Chapter 481: Dreams on Heaven and Earth (Five)

After talking about the country's need to have a goal, after raising talents, Li Wei said again: "My Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, including Shandong, Henan, Guanzhong, Jiangzhuan, and Fanhu territory, and other Fanhu territory such as the Turks in the Western Regions. The larger the territory, the more difficult it is to govern. Especially the customs and habits of the French, Hu people, and the people in the Central Plains. I have been to Nanzhao and Qinghai. I have also been to Dongnu Qiang, Tubo because of my escape. Duomei and Supi. I have seen many. How the Hu people and the French people treat the country, the policies have been unclear. Only when farmers work hard can they get rewards, and only when craftsmen work hard can they get paid, and they will have to pay for their work. Therefore, I think, if they don't treat people with sincerity, how can people treat me sincerely? When I read the answers between Emperor Wen of Han and Wei Tuo in the past, I burst into tears (why aren't these two articles included ancient texts?). If Emperor Wen of Han treated the barbarians with sincerity, how could the Han Dynasty be pacified?"

Almost no one here hasn't read these two articles.

"The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, and the population occupied by Hufan Yi is very large. Only when Hufan surrenders can the country be pacified. If the court despises him, how can Hufan surrender? Therefore, I said in Qinghai that as long as we are loyal to our Tang Dynasty, the Han and Hu family, how can we distinguish each other? His wife is my wife, and his relatives and friends are my relatives and friends. Our dynasty treats him with sincerity. If he does not obey him, the king's army will attack him, and he is also a righteous army. What do you think of all the ministers?"

This is another major issue of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty had a large border, which had never been seen since ancient times. However, there were Nanzhao in the southwest, and there were also many barbarians in Lingnan, and even more chaotic in Liaodong, including *** people, Mohe people, Khitan people. Not to mention Mobei, there were Tiel people, Turks, and people with bones, all of them were spread. There were also Turks, the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and other tribes in the Western Regions. They rebelled and returned at the time. To put it bluntly, they became a chicken band in the Tang Dynasty. It was tasteless to eat, but it was a pity to throw it away. The court used the method of restraint to manage it, but the results were not very good.

This is not what Li Wei hoped.

This discussion is very important, but I certainly don’t expect any clear solution, and everyone buzzes again.

Li Wei took the initiative to say: "I still have some ideas. It's not too late today, so I won't discuss it for now. I will think about it carefully and discuss it later."

They all deserve to be praised together, but there are some Hu ministers and foreign generals among them, and their eyes flashed and they were so excited.

Li Zhi's eyes were not very good, but Wu Zetian's eyes were very sharp and frowned. Just to win people's hearts, this son was not much less than himself. She was thinking about power, but Li Wei thought about the country. Whether it was successful or not, after this sentence was passed on, it would have an incomparable effect on the stability of the country's borders.

A big move!

It was too early to get the price at this time, and there was not even time for the fine merchants. It shows how much things the emperor has to say?

Li Yiyan suddenly wiped his tears with his handkerchief, and Liu Rengui asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, what's wrong?"

"I am so happy. I wonder what my husband Dai and Mr. Zhang would feel when they see His Majesty's appearance today?"

Liu Rengui also sighed. He fought over and over again and became the prime minister. What else can he fight for? Isn’t it just to fight for a good emperor in the future of the Tang Dynasty? Finally, I hope it.

The two were filled with emotion.

Li Wei ignored them and continued to say: "When regarding how to govern the country, Emperor Taizong left behind 12 chapters of "Emperor Model", and the Supreme Emperor was fully implemented. I just went to the palace together with the Supreme Emperor and said something. Over the past decade, there have been so many natural disasters and the country is stable, and my sons have admired him for a long time."

Li Zhi smiled slightly. Although he was very unhappy, he still had a flattery.

Not only that, this sentence is also a vague position. Since you continue to praise yourself, you probably won’t do anything undesirable in the future.

"There are also the twelve words of the mother, which are also a move that hits the current drawbacks." In fact, the twelve words have not been implemented much, and no officials took them seriously. It was just that later martial artists tried their best to praise them. Most of them were suggestions, but Wu Zetian's move to win people's hearts. The contribution to the country was far less than that of Li Shimin's twelve words. But what should I do if my mother was happy? I have become emperors, and they are parents, and they cannot continue to be stalemate, so I have to warm up the cold relationship. I flatter them again.

Li Yiyan did not object. He also understood the holidays. Anyway, he became the emperor, and there was no need to fight anymore. More ministers breathed a sigh of relief. The prince intended to begged for justice and was actively repairing the relationship, and the country would probably not be in chaos anymore.

Wu Zetian thought to himself that this child was giving me candy again.

I don’t believe it very much. Over the years, I have been fed candy and used a knife. But on the day of ascending the throne, I am still very happy to hold myself up and smile on my lips.

"Emperor Taizong said to accept advice, the Emperor Taishang said to open up the road of speech, and the Queen Mother said to talk about the road of speech. Zhuge Liang, the wise prime minister of Shu Han, once said that it is not advisable to be self-deprecating or induce the meaning of being unrighteous, to block the road of loyal advice. Confucius asked Lao Tzu, saying that the three of them would have to be my teacher when they walked together. If the saints do this, do we dare to be arrogant?"

This is also his true words. In his previous life, he was a little lecturer, a little white-collar worker who earned three or four thousand oceans a month, and was still a very low-level white-collar worker. Now he has become an emperor all of a sudden. I think it is certain that that person doesn’t want to be an emperor? But he is still a little uneasy, so he also wants ministers to work together from the bottom of his heart. And he does this. In Qinghai, even if he has any ideas, he has sought opinions from various generals many times to make up for the missing.

But the minister doesn't think so.

"Okay, Your Majesty, you said it well." Li Yiyan made Li Wei's words boil and finally shouted out of control.

But no one said he.

Today, Li Wei ascended the throne, with a generous demeanor and reasonable and concise words. Although he didn't know what happened, the Emperor finally abdicated, he also showed some filial piety. As an emperor, he already had the aura of a virtuous emperor!

Li Wei suppressed his hands and asked the ministers to stop and flatter. He was about to ascend the throne these days and thought about a lot of things. Today, he simply said it all at once. There is still a lot of things to say. He didn't have time to listen to the ministers singing hymns. He also said: "What a person can see with his eyes, and what a person's ear can hear is ultimately limited. A person's wisdom is ultimately limited. Therefore, I would like to say something here, hoping that everyone will open up the channels for speech in the future. If it is me, or others, if there is anything wrong with doing, please give me advice. I will listen with politely."

As he said that, he stood up, bowed, and said sincerely: "Please."

Ne Jian is a cliché, but since ancient times, no emperor has had the sincere attitude of Li Wei. A word of advice and a bow made many ministers’ eyes moist.

Wu Zetian scratched Li Zhi's palm and said, "Your Majesty, Hong'er is better than you in the past."

“…”

This is the fourth thing, and the fifth thing is coming. Li Wei said again: "Emperor Yang used his arrogant and extravagant to ruin the country. The lesson of the past is not far away. The latter can be learned. Emperor Taizong said that he respected frugality, the emperor praised the world with frugality, and the queen said that he saved money and worked hard. It can be seen that the importance of frugality and saving for the country. A few days ago, Wei Hongji found me and called him wronged. I said something, although you have made merits, you can confuse your father, but your punishment is not. Therefore, from now on, I will give you an imperial edict, and do not build any

The palace, our dynasty has Tai Chi Palace, Daming Palace, the Imperial Palace and Shangyang Palace, as well as Jiucheng Palace in Qizhou, and the palaces in various places in Taiyuan. In addition, I will give you another imperial edict, Dongdu and Xijing, two Eastern Palaces, Dongdu and Xijing. All the maids over 35 years old, except for official positions, are not allowed to escape, and are released home for the reunion of their relatives. There are also various eunuchs, who should not add eunuchs in the palace when there is enough staff in the palace. After all, castration and loss of human ethics will harm the heavens."

He had no right to release the palace maids in the palace, and could only release the two palace maids in the East Palace. With this, he would release thousands of palace moths and go home to gather. Not only was he frugal, but he was also a good act.

He continued, "But ten years of trees and a hundred years of trees, today I can release palace moths. In a few decades, maybe in my later years, I may be greedy for pleasure and increase the number of palace maids in the palace. Please remember what I said today, the palace maids, eunuchs, and other expenses in the palace, if I have any extravagant actions, please write a letter to directly advise me and use my words to ridicule me, is it feasible?"

"Here!"

At this time, most of the ministers were almost convinced.

"There is another thing that I have never thought clearly. Please make it clear. Taizong said that rewards and punishments were made, and the queen said that she should stop slandering. It is okay to advise, but not to slander. Qin used violent laws to eliminate the country, and the Eastern Han Dynasty used laws to abolish the country. So Zhuge Liang refused to forgive him, and Wang killed Qiangde (Fu Jian's mother brother). Without rewards, he was enterprising, and without punishment, he was alert. Therefore, I wanted to re-enact the Tang law, using the Tang law as the basis for criminal prisons, rather than governing the law by people. He was also afraid of losing morality, indulging in the code, and losing the Confucian heart to promote love. What do you think?"

In fact, he was very worried that there would be controversy, so he pushed it to the ministers for a headache.

Another whisper of tricks, which was very good, but there were still concerns.

Li Wei didn't care and said the seventh thing, saying: "The Han Wu army was defeated and demoted Wu, and he regretted it even more in his later years. Emperor Taizong also issued an edict to blame himself for the two battles. In Qinghai, countless soldiers died. At least 200,000 families of Hu and Han were separated, their parents lost their beloved sons, and the country spent too much money. But what would happen if Qinghai did not fight? Tubo would inevitably end. In the future, he would embezzle Hehuang and then swallow Tao and Qinwei, which would be only a short distance from Xijing. The country would be in danger. Therefore, Emperor Taizong said that he would read martial arts and also said that he would be brave. This war is not only for administration, but also for military affairs. Without fighting, no training, no brave soldiers, no brave generals. But blindly expanding territory will also cause a lot of harm to the country and the people. Therefore, a balance is needed. I saw the situation in Qinghai, and the family members of the sacrificed soldiers, and my heart

Zhong has been thinking about how to balance it. If you have an immature idea, you can discuss whether it is appropriate. The country must not only be used to expand its territory, but also prevent changes from happening. Once there is a rebellion in the territorial land, or foreign tribes invade, there are generals available and soldiers to conquer. This requires training and actual combat training and generals. However, you cannot expand the territory excessively. For the territorial areas where disputes arise, you should actively distinguish the differences between disputes and rebellion, focus on mediation and reduce the number of wars, but you should also suppress the clans who clearly plan to rebel. The soldiers can be used for a thousand days, and you should not be unprepared for a day. Or I would like to say that the country should cultivate the army and practice the military and read the military, but it should reduce unnecessary wars. The mother and queen also said, stop the army and transform it with morality. Is the mother and queen the mother the mother the mother the mother the mother’s meaning?”

Turning his head and asking Wu Zetian behind the curtain.

In fact, Wu Zetian didn't understand military affairs. The silence of military force and moralization was simply a big talk. Peace between the two countries was fought, so what kind of morality was discussed? Just like the Americans later, why did so many countries flatter behind? It was precisely because of his fists that peace was the most important thing, so what was the most expensive! That was the saying that the incompetent people covered their own ugliness.

The article Li Wei said is a sublimated version of Li Shimin's martial arts reading. I wonder how many times better than Wu Zetian's silence of the army.

Wu Zetian smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right."

He said again: "Hong'er, wait a moment."

He whispered to Li Zhi Qiaoqiao, and then Li Zhi said, "Hong'er, what you said today is very beautiful, I am very happy."

"I don't dare to be anything."

"Don't be humble, right, I should praise you. If you are wrong, I will also criticize you."

"yes."

"Since you said that I appreciate your beauty today, all the maids in the palaces and teachers in the palaces everywhere, as well as internal and external teachers over 40 years old and have no jobs, will be released and reunited home."

Wu Zetian said, your son is doing good deeds, Your Majesty, you cannot let your son snatch the limelight. So Li Zhi immediately agreed.

This is another good policy. Once released, it is not a small number of people. At least a few thousand palace maids can go home and don’t have to die in the palace.

All the ministers praised the good.

Only Liu Rengui, Pei Xingjian and others had bright eyes. In fact, when it comes to puppets, the current Supreme Emperor is the real puppet. Fortunately, your Majesty ascended the throne in time, otherwise the court would really become the queen's world in the next few years.

After the ministers finished their hymns, Li Wei said again: "A few days ago, the Japanese envoys met me. Silla was disrespectful and the imperial court should not ignore them. I came up with an idea. There is a little controversy, but it can bring huge benefits to the country. However, time is limited today, and I have already talked with Liu Xianggong. Tomorrow, the ministers can discuss with Liu Xianggong to see if there are any areas that need to be supplemented, or any bad things, and write to the Supreme Emperor or to me."

Everyone was very suspicious and looked at Liu Rengui one by one.

But Li Wei did not give them time to think about it, and said the ninth thing: "I have an idea, not very clear. If a commoner is so hungry that he can't even eat food, and is so poor that he doesn't even wear a rough clothes that can keep the cold, will he abide by etiquette and benevolence?"

This question is abrupt and the ministers cannot speak.

He also said: "A few days ago, Hu Ying went to the West to send a mission to the West and brought back many envoys. My father gave him the title, and I heard a lot of discussion. But I agreed with it in my heart. Not only did I spread my Tang civilization from the far-flung world, but Hu Ying also brought back many useful things. For example, this."

He took out a handful of rye seeds and asked the eunuch to pass them to the ministers to watch.

Don't know each one.

Li Wei explained: "It is called rye, and its yield is very low. But it has many benefits. Planting Dahe and Jianghuai is not suitable, and it is not cost-effective for the people. It can be suitable for planting in high-altitude areas, and the soil requirements are also not high. For example, Dajishishan in Qinghai and Wangjianhe in Liaodong (Heilongjiang). The yield is low, but there is another advantage. Its wheat straw is first-class forage grass, and it can harvest nearly 50 stones of fresh grass, which is ten to twenty times the grass production of ordinary pastures."

All the ministers understood this explanation and whispered again.

But Li Wei was still not satisfied. He valued the most about corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. The popularization speed of the Ming Dynasty was slow, and it was only when the Qing Dynasty was truly popular, which allowed the Qing Dynasty to feed nearly 400 million people. This means that the dynasty was carrying trees and the Qing Dynasty was enjoying the cool air.

There are also rice from Liaodong that I have sent people to experiment quietly, but the rice did not grow, and the whole field of tares grew. It failed and I couldn't say anything when I pinched my nose. But he clearly remembered that the rice in Northeast China was very famous later. Therefore, I felt very confused when I got this result.

That is the black soil, Oceania and America, occupied too far, and the places under your nose are not well managed. How to manage such a distant place? I don’t know where to start, so I had to take a look step by step. Or I have a glimmer of hope to see if the cold-resistant seeds brought back from Europe will be suitable for planting.

He also said: "I also talk about one thing, the understanding of strange and ingenious skills. All craftsmen's things cannot be made of strange and ingenious skills, such as the improvement of water trucks and some efficient reels, which can save labor costs and are very helpful to the country and the people. For example, if there are not some new things, the two canals will not be constructed. Can you make a conclusion that the new things of the country and the people can no longer be given strange and ingenious skills?"

There was another wave of discussion.

"Hu Ying brought some books back from the barbarians, and many of them were about telling the principles of making these devices. I went to Sifang Pavilion a few days ago and asked the barbarians to translate them. But can it be promoted, please discuss how?"

This is to implement scientific theories in disguise in the future. But it cannot be said explicitly that all great scholars will try their best to oppose them.

After saying that, he said, and said, "The country's fields are always there, but the number of people is increasing. Therefore, I think we should broaden our thinking and improve yield and efficiency. This is also the true meaning of Emperor Taizong's saying that the foundation of farming and the Queen Mother said that the encouragement of agriculture and sericulture."

Wu Zetian was trapped in again. Even the ministers of Wu Zetian's faction were not very good at opposing this.

Wu Zetian was amused and cried, and said, "I will see me after going to court."

This little turtle is so hateful. I have to teach you a good lesson later.

"Yes." He agreed honestly and innocently.

Then the tenth thing said: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, our dynasty implemented the equal-field system. Why did this system be uneven in the rich and poor, polarization, and it is also unfavorable to national stability. Of course, it means that those who have strengths and weaknesses, those who are capable enjoy the same treatment as those who are unable, and those who are capable are reluctant. But if they pass, most people have no food to eat and no clothes to warm up, will they rise up? I have an immature idea, one is to promote some cold-resistant and drought-resistant food, and the other is to cultivate a large amount of land on the border. Two acres of land are used as a ranch and cannot feed a cattle.

Sheep, but two acres of land used as farmland, can support a strong man. The implementation of this policy also improved the life of Hufan, preventing them from pursuing wars and looting for poverty. At the same time, they can also move the people of the Central Plains to better implement the royalization. At the same time, the imperial court set aside a portion of funds every year and took the initiative to redeem a large number of troops. Although they were tenant farmers, they were also people of our Tang Dynasty. In ancient times, they knew that these slaves should also be treated well, and today, let them move to Qinghai and other places, which is also good for the country."

After hearing this, Pei Yan stood up and said, "Your Majesty is kind, but this year the national treasury has been tightened and cannot allocate large sums of funds."

"I have considered Pei Qing's advice for a long time. The humiliation of the Japanese envoy gave me an opportunity. This idea will be controversial. You can ask Mr. Liu tomorrow. But it can solve the tense situation of some treasury."

One by one, they looked at Liu Rengui, wondering what connection the treasury has with Japan. They will only spend more money on their behalf, so how could they make money?

But there are also some difficult things to redeem the division. The division is easy to use and can be implemented at the beginning, but later the division is tense. Will the wealthy families let go? However, the ministers knew this in their hearts, but they could not say it. The controversy was even greater.

"These are the ten things I said. Please see if it can be improved. In a few days, I will use edicts to issue them to the world. In addition, there are still many problems in our dynasty today. For example, the corruption of the government system. In this battle of Qinghai, the government soldiers could no longer draw enough government soldiers, so they had to recruit soldiers. Long ago, Xianggong Liu wrote a letter to inform him about this matter. And if there is any change, the recruitment speed of each government is very slow. If a permanent army is set up, the country's expenses will be very large. If only border soldiers are set up, it will reduce the national funding difficulties. If border soldiers are set up, the weight of the generals is thicker than the stem, which will inevitably lead to a separatist situation of vassal states. You can discuss this matter. Although it is not in a hurry, it will eventually need to be resolved."
To be continued...
