Chapter 256 rules are meant to be changed

The Tang Dynasty is still in a noisy and noisy situation, and Li Yuan, who has become addicted to playing imperial power, still gave Li Shimin the credit for pacifying the rebellion of Fu Gongyou when he saw that Li Jiancheng was strong.

In the East Palace, there is a thick document stacked on Li Jiancheng's desk. Li Jiancheng was depressed, especially after accompanying Li Yuanji to visit Li Xiuning's "illness", Li Jiancheng's mood was even more depressed, but Li Jiancheng still buried his head in the official document in front of the case very seriously, rubbing his forehead tiredly, and sighing lamentingly.

Wei Zheng walked in.

Li Jiancheng raised his head and let out a long breath and said, "Erlang's hand is really clever. ”

Wei Zheng was noncommittal, sat down on the seat next to him, and began to help with the official documents.

Li Jiancheng continued to mutter: "I can't imagine that Erlang, who could only fight and kill on the battlefield back then, can now use such ruthless conspiracy methods. ”

Wei Zheng said lightly: "People will change, besides, Tiance Mansion is full of talents, in fact, on the side of King Qin, he has no choice, no matter what he thinks in his heart, now in the court, he can fight with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the death!" ”

Li Jiancheng said with a wry smile: "Fu Gongyou and the Jiangzuo clan have the same bed and different dreams, Erlang leads the army of tigers and wolves to the south, and Jianghuai will definitely bleed!" ”

Wei Zheng said suddenly: "Zeguo has entered the war map, and the people have no plans to be happy." Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with some surprise and said: "Once you will succeed, your bones will wither, and Xuancheng is still in the same sentence!" ”

Wei Zheng said with a straight face: "This poem was not written by me, but by Chen Yuma!" ”

"Chen Ying?" Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "I can't imagine that Chen Ying can see it thoroughly, how many people can be spared from the millions of people in Jianghuai, together with the sword soldiers?" ”

Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about the livelihood of the people in Jiangnan!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Wei Zheng smiled lightly: "Zheng has a plan to save the people of Jiangzuo from the disaster of war!" ”

Li Jiancheng hurriedly asked, "What is Xuancheng's plan?" ”

Wei Zheng said lightly: "Actually, Du Fuwei's side, there was no choice!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "The matter of the heavenly prison has made him have a great enmity with the generals of the Qin Dynasty. ”

Wei Zheng said: "Therefore, if Du Fuwei does not take refuge in the crown prince, sooner or later he will die in the hands of King Qin." For the sake of today's plan, only one person needs to explain this truth to him. ”

Li Jiancheng hurriedly asked, "Who is the right person to send?" ”

Wei Zheng raised his head from the official document and thought for a while: "After all, it is a king with a different surname, so let's go through it in person!" ”

……

Wu Wangfu, at this time, because of the role of Chen Ying, an otherworldly butterfly, history began to move towards a fork in the road. Because Li Xiuning did not die of illness as in history, and Li Xiuning came forward to protect Du Fuwei. Now, although Du Fuwei has been stripped of his official position, like his position as the secretary of the military department and the crown prince, he is still alive and well.

Duvoy, however, knew it all too well. Jiang Huaijun rebelled with Fu Gongyou, Fu Gongyou will definitely not be the opponent of the Li Tang court, he may have a temporary victory, the Li Tang court can fail once or twice, ten times eight times, Fu Gongyou only needs to fail once, he will die without a place to be buried.

Fu Gongyou betrayed his trust and died innocently, but the hundreds of thousands of siblings of the Jianghuai Army were innocent.

Whenever he thought that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, would have the blood of hundreds of thousands of brothers in the Jianghuai Army, staining his path to promotion, Du Fuwei gritted his teeth with hatred.

But now, Du Fuwei is already a caged bird, and he can only sit back and watch the life and death dilemma of hundreds of thousands of Jianghuai army brothers, and he has no choice.

Du Fuwei drank glass after glass, he wanted to use alcohol to anesthetize himself, however, the more he drank, the more Du Fuwei drank, instead of being drunk, the more he drank, the more sober he became.

I don't know when, Wei Zheng held his hands, looked at Du Fuwei lazily and leisurely and said: "King, if the prince no longer cares about you, the Tang Dynasty, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, who can be your backer?" ”

Du Fuwei casually, put his feet on the desk and said, "It's a big deal for a certain family to switch to King Qin." ”

Wei Zheng sneered, turned his head unexpectedly and said, "King Qin, there will never be a shortage of martial artists like you-"

Du Fuwei's expression froze.

Wei Zheng continued: "What's more, you saved the crown prince in the prison of Dali Temple, which is a grudge with all the generals of the Qin Dynasty. Once King Qin gains power, these generals will inevitably gain power one after another, and when the time comes, will King Qin favor them or you? ”

Du Fuwei put away his feet angrily, glared at Wei Zheng and shouted: "A certain family is a big deal, why is it enough? ”

Wei Zheng leaned forward slightly, and said word by word: "Although the Tang Dynasty is big, there is only one person who can shelter you from the wind and rain, and that is the prince - in addition, you only have a dead end!" ”

"What's the joy of life? Why is it so painful to die? Du Fuwei sneered: "A certain family is a good man again after eighteen years!" ”

Wei Zheng said coldly: "Then I don't know what your hundreds of thousands of brothers in the Jianghuai Army will think, the king really wants to take them and make a comeback in the past eighteen years?" ”

When Duvowe heard this, it was like a lightning strike.

Except for his younger brother Du Fude, he was alone and had nothing to worry about.

He is now trapped in Chang'an, life is better than death, and he really has no fear of death.

However, what he can't let go of the most is the hundreds of thousands of brothers in the Jianghuai Army. These brothers are all from poor backgrounds, have no power and no power, and they followed him to rebel at the beginning, but they can't survive anymore. When the Tang Dynasty fought a decisive battle with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, he originally had an absolute advantage, helping Tang to Xing and Zheng to win.

At that time, Du Fuwei was dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's tyrannical conquest and excessive greed, and dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's nepotism and self-reliance, so he led hundreds of thousands of Jianghuai troops to Tang as vassals, in order to let these bitter brothers have a background, live a good life, and live a peaceful life.

However, Du Fuwei did not expect that Fu Gongyou would actually cooperate with Du Yan, let alone that Fu Gongyou would lead hundreds of thousands of Jianghuai troops to rebel and openly claim the emperor's establishment.

Now, although Fu Gongyou relied on his cleverness to win a game, it still hasn't changed, the comparison of strength and weakness, once the Li Tang court uses good generals, it can still easily kill Fu Gongyou.

Du Fuwei looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Do you have a way to save the lives of tens of thousands of brothers in the Jianghuai Army?" ”

Wei Zheng nodded, then shook his head and said, "Most of them can be saved, but some people must die, such as Fu Gongyou, Zuo Youxian, and Zhang Shan'an!" ”

"They are innocent!" Du Fuwei said indignantly: "They all deserve to die! ”

Wei Zheng said: "You don't have much time, the King of Qin has already taken command, choose a day to send troops, from Chang'an to Jianghuai, although there are thousands of miles away, the cavalry under the command of the King of Qin is less than half a month, you can arrive at Jianghuai, once the King of Qin arrives in Jianghuai, the Jianghuai army will definitely be bloody, the only way to live, in fact, is in their own hands, as long as they kill the first evil of Fu Gongyou, Zuo Youxian, the accomplice, most of the Jianghuai soldiers can be pardoned!" ”

Duvoway's eyes flashed. Said solemnly: "What do you need me to do?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "Give Kan Ling to me, as well as your five hundred righteous sons, let Kan Ling then go south to Jianghuai, preempt the King of Qin, kill Fu Gongyou, regain military power, and then call Tang a minister!" ”

Du Fuwei shouted coldly: "Kan Leng! ”

Kan Ling, who was as majestic as a big bear with a Mo knife on his shoulder, strode over and said, "Father! ”

Du Fuwei pointed at Wei Zheng and said, "You obey Mr. Wei!" ”

Kan Ling said unhappily: "Father, Li Tang is not a good person!" ”

"Bastard, shut up!" Du Fuwei shouted coldly: "Don't apologize to Mr. Wei yet!" ”

Kan Ling had no choice but to apologize to Wei Zheng!

……

After Chen Ying began to return to Chang'an, he was forgotten by the entire imperial court. Chen Ying was also happy. Chen Ying accompanied Li Xiuning to recuperate, while acting as a very dad, teaching Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang, Li Siye and Chen Qian's four children.

Since returning to Qinglin from Furong Garden, Chen Ying has begun to focus on running his Datang University of Technology. With the arrival of professors from the Jiangzuo clan and the Hongnong Yang clan, Datang University of Technology has also become full of talents.

However, what made Chen Ying most depressed was that Li Jiancheng ran towards Qinglin every once in a while.

As long as Li Jiancheng arrived, in order not to be a gangster, Li Xiuning had to jump for a while, and hurriedly put on makeup, but as time went by, He Yue'er's disguise technique became more and more superb.

Li Jiancheng watched with his own eyes in Chang'an from a barren land in the Qinglin forest, in just four or five years, a new city was erected, don't look at Chenjiabao as a fort, in fact, the population has already exceeded 10,000 households, placed in the whole country of Datang, it is definitely a county.

What makes Li Jiancheng most curious is that Chen Ying is like a fortune boy, he is never short of money. Sometimes, Li Jiancheng is jealous of Chen Ying's wealth.

At this time, the New Year is getting closer and closer, and of course, there are many places where the imperial court uses money at this time. For example, there are forty-eight founding dukes, twenty-two vassal kings, hundreds of founding princes, and as for the barons, there are thousands. When the Chinese New Year approaches, the imperial court wants to make a fortune, and every time he sees the treasury that is close to exhaustion, Li Jiancheng can't help but worry.

Li Tang is on the ruins of the Great Sui Dynasty, so Li Jiancheng knows very well how those officials and nobles of the Sui Dynasty have swept into all aspects of this once powerful empire in just over 20 years, eating away at the foundation of the empire, and the last bit of execution ability left in this empire has been used to loot the people's fat and people's cream.

In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang still issued a holy decree to open Xingluocang to use one million stone of grain to help the victims (this is not made up by Lao Cheng), but at that time, the corrupt officials still did not forget to transfer the money in the court to their families.

With the collapse of the Great Sui, Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, paid great attention to this problem, so he formulated a very harsh system, embezzling ten yuan (about 42,705 yuan under the people's system), he would be executed.

Although the Tang Dynasty has only been founded for six years, Li Jiancheng has already smelled a strong smell of twilight and rancid smell from top to bottom.

As a prince with ideals, discipline and bottom line, Li Jiancheng asked Chen Ying very sincerely how to deal with corruption.

"Human nature is inherently good, and it is impossible to completely eliminate this!" After Chen Ying listened to Li Jiancheng's statement, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "The problem of Datang now is that the gap between the rich and the poor is too big, the clan gate valve is too strong, and the people are too weak, even you, the prince, are too weak, you can't fight these clan gate valves at all, the officials can organize the people to reclaim the wasteland, how much they reclaim, it won't take long to be occupied, even if the lawsuit is brought to the emperor, you will lose, because those family gate lords have a lot of backers in the court!" ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, his expression was gloomy.

When dealing with corruption, Datang often only makes a start. There is no way to go deeper in the future, and every time you crack down, you can only catch some small shrimp.

Land annexation was the biggest problem of the Sui Dynasty. In order to prevent the Guanlong Group from frantically enclosing land and making Guanzhong have no land available, Yang Guang adopted a roundabout strategy, and he moved the capital from Chang'an to Luoyang.

However, Yang Guang still failed.

The biggest fundamental reason for Yang Guang's defeat is not that he is incompetent, not that he is so pompous, or that he is too poor, but because he moved the cheese of the clan gate valve, and the clan gate valve began to fight back, and Yang Guang became a tragedy.

Yang Guang has actually been fighting with the clan all his life, but in the case that the Manchu Dynasty is all clan officials, Yang Guang can be said to be the enemy of the world, although Yang Guang is not afraid, the key is that he has no real executor. And the poor man couldn't stand the attraction and temptation of the family gatekeeper, and betrayed Yang Guang's trust.

Li Jiancheng's mood was quite heavy.

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng discouraged, so he explained: "Actually, the clan gate valve is not invincible, and there is another trick, which is to let those clan gate lords see the investment path that can get more benefits than encroaching on the field, so that they lose interest in the field!" ”

Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "What is your good plan?" ”

Chen Ying stood in the attic, pointed to the high chimney in the distance, and said with a smile: "I have already told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the method!" ”

Li Jiancheng looked at the chimney, still confused.

Chen Ying had no choice but to explain: "Actually, the easiest and most direct way is to set up a workshop!" Look at the iron-making workshop, phosphate fertilizer workshop, horse-drawn carriage workshop, farm tool workshop, furniture workshop, flour mill and so on that I have run over the years, how profitable they are! The ironworks had been given to the imperial court, and the carriage mill now earned at least tens of thousands of pipes a year, just the flour mill...... Don't look downscale, a small mill can make at least hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but the input cost of a mill is only twenty or thirty times, and it takes up to five or six to completely take care of it. ”

Li Jiancheng was still a little embarrassed and said: "No one has ever done such a thing as setting up a workshop, there are violations......

For thousands of years, the Chinese have been guarding more than a dozen acres of land at sunrise and sunset, passed down from generation to generation, and the small-scale peasant economy has long been deeply rooted in the soul of the Chinese people, and it is indeed a little difficult for them to set up factories.

The modern Chinese population has exceeded 1.3 billion, and it has been growing, but the arable land has not increased by an inch, but has been decreasing, but there has been no chaos, what does it rely on? It relies on the words "world factory".

The factories that have sprung up all over the country provide farmers with another way to get rich besides farming, and the income from working in factories is ten times that of farming, and the problem of food and clothing can be solved by relying on this salary.

If you still rely on agriculture as in the past, and rely on 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land to support 1.3 billion people, believe it or not, I will immediately poke out a huge basket for you? When industry develops to a certain extent, the industrial tax will completely replace the agricultural tax, and the agricultural tax can be abolished, and even some subsidies can be given to the peasants, which is a great good thing for the peasants.

Li Jiancheng looked confused.

Chen Ying smiled: "Rules are used to change. Datang did not have blast furnace steelmaking in the past, but since the adoption of blast furnace steelmaking, Datang's steel production capacity has increased by more than 1,000 times compared with before. Fools also know that steel kitchen knives are better than iron kitchen knives! ”

PS: The contract for the overlord of Great Wei has been sent, and if there are no accidents, it will probably be in the state on Monday.
