Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Dilemma

"Brother, in your opinion, what is the statute of this emperor? Why did he make a false shot, but ran to Wuhan to seconded officials? What does this school palace say? ”

Li Xianling of Yangtze County didn't figure out the taste for a while, what kind of operation is this emperor, people in Liaodong are not staring at the Bohai Rim Expressway project, but they want to build a school palace in the capital.

It's a mystery.

Unlike Lao Li, Li Fengjie is "alone", and he can look at things more detachedly and objectively, after all, he doesn't want to be an official or seek an official.

"Does my brother want to hear about the affairs of the Xue Palace or what the emperor thinks?"

"Let's talk about it."

Lao Li saw that Li Fengjie was really a little puzzled, and immediately added some tea to him, and then turned sideways, looking like he was listening.

"It is okay to send officials from all provinces, provinces, states and counties in the world to Beijing, and it is reasonable for the imperial court to select talents. It's just that the recruitment of Wuhan monarchs to Beijing to manage the affairs of the school palace is like cooking oil on a blazing fire, and there will be trouble. My brother naturally knows the truth here. ”

"Knowing is knowing, but the people of Shandong don't see any movement, and the surname Kong is surnamed Chu...... It's all silent. Isn't it going to be a shut-off and a dog? ”

As the son of Li Keshi, he had a quarrel with the Duke of Danyang County, and Lao Li has seen all kinds of strange battles. In the future, he will never fight for a position with other brothers.

Inside a family, the voice is still uneven, let alone the "Taoism"?

Originally, Lao Li thought that not to mention the emperor in this matter, God would not be able to come, and he had to fight for a dog to win and lose before he settled the account.

But what I never expected was that the emperor decided to open a school palace, and seconded officials from Wuhan to appoint them, probably to confer "doctors" of all ranks. opened such an opening, but Kong Yingda and Chu Suiliangzhi didn't even let out half a fart.

The emperor's operation is just like a riddle, and these "I Note the Six Classics" students are actually such a mystery-like operation, which completely makes Lao Li confused and completely incomprehensible.

"Hit whom? Wuhan officials who entered Beijing? ”

Li Fengjie smiled, and then said to Lao Li, "Since there is no movement in the Confucian sacrifice wine, it can only mean that the emperor is trying to promote this matter, and the person who blocks it will die." ”

Mouth cannon masters are not afraid of anything, they are afraid of death. The Confucian sacrificial wine is not cool enough, and now the status of the rivers and lakes is so high, as long as Emperor Li dies or smoothly handovers, the history books will be turned over in the future, and the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers will be written in black and white, and it will not be beautiful?

If you die, it's different, change the old chairman, maybe you can change your reputation and change your official position, and in front of the Zhenguan Emperor who has been in Zhenguan for 20 years, you will only be beaten to death, and there is no other way out.

Kong Xijiu is a person who understands, change the emperor, he immediately jumped out and sprayed wildly, now, wash and sleep.

"The old man is trying to promote? What is this for? Now that Guanzhong Henan is all under the control of the emperor, the first person in the past and present, shouldn't they divide their land and appease the people? How dare you let Wuhan people go to Beijing to do things? ”

"It's just a matter of dealing with the Turks in the old years."

Li Fengzhi said this, Lao Li came to the spirit, and the most successful way to deal with the Turks was, of course, to destroy one family and drive one family. But the most impressive thing is not this, but Emperor Wen of Sui slightly manipulated the Turks, which is simply a hand of God, ** Ashina Clan Various** Ah Heyan.

The broad masses of the people can survive until Zhenguan is watching the Turkic burps, and without Yang Jian's hand back then, at least they will have to survive for a few more years.

However, in this way, Lao Li also frowned slightly: "The emperor actually regards Jiang Han as a Turk? ”

"It's all 'the devil capital on the earth', it's so infamous, what else is going on?"

"In this way, the emperor intends to muddy the waters of Jiang Han?"

"There is a fart, in the past, Wuhan was made because of people, but now it is an adult everywhere. How many vacancies in the imperial court could accommodate Wuhan officials? Surrounded by heroes all over the world, there is no official hat, no money bag, and he can only cry out in vain. ”

Li Fengjie made a joke, but Lao Li had a serious expression, nodded again and again: "The number of officials in Wuhan is the first. That's the case, it's not a 'redundant official', but a shortage of manpower, and I'm afraid the emperor doesn't understand the truth here. ”

"If the emperor doesn't understand, how can King Mabin not understand?"

It's one thing to understand, it's another thing to do. The foundation of Wuhan lies in the land, not in the land. Zhang De used all kinds of means to cut off the land ownership of the local clans, all of which Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, watched it complete, and at that time he also passed a son to Li Daoxing's name.

The output of cultivated land in Wuhan is very different from that of small farmers and small landlords, and the water conservancy projects and new farming techniques built in Wuhan are directly used by Zhang De to convey the spirit of the "agricultural revolution."

So, apart from Wuhan, what other places are willing to try and implement new technologies, and are willing to pay for water conservancy projects?

It's a bit nonsense to say it, among the official and business groups that have nothing to do with the Wuhan department of China Resources, only the crown prince Li Chengqian, who is nested in Chang'an, personally went to the ground to take the lead and reorganized the farming methods in Chang'an.

In other areas, there is no such will, and there are even people who take the lead in destroying the eight-oxen plow, often led by small farmers and landlords, as well as "poor families".

For Emperor Li, to make his rule more solid, it was naturally that the more small farmers, the better. At that time, "there were many people in the land" didn't think it was good, but in the past 20 years, the population has skyrocketed, and Emperor Li regretted that he had deviated from the emperor's career for a little money.

But who would have thought that twenty years later? It is said that seeking eternity is a fart.

This is where Li Dong is in a dilemma, either offending the upstarts and newstarts of the Zhenguan Dynasty for 20 years, or offending the traditional small farmers.

It's all pits, who is better to step on?

Every time I think about it, Li Dong has to admit that it is a "stroke of genius" to keep the land in Huangzhuang, at least there is room for buffer, isn't it?

However, the disgusting places are not only dilemmas, such as the emerging cotton planting industry in Hebei, most cotton farmers would rather pay for taxes than pay taxes in kind after harvesting. And after the harvest, he was not willing to sell to Henan nearby, but preferred to take a detour by sea and sell to Jiangnan, Jingxiang and even Lingnan and Jiaozhou.

Why? The imperial court purchase price was much lower than in the south.

Not only that, for example, there is a strict grain tax in the Hedong region, and some Hedong tycoons directly borrow Hebei Province, preferring to import grain from Korea Province and Fusang to pay grain taxes rather than grow grain. The grain tax from Hedong into Taiyuan and Chang'an once appeared in Jiaozhou rice......

And these Jiaozhou rice, fucking Mo Nan transported it with a horse team. Looking at all dynasties, I have never seen such a strange thing.

A Mengwu Murwei Lao Tie, who claimed to be forever loyal to the sage Khan and the Great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, traveled thousands of miles to transport the Jiaozhou rice from Hebei to Hedong through the Monan Trade Road, and then traded it to the elder brother in Hedong, so that they could take the Jiaozhou rice to pay taxes.

What kind of spirit is this?

This is the spirit of the Tang Dynasty's version of internationalism!

Of course, Li Dong can increase taxes, but Lao Tie in Hedong and Hebei can't afford to continue to grow grain, and then continue to sell the excess grain to the south......

In the final analysis, this is not in line with violence or non-violence, it is purely a matter of more money and less money.

However, the south is not short of money, and the profits brought by industrial and commercial trade make most major cities except Wuhan can't help but use a variety of cash crops.

Another reason for the construction of the Bohai Rim Expressway is to consume the "people's power", not only the "people's power" in Khitan, Jin, Buyeo, Silla and other places, but also the Han people in Hebei, western Liaoning, and eastern Liaodong.

The contradiction between the imperial court and the "big farmers" in Hedong and Hebei provinces was once so serious that it was necessary to rely on the Yulin army to protect it, and then forcibly "expropriated" it through an administrative order. The central officials and the eunuchs of the Inner Government Bureau had to coerce and induce them not to sell things to the south for high prices.

Another contradiction that was strengthened was that the agricultural tools in Zhudi were once ordered by the imperial court to only be purchased from official shops. Even after the imperial court purchased cotton from various places, the ready-to-wear garments were sold back to the local area, and there were basically no birds in the south.

The quality and price are high, and normal people know how to choose, but as soon as the administrative means move, they immediately took away a large amount of land income. It can be said that most of the output of an acre of land has been siphoned off by the imperial court through "high-sounding" means.

Originally, this method was to be used on the five surnames and seven hopes, but I never thought that the lower limit of the officials was beyond imagination, and they beat rabbits with grass, that is, rabbits also wanted, and grass could not be less.

In this case, how could Li Dong stop it immediately? Once stopped, what will happen to the officials? If we don't stop, we can only improve the "technology" and embroider the various "industrial products" with "high quality and high price".

Paste, paste, deal with the difficulties first, and exchange some "instant combat power" from Wuhan, how can you grit your teeth and get through.

Li Dong's idea is still quite good, but after some operation, for the people in Luoyang, why is it that the emperor does not trust them as much as before?

This is also what Lao Li couldn't understand, so he asked Li Fengxian to be a good counselor.

"But what if King Mabin understood? The emperor is always in a dilemma. ”

When Li Fengjie said this, the whole person was excited, "Whether you believe it or not, brother, I think that this situation, I'm afraid it's not really going to be a fight, but it has nothing to do with Wuhan!" ”
