Newly formulated policies, such as the previous tax law, will be tested in Huayin and Chang'an first, and will be implemented in the entire Guanzhong and even the entire territory of the Han Dynasty after achieving good results.
But this is not enough. Even if the experiment is only conducted in Chang'an and Huayin, it may cause unpredictable riots or cause unnecessary losses because the policy is not in line with the people's hearts.
With Yang Jian's guidance and correction behind his back, we can effectively avoid formulating policies that are ineffective and instead waste people and money.
For Yang Jian, after so many years of joys and sorrows of life and death, his desire to dominate has long been shattered. He is now more interested in his sons who are not yet adults and the belly of his daughter, and he is even more looking forward to when he can hold them.
A child who is a grandchild is more like an old man who has retired and has nothing to do.
Precisely because his mood calmed down, Yang Jian sat opposite Li Xinchen, which made Li Xinchen feel more and more like an ordinary person, while the person opposite him was an enlightened monk.
However, this enlightened monk was not without emotions and desires. When he looked at his daughter beside him, there was still deep love in his eyes.
Yang Jian spent almost the first half of his life striving for his grand dream, but now this dream has been shattered and can no longer be realized.
Of course, the dream of restoring the status of the Han people and establishing a unified Han dynasty did not disappear. Li Xingchen was a very good successor and was even about to realize this dream.
This also makes Yang Jian feel more and more that he no longer needs to be involved in the chaos of the world. He can guard his children every day and watch them smile. Is there anything more gratifying than this?
As for what Li Xingchen wanted to ask him, he naturally told him everything he knew. And if Li Xingchen didn't ask, Yang Jian didn't say much.
This is also what Li Xingchen admires the most.
After all, Yang Jian is Yang Jian, he can take it but let it go. I am afraid that only such a heroic figure can create the prosperous age of the Han and Tang Dynasties, right?
Picking up the tea cup handed over by his daughter, Yang Jian took a deep sip and said with a smile: "Clear tea has the fragrance of fresh tea, and camellia oleifera has the mellowness of camellia oleifera. They are all different."
Green tea is the tea that southerners prefer to drink. It is actually just boiling water to make tea. Camellia oleifera is more like the tradition of ethnic minorities on the northern grasslands, and it is now widely spread in many areas in the north and even the south. In fact,
It is made by boiling tea with ginger, dogwood, lard and other things. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it broth. This kind of tea has a mellow taste and is best for dispelling cold.
"There is also a gap between the south and the north. My father-in-law might as well follow the local customs this time." Li Xingchen said with a smile.
Yang Jian has no official position and is young. The only connection with Li Xinchen is his two daughters. Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that one is a more appropriate one. After all, Yang Lihua is only holding the title of female official now, and she will never admit that she is Li Xinchen.
A woman just regards every encounter with Li Xingchen as a deal she has to make.
Of course, this kind of transaction has become more and more frequent recently.
Therefore, Li Xingchen preferred to call Yang Jian "father-in-law", as if he were a family talking, rather than a monarch and his ministers talking to each other. Yang Jian was also a former leader, and was even only one step away from the throne.
He was naturally happy with Li Xinchen's way of referring to the relationship between the two as family members. If Yang Jian really bowed his head to Li Xinchen respectfully, Yang Jian would definitely not be willing to do so. It was precisely because Li Xinchen's attitude was so sincere and humble that he
Yang Jian didn't mind calling him "Your Majesty".
"Yes, it has been three hundred years, and the north and the south have finally stood together again. But the estrangement of three hundred years cannot be eliminated so easily." Yang Jian's voice was a little heavier.
Although he had already left the center of power and was almost leaving the world of mortals, his heart still moved when he thought of this incident.
Li Xingchen nodded: "I am going south this time because I have been in the north for too long and it is impossible not to consider the thoughts of the ministers and people in the south. Moreover, for the first time, the new policy of the imperial court was promulgated in the north first. The thoughts of the people in the south are also unknown.
, I can't just ignore it, some things still have to be done, and I even have to use a knife."
Before Yang Jian could speak, Yang Miao beside him became nervous: "Your Majesty, are you going to kill people when you return to the south?"
Yang Jian and Li Xingchen were startled for a moment, and exchanged glances. Yang Jian laughed loudly and said, "Ah Miao, this is wrong. Without blood, how can people know the power of the imperial power? Without killing people, how can people know the determination of the imperial court to reorganize its structure?"
?”
Yang Miao pouted and stopped talking, while Yang Jian had nothing to do with his kind-hearted daughter. He could only shake his head and said directly: "So after your Majesty returns to the south, how much drastic action are you going to take?"
"The promulgation of the tax law in the north is a test of the south. I don't expect to directly break up with the southeastern gentry, but if they really intend to obstruct the implementation of the tax law and other laws that have not yet been promulgated, then I don't mind attacking them.
They took action." Li Xingchen's voice was also a bit colder.
Regardless of the law or the academy, in the final analysis, they are all to limit the power of the aristocratic family. It is reasonable for the aristocratic family to counterattack, and Li Xinchen has already disliked them. If he can use the power of the Northern Expedition to sweep across the country, Li Xinchen will
Of course I don't mind.
It is always a good thing to solve the family's problems as soon as possible.
The big man is now moving forward quickly, and the aristocratic family has become the biggest cancer in the big man's body.
"It's been three hundred years, it's time for a change." Yang Jian said, stroking his hands, "If things don't change, this person will die in this court."
"How can people die?" Yang Miao couldn't help but wonder as she couldn't understand what His Majesty and her father were talking about anymore.
Li Xingchen has positioned the conversation with Yang Jian as an intra-family communication, so Yang Miao is not unqualified to speak.
Li Xingchen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "People have become accustomed to the current system. The upper-class families get something for nothing, while the lower-class families and common people will never get ahead. If things go on like this, the children of the aristocratic families will not want to make progress, and the children of the poor families will also lose their struggle.
If a person loses his fighting spirit and loses his spirit and enterprising spirit, isn’t he just dead?”
Yang Miao was stunned and nodded.
And Yang Jian smiled and said: "You are a little girl, you are not very old, you have a lot of problems."
Yang Miao smiled and pulled her father's sleeve: "Then His Majesty said, if you don't understand, just ask, don't pretend to understand!"
Li Xingchen and Yang Jian laughed immediately, and Li Xingchen shook his head helplessly: "Bring me out to block your father's mouth, you can count on it."
