Chapter 1241 Dragon liver and phoenix marrow are hard to come by, so be careful when cooking them
The emperor is a huge treasure with its own resources!
As long as the emperor was in Chang'an, Chang'an would be the core of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as Chang'an is the core, then there will inevitably be countless resources tilted toward Chang'an.
Therefore, from an economic point of view, Yunchu really wanted to keep the emperor in Chang'an. With him in Chang'an, if he did anything outrageous in Chang'an, the emperor, the boss, would take the blame, and the emperor who takes the blame can resist everyone in the world.
If that doesn't work, the emperor can shut up all those who have opinions. If that doesn't work, the emperor can shut them up forever.
Of course, the emperor must support him. Yun Chu planned to test the emperor's attitude tonight.
After having a good sleep, Li Zhi didn't wake up lazily until the evening. He sat in the warm pavilion and stared at the large tracts of bare farmland outside Xingqing Hall in a daze.
"Yunchu and the others are growing food in Xingqing Palace?"
Ruichun said quickly: "We are growing cotton."
"Government-grown?"
"It was planted by the people around me."
"Are you saying that this royal palace is open to the common people?"
"Your Majesty, the common people can only enter the front hall. People can't enter the Nanxun Hall, Datong Hall, Qinzheng Building, Huacalyxianghui Building and Chenxiang Pavilion in the back."
Li Zhi said: "The most important Xingqing Hall allows the common people to enter, and even chooses a greenhouse. Does this mean that I am not only close to the people, but also close to the farmers?"
"In reply to Your Majesty, Yun Chu dare not force Your Majesty to do anything. As far as I know, he just wants to grow these 100 acres of cotton."
“Is land in Chang’an so scarce?”
"Replying to Your Majesty, it's not that land in Chang'an is scarce, but that there are too many people in Chang'an. With more people, there will naturally be more supplies needed. Although Chang'an has the money to outsource some of it, Yun Chu also did not let go of anything that Chang'an can use.
land."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "So, he built the Xingqing Palace just for these lands, so the Daming Palace must be the same."
Ruichun smiled and said: "The Xingqing Palace was built to drive away some people."
Li Zhi said: "Who is it?"
Ruichun said: "According to Yun Chu, they are some people who are inconsistent with Chang'an's temperament."
"Who are the people who don't match Chang'an's temperament?"
Ruichun whispered: "Those urban foxes and community rats who originally lived in Xingqingfang."
Li Zhi said in confusion: "City Fox She Rat? With Yunchu's ability, can't he defeat these people?"
Ruichun said: "The city foxes and rats in every city actually have heels, and the roots of these dirty city foxes and rats are often those high-ranking families who claim to be heirs to poetry, etiquette, and etiquette.
They have no blood on their hands, and they exploit the profits from the people through the city foxes and rats they raise. Once something happens, they abandon these city foxes and rats to keep their own families safe.
Yun Chu took advantage of the opportunity of the large-scale construction projects in Chang'an to make all the urban foxes and community rats focus on the Xingqing Palace construction site. When these people gathered in Xingqingfang to prepare for negotiations due to the uneven distribution of interests, Yun Chu
The Xingqing Palace construction site was closed for three months.
Three months later, the Xingqing Palace construction site restarted, and the so-called city foxes and rats were no longer seen in Chang'an City."
"Isn't there any clear punishment?"
"No, since then, there has been no trace of this group of people in Chang'an City, and those high-ranking families seem to have forgotten that there was such a group of people under their sects.
And when Yun Chu continued to acquire land in Xingqingfang, he did not encounter any obstacles."
Li Zhi patted the giant bear next to him on the head and said, "None of these things will be reported."
Ruichun said: "They are just hooligans in the community. They don't even have household registration. No one cares about their life or death."
After chatting with Ruichun, a eunuch came to report that Yunchu wanted to see him.
Li Zhi was a little addicted to listening to stories today. He felt that there should be more stories to tell when Yun Chu came, so he ordered the eunuch to bring Yun Chu in.
"I heard from Ruichun that you took the opportunity of building Xingqing Palace to clean up Chang'an's customs and starve to death on the Xingqing Palace construction site?"
Yunchu looked at the emperor and said in surprise: "Would you rather have this?"
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Don't admit it?"
Yunchu spread his hands and said, "How can your majesty, your Majesty, ask me to admit to something that doesn't happen?"
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Maybe they didn't starve to death, but died of fighting each other?"
Yunchu saluted and said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise!"
Li Zhi turned back to Ruichun and said, "Learn a little bit."
Ruichun said: "I am an honest person."
Every Tang Dynasty official who took office in the local area basically had to wrest power back from the hands of the local wealthy families. This resulted in countless killings. Even people like Lu Xiu had to bleed like rivers of blood before they took office in Hebei.
The powers of the county magistrate have been fully implemented.
Li Zhi knew this very clearly and had long been used to it.
Fortunately, most of the officials sent out by the Tang Dynasty were able to regain their own power with the help of their colleagues, which was equivalent to regaining the power of the Tang Dynasty to govern the local area.
There is no doubt that the Tang Dynasty's method of controlling the world was to first control all the big cities, and then use the big cities as bases to expand to small towns, and then the small towns became county bases, and finally control all county towns. At the same time, the extension of Datang's power ended here.
It was the local gentry who extended power to specific individuals.
Nowadays, the only state and county that can truly extend the power of the Tang government to specific individuals is Chang'an.
This kind of governance system has a lot of loopholes. Because of the loopholes, once local farmers start to rebel, a prairie fire can spread in a very short period of time.
At that time, Chen Shuozhen, a rural female liar who claimed to be the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and was known as the Red Heaven Holy Mother, mastered the emperor's art in the Liujia area - Qimen Dunjia. This is how she rebelled. She killed and wounded the officers and soldiers along the way, and was defeated by others.
Several cities, but fortunately the local officials of the Tang Dynasty were still effective, so they captured the "Emperor Wenjia" who had proclaimed himself emperor alive.
Strictly speaking, in Chinese history, Chen Shuozhen should be the first female emperor with territory and political power.
In that battle, more than 30,000 people under Emperor Wenjia died... As for the officers and soldiers, nearly 40,000 people also died in the battle, so that the war-torn area had to recuperate for more than ten years before slowly regaining its vitality.
Therefore, the political power model of the Tang Dynasty was destined to be a hotbed of peasant uprisings.
The loopholes that Yun Chu could see, Li Ji could also see clearly. If the emperor hadn't had a duel with Li Ji on the Yellow River suspension bridge built by Yun Chu, which would be recorded in the history books.
Datang is probably busy quelling the chaos now.
After all, the rebellion instigated by Li Ji could not be quelled in ten or eight years.
Li Zhi waved his hand, as if unwilling to discuss this issue with Yun Chu, and asked with a smile: "How much did you sell my banquet for?"
Yun Chu said: "There are 68,000 acres of land, and another 50,000 acres are under planning."
Li Zhi sighed and said, "It's cheap."
Yun Chu nodded and said: "There is nothing we can do. The people below have tried their best. It seems that they are only willing to spend so much on Your Majesty."
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Don't try to sow discord. There are quite a few retainers of the Li family among those people, but with your talent, you should have backup, right?"
Yun Chu chuckled, approached Li Zhi and said, "There are a few people who are a little dissatisfied with their current status."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "You have a way to make them more dissatisfied, right?"
Yun Chu bared his teeth and said with a smile: "It's natural, it's only good to be kind, my face is worthless."
"What kind of favor do you want me to do?"
Yun Chu said: "Your Majesty's hand is so white that it is better than blue. Those people cherish your Majesty's calligraphy as if it were an unparalleled treasure."
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Since you cherish it like an unparalleled treasure, I can't give you too many pens and inks at one time, otherwise your strategy of killing three people with two peaches will not work."
It is true that talking to Li Zhi or planning something can really make Yun Chu feel that he has a clear understanding.
The two of them had a very pleasant conversation, which actually made Ruichun who was standing by the side sweat.
I thought that Yun Chu's transaction of buying and selling the banquet seats given by His Majesty would make the Emperor unhappy. Unexpectedly, His Majesty himself seemed to be more excited about this kind of thing than Yun Chu, the beneficiary.
After discussing the time for the banquet with the emperor, Yunchu said goodbye and left. It was Ruichun who sent him out.
When no one was around, Ruichun asked: "How?"
Yunchu sighed and said: "Your Majesty is old and no longer has the ambition of the past."
Ruichun said: "Before you came, I had already brought the topic to local governance."
Yun Chu spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty did talk about it, but he only said a few words. It seems that this problem will eventually fall on Prince Hong."
Ruichun smiled happily and said to Yunchu: "Then let your Majesty continue to be so happy. He has done enough for the Tang Dynasty."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "That's fine, just keep having fun."
When Yun Chu returned home, it was already the second watch.
The whole family didn't sleep, just waiting for him, the head of the family, to come back.
Li Si's eyes were crying like two rotten peaches. As soon as Yun Chu came back, he said anxiously: "Ah, my father won't let me serve in Xingqing Palace."
Yun Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Sidao: "As you are, I don't want you to come and serve me."
Li Si immediately burst into tears.
Yu Xiurong said: "What are you teasing her about? This child is already suffering."
Yunchu ignored his wife's complaints and said to Yun Jin, "You go to Xingqing Palace early tomorrow morning and continue to be His Majesty's secretary."
Yun Jin nodded and said, "It seems another secretary died."
Yun Chu sighed and said: "There is no way. The queen keeps sending secretaries to the emperor, and the emperor keeps dealing with the secretaries. If you go, your majesty will kill fewer people and save Chang'an City.
Wrong soul."
Yun Luan curled her lips after listening to her father's words and said: "I would even risk my life to be an official."
Yun Chu said: "Don't talk about people like that, at least they are motivated."
Yun Luan said: "Aye, it's not that I'm unmotivated, it's that I really don't want to hang out in the hospital anymore. The old immortal is best at gynecology and pediatrics, and my son doesn't want to be a gynecology and pediatrics doctor in the future."
Yun Chu looked at Yun Luan and said, "Where are the utensils?"
Yun Luan said: "I made a kind of clamp that can help women to take out the baby when giving birth... As a result, the baby is now accompanied by Wen's wife to deliver the baby all day long. If the baby can't come out, the baby will use the clamp.
help……"
Yu Xiurong blushed and slapped Yun Luan on the head and said, "Why do you say everything?"
Yun Luan said aggrievedly: "My child is now a doctor. Even the old gods say that the big clips made by my child can benefit the people. How come it has become such a dirty talk when it comes to you?"
