Datang first village

There is a conspiracy, there is a conspiracy. .

After the twelve governors praised Li Yuanxing, Dugu Xiude immediately said: "Before His Royal Highness came down, the Holy Majesty had a chat with us. It has something to do with the official square."

Guanfang?

Guanfang means that the state-owned enterprises of later generations belong to state assets, that is, the money received belongs to the state treasury.

It's just that Li Yuanxing couldn't guess in what mood Li Er was talking about this matter with these people.

Is to find someone to discuss, or have another idea.

But from the eyes of these governors, Li Yuanxing saw something different.Not only the governor, but Cui Junsu had his eyes closed.

good!Li Yuanxing understood why Cui Junsu had remained silent from the beginning to now.Originally, Li Yuanxing didn't care about it, but now Cui Junsu wants to push him to this official place. If you don't compete with the people for profit, you don't mean the emperor and the people, but the court and the people.

Some businesses were done by the imperial court, and the common people were also doing it.Then the result is that the imperial court's policies, officials' approvals, and various issues will be more convenient than ordinary businessmen.

The national treasury does not only refer to the Ministry of Households, strictly speaking, it should be the road treasury, state treasury, and county treasury.

The Huxian County that Li Yuanxing took over was so worn that the county magistrate didn't dare to eat meat, and he didn't have the extra money to buy meat. After wearing an official uniform for three years, even if it was worn out, he had no money to buy a new one.

Even in rich counties, there are times when money is needed.

It is impossible for the national treasury to pay for road construction, bridge repair and other expenses. Naturally, the common people donate some, the county treasury donates some, and some benevolent people who want to accumulate virtue make up for it.Only the part retained by taxes is far from enough for expenditure.

Guanfang is an opportunity to let Curry have some money, some things to do, and political achievements.

Li Er also knew the benefits, but he was also not sure, so he listened to the opinions of these officials.Now when it comes to Li Yuanxing's statement, Li Yuanxing asked: "So, what do the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households mean?"

"It can be done!" The two ministers said in unison.

"In my opinion, it can be divided into Guoguanfang, Daoguanfang, Zhouguanfang, and County Guanfang."

"Great principles: public and private government and the people are equal and the government does not compete with the people for profit. Tianying Pavilion has come up with a plan for this detail, and we will act according to your opinions. Right now, Guoguanfang actually already exists. Railways, shipyards, and salt fields. In the future The airship transportation is also under the control of Guoguanfang. What else can we discuss with Tianying Pavilion!"

Li Yuanxing felt that since he wanted to do it, he should do it in a more refined way.

The principle of equality between public and private officials and the people, even in the later modern times, has been continuously studied by scholars and tried to improve it, but there are still many imperfections.

Perfection is impossible, try to be relatively fair.

After speaking to the governors, Li Yuanxing turned around and said to Li Er: "Brother Huang, besides fair terms, the official square also has another role, that is, to regulate the balanced development of the economy of various industries in the Tang Dynasty. This can only be achieved slowly. Slow improvement, and since we are opening a shop for business, it is normal to have some profits and some losses, and it is easy to say if you make a profit, but what if you lose it?"

"It's fine if you can't plead guilty. I'm afraid that what the king of Qin said needs to be discussed!" Du Ruhui said.

"It should be discussed, and this matter should be discussed carefully!" Cui Junsu's attitude sounded fair.

Official squares are one thing, in other words, big aristocratic families have their own businesses and industries.Are they united or competing with Guanfang.Is it mutual benefit or contradiction.Even Cui Junsu didn't consider this point clearly.

If it is a union, then how to divide the profits and how close the union is is the degree.

Too close, the rise and fall of the aristocratic family is bound together by the Tang Dynasty.

If they are not close enough, there will inevitably be some scheming families who take this opportunity to take the position and replace the original big families.Especially under Li Yuanxing's "hero mother" policy, this possibility will be greatly increased.

Conversely, with competition.The aristocratic family has sufficient status in the officialdom, and it is to help the court compete with their own family, which is impossible for individuals, and everyone has selfishness.But if you help your family to fight against the imperial court, you will be courting your own death, and it will also implicate your family, and at least it will be a moment for political enemies to attack.

True justice is hard to achieve.

Speaking of conflicts, the conflict between the aristocratic family and the imperial court has been excessively intensified. In the current Tang Dynasty, at least in the next 50 years, who would dare to confront the imperial court?King Qin of the Tang Dynasty alone is scary enough, plus Emperor Xian, Princess Lanyue, and Princess Mingyue.Can you fight?

But the matter of the official square, let alone Cui Junsu, no one can stop it.If they stop them, countless second-class families will jump out to support them. At that time, they will be left passive.

Why not support it now and discuss a reasonable plan, at least the initiative is still in hand.

Cui Junsu thought carefully, and everyone else also thought deeply, even if it was the royal family or the royal relatives.Whether it is for the consideration of the royal family, for the court, or for the family.This matter is really worth discussing.

"Let me think about this matter carefully, and if I have a good suggestion, I will give it to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Whether it is public or private, the affairs of the official workshop must be opened.

"The last thing my king wants to provide today is military affairs and civil affairs. Also, we need to discuss it!" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he nodded to Li Er.Li Er understood that Li Yuanxing was talking about disarmament.

Disarmament, of course, is not to reduce the number of troops, but to keep the best soldiers and get rid of the unimportant ones.

"The first is the reform of the government soldiers. The government soldiers no longer need to be soldiers during the slack season, and they no longer need a lot of preparations. The government soldiers are divided into two, one is the soldiers, and the other is the guards. The soldiers are aware of the bandits. , There are not many bandits right now, so there must be soldiers, but not too many, mainly elite soldiers. Besides, the guards are for maintaining the law and order of the prefectures and counties.

"Your Highness is talking about standing soldiers?"

"At the age of sixteen, unless you are admitted to the state school, you have to serve in the army for three years. There are many males in the family, and there are many strong males in the county. Some people can be exempted. These people will naturally be able to go home after three years. .Unless they are recruited for a major war, they will no longer serve in the military. The part of the labor service will be converted into money, and the money will be used to hire people who are willing to earn the wages to work."

Li Yuanxing's proposal this year was approved by Li Er.

In Li Er's mind, the soldiers trained in this way will be elite soldiers in a real battle in the future.

"The Twelve Guards are no longer permanently stationed in Chang'an, but stationed in war zones. The garrison treasury supplements military expenses, and each war zone is directly under the control of the Ministry of War. The guards of each province are only responsible for the security of the prefecture and county. If this is the case, the governor's military power will be weakened. You have Just give your opinion!"

After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he sat down.

"Your Highness, do we need troops on Henan Road?"

"No need, Henan Province and Jiangnan Province do not need garrisons." Li Yuanxing replied truthfully.

The governor of Henan Province breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a good thing to lose military power. Don't worry about it. I have no objections to Henan Province. But there is one more thing. The military expenditure of the military troops in Henan Province every year If there is less, what should I do with this part of the money and the extra soldiers?"

"National conscription, after the soldiers in Henan Province have been trained, they may be sent to any garrison. That part of the money is reserved for the guards, and the excess is handed in." Li Yuanxing did not avoid this topic, very straightforward Just ask for money, soldiers, and food.

"I support Jiangnan Road!"

There are already two supports.

Li Yuanxing said again: "Lingnan Road, Liaodong Road, Hedong Road, and Longxi Road. The governor is the governor, and the general is the general. Those who hold two positions, of course, must manage government affairs and military affairs. If there is only one position, the army, Or Guanmin. These four ways, it is impossible to go to the military within five years."

"I don't want military power!"

It was not these four ways, but the Governor of Jiannan Road who spoke.

"My road is difficult, and the folk customs are chaotic. According to His Highness, it is not easy to be a guard alone. It is very hard to guard against the spit." The Governor of Jiannan Road said this, and asked Li Er He made a salute: "My lord, it's not that a courtier is not loyal, nor is he unwilling to contribute to the Tang Dynasty. If there are a few words that are forbidden, the lord can let someone speak!"

Only these officials dared to speak like this.

They are all senior officials of the second rank, in charge of a business, and they dare not appoint anyone who is not trusted by Li Er.

"Speak, talk about what you want." Li Er said happily.

"Your Majesty, the people in charge are separated from the soldiers in charge, and the ministers sleep peacefully. The power in their hands is too great. I'm afraid there will be people staring at the beams at night. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao might be people like us. It is impossible for the imperial court not to be on guard, and the ministers are also careful in everything they do, and the censors are watching, and even General Qin is watching."

All eyes turned to Qin Qiong.

At this time, Qin Qiong did an amazing thing, acting cute!

"Ah, does XX have flowers on his face?" Qin Qiong learned this trick from Li Yuanxing, typically pretending to be confused, and then said: "Yesterday XX sent people to Gaochang, and he was busy until dawn, and he was a little dizzy just now. , Excuse me, excuse me!"

Qin Qiong laughed, but the governors didn't laugh.

You, Qin Qiong, did not send someone to hide on the beam to save face, Li Xiaochang wanted to rebel.This idiot didn't even hide his tail, all the participants, the accomplices, the plan.It was as if he had written a copy and placed it on Qin Qiong's desk. Who believed that Qin Qiong didn't send someone to check it.

Of course, no one would know. Li Yuanxing had known for a long time that Qin Qiong had received the information from Li Yuanxing.

"No military power." The governor of Jiannan Road said very resolutely: "The separation of the army and the people is also a mutual restriction."

The governor of Jiannan Road can see it clearly, even without you, Qin Qiong.King Qin of the Tang Dynasty sat there, who could turn the sky upside down.This military power is not worth mentioning.

Feng An said at this time: "I want military power."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and the governor of Jiangnan Road planned to persuade Feng An.But who would have thought, Feng An continued: "Please send me a person in charge of the people in Lingnan, whether it is the second rank or the third rank. He will manage the people, and I will manage the army. I will never interfere with his government affairs. I just ask for something. Talk to each other more!"

Everyone understood that Feng An wanted to fight for military exploits.Whether it is leaving military power or civil rights.Only by handing over half of the power, I am also relaxed, and I have avoided many suspicions! (To be continued.)
