　　Li Shimin nodded.

　　"How to make it clear?"

　　"How to reclaim the people?"

　　"How to be diligent?"

　　"How to be strong

　　? ”

　　"And how to govern?"

　　It seems that he already knew that Li Shimin would ask this question.

　　Empress Changsun was not surprised.

　　"Second brother, do you really want to listen? Well, then I'll start with the first clear law!"

　　The voice fell, and Empress Zhangsun pondered for a while.

　　"The so-called clear laws are strict laws!"

　　"Let the people know what to do and what not to do!"

　　"The law is light and fearless, but if it is heavy, it is disobedient!"

　　"If the people are good, there will be no covenant, and if the people are evil, there will be no forgiveness!"

　　"The law is the foundation of a country. If you want to govern a country, you must first understand the law!"

　　"How can you convince the people, you have to lead by example with the second brother!"

　　"The Son of Heaven breaks the law and should be guilty of the same crime as the common people..."

　　[Begging for flowers, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a reward, begging for all support! ! ! 】

　　"hiss!"

　　"When the Son of Heaven breaks the law, should he be guilty of the same crime as the common people?"

　　When Li Shimin heard this.

　　Can not help but take a breath of cold air.

　　After a while, he nodded: "Yes, the law is indeed the foundation of the country, I have been taught!"

　　"What about Zhongmin?"

　　"Chongmin..." Empress Zhangsun smiled softly.

　　"Those who do not harm the country are the people!"

　　"The one who benefits the country is called a minister!"

　　"If you want to govern the people, you must first replace the ministers with the people. The people have only ministers, but no ministers!"

　　"Using the people to supervise the ministers, and using the ministers to supervise the people, mutual benefit and no harm!"

　　When the words fell, the expression on Li Shimin's face changed dramatically.

　　"Both monitoring?"

　　"Yeah, why didn't I think of it before?"

　　"In this way, the people can supervise the ministers, and the ministers will govern the people!"

　　"The two restrain each other, and prevent those officials who corrupt and bend the law from coming to fish and meat the villagers!"

　　"On the contrary, it can inspire those ministers to serve the people!"

　　"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

　　"Although it is the same sentence, the two

　　Those who understand, there is a world of difference! "

　　Li Shimin seemed extremely excited at this moment.

　　From time to time, he slapped his thighs, making a loud bang.

　　And he himself did not feel any pain at all.

　　Empress Changsun saw her, although she felt a little distressed.

　　But there is more joy on the face.

　　It has been a long time since I saw Li Shimin so excited.

　　"Guanyin maid, is there anything else? What else did the expert say?"

　　Empress Changsun smiled and nodded.

　　"Brother no

　　Must be so impatient, that person also said... water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize! "

　　"If you want the Tang Dynasty to walk steadily and stand in prison, the people are the foundation, and those who win the hearts and minds of the people will win the world!"

　　"And the second brother wants to be an emperor, how to win the hearts of the people is only the first lesson!"

　　"That person also said that in fact, it is very simple to satisfy those people!"

　　"As long as there is no war, no natural and man-made disasters, and they have clothes to wear and food to eat, they will naturally be satisfied!"

　　"And the satisfied people, besides supporting the second brother, what else can they do?"

　　"hiss!"

　　"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world!"

　　"Can water carry a boat or capsize it?"

　　The more Li Shimin listened, the more excited he became, as if he opened a door to his worldview again.

　　He turned around immediately and shouted at the outside.

　　"Quick, bring me a pen and paper!"

　　"promise!"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, he received a response immediately. After a while, a little eunuch hurried in with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand.

　　Li Shimin turned around and lay down on the couch.

　　I no longer care about my identity.

　　"I'll remember it myself, maid of Guanyin, you continue to say, what else did the master say?"

　　"Administration of officials, strong soldiers...and, and diligent administration, tell me all about it..."

　　Look at Li Shimin's appearance.

　　Empress Changsun smiled and nodded.

　　"A strong army makes a country strong. This is the eternal truth, but in other words, a weak army makes the country weak!"

　　"But if you want to be a strong army, it is not based on the current army!"

　　"On the contrary, it is necessary to strengthen the army first!"

　　"When the people are strong, the army is strong, and when the army is strong, the country is strong!"

　　"Only by doing this will Datang become truly powerful!"

　　"If it doesn't, it will answer the sentence that a weak country has no diplomacy, and everyone will oppress the Tang Dynasty!"

　　"By that time, even if the second brother has great ambitions, how can Tang Dynasty become the head of all countries? How can those countries be made to bow their heads and become ministers!"

　　"If you can't do this, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment, and how can the Tang Dynasty achieve national peace and prosperity?"

　　Just after Empress Changsun said this.

　　Li Shimin frowned and stopped the pen in his hand.

　　"These I

　　It's not that I haven't thought about it. When the people are strong, the soldiers are strong. The soldiers come from the people, and the people turn into soldiers! "

　　"But the current situation in the Tang Dynasty is known to everyone!"

　　"The people themselves are unable to protect themselves, they are not clothed, and they are not hungry, how can they recruit a large number of troops? And the burden of the Great Tang treasury is heavy, and it is simply unable to support it!"

　　The voice fell.

　　Empress Changsun smiled and nodded.

　　"Therefore, the expert put forward a point... poverty alleviation!"

　　"Poverty alleviation?"

　　Li Shimin was startled and stunned.

　　"The reason why people are poor is mainly because of taxes!"

　　"The tax collection year after year has overwhelmed the people!"

　　"When will this situation get better? There is no hope at all!"

　　"If it is Your Majesty, you can reduce or reduce taxes in some places accordingly, so that they can eat well and dress well!"

　　"Naturally, I will be grateful to Your Majesty. Within three years, when the people become rich, the Tang Dynasty will naturally become rich!"

　　"By that time, the treasury will be abundant, the people will be strong, and the soldiers will be strong!"

　　"When the Tang Dynasty went on an expedition, what's the point of invincibility?"
