Man Tanghong

Chapter 387 Prepare for the Development of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal

Concubine Yin De will also be unlucky, and the son named Li Yuanheng born to Concubine Yin De may not have a good time either.

But what did all this matter to him?

Just sit and watch the show.

Anyway, this is a super drama full of human relationships and emotions, and it will never disappoint.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that Li Yuanji didn't speak, Li Xiaogong just curled the corners of his mouth meaningfully, and keenly sensed that there might be something wrong here, so he hurriedly moved closer to Li Yuanji, and hurriedly asked: "Is there any problem here?"

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong, picked up the teacup by himself, took a sip carelessly, and said unceremoniously: "Is there any problem? It has nothing to do with you."

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was even more sure that there was something wrong, and suddenly became more anxious, "Don't, what's the problem, please tell me quickly, so that I won't be tricked again."

Li Yuanji pondered, thinking about whether to disclose some news to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong should be the only one who is more reliable among his many allies.

If Li Xiaogong fell, he would cut off his own arm.

So it is necessary to reveal a thing or two to Li Xiaogong.

But it cannot be disclosed in vain.

"It's okay to talk to you, but you have to do something for me."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong with a smile and said.

Li Xiaogong stared like a copper bell, and shouted: "Are you taking advantage of the fire?!"

Li Yuanji put on a posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and said with a subtle smile: "You just say whether you can help or not?"

Li Xiaogong was afraid of being tricked by Li Shimin, he really didn't dare to be tricked anymore, he immediately gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Help!"

Li Yuanji nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "But before I talk about this, I have to ask you one thing. I asked you to send people to Yizhou to do it, how did it go?"

Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and said: "The distance between Yizhou and Chang'an is not short, plus the road to Shu is difficult, how can it be so fast?"

Li Yuanji nodded, expressing his understanding.

After all, the transportation in ancient times was inconvenient, and the road to Shu was difficult, so it was reasonable to spend a little more time.

However, what should be urged still needs to be urged.

Li Yuanji didn't like to see people who offended him continue to jump up and down the Tang Dynasty.

"Speed ​​up, it's best to finish this matter before the spring plowing. If I'm right, my father should implement the decree to change the Hussar's Mansion into the Commander's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion into the Governor's Mansion during the spring ploughing." .”

Li Yuanji spoke slowly.

Li Yuan has been making rumors about this decree for a long time, and the people who should test it have almost done it. Except for some people who are dissatisfied with this decree in a small area, there is no disturbance in a large area.

With Li Yuan's temperament, after testing the attitudes of everyone in the government and the opposition, and finding that there are no powerful figures to resist, he will definitely carry out this decree without hesitation.

And the best time to implement this decree is during spring plowing.

During spring plowing, almost all the government soldiers would be farming in the fields, but they had no time to follow those low-level military officers who were dissatisfied with this decree to resist Li Yuan.

Therefore, some low-level military officers who are dissatisfied with this decree will not make much noise even if they will make trouble at that time.

Li Xiaogong was obviously stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "The sage has already made a decision?"

Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation.

Li Yuan has nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing.

During the War of Unification, Datang needed a lot of soldiers and horses to help expand the territory, and it could tolerate the excess of soldiers and horses in some local hussar mansions, and even tolerate some local hussar mansions following the old system of the former Sui Dynasty. Great autonomy.

But the war of reunification is over, and these hussar mansions with excess soldiers and horses, hussar mansions that follow the old system of the former Sui Dynasty, and hussar mansions with considerable autonomy must be rectified, sorted out, and revised.

And on the basis of all these, we will further improve our troops and streamline our administration.

After all, Datang's population is only that small, and after being enslaved by a large family, there are not many people who can pay for Datang.

After excluding the royal family's expenses, the salaries of civil and military officials, and the expenses of various government orders, not only did they have no surplus, but they owed a lot of money to the internal treasury. They could not afford too many soldiers and horses, and there was no need to raise Some imperial courts did not use soldiers who did not have much combat effectiveness.

In the past, there were enemies inside, and they could subsidize these people by seizing a large amount of money and food from the enemies.

Now that there are no enemies inside, there is no way to subsidize these people by seizing a large amount of money and food from the enemy.

Then they must be streamlined and reduce the expenditure of the court.

Even so, the imperial court is still in a state of making ends meet, but it is better than spending several times or ten times of income.

Governing a country is a long-term process, not something that can be considered overnight.

Therefore, even if the money in the internal treasury has been overflowing, we cannot slack off because of this, let alone give up thinking about long-term development issues.

Li Yuan looked like a confused emperor in front of his sons.

Be as confused as you can be.

But in terms of state affairs, he was a very shrewd emperor.

And it's as smart as it gets.

He didn't care much about the small direction, and even left it to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's two sons to deal with it, but in the general direction, he grasped it very firmly.

So far, it has not been heard that the minister has given advice to Li Yuan because of Li Yuan's handling of state affairs.

So far, none of those who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty said in their proclamations that they were dissatisfied with Li Yuan's handling of a certain state affairs, so they rebelled against the Tang Dynasty.

So don't look at Li Yuan's indulging in wine, sex and wealth all day long, you really think that Li Yuan is not capable.

In the general direction, Li Yuan walked very steadily.

Almost step by step, very few mistakes.

"Now the world has just been at peace, is your father not afraid that the world will be in chaos again?"

Li Xiaogong didn't know how steady Li Yuan was in state affairs, seeing Li Yuanji nodding, he felt that Li Yuan was poking a hornet's nest.

Li Yuanji was obviously taken aback when he heard Li Xiaogong's words, "Didn't we discuss this issue before? No one in the government and the opposition who can speak up is against it. Then no matter how much other people object, it won't cause any big waves."

The attitude of those who can speak up and down in the ruling and opposition parties not only represents the will of all levels of the court to a certain extent, but also represents part of the public opinion.

Under the circumstances that some people in Xiaoxiao who can speak up in the government and the opposition acquiesce to Li Yuan's decree, if any troubles arise, it will not cause any disturbance at all.

Is it true that Datang's sword is not good?
Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande, all the tyrants in troubled times with the support of aristocratic families, have not been able to resist the blade of the Tang Dynasty, how can the young people be able to resist.

"Having said that, I always feel that if the saint really does this, there will be a lot of waves."

Li Xiaogong was still a little worried.

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Xiaogong, and said angrily: "Is this something you should be worried about? Or is it something you can worry about?"

Li Yuan, an emperor, is not worried, so why worry about you, a clan who was assigned to the position of general in the Zuojianmen mansion for the elderly?
Can you be the master of Li Yuan?
Li Xiaogong blushed a little from being teased, rolled his eyes angrily, and didn't speak any more.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji continued to talk about business with Li Xiaogong, "Before, my second brother sent me a message that he intends to hand over the canal from Luoyang to Yuhang to me.

I can still deploy some manpower in Jiangbei, but when I go to Jiangnan, I will be blind.

You should have recruited a lot of people when you pacified all parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

Let them all come out to help and help me set up the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang.

If possible, water transportation from Yuhang to Yangzhou estuary will also be built. "

When Li Xiaogong heard this, he subconsciously stood up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted nervously: "Don't talk nonsense, what manpower did I recruit in Jiangnan? I didn't recruit any manpower.

When I handed over the position of chief executive of Jingzhou and all the positions related to Jiangnan, I also handed over all the people who obeyed my orders.

I have no one available in Jiangnan.

not even one! "

At the end of Li Xiaogong's speech, he emphasized it with a serious face.

Li Yuanji gave Li Xiaogong a blank look, and said angrily: "Okay, don't put on airs with me. Don't I know who you are?"

Without waiting for Li Xiaogong to speak, Li Yuanji added: "I don't understand what the nature of my Li family is?"

Li Xiaogong opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Li Yuanji said angrily again: "There are no outsiders here, who are you pretending to see?"

Li Xiaogong pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Ghost knows if you will sue me."

Li Xiaogong was bitten by a snake once, but he was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Li Yuanji said speechlessly: "Now that you know how to be cautious, why did you go early? Besides, even if I sue this kind of thing, my father will turn a blind eye and will not care about you at all. "

In the early days of his business, Li Yuan gave full play to his nepotism.

Therefore, the Li family is everywhere in Datang.

During the political war, the Li family also had great autonomy, and they could almost appoint officials at all levels below the fifth rank in the city that was just captured.

Under such circumstances, some surrendered ministers who have just been recruited and are in a rough mood, who don't bow down and worship?
In this case, the people of the Li family can't do without recruiting people.

If you don't solicit, the ministers will not agree.

Without you as the backer, without you to support him, his magistrate is not at ease.

This is how a large part of Li Shimin's subordinates came.

They were not only impressed by Li Shimin's ability, not only by Li Shimin's personality charm, but also by Li Shimin's identity as the second prince.

With the backing of the second prince who has a high status and authority, the surrendered ministers and generals will feel at ease, and will not have to worry that Li Yuan will take their heads anytime and anywhere.
