Datang Longya

Chapter 989

The emperor wants to distribute power, no matter how much is revealed, it is destined to shock the government and the public.

The top figures in the Tang Dynasty were the nobility, and the nobility were divided into nobles and nobles.A noble is a person who maintains his noble status by relying on the merits of the previous or the older generation. People like Zhang Liang, even if they have not been in the military for many years, still respect him habitually.After many times of swelling reduction by Li Shimin, every Duke of the state represents that they or their parents have meritorious deeds that match their status.

A dignitary is one who has both a title and real power, especially the position in the court, each of which is very important.Entering the ranks of the fourth rank, it can be said that no matter the size of the official, they all have an irreplaceable role.

If Leng Jing became Minister of the Ministry of War and the emperor deliberately delegated power, then the Leng family would become powerful.

This is a high-risk identity. Although the powerful and powerful are prestigious, they are also worried about being overthrown at every turn.

Leng Jing did not feel complacent because of this, but felt unprecedented pressure.

Seeing his son's stupid silence, Leng Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. To put it bluntly, this change is Cheng Qian's experiment. Even if it fails, you will not be affected. Tell me, go to the soldiers What will it be like to give power?"

Leng Jing thought for a while before answering: "Only the number of troops to be transferred and the appointment of officials are the two. The current standard is that the local army must report for the transfer of more than 500 people, and the Ministry of War can independently approve orders for the transfer of 1000 people at most. I think However, this number may increase to two thousand. The transfer of more than 2000 people is a major event that really shocks the government and the public, and the Ministry of War cannot handle it independently.

As for the appointment of officials, the Ministry of War now only has the power to make independent appointments below the seventh rank, and it needs to report to the Ministry of Officials and the emperor.In my opinion, this rank may rise to rank six.Below the seventh rank, there is no need to report to other places.Dad, tell me, is this a trap? "

Although officials below the seventh rank are not very important, if they are laid, they will definitely be a force that cannot be underestimated.If it's a different person, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress my joy, and I will desperately deploy my own people to important junctures.

Leng Feng smiled, but did not answer: "How to do it, you should think about it yourself. After all, you are also a person with children, and there is no harm in being independent."

Leng Jing fell silent again. This is a delicious big cake. If you don't take a bite, everyone will be sorry, but if you bite too big, it will cause various problems.How to bite off the right piece is very important.

After getting out of the bathtub, Leng Jing went to his small study and began to think about it.

Talking with Leng Jing made Leng Feng completely relieved.The son is not stupid, and he knows when it's time to make a move, so the officialdom can let him break through with confidence.

In the next few months, the top leaders of the court stood still, while some lower-level officials kept changing like a lantern.

I don't know if it was Chang Sun Chong's idea or Chang Sun Wuji's idea to let the businessman become an official. Perhaps such a stupid idea should not have been formulated at all.Since ancient times, merchants are not allowed to be officials, and officials are not allowed to do business. This is an iron law.Some sophisticated families will even deliberately separate the family, those who are officials will be officials, and those who are in business will be in business, at least to pretend that there is no connection between the government and the business.

Now directly letting businessmen become officials will definitely cause a backlash.

Jiang Yi was furious. As Wei Zheng's successor, his temper was equally fiery, and his eloquent and eloquent memorials scared the officials and merchants to death, and they all resigned within a few days.

Businessmen failed to become officials, and institutions to manage businessmen were formed.

This time, the taxation mechanism was completely split to form an independent system. Officials like Wuli Sima appeared in some tooth shops, responsible for supervising the flow of goods and taxation.

When he saw this piece of information, Leng Feng studied it for a long time, and finally approved of this approach.

Business needs to be monitored, and businessmen cannot be allowed to mess around.A wealthy businessman, as long as he plays tricks, can make people in a state miserable.Today's businessmen are all pure, they will never do things that are inferior, but when Datang develops and enters the vicious circle where money is the big thing, it is inevitable that some people will be tempted.There is a supervisory organization, at least it will not lead to various economic crises and the emergence of deformed industries.

It is not a miracle that Changsun Wuji is back.After serving as the governor of Zhaozhou for several years, when he returned to Chang'an, he immediately became the Minister of the Household Department.As Li Chengqian's uncle, especially when Empress Changsun is still alive, the Changsun family will not decline easily.What's more, the eldest grandson's family has disciples all over the world, this is their family's heritage.

At the same time, Changsun Chong also became the servant of the household department. Changsun Wuji is not too young. It seems that the position of Minister of the household department is reserved for Changsun Chong. Changsun Wuji can sit on it until Li Chengqian's experiment is completed.

When the eldest grandson Wuji came back, all the nobles came to congratulate him, and the originally quiet Duke Zhao's mansion immediately became a bustling city.

Leng's family didn't go, since it's confirmed that they can't be friends, and they won't kill each other to the death, so there's no need to go up to congratulate or play games.Ignoring it is the best way to deal with it.

Leng Feng's guess was correct. After the eldest grandson and his son gained a firm foothold, Tang Jin became the general of the town and became a casual official of the military.

A patriarch of the Ministry of War, if he still lived in the small courtyard, would feel a little shivering, so Leng Feng took his wife, young son and daughter, and moved to the newly built courtyard, and gave Leng Jing the courtyards of Lengfu and Xiudefang.At the same time, the shadow guards, generals and retainers also swore allegiance to Leng Jing.

Today's Leng Jing has completely become the head of the family.

As for the title of Lord Protector, Leng Feng is still alive and cannot be passed on, and Leng Jing can only wait for the title to be inherited.

"Why don't you simply hand over all the property to your eldest son, and you're not afraid that no one will take care of you?"

In the new Lengfu, Li Shimin came to enjoy the autumn breeze as usual, and after eating a few cakes with Leng Feng, he lay down on the rattan chair in the garden to bask in the sun.

Taking a sip of tea, Leng Feng said with a smile: "Since Cheng Qian wants to experiment, Leng Jing doesn't have enough confidence. The heir of the Leng family is Leng Jing, just like your Zen position. Why can't I hand over the power of the head of the family?" Seriously, if it wasn’t for the title being immortal, I would have given him the title as well. The majestic Minister of the Ministry of War is still a white body, and he would shudder when he said it.”

Li Shimin said leisurely: "If you want to retire completely, it's not impossible to pass on the title. Cheng Qian told me his plan a while ago. Guess what it is?"

Leng Feng stretched his waist: "What else could it be? The king of different surnames, I know, when I was trapped in Korea, you were going to chase after me as the king of different surnames."
