Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 843 Rules Are Made To Change

Chapter [-] Rules are for changing
The Tang Dynasty was still going through the hustle and bustle, and Li Yuan, who had become addicted to playing imperial power, saw that Li Jiancheng was powerful, so he gave Li Shimin the credit for quelling the Fugongyou Rebellion.

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng's desk was stacked with thick documents.Li Jiancheng was in a depressed mood, especially after accompanying Li Yuanji to visit Li Xiuning's "illness", Li Jiancheng's mood became even more depressed. However, Li Jiancheng still buried himself in the official documents before the case very seriously, rubbing his forehead tiredly while mourning sigh.

Wei Zheng walked in.

Li Jiancheng raised his head, let out a long breath and said, "Erlang's move is really very clever."

Wei Zheng was noncommittal, sat on the seat next to him, and began to help with the official documents.

Li Jiancheng continued to murmur, "Unexpectedly, Erlang, who only knew how to fight and kill on the battlefield, can now use such ruthless conspiracy methods."

Wei Zheng said indifferently: "Everyone is subject to change. Besides, there are so many talents in the Tiance Mansion. In fact, he has no choice but to choose from King Qin's side. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he can compete with His Highness the Crown Prince now. You die!"

Li Jiancheng said with a wry smile: "Fu Gongyou and Jiang Zuo's family have been in the same bed, but Erlang led the army of tigers and wolves to the south, Jianghuai will surely flow into rivers of blood!"

Wei Zheng suddenly said: "Zeguo Jiangshan enters the battle plan, the living people have no plans to enjoy Qiaosu. According to Jun Mo's words, the matter of being a marquis, one will be successful and all will be destroyed."

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with some surprise and said, "Once a general is successful, his bones will be exhausted, but Xuan Cheng still hits the nail on the head!"

Wei Zheng said seriously: "This poem was not written by me, but by Madam Chen!"

"Chen Ying?" Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Unexpectedly, Chen Ying could see through it thoroughly. With the millions of people in Jianghuai, how many people can be spared with swords and soldiers?"

Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness is worried about the livelihood of the people in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Wei Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Zheng has a plan, which can save the people in Jiangzuo from the disaster of war!"

Li Jiancheng quickly asked, "What's Xuan Cheng's plan?"

Wei Zheng said lightly: "Actually, Du Fuwei has no choice at all!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "The matter of Tianlao has made him have a great enmity with the generals of King Qin's lineage."

Wei Zhengdao: "So, if Du Fuwei doesn't take refuge in the crown prince, he will die in the hands of King Qin sooner or later. For the current plan, only one person is needed to explain this truth to him."

Li Jiancheng hurriedly asked: "Then who is the right person to send?"

Wei Zheng raised his head from the official document, thought for a while and said, "After all, he is a king with a different surname, so let me go through it myself!"

……

Wu Wangfu, at this time, because of the influence of Chen Ying, a butterfly from another world, history began to fork in the road.Because Li Xiuning did not die of illness like in history, and Li Xiuning came forward to save Du Fuwei.Now, although Du Fuwei has been deprived of his official positions, such as the Minister of the Ministry of War and the post of Prince Taibao, he has been deprived, but he is still alive and well.

However, Du Fuwei was very clear.The Jianghuai army rebelled with Fu Gongyou. Fu Gongyou will never be the opponent of Li Tang's court. He may win for a while. Li Tang's court can fail once or twice, ten times and eight times. Fu Gongyou only needs to fail once. Will die without a place to bury.

Fu Gongyou failed his trust and deserved to die, but the tens of thousands of brothers and sisters in the Jianghuai Army were innocent.

Du Fuwei gritted his teeth with hatred every time he thought that Qin Wang Li Shimin would have the blood of tens of thousands of brothers from the Jianghuai Army, staining his promotion path red.

But now, Du Fuwei is already a bird in a cage. He can only sit and watch the life and death dilemma of tens of thousands of Jianghuai army brothers, but he has nothing to do.

Du Fuwei drank one cup after another. He wanted to use alcohol to anesthetize himself. However, the more he drank, the more Du Fuwei was not drunk, but the more he drank, the more sober he became.

At some point, Wei Zheng folded his hands, looked at Du Fuwei lazily and said: "My lord, if the crown prince doesn't care about you anymore, who can be your backer?"

Du Fuwei casually put his feet on the table and said: "A certain family will switch to King Qin."

Wei Zheng sneered, turned his head unexpectedly and said, "King Qin will never lack a warrior like you—"

Du Fuwei's expression froze.

Wei Zheng continued: "What's more, you saved the crown prince in the prison of Dali Temple. This is all the military generals of King Qin's lineage who have forged enmity. Once King Qin gains power, these generals will inevitably gain power one after another. When the time comes, Is King Qin partial to them, or to you?"

Du Fuwei put his feet back angrily, glared at Wei Zheng and shouted: "A certain family will die, what's the point?"

Wei Zheng leaned his body forward slightly, and said word by word: "Although the Tang Dynasty is big, there is only one person who can protect you from wind and rain, and that is the prince—other than that, you have only one way to die!"

"How happy is life? Why bother to die?" Du Fuwei sneered: "A certain family is a hero after 18 years!"

Wei Zheng said coldly: "Then I don't know what you think about the tens of thousands of brothers in the Jianghuai Army. Your Majesty really wants to take them and make a comeback after 18 years?"

When Du Fuwei heard this, it was like a lightning strike.

Du Fuwei, except for his younger brother Du Fude, is alone and has nothing to worry about.

He is now trapped in Chang'an, life is worse than death, and he really has no fear of death.

However, what he couldn't let go of the most was the tens of thousands of brothers in the Jianghuai Army.These brothers are all from poor backgrounds, without power and power, and they followed him in the rebellion, but they couldn't survive.When the Tang Dynasty had a decisive battle with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, he originally had an absolute advantage, helping Tang Ze Tang Xing and Zheng Ze Zheng Sheng.

At that time, Du Fuwei was dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's excessive expropriation and excessive greed, dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's cronyism and self-reliance, so he led tens of thousands of Jianghuai troops to surrender to Tang Dynasty, in order to let these bitter brothers have a family background, so that they can live well and live a prosperous life. Peaceful days.

However, Du Fuwei did not expect that Fu Gongyou would cooperate with Du Yan, let alone that Fu Gongyou led tens of thousands of Jianghuai troops to rebel and openly proclaimed the emperor's establishment.

Now, although Fu Gongyou relied on his ingenuity to win a small game, it still hasn't changed. The comparison of strength and weakness, once the Li Tang court uses good generals, Fu Gongyou can still be easily eliminated.

Du Fuwei looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Can you save the lives of tens of thousands of brothers from the Jianghuai Army?"

Wei Zheng nodded, then shook his head and said, "Most people can be saved, but some people must die, such as Fu Gongyou, Zuo Youxian, Zhang Shanan and others!"

"They deserve to die!" Du Fuwei said angrily, "They all deserve to die!"

Wei Zhengdao: "You don't have much time. The King of Qin has already taken command. He will send troops from Chang'an to Jianghuai. Although it is thousands of miles away, the cavalry under King Qin's command can reach Jianghuai in less than half a month. Once King Qin arrives in Jianghuai, the Jianghuai army will There must be blood flowing like rivers, the only way to survive is in their own hands, as long as they kill the chief villain Fu Gongyou and the accomplice Zuo Youxian, most of the officers and soldiers of the Jianghuai Army can be pardoned!"

Du Fuwei's eyes flashed.He said solemnly, "What do you need me to do?"

Wei Zheng said: "Give me Kan Leng and your five hundred adopted sons, let Kan Leng go south to Jianghuai, kill Fu Gongyou before the King of Qin, regain the military power, and then surrender to the Tang Dynasty!"

Du Fuwei shouted coldly: "Kan Leng!"

Kan Leng, who was as majestic as a big bear with a Mo Dao on his shoulder, strode forward and said, "Father handsome!"

Du Fuwei pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "You obey Mr. Wei!"

Kan Leng said displeasedly: "Father, Li Tang has no good people!"

"You bastard, shut up!" Du Fuwei yelled coldly, "I haven't apologized to Mr. Wei yet!"

Kan Leng had no choice but to apologize to Wei Zheng!

……

After Chen Ying returned to Chang'an from the beginning, he was forgotten by the entire court.Chen Ying was also happy.Chen Ying accompanies Li Xiuning to recuperate from his illness, and at the same time acts as an extraordinary dad, teaching the four children Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang, Li Siye and Chen Qian.

Since returning to Qinglinli from Furong Garden, Chen Ying began to focus on managing his Datang University of Technology.With the arrival of professors from the Jiangzuo family and the Hongnong Yang family, Datang University of Technology has also become full of talents.

However, what depressed Chen Ying the most was that Li Jiancheng ran towards Qinglin every now and then.

As long as Li Jiancheng arrives, in order not to put on clothes, Li Xiuning has to panic and put on makeup quickly, but as time goes by, He Yueer's disguise skills are becoming more and more superb.

In Chang'an, Li Jiancheng watched with his own eyes that from a piece of barren land in Qinglin, a new city was erected in just four or five years. Regardless of the name of Chenjiabao, the population has already exceeded [-]. , placed in the whole country of Tang Dynasty, it is definitely Shangxian.

What makes Li Jiancheng most curious is that Chen Ying is like a rich boy, never short of money.Sometimes, Li Jiancheng was jealous of Chen Ying's money.

At this time, the New Year's Eve is getting closer, and of course the court has a lot of money to spend at this time.For example, there are 48 founding dukes and 22 vassal kings. There are hundreds of founding princes. As for the uncle and baron, there are thousands.When the Chinese New Year came, the imperial court wanted to pay a salary, and Li Jiancheng couldn't help worrying every time he saw that the treasury was almost depleted.

Li Tang was built on the ruins of the Sui Dynasty, so Li Jiancheng knew very well how the officials and nobles of the Sui Dynasty, in just over [-] years, the wind of corruption has penetrated into this once powerful country. All aspects of the empire are eating away at the foundation of the empire, and the last bit of execution ability left in the empire is used to plunder the people's fat and anoint them.

In the 13th year of the great cause, Yang Guang still issued an imperial decree to use 100 million shi of grain in Kaixing Luocang to relieve the victims (this was not fabricated by Lao Cheng). However, at that time, corrupt officials still did not forget to transfer the money from the court to Draw at home.

Then, the Great Sui Dynasty collapsed. Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, paid great attention to this issue, so he formulated a very harsh system. was executed.

Although Datang has only been founded for six years, Li Jiancheng has already smelled a strong stale and rancid smell from top to bottom.

As a prince with ideals, integrity, and a bottom line, Li Jiancheng sincerely asked Chen Ying for advice on how to deal with corruption.

"Human nature is inherently good, and it is impossible to completely eradicate this point!" After hearing Li Jiancheng's statement, Chen Ying spread his arms and said helplessly: "The current problem of the Tang Dynasty is actually that the gap between the rich and the poor is too large. The clan is too strong, but the common people are too weak, even you, the crown prince, are too weak. You simply can’t compete with these clan clans. As far as the emperor is concerned, you are the one who loses, because those aristocratic families have a lot of backers in the court!"

Li Jiancheng looked sad when he heard this.

When Datang dealt with the corruption issue, it often only started with a head.There is no way to go further in the future. Every time we crack down, we can only catch some small shrimps.

Land annexation was the biggest problem of the Sui Dynasty.In order to prevent the Guanlong Group from crazily enclosing land and making Guanzhong no land available, Yang Guang adopted a roundabout strategy. He moved the capital of the country from Chang'an to Luoyang.

However, Yang Guang still failed.

The biggest fundamental reason for Yang Guang's defeat was not that he was incompetent, not that he was too exaggerated, nor that his steps were too poor, but because he touched the cheese of the family's family, and the family's family began to counterattack, and Yang Guang became a tragedy.

In fact, Yang Guang has been fighting with the family members all his life, but in the situation where the whole court is full of family officials, Yang Guang can be said to be the enemy of the whole world. Although Yang Guang is not afraid, the key is that he has no real executors.However, the poor family officials couldn't bear the collage and temptation of the aristocratic family, and failed Yang Guang's trust.

Li Jiancheng's heart is quite heavy.

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng dejectedly, so he explained: "Actually, the aristocratic families are not invincible. There is another trick, which is to let those aristocratic families see investment methods that can gain more benefits than occupying the land, so that they Lost interest in the fields!"

Li Jiancheng said anxiously: "What good plan do you have?"

Chen Ying stood on the attic, pointed to the tall chimney in the distance, and said with a smile, "I have already told His Royal Highness the method!"

Li Jiancheng looked at the chimney, still confused.

Chen Ying had no choice but to explain: "Actually, the simplest and most direct way is to set up workshops! Look at the iron workshops, phosphate fertilizer workshops, carriage workshops, agricultural tools workshops, furniture workshops, flour mills, etc. that I have established over the years. Waiting for these workshops, how much money they make! The iron factory has been given to the imperial court, and the carriage workshop now earns at least tens of thousands of tubes a year. The flour processing workshop alone... Don’t look down on it, a small mill can make a profit at least a year There are hundreds of mills, but the input cost of a mill is only [-] or [-] mills, and it takes at most five or six corns to fully manage it. If all winter wheat is promoted, the mill alone can add tens of thousands of mills!"

Li Jiancheng still felt a little embarrassed and said: "No one has ever done such a thing as setting up a workshop, it's against the rules..."

For thousands of years, the Chinese have been guarding a dozen acres of land, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and passed down from generation to generation. The small-scale peasant economy has long been deeply rooted in the soul of the Chinese people. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for them to set up factories.

The population of modern China has exceeded 13 billion, and it has been increasing, but the cultivated land has not increased by an inch. On the contrary, it has been decreasing, but there has been no trouble. What is the reason?It relies on the words "world factory".

The factories that bloom all over the country provide farmers with another way to get rich besides farming. The income of working in factories is ten times that of farming, and relying on this salary can solve the problem of food and clothing.

If you still rely on agriculture as in the past, relying on 18 billion mu of arable land to support 13 billion people, believe it or not, you will be poked into a big basket right away?When the industry develops to a certain level, the industrial tax will completely replace the agricultural tax, and the agricultural tax can be canceled, and even some subsidies can be given to farmers in turn. For farmers, this is a great thing.

Li Jiancheng looked confused.

Chen Ying laughed and said: "Rules are meant to be changed. There was no blast furnace steelmaking in Datang before, but since adopting blast furnace steelmaking, Datang's steel production capacity has increased by more than a thousand times than before. Just like now, ordinary people The kitchen knives at home have been replaced with high-carbon steel, why not use iron kitchen knives? Idiots also know that steel kitchen knives are better than iron kitchen knives!"

PS: The contract of the Great Wei Overlord has been sent out. If there is no accident, it will be ready on Monday.
