There is a conspiracy, there really is a conspiracy.
After the twelve governors congratulated Li Yuanxing, Dugu Xiude immediately said: "Before His Highness came down, the Holy Father had a few words with us. One of them was about the official office."
Guanfang?
Guanfang means the state-owned enterprises of later generations, which are national assets, that is, the money received belongs to the national treasury.
It's just that Li Yuanxing couldn't guess in what mood Li Er was in talking to these people about this matter.
Should I consult with someone or have other ideas?
But from the eyes of these governors, Li Yuanxing saw something different. Not only the governors, but also Cui Junsu had his eyes closed.
Okay! Li Yuanxing understands why Cui Junsu has remained silent from the beginning to now. Li Yuanxing didn't care at first, but now he thinks Cui Junsu wants to push it to this official position. If you don't compete with the people for profit, you don't actually mean the emperor and the people.
Rather, it refers to the court and the people.
Some businesses are done by the court, and the people are also doing it. The result is that the court's policies, officials' approval, and various issues will be more convenient than ordinary merchants.
The treasury does not only refer to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Strictly speaking, it should be the road treasury, state treasury, and county treasury.
When Li Yuanxing took over Hu County, the county magistrate did not dare to eat meat, so he used the extra money to buy meat. He wore an official uniform for three years, but even if it was worn out, he had no money to buy a new one.
Even in wealthy counties, there are times when money is needed.
It is impossible for all expenditures such as building roads and bridges to be paid by the national treasury. It is natural for the people to donate some, the county treasury to contribute some, and some good people who want to make up for their good deeds to make up for some. Only the part retained by taxes is retained.
Far from enough to spend.
The official office is an opportunity to have some money in the treasury, some things to do, and political achievements.
Li Er also knew the benefits, but he was also unsure, so he listened to the opinions of these officials. Now when it came to Li Yuanxing's statement, Li Yuanxing asked: "So, what do the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household mean?"
"It can be done!" the two ministers said in unison.
"We think it can be divided into Guoguanfang, Daoguanfang, Zhouguanfang and County Guanfang."
"The big principle: public and private officials and the people are equal and the government does not compete with the people for profit. Tianying Pavilion has come up with a plan for this detail, and it will be done according to your opinions. At present, Guoguanfang actually already has railways, shipyards, and salt fields. In the future,
The flying boat transportation is also under the control of Guoguanfang. If there is anything else that can be done, let Tianying Pavilion discuss it!"
Li Yuanxing felt that since he wanted to do it, he should do it more carefully.
The article of equality between public and private officials and citizens has been continuously studied and improved by scholars in later modern times, but there are still many imperfections.
Perfection is impossible, so try to be relatively fair.
After speaking to the governors, Li Yuanxing turned around and said to Li Er: "Brother Emperor, in addition to fair terms, Guanfang also has a role, which is to regulate the balanced economic development of various industries in the Tang Dynasty. This can only be done slowly.
Improvement is slow, and since we are opening a store for business, it is normal to make profits and lose money. It is easy to say that we have made profits, but what about losses? "
"You can't always accuse someone and let it go. What King Qin said, I'm afraid we need to discuss it carefully!" Du Ruhui said.
"It should be discussed, and this matter must be discussed carefully!" Cui Junsu's attitude sounded fair.
The official business is the same thing. In other words, the big families have their own commerce and industry. Whether they are united or competing with the official business, whether they are mutually beneficial or contradictory. Even Cui Junsu has not considered this clearly.
If it is a union, then how to divide the profits and how close the union is depends on the degree.
If they are too close, the rise and fall of the family will be tied to the Tang Dynasty.
If the relationship is not close enough, some scheming aristocratic families will inevitably appear and take this opportunity to rise to power and replace the original big aristocratic families. Especially under Li Yuanxing's "heroic mother" policy, this possibility will be greatly increased.
On the contrary, with competition. Aristocratic families all have sufficient status in the officialdom. It is to help the court to compete with their own family. This is something that no individual can do. Everyone has selfish motives. But if he helps his family to compete with the court, it is his own fault.
Seeking death will also bring harm to the family, and at least it will be an opportunity for political enemies to attack.
True justice is difficult to achieve.
Speaking of conflicts, the conflict between the aristocratic family and the imperial court has been overly intensified. In the Tang Dynasty, at least in the next fifty years, who will dare to confront the imperial court? King Qin of the Tang Dynasty is terrifying enough alone, plus Emperor Xian and Princess Lanyue
, Princess Mingyue. Can you survive the fight?
But no one can stop the official affairs, let alone Cui Junsu. If they stop it, countless second-class families will jump in to support it. At that time, they will become passive.
Why not support it now and discuss a reasonable plan? At least the initiative is still in our hands.
Cui Junsu thought carefully, and everyone else also thought deeply, even the royal family or their relatives. Whether it was for the royal family, the court, or the family. This matter is really serious.
Worth discussing.
"I will allow you to think carefully about this matter. If you have any good suggestions, I will give them to you."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Both public and private matters, official affairs must be kept open.
"The last thing I want to provide today is military affairs and civil affairs. Likewise, we need to discuss it!" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he nodded to Li Er. Li Er understood that Li Yuanxing was talking about disarmament.
Disarmament, of course, does not mean reducing the number of troops, but retaining elite soldiers and getting rid of those who are unimportant.
"The first is the reform of the government soldiers. The government soldiers no longer need to serve as soldiers during leisure time, nor do they need a lot of preparations. The government soldiers are divided into two, one is the fighting soldier, and the other is the guard. The fighting soldier is to clear out bandits, and each county
, There are not many bandits at the moment, so we should have some soldiers, but not too many, mainly elite soldiers. As for the guards, they are there to maintain the order of the state and county. If the government officials cannot deal with them, let the guards go to fight."
"Your Highness is talking about standing troops?"
"When you reach sixteen years old, unless you are admitted to the state school, you have to serve in the army for three years. If there are many boys in the family and there are many strong men in the county, some people can be exempted. After three years, these people can naturally go home.
. Unless there is recruitment in a major war, there will be no more military service. The part of the labor service will be converted into money, and the money will be used to hire people who are willing to earn this salary to work."
Li Yuanxing's proposal this year was approved by Li Er.
In Li Er's opinion, the soldiers trained in this way will be all elite soldiers in a real war in the future.
"The Twelve Guards are no longer permanently stationed in Chang'an, but are stationed according to war zones. The garrison treasury replenishes military expenses, and each war zone is directly controlled by the Ministry of War. The guards of each province are only responsible for state and county security. In this case, the military power of the governor will be weakened. You have
Just give us your opinion!”
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he sat down.
"Your Highness, do we need troops stationed in Henan Province?"
"It's not necessary. There is no need for troops to be stationed in Henan Road or Jiangnan Road." Li Yuanxing answered truthfully.
However, the Governor of Henan Province breathed a sigh of relief: "It is a good thing to lose the military power. It saves you worry. I, Henan Province, have no objection. But there is another point. The military expenditures spent by the government every year have reduced the number of soldiers in Henan Province."
, what should I do with this money and the extra soldiers?"
"National recruitment. After the soldiers from Henan Province are trained, they may be sent to any garrison. The part of the money will be enough for guards, and the excess will be handed over." Li Yuanxing did not avoid this topic, he was very direct.
Just ask for money, soldiers, and food.
“I, Jiangnan Province, support it!”
There are already two lines of support.
Li Yuanxing added: "Lingnan Road, Liaodong Road, Hedong Road, Longxi Road. The governor is the governor, and the general is the general. Those who hold two positions naturally have to manage government affairs and military affairs. If there is only one position, manage the military.
Or in charge of the people. It is impossible for these four to be in the military within five years."
"I don't want military power!"
It was not these four roads, but the governor of Jiannan Road who spoke.
"My road is difficult to navigate and the people are in disorder. According to what His Highness said, it is not easy just to be a guard. It is very hard to worry about guarding against Tufan." The governor of Jiannan Road said this and asked Li Er.
Yili: "Your Majesty, it's not that I am not loyal as a minister, nor is it that I am unwilling to contribute to the Tang Dynasty. There are a few words that are against the rules. Your Majesty, please let someone say it!"
Only these high-ranking officials dare to speak like this.
They are all high-ranking officials of the second rank, responsible for the same affairs. People who are not trusted by Li Er dare not appoint them.
"Tell me what you have to say." Li Er said cheerfully.
"Your Majesty, the people in charge are separated from the soldiers, and I can sleep peacefully. I have too much power, and I'm afraid there are people watching from the rafters at night. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao was afraid that he was someone like us.
.It is impossible for the imperial court not to be on guard, and the ministers are always careful in their actions. The censors are watching, and I am afraid that General Qin will also be watching."
Everyone's attention shifted to Qin Qiong.
At this time, Qin Qiong did something extremely amazing, acting cute!
"Ah, is there something wrong with so-and-so's face?" Qin Qiong learned this trick from Li Yuanxing. She typically pretended to be confused, and then said: "So-and-so sent people to Gaochang yesterday and was busy until dawn. I was a little dizzy just now.
Discourteous, discourteous!”
Qin Qiong laughed, but the governors didn't feel so happy.
You Qin Qiong didn't send someone to hide on the beam, so it's a show of respect. Li Xiao often wanted to rebel. This fool didn't even hide his tail. All the participants, accomplices, and plans. It was as if he had written a plan and put it on Qin Qiong's desk.
, who believes that Qin Qiong did not send someone to investigate.
Of course, no one would know. Li Yuanxing had known for a long time that Qin Qiong had received the information from Li Yuanxing.
"No need for military power." The governor of Jiannan Road said very firmly: "The separation of the military and the civilians also restricts each other."
The Governor of Jiannan Road can see clearly that even without you, Qin Qiong, who could change the world even if King Qin of the Tang Dynasty is sitting there? Even if you don't want this military power.
Feng Ang said at this time: "I want military power."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. The Governor of Jiangnan Province also planned to persuade Feng Ang. But who would have thought, Feng Ang continued: "Please give me a person in charge of the people in Lingnan, whether it is a second-grade person."
, or third grade. He is in charge of the people, and I am in charge of the military. I will never interfere with his government affairs, I just ask that we talk to each other more about anything!"
Everyone understood that Feng An wanted to fight for military glory. Whether it was to retain military power or to retain civil rights. As long as he handed over half of the power, he felt relieved and avoided a lot of suspicion! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature , the novel is better and updated faster!)
