Great Tang princess

Chapter 810 Personal Secretary
The siblings didn't chat for too long, and after deciding what to do next, Li Xian left.

However, Li Yuechen thought about how the country should develop in the future.

The first thing that must be made clear is that class solidification should be avoided as much as possible, otherwise it will easily lead to the upper class no longer seeking development and the lower class to be completely desperate.

After more than 1000 years, not to mention, at least the two neighbors next door belong to a representative country with solidified classes.

Needless to say, the cabinet is almost a complete version of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.

There are too many members of Congress, I dare not say, but at least half of them are from political families, and the bottom-up channels are almost completely blocked.

In this case, the people have no hope of rising, and the so-called low-desire society begins.

Maybe this is not the direct reason, but it must be one of the reasons.

Compared with them, Xibaguo is a mental hospital disguised as a country.

Although the class is solidified in the small days, at least it will not be too obvious.

However, the West Eight Kingdoms completely divide the citizens into three, six, and nine classes. Not only are the social classes clearly defined, but the classes are also extremely strict.

When they meet for the first time, they will basically ask about their age and birthday, so as to sort out the relationship between seniors and juniors.

This relationship is not only accurate to age, but even accurate to month, day, and even hour!

Those who are older than you are seniors.So we must respect our predecessors!
And this kind of respect, in return, is not the care and help of the seniors, but more often violence and bullying.

Of course, the seniors themselves will not admit it. In their view, this is some "lessons" taught by the seniors to the younger generations, and it is a reasonable behavior.

The scary thing is that this is an unspoken rule that is recognized in the society of the West Eight Kingdoms!
In other words, the society does not think this is a crime, but takes it for granted.

Not to mention other industries, just say that on the field, it is not uncommon for coaches to yell at athletes or even directly slap melon seeds on their faces.

This is true for sports games, but this behavior is even more common in other industries and even in the workplace.

In the circle of athletes, it also happened that they were pushed to the ground and beaten because they did not greet their seniors respectfully.

And the most intuitive consequence of this kind of society that divides people into grades and grades is that the birth rate is the lowest in the world.

The survival pressure of ordinary people is unprecedentedly high, which is hard to imagine in other countries.

Even if it is said that superiors control subordinates in Asian cultural circles, it is very common to require obedience.But it is the only one in the world that can achieve such an extreme.

It's almost comparable to the caste system, if not worse.

Li Yuechen doesn't want the Tang Dynasty to become like that in the future, so the design of the system must keep up with the development.

What should be done next is to find an opportunity to abolish slavery, completely eliminate slavery, and switch to employment.

But this kind of reform cannot start immediately, and a practical problem must be considered.

That is the current slaves. After being abolished, how should they survive if they do not have the skills to make a living?
This matter is only an idea at present, and the specific implementation still needs a lot of discussion.

The other is the thorough reform of the tax system, which is now being implemented on a per-acre basis. After the autumn harvest, this year's tax statistics will be released, and it will be more perfect by then.

To determine the proportion of personal income tax and the starting point for collection, there will be more and more off-duty occupations in the future.

Especially with the development of the industrial revolution and the rise of the service industry, there must be a suitable starting point for collection.

At present, Li Yuechen's idea is that the personal monthly income exceeds 50 yuan as the starting point for the collection.

Whether it will work or not, we will have to ask the Ministry of Accounts to make a total calculation at that time.

……

These things are temporarily written down as a plan, and do not need to be implemented immediately.

Compared to these, Li Yuechen decided to solve the immediate matter first.

I went to the Academy of Engineering early the next morning and asked them to make two hemispheres.

In order for the experiment to be successful, a rubber mat and a simple pumping bucket should also be made.

This thing is actually quite simple, just like the principle of a needle tube, just open an opening in one of the hemispheres and make a valve.

After drawing the blueprints, they asked them to find a few apprentices to make golf balls and clubs.

At present, pure rubber balls are too precious to be used.

So Li Yuechen asked them to use wood to make it, and then it would be good to wrap it with a layer of rubber.

The other is the venue. Nowadays, the Xuanwu Gate is basically near the military area, which is not suitable for building such a playground.

After thinking about it, I decided to put it outside Shangyang Palace.

About twenty miles west of Luoyang City, it is a good place.

The terrain has ups and downs, and a little tidying up can make a very good golf course.

The grassland is basically ready-made, just plant a few trees according to the arrangement at that time.

Sand pits and ponds are also very easy, just dig a small canal to divert the water.

Well, I can also take this opportunity to train some caddies, and then I can explain the rules and so on to the customers who come to play.

This is a whole industrial chain in itself, and if it can be developed, it will undoubtedly be a good thing to stimulate the economy.

So in the next few days, Li Yuechen was basically perfecting the golf course plan in the Princess Mansion.

……

On July [-]th, Li Yuechen, who finally finished writing the plan, arranged it neatly, took it into the palace, and planned to show it to his elder brother.

After all, it will depend on him, the emperor, to advertise at that time, so he must be familiar with the process in advance.

When he came to Jixian Temple, Li Yuechen threw the plan in his hand to his elder brother, letting him read it slowly, while he sat down and drank tea.

Hearing that there is something interesting, Li Xian naturally cannot miss it.

After reading the memorial in hand, I couldn't wait to open it and read it.

It stands to reason that there must be a lot of curiosity when a novel thing comes into contact with for the first time.

But I don't know if Li Xian is particularly savvy in playing games, and he really didn't pull Li Yuechen to ask questions.

Li Yuechen was drinking tea, waiting to answer his brother's question by the way.

But after a short time, Li Chongrun also came to Jixian Hall.

Probably did not expect her to be there, and the expression on her face was a little curious: "Why is aunt here?"

"Leave me alone, aren't you all engaged? Are you not ready?" Li Yuechen asked with a smile.

"It's already being prepared, but it's somewhat troublesome." Li Chongrun replied, "It's said that we won't let them see each other until we get married..."

Li Yuechen expressed his understanding: "Hey, after all, the customs..."

"But my nephew sneaked into Lu's house last night to meet her, and no one noticed!" Li Chongrun said with a smile, with a slightly smug expression on his face.

Hearing these sudden words, Li Yuechen froze in place for a moment, not knowing how to reply.

But I really didn't expect this kid to be so courageous that he could do such a deviant thing.

"Speaking of which, how can you be used in these aspects when the troops teach you how to climb high and low?" Li Xian frowned suddenly, and couldn't help but began to teach him a lesson.

Compared to his younger sister Li Yuechen, although the emperor Li Xian was already a relatively open person, he was still a person of this era, and the education he received since childhood was also based on respecting customs.

So when he heard his son actually did such a thing, he subconsciously began to teach him a lesson.

Li Chongrun couldn't help but smiled: "Grandpa, I am in love with her. Besides, we are engaged, why do you care about those?"

"You..."

"Okay, okay, these little things won't happen." Li Yuechen waved his hand, preventing the elder brother from teaching the next lesson.

Then he changed the subject directly: "How do you feel about this flying ball?"

That's right, although Li Yuechen brought the gameplay over, the name golf was too foreign and was not adopted.

But Li Yuechen himself is not good at naming it, so directly naming it Flying Ball can be regarded as concise and to the point.

Anyway, there are also names like birdie and eagle in golf.It doesn't matter if it is called a flying ball.

After all, it is meant to fly out, maybe you can even make a hole in one!

Seeing that his sister stopped him from teaching his son, Li Xian didn't say anything further.

He also knew in his heart that the education his son had received since he was a child was different from his own.

In dealing with many things, he must be much better than himself, at least capable of writing and martial arts.

Sister Suo Xing also gave me a step, so she didn't bother to say anything more, and nodded instead: "It seems that the gameplay is simple, and the whole process is quite interesting..."

"Well, I have already found a good site, and I will start working in a while." Li Yuechen replied.

Li Xian asked, "How long will it take?"

Now he can't wait to try this new way of playing.

"No rush, it's nothing more than digging a few holes and transplanting a few trees. It won't take long. Just before the autumn harvest, we can hire some people to do the work." Li Yuechen replied.

The decoration of the stadium is actually quite simple. If you hire a few more people, everything can be done within half a month.

In August, the autumn harvest will be almost ready, so these people just go back to collect grain.

Li Xian also knew that he had to wait a little longer, so he didn't urge him, so he waited with peace of mind.

……

After drinking a few cups of tea, Li Chongrun asked, "Grandpa called me here today, what's your order?"

Li Xian picked up the teacup: "It stands to reason that you princes and princesses have to be served by someone. But now that you are all in the army, this matter will be left behind. But now the young eunuchs in the palace are not available, and I want to ask you how you are." look at it."

Having said that, he turned his head and said, "It just so happens that Yuechen also gave an idea."

This is indeed a problem that the royal family is currently facing, that is, as life gets better and better, the main source of eunuchs has been cut off.

Since ancient times, there are roughly three types of eunuchs in the palace.

One is that the family member committed a crime and was sent to the palace;
The other is captured captives or slaves...

But these two kinds belong to the minority. The main source of eunuchs is that some families who can't eat enough will sell their children to the palace as eunuchs.

There are also people who voluntarily enter the palace because they are alone and have no living skills, so they have no choice but to enter the palace in order to eat.

But the problem is that Lianzao was abolished many years ago, resulting in the disappearance of the first source.

Since the Gaozong period, the output of food has gradually increased, and people who cannot afford to eat have gradually disappeared.

So in these years, there are no people who sell their children or enter the palace voluntarily.

As for those captives... After all, they are dangerous restless factors, so Li Yuechen has never sent captives to the palace when he went out to fight these years.

This has directly led to a sharp drop in the number of eunuchs in the palace today, and most of them are elderly.

Now the youngest eunuchs are all in their 20s, and they can be considered middle-aged in this era.

The younger eunuchs can't be found at all, they don't exist at all.

Now Li Chongrun is not in the army every day. Under such circumstances, it is the emperor's day again, so it stands to reason that an eunuch should be sent to the palace to take care of him.

Just like Sun Jingbang, he is the same age as Li Xian, and has been by his side since he was a child.

This kind of relationship that grows up together is often closer than that of being sent to the side after growing up.

But now Li Chongrun is gone, and Gao Lishi, the youngest at the moment, manages the banknote printing factory and cannot be transferred away casually.

In addition, the youngest eunuch is almost 40 years old, considered an old man in this age.

So Li Xian was worried about this matter.

"Grandpa, don't worry, the child has been in the army since he was a child, and he doesn't need anyone to serve him!" Li Chongrun waved his hand.

Li Xian raised his eyebrows: "Stop talking nonsense! Your majestic prince, how can there be no one around you?"

In fact, in the final analysis, serving is still a trivial matter, the key is that there must be no one around.

After all, he is also the emperor's son, so he must show what he should do.

No matter whether he will become a prince or an emperor in the future, he must have this servant by his side.

The prince's child doesn't matter, but the emperor's child cannot live without.

Li Yuechen lowered his head and thought for a while, and it was true, but he had thought about abolishing eunuchs before, and it would be too troublesome to find another one.

So he turned his head and said: "Anyway, it's just a secretary. There are no eunuchs. Just pick a maid. Now these maids have undergone strict training, and they can also serve as guards..."

"Is this wrong? After all..." Li Xian frowned.

After all, eunuchs are eunuchs, and some jobs are only suitable for eunuchs.

Especially the personal secretary, who basically knows all the secrets of the master, if something is revealed, it will cause big problems.

"No problem, the eunuchs themselves will gradually disappear, and they should learn to adapt." Li Yuechen nodded and said.

Li Xian thought for a while: "It's not impossible, it's just that they are all soldiers after all. They can't be treated like other court ladies, this..."

"Don't worry, when you retire, just change someone." Li Yuechen waved his hand, "At the same time, change the password and password, and don't worry about leaking any confidential issues."

Besides, soldiers need to sign a non-disclosure agreement when they are discharged from the army. If they speak out, they will violate the military law and their heads will be beheaded.

Under the double insurance, coupled with the generous treatment after retiring from the army, Li Yuechen believes that they know what to do.

The retirement fees of these court ladies are different from other soldiers, they are not settled in one lump sum, but paid out every month.

One is to ensure their lives after they leave the army and prevent them from selling out secrets if they have problems in their lives.

Second, it can be regarded as a kind of supervision.
