I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 377 Su wants to take action

For Li Chen, he really didn't understand this time. He could have found an opportunity to enter the palace within a month. He relied on meeting the prince's famous doctor to please his grandfather, giving him soup and expressing some filial piety.

But there will be no chance in the future.

Hear the words.

Hatred flashed in Su's eyes.

But she didn't show it in front of Li Chen. She gently stroked Li Chen's head and said softly: "Chen'er, you didn't do anything wrong. Some people did."

"Because of his existence, everything that should have been yours was taken away."

"do not worry."

"No one can take away what belongs to you. The two parties will take everything back to you."

Li Chen raised his head blankly and said in confusion: "Is it Li Ke? Just because of his identity as the legitimate son? But the emperor's grandpa said at the beginning that he wanted to establish a chief minister, and he did not say that he wanted to establish Li Ke."

"Why did your grandpa Huang change? I checked."

"Li Ke is nothing."

"Mother concubine."

"This is all because of Li Zheng."

I heard the word bitch.

"Chen'er."

"Chen'er."

"As long as we don't go against him in the future, he won't kill us. After all, we are all the royal family."

"Even if he succeeds to the throne in the future, for the sake of my father, he will give me a fief. Then the three of us, mother and son, will live in the fief. Don't fight with him." Li Chen said with a helpless look.

"He has made such great contributions, and if Grandpa Huang wants to pass the throne to him, there is no way we can compete with him."

His entire expression changed, and his face became strange.

"No more fighting."

"What does this have to do with Li Zheng?" Li Chen asked.

"Mother concubine."

"Li Zheng, that bitch is the key to hindering you." Su said almost through gritted teeth.

"I didn't tell you these things." Su said solemnly.

"We won't fight anymore."

Li Chen heard this.

Li Chen was silent, but there was helplessness in his eyes.

"Chen'er."

"Li Zheng is a bastard in the royal family, but the emperor saw that he was well protected and planned to pass the throne to him."

"It would be nice if things were as simple as you think."

Su Shi smiled bitterly, but the coldness in her eyes remained: "He will not let us go."

"If we watch him succeed to the throne, our whole family will really have no way to survive. His methods are much more vicious than your grandpa."

"For you, and even more for our whole family."

"I have to do it."

"do not worry."

"Don't worry about anything. Mom will take care of everything for you."

"That position is definitely yours."

……

in a blink.

Six or seven days passed.

Changan.

Taiji Hall, Hall of Political Affairs.

Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair, and there were two little guys beside him who were eating fruits. Li Shimin fed them very kindly.

In front of Li Shimin, Li Zheng was reviewing the memorial with great seriousness.

Compared to before. At this moment, Li Zheng was more serious, because he knew his identity and what he would need to be an emperor in the future. He also understood why Li Shimin dragged him to review the memorial. It turned out to be to cultivate his ability as an emperor. basic skills.

"Winter is coming."

"It's the freezing season again."

"Father, how did you cope with your old age?" Li Zheng looked at the memorial in his hand and looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"What else can I do?"

"The imperial court increased its mining of coal and sold it at low prices, especially in mansions in northern Xinjiang. The imperial court also earned a cost," Li Shimin said.

"It is said to be sold at a low price, but when you get to this place, the government and even merchants will not pay a low price, and you will not be able to buy it at the low price." Li Zheng said to the point.

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly: "Even if you know this, what can you do? I kill and kill, but many people still freeze to death every year. In addition to freezing to death, there is also insufficient food storage. These are big problems."

"Although it has been more than 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, these problems have always existed."

"You said at the beginning that if the profits are several times or hundreds of times, people will not be afraid of any legal restrictions at all, and the same is true for coal. Although my policy is to benefit all people, some people will not Do this."

"If you amortize it, the transportation costs and excavation costs will be calculated thoroughly by the merchants. The court will give you a minimum price, and when you buy it again, it will become a high price."

"So, every winter, thousands of people must freeze to death and starve to death." Li Shimin sighed.

Today, the Tang Empire seems extremely prosperous.

The population is also growing steadily.

But the hidden dangers inside are too great.

“Have you ever tried selling coal based on your household registration?”

"Each household is allowed to buy and sell as much coal as the quota. After exceeding the limit, no more coal is allowed to be bought or sold."

"Register." Li Zheng thought for a while and said.

Hear the words.

Li Shimin's expression changed slightly, with a hint of splendor: "This seems to be a solution."

"Father."

"The imperial court sells coal at low prices to ensure that the people of Northern Xinjiang survive the winter. But looking at the low-priced coal, not only merchants want to make money, but also ordinary people. The more they buy, the more they hoard, and eventually they can Make profits by selling coal.”

"If it is rationed, each household will set a certain amount, which can ensure that ordinary desperate people cannot make profits by selling coal." Li Zheng said.

"This method can be implemented at once."

"If possible, promote it nationwide." Li Shimin said.

"Then I will review it."

Li Zheng picked up his pen and wrote directly on the memorial: "This year, the national policy of 10,000 will be changed. Coal will be distributed throughout northern Xinjiang and sold according to the household registration system. Each household can buy as much coal as they want. If the amount exceeds the amount specified in the household registration, no more coal can be sold. , and then report it to the Ministry of Finance for approval.”

Finished.

Li Zheng took the seal directly and stamped it.

"I hope your strategy works."

"That way, many innocent people will freeze to death." Li Shimin sighed.

“Coal, after all, treats the symptoms but not the root cause.”

"It's winter."

"The reason why many people can't survive is mostly because they don't have enough food reserves and their lives are not rich, and coal is only one aspect." Li Zheng said solemnly.

"If you can't store enough food, you won't live a prosperous life."

"Li Zheng, do you know the reason?"

Li Shimin said with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Since ancient times."

"The people take food as their heaven."

"No matter which dynasty you are in, it is fundamental."

"If people want to live a prosperous life, heaven and earth are the key."

"When the Tang Dynasty was founded, it directly benefited the world. It converted all the fields of some aristocratic families and officials into wide fields, and gave them to the people for planting. They also gave preferential tax treatment, and all the farmland opened by the people were given to the people. Therefore, we have the Tang Dynasty The grand occasion.”

"Farmers all over the world are inspired to create a great world."

"But as the Tang Dynasty was established, many problems emerged. The powerful gathered the land and seized it domineeringly. A small local powerful might own thousands of acres of fertile land. Even the official land was occupied, and the private land cultivated by the common people was The fields were also invaded.”
