Great Tang princess

Chapter 764 Land reclamation plan

During this period of time, the folks are actually not peaceful, of course, it is mainly because of this matter that spreads to the mu.

This policy has been in trial operation for some time, and it has really put a lot of pressure on many families who passed their families through farming and studying.

Because the poll tax was abolished, this meant that the pressure on the collateral lineage to depend on the direct lineage disappeared.

In this way, although they are still relatives, there is no way to give orders to them.

After all, I don't expect you to be alive, so why should I listen to you?
It used to be possible to use the pressure of the poll tax to increase the rental price of land, as long as they didn't starve to death.

But that's not the case now. Instead, they began to have a lot of pressure on their heads.

Nowadays, the tax of the household department is calculated according to the amount of land under their name, but it doesn't matter whether you plant it or not.

Such a change naturally made those families who were originally in the boss position feel uncomfortable.

During the recent period, a large number of memorials were sent to the emperor's desk, all of which were requested to be withdrawn.

It is said that such a policy is unstable to the world, so it should be changed immediately...

To Wu Zetian, this is nothing, anyway, she doesn't think much about these things recently.

But this is a pain for the executive deputy emperor Li Xian, who feels uncomfortable facing these memorabilia every day.

"Why don't you just arrest them!" He said with a frown.

Li Yuechen, who was sitting next to him, put down his teacup: "Brother, don't talk nonsense. Although he said he wrote letters every day, he didn't openly resist taxes after all. How could the court arrest people for no reason?"

"It's played every now and then, isn't this purely disgusting..." Li Xian replied impatiently.

Wu Zetian, who was lying on the rocking chair beside him, opened his eyes: "You are the one who will be the emperor in the future, get used to it sooner."

Li Xian looked aggrieved: "It's really troublesome..."

After all, there is no way.

After all, Li Xian was raised as an idle prince since he was a child, and he has always adopted the attitude of free-range.

It is really difficult for him to imprison him in the position of prince now.

Seeing his appearance, Wu Zetian didn't bother to say anything more.

Anyway, it's been like this for so many years. With his daughter around, he doesn't have to worry about what stupid things he will do.

Feeling troubled in his heart, Li Xian threw the memorial to the side while thinking in his heart.

When the son grows up, abdicate as soon as possible, and whoever likes to be the emperor will go.

Li Yuechen also smiled slightly. Thanks to the changes in the royal family's education system, otherwise there will be a few more brothers like this in the future, and the country may be doomed.

……

In the royal family's internal classroom in the new semester, Li Yuechen stood on the podium and taught the juniors.

"Today's lesson, what you are going to learn is..."

Li Yuechen turned around to write on the blackboard while talking, and after a few strokes of "swipe, swipe, swipe", a row of beautiful thin gold bodies were left on the blackboard, "The power to sweep the world!"

"What are your thoughts on this topic?" Li Yuechen asked with his hands on the podium.

The children began to think about it, and the slightly older Li Tang raised his hand and answered, "Since it's power, it should refer to some kind of weapon, right?"

Li Yu is the grandson of Li Yuechen's uncle Li Chengqian, and the son of Ezhou Biejia Li Xiang.

Nowadays, the children of the royal family are more familiar with the current high-tech weapons, and they also understand the power of them, so it is understandable to interpret them as weapons.

Li Longye, who was sitting in the back row, put forward a different explanation: "My aunt once said that relying on strong force alone can only make people fear, not awe. Therefore, the 'strength' in this topic should be similar to the charisma of a leader. Same traits?"

Hearing this explanation, Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "Very good explanation!"

Then he turned around and wrote two words on the blackboard: Benefits!
"That's right, today's class is mainly about benefits! Only by knowing how to distribute benefits can you become a qualified leader. At the same time, if you can control this power, you will have the ability to sweep the world!"

Li Xuan raised his hand and said: "I understand. Since ancient times, the emperor and the family have ruled the world together. This is the distribution of benefits!"

"That's right, but not entirely right!" Li Yuechen nodded, "It was true back then, but this path didn't last long!"

Speaking of this, Li Yuechen wrote a few more words on the blackboard, "Land annexation."

"This is a problem that has been difficult to solve in all dynasties since ancient times. The nobles will continue to annex land and exempt them from taxes. But this part of the money must be paid by someone, so it will be transferred to the ordinary people of the country! After a long time, the people Overwhelmed by the burden, coupled with problems such as drought and famine, it will naturally lead to the decline and even death of the country!"

"That being the case, is it because the distribution of benefits is not in place?" Li Longji asked.

Li Yuechen nodded lightly: "It was in place at the beginning, but I just got the wrong partner."

"You have to understand that this world is supported by laborers, not nobles or families. Therefore, the main supporters of my royal family should not come from families or nobles, but a large number of workers and farmers. "

This answer made Li Xian's youngest daughter, Li Qiule, feel puzzled: "But if you distribute the benefits to the majority of people, wouldn't you get less?"

"That's right!" Li Yuechen nodded, "But you have to understand that although you get less, you can also accomplish things that a person would never be able to do!"

"You have to understand that human beings such as us are able to defeat all creatures, not only relying on brains, but more importantly, unity and cohesion!" Li Yuechen said.

"Actually, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, a similar method was adopted. Does anyone know?"

Li Qiule raised his hand: "I know! It's an equal-field system!"

Li Yuechen nodded: "That's right! By binding people and land together, the land equalization system is tantamount to distributing benefits to the majority of people, and thus laying the foundation for the Tang Dynasty."

"I hope you will understand that as a leader, you must learn to truly care about the interests of others. No matter whether the opponent is a high-level or grassroots party, you must protect the interests of others just as you protect your own interests."

"When we try our best to create a benign altruistic interest structure, so that everyone can continue to benefit and develop in this structure, only in this way can we gather the strength of the grassroots!"

"When the interest structure conflicts with yourself, you must also protect the interests of the public without hesitation! Because only in this way, the public can support you and support you! Only then can you gather the strength of everyone and achieve things that you cannot do alone!"

"This is the so-called unity and cohesion! When you can control this power, you will have the ability to sweep the world!"

Li Yuechen's words made the children lie down on the table quietly and think, and some people wrote down what she said.

Such a class will have an extremely profound impact on them, and this impact may last a lifetime.

To be honest, Li Yuechen didn't know how telling them now would change the future of the world.

But just like teaching those children to read in the Royal Farm back then, it is considered as a casually sprinkled seed, and maybe one of them will become a towering tree in the future.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September, and apart from the heat at noon, the temperature in the morning and evening had already brought a touch of coolness.

In the afternoon, Li Yuechen came to the stadium again and watched the players on the field run wild.

Now the skills of these players have been significantly improved, and the club is studying various tactics every day.

In addition to the method proposed by Li Yuechen at the beginning, he also researched a lot of technical moves by himself.

It's just that Li Yuechen still told them that they should try their best not to use actions that are too dangerous.

After all, football is just a game, not a real battlefield.

Athletes should know how to respect each other, instead of trying to hurt each other like enemies.

Li Yuechen didn't want the future athletes to be famous in the athlete circle for their black hands like the West Eight Kingdoms.

On the sports field, if you win, you must win with dignity.

This year's league is almost coming to an end, and the level of excitement is getting higher and higher.

Li Yuechen was sitting on the VIP stand, holding a cup of tea in his hand, humming various tunes in his mouth when he was in a good mood.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly crossed the sky, Li Yuechen looked up, it was a hang glider.

Waving to the captain of the guard next to him, Yiluoru nodded to express his understanding, and sent someone to wait outside the Xuanwu Gate.

In the second half, a guard came back, followed by a pilot in camouflage uniform.

"I have seen Your Highness!"

"No! What's the matter?" Li Yuechen asked.

The other party took out a letter: "This letter was transferred from the Northern Military Division and must be handed over to Your Highness."

Although it is said that Li Chongrun has established a military division on the northern border, the training of pilots still takes time.

So at present, there is no way to send the letter from there directly. It needs to be sent to Qingdao first, and then transferred from Qingdao.

The possibility of direct communication can only be considered after a period of time when new pilots are trained.

But the speed is also fast, the new airship is already being produced, and they will definitely be able to match them with one by then.

In fact, Li Yuechen has also considered this issue. The current land area is actually larger than that of more than 1000 years later.

Even with steam locomotives now, the communication speed is still a bit slow.

So she also considered whether to make an airplane to replace the hang glider as a new communication tool.

Of course, the plane she was thinking of was not the plane of the future, but an upgraded version of the Wright Brothers' first plane.

But this idea can only be an idea after all, even if it is the Wright Brothers' first machine, it is too unstable to be driven by the current steam engine.

It is best to wait until the research on the internal combustion engine has achieved certain results before considering this issue.

After all, the upgraded version of the No. [-] machine also needs propellers to provide power, not to mention that the No. [-] machine is not an aircraft that can really be put into use at all.

The one that is really useful should be the Wright Type II.

In fact, the principle of the Wright II aircraft is relatively simple, and someone like Li Yuechen who has played with various gliders can also make it.

But the preconditions are not satisfied now, not to mention cockpit pressurization or various complicated instruments and artificial horizons.

A single power problem cannot be solved now, and the steam engine is obviously unrealistic, so the primary goal should be to put the internal combustion engine first.

Opening the envelope and looking at it, the content of the letter is very simple, saying that there are people fleeing on the grassland who want to cross the border.

However, all these people were stopped by Li Chongrun's people, and they were temporarily arranged in the barracks, and asked how to arrange them next?

Although it is decided that these people can be sent to the south, given household registration, and then let them reclaim the land and grow various crops.

But these people are poor and white, and it is impossible to let them go, so I asked the court about the arrangement.

After thinking about it, Li Yuechen decided to go to the palace tomorrow to discuss the specific details with his mother, and then he didn't think about it any more, and watched the game with peace of mind.

……

After entering the palace the next day, Li Yuechen poured a cup of tea and discussed this issue with his mother.

Now there are only Li Yuechen, mother, brother and Shangguan Wan'er in Jixian Temple.

As for the Crown Princess Wei Lian'er who has taken over the guard, another office location has been arranged for her.

"What do you mean, the court is going to pay the money?" Wu Zetian asked while drinking tea.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Yes, of course it's not for nothing. After the land reclamation is completed, their tax ratio will be higher and used to pay back the money."

To put it simply, the imperial court can give them household registration for free, but it is impossible to lease the land to them for free, which is equivalent to letting them take loans and at the same time responsible for their board and lodging during the reclamation period.

When land reclamation is completed and crops can be planted, then taxes will be paid based on this.

The proportion of taxation will be higher than normal, but it will not be too high, at least to ensure their food and clothing.

After the money is repaid, taxes will be collected in accordance with normal laws.

Of course, after the money is repaid, there will be the next generation, almost half of the Han people.

"But this time is too long, won't it be a loss?" Li Xian frowned and asked.

Li Yuechen shook his head: "Brother, this is not a business. There is no such thing as loss or gain. In fact, this is a policy to increase the population, allowing them to take loans, just to ensure that they can stay in the new land safely and not cause trouble. "

Wu Zetian nodded: "What's more, it is true that there will be no loss. Anyway, they will return the money spent by the court. It just takes a long time."

Shangguan Wan'er on the side also put forward her own opinion: "After such a long time, banknotes should have spread all over the country. Your Highness said that inflation is a companion to banknotes, so there will definitely be no losses."

Wu Zetian turned his head: "Sanlang is the future emperor, what do you think of this matter?"

"Boy, I just need to listen to Yuechen. She said it's fine, so let's do what she says." Li Xian picked up his teacup and took a sip, too lazy to think about it.

If it was in the past, Wu Zetian would definitely be angry when he heard this.

But now I'm used to it, I just nodded and changed the subject: "The court has become rich these years, and most problems are easy to solve. Unlike back then, when I was young, the court was poor and white, and it felt difficult everywhere. "

Li Yuechen said with a smile: "Money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible!"
