Chapter 644 Support and Opposition
Using the prince’s money to develop the countryside? The emperor said that it is still very attractive in terms of ideas. After all, the prince spends money to weaken them. Moreover, if the countryside is well built and national strength is enhanced, the emperor can make a profit.
However, *** is afraid that they will not accept such a proposal because it will affect their interests. It will be difficult to collect the money from the countryside to the city and then take it back, because every penny has its use and has its master. Therefore, taking the prince as the guide is indeed a solution, but there are also resistance.
But the prince himself was willing. He believed that as long as he did this, he would be safe and he could also get the support of the emperor. This is the best of both worlds. Anyway, the prince did not think he would lose money, and he could definitely manage the county with great success.
This is not an easy task. After all, it is only the Tang Dynasty now, and it lacks necessary technology and has too few rural resources. Apart from developing agriculture, it is impossible to come up with any tricks.
Moreover, although building bridges and roads is beneficial, it will not be rewarded in a short period of time. Unlike in the future, we can also engage in tourism, green fruits and vegetables, and even shoot short videos, we can quickly connect the countryside and the city through the Internet and logistics.
The Tang Dynasty could not develop these things, otherwise there would be no extreme situation like the Song Dynasty. The urbanization of the Song Dynasty was an unprecedented exaggeration, and even became a problem of three redundant problems in the end.
However, if the princes are selected as the leader, it would be fine if the princes spend money to buy fame and spend money without asking for rewards. However, Yunyao was worried that the prince would collude with merchants. After all, the prince did not have that much money, so he could only cooperate with merchants. Merchants spent money to help the prince accumulate achievements. Then the prince would repay the merchants.
If you play like this, it's a bit like an election.
However, Yunyao felt that the princes in the Central Plains should not be as good as politicians. After all, the education they received involves many economic issues, and they should know that they would cause no matter what the consequences would be.
Instead of making a profit, the position of the prince is the goal. In that way, even if you lose money, the prince will definitely spend money. If you just keep redirecting, you won’t know what will happen in the end.
This is just like filial piety and honesty. In the Han Dynasty, the system was originally good, and choosing filial sons to be an official was considered a morally oriented good thing. But later it became more and more exaggerated. Half of the Han Dynasty's "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" were no longer normal filial piety, but show.
Many filial sons can do ordinary level of filial piety. How outstanding and how to stand out? It must be exaggerated. How to exaggerate, how to exaggerate? In the end, it is no longer a choice of filial son, it is simply a choice of a bian state.
If the position of the prince is the forefront, the princes may do some serious things at the beginning, and they will definitely show their operations in order to stand out later. Yun Yao can foresee chaos, but even she cannot foresee any specific operation, because there is no limit to human imagination, and there is no limit to human lower limit.
Anyway, Yun Yao can foresee a good thing, which will definitely turn into chaos in the end. So if you want to change, you need solutions. Even if an idea is good at the beginning, it will be distorted later.
The court was very intense because in the past, either the brothers were killed or the father was killed or the son was born. Now, there is an assessment, which is unprecedented.
Many ministers opposed it because it was not in line with the rule of inaction. It was a good idea to let a prince become an official, but the prince might not have the ability to be an official. Being an official is different from being an emperor. What if the prince is not suitable for being an official but is suitable for being an emperor?
Besides, if the future emperor is really familiar with the messy things in the officialdom, wouldn’t these officials be controlled by the emperor?
Besides, the emperor in the future is already very noble. If you use resources to buy a good reputation, then the officials will definitely not be able to compare with the prince. If the prince alone increases everyone's expectations for officials in the world, wouldn't it be difficult to be an official in the Tang Dynasty?
Of course, there are also those who agree, believing that choosing a talented person as the crown prince from a capable prince is unprecedented and very meaningful. You can try it.
There are a thousand reasons for supporting and a thousand reasons for opposing. This kind of thing needs to be implemented to find out the result.
Considering the father-son relationship, in order to avoid the Xuanwu Gate Incident again, Li Shimin decided to promote the policy of Prince going to the county, allowing Prince going to the county to develop local areas, and at the same time slowing down the occurrence of large urbanization.
However, it still requires the support of all officials, so debates must be held. From the court to the newspaper, and finally to the people, even the Tang envoys began to discuss enthusiastically.
Even the princesses began to discuss in a lively manner that the women in the Tang Dynasty were not as interested in government affairs as men. Yun Yao read all kinds of opinions, and they made a lot of sense.
"I originally just hoped to solve the prince's troubles, but now it has become a topic of the whole nation, which is interesting." Yun Yao was watching the fun without bothering.
"It was clearly your suggestion, why are you not in a hurry? Because of you, I have been targeted by others. Some people say I am a treacherous minister, and some people say I am a wise minister. I don't know how to deal with the ministers." "This is not a merit, this is simply a big trouble." The female princess also believed Yunyao's nonsense, and wrote a memorial to explain the role of the prince in the county. Unexpectedly, it would become like this, and it became the core of support and opposition, and was in a dilemma.
"It's like this, you'll get used to it." Yun Yao said that being famous is the experience of countless people praising and scolding countless people. The prince-consort's face still needs to be trained.
"What will happen in the end?" The female princess was worried about losing control.
"Don't worry, you just need to support the prince in the county. At this time, you can't leave a way out for yourself. Success will lead to success and fame, and failure will lead to a thousand years of bad luck. Only by burning your boats, those who support you will always support you. Besides, everyone's arguments now cannot change the determination of the father's emperor. Because the father wants to solve the problem, opponents cannot solve it, so the prince's emperor will inevitably implement it." Yunyao knew very well that Li Shimin wanted not only an opposition voice, but a solution to the conflict between him and the prince. Whether the prince's retreat is beneficial or not, as long as the conflict between him and the prince can be resolved, it's enough to talk about the future.
It seems that there is a choice, but there is actually no choice at all.
It is the same as whether the emperor of the Song Dynasty supports or opposes the reform. It doesn’t matter whether the change or not. The emperor wants control. Which direction is beneficial to his own control of his ministers, the emperor will choose which direction. So it seems to be reform and unchangeable law, but in fact, there is only one answer for the emperor, and choose the one that is beneficial to him.
Li Shimin is the emperor, so he will only choose what is beneficial to him. What the opponents say makes sense, but they cannot share the emperor's worries.
Li Shimin was quite satisfied with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, so what he was worried about now was not the instability of the Tang Dynasty, but about the unstable position. So he would definitely choose the latter between possible messing up the future of the Tang Dynasty and stabilizing his throne.
This is also the reason why Yun Yao confirmed that the prince would inevitably be promoted in the county, and it was not only Li Shimin's support, but also the princes. In the past, the princes were the princes. Judging from the time of birth, it was beyond the control of the princes, but now, judging from their respective abilities, the princes were eager to try.
