Chapter 0869 Does Li Shimin understand selfless dedication?
He didn't come to see Li Shimin today to educate Li Chengqian. After a casual response, he talked about business with Li Shimin, "Isn't the second brother been buying an official position recently? Why do you want to come to me suddenly?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he no longer cared about Li Chengqian's affairs. He immediately sat up straight and said, "I have something to discuss with you..."
"What's up?"
Li Yuanji questions.
Li Shimin said bluntly: "Now the matter of buying an official position is in a dilemma, and I need you to help me open up the situation."
Li Yuanji thought for a moment and continued to ask: "What kind of dilemma do you need me to help you solve?"
Li Shimin said frankly: "At present, almost all the available officials in Hebei Province and Duji Province have been sold. A large part of the unappreciated commoner descendants of Boling, Qinghe, and Fanyang families have been controlled by us.
But there has been no progress in Taiyuan and Hongnong..."
Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "Because the Taiyuan Wang family and the Hongnong Yang family have people in the court and their status is not low, so you don't dare to act rashly?"
It's not that Li Shimin is afraid of the Taiyuan Wang family and the Hongnong Yang family. With Li Shimin's identity and experience, the Taiyuan Wang family and the Hongnong Yang family really can't scare him.
The reason why he did not make any progress in Taiyuan and Hongnong was that he did not want to be too radical and did not want to alert the people of the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Yang family of Hongnong in the court, so that they could fight back.
With the current foundation of the Tang Dynasty, we are not afraid of the Taiyuan Wang family and the Hongnong Yang family's counterattack. But if the Taiyuan Wang family and the Hongnong Yang family bring the Boling Cui family, the Qinghe Cui family, and the Fanyang Lu family together to attack the Tang Dynasty,
, and if it forms a torrent in the court, it will not be easy to solve.
Moreover, the things that Datang planned in Boling would be defeated because of this.
That's why Li Shimin became very cautious.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yes, the Taiyuan Wang family and the Hongnong Yang family have people in the court. Once they find out that what we are doing is digging into their foundation, they will definitely fight back, and their people in the court will also be the first.
Time gathered a group of courtiers to criticize us.
If we don't ask questions, they might even drag in the Boling Cui family, the Qinghe Cui family, and the Fan Yang Lu family.
Once they form a large scale, we will be in trouble.
At that time, in order to appease them, a strong man will have to cut off his arms.
Everything we have done before and everything you are doing now in Boling will be in vain."
Li Yuanji also knew this truth and immediately asked: "Then how do you want me to help you?"
Li Shimin didn't hesitate and said straight to the point: "I need you to send Wang Gui out, and at the same time, let the younger brothers and sisters return home to visit their relatives."
Li Yuanji thought about it and said: "You want Wang Gui to have no time to take care of the Wang family's misfortune, and you want Miao Yan to appease the Yang family?"
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yes, once Wang Gui is transferred from outside and gets entangled in trivial matters, it will be difficult to take care of the Wang family's affairs in Taiyuan. After the younger siblings return to the Yang family, the Yang family's eyes will inevitably focus on the younger siblings.
When I bought an official position in Hongnong, I was no longer so conspicuous."
Li Yuanji pondered and said: "I'm afraid this is not a long-term solution. Wang Gui was transferred out and will have to be transferred back one day. After Miaoyan goes to Yang's, it is impossible to stay in Yang's longer."
This is at best a stop-gap measure, which can only relieve temporary difficulties but cannot solve the problem in the long term.
Once Wang Gui returns to Beijing and Yang Miaoyan returns to the palace, people from the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Yang family from Hongnong will realize that something is wrong and will gather together to launch a more violent counterattack.
At that time, the troubles Datang will have to face will still be the same.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, I have already thought about it for you. When the time comes, you will send someone to cooperate with me in a play, and then you will blame everything on me.
Even if they are angry, they can only vent their anger on me, but I am already a commoner, so they can't do anything to me."
Li Yuanji touched his nose without leaving a trace, and couldn't help but said: "Then you will be criticized by thousands of people, and you will never be able to stand out."
Li Shimin chuckled, looked at Li Yuanji jokingly and said, "Isn't that what you thought when you chose me to do this?"
His thoughts were revealed, and Li Yuanji felt a little embarrassed.
But in this case, there is no need to worry about what Li Shimin is planning in this matter.
After all, after being targeted by all the wealthy families, he can no longer do anything else.
"Second brother thinks too dirty of me."
Although he had already acknowledged Li Shimin's words in his heart and was ready to do what Li Shimin said, he still defended himself.
Li Shimin didn't say anything, and just continued to smile jokingly.
Li Yuanji didn't have the shame to stay on the Dragon Boat any longer, so he found an excuse and left the Dragon Boat.
When they returned to Wude Hall, Yang Miaoyan and others had already gone to bed, and Li Yuanji did not bother them. He just found a place in the main hall to take off his clothes and fall asleep.
Early the next morning, before anyone else in the palace got up, Li Yuanji had already gotten up first. He first sent someone to see if Yang Miaoyan had gotten up. After getting a reply that Yang Miaoyan hadn't gotten up, he wrote something.
He received a transfer order and sent people to three provinces.
The content of the transfer order is very simple. Wang Gui is appointed as the governor ambassador of Henan Province and the Southeast Province. Dai Wei is the observer envoy. Wang Xuance, Chai Lingwu, Yang Yuzhi and Yang Sizhi are appointed as the observer envoy to patrol Henan Province and the Southeast Province.
He is said to be the governor's ambassador, but his status is actually similar to that of the pacifying ambassador. However, there are no uneasy officials in the Tang Dynasty who need to be appeased, and there are no rebels who need to be recruited, so he can only go on inspection tours in the name of the governor.
Soothing place.
First, let’s observe the people’s sentiments, sort out the local injustices, and help the local people seek justice.
Secondly, help the court take a good look at what the local situation is like, which decrees need to be continued to be carried forward, which decrees need to be corrected, and which places need new decrees to make up for it.
In short, this governor-ambassador went to the local areas to check for leaks and fill vacancies on behalf of the imperial court.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, Li Yuanji also gave Wang Gui, the governor ambassador, a new function, which is to observe places on Henan Road and Southeast Road that are suitable for planting.
Rice can promote rice.
Once a suitable place is observed and the area is not small, the rice being promoted in Jingzhou can be extended to Southeast Road and Henan Road.
According to historical records, rice could be grown throughout the Central Plains, and in later generations the Koreans even developed cold-resistant rice.
However, the only place suitable for planting rice now is the south. No one has planted it in the north. The seeds need further cultivation to meet the standards for planting in the north, so we must first focus on the south.
Henan Province is not the Henan Province of later generations, and it governs not only Henan Province, but also parts of Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangsu.
The water system at the intersection of river, lake and An province is extremely rich, and the internal water systems of An and Jiang provinces are also extremely rich, both of which are suitable for growing rice.
These places are among the most populous places in the Tang Dynasty. If rice is popularized, the output should exceed that of Jingzhou.
It's not that Jingzhou is not as big as these places, or that there are not as many fields as these places, but it's just that there are not as many people as these places.
Regardless of that era, talent is the key to everything.
Without people, no matter how good or big the place is, there will be no output.
Not to mention Southeast Road, the area under its jurisdiction is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions of later generations, which is a land of plenty. Although the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions already have their own rice, the rice varieties obviously do not have the three-crop-a-year abnormality of Linyi. If it can be used
If we use Linyi's rice seeds and expand the planting area, the rice production is likely to continue to rise.
Once rice is fully promoted in the four places of Henan, Southeast, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou, and there is a fixed output, then Datang will not have any food worries.
After all, there were only over 2 million households in the Tang Dynasty. If one household was filled with five people, the population would be only over 10 million.
When the existing north is already full of grain, and the south has also been developed to a certain extent, and the rice seeds with high yields are still planted, how can you finish eating it?
Couldn't finish it at all.
Your population is still too small.
As for labor force.
Datang is lacking internally, but it is not lacking externally.
There is no need for the court to issue an order for this kind of thing, the people below will take care of it.
Yu Zhining, Han Liang, Xue Shou and others have not only begun to purchase prisoners from the Sunisi, Tudiji, and Taqiang troops, they have even recently gotten in touch with people from the Western Turks and are preparing to purchase them from them.
All prisoners captured by the Western Turks on the battlefields of the Eastern Turks.
It is said that Tang Jian helped pull the strings.
Tang Jian had already hooked up with the Western Turks years ago and negotiated for the Western Turks to establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty.
Although the Western Turks did not send envoys to the Tang Dynasty, they allowed the envoys and merchants of the Tang Dynasty to pass through the Western Turks.
It was during the process of negotiating with the Western Turks that Tang Jian sent people to get to know the Zhenzhutong Qijin of the Western Turks (Qijin: the name of the chiefs of the Tiele tribes of the Western Turks, Zhenzhutong is the chief of one of the Tiele tribes)
.Historically, after the Eastern Turks came to the Wei River and obtained huge supplies, they became completely powerful and had a subtle influence on the Western Turks. The Western Turks Yehu Khan was the Tang Dynasty who sent Zhenzhu Tong as an envoy to marry the Tang Dynasty.
Princess, I hope to use this to establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty and jointly resist the Eastern Turks.)
Zhenzhutong is now one of the chiefs of the coalition forces sent by the Western Turks to the Eastern Turks.
After Tang Jian learned that Yu Zhining, Han Liang, Xue Shou and others were in urgent need of labor and did not even mind using Turkic prisoners, he helped to mediate the relationship and let Yu Zhining and others get to know Zhenzhu Tong. Now both parties
Negotiating.
After the price has been negotiated, Yu Zhining and others can purchase large quantities of prisoners captured by the Western Turks on the battlefields of the Eastern Turks from Zhenzhutong.
Not only that, Changsun Wuji, who is far away in Jiaozhou, has also begun to take action. In order to complete his own farming plan as soon as possible, he has set his sights on the millions of barbarians in the Jiaozhou mountains, as well as the people in Yizhou.
Dian people, Mengshezhao people.
Now he is tricking a group of military commanders in Jiaozhou to help him catch savages in the mountains.
It is said that a savage gave three batches of cloth.
