Section 310 The First National Assembly of the Tang Dynasty [Gorgeous
In the era of imperial power, it was natural for the emperor to think and decide on strategic plans and the like. Either they maintained the status quo, and many emperors believed in the theory of governing by doing nothing.
Let someone other than the emperor formulate the country's development plan. Even if the participants are all high-ranking nobles, this is an earth-shattering breakthrough. It can be said that hundreds of people in Tianying Pavilion have already exerted their strength and are ready to do something big.
Just by looking at the thick stack of paper in front of everyone, you can tell how much effort these people have put into it.
After various etiquettes, a low-level official was responsible for serving tea. After Wang Jishan nodded to Cui Junsu, Cui Junsu stood up and saluted Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, King Qin, in the first year of Zhenguan, the Ministry of Revenue is preparing to raise 400,000 yuan for your Highness.
Build a road from Chang'an to Luoyang."
Li Yuanxing was a little surprised that the first topic was to give him money.
However, this also made Li Yuanxing a little nervous. He gave gifts first, and then made requests.
Cui Junsu continued: "Your Highness, in the entire 200 miles around Chang'an, all civilian laborers and corvees are transferred by the Qin Palace. The states and counties will cooperate with Your Highness's command. I only ask Your Highness to complete the Huimin Canal in the east of Chang'an in the first year of Zhenguan! Your Highness
If you have any needs, you can put them forward for discussion by Tianying Pavilion!"
Li Yuanxing stared at Cui Junsu for a long time, thinking to himself, don't you have any requirements?
In fact, Cui Junsu really didn't have any requirements. It would take two years, or even one year at the earliest, for the Seventh Generation family to digest everything Li Yuanxing had provided before. So this was completely for the sake of the country and the people.
Li Yuanxing approached Li Er and whispered a few words. Li Er shook his head and pointed at Cui Junsu.
Li Yuanxing left his seat and came to Cui Junsu: "Didn't Cui Shangshu have any request?"
"No!"
"Okay, I have a suggestion. Brother Huang's opinion is up to you to decide. I plan to spend a year changing the uniforms of at least 50,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. The armor and shields can be repaired and used by miscellaneous soldiers, but those who are like
The knife is like a piece of trash, I think, sell it!" Li Yuanxing said at the end, his voice was extremely low.
Hiss..., Cui Junsu took a breath of cold air, and the 50,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty changed their uniforms. He knew how sophisticated the equipment of King Qin Tiance's four guards was. Even if the sophistication was only half, or even only 30%, it was still a huge number.
Cui Junsu's first reaction was, does the Ministry of Household Affairs have so much money?
The second reaction is, how much fine steel does this require?
Li Yuanxing added: "The money for milk powder is used for this expenditure, and the details are naturally decided by the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Cui Junsu nodded: "Your Highness, this matter must be discussed behind closed doors. There are many people talking today!"
Li Yuanxing returned to his seat and sat down, while Cui Junsu came to Wang Jishan and explained Li Yuanxing's intention. After the five pavilion masters discussed it, Li Jing stood up: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin proposed an issue. The profits from the military-controlled dairy industry will be used to exchange for the Tang army."
Pretending, there are too many details on this topic, so it will be postponed after discussion at the Council of Elders."
Regardless of the amount of interest exchanged, changing military uniforms is not a trivial matter.
"The army's uniform change is a major event. Can you give our military a time limit for discussion and results?" A veteran of the Ministry of War spoke on behalf of the military. Li Jing replied: "Ten days, within ten days, the Ministry of War will
Let’s discuss it internally first. Ten days later, Tianying Pavilion will discuss the matter.”
"Thank you Mr. Li for your understanding!" The old general saluted and sat down.
Another cabinet member who originally belonged to the Ministry of Household Affairs got the right to speak: "How much money will this be? Will it affect the expenditure budget of the Ministry of Household Affairs? Can the Ministry of Household Affairs come up with a proposal and participate in the discussion together? At least one must be agreed upon.
Plan, how much equipment to change, how to change, what should happen after replacing the old equipment?”
Li Er was very satisfied after hearing this. These people were really thinking about national affairs.
This is much better than arguing over the interests of various factions in the court.
The affairs of Prince Qin's Mansion seem to have come to an end here. Today is not a discussion, but a list of ceremonial issues.
The Ministry of Personnel proposed to rationally adjust the personnel structure of each ministry, and there must be a clear definition of the functions of the new ministries. Each ministry must be subdivided, and the ministers must have clear occupations, rather than just following the arrangements of the minister.
It seems to be a very progressive ritual.
However, history is different. In the first year of Zhenguan in history, Li Er should have streamlined his organization.
It's different. Li Yuanxing nodded slightly. Because of his appearance, the state agencies seemed to be even busier. I heard that just a milk powder business caused a shortage of civilian personnel in the Ministry of War, and many idle people were hired from the Sixth Ministry. This is considered
I could barely hold on.
After listening for a full hour, Li Yuanxing came to some enlightenment.
Although it was still dominated by the ministries, in fact it really allowed these officials to relax their minds.
"Wu Lang!" Li Er approached Li Yuanxing and said softly: "The foreign envoys are looking for excuses to delay their return again."
"What's the excuse this time?" Li Yuanxing was not surprised at all and asked with a smile.
"There are various reasons, and everything is just an excuse. Brother Wei no longer cares whether they stay in Chang'an. In Brother Wei's eyes, they are no different from the foreign merchants who stayed in Chang'an!" Li Er said nonchalantly.
Li Yuanxing had a flash of inspiration, and an idea came to his mind: "Brother Emperor, it would be disrespectful to cede the land. However, if a piece of land of more than ten acres can bring huge benefits, Brother Emperor, will you change it?"
Li Er didn't understand: "Wu Lang, continue!"
"Or, how about renting a piece of land and getting huge profits?"
"Continue!" Li Er was aroused by Li Yuanxing's interest, and his body leaned a lot towards Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing looked at the venue. These people were arguing fiercely, and no one was paying attention. Then he approached Li Er and said, "Brother Huang knows that several workshops that were originally there are now empty, and almost all of those people have moved to Qinwangzhuang."
It's a waste if the land is left empty, I plan to knock it all down."
"Six squares, what can you use such a big place for?" Li Er asked.
"It doesn't take that much. First choose a place and build a simple garden. Then build a four-entry courtyard with ten acres of land." When he said this, Li Yuanxing changed his tone: "Brother Huang, it seems that this Khitan
Is the king still reliable?"
Li Er smiled: "How can you say that people who have sent most of their sons and daughters to the Tang Dynasty are unreliable? They say it is to study, but it is also a hostage. This is the King of Khitan changing his ways to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Give him a garden, and this garden will be called the Khitan Garden. To put it more bluntly, within this wall is your Khitan land, and the laws of your Khitan will be followed. After leaving the garden, those who respect it belong to the Tang Dynasty.
Rules. Anyone who breaks in without permission can be treated as an intruder into your Khitan territory!"
When Li Yuanxing said he was invading Khitan territory, Li Er was stunned for a moment, but he became happy immediately.
"Okay, what a great Goro, what a brilliant idea!"
"Brother Huang, what do you think is so wonderful?"
"The little Khitan can destroy the Tang army with just a wave of his hand. What he gains from an inch of land is face. If he wants to keep this face, he must first act in accordance with the face of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yuanxing smiled and nodded.
It doesn't matter how Li Er understands it. The understandings of ancient people and modern people are naturally completely different.
Li Er smiled and said again: "Brother, I have begun to understand Wu Lang now. Those vain faces can be given to foreign countries. But they must be exchanged for the most practical benefits."
"Brother Emperor, the Khitan can bring many benefits to the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is raising horses, cavalry, or having elites fight for the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions in the future, this is what is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. And if the Khitan uses war to solve the problem,
The loss is too great, the people killed by the Khitan were also the fighting strength of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Okay, it's up to you."
Li Yuanxing pointed to the person under discussion: "Maybe Tianying Pavilion will come up with more clever details!"
Li Er was talking, but when he saw a forbidden soldier walking in quickly, he shut up. When the forbidden soldier came close, he first saluted Li Er, then saluted Li Yuanxing and said, "Your Highness, someone is coming.
The report said that the person His Highness was looking for was found. He is now an official slave and is being sent to Chang'an from the quarry in the western suburbs."
An extremely excited look appeared on Li Yuanxing's face.
Not only Li Yuanxing, but also Wu Zhao's originally expressionless face also had a smile.
Just when Li Yuanxing was about to stand up and leave, Li Er asked: "Who made Wu Lang so excited!"
"Brother Emperor, how about the repeating crossbow?" Li Yuanxing asked without answering.
"Very good, but unfortunately the same structure, made by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, can only penetrate the leather part of the Mingguang Armor at about fifty steps. The craftsman has no secrets, this is craftsmanship. This person,
He can be a great craftsman, even a master craftsman. He is a talented person and deserves a big reward!"
Li Er spoke from his heart.
Those who are truly talented must be used by the Tang Dynasty. Even if such repeating crossbows are mass-produced, even if they only have a killing range of forty steps, they are still extremely sophisticated weapons.
When elites go out to fight, if a hundred men can fight against a thousand men and have an advantage, they should naturally be rewarded greatly.
It's just that he was a slave from Yaozhou, and it was Li Yuanxing's business to reward him.
Li Yuanxing took a deep breath: "The person I am looking for is more useful than that blacksmith. And I dare to say that this person is probably close to the level of a first-class master craftsman. Let me verify it again
, I hope there will be surprises.”
Li Yuanxing was talking about surprise, not disappointment. This means that Li Yuanxing is very confident.
"Okay, Wulang, go ahead. Brother, I'm waiting for you...good news!" Li Er nodded with satisfaction.
Tang! Chang'an City, three miles outside the west gate. The chariots of Li Yuanxing, King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, lined up here, attracting countless people to watch from a distance.
It is impossible to watch onlookers, but the people can watch from a distance.
King Qin’s chariot, I really don’t know anyone who is worthy of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty waiting here in person.
At this time, a carriage with air leakage from all sides drove staggeringly from a distance and stopped in front of the ceremonial guard of His Highness King Qin. A clerk ran over and said something.
The people saw clearly that His Highness the King of Qin got off the carriage himself and came to the broken carriage.
I don’t know what he said, but the people were shocked. Because His Highness the King of Qin actually put the cloak on the beggar. And the beggar was actually carried onto His Highness the King of Qin’s carriage! (To be continued. Please search Gone with the Wind. Astronomy, novels are better and updated faster!)
