Yunyao proposed the idea of ​​deporting the prince for assessment. She spoke easily, but for the emperor, this was a big problem. After all, there was unprecedented, without any reference to experience, and no one knew what it would develop. Especially now, no one has solved the problem of aristocrats and tyrants in various places. Will the prince collude with the nobles from all over the country to form strength when he goes?

"Tell me why you have this kind of thought. Do you really just want to help the prince?" Li Shimin wanted to ask his daughter how she came up with this kind of thought.

"In fact, it is not only to help the prince, but also to have a little selfish desire, which is to hope to develop a backward region." "We have read Father and history books. The intrigue and confrontation are not only confrontation between the monarch and the ministers, but also confrontation in different regions. I think Father and the emperor know more about this than me."

Li Shimin nodded, and he naturally knew that even the Li family had developed from Taiyuan.

"Then there is a question, is it better for the monarch or the countryside?" Yunyao asked.

Li Shimin said: "Of course, cities are better, they can concentrate materials. When they are fighting, they can obtain supplies and cut off the other party's supplies. Although the countryside produces grain, the countryside is scattered and the army cannot provide enough supplies at all. Moreover, cities can also provide more soldiers and can easily form combat power." From a military perspective, he considered it, but it was easy to control the military and become an emperor. Li Shimin controlled the military and then successfully ascended the throne.

Yun Yao thought it was indeed the idea of ​​a monarch, but it was true. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the cities with the strongest control of the monarch were cities. By the time of the Song Dynasty, the cities developed to a new stage. It once made people think that the Song Dynasty had the budding of capitalism. Of course, the Song Dynasty and the budding of capitalism were completely different. Being rich and having big cities does not mean that they have the ability to upgrade their industries. The big cities of the Song Dynasty were already very complete, but the prosperity of big cities was based on the plunder of rural areas, so the Song Dynasty was also the dynasty with the most peasant uprisings.

At least until the Song Dynasty, there was no way for cities to feed back to the countryside. By the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had rebelled against urbanization and promulgated a fish scale book. In fact, household registration could not be moved at will, and people and wealth should be kept in place as much as possible, rather than flowing. Because once it moves, large urbanization is inevitable.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang's methods were very rough, because although the influx of talents and wealth could avoid large urbanization, it could not be used for the full use of things and was difficult to further develop. Zhu Yuanzhang was for social stability. After all, although the Song Dynasty had a stable city, there were constant rural uprisings, which was not what he hoped.

Although the cities of the Tang Dynasty were not as exaggerated as those of the Song Dynasty, the problem already existed.

Some people may ask why there was no before the Tang Dynasty, because the land in various places belonged to the nobles, and the nobles would not leave the land. But after the emergence of the scholar class, their mobility was far higher than that of the nobles. Why did there have so many poems about demoting officials in the Tang and Song dynasties? Isn’t it because the scholars began to move?

These scholars left behind various famous lines of complaint and became texts that later generations must recite and write, but behind them represents the beginning of an era.

Talents and wealth flowed on a large scale, unlike the aristocrats who stayed on the fiefdom to work, and they had to find ways to bring the benefits back to the fiefdom, because a strong fiefdom is the most beneficial choice for the nobles. The nobles would think about making themselves stronger, and land was their foundation. Although they would not give the benefits to the farmers, they would find ways to build infrastructure on the fiefdom.

In the era of scholars, scholars could migrate with wealth in various ways, so they would definitely choose the best places to gather, and cities would definitely be the first choice. The emperor was happy to see the city grow bigger. After all, the emperor had the strongest control over the city. The bigger the city, the stronger the emperor's strength.

When the fish scale book was opened in the Ming Dynasty, everyone should stop moving casually. The big urbanization will naturally be blocked. Then the development of various second- and third-tier cities will be the result of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, there is some reason why Yunyao proposed that the prince went to the county, that is, to avoid the transformation of the Tang and Song dynasties, and to divert urban resources to backward areas and develop backward areas.

"Of course, big cities are good, but big cities keep absorbing rural wealth. The countryside is getting poorer and poorer, and they will naturally rebel. So I hope to take advantage of the opportunity of assessing the prince to send my brothers and younger brothers to those backward areas, find ways to develop, so that the talents and funds in the city can be returned to the countryside for construction, and truly achieve balanced development."

This is his daughter, and she always thinks about problems without any loss. Li Shimin never thought about developing a countryside. In his opinion, it was enough to have fields, but he forgot that everyone has a rising heart.

"This time I went on a trip, I looked at the development level of various places, examined the local prices, wages, infrastructure, water conservancy, harvests, specialties and other conditions, and found that backward areas could not even be full, while developed areas had begun to create wonders. So I wanted to make some changes."

"Isn't it okay to reduce taxes?" Li Shimin said there is an easier way.

"Tax reduction and treatment of symptoms but not root causes. What the countryside needs is development opportunities and better infrastructure. Tax reduction alone cannot achieve the goal." Yun Yao said: "With the progress of technology, more and more scholars will be. These scholars are different from nobles, and they can move. Nobles and aristocrats have money to go back to improve the power of their land. But scholars have no land, they only have knowledge, and they will choose to live in cities, so the city will become larger and larger, and wealth will not be able to flow back to various places, which will inevitably lead to peasant uprisings in various places. So we have to consider it." Yun Yao said seriously.

It is not possible to not move, nor to be too mobile. Laojun is right. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food, and it is a subtle heat. Therefore, you must have a plan and be able to control it in time. When problems and contradictions break out, you can only wait for the dynasty to change. When you are terminally ill, the gods and immortals cannot unite all interest groups.

Therefore, in history, it was basically the problems of the previous dynasty, and were solved by the later dynasties. The Tang Dynasty was destroyed by foreign relatives and foreign ministers, and the Song Dynasty proposed the division of military, politics and finance. The Song Dynasty was instability due to the large urbanization, and the fish scale book appeared in the Ming Dynasty. But now that Yun Yao has traveled through time, she naturally has to be far-sighted, see future problems, and prevent problems before they happen.

Li Shimin needed to consider more details, so he summoned the ministers to discuss and sent people to various places to inspect to see if the problem was as serious as his daughter said. Is there a huge gap between developed and backward areas?

Even if Li Shimin agrees with Yunyao's proposal, he needs to get enough support to do it. After all, this is an unprecedented way.

"Mr. Prince Consort, your chance to keep your name in history is here. Now you write a memorial to these ideas of mine, and history will remember your contributions." Yun Yao expressed that although the idea was made by her, she did not mind giving the contributions to the female prince consort. Once the policy of the prince going to the county is implemented, no matter whether it is good or bad, the female prince consort will definitely be able to leave a reputation in history.
