Chapter 453: Equal Problems Don't Trouble (Second Update)
"To solve this matter, we must start with the rule of officials. There is a way, but the people below do not implement it, there is no way. ”
At dinner in the evening, Li Longji really asked the prime ministers questions during the day.
Li Yi, as usual, accompanied him to drink a sip of wine and said that he would rule.
"Which way? Is it not allowed to change the field? Li Chengqi said the words of the prime ministers.
"No need to order, useless. The essence of land annexation is to govern corruption and seize by skill.
Another factor is that the rent levied is too high, the grain cannot be produced, and the rent cannot be paid, so they will be forced to sell the land.
Just reduce the rent, and if the rent is reduced, the people will have food, how can they be willing to sell the land?
The people will take care of what you want to plant, and the people will eat, and the rent will be reduced, and the people will have enough food to eat, and they will not sell their land.
Unless there is a problem with the local government and deliberately cooperates with the rich to harm the people, this is the rule of officials. ”
Li Yi picked up a edamame and peeled it and said.
Edamame is the last batch, and if you want to eat it in the greenhouse, the eyes of the earth will turn into soybeans and ripen.
Others will wait for the soybeans to be harvested when they are ripe, but the beans planted by Li Zhuangzi in the piece he bought do not grow well.
If the ground is not good, the bean stalks will be turned over to the field to raise the land, and then everyone will eat edamame.
Put a little salt and ingredients, you don't need to add anything else, if you want to add cinnamon, bay leaves, and ginger slices.
It's too expensive to let go.
The beans are also boiled with salt under the lid of the pot, and the color is yellow, and it tastes a little noodle.
Li Yi wanted to eat green food at that time, so he boiled the water first, then soaked the beans and washed them, and blanched them in the water.
After blanching, take it out and add salt again, so that it will not turn yellow, but it will not taste good.
The newly bought land of Li Jiazhuangzi, because it is not fat enough, the beans do not grow big, and there is no other way to eat edamame without boiling it.
"Rent reduction, what should the court do?" Li Longji followed and picked up a edamame and peeled it.
"Buy, I print money jointly with the imperial court, and I need things to spend money on.
Waiting for the success of the commercial tax pilot in Lantian County, the other 19 counties have also succeeded, and the commercial tax will be implemented according to different models.
Didn't the merchants want to merge, and after the merger, it would be converted into a commercial tax, and it would be subsidized to the people.
Taxes are taken from the people and used by the people.
Instead of the current left and right Tibet, the left Tibet collects rents and calls to assign and hire people to work.
Where did Zuozang go? The officials paid money, and the army gave food and grass.
Youzang is a tribute from all over the country, specially for the royal family, what is the use of piling up there?
The inner treasure is the most important thing for His Majesty, because His Majesty in the world does not count. ”
Li Yi looked at the two brothers, and the last sentence was very exciting.
Li Longji bowed his head, and Li Chengqi raised his head.
"I see." Li Longji lowered his head and thought for a moment and understood.
"Brother Yi, all the people should pay taxes, and the court collects money, and the rich benefit the poor." Li Longji summed it up.
"Yes, or else there will be rebellion. The gap between the rich and the poor is too large, coupled with the corruption of officials and the lack of combat power, people will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to enter, and the people will follow. ”
What Li Yi said was the situation after the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion was the beginning, how did the rebels in various places come out?
For Li Yi, it makes no sense to think about who to blame in the future, he is here, and he will not allow that situation to happen.
"It's become too much, Your Majesty and the courtiers can't react for a while." Li Longji knew the struggle he would face after the promotion.
"It's early, it's not rolled out now. The currency is not enough, and the silk silk can still be used.
Mainly the army, next year, I didn't want to take things out.
However, there is no His Majesty's private army that can absolutely deter other troops, and others are not afraid.
Thankfully, the sixteen guards are training hard.
As long as they are paid more than the average people live on, they will be stable.
economic base, which determines the superstructure. ”
Li Yi said a classic sentence, without money, you can't do anything.
"The economic base determines the superstructure." Li Longji repeated.
He took a deep breath: "Yes, that's right, you have to be rich, a private army, and a private army must be strong." I...... It's really about getting money. ”
"Yes!" Li Yi smiled and nodded: "I have a good weapon here, and I can almost come out tomorrow, but it's amazing." ”
"Uncle, how powerful are the weapons?" When the queen heard about the war, she became interested again.
As she spoke, she glanced down at the baby in the car.
The little one didn't sleep, and his eyes widened to see the wobbly puppet hanging on top of the car that Pink touched every few breaths.
"Sister-in-law, the power of the new weapon is not in killing enemies, but in the short training time.
Ordinary crossbowmen, such as Yulin Flying Cavalry, are powerful people when they are selected, including the baggage team.
It takes three to five years to produce a powerful archer, and my weapon can be used in three to five days.
Thirty to fifty days, he is a qualified warrior, and he will fight when he goes up, no worse than a crossbowman.
The new crossbow I gave, the crossbowmen can't be wound consecutively. But with the new weapon, the soldier can attack continuously and is not very tired. ”
Li Yi is talking about flintlock pistols, he doesn't know nitrocellulose, that is, flintlocks, and lighters are available, why should he use arquebuses?
The flintlock pistol ignited directly from the flintlock, and if he made a large amount of nitrocellulose, he would have to use a lot of copper to make the cartridge case.
"Brother Yi, I will give you a glass for my brother." Li Longji picked up the small wine cup, raised his head and drank it first.
Li Yi was helpless, and drank a cup: "Third brother, the main thing is to persuade Your Majesty to put the Sixteen Guards in order and unite everything that can be united." ”
"What Brother Yi said is good." Li Longji poured wine for Li Yi again, and Li Yi hurriedly held up the wine cup with both hands.
Li Chengqi drank a cup next to him, he was proud.
Brother Yi who found it himself, look, how powerful is it?
I asked the three prime ministers in the Xingqing Hall before, and they all said what kind of nonsense they were.
Prime Minister, I have to go back and think about it, but I can't answer on the spot.
Brother Yi didn't take this seriously at all, and solved it in eating, drinking, and chatting.
Queen Wang listened and smiled, she liked this relaxed atmosphere of the feeling of 'husband' asking about politics.
The little guy was there too, too, 'uh-uh, uh-ah' and said.
On July 18, a converted watermill appeared at the edge of Ba Shui.
The craftsmen of the Li family Zhuangzi were debugging, and there were people threshing there next to other waterwheels watching curiously.
The waterwheel made by Li Zhuangzi is always free to use, and the water is willing to come and thresh.
Anyway, the waterwheel can't move, it's not too far, just transport it and operate it, and then take the stalks home, Li Zhuangzi doesn't want it.
However, there will always be other pieces of debris falling in the process of detachment, and this one cannot be taken away.
The farmer will collect it, which is a good thing, put it in a pot and cook it, and the pig loves to eat it.
Li Yi got up late today, and after dinner yesterday, he went back to draw drawings and drawings of flintlock pistols.
It's not a shape, it's a drawing of the fabrication, and the barrel has no intention of making rifling for the time being.
Zhuangzi can pull rifling, and the thread can be turned, and the rifling is a truth, that is, it is relatively long.
The inspector of Lantian County also got up early, to be precise, he didn't sleep when he got up in the middle of the night.
In the problem of the thousands of workers pulling out the bed, it is not the problem of the craftsman, but the problem of the wood he bought.
He knew that when a craftsman made such a large wooden object, he would use a lot of wood and choose the right place.
And then he bought it, and he bought it.
He said that it was sandalwood, but he took it in person and smelled good.
When the craftsman started work, he found that it was not sandalwood, but ebony sprinkled with sandalwood powder, and it was better to make a coffin.
