Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 622 Some people are suitable for use as guns

Regarding the treatment of Ningzhou Inspector Shi Renji, Changsun Wuji and Dou Kuan offended Wei Zheng severely, and they had been finding fault with the government for several days.There is no way, he can't vent his anger on the prince, whoever let them "help the evildoers", if the anger doesn't spread on them, the old man can't eat rat meat for nothing!

Because of the rectification of Ningzhou, Changsun Wuji and Dou Kuan didn't argue too much with Wei Zheng. They ate all the rat meat and lost all face. What do they want to do with that old stubborn donkey? .

But then again, Changsun Wuji and Dou Kuan are not fuel-efficient, etc. They have suffered a loss here, so they have to find other places to make up for it, especially since Dou Kuan was fined by the emperor for a year's salary. This is not the prince's idea It was not in his temper to come back, so the two of them came to the East Palace after discussing it.

Hearing that the two came to ask for spiritual compensation, Li Chengqian, who was drinking tea, touched it directly. These two years old are not young, why are they so out of tune, and then he was speechless and could only reward each of them for three years The salary to soothe their "injured" hearts.

After finishing the chatter, Changsun Wuji brought the topic back to Shi Renji: "Your Highness, Shi Renji is considered a good official, and in terms of ability, he is also considered to be in the upper middle class among the assassins, but he paid such a high price for it." , isn't it worth it!"

The price Changsun Wuji refers to is of course not Wei Zheng, the strength of the East Palace is strong, and Wei Zheng can't do anything to the prince just because of the clean censors he brought out.There is no reason for the tax paid to the court to be returned, let alone tripled. Now that Ningzhou has opened a hole, what will the governors of the states think in the future?

The system of the Ministry of Households is the law to ensure the income of the country and the guarantee to maintain the operation of the country.Who knows if anyone will emulate the code of conduct for those who suffer less than those who suffer evenly because of the incident in Ningzhou.Anyway, there are examples of gagging out there. You can’t just set fire to Ningzhou and stop everyone from lighting the lamps.
"Uncle, you're right. You can't open the hole like this. If you open it, it may cause a chain reaction, but there is no way to do it. Who made Shi Renji fall in love with Gu?"

"Your Highness, there are people who are more capable than him. We have plenty in the Eastern Palace. Why do you value him so much, don't you, Duke Zhao!" After finishing speaking, Dou Kuan thought about his eldest grandson Wuji, and after he nodded, they all turned to him. Li Chengqian with a smile on his face.

Well, there is something that these two old fritters can't see through!After a little bit of complacency, Li Chengqian explained his plan.The most important condition for the common people to live and work in peace is to allow them to have land that they can eat.

Taking Ningzhou as an example, the clan and nobles occupy more than [-]% of the land, and this is just the beginning. As the years go by, this number will increase year by year.If land annexation is too heavy, the dynasty will be destroyed. The example of the former Han Dynasty has already been put there, and both the emperor and Li Chengqian are deeply worried about this.

Originally, when Li Chengqian built a new city in Hu County, he built a model, and then proposed a policy of relocating narrow villages to wider ones, but Li Shimin didn't agree at all.In his words, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, it was established that the nobles and relatives shared the world, and the prince was the future emperor. He could have trouble with one or more nobles, but they could have trouble with all the nobles in the world.

If Li Chengqian really pushed them into a hurry and twisted them into one rope, that force could overturn the world, even if he was the emperor immediately, he would not be able to bear it. At that time, besides abolishing him as the crown prince, another result would be chaos in the world.The emperor came out of troubled times, and of course he didn't want the prosperity he had gained over the past ten years to be ruined.

Since the upper echelons can't do it, then they should find the lower ones, but this is an errand that offends the world's aristocratic families. If it is done well, this person will become a lone minister who is spurned by officials, and if it is not done well, it will be another Chao Cuo.Li Chengqian was also a short-sighted person, and his subordinates were reluctant to fill in such a pit, and there were no suitable officials in the court, so it was delayed because of the delay.

After hearing what Dou Kuan had seen and heard in Ningzhou, Li Chengqian turned his attention to the up-and-coming Shi Renji, and he would do whatever he wanted, and someone would send him a pillow when he wanted to sleep.There are two reasons for choosing him: First, Shi Renji is a grassroots official in Xiazhou, who is familiar with the local conditions and people's livelihood, and he is the perfect candidate to respond to the system and land issues in prefectures and counties.

Second, Shi Renji is a Turkic caste. Although he has been Sinicized early, officials of orthodox background still look down on him. Take Wei Zheng as an example. Dereliction of duty, no one cares whether he really cares about the people.

Shi Renji has been in the officialdom for many years, often because he was excluded and out of tune with them, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart to those high-ranking officials, rich and unkind guys.Therefore, he will be the one to start, and there will be no restraints or soft-heartedness. The emperor and he will control the strength at will, and play the role of sending and receiving freely.As for Shi Renji himself, it's even better to say that even if he can't enjoy the grace of the heavenly family, their historians can still get it. This is also his duty as a minister to share the worries of the king!

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji and Dou Kuan both stuck out their thumbs. They were still wondering why the emperor agreed to speak to the household department so readily. It turns out that the real purpose of the father and son lies in this. This is the power of the emperor's mind.

Especially Changsun Wuji, from the smile on his face, he knew that his nephew was already a three-pointed son of heaven, and it seemed that he could rest assured in the future.

"Your Highness, when will Your Majesty and you plan to move from the narrow country to the wider country?" Dou Kuan resumed his cynical look, laughing and playing with the finger wrench he just took off from Li Chengqian's hands.

"This kind of incident will affect the whole body. The imperial court is still building roads and dams. The border is not stable enough. Your Majesty and Gu mean to look again. Anyway, the layout must be right first. When will it be returned?" It depends on the specific situation.”

It is not easy for the country to have the current situation, so it is right to seek stability in everything. Without absolute strength and a secure opportunity, it will not succeed anyway.Just like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty cutting down the vassals, it was not because of his haste that he cut the flesh with a blunt knife. Neither the emperor nor Li Chengqian would do such a waste of work. .
