Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

Xue Lang Zheng Rong said: "to the sage, the following people sent the list this morning. When I saw five surnames, seven clans and six Guanxi surnames, I was aware of it. However, I was not proficient in genealogy. So I went to the princess's mansion to consult Princess Pingyang. After the princess identified, nine out of ten of the list were prefectures. Therefore, I went to the palace to report to the sage."

Xue Lang made clear the cause and effect. Princess Pingyang did not speak much since she entered the palace. Previously, because she had a conflict with the prince because of her pretending to recognize the abbot of the state, Princess Pingyang and Xue Lang got through with each other, and she was no longer involved in political affairs.

Xue Lang understood her and was naturally willing to respect his choice. Today, if it was not a matter of great importance, and it was not easy to ask others for genealogical knowledge so as to avoid the leakage of information, otherwise, Princess Pingyang would not be involved.

However, the sage did not understand the twists and turns and asked her, "what does Pingyang think?"

Princess Pingyang said, "father, since Youyang has found out the problem, it's better to ask him first."

The sage nodded: "my son is right, young Yang, what is the solution? Do what you can

Xue Lang frowned a little, and was obviously quite distressed. He said, "to the sage, if there is a solution, in a hurry, coupled with the objective conditions, the minister has only one next policy."

The sage was stunned and asked, "what are the objective conditions?"

Xue Lang had to explain first what is subjective and what is objective, and then he said: "aristocratic prefectures have accumulated for generations. If it comes to strength, ordinary tycoons are not necessarily comparable. In the process of auction, naturally, they have an advantage. What's more, now that the world has been decided, few can match these generations of accumulated homes. On the other hand, the princes' families are mostly related by marriage. If everyone can abide by the rules and bid with financial resources, there is still some room for operation. If someone doesn't pay attention to the rules and keep in touch in advance and deliberately suppress the auction, then the auction will become mere formality, and if it fails to achieve its purpose, there will be a lot of trouble. "

People nodded and agreed with Xue Lang's words. Xue Lang continued: "however, the auction is something that has been announced to the world. It is impossible to cancel the auction because of these reasons. Otherwise, the loss will be too great for the credibility of the court! Therefore, the minister has a policy and asks the sage to make a decision. "

"Come quickly!"

"Here it is

Xue Lang said: "no, if we make this auction a secret auction!"

Li's father and son were confused when they heard this. The sage asked, "what is the dark clapping?"

Xue Lang: "it's a saint. When I decided on the auction method, I was afraid that someone had agreed in advance and deliberately lowered the price, which would cause unnecessary losses. Therefore, the auction process has not been announced to the public, and even the people under my hand have not told them in detail, just let them make all kinds of preparations. "

Auction is a new thing in the Tang Dynasty. No one has heard of it or seen it except Xue Lang. Xue Lang's sparring to the sage only described the general process, but not the detailed one. He only explained the form and process of the auction to the sage orally. In the specific operation, Xue Lang changed many details.

Now, these measures are not correct. Xue Lang said: "originally, the auction was for everyone to bid together to create a competitive situation, so as to achieve the purpose of raising the price. However, in view of the current situation, Chen suggested that we should change the form of bidding together to dark auction. That is, we will give the lowest price, and then let everyone write down the psychological price on paper. After all of them are handed over to the court, it will be more convenient to operate. "

The crown prince immediately said: "if so, after the end of these people a pair of prices, is not it revealed?"

Xue Lang said: "so, the matter is urgent, and you can't control it. The gentleman is still a villain! I suggest that a temporary condition be added. In addition to the price, we should also listen to the operation plans of each family and add the detailed rules for the operation of the vermicelli workshop. Moreover, all the power of interpretation should be owned by the imperial court. If there is any violation, the qualification will be cancelled! "

“……”

Li's father and son looked at each other, and they obviously understood what Xue Lang didn't say in his words. Seeing Xue Lang's expression, they all thought Xue Lang was a straightforward man before. Now they know that he doesn't understand machinations, but he doesn't like to use them. Now he must be forced to hurry up!

Princess Pingyang sighed slightly and said, "this is against Youyang's principle of being a man and doing things."

Xue Lang said: "at this time, I don't care too much. I will solve the problem first. For the sake of national security, aristocratic prefectures must be weakened. If they are allowed to become big, it is not a blessing of the state! "

Throughout the Han Dynasty up to now, whenever the centralization of power is relatively high, people's life will be better. The Jin and Jin Dynasties were the most powerful period of aristocratic families. Ordinary people could hardly live in poverty. Therefore, all kinds of riots were so frequent. It was because the common people couldn't live, while the gentry were drunk and ridiculous. It was a time when you were better able to do things than to be reborn.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the five surnames and seven clans were prominent in the world. When facing the five surnames and seven clans, the Li Tang royal family in Longxi felt that they were lack of confidence.

Xue Lang talked about his ideas and plans in detail. After hearing this, people nodded frequently and decided to make a plan. The prince looked at Xue Lang and said, "father, I have a word to show you.""I'll tell you as much as I can."

The crown prince said, "father, it is imperative to weaken the aristocratic family, which is also agreed by you. However, the foundation of my dynasty is weak. Now the world has not been settled and the whole world has not returned. It is the time to rely on the aristocratic family. If the relationship with the aristocratic family is evil at this time, the foundation of the country will be shaken and the great cause will be endangered."

Seeing this, the king of Qin said, "father, I think the elder brother's words are wrong! We should rely on and borrow from the aristocratic family, but we should not ignore the harm brought by the excessive power of the aristocratic family. In Juan, you should think about the danger and prepare well in advance, which is the way to success. Otherwise, if you allow the aristocratic family to become bigger, it will certainly affect the imperial court and the country! "

What they said was reasonable. For a moment, the sage felt a little difficult to choose. He looked at Xue Lang and said, "what do you think of the words between Dalang and Erlang?"

Xue Lang said: "what the prince and the king of Qin said I think it's reasonable! However, we should always keep in mind when we are in peace. We should not tolerate or ignore the bad side of things just because they are good. The government should give priority to guidance, guide the good side, and restrict and destroy the bad side by means of means. If the aristocratic family and the imperial court really want to get along for a long time, they should be restricted. The use of these means is not to destroy the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family is deeply rooted and has a great influence. When our Dynasty was first established, it was the time to pacify the whole world. The means should be slow rather than urgent. Therefore, it should be more appropriate not to synthesize the views of the crown prince and the king of Qin before making a policy. "

Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. It is not right to eliminate all other forces at once. In the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic families were deeply rooted and had a lot of social resources, which directly destroyed them Not to mention the cost and the combat power needed to be consumed. With the accumulation of the Tang Dynasty now, it is not far from the subjugation to dare to do so!

Xue Lang did not want to destroy aristocratic families, but hoped that the imperial court could restrict the aristocratic families in terms of policy and strengthen the centralization of power, which was also the way to preserve aristocratic families.

Therefore, Xue Lang said: "to the sage, I have just established the foundation of our country in the Tang Dynasty. This is not a good time to weaken the aristocratic family. I suggest that we wait patiently for the world to settle down and return to our hearts."
