Man Tanghong

Chapter 575
That is to say, there was no such thing as sending plaques in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, when many women in the folk gave birth, there would definitely be officials beating gongs and drums to send plaques.

Some people may think this is an exaggeration, and feel that this level cannot be achieved when the imperial power does not go to the countryside.

But that's what it is.

Compared with those political achievements that cannot be seen, touched, or require great perseverance and great wisdom, this kind of political achievements can be seen, hard to find, and can be easily obtained.

Yamens in various places have officials who are responsible for supervising marriages. The chief officials of the yamen only need to let out the little officials and watch the married people under their rule to have children.

There is no need for the chief official of the yamen to supervise and watch in person, so it is not troublesome for the chief official of the yamen.

In addition, the imperial court has the lowest assessment standards, and those who fail to meet the standards will be dismissed from office, and those who are more serious will be assigned.

Therefore, even if the head of the yamen wants his family to live in a prosperous place, he will do his best to supervise this matter.

In this way, many honorable women have been created.

The imperial court spent a lot of money in this regard.

It is impossible for the local government to pay for this kind of expenses, so it must be reimbursed by the court.

In fact, Chen Shuda's reward of [-] to [-] is considered underreported, because if all the honorable women are counted together, the reward needed is far more than [-] to [-].

The reason why there are only [-] to [-] guan is because some local yamen, in order to encourage the people under their rule to have children, will give some unowned wasteland as rewards when they have not received the rewards from the imperial court for a long time.

Anyway, after the war disaster, there were too many barren fields without owners in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the local government didn't take these lands privately, and made a little effort to make some achievements in it, the imperial court would not say anything.

Even in order to save money, some local government offices are secretly encouraged to do so.

After all, Datang, which has a population of only 150 million households, controls a vast area, and there are countless unowned wastelands. In some uninhabited places poisoned by military disasters, there are all unowned wastelands.

If it is distributed to the common people, it can also increase part of the tax revenue. If it is not distributed to the common people, it can only be thrown aside.

It is a great waste to waste it.

This is a very helpless thing for many dynasties that have just established a country.

It is another very happy thing for many people who just settled down when the dynasty was first established.

Because when the dynasty was first established, the population was sparse and the land resources were abundant. The court had a lot of land for rewards, and the rich and powerful families also had a lot of land that no one cultivated.

At this time, there will be no land for the poor caused by land annexation.

At this time, the common people can take advantage of various favorable decrees issued by the court to seek more land and more family business for themselves.

Therefore, Datang has a lot of important land, not only a large number of idle barren fields, but also a large amount of uncultivated land.If you want money, Datang doesn’t have it, and the treasury is empty, and if you just fill in a little, it can be spent in an instant.

Li Yuanji can see that Chen Shuda has said so many things, but they all express one meaning, that is, "every penny of money in the treasury is useful, and it is really difficult to use it to repair the pavilions in the palace. You If you have to let the treasury pay to repair the pavilions in the palace, you can only wait indefinitely, but if you pay for it yourself, then there is no problem'.

Yes, Chen Shuda just wanted him to pay for repairing the pavilions and pavilions in the palace.

He is not short of this money, but he can't do the business of supplementing the public by private means. If he does, he will be tied up and sucked up for various reasons.

He didn't expect to become a poor prince with no money in his pocket in the end, so he would never spend money to repair the pavilions and pavilions in the palace.

After seeing Chen Shuda's sinister intentions, Li Yuanji glared at Chen Shuda viciously, and then said angrily: "Then let my eldest brother and second brother's family pay the money, anyway, most of the people in the Taiji Palace All the pavilions and towers were destroyed by them."

Chen Shuda stared in astonishment, "How did this happen?!"

There are only a group of women and children left in the East Palace and Chengqing Palace, and a group of them are still suffering from the pain of bereavement. Let them come to ask for money, they are not so thick-skinned.

They also have to take their own reputations into account, and they cannot do such things that bully women and children.

Li Yuanji glanced at Chen Shuda and said, "What's wrong with this? You go directly to my elder brother and second brother and they will give it to you."

Anyway, it's useless for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to ask for money now. In order to let the women and children in the house forget this grief as soon as possible, and so that the women and children in the house can't see the scene caused by their confrontation, they are absolutely willing to pay the money .

20 guan is only a drop in the bucket for them.

If they don't want to, just starve them for three days.

Anyway, as long as no one died, Li Yuan wouldn't bother.

As for the preferential treatment of father and brother, that can only be given preferential treatment after the father and brother are emptied.

Otherwise, everyone has huge sums of money, how can you treat them preferentially?
When Chen Shuda heard Li Yuanji's words, he was obviously relieved.

It's not as good as letting him bully those women and children.

However, just after he finished relaxing, Chen Shuda's eyes widened again, "Are you willing to let me see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Qin?"

Li Shimin has already been demoted to a commoner by Li Yuan's decree, so he no longer needs to be called His Highness.

After the decree of dismissing and demoting Li Shimin was announced to the world, even the king of Qin didn't need to be called.

You can call him Li Shimin directly.

Li Yuanji said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with this, can you join hands with my elder brother and second elder brother to make a little noise in the palace?"

Chen Shuda hurriedly said: "That definitely won't..."

Are you kidding, Taiji Palace has been completely controlled by Li Yuanji, Chang'an City is also gradually controlled by Li Yuanji, and Datang is also gradually controlled by Li Yuanji.

He alone can make any noise with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin in the palace.

Even at Anli Gate, if Li Yuanji didn't nod his head, he wouldn't be able to go up, and neither could Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

"Is there anything else to discuss?"

Li Yuanji ignored Chen Shuda, but stared at Li Gang and other veterans and asked questions.

Li Gang and other senior ministers reported the work of the past two days again.

Li Gang also roughly talked about everything that happened inside and outside Chang'an City during the coup in the palace, and after the people's hearts have been appeased, there are still some things that need to be done.

Pei Ju briefly talked about the impact of the several decrees that have been issued so far, and asked for some instructions.

Xiao Yu briefly talked about Prince Zhan's Mansion, King Qin's Tiance Mansion, and Xiuwen Hall after they were deposed, some of the recruiting work he did, and the results of his work.

Whether it is Prince Zhan Shi's Mansion, King Qin Tiance Mansion or Xiuwen Museum, they are all gigantic.

Once any accident occurs, it will be enough to affect the inside and outside of Chang'an City, and even the great Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, not only Li Yuanji was doing the recruiting work, but Xiao Yu and others were also doing it.

Judging from the results of Xiao Yu's report, the results of the work of Xiao Yu and others are still very gratifying.

Some petty officials attached to Prince Zhan Shi's Mansion, King Qin's Tiance Mansion, and Xiuwen Hall have all been recruited and new arrangements have been made.

Li Yuanji had to admit that what Xiao Yu and the others did was quite ruthless, and it had the effect of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot.

This is tantamount to cutting off a part of the middle and lower levels of the pyramid headed by Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, making the top group of them lose contact with the lower and even lower levels, and also making the top group of them lose contact with the lower and even lower levels. control of the lower classes.

If Li Shimin's foundation in the Eight Commander's Mansions and his contacts with some high-level officials in Eastern Shaanxi and Duji were cut off, then even if Li Shimin escaped from Anlimen, he would only be able to look around in a daze for a short time.

Li Jiancheng was completely abolished, not only the upper level of Zhan Shifu was appeased by Ling Jing, but even the middle and lower levels were dealt with by Xiao Yu and others.

Even if you regain your freedom, you can only start all over again.

However, considering that Li Jiancheng still shoulders the status of the prince and has old feelings with many important officials in the court, so he has to be locked up for a while.

"Uncle Wang, go and tell Li Youliang and the others that if they get caught without a fight, I can let the past go and let them continue to be their county kings and generals. If they persist in their obsession, then don't blame me for being rude!"

After Li Yuanji heard Chen Shuda's report, Li Youliang and other soldiers who had previously occupied Qixiamen, after learning that Li Jiancheng was imprisoned, tens of thousands of soldiers occupied the camps of Wuhouwei on the left and right, and they are still unwilling to come out. After that, he gave Li Shentong orders coldly.

Li Shentong knew what role Li Youliang played when Li Yuanji and his brothers were fighting, and he also knew what kind of guy Li Youliang was. After all the dust settled, Li Youliang still occupied the left and right sides of the Wuhou Wei camp. He was very disdainful for the behavior that came out, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Is there anything else to discuss?"

After Li Yuanji finished explaining about Li Youliang, he stared at Li Gang and other senior officials and asked questions.

Li Gang put a thick stack of documents in front of Li Yuanji and said: "The rest are some trivial matters in the local area. It is difficult for the ministers to decide, so I can only ask His Highness to be dictatorial."

Li Yuanji looked through it roughly, and found that it was indeed some local trivial matter, so he asked people to send all the documents to the Zhaode Hall, and then slowly got up and said to all the civil and military personnel in the hall: "In the future, I will discuss the matter in the Zhaode Hall. Zheng, if you have any important government affairs, you can submit them to me through the three provinces. After I make instructions, I will let the three provinces pass them back to you."

As he spoke, Li Yuanji was about to step away, but just as he moved his feet, he remembered something again, so he stood still and said: "I am going to call Wang Gui back to the capital as the imperial doctor, and call Ma Zhou back to the capital. What do you guys think about the matter?"

Li Gang and Pei Ju have been promoted and have been transferred from Yushitai, so Yushitai has no leader now.

Wang Gui's qualifications are enough to be promoted to the post of doctor censor.

Li Yuanji is in urgent need of his own people, so he plans to transfer Wang Gui and Ma Zhou back.

Wang Gui and Ma Zhou had already arranged most of the matters in Hebei Province, and the officials of the states only needed Xiao Guicao to do the rest.

So the transfer back will not affect the overall situation of Hebei Road.

When Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and others heard this, their hearts trembled.

I secretly thought... Is it still here?
