Chapter 169 In the Tang Dynasty, the country and the people were not connected
Chapter 1244 In the Tang Dynasty, the country and the people were not connected
Li Zhi was very familiar with the concept of common people.
Almost all of his decrees were issued in the name of the people.
However, all government orders are issued after weighing many parties, among which issues concerning the people are actually the least considered.
As Wu Chengsi said, after satisfying the interests of the country, the overflow belongs to the people.
This issue is mainly about the right to speak. The royal family, nobles, officials, military, big landowners, and merchants all have spokespersons. Only the common people don't like to talk much, so it is natural that they are divided less.
Almost all the output of the Tang Dynasty was created by the common people, but they had no say in distribution issues.
The distribution principle in this world has never been that the more you work, the more you will get, and the more you work, the more you will get.
"When I built a house in Chang'an, I didn't have a penny in my hand. I just used half of the people's land deeds to renovate a lot of Chang'an City. Logically speaking, after getting the money, I should give the largest part to the people.
As a result, the largest share became the country's private property, such as built streets, planned shops, and garden-like resting places.
The country took away most of the benefits, the instigator took away part of the benefits, the businessmen involved in building the houses took away part of the benefits, and all the people got was a house with half the area.
At that time, everyone said that I was as capable as Tao Zhu and Fan Li of making gold from the ground. In fact, I was very frightened. In this process where everyone seemed to be gaining, was there really no loser?
We use wisdom that surpasses the vision and knowledge of the people to create a beautiful dream for the people that seems to benefit everyone. If God has eyes, I will definitely not escape the punishment of God.
The one who wins the battle of wits with the common people must be a high-ranking official.
The victor in the battle with the common people gets to ride the steed.
So, I would like to ask Your Majesty today: Are the common people the most terrifying enemies of our Tang Dynasty?"
Yun Chu abandoned the comfortable chair and instead knelt down on the smooth floor, intervening as a gesture of courtesy and formally playing the duel with the emperor.
When Li Zhi saw that Yunchu was starting to look solemn, he lifted his body from the giant bear, sat cross-legged on the futon and said seriously: "The common people are not my enemies, they are one with me."
Yun Chu then said angrily: "Since they are one body, what difference does the head, torso, and limbs make to Your Majesty?"
Li Zhidao said: "There is a difference. If the brain is injured, life will be in danger. If the trunk is injured, life will be in danger. If the limbs are injured, you can give up under the dilemma. Yun Chu, the people are indeed very important. Overemphasis on the importance of the people will damage the court.
authority.
Emperor Taizong once said that the king is the boat and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat and capsize it. It can be seen that Emperor Taizong's positioning of the people is still very accurate. The court and the people are one boat and the other water. They are two kinds of things.
Something completely different.
If a boat wants to sail on the vast water, it must conquer the water and control the water. Therefore, there is no difference in the national policy of the imperial court. It was like this before, like it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future."
Li Zhi's answer did not go beyond Yun Chu's expectations. He glanced at Yun Jin, the emperor's temporary secretary who was busy writing, and sighed: "Your Majesty, please at least give me a chance to accept the blessings of rain and dew."
Li Zhi snorted angrily and said: "First bring up a huge truth, and then bring up a small question that is not very in line with the rules. Yun Chu, your ability to ask for high prices and pay back the money on the spot has improved.
I will let you succeed today, allowing you to break etiquette taboos in Chang'an, giving you the greatest economic freedom in Chang'an, allowing Chang'an to sell any goods except ordnance, and you can also break the court's taboo on ingenious and obscene skills.
Yunchu, isn't this what you want today?
It's easy to say, I'll give it to you, and let me take a good look at your ability."
Yun Chu was overjoyed when he heard this, and then turned around and shouted at Yun Jin: "Didn't you hear His Majesty's order? Why don't you hurry up and draw up the order?"
However, Yun Jin still sat in the corner unmoving, looking at the emperor with his eyes, turning a deaf ear to the scolding from his father.
Li Zhi was very satisfied with Yun Jin's behavior. He waved his hand to Yun Jin and said: "Discuss with the Secretary Supervisor and don't issue the decree so straightforwardly. The decree will be written in the Zhongzhong, and after the discussion between the two provinces, it will be announced to the world."
After Yunjin saluted, she walked backwards and left the greenhouse.
After the emperor, Ruichun and Yunchu were left in the room, Yunchu looked at the sunny sky outside and said with a smile: "Don't you, Your Majesty, want to go to your Chang'an City to see how your people are doing now?"
What was your life like?"
Ruichun was shocked when he heard this. First he glared at Yunchu angrily, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is inappropriate for you to wear a white dragon fish suit and wander around the market. Please think again."
After hearing Yun Chu's words, Li Zhi suddenly had a smile on his face. He lost all the seriousness he had when he had just confronted Yun Chu. He stroked the giant bear behind him and said, "Can I take it with me?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Why not? Nowadays, there are many people keeping giant bears as pets in Chang'an City. Speaking of which, not only is your majesty's giant bear old, but its fur is not too bright. The pet giant in Chang'an City
Not good among bears."
The giant bear seemed to understand Yun Chu's words, and raised its head nervously, its two small eyes full of fear, and then hid its huge head behind Li Zhi, as if it was afraid of being abandoned by Li Zhi.
Li Zhi stroked the giant bear's head and complained to Yun Chu: "Okay, why are you trying to scare it?"
Seeing that there was no way to stop Emperor Bailongyu from going shopping in the market, Ruichun lamented and went to do security work.
Yun Chu said from behind: "Call Xue Rengui. He has rough skin and thick flesh. He can be used to ward off disasters for Your Majesty when necessary."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "You have to be careful, Xue Rengui is not an open-minded person."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "What can he do to me? He could fight with me a few times before, but now, with his old and frail appearance, I don't even dare to fight with me again."
Hearing this, Li Zhi said with some sadness: "During the Yonghui period, it was hard for the three of you to still fight in Chang'an City. Now, Pei Qing's body is so bloated that he can hardly mount a war horse. Xue Qing has been in Liaodong for five years.
Injured, the former Yonghui famous general, you are the only one left who can wear armor and go into battle."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he heard Xue Rengui's voice coming from outside the greenhouse.
"Your Majesty, I am now able to shoot a strong bow, ride a strong horse, kill powerful enemies, and can eat ten kilograms of meat for a meal and a bucket of rice..."
"Just in an instant, three pieces of shit were soaked..."
"Yunchu, you are just like the despicable villain Guo Kai in the history books."
"Okay, okay, today we will accompany your majesty to the market. I will not slander your majesty. How about if you eat ten pounds of meat and a bucket of rice in front of your majesty, a certain family will apologize to you?"
"You are very powerful in Chang'an. I don't know if you will harm me."
"Time and place, you choose."
Although Xue Rengui was a little angry because of Yun Chu, he still did not lose his reason. He saluted the emperor and said: "Of course it is your majesty's choice."
Li Zhi looked at Yunchu with a smile and said, "I won't go to Jinchangfang."
Yun Chu said: "Master Xuanzang is still sweeping the couch in Da Ci'en Temple to treat His Majesty. I heard that Master Guiji has prepared tea."
Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I haven't seen Master Xuanzang for a long time, so I should go and visit him."
Xue Rengui said: "I won't have a meal at Jinchangfang."
Yun Chuyou said to the emperor: "Daozhang Sun has specially prepared meals for His Majesty in the cafeteria of the Taiyuan Hospital."
After speaking, he looked at Xue Rengui and said, "Do you dare to eat the meal prepared by Master Sun?"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "That's fine, wait until I take off my clothes..."
After Li Zhi left, the giant bear followed immediately. When he reached the door, he turned back and glanced deeply at Yun Chu, as if he wanted to remember this face that made her feel sick, and he seemed to be thinking of revenge.
After Li Zhi left, Yun Chu and Xue Rengui were really disgusted with each other. They turned their heads away in unison, not wanting to look at each other.
Xue Rengui looked at the sea of flowers outside and said, "How is my son?"
Yun Chu said: "I am training Chang'an soldiers in the countryside under the name of Colonel Guo Yi."
Xue Rengui frowned and said: "Training government soldiers? I hope he can be transferred to a civilian official."
Yun Chu said: "It's impossible."
Xue Rengui looked at Yun Chu angrily and said, "Why, is my son too stupid to be used for anything?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Because he doesn't like it, really doesn't like it. I originally wanted him to work in the most powerful official's office in Chang'an, but the result was not good. He couldn't survive in the mountains and seas of documents, but he didn't like the official office.
He was very interested in the matter and asked how I could make him a government official, so I sent him to teach the soldiers of Chang'an Prefecture how to use firearms correctly.
He is now very happy in his job. When he returned to the Yamen five days ago, he told me that he liked to develop in the military."
Xue Rengui sighed and said: "I naturally know that he likes military affairs. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to be promoted in the Tang army nowadays. Soldiers have no external enemies. It is almost impossible to become a marquis immediately."
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Is joining the army just to be crowned a marquis and shine in your family immediately?
Do we need soldiers to guard the borders? Do we need soldiers to exterminate sporadic foreign enemies? Do we need soldiers to suppress disobedient tribes? Do we need soldiers to quell domestic chaos? Do we need soldiers to quell a major natural disaster?
Soldiers sent out to rescue?
Old Xue, you really only care about yourself and have no concern for the Tang Dynasty."
Xue Rengui snorted coldly and said: "I just saw your eldest son arguing lively with a group of civil servants in the secretary's prison. He looked like he was in great power."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I really want Yun Jin to become a soldier, but unfortunately, this kid has done so much in the southwest that few civil and military officials in the court agreed to let him join the army.
He did not go to a central place like the Secretary's Prison voluntarily, but the group of people in the Secretary's Prison begged him to go. Once His Majesty leaves Chang'an, he, an official from the fifth rank, will no longer have any errands and will continue to stay.
There is nothing to do at home.”
Xue Rengui sighed and said, "I have protected my son very well. He should be allowed to go into battle as soon as possible."
While the two were chatting, Li Zhi put on a purple robe and wore a pair of glasses made of crystal on the bridge of his nose. He said he had colorless eyes, but when others looked over, they could only see light blue and could not see anything.
To Li Zhi's eyes, this thing looked very noble.
Seeing this, Yun Chu took out a pair of black glasses from his sleeves and put them on. Ruichun, who came out with the emperor, put on a pair of brown glasses. Xue Rengui suddenly felt that he was excluded.
Li Zhi couldn't see Xue Rengui's embarrassment, so he gave an order, and the eunuch brought a pair of black glasses to Xue Rengui.
This thing is only popular in a very small circle now. Although Xue Rengui has high authority, he has nothing to do with this circle. Naturally, he does not know that this thing exists in the world. After wearing it, the originally dazzling sunlight suddenly dimmed.
Make him feel more comfortable.
Li Zhi walked into the plum blossom field anyway, and passed his hands over the plum blossoms that could be mistaken for real ones. Feeling the soft feeling of silk passing through his palms, he stood deep in the plum blossoms and said to Yun Chu: "Fake ones will always be fake.
fragrant."
When Yun Chu heard the words, he said to Yun Jin who was following him: "Spray the plum blossoms with the condensed fragrance of plum blossoms."
Yun Jin whispered: "It costs too much, why not spray it on His Majesty's clothes?"
Li Zhi glanced at Yun Chu, waved his sleeves and left Xingqing Palace first.
Li Zhi thought that his group's appearance would be very conspicuous in Chang'an City. After leaving Xingqingfang, he discovered that there were quite a few people wearing glasses and walking around on the streets holding big and small bears.
The group of them walked onto Zhuque Street and quickly blended into the crowd without being conspicuous at all.
"Why is this?"
Li Zhi pointed to a few scholar-looking people walking in front holding flower bears and asked Yun Chu.
Yun Chu said: "There were not many people like this before. Since Your Majesty came to Chang'an, there have been more people like this. This is called doing good things from above, and they will follow suit below."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "It sounds like it's my fault."
Yun Chu said: "You are the master of Chang'an, so every move you make has a great impact on Chang'an."
Li Zhi hummed and walked to Jinchangfang in a familiar way. He wanted to see Xuanzang who was getting younger and more alive today...
A few days ago, the cold wind was howling in Chang'an. Under the warm sunshine, the temperature rose sharply. People in Chang'an went out to enjoy the sunshine. Li Zhi wanted to stand at a crossroads, but he was stopped by a man blowing a whistle.
The bad guys were driven away with whistles.
Unable to stand at a busy intersection, Li Zhi said very dissatisfied: "Usually how do you deal with such unsightly things?"
Yun Chu looked at the bad guy who disliked their slow pace and then uttered dirty words, and said to the emperor: "Normally, he will reward you, but he offended your majesty today, so Wei Chen is going to let him dig for a year."
Mao pit."
Li Zhi said dissatisfied: "Aren't you going to behead your head?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Pedestrians are not allowed to stop at the crossroads. This is Chang'an's rule. It is us who are in the wrong. There is no way to behead them."
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Then punish his whole family to dig pits, and no one should be missing."
Yun Chu took a look at the delinquent who was no more than twenty years old. When he thought that this guy was going to dig a latrine with his confinement baby, he felt that the emperor was really ruthless.
Now, all Yun Chu can do is ask Zhang Jia to find a cleaner toilet for this delinquent family. As for disobeying the emperor, it is really not worth it.
The emperor returned to Chang'an, and Chang'an once again became the most beautiful city under the emperor's feet. Even the clothes of pedestrians on the streets were two points better than before.
Seeing that every time the emperor passed by a copper bull, he would hit it with a picked bamboo pole several times to test whether it was solid. Yun Chu secretly summoned Zhang Jia and asked him to pass on the order. There would be no penalty for knocking the bull today.
.
Otherwise, the emperor's method of inspecting places was very simple and crude. He preferred doing things rather than watching.
If such inappropriate behavior is seen by bad people again, Yunchu feels that bad people in Chang'an will dig holes.
This is the emperor's city, and he can really do whatever he wants in the city...
