Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Sixty-four? Rentang?/a>


In Wu Mei's palace, Wu Mei was looking at Li Zhi dumbfounded, and happily told her about the reaction of the court officials when she appointed Li Hong as the Shangshu of Hubu.

"Yes, yes, they are all similar to the empress’s expression. Today, I only know what is called the appearance of all beings. The officials in this court have shown me a solid demonstration. But the empress, don’t you It is said that many of them still agree with Li Hong as the official book of the Ministry of Households. Supporters based on what Li Hong has done in recent years, violently attacked opponents, especially those glass, crystals, refined salt, and refined sugar. Wait, I think Li Hong is fully qualified for the post of Minister of the Household Department." Li Zhi is very satisfied with the reaction of the officials in the court today. The only unexpected thing is that the supporters still accounted for the majority. He also thought it would be half and half. It.

"Why didn't you appoint him as the Shangshu of the Ministry of War!" Wu Mei said irritably.

There is one more thing she didn't say, that is, after appointing Li Hong as Shangshu of the Ministry of War, in a few years, you can stay with your concubine and stay in the Daming Palace under construction behind you!

When Li Zhiyi has happy events or subtle moments, he always reacts slowly, and he said to the queen sternly, "That's not good, now Li Hong is still young, let's be a few years later. My skin is not up to date. More and more unable to support me for a day or two, sleepless review memorials. In the past few years, let him practice hard at the Ministry of Households. After a few years of maturity and a stable temper, I can rest assured Let him take the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War..."

"Your Majesty...!" Wu Mei's tone of dissatisfaction could not be concealed: "You also know that his temper is unstable. You are now handing over the financial power of Datang to him. Do you think he is competent? First? Not to mention anything else, just the three changes of virtue at that moment, you let the people all over the world have a happy birthday? The Ministry of Household has always been in charge of courtiers’ salaries, and the concubine dare to make a bet with you. He must put all his thoughts on this now. I will think about how to toss the courtiers with salary!"

"No, although I know my son and my mother, Hong'er was also the one I watched grow up. Although she is a bit stubborn, she won't make a lot of mistakes in political affairs. Look at his Taiyi City, When it was built, I had three chapters with me, and I was not allowed to intervene or help. Now you see, Taiyi City is crowded with people every day, merchants from all over the world are flooding in, and a lot of money enters Taiyi City every day."

Wu Mei sighed and said patiently: "That's because he likes money. Tell me, do you know how much money he has made over the years? Don't tell me that the Daming Palace is rebuilt. He took him Have you put all the money you earned? The concubine dare to bet with you that the money he financed to build the Daming Palace is probably just a fraction of the money he has made over the years! Maybe, little things can now be built with more money. The palace is now! You are still handing over the Ministry of Household to him, can you see anything else in this little thing?"

Wu Mei scolded Li Zhi angrily, just like the normal wife of an ordinary family. After scolding her husband, Wu Mei frowned and asked again: "Can there be other scholars in the household?"

Li Zhi spread his hands together and said innocently: "No, since Liu Rengui has sent troops to Baekje, the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department has been vacant. Today, the former Shangshu Cui Zhiwen of the Ministry of Justice has been appointed as the Shangshu of the Criminal Department."

Wu Mei felt that the general situation was over, and sighed helplessly, praying in her heart that Li Hong would really do as Li Zhi wished, not asking for merit, but for nothing but to take charge of the household department.

Wu Mei's worry is not unreasonable. After hearing the news, Li Hong was stunned for not more than a quarter of an hour, and then he found the fun of being a Shangshu in the household.

I thought that many things would need to wait until I became the throne, or a few years later, before I could rectify it. But now that opportunities are lost in the sky, I have summarized some of the shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty system, the military system, and the commercial tax and household registration management in the Tang Dynasty. You can slowly correct them one by one.

Except for the military system, everything else is within the authority of the household department. This is a good opportunity he couldn't ask for.

But Li Hong also knows that whether it is the equalization of land system or the tax law such as "rent adjustment", it is reasonable to exist, and the prosperity of Datang is also closely related to this.

The difference is that the merger of land private ownership and the gradual increase in Datang’s population have caused huge conflicts between the two. There are more and more people. The land that the state can grant to each other is due to the merger of private ownership. The less come, leading to the destruction of land equalization system.

According to his own ideas, Li Hong began to eliminate the signs of malpractice in a step-by-step manner, whether it was the equalization system or the rent adjustment, Li Hong did not intend to make a big move now.

All he has to do is to rationalize these systems in ten or even twenty years.

If you want to rationalize all problems, you need to start from a foundation, that is, population, and the improvement of the household registration system will be the keynote for rationalizing all problems.

Improving the household registration system is everything that is fundamental. Li Hong thought about this for a long time. He wanted to plug the loopholes in the household registration system at this time. I am afraid that his brains are not enough, but some people definitely do this. expert.

That is Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, who have always known how to govern people and know how to make good power.

So Li Hongda waved his hand and Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, who had just arrived in the East Palace, were studying the defects and advantages of the household registration system in addition to their usual book revisions.

As for the commercial tax of 31 tax in this period, Li Hong chose to take his own Taiyi City first, and gradually began to increase tax revenue. As for how much to change, this requires Shangguanyi, Guo Yu, Xu Yushi and others. Collaborate with Bai Chun.

Using the new mathematics they are now so well-versed, to make a new overview and statistics with God numbers.

Li Hong has a perfect vision for the future. With Chang'an and Luoyang as the center, radiating the entire northern economic center, Luoyang connects the north-south waterway and naturally is the top priority.

On the other hand, Chang'an can completely rely on Taiyi City to form a combination of traditional commerce and emerging commerce, complementing Luoyang to form a real economic circle.

The bank has been put on his agenda. After all, with the development of Taiyi City’s economy, it will naturally be among the merchants to give birth to the earliest flying money. If he does not launch it first, wait until the private merchants spontaneously When it is launched, it is easy to intervene, but it is difficult to take over.

It’s better to take the lead in launching it now, and then slowly expand along with the caravan.

So, the Chamber of Commerce was also formed in his head. The North-South Chamber of Commerce plus Taiyi City, the general chamber of commerce, will always allow profit-driven merchants to join in.

While sitting on a chair, he laughed while drooling, the perfect blueprint for the business empire seemed to have been formed in his mind, and now he could lie down on his merits and enjoy it.

No, Xia Zhi’s voice and Yushou disturbed his silly dream: "His Royal Highness, Master Xu and Master Li ask if you have any more orders?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was sleepy just now. I thought about too many questions last night." Li Hong woke up with saliva and looked at Li Yifu coming out of Dali Temple, and said: "I haven't seen you during this time, Yifu is thin. Less."

"Your Majesty Lao, your body is fine." Li Yifu obviously hasn't gone home yet, and he didn't know where he was casually shaved, shaved, changed his clothes and ran over.

"It's fine to come out. I'll be fine today. I will leave you for three days off, take a good rest at home, and come back in three days." Li Hong smiled and looked at Li Yifu, but said in his heart: " I don’t know what Li Yifu would look like when he knew his daughter and son-in-law would be killed."

"Yes, I would like to thank your Highness for your care." Li Yifu stood up and saluted.

This time the "trip" of Dali Temple made Li Yi's mansion seem not as sharp as before. Although the iconic gentle smile and the wise and deep eyes are still the same, the momentum always feels a little more rounded. It seems even more dangerous.

"Master Xu, as for the book revision, you still need to communicate with Mr. Shangguan, but fortunately, it is not anxious. You need to calm down to benefit the country and the people. As for what you said to Mr. Shangguan There are not enough book-repairers. I think we can recruit some of them. The eunuchs in the palace, the eunuchs who should be on duty, and those who are not on duty can follow along and learn and repair."

Li Hong is sloppy. Now the Donggong can use only a small amount of manpower. If you want to truly reserve talents, it will take a long time.

But Li Hong didn’t know that his temporary method of sloppy play had become an important pillar of Datang for hundreds of years~IndoMTL.com~ so that the eunuchs of the Ministry of Service in the palace became Datang. Over the years, an important part of the faculty has not only eliminated this peerless problem that has plagued the eunuchs in politics throughout the dynasties.

Moreover, he turned the eunuch, a product of the Chinese nation that has continued to exist for thousands of years, into the backbone of Datang.

Because of this group, after losing the enjoyment of human relations and so on, but because of Li Hong's temporary decision to let them learn while cultivating, in the following decades, too many Hongru universities have appeared.

They abandon the fame and wealth and impetuosity that ordinary people should have, but it is easier than ordinary people to climb to the peak in the ocean of knowledge. Over the next few decades, this group of internal servants contributed so many surprises to Li Zhi and Li Hong in invention, creation, pioneering and innovation.

Hua Meng walked in quietly and whispered in Li Hong's ear: "Prince prince, Jingzhe and Cheetah are back. They said He Lan Minzhi had returned to Chang'an City yesterday. Today he will go to Qujiangchi to visit. ."

"Oh, it's really fast." Li Hong blinked in surprise, and hurriedly ended the meeting with Xu Jingzong and others.

Looking at the departure of Xu Jingzong and others, Li Hong began to think about the information behind this news. He Lan Minzhi is back. Father and mother must know about it, but why not let him directly follow Wushun and the others back to their place of origin? , How can this guy go to Qujiangchi to play like a human!

"What's going on in Qujiangchi today?" Li Hong asked Huameng.

"Prince prince, today are the students from the Imperial College and Hongwenguan, and the new students from the Tang Dynasty sent by the Kingdom of Japan to meet in Qujiangchi." Huameng said.

"Mother, such a good thing is so nothing to do with me? Go, take a look. In the summer solstice, take my skateboard, let's go for fun together." Li Hong jumped off the chair, Going to join in the fun.
