Mohist Tang

“Lets see your Majesty!”

On the morning of the second day, numerous officials gathered in Tai Chi Hall, and Li Chengqian led them to salute.

Li Shimin has traveled for more than two months. Now when he returns, many officials will come to meet him. Even Mo Dun, who has never participated in the Imperial Court Assembly, has to come and wait obediently.

“Ministers, please start!” Li Shimin said loudly.

“many thanks Your Majesty.” Numerous officials got up and stood still. Seeing the silhouette of the familiar Li Shimin, the strangeness of the original Crown Prince’s government was wiped out.

When Li Chengqian Crown Prince was in charge of the country, they had too many things to worry about. Li Shimin was in office and they only needed to do their own job.

“reporting to Father Emperor, the sons and ministers have this performance.” After the numerous officials stood still, Li Chengqian took the lead.

“Quasi!” Li Shimin said indifferently.

Li Chengqian said: “When the Father Emperor left the palace, he once allowed the child to supervise the country. Now that Father Emperor has returned, please take the child back to supervise the country.”

Li Chengqian’s advancement can be said to abide by his duty. Li Shimin has returned to the palace, and it is only natural for him to cooperate with the transfer of the post of prison.

Li Shimin shook his head and said: “This matter is not urgent. I ordered you to imprison the country. The biggest reason is to exercise your ability to handle government affairs. Now you have been imprisoning the country for more than two months, let me see you How are your results?”

“Please also Father Emperor for the assessment!” Li Chengqian suddenly asked.

Li Shimin looked around at the Small Official and slowly said: “The post of supervising the country is to ensure that I am leaving Beijing. The Imperial Court is functioning normally, three provinces?”

Li Shimin Turning his attention to Fang Xuanling headed by numerous officials, Fang Xuanling bowed and said: “Reporting to Your Majesty, during the Crown Prince’s supervision of the country, all three provinces are operating normally.”

Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji nodded and praised one after another. Li Chengqian’s performance during his country.

“Where are the six?” Li Shimin was nodded, unsure whether he continued to ask.

Ministry of Rites Assistant Minister Linghu Defen said loudly: “Replying to his Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is operating normally. Now that the weather is getting colder, the envoys sent to the Western Regions have also set foot on their way home.”

“Ministry of Justice did not have an unjust, false, or wrong case during the time when Crown Prince saw it, nor did it use its power to favor personal gains.” Li Daozong seriously said.

“In the Ministry of People, all the funds have been allocated, and the State Treasury has a lot of surpluses, thanks to the dispatching of His Royal Highness Crown Prince.” Dai Zhou brace oneself said.

All of the balance in State Treasury is because after Li Chengqian reformed the station, State Treasury no longer allocates a lot of money to fill the bottomless pit of the station, and this part of the money is naturally left.

“Oh, I didn’t expect Crown Prince to have such a talent for financial management.” Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian unconsciously.

“His Royal Highness Crown Prince is more than capable of managing money, and he is simply the god of wealth, who can turn stones into gold, and even let the original loss-losing post station enter the fight for gold.”

“Crown Prince His Royal Highness strongly advocates the reform of the post and saves tens of thousands of money and food for the Imperial Court every year.”

“Whats more rare is that the post communication sends letters to the people of the world, so that the people of the world can avoid the suffering of missed. Benevolent governance!”

“The minister has been away from home for many years, and it has been a long time since he returned to his hometown. Yesterday, I received a letter from relatives at home. I am really overjoyed.”

……

For a while, the voice of praise for Li Chengqian’s reform station in the Imperial Court naturally included sincere praise and many harboring malicious intentions.

However, the more people praised, the more disturbed Li Chengqian’s heart became, knowing that he reformed the station without Li Shimin’s approval.

“Oh, did this happen?” Li Shimin said strangely, seemingly surprised.

Li Chengqian panicked, and hurriedly went out and said: “Child is preparing to petition the Father Emperor. This time the station reform child has not obtained the permission of the Father Emperor, plus the unauthorized removal of the driver from the driving department. Father Emperor blame.”

Seeing Li Chengqian’s respectful appearance, Li Shimin felt a little disappointed somehow.

When he was as old as Li Chengqian, he had already started riding a horse to fight the world. However, Li Chengqian became more and more determined.

In contrast, he prefers the youngster catfish attribute of Mo Dun, Heaven and Earth turning upside down that can be stirred anywhere. Although he kept helping him Mo Dun slamming in the back, he was even more punished, but he didn’t have a hint of anger in his heart. On the contrary, he felt different.

Li Shimin faintly said: “What is the crime of Crown Prince? When I left, I entrusted the world to you. There is no military state to decide everything in one word. You can also reform the post. With good intentions, in order to solve the financial burden of the Imperial Court and it has been quite effective. As for the drivers business, since he claims that he is sick and old, then the Imperial Court can give more rewards, and this old official must not be chilled.”

“The minister waits for many thanks Your Majesty’s love of love.” Some This old official bowed and thanked.

However, some Important Ministers cant help but look thoughtful. Although Li Shimin is now fully defending Li Chengqian, a powerful Crown Prince needs to be maintained everywhere, just like Mohist Family Son. How can it be maintained?

The more Li Shimin defended Li Chengqian, the more the officials knew that Li Shimin was still dissatisfied with Li Chengqian today.

Li Chengqian was naturally aware of this abnormality, and his expression was a bit embarrassed.

Mo Dun could not help sighing. Li Chengqian is still not confident enough, terrified and over-cautious. He has such a great skill in his hand, but he is guilty for dismissing a drivers fellow. How can he be so troubled by gains and losses? To Li Shimin’s satisfaction.

Soon the Imperial Court Great Assembly ended in the complicated minds of numerous officials. As the numerous officials retreated, Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince, was left alone.

“Do you know why I left you alone.” Li Shimin stood up arrogantly without anger.

“The son is dull, please also ask Father Emperor for advice.” Li Chengqian bowed his head.

Li Shimin coldly snorted and said: “The station spends a lot of money every year. Do you think that the memorial of using the station to communicate with the people of the world since ancient times has not been proposed? However, it has not been accepted by the dynasties, you Do you know why?”

“I don’t know the son!” Li Chengqian shook his head obediently and honestly.

“One, the previous memorials were mostly talkative, nothing at all, and no practical plan. They don’t have the luck of you.” Li Shimin meant something. He glanced at Li Chengqian and said.

Li Chengqian has the Mohist Family Son, who has many surprising plans, and Master Shen, who is unique in Mathematics, asked for a blueprint for his plan. Su Dingfang, who has rich experience in transshipment, ran for him. The reform of the station has already had a successful foundation.

Li Chengqian couldn’t help but feel tense, and suddenly knew that Li Shimin had seen his actions.

“The child’s contribution to Mo Dun is his own, please Father Emperor to punish him!” Li Chengqian quickly pleaded.

“You are the Crown Prince, and you are the future prince. It is only natural and righteous to adopt the ideas of the courtiers, and it is also their honor. Of course, the merits and demerits are naturally borne by you. You let me not be disappointed. , I firmly seized this opportunity, even I have to say, you did a good job of the station.” Li Shimin exclaimed.

The stamp system can be said to be a magical touch. A philatelic trend has made the station communication popular at Great Tang, but the delivery of letters alone cannot sustain the expenses of the station, and the increase of so many postmen to deliver letters is another one. A huge expenditure, I am afraid that the expenditure will be even greater if it is not handled properly. This is also the reason why the dynasties did not choose the post station communication.

But coupled with the two cash flows of Mohist Periodical and Confucian Journals, the situation suddenly changed, and the income of the station suddenly increased a lot, which was able to maintain the stations balance of payments.

“These should not be praised by the Father Emperor, but the child’s fluke.” Li Chengqian got his father’s affirmation, and he felt sore in his nose. He was not unaware of the risk of reforming the station by himself, but He still did this, not only to prove himself in front of the ministers, but also to hope to be affirmed by Li Shimin.

“However, even if the station communication lost money before, it can gain a good reputation in the hearts of the people in the world. Do you know why the dynasties of the past are still indifferent.” Li Shimin said.

Li Chengqian couldn’t help but froze there.

“That’s because this matter is good for the world, but it is only bad for the Imperial Family.” Li Shimin said astonishingly.

“Ah!” Li Chengqian was taken aback and looked at Li Shimin in disbelief.

Li Shimin indifferently said: “What do you think the emperor of the world spends immense wealth for every year? In addition to the military and peacetime delivery of official documents, the post can also collect information from the world for the emperor. Major events occur every day. , The first thing we know must be the emperors of the past. We can mobilize and command calmly, and we can even eliminate hidden dangers without reaction in other places.”

“Now the post serves the people of the world and is also a part-timer. The task of transporting newspapers and periodicals has relieved the pressure of the Imperial Court, but it has made communication much more convenient. The information advantages of the Imperial Family and the government have disappeared. As a result, the whole world will know about an accident, and even cause a huge panic. , Have you ever thought about this consequence!” Li Chengqian couldnt help but panicked. He never thought that the post station reform he had always been proud of would have such loopholes, and his kindness actually did something wrong. .

“If this is the case, the minister there will punish himself and abolish the post communication.” Li Chengqian clenched the teeth.

Li Shimin haha said with a smile: “You are wrong. That is the dynasty of the past, but my Great Tang is not. Now my Great Tang has acknowledged allegiance all over the world, the period of prosperity in China is also How can I care about that little bit of rumors. And for my father, I will teach you another way to be the emperor.”

“I will listen carefully!” Li Chengqian said humbly.

“As an emperor, the most taboo thing is to change the order. Sometimes, even if it is wrong, we have to go wrong.” Li Shimin said with deep eyes. As a generation of emperors, he naturally did not believe that an inn could shake the rule of Great Tang, and he also had the fact that he accepted the communication from an inn.

Li Chengqian said awe-inspiringly: “Children are taught.”

However, Li Shimin only mentioned the harm of station communication to the Imperial Family, but did not say why he supported it. The real reason for the reform of the post.

Although protecting Li Chengqian is one of the reasons, but it is more helpless. If it was before, he must have maintained the status quo of the post station like the emperors of the past. However, since the past few years, in Mo Thanks to Duns unremitting efforts, Great Tangs taxes have risen year after year, but State Treasury is increasingly short of money, which is not enough.

Govern the Yellow River, build brick roads, and the Wei River Great Bridge that is about to be built is a bottomless pit gold swallowing beast, but these are important things that benefit the country and the people.

In this way, saving the money allocated to the station every year is invaluable. This money is enough for the Imperial Court to do a lot of things without being stretched out. This is also what Li Shimin finally agreed to reform the station. the real reason.
