Chapter 533: A big crisis arises after the reform. Li Mins ingenious plan resolves it to its advantage. Have more children and more fields.
That night, Li Shimin read Li Min's household registration reform plan.
I couldn't help but start shooting the case.
And laughing like crazy.
Concubine Yang was so frightened that she hurried over and asked.
"Your Majesty, what's going on!? What happened?"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Li Shimin said five good words in a row.
This makes people feel very surprised. Is Li Shimin crazy? Otherwise, how could this happen? What makes him so happy?
Then he added: "Why did I leave such a good thing to read at night? It should be read during the day. Why did I focus on the pen? It's really putting the cart before the horse!"
He said with some regret. He had been tinkering with the pen at night and never had time to read Li Min's manuscript. When he just put down the pen, he read it and was amazed when he saw the excitement.
This made Concubine Yang on the side very puzzled.
What is the emperor like today?
What is a pen, and what good things did he read? He has never been so excited before!
She didn't understand what Li Shimin said at all.
So he asked curiously: "Your Majesty... what is going on with you?"
"Look, my dear, look at this household registration reform plan. Isn't it wonderful? Every point written here is in place. If we follow these points, who else can hide the population secretly? Then
Are you still worried that the Tang Dynasty is not strong? This plan is really good! It’s wonderful!”
Li Shimin put a piece of paper in front of Concubine Yang.
He kept praising Li Min's plan, but deliberately concealed Li Min's signature!
"Let me see it!"
Concubine Yang took the paper and took a look.
I felt shocked immediately.
What she focused on was not the content inside, but other points. No matter how hard Li Shimin covered it, she could still recognize the handwriting.
"Is this handwriting awkward? And why is the handwriting so small! And the writing is so clear! This child's writing skills have improved! He can actually write such small handwriting with a brush!"
The size of calligraphy is extremely limited, and it is basically impossible to write characters the size of a fountain pen.
At this time, Concubine Yang didn't know the existence of any fountain pen, so she could only praise Li Min for his good calligraphy.
"That's what the pen wrote! Just this pen! Look!"
Li Shimin showed off and demonstrated what Li Min had demonstrated again without saying that it was Li Min who did it. This made Concubine Yang wonder.
"So that's it. It's a small world that has really changed a lot. A small pen can actually have such benefits. It seems that there will be huge reforms in the literary circle in the future. With such small characters, will it save more paper in the future?
"
"My beloved, this is not the key. The key is whether the plan here is very good! Take a look quickly!"
Only then did Li Shimin realize this. He was so excited just now that he showed off his pen.
Concubine Yang started to look at it.
As a princess of the former dynasty, her literary talent is not inferior to that of Empress Changsun. Her understanding is not inferior to that of Li Shimin, and she also has her own views on politics.
She also has some say in the implementation of some policies.
Although she is not as old as Empress Changsun, Li Shimin still listens to some words.
Taking today's matter as an example, Li Shimin probably also wanted to hear her opinion.
"This...I'm afraid..."
When she saw it, her face immediately turned pale.
Li Shimin felt that something was wrong.
It seems that Concubine Yang does not support this.
"If this is implemented, there will probably be chaos in the Tang Dynasty!"
Therefore, she refused, and this household registration would only intensify the conflict.
Put Datang in danger.
Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.
"If this kid dares to propose such a plan, I will dare to do it! For the future prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, even if some people are sacrificed, so what! Besides this plan, is there any other feasible method?"
Li Shimin is full of confidence.
Some of these plans coincide with my own ideas.
Since the day he became emperor, he has been unhappy with the current household registration plan, but no one has come up with a perfect plan to replace the existing system. Over the years, it was finally cracked by Li Min.
.
The rules and regulations above are very clear.
This made Li Shimin's determination even stronger.
In addition, the treasury has been full recently, he has money, and with Li Min's industrial support, he no longer has to look at the family's face!
So he has to implement this plan no matter what.
Concubine Yang had different considerations.
This may be the first time she has rejected Li Min's plan in a while.
Because he was afraid that Li Shimin would not be able to control the family.
But Li Shimin believes that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If you don't do it now, what will you do in the future? Should you just put it off?
At the same time, he also wanted to find out the real population of Datang.
This population is the foundation of his country!
It is wealth and the foundation of a strong country.
What Concubine Yang is worried about is that the Shengtang Group is growing and affecting the lives of most of Chang'an City.
Even the entire population of Chang'an City has a direct or indirect relationship with the Shengtang Group.
As the saying goes, pulling one hair can affect the whole body. If you really do that, I'm afraid it will be bad.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to implement it?"
"Why? Isn't it possible? Aren't you always supporting that kid? Why did it change today? On the contrary, you think his plan is not working!?"
"Because this change is so big that it makes people feel suffocated, as if they are about to be touched by a storm. That feeling is very uncomfortable! And this is not a good thing for Shengtang Group. After all, it is
There are too many intricate connections.”
"My dear concubine, you think too much. Sometimes I admire that boy's courage very much. His courage is worth learning from me! So, you don't need to talk too much! I will summon all the civil and military officials now to arrange this matter.
Get down!"
Li Shimin immediately made up his mind and made arrangements no matter what.
Concubine Yang knew that her opinion had no effect, so she had to give up.
She thought silently in her heart, maybe she was wrong this time.
That night, Li Shimin summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the matter until the early hours of the morning.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Finally, the division of labor will be confirmed.
At the same time, early the next morning, the news spread first, and all the powerful families were in chaos.
They knew the news in advance and immediately exploded.
He said he wanted to protest, or even directly challenged him.
Said that the court could not be allowed to continue like this.
This is to undermine their fundamentals.
At this time, manpower is the key, and all the aristocratic families are in panic.
Whether it is the Wang family, the Li family, or the Chang'an Cui family who was taken under Li Min's command.
The Zheng family and the Lu family who cooperated with him.
Or some aristocratic families, big or small, are all in chaos.
These people controlled about 80% of the resources of the Tang Dynasty. The number of people among them was staggering!
If Li Shimin were allowed to continue like this, they would probably lose more than 30% of their profits.
Because without people, it is equivalent to giving up many things that were originally done by people.
So, they started to make trouble.
It only took three days for a lot of pressure to show up.
Faced with their demands, officials within the imperial court were also anxious.
There were also some officials from aristocratic families who repeatedly petitioned Li Shimin to stop this behavior.
Li Shimin ignored it and implemented it directly.
Many aristocratic families directly went on strike to reject the household registration reform.
Some people even went to the government to make trouble.
Chang'an, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, fell into chaos.
The most talked about thing in the entire Tang Dynasty was this reform.
Compared to the aristocratic families, the people living at the bottom of the class supported it with both hands.
However, after years of oppression and no spiritual support, their voices are very small.
Only a few people stood up to oppose the family.
But the result they get will be to be sold to someone else, even far away.
Some people were brutally killed, and the situation is probably getting worse.
In Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin was very angry.
He was furious there with a large number of papers in his hand.
"What did each of these people do? Family riots are happening everywhere! Don't you know how to stop them?"
Li Shimin said very angry.
"There is turmoil everywhere! Where are the people from the Ministry of War?"
He also did not expect that a household registration reform would trigger such a huge response.
The entire Tang Dynasty was surrounded by enemies.
Cheng Yaojin said directly: "These people are rebels! I thought I could kill the chickens to scare the monkeys! Let them know that the current court is not the previous court!"
Cheng Yaojin advocated killing one person to serve as a warning to others, so as to achieve good results.
Many generals have the same view as him. Some people just deserve to be beaten. If you don't beat them, you won't know what it means to be strong.
Fang Xuanling said: "I don't believe that if we let them cause trouble for a few days, they can cause trouble to the sky! Most of the merchants still exist!"
They feel that killing is too bloody and should be dealt with in other ways.
"If they continue to make trouble, the market will be turbulent again!"
Wei Zheng said: "Regarding this, I think we should control prices well. Anyone who dares to increase prices will be punished! Punish them until they can't do it!"
Everyone put forward their own opinions.
Li Shimin couldn't listen at all.
He is in a state of chaos now. If he had known earlier, he would have listened to Concubine Yang.
It's too late to say anything now.
But there is no regret in taking medicine.
What can be done now?
Just have to deal with it.
"Dai Zhou, what do you think? Do you have any opinion on this matter?"
Li Shimin suddenly asked Dai Zhou.
He has been spending the past few days in the Shengtang Group.
Therefore, the contact with Li Min is relatively frequent, and since he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, there is not much use in asking others besides him.
"Your Majesty, I just received a newspaper, please read it first!"
Dai Zhou did not reply directly, but took out a newspaper.
This is this morning's newspaper.
Li Shimin realized that he had not read the newspaper today.
"Send it up! Let me see it!"
After he took the newspaper and read it, he was immediately shocked.
"This...this kid can do it!"
The ministers were puzzled as to what he was talking about.
"Your Majesty, what did the newspaper say?"
"The Zhenguan Newspaper published an article stating the benefits of household registration reform and asking the people to cooperate. If you don't cooperate, you will hinder the process of history and be a sinner! It also encourages the people to stand up and fight for their own interests, otherwise they will wait.
They are still enslaved. In this case, the aristocratic family may have no choice, right?"
This is the wonderful use of newspapers.
It can control the direction of public opinion.
In this way, the people will have spiritual support.
The imperial court has issued official news to show its determination, so they naturally believe in the official news.
Presumably, more and more people will come forward in the future.
Resist the family's persistence.
But Hou Junji said: "How can a newspaper reverse the situation? Is your Majesty's view of this newspaper too arbitrary?"
"Hou Junji, I have a basis. As long as we control the power of public opinion, we will definitely gain huge support and the majority will defeat the minority. This is a historical necessity. I didn't expect that boy to be so thoughtful. In this way, it is
For a good thing!"
Li Min had a lot to think about. This time, his newspaper could be regarded as a meritorious service.
The trend of public opinion was pushed to the court.
No matter how big the family is and how many people there are, can they outnumber the common people?
"Your Majesty, this may not have been verified yet. We have to think of other methods."
To put it bluntly, I don’t believe that Li Min’s newspaper can do this.
"Then do you have any other ideas? You can tell me and listen."
Li Shimin asked in turn.
"I think we can proceed step by step, cancel the reform first to appease the emotions of the aristocratic families, proceed slowly, and then carry out the reform later!"
At this time, Li Jing directly retorted: "No, changing the order in the morning and evening will damage the majesty of the imperial court! It cannot be canceled at this time! Otherwise, where is the prestige of the imperial court?"
"What do you think?"
"I agree with General Cheng's suggestion. These people are too arrogant. We must not tolerate them. We must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
"Reckless! How reckless. This is not how a country is governed!"
"Hou Junji, say it again! Can this be called reckless? It's simply ridiculous."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cheng Yaojin was unhappy when he heard this and started to fight directly.
"What I said is true, isn't it? Besides killing people, what else can you do? These people can't just kill and be done with it. They have demands now, and we have to listen to what they think. We can't just beat them with a stick.
Die, otherwise how can you convince the public?"
"These people should be punished and directly charged with rebellion. Let's see who dares to come out and say otherwise!"
"Reckless man!"
"If you say that again, I will beat you to death!"
The scene immediately broke out.
The two refused to give in to each other, and the more they quarreled, the more fierce they became. They also invited many people to participate. In just a short time, the civil and military officials were divided into two factions, and no one was convinced by the other.
"That's enough! Are you talking about a market here? Shut up!"
Li Shimin was furious.
It’s already this time, do you still have the energy to argue?
Everyone stopped.
"Report!"
At this time, a eunuch came to report.
"What's the matter?"
Only then did everyone calm down.
"A large number of people appeared in various places in the Tang Dynasty to stop the troubled aristocratic families. Conflicts between the two sides aroused and countless people were injured."
Li Shimin was shocked.
I am not messed up, but I am messed up below.
Fang Xuanling said at this time: "The newspapers have played a role. Your Majesty, we should control both sides at this time, put the troublemakers in prison, and protect the people. Use this as a reason to beat the noble family!"
"Your Majesty, I think this is also the case!"
Wei Zheng also said.
Hou Junji said just now that it had no effect, but now it has had an effect.
Those people showed up to stop the family from causing trouble after reading the newspaper.
If a party of aristocratic families gathers and there is no trouble, the court cannot arrest them. But if common people participate and someone is injured, then they can take sides and directly kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
And in the name of justice.
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
"Okay, Li Jing, I'll leave this matter to you! The sooner the better, go quickly!"
"As you command!"
Li Jing then left the Tai Chi Palace and quickly rushed to the scene of the accident.
Going out this time will definitely shut up the family.
Li Shimin was still afraid that no one would cause trouble.
These people should be imprisoned for ten days and a half to see if they still dare.
If they go on strike and don't do business, then naturally someone will make money on their behalf.
"You still have something to do. If there is nothing else, just retreat from the court!"
Li Shimin is exhausted both physically and mentally today.
But at this time, another eunuch came to report.
"Report!"
"What's the matter?"
he asks.
"The Sixth Prince has now joined forces with the Cui family, the Zheng family, and the Lu family to start buying up a large number of shops! The speed is extremely fast!"
"What kind of shops are they?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Shops that are closely related to life. I heard that he is going to fight with the aristocratic family! At this time, the aristocratic family began to panic. Because the sixth prince purchased more than a hundred shops in Chang'an City."
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was given a powerful shot.
This is forcing the aristocratic family to submit.
Let them never dare to go on strike again, because with this strike, the entire market will be eaten up by Li Min.
Their advantage will cease to exist.
With Li Min's momentum, it started from Chang'an and then spread to surrounding areas.
In Li Min's words, since you don't do business, then I will.
If you don’t want to make money, then I’ll make it.
Someone said:
"The Sixth Prince is really powerful. He can dominate the family by himself!"
"Father and son really have one heart! If this is the case, with the help of the imperial court, we will definitely be able to win over the family! Let them know that this world still belongs to His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty's decision is really wise, and the Sixth Prince's help is really gratifying!"
While people were saying good things about Li Shimin, they also did not forget to praise Li Min.
But at this time, Li Shimin looked at it differently.
"This traitor is really ruthless with this move."
Fang Xuanling said: "Yes, the Sixth Prince's tricks are shocking!"
Li Shimin added: "He is forcing the aristocratic families to submit and at the same time, in order to help his own expansion. He wants to control most of the shops in Chang'an. This kid really thinks a lot!"
This is what Li Shimin is thinking.
It is also a shocking existence.
Everyone was also shocked.
It didn't occur to them that this seemed to be the case.
Now Li Shimin is riding a tiger with difficulty.
And Li Min took advantage of the situation.
It can be said that Li Min’s order was cheaper.
However, Li Shimin had no way to deal with him, and he felt like he was being led around by others.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Sixth Prince's heart is with the Tang Dynasty, and he is on the same side as the imperial court!"
"Why do I think he is making money?"
"His Majesty……"
"Okay, I don't want to mention this matter anymore! This matter will be handled as before!"
No one said anything at this time.
Suddenly Li Shimin wanted to know what Li Min would do next.
So, he deliberately asked Dai Zhou: "Dai Zhou, after you went to Shengtang Group in the past few days, did you know what the boy's views were next?"
Everyone thought Dai Zhou would be questioned.
Unexpectedly, he said: "I have learned a lot after going to Shengtang Group in recent days. The Sixth Prince made some analysis of the current stage and also proposed the next direction."
"Hmm? What's the next direction?"
“Have more children and more fields!”
"Huh? What direction is this? It's simply ridiculous. People want to have children now, but they can't, right? There is only so much land, how can we operate it?"
"I have heard him say this. He said that we can encourage births. One child can build up to ten liang without a high upper limit. We can also encourage people to cultivate new land. These new lands will be tax-free and tax-free for the first five years... He also said
In order to take revenge, the State of Yue introduced a series of policies to encourage childbirth. King Gou Jian of Yue was forced to endure hardships and endure hardships. Only by "ten years of gatherings and ten years of lessons" could he defeat the State of Wu and dominate the southeast. Their fertility policies also played an important role. At the same time,
The Sixth Prince also proposed that pregnant women should be provided with publicly funded medical treatment in the future. As long as they dare to get pregnant, the imperial court will pay for their illnesses during pregnancy!..."
Dai Zhou said a lot of ideas.
Every idea is incredible.
Li Shimin felt that there were many feasible points, but he did not explain them on the spot. He only said that they could be discussed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And ask the civil servant to copy it down as a memo.
"By the way, the Sixth Prince also said..."
"say what?"
There are quite a lot of things about Li Min alone.
God knows what Li Min said to Dai Zhou.
He actually let an old man act as his microphone.
"He said that recently he is studying how to double wheat yield!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Some people also said: "How is that possible? Since ancient times, the output of wheat has been so small. How can it be doubled? It is simply a joke."
"The Sixth Prince is overestimating his abilities!"
"We didn't judge the first one, but the second one is too ridiculous!"
"Yeah, how can he increase production? It's impossible!"
For those who support Li Min, they said: "The Sixth Prince will succeed in whatever he does. This time, I believe he will succeed."
"I also believe in him. He has never let us down. Shengtang Group has changed many people's living habits, and I support his changes."
"If wheat production can be increased, prices will fall again, which will benefit the people. People will be able to eat more in the future, and they will be able to afford to have more children in the future."
At present, the civil and military officials in the imperial court are directly divided into two factions.
Support and opposition.
Because what Li Min did was too controversial.
"Dai Zhou, what do you think?"
Li Shimin ignored everyone and asked.
"I thought I could let Li Chunfeng take a look at this. After all, he is the only one who knows this."
As a scientist, Li Chunfeng knows more.
Therefore, Dai Zhoucai suggested that Li Shimin send Li Chunfeng there.
When Li Chunfeng heard this, he stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty, I am also curious about how the Sixth Prince can do this, so I can go and have a look."
"Okay, in that case, let Li Chunfeng go and have a look. I also want to know how that kid did it!"
Finally, Li Shimin took care of some more matters, and the civil and military officials dispersed.
Li Chunfeng left the palace and went straight to the Shengtang Group.
