Li Yuanxing breathed a long sigh of relief. Things went smoothly. All the family wanted was privilege.
This privilege is first of all due to status and face, which are different from ordinary people.
"The matter is divided into three steps. In the first step, I promise to improve the status of the nobles. In the second step, some privileges of the nobles need to be adjusted. For example, killing common people can be exempted with money. Death crimes are allowed, but living crimes are not. At least they must be drained and whipped.
Something like that, otherwise a nobleman would not be a disaster to the country!"
Li Yuanxing has already begun to put forward his own ideas.
Patriarch Cui nodded slightly: "God has the virtue of good life, I can agree to this. So what about the third step?"
"National law, clan law, and family law. The three laws must be respected by the state. Only some special laws can take precedence over clan law!"
Patriarch Cui nodded. At least Li Yuanxing didn't talk nonsense like Mo Tian, and what he said was reasonable.
"Then Your Highness the King of Qin, I would like to ask. In terms of national law, clan law, and family law, how to define which national law is respected and which family law can be implemented first?"
Li Yuanxing shook his head: "This is not as simple as talking about it. At least I think that the serious crime of unfilial piety can be carried out according to the family law first." Li Yuanxing mentioned the family law first, which naturally gave Mr. Cui a face. After all, in the Tang Dynasty, everyone
Everyone has a family first and a country later.
Family comes first, country comes last.
Li Yuanxing mentioned that the serious crime of unfilial piety should be punished first by family law, which is reasonable.
"Let's go back to the first point! I am planning to establish a Baiying Pavilion, composed of a hundred noble nobles. Take this seal as an example. The Baiying Pavilion will review it first and then approve it. Then come up with your opinions, and then
It is submitted to the Holy Spirit for final review. If the Holy Spirit has different opinions, it will be discussed with the three cabinet elders selected from the Baiying Pavilion, and then reviewed. This process can also be proposed by the Baiying Pavilion. If the entire Baiying Pavilion objects,
It can also prevent some of the Holy One’s decisions.”
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Patriarch Cui really took a breath of air.
This King of Qin, Li Yuanxing, was really a ruthless man. This made the royal family make huge concessions. This gave the nobles not only face, but even some real power.
"His Royal Highness King Qin." Patriarch Cui's tone changed: "I dare to ask, what kind of decision of the Holy One can be forcibly rejected?"
Li Yuanxing poured a cup of tea for Patriarch Cui: "For example, the former Sui Dynasty spent a huge amount of money traveling to the south of the Yangtze River."
Patriarch Cui nodded silently. This kind of behavior that consumes national power and ruins the family should naturally be strongly opposed.
But Li Yuanxing's next sentence really touched the old Patriarch Cui: "Also, for example, the former Sui Dynasty. He ignored the national strength and conquered Goryeo. Such things..." Li Yuanxing stopped here, and the old Patriarch Cui was a little excited.
: "How should it be?"
"Reject!" Li Yuanxing said firmly.
The old Patriarch Cui took a deep breath: "Okay, Your Highness King Qin. I hereby promise that if the Holy One can agree to such a decision, the Cui family will be the first to donate food taxes. We only need to change the name to help the country and donate food."
!””
"I will naturally persuade the Holy Emperor. There are two more details. If they are agreed upon, they will be placed in the main hall next time we talk about them." Li Yuanxing has already obtained the desired result. In fact,
Li Er has agreed to this proposal.
In fact, there is another sentence: the chance of unanimous vote against or unanimous vote is too low.
"The first thing is to give the common people a chance to vent. Therefore, I think it is necessary to set up an admonishment pavilion. It can admonish the affairs of the world, and those who admonish are not guilty."
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, the old head of the Cui family nodded slightly, but he smiled in his heart.
Admonishment Pavilion, is the advice useful?
A foolish ruler will not listen to advice, but a wise ruler will not need to give advice. Let the common people shout and give advice every day!
However, Li Yuanxing knew the power of this Admonition Pavilion, and the nobles could not see the horror of this Admonition Pavilion. Later, the Admonition Pavilion was paired with newspapers, and it was definitely a force that Baiying Pavilion could fight against. Don't underestimate the humble family.
Scholars, don't underestimate the power of the common people.
But right now, how dare you say this?
What is public opinion? As long as the speed of information transmission is faster in the future, it will truly show its power.
Tongues can kill, spittle can drown.
"The King of Qin is wise and should give the people of the world a chance to speak. A wise king should also listen to the world!"
"Then the king will tell you the second point. There are three elders in the Baiying Pavilion, who must be selected among the Baiying Pavilion. The method of selection is decided by the Baiying Pavilion. Also, in the Baiying Pavilion, the positions of the six ministers
, the position of the Crown Prince and Tutor, the position of the general in the army, the royal family must also reserve three positions. How to select the remaining positions, Baiying Pavilion must also have a charter."
As Li Yuanxing spoke, Patriarch Cui was also making calculations in his mind.
There are not many three positions in the royal family. How can the six ministers not be included in Baiying Pavilion? This is reasonable. The general is also a nobleman, so it is not appropriate to not leave a position for them. The prince and tutor are also important people, so they can be given.
There are more than 80 remaining positions, which is a bit difficult to choose.
However, since it is called Baiying Pavilion, even a small number of people cannot meet the requirements of the nobles in the world.
Li Yuanxing said at this time: "There must be regulations for the replacement of cabinet members. If the total number of people is increased or decreased in the future, there must be an explanation! There are no rules and it cannot be a square."
"As it should be!"
Li Yuanxing stood up at this time: "Mr. Cui is here on behalf of the noble clan. What I gave you is a promise. I wonder what Mr. Cui is like?"
The head of the Cui family also stood up: "If the Holy One issues an edict in accordance with the wishes of His Highness King Qin, then within seven days, my Cui family will take the lead in sending the grain tax to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The other six families will do the same, and they will never enclose the land.
civil."
“It’s a deal!”
"A gentleman's word!" Old Patriarch Cui was already very satisfied with the result. Everyone took a step back to get the result they wanted.
Li Yuanxing breathed a sigh of relief: "Now that it's settled, the old Patriarch Cui should go back and tell each family that the Baiying Pavilion will completely form a cabinet on Yuan Day, Yuan Day!"
Yuanri! What Li Yuanxing is talking about is definitely not an ordinary number one.
Patriarch Cui understood that this was the first day of the first year after the emperor changed his reign. On this day, the Baiying Pavilion was to complete the formation of the cabinet, and it was also to celebrate the first year of the Holy Emperor.
This request is not excessive. Although there are many matters to be dealt with, there are still four and a half months, which should be enough.
Li Yuanxing said in his heart, old man, if you don't think that there are still four months left, you will be fighting over who will join the cabinet and who will not. I, the king, do not believe that you nobles are monolithic.
Patriarch Cui left, and Cui Yingying naturally left with him.
Wu Zhao appeared in the living room: "That Cui Yingying is quite beautiful, I'm very jealous!"
Li Yuanxing ignored Wu Zhao and just sneered: "The old man agreed to my proposal."
"Your plan should be the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, but the number of people is expanded dozens of times. If we put it in our place, it will be the parliament." Wu Zhao naturally knew what Li Yuanxing did?
Li Yuanxing laughed: "Parliament is a place for fighting!"
"Of course they will fight, but you are in trouble. And big trouble!" Wu Zhao smiled strangely.
Li Yuanxing was really nervous: "What's the big trouble?"
"You have arranged thousands or hundreds of biogas pits for compost, but they are connected to a pipeline leading to Qinwangzhuang. Do you think that the consumption of hundreds of kitchens can consume the biogas from these thousands or hundreds of pools?
When I went to the backyard to make my bathroom, I went to check a few. If the weather had been good in the past few days, there would probably be a few!"
Wu Zhao said proudly.
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanxing was already extremely good. So once she found Li Yuanxing's shortcomings, she was very proud.
Li Yuanxing's Qin Wangzhuang has a fixed guard force of 1,600 people, plus auxiliary soldiers, which is 2,000 people. There are now more than 8,000 craftsmen, and including the craftsmen's families, there are more than 30,000 people. Not counting
At the farm, Qin Wangzhuang alone has a consumption of 40,000 people.
In addition to the horses and pigs raised, especially pigs, there are huge numbers here in Li Yuanxing.
The composting biogas tank is full, and these people only consume biogas for making fires. The military camp and craftsmen do not have separate kitchens, but only large pots for eating. There are more than 300 kitchens to feed these people.
Three hundred kitchens are only a thousand fire eyes.
Moreover, Li Yuanxing's compost ponds are very huge, at least two to three times the size of the small biogas ponds of later generations. Because there is no cement, they are made of stone slabs and mixed soil. The larger they are, the easier it is to make, and the tops are directly made of bricks.
Build the vault and then open the opening.
"Go and have a look!" Li Yuanxing did not expect that so many people would consume all the methane.
Li Yuanxing didn't really think about using biogas or anything like that because Datang's coal was enough. Utilizing biogas was too troublesome, but if it wasn't consumed, it wouldn't taste bad and would be toxic if left in the air.
Li Yuanxing did not go to the biogas tank to see there was nothing to see there.
The thick ceramic pipes buried underground have good sealing performance. And there are signs on the ground to prevent them from being accidentally damaged.
Li Yuanxing inspected the entire Qinwangzhuang, including the facilities surrounding Qinwangzhuang.
There was a place next to the craftsmen's residential area, especially the blacksmith area, that caught Li Yuanxing's attention.
It was a pool thirty meters long and five or six meters wide, made of stones. Then it was introduced with mountain spring water. Judging from the depth, it was not used for swimming. People in the Tang Dynasty did not know when to swim.
Well. Then the only explanation is that this is a place for bathing.
Li Yuanxing began to circle around.
"Okay, it's solved easily!" Li Yuanxing really didn't take this seriously.
Wu Zhao also saw the trick: "Are you still going to let them bathe in hot water?"
"There are many craftsmen, and a heating facility can be built in two hours. Even if the ceramic pipes are heated, the water can be heated. Anyway, what I want is to consume the methane." Li Yuanxing's tone was not serious at all.
This is serious.
Wu Zhao sighed softly and suddenly realized that absolute power in the Tang Dynasty brought many benefits.
The leader of the craftsmen was called, and Li Yuanxing quickly planned sixteen huge baths. One for each of the four military camps, and then fourteen for the craftsmen. Three of them were for women, and one was built shallower for women.
For the dolls. The remaining ten are for the craftsmen.
