the current clans, and the money that these shops receive every year must be several times the amount of money you receive from the number of households. Therefore, the number of food in the clan will be canceled. and turned to the establishment of the Tang Royal Fund. “

Li Ke said.

Everyone looked at each other, they naturally had no opinion, the number of households in the food area is an imaginary number in Datang, and it is also directly converted, and it is not for the population or land. Now that he has become a promising molecule, in fact, there is no difference, there is more money, who will refuse?

"Second, cancel all the rewards such as fiefs in the clan in the future, and start the internal assessment system of the clan."

"What does this mean?" Li Yuanchang: They didn't quite understand.

"It's very simple, it's the imperial examination within the clan." Li Ke said lightly. "In the future, the children of your uncles will study hard from an early age, and there will be no rewards before they become adults, but only a pocket money will be given every year by the education fund of the Tang royal family, which is not much, enough for normal expenses. But when you reach adulthood, you will participate in the adult assessment. This fund can be called a business house. ”

"The adult assessment will be very strict, divided into different levels, if he is the best in learning and other aspects, and can even make his own research, then he will not only get an honorary title, but also give a lot of rewards in the royal family! These rewards can be used to do whatever he wants. ”

"But everyone who gets a reward has an obligation, as a royal person, if he is an adult, he must contribute his own strength to the royal fund and replenish the funds he has spent, I believe that as a capable member of the royal family, no one will refuse this."

"In short, let all our children and grandchildren roll up first, we will provide them with the best education, the best practical opportunities, but they also have to return their ingenuity and prove that they are the best royals, the better the people, the more resources will be tilted. If you don't want to study, you just want to eat and wait for death, then you can only be an ordinary person who has no worries about food and clothing. ”

"This is the general framework, and the details will be further improved."

"All in all, they are raised with the best education and either get ahead on their own or accept mediocrity. Of course, if you leave enough property for your descendants, then the royal family doesn't care, it's your own business. ”

Li Ke said lightly, all Li Ke's uncles were stunned, they naturally understood, and it was precisely because they understood that they knew how ruthless Li Ke's move was.

But in addition to being ruthless, they were a little moved. In the matter of future generations learning, since ancient times, the Chinese have almost been engraved in their bones, and the royal family members are naturally no exception, and some waste descendants, they actually do not want it.

Li You, Li Yun, Li Zhen, and Li Shen next to him are all stupid, so, third brother, is this the reason why Li Zhi has to do so many sets of test papers every month?
