Great Tang princess

Chapter 118 Institutional Reform Direction
An hour later, after Li Yuechen's careful teaching, Li Zhi was able to hold his daughter's hand and slide around the square.

Like a child, with an excited smile on his face, he quickly followed Li Yuechen to draw circles on the square.

"Get ready, turn around!"

As Li Yuechen's voice fell, the two spun half a circle at the same time, changing from a forward slide to a reverse slide, and continued to slide around the field.

Wu Zetian was lying on the rocking chair next to him, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and looked at the father and daughter on the court with a smile on his face.

Not to mention, Li Zhi's athletic talent is still good, and he has been able to skate very steadily after an hour.

Although he said he couldn't do any fancy moves yet, Li Yuechen didn't expect to teach him those.

Otherwise, if the emperor falls, the crime will be too great.

The palace maids and eunuchs passing by basically looked at the scene in front of them with a look of surprise, and then remembered not to see evil, and hurriedly lowered their heads and walked quickly.

Wu Zetian, who was watching from the side, was actually quite interested, but she didn't propose to try it, because she knew that her daughter would never forget her, and she would definitely make a pair of roller skates for her after a while.

After skating for another hour, Li Zhicai stopped with an unsatisfied expression on his face, and sat on the steps panting.

Zhang Chengxin quickly handed over two cups of tea: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, let's have some tea and rest."

"Ah."

Li Zhi agreed, and took a sip at the same time as Li Yuechen.

The only difference is that he actually took a sip.On the other hand, Li Yuechen held the tea in his mouth and kept rinsing his cheeks, then turned his head and spit it out again.

"Huh?" Li Zhi turned his head suspiciously, "Chen'er, is there something wrong with this tea?"

Li Yuechen shook his head: "No, it's just a child's habit. It's good to moisten your throat after the activity, and drink it after a quarter of an hour."

This kind of habit seems to be scientific, but it is more of a personal habit.

However, upon hearing her words, Li Zhi didn't know why he was going crazy, so he took another sip, rinsed his mouth, and turned his head to spit it out.

Wu Zetian in the back raised his eyebrows helplessly, feeling that Li Zhi was always like a child as long as he was with his daughter.

The imperial aura on his body seemed to have completely disappeared in front of Li Yuechen.

But this pot can't be dumped on her daughter. To be honest, she really wants to do this.

But Li Zhi has already played the role of a loving father, so she can only be stricter.

She got up and came behind the father and daughter: "After two hours of crazy fun, let's go back."

Li Yuechen turned his head back: "Why don't you just sit here and watch, Auntie? Looking far away can broaden your horizons and improve your mood!"

The scenery in this place is really good. After all, the imperial palace is huge. Sitting here, you can almost see the Mangshan mountain range behind the palace wall at a glance.

Hearing her daughter's words, Wu Zetian instinctively wanted to teach her a lesson, but after thinking about it, she sat down beside her.

The couple sat on both sides, and Li Yuechen sat between them, looking around, showing a cute smile: "Sitting next to grandparents, it will feel very warm!"

"Really?" Li Zhi raised his hand and touched her head, "Then Chen'er is willing to help me share my worries?"

Li Yuechen suddenly looked vigilant: "This... Grandpa let me take an official position again?"

Seeing the vigilant look in her eyes, Li Zhi smiled: "Why? Don't you want to?"

"My son doesn't have that much energy to take care of those chores..." Li Yuechen looked helpless, but then he immediately laughed: "But my son is willing to play with his parents."

"Chen'er, you also know that I am the emperor, so where do I get so much time?" Li Zhi smiled wryly, "If possible, I also want to be idle every day, and just play with you."

Li Yuechen nodded: "This kid can understand, so just talk to grandparents every day."

Seeing her daughter's sensible smile, Li Zhi smiled. She has been very understanding since she was a child.

After chatting casually for a while, it was almost dusk and it was time to have dinner, so Li Zhi got up, took his daughter and wife back to the Hall of Renshou, and prepared to have dinner together.

……

After dinner, the sun had completely set, and the Milky Way filled the sky again.

Li Yuechen bid farewell to his parents, walked out of Renshou Hall, and slowly walked back to his Anfu Hall.

At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart, now Li Zhi's attitude made it clear that he was planning to make himself a fuss.

Now that the opportunity has been presented, what can I do while it is there?

Li Yuechen had thought about reforming the system before, but this must be done slowly, not too big in one step.

If you think about it, if you suddenly reform the tax law like Emperor Yongzheng, it might directly cause chaos in the world.

What should be the first step?

As Li Yuechen walked, he looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky.

Suddenly, she asked: "Fulai, if you form a gang outside, do you think it is better to control it by yourself, or to set up a few second and third heads to work together?"

Fulai thought for a while: "From the point of view of slaves, the former may not be able to give orders in place; the latter may be betrayed at any time. But comparing the two, slaves should still choose the former, after all, confidantes can nourish."

Li Yuechen nodded: "For now, I think the same as you."

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen made up his mind.

The reform of the system must not be too big in one step. Emperor Sui Yang did this once, and everyone saw the result.

But I have to mention that his vision is still very strong. Whether it is the first emperor Li Er or the current father Li Zhi, the general direction of the policy is basically his.

So Li Yuechen decided to divide the next plan into two steps.

First, after the paper workshop has researched low-cost paper, it needs to complete two steps.One is to allow more people to read, and the other is to publish newspapers and control public opinion.

Once the newspaper is published, it seems that the policy of the imperial court can be quickly distributed to various places.

At the same time, the distribution right must be in the hands of the royal family, so that at least most ordinary people can know what the emperor intends to do.

In this way, if there is someone in the middle who is obedient and contradictory, you have to weigh it.

The second step is to find a way to transform the current aristocratic political system into a bureaucratic political system, so that the imperial power is highly centralized.

Just like the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial power can be said to be quite stable.

It is said that Emperor Wanli did not go to court for decades, and many ministers had been in court for a lifetime without knowing what the emperor looked like.

But even so, the throne is still as stable as Mount Tai.This is the result of the high concentration of imperial power.

Of course, Li Yuechen was also very clear about the final results of the Ming and Qing dynasties.Therefore, this stage is only a transition and cannot be the result of system reform.

But for now, there is no need to worry about the follow-up, let’s do this first.

When it is really done, let’s talk about the follow-up reforms!

After confirming this point, Li Yuechen nodded and quickened his pace towards Anfu Hall.

After returning to the hall, they found that the two older sisters were chatting with Shangguan Wan'er in Linbo Pavilion.

Seeing Li Yuechen coming back, Shangguan Wan'er trotted over: "Why does Your Highness always come back so late these days?"

"If you become an official one day, you will understand." Li Yuechen rubbed her face.

Princess Xuancheng next to her thought for a while, and asked with some uncertainty: "Chen'er, how about I also ask Grandpa to be an official?"

"Ok?"

Hearing these words, not only Li Yuechen, but Princess Yiyang and Shangguan Wan'er were also taken aback.

"Why does my sister want to be an official?" Li Yuechen asked, "I can't wait to be an official as soon as possible."

Princess Xuancheng thought for a while: "I have finished all the questions you gave me, and the list of craftsmen and supervisors is also very simple. I feel that it is a bit boring to stay in this palace all day. I want to do something. "

Good guy, is this the essence of a school bully starting to rise?
Li Yuechen couldn't help but smiled: "Then books like "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" have also been figured out?"

"Almost." Princess Xuancheng nodded, "Most of them are fine."

Li Yuechen nodded, turned around and waved to Shangguan Wan'er: "You go back first."

She also knew that the follow-up topic might not be suitable for herself to listen to, so she agreed to salute and went back.

In Linbo Pavilion, there were only three sisters Li Yuechen and Fulai standing beside them.

Li Yuechen didn't intend to let him avoid it, it might arouse the suspicion of his mother Wu Zetian, so it's better to let him listen by the side.

"Sister, being an official is not a good thing, especially you."

When he said this, Li Yuechen blinked his right eye slightly at her. Since Fulai was behind the left side, it was impossible to see her.

"Well," Princess Xuancheng nodded to express her understanding, and then suddenly smiled, "It doesn't matter, I just want to find some challenging math problems to do."

Seeing that she could understand what he meant, Li Yuechen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "If you want to talk about challenges, there are actually some. Tomorrow, I will teach my sister some difficult questions."

"Okay." Princess Xuancheng nodded in agreement.

……

At night, Princess Yiyang who was lying on the bed opened her eyes: "You have gone too far today."

Princess Xuancheng next to her smiled wryly: "Perhaps she has gotten carried away with herself in recent years, right? I couldn't hold back for a moment and said it."

Princess Yiyang approached her ear in a low voice: "Chen'er is protecting us now, the empress can't tell. If we are caught, we may lose our lives!"

"Don't worry, sister, I understand, I won't make any demands in the future." Princess Xuancheng nodded.

Only then did the two sisters relax each other, holding hands and looking at the ceiling, they didn't want to sleep for a while.

Do they have hatred for Empress Wu?there must be!
But at the same time, they also know that if their mother Concubine Xiao Shu was the one who won the victory, the fate of Empress Wu might not be much better.

Court struggles have always been so cruel.

It's good to have Li Yuechen protecting them now, if not for this younger sister, I'm afraid they are still suffering in Yeting Palace.

They also knew that it was impossible to seek revenge from Empress Wu, and they didn't ask for anything else in this life, as long as they could live safely.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Yuechen did not go out, but gave the last mathematical knowledge in his mind to Princess Xuancheng in the hall.

This was already high school level math, and most of it she had little impression of.

As for the university level, don't even think about it, Li Yuechen is in the sports university, which focuses on long-distance running.

But even high school mathematics knowledge is already far ahead in this era.

After spending three days, Li Yuechen taught Princess Xuancheng all the high school mathematics knowledge he could still remember.

"Sister, I will learn one thing in arithmetic in the future, and I am no longer able to teach you." Li Yuechen had a smile on his face, "The rest, you can only figure it out slowly by yourself."

"That's not necessarily the case." Princess Xuancheng smiled, "For example, your explanation of 'force' and 'qi' last time, but I couldn't figure it out anyway."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Yes, but those are just occasional gains, and you can't force them."

……

On March [-]th, Lu Zhaolin got married and invited many relatives and friends to congratulate him.

Li Yuechen asked Fulai to follow someone and gave him a big red envelope, but he himself did not go.

After all, she is a princess of a country, and everyone's attention must be on her after she goes there.

When someone gets married, why should I grab the limelight in the past?
Anyway, he didn't have to go to class during his marriage, so Li Yuechen took a carriage out of the city, planning to go to Mangshan to see how the blast furnace was being built.

At the foot of Mang Mountain, there are also forbidden troops stationed again, so there is absolutely no need to worry about safety.

It was very troublesome to go up the mountain with a carriage, because the road conditions were too bad, and the bumps were much worse than usual. Li Yuechen felt that if he continued to bump like this, his butt would be useless, so he jumped off the carriage and walked up.

The place where the blast furnace is made is not too high. Firstly, it is necessary to consider the transportation problem. Secondly, there is a large natural platform here, which is about three feet high.

The craftsmen's method is to dig a groove on the protruding side of the platform, and insert half of the blast furnace into it.

In this way, loading and so on can be done on the upper platform.

Seeing Li Yuechen approaching, the craftsmen dropped their work and came over to salute.

Li Yuechen raised his hand to excuse them, while he stood aside and observed.

After a while the problem was discovered.

Due to this natural platform, they only need to rest for a while, but a lot of materials need to be transported up from the bottom of the mountain.

The road up the mountain is crooked, everyone carries a big frame, like a mountain worker, the efficiency of this thing is really bad!

Li Yuechen walked to the edge of the cliff on the other side of the platform and looked down. Fulai who was next to her hurried over and pulled her: "Your Highness, be careful, in case..."

"Don't scare me so I won't fall." Li Yuechen waved his hand and looked down.It was found that although it was steep, it was a large and flat slope.

As for the distance from the foot of the mountain to here... visually, it should be about twenty feet.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen took two steps back, lowered his head and meditated.

When I was young, I heard from my grandfather that it seemed that in their time, when they were working in the commune, they used a relatively light-hearted thing. I wonder if I can try it here?

"Let's go back to the palace." Li Yuechen immediately waved his hand, "Call two carpenters over tomorrow!"
