Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

The moment Li Xuan finished speaking, the court fell silent for a moment, and everyone could sense the determination of the Fenyang County Prince from his words.

Yu Shiyue, the Minister of Punishment, thought thoughtfully: Each man is given thirty acres of paddy field or eighty acres of dry land. Isn't this land not enough? You must know that there are as many as four million military households in the world.

Enough. Shaobao Yujie put his hands behind his back, his eyes dark: Since Emperor Taizong, military households have been fleeing continuously. Although they have been restored in my hands, the actual number of registered military households is actually less than 2.5 million. Xiang After the battle between Wang and Ning, the imperial court received another 150,000 acres of land, which was actually more than enough. After the Xuanfu war, the north could also expand its land by thousands of miles and open up millions of acres of land.

What's ridiculous is that today, local governments actually regard being classified as a military household as one of the punishments for criminals, treating them as a lowly status. If this continues, it will definitely not be a blessing to the country. I think this policy of Prince Fenyang is a good one. It can allow all the military households to live in peace and contentment and add 2.5 million well-off households to the imperial court.

The military system of Taizu's garrison was modeled on the military system of the Tang Dynasty, but the land was not in the hands of military households, so one can imagine their military morale.

Today's Jin Dynasty almost entirely relies on recruiting soldiers as its main force to deal with war.

Shaobao Yujie was not unprepared for Li Xuan's expansion of power in the court, but if this thing could be done, it would benefit the country and the people.

The Minister of Rites, Hu Xingze, then questioned: The prince of the county mentioned in the memorial that in case of war, all military households with male sons can be exempted from all the tenants' rents for that year when fighting in other places, and 70% of the deductions for locals. In addition, annual training On the 50th, there is still money available for training and expeditions every day, and the method is half of the recruitment. Is this too generous?

We can still discuss the specific regulations. Although Li Xuan said this, his voice and demeanor were very firm: But I believe that in the army, the priority should be to give priority to those who are good and to be generous. Otherwise, it will not be enough to stimulate the war of the guards. Heart.

I thought I might give it a try!

Quan Dingtian is now the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is becoming more and more sensitive to finance and taxes. He holds his fists and says solemnly: Since October, there have been many wheat seedlings in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places. It is difficult to grow due to the cold winter, which is not a good sign. I estimate that by October next year, the imperial court will be short of six million dan of food for the Weisuo alone. This is still the most conservative estimate.

Many of the auxiliary ministers present were immediately suffocated.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly: But if this contract responsibility law is implemented, the grain production of the Weisuo army can be increased by at least 70%. Not only can it be self-sufficient, but it can also subsidize the government. I have personally inspected Beizhi in the past few months. In Li, Datong, Xuanfu and Shandong and other places, the yield per mu of good farmland is shockingly low.

On the one hand, no one took good care of this, and on the other hand, the local generals concealed the harvest. . But if these grains can be contracted to households and asked to take care of them carefully, the grain production of various health centers will definitely increase significantly. It does not cost the country a single penny, but the imperial court increases by tens of millions every year.

In fact, public ownership is not a bad thing. In the world that Li Xuan traveled to, some rural areas had already switched from contracting to cooperative management due to lack of labor.

But at this time, whether it was bureaucratic literacy, governance standards, or mechanization, they were far from the standards of later generations.

Moreover, the public ownership of the guard station belongs to the state and the emperor.

Li Xuan clasped his fists again at this time: If you have any doubts, we can try it out at the two Zhili Prefecture Guard Stations first. If there are any mistakes, we can correct them in time.

He was willing to try it out because he did not have a reliable enough bureaucratic team at his disposal.

You need to know that there are too many tricks in dividing fields, and there are too many places where you can manipulate.

As the saying goes, it is not about scarcity but about inequality. Once the land is divided carelessly and unevenly, it will lead to complaints from military households.

Therefore, Li Xuan would rather walk slower and more steadily, and try not to leave any hidden dangers.

His reforms will not be as hasty as Wang Anshi's.

Moreover, Li Xuan said it was a trial implementation, but in fact, as long as today's decision is passed, it will be like a surging trend that cannot be reversed.

Military households in other places may wonder why the imperial court divided the fields in Beizhili so favorably that they did not distinguish between theirs and theirs.

In the future, it will be difficult for the imperial court to resist this outpouring of public opinion——

If this method can really make the guard army self-sufficient, then I will also agree to it.

Yu Hongshang, who was sitting on the throne, observed the expressions of the eight auxiliary ministers present and knew that there was a high possibility that the 'Contract Responsibility Law' would be passed.

Yu Hongshang was also very moved. Allocating land to military households would certainly greatly increase Li Xuan's reputation. But the name of their mother and son was written in this edict.

Just ask the gentlemen to make a decision!'

In the end, there were six votes in favor and two abstentions.

Wang Wen just said he wanted to object, but he didn't know if he was persuaded by Li Xuan's words and finally chose to abstain.

Later, Chen Xun changed the name of Li Xuan’s ‘Contract Liability Law’ to the ‘Military Field Permanent Tenancy Law’.

Although Li Xuan felt that this title was not intuitive, he still followed the good example.

But the second and third memorials written by Li Xuan still shocked the eight people present.

The second memorial was relatively better. It was an outline of Li Xuan's plans to popularize the new currency throughout the world in two months.

They have actually seen the coin minting machine and aluminum currency that Li Xuan asked Leng Yurou to build.

Those aluminum one-, five-, and ten-penny currencies, as well as one-tael silver coins, are indeed novel in style, with beautiful patterns, bright and bright, difficult to imitate, light and easy to carry, in short they have many benefits, and the cost is acceptable.

Therefore, everyone can agree and hope that this method can solve the problem of insufficient money in the world.

The third part is related to the clan. Li Xuan believes that since Taizong, the clan population has become increasingly prosperous, the salary provided by the court to the clan has increased day by day, and the pressure has become increasingly heavy.

So Li Xuan planned to set a total amount of around five million taels of silver. From then on, the salary given by the imperial court to all clans must not exceed this number.

Then the descendants of the clan vassal kings after the fourth generation could choose to give up their clan status, and the court would pay a thousand taels of silver to buy them out as usual, allowing them to make a living on their own, and they could not help but take scientific examinations and join the army.

As a member of the royal family and the eldest princess of the supervisory state, Yu Hongshang had no choice but to feel 'dissatisfied' and 'violent' opposition.

It's a pity that Li Xuan has already established his power and has power over the court. In the end, with the support of five of the eight auxiliary ministers, the princess had no choice but to agree.

Next, the atmosphere of the court meeting calmed down.

Everyone began to discuss next year's era name. Since new coins are to be issued, of course there must be a new era name.

Moreover, Jingtai passed away, it has been more than eight months since the new emperor ascended the throne, and the New Year is just a few days away.

It is indeed time for the imperial court to choose a new year's name to show that the new emperor has ascended the throne and everything is renewed.

In the end, it was Li Xuan who made the decision in one word and decided to call it reform.

The word reform is taken from the Book of Songs - Shi·Daya·King Wen: Although Zhou was an old state, its destiny was to be restored.

This year's title is precisely to declare to the literati in the world the intention of the imperial court and the ministers to reform and reform.

※※※※

After the court meeting, Yu Hongshang deliberately left Li Xuan alone to discuss state affairs.

Yu Hongshang stared at Li Xuan for a long time, and then sighed softly: Mr. Criticize. Xuanlang can choose one person as a chess piece, and he doesn’t have to stand at the front desk himself.”

Naturally, Yu Hongshang would not be suspicious of Li Xuan, but after all, she was just the eldest princess of the prison kingdom and would return to power in the future.

As for the government affairs implemented by Li Xuan today, no matter what they do, they will arouse the emperor's suspicion.

What Yu Hongshang is worried about is that in the future, no matter who he is, as long as he is the leader of a country, he will not allow such powerful ministers under him.

Xuanlang works hard at seeking the country, but is poor at seeking a career, which may lead to unexpected disasters——

I only know how to make a fool of myself in order to protect the snake's feet, and to serve the country in danger, I once stroked the tiger's beard.

Li Xuan laughed: How can this 'clan enshrining method' suppress the clans of the world without using my name? How can I make them swallow their anger?

He has a retreat like the 'Emperor of Heaven', so naturally he won't care about reputation or reputation in the world.

At this time, he holds the military power in the world, and his reputation among the government and the public is high. What if the little emperor is jealous in the future?

When he completes the reform, he will simply resign and quit, and he will not be afraid of the emperor settling the accounts later and killing the donkey.

Yu Hongshang didn't know Li Xuan's plan, so she could only look at Yu Youxun in her arms silently.

She thought to herself that Li Xuan was in charge of the government and everything was in order, so she didn't need to worry about anything.

I still have to spend more time with my children, raise them well, let them understand the general principles and understand the truth, and I must not give people the opportunity to alienate their father and son.

It's best to choose the right time to tell Youzhen his true life experience.

Although the father and son cannot recognize each other, she has to let the child know that his father is actually Li Xuan, a great master of Confucianism, a great scholar with a unique literary talent in the world, UU Reading www.uukaｎshu. The commander -in -chief of the military law on the battlefield was calmed down with one force, and the big heroes were settled in the first place.

Next, Yu Hongshang discussed state affairs with Li Xuan again, forgetting to sleep and eat.

Perhaps because New Year's Eve was approaching, Li Xuan was unable to enter the palace for nearly half a month after the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, so Yu Hongshang was extra lingering and did not let Li Xuan go until late at night.

After Li Xuan came out of the palace, he began to worry about the approaching New Year and his birthday.

Now every year when the New Year comes, Li Xuan can't help but feel frightened and his face becomes sad.

Li Xuan felt that it was not his birthday or New Year, but his life and death, the gate of hell.

What's annoying is that in previous years, he had two sandbags, Zhang Yue and Peng Fulai - no, it was his assistants who shared the burden.

This year, the two of them have learned a lot from each other, and they have been avoiding him for a long time.

However, to Li Xuan's expectation, he actually had a peaceful New Year's Eve and New Year's Day this year.

Jiang Hanyun was out hunting for the Black List Demon until she returned to the capital on the 26th. Then she organized a banquet at home and hosted a grand banquet for all the ladies on New Year's Eve, including Li Xuan and Yu who secretly walked out of the palace. Celebrating birthday in red clothes.

The family was actually safe and sound. No matter whether it was the more prickly Luo Yan and Xue Yunrou, or Ao Shuying and Le Qianqian, anything happened.

Li Xuan was already prepared to be resented by several girls and even beaten up several times.

Therefore, before the New Year, I deliberately strengthened the practice of horizontal training of the hegemony body, and also took several top-notch elixirs, which increased the strength of the hegemony body by about 10%.

But it was all in vain, and he spent New Year's Eve intact and safe.

By the next day, Li Xuan was sure that all his skin and flesh were intact, and he almost cried with joy, tears falling from his eyes.
