Great Tang princess

Chapter 572 Imperial System
Early the next morning, after reading the solution written by Li Yuechen, Wu Zetian asked the pilot to send it back without making any comments.

She had discussed with her husband many years ago that her daughter might know the future fate of the country, but telling such things might reveal the secret, so even though she was curious, she didn't ask too much.

But she believes that her daughter must be for the good of the country, so as for the future development plan, all she needs to do is listen to her.

This is not a reckless approach. After all, Li Yuechen has been full of mystery since he was born, and he has researched countless novelties since he was a child. Wu Zetian is extremely reassuring about her.

To put it bluntly, no matter how bad it is, it is much better than the other sons.

Just as she was thinking about something, Li Yuechen ran over and took her by the hand and walked out: "Don't think about those things, Auntie, it's hard to go out of the palace, just play and relax."

While talking, he dragged her to the beach, and several other brothers and sister-in-laws also came over.

Li Xian took Wei Lian'er's hand and asked curiously, "Yuechen, what can we do today?"

"Well, let's try diving today."

After speaking, he brought them to the deck, and then began to explain the usage of various diving equipment, and let each of them experiment.

After talking about the basic knowledge that needs to be paid attention to, let them go to change clothes, and then receive their respective equipment.

Wu Zetian stood on the deck and looked out. He felt that the undulating sea seemed bottomless, and he was worried: "Chen'er, there will be no problem, right?"

"Don't worry, Mom, it's fine with me here. Besides, this kind of oxygen bag can't dive too deep." Li Yuechen explained with a smile.

The current oxygen bags are made of cowhide, which is still too soft to withstand excessive water pressure at all.

If you want to go deep, you can only do it naked without any equipment, but then there will be a limit on the time to hold your breath. Except for Li Yuechen, other people probably don't have this ability.

So this dive did not choose a place that is too deep, basically near the shallow sea.

After everyone changed their outfits, under the guidance of Li Yuechen, they finished the warm-up exercises and sank into the sea little by little.

Before entering the water, Wu Zetian was still very scared. As her limbs and body were gradually wrapped by sea water, she could feel a sense of oppression before her head went down.

The feeling in the sea is definitely different from that in the bathhouse, especially when the sea water is submerged above the chest, it can feel that breathing becomes obviously more difficult.

Fortunately, the daughter held her hand, but she was not too scared, and slowly submerged completely into the water.

This is a shallow sea. The sunlight can penetrate the water surface and directly shine on the bottom of the sea which is less than ten feet deep. You can see the corals and all kinds of fish swimming around on the bottom of the sea.

After the sunlight is refracted by the water, it is not dazzling here, but looks very soft here, and this softness also makes the scenery of the seabed in front of you cast a layer of psychedelic color.

The moment my head entered the water, I felt that the world suddenly became much quieter. Except for the occasional sound of sea water surging, I couldn't hear anything else.

It was as if all the sounds were blocked out for an instant, and even the sound of the bubbles spit out when using the mask to breathe became much lower.

Li Xian and the others all opened their eyes wide, looking at the dreamlike scene on the bottom of the sea, they were so surprised that they forgot to move. It was only after Li Yuechen waved his hand to remind them that they kept swinging their feet, driving their flippers, and letting their figure slowly follow her. Forward.

In fact, Wei Lian'er and the others can't swim, but diving has nothing to do with whether they can swim or not. Anyway, there are various protective measures here.

What's more, Li Yuechen is always watching them. If there is an accident with that one, she and the surrounding guards will send them to the surface of the water as quickly as possible.

The scenery on the bottom of the sea made these people who had never dived feel novel, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by sea water to the fullest, and following Li Yuechen's gestures and instructions, they constantly shifted their attention.

Suddenly a few dolphins swam over here from a distance. This reminding creature made everyone feel a little panicked. Wu Zetian, who had been holding his daughter's hand, couldn't help but increase his strength.

After all, creatures of this size are already capable of attacking humans, and this is still in the water, and the combat effectiveness of humans is severely restricted.

However, Li Yuechen waved his hand to tell them not to pay attention, then he easily released his mother's hand and swam towards the dolphins.

These dolphins are already familiar with the humans here, and they come to play from time to time.

Originally, Li Yuechen didn't want them to get too close to humans, just like a dog, if he just pretended to squat down to pick up rocks but didn't hit it, sooner or later it would get used to it.

But then I thought that dolphins and dogs are still different. This kind of biological intelligence is much higher than that of dogs, and it can still distinguish between good and bad.

What's more, the most important thing is that no matter what kind of creature, at least within a few thousand years, it is impossible to defeat humans.

He stepped forward to touch the smooth skin of a few dolphins, and then Li Yuechen waved to them, indicating that they could also come and touch them.

Li Xian was more courageous. Seeing that there was no danger, he was the first to swim over and reached out to touch it.

The first feeling in the hand is smoothness. In terms of the touch of human hands, the skin of this aquatic animal is very smooth to the touch, as if it can slip away from the hand at any time like a stream of water.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, the others boldly stretched out their hands and stroked him. To them, this was an extremely novel feeling.

Most terrestrial animals have long hair on their bodies. Whether cats or dogs, they feel the same to the touch.

But it was the first time they touched aquatic animals. This feeling is no less than a child suddenly getting an interesting toy.

Li Yuechen, on the other hand, had already started spitting bubbles with the dolphins next to him, and he seemed to be having a good time.

One of the dolphins kept rubbing against her, expressing their closeness.

Wu Zetian next to her saw her daughter having fun, and couldn't help shaking her head slightly. She really wasn't suitable for sitting on the dragon chair. For her, she probably liked this kind of freedom more than power.

……

In the next few days, Li Yuechen took them to play around, and at the same time visited the village and other places.

Including the sun salt field, they all had a look. Looking at the salt grains that were almost spread all over the floor, Wu Zetian leaned over and grabbed a handful and rubbed them in his hands, with a feeling on his face: "It used to be extremely precious. Things, but now they are worthless..."

"The existence of technology is to reduce the cost of living..." Li Yuechen said with a smile, "When the grain output continues to increase in the future, some people will not have to continue farming, and instead create new industries and new jobs."

"A new industry...for example?" Wu Zetian asked.

Li Yuechen pointed to the shipyard beside him and said, "Look, Ma'am, these craftsmen in the shipyard don't farm the land. They rely on handicrafts for a living. In the nearby villages, most people also make a living by fishing and selling seafood. The money will be exchanged for food. In the future, someone will be able to grow fruit and sell the fruit in exchange for food...even including these soldiers here."

"Although there are vegetable fields in the military camp, they are more for education purposes. The vegetables grown are actually not enough to supply the entire military camp. It can be said that all the soldiers do not farm the land nowadays."

"This is what can be seen today. In the future, there will be more industries that cannot be seen, such as textiles, construction, etc..."

Li Xian on the side suddenly asked, "Then why can't we have it now?"

Li Yuechen shook his head: "Brother, you must understand that the system must match the productivity. The current food production can only feed these off-production soldiers. It is already very good. If new industries are developed at this time, it will lead to fewer farmers. The result is that the price of food will skyrocket, and the bottom peasants who cannot afford to eat will rebel, and the country will fall into turmoil again..."

"No wonder you didn't take out the looms in the palace." Li Xian nodded to show that he seemed to understand.

"Yes, if the country is to have long-term peace and stability, it is necessary to ensure that the citizens are fed and clothed. On this basis, if there is room left, we can develop new industries."

Li Yuechen is very clear that a large gap between the rich and the poor is not a problem in itself, as long as ordinary people can be fed and clothed warmly, and their lives are guaranteed, no matter how large the gap between the rich and the poor is, it may cause dissatisfaction, but at least the country can still guarantee Stablize.

Wu Zetian agreed with her statement.

As long as there are no internal problems, the foreign enemies are easy to solve, not to mention that there are no foreign enemies at all now.

……

After playing here for a few days, Wu Zetian also felt that it was time to go back.

After all, he is the emperor of a country, and it is already very capricious to leave the palace occasionally to play, and he still has to go back when he should go back to work.

In the evening, sitting in the living room of the villa, Wu Zetian explained his plan to go back while drinking tea.

Shangguan Wan'er was somewhat unhappy, after all it was hard to be with His Highness, and she was ready to go back after only five or six days.

But since she was a child, she was able to tell the difference between serious and serious, and she didn't show it. She was just responsible for making tea and pouring water at the side with peace of mind.

Regarding the mother's idea of ​​going back, Li Yuechen expressed a little bit of reluctance: "My mother has only been here for a few days, wouldn't it be good to spend more time here with the child?"

"If you are willing to inherit the throne at this moment, how about my mother being with you every day?" Wu Zetian asked back with a smile.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing these words, Li Yuechen immediately became deflated.

For her, sitting on the dragon chair is a very torturous thing. Once her personality, which is close to ADHD, is fixed in the palace, she will really go crazy one day.

"Aniang, why don't you always talk about this matter? There is no conflict between the two parties."

Wu Zetian picked up the teacup: "A country cannot live without a king. If you stay outside for too long, how will you deal with government affairs?"

"Could it be that A Niang discovered that this situation is just right?" Li Yuechen asked back, "General government affairs can be handled by the prime ministers. As the emperor, A Niang only needs to read the report after they have handled it. There are really important military affairs. When it's time to decide, isn't it too late to ask Auntie?"

Wu Zetian nodded in agreement with this, not to mention, at least judging from the reports these days, the prime ministers handled the matter very well.

Apart from the trouble they felt with the case on the first day, there was nothing else.

Li Yuechen strikes while the iron is hot: "In my opinion, it's better to take advantage of the situation and change the cabinet, so that in the future, Auntie doesn't have to do everything by herself when dealing with government affairs."

This proposal obviously aroused Wu Zetian's interest, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Tell me in detail."

After coming to this era, Li Yuechen was familiar with the history books, and found that before the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister had great power, almost like an executive deputy emperor. In a sense, he was no longer a "subject", but a partner with the emperor. relationship.

Therefore, when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty founded the three provinces and six departments, he essentially divided the power of the prime minister into three, limiting the power of the prime minister.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the group phase system was established, which was essentially to split the power of phases. From the beginning of Tongzhong Shumenxia Sanpin to the current Tongping Zhangshi, the original intention was to split the power of phases.

This set of methods proposed by Li Yuechen was intended to gather all the current prime ministers and form a cabinet to let them handle government affairs.

Everyone has the right to make suggestions, but in the end they still have to vote. To put it bluntly, they let them fight among themselves, and the emperor just needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

It seems that part of the power has been transferred, but the emperor has enough power in his hands to remove the prime minister or even dissolve the cabinet at any time, so he doesn't have to worry about being ostracized.

As long as the army and public opinion are in the hands of the royal family, there will be no big waves for the cabinet.

What's more, it is impossible for the cabinet of more than a dozen positions to completely unite to fight against the emperor, and their internal struggles are also continuous.

The method proposed by Li Yuechen is a bit like the system in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The only difference is that the royal family controls the army and public opinion, and there are intelligence agencies monitoring the world, so there is no need to worry about being deceived by them.

What's more, the fundamental reason why the emperor was deceived was that he grew up in the imperial palace since he was a child, and all the sources of news outside could only be through the descriptions of the ministers, and he didn't know the specific situation at all.

But now, the future royal children will join the army, see the outside world with their own eyes when they are young, and become emperors when they grow up. It is impossible to be easily deceived.

Why were the founding emperors of all dynasties not deceived?It is because they know very well what is going on outside the palace, and no one can fool them.

Not to mention that with the gradual improvement of hang glider and hardened road surface in the future, the efficiency of information transmission will increase again. It will not be so easy to fool the emperor.

After listening to her daughter's description, Wu Zetian nodded and decided to give it a try.

At present, I am sitting on the dragon chair. Even if this system fails, the infamy will not fall on my daughter, and it will not affect her possibility of inheriting the throne in the future.

Li Yuechen didn't know that so far, his mother still hadn't completely let go of the idea of ​​letting her inherit the throne in the future.
