Capital Datang

Datang's current domestic situation can actually be summed up in one sentence, that is, production relations cannot adapt to the development of productive forces, and the old production relations have hindered the development of productive forces. Therefore, Datang urgently needs a social change, using a new The new production relations replace the old production relations, thus fully releasing the productive forces.

Of course, the production relations and productivity mentioned above are all philosophical. Li Shimin and Li Yin may not understand these, and even if they do, they will not take them to heart.However, as emperors, they already keenly felt that Datang had reached the point where it had to change, otherwise there would definitely be big problems in the future.

It's just that Li Shimin is getting old, and his thinking can't keep up with the development of the times, so he also knows that he is powerless to promote this change, so he has to hand over this arduous task to his successor Li Zhi, but Li Shimin doesn't care about Li Zhi. Don't worry, so I wrote a letter to Li Yin, asking him to help Li Zhi to complete this change that is related to the life and death of Datang.

Li Yin has never told anyone about this matter, but today he told Wang An. This is mainly because Wang An is the prime minister of Daqi. If Li Yin wants to help Li Zhi in the future, he will definitely need Wang An's strong cooperation. , so remind him in advance, let him be mentally prepared, so as not to make any mistakes then.

It’s just that Wang An considered that this matter was too involved. He had also met Li Zhi, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and felt that the other party was not a person who could take on such a big responsibility. Therefore, he was worried that if something went wrong during the reform, It will make Da Qi fall into it too, but Wang An knows Li Yin very well. Seeing the way he speaks and the expression on his face, he immediately knows that Li Yin has made a decision on this matter, and no one can change it, so he has to secretly be prepared.Capital Datang 682

after a few months.Lu Wan, who had already recuperated, returned to Taiwan, and was personally interviewed by Li Yin, and during the interview, Li Yin personally announced the title of Earl Lu Wan, and at the same time he also told the gentlemen of various newspapers that he would be in Daqi From various industries in the country, a group of people who have made great contributions to the country and society are selected to be awarded the title.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately detonated the whole society, and not only the whole country reacted strongly to it.Countless people who thought they were eligible for the title rushed to gain some prestige for themselves.Even in Datang, the response was strong, especially in the industrial and commercial circles of Datang. Many people regretted not immigrating to Daqi sooner, and at the same time began to arrange their own industries in Datang.Then shift the center of gravity to Daqi.

"Your Majesty, Daqi's move is tantamount to robbing. Within a few days, several well-known big businessmen in my Tang Dynasty have begun to transfer assets to Daqi. If we let it go, I'm afraid it will really make my Datang's business You can't recover from the fall!" In the study of Liangyi Hall, Changsun Wuji stated to Li Shimin with a heartbroken expression.

The official document submitted by Changsun Wuji to Wang An.He wanted to restrict the merchants of the Tang Dynasty from settling in Daqi, but they were politely rejected by the other party. Then Li Yin awarded titles to some civilians who had made great contributions to society, including scholars, teachers, and inventors.However, the largest number of them are big businessmen, big factory owners, and big plantation owners from all walks of life. Most of these people have considerable prestige in society, and their own morals are not problematic.Being awarded a knighthood is also expected.

Although Li Shimin has just passed fifty, he has worked hard in government affairs for many years.It has made him look old, there are a few more wrinkles on his forehead than before, and the hair on his temples is also gray. If you don't know, you may think that Li Shimin is at least 60 years old up.

Li Shimin showed a smile after listening to the grandson Wuji's statement, and said, "Wuji, I already know about this matter, but Liu Lang also has his own difficulties, and it is impossible for Da Qi to treat the merchant's The most fundamental reason for the restrictions on going and staying is how can we retain businessmen in Datang?"

Hearing Li Shimin's indifferent answer, Changsun Wuji was taken aback for a moment, and then stepped forward again and said: "Your Majesty, I also know that the root lies in my Tang Dynasty, but my Tang Dynasty was founded on the basis of agriculture, and it is inherently inferior to Da Tang. Qi, if you want to retain businessmen, you must make some changes to the laws, but this involves the interests of all parties, it is really impossible to move, so I can only hope that Da Qi will look at the help of the Tang Dynasty in the past, I can make some sacrifices, but..."

"Okay, stop talking!" Changsun Wuji was interrupted by a wave of his hand before Changsun Wuji finished speaking.Then Li Shimin stood up and turned around and said, "Let's stop here. Liulang has his own plans, and not all businessmen are willing to leave Datang. For example, traditional industries such as porcelain and silk are in short supply overseas. You can arrange people to think of a way to see if you can expand some of Datang's advantageous industries, which can also make up for the losses caused by the loss of some businessmen!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he waved his back to Changsun Wuji, motioning for him to leave.As a result, Changsun Wuji could only sigh helplessly, turned around and left the study after saluting.

After Changsun Wuji left, Li Shimin stood there without moving.At this time, a person turned around from behind the screen. He was tall and handsome, and he was Li Zhi, the prince of the Tang Dynasty.I saw him walking behind Li Shimin, and said with a salute: "I will see my father!"

"Zhi'er, did you hear everything your uncle said?" Li Shimin turned around at this moment, looked at Li Zhi calmly and asked.He knew that Changsun Wuji would come to report to him today, so he called Li Zhi in advance and asked him to hide behind the screen, listen to what Changsun Wuji was saying, and think about the deep meaning of the other party's words.

"Report to the emperor, all the ministers have heard it." Li Zhi also replied calmly.

"How do you feel?" Li Shimin suddenly looked at Li Zhi with a considerate look.

I saw Li Zhi stopped and thought for a while, with a bit of hesitation on his face, but in the end he replied with a firm gaze: "I want to report to my father, I feel that my uncle has selfish intentions!"

Hearing Li Zhi bluntly pointed out that Changsun Wuji had selfish intentions, Li Shimin showed a look of appreciation, looked at Li Zhi with more satisfaction, and then said softly: "Oh? Zhi'er, why do you think your uncle has selfish intentions?"

At this time, Li Zhi showed a firm expression and said: "Father, as far as I know, my uncle and the Changsun family have controlled nearly one-third of the cotton production in the Western Regions through annexation over the years. Hoarding cotton and driving up the price of cotton has caused many textile factories to act according to Changsun's face. In recent years, Changsun has gradually entered the textile industry and opened many textile factories. I believe that in a few years, the Changsun family will become a giant in the textile industry."

When Li Zhi said this, he looked up at his father's expression, only to find that Li Shimin's face was soft, and then boldly continued: "Whether it is the annexation of land before, or the large-scale entry into the textile industry now, The Changsun family has used some overt or covert means of power. If these actions are placed on the sixth brother, they will definitely be charged with disrupting the commercial order. , but my Tang Dynasty does not have laws in this regard, not only cannot protect the rights and interests of those victimized businessmen, but also cannot convict the Changsun family..."

Before Li Zhi could reach the final key point, he was interrupted by Li Shimin: "That's right, Zhi'er, you can understand that there are many domestic behaviors similar to Changsun's, and most of them are related to the rich and powerful. The reason why businessmen from Datang went to Daqi one after another, because only there can they get a relatively fair environment. Therefore, if you want Datang to retain businessmen, you must have an action similar to Shang Yang’s reform, but this The reform will definitely damage the interests of the rich and powerful like the Changsun family, your uncle knows this very well, and unfortunately, he chose to side with the family!"

After hearing this, Li Zhi was overjoyed, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your father, you have already understood, and my son was worried...worrying..." Capital Datang 682

Li Zhi was a little too excited at the end, and almost expressed his deepest thoughts. Then he suddenly woke up, but he didn't dare to continue. Instead, Li Shimin chuckled and said, "Are you worried about the thought of being a father?" Old, can't you see what's wrong with my Tang Dynasty?"

"I don't dare!" Li Zhi looked a little embarrassed, thinking that he really underestimated his father. He thought that he had been with the sixth brother since he was a child, and then went to Taiwan to live for more than a year. The difference between the two countries is very clear, and he also understands where the problems of Datang are. Unexpectedly, the father and the old man can see it more clearly than himself.

"Okay, there's nothing to be afraid of, there are only us father and son today, so you should tell your father something from your heart, what you think in your heart, and what you plan to do in the future!" Li Shimin said with a smile .

In fact, Li Zhi had long wanted to talk to Li Shimin about the current situation of Datang, so he took a deep breath after hearing this, and said with a determined face: "Father, just like what you said just now, my son also thinks that Datang Tang urgently needs a reform. In the words of the sixth brother, it is actually a social change. If you want to promote this change, you must have the support of your father, and then some capable people will implement it. If it goes well, dozens of In the next year, my Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to have unlimited development potential like the sixth brother's Daqi!"

"Decades?" Li Shimin repeated it softly, and then said helplessly, "Zhier, you can see that this change will take such a long time. When you are old, you really don't have the time and energy to promote this change, so this heavy responsibility can only fall on you!"
