The third more is sent, ask for a monthly pass!

"You owe me once. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The Emperor Taishang was sent back to the palace by Hou Junji, and the Li family's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet continued, but there was another taste on the surface. When something like this happens, who has the heart to eat?

Li Shimin wanted to be quiet, but he called Li Chao to accompany him.

The two said that they were going to change clothes, but they were actually sitting in Li Chao's study.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your maintenance." Li Chao gave up. But there was nothing exciting in the words. Originally, Li Chao was responsible for today's matter, and what Li Shimin did was just to deal with it impartially. Li Chao didn't worry that Li Shimin would give in to Li Yuan just now, let alone worry that he would deal with him in turn.

In any case, it was impossible for Li Shimin to bow his head to Li Yuan, especially with so many courtiers here today. If he bows his head, the problem will be big.

"Don't say these useless, this Shangshu makes you have to do it if you want to, and you have to do it if you don't want to do it, otherwise, don't think about going to any fiefdom, I will directly confiscate your fiefdom."

Li Chao just smiled at Li Shimin's vicious words.

"There has to be a reason, right?"

"Reason? Isn't it enough to collide with the emperor? Li Shimin looked at Li Chao.

Well.

Li Chao understands that the so-called king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. It is not easy for the emperor to find some charges for his courtiers, even if he can't find any charges, then he can make a false accusation.

"You told me that I would be a great ruler and would create a prosperous generation. Your words back then strengthened my heart to win the heir. It is precisely those words that have always spurred me to work hard and work hard, I want to be that Mingjun, and I also want to create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin sat on the kang, half-leaning and half-leaning, looking at Li Chao, revealing his true psychology rarely.

"You also promised me back then that you would help me win the world and help me create a prosperous world. After two years of hard work, my throne has finally been stabilized, and I finally have the opportunity to make a big move, but you want to leave at this time, do you trust me? ”

Li Chao was also a little moved when he heard these words.

Li Shimin was born as a general, this is true, Li Shimin did not read much before, and it is also a fact. But Li Shimin has a special admiration for Li Chao, that is, he can tolerate people and listen to opinions. When he sees talents, Li Shimin will actively make and accept them, and listen carefully to those suggestions, whether good or bad.

Li Chao was just a very low status person before, but Li Shimin didn't look down on him. On the contrary, Li Shimin is very bold, constantly improving Li Chao's status, and repeatedly breaking the rules and reusing it, until now he wants Li Chao to be a scholar.

This monarch's acquaintance and appreciation is very rare.

Perhaps because of the change in Xuanwumen, because he relied on the palace change to seize the throne and become the emperor, Li Shimin cared more about his reputation and the evaluation of the people. He set a great goal for himself, to be a generation of Ming monarchs, to create a generation of prosperous times, and to be a great emperor like Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been governing the country wholeheartedly, although he is tired, he has never given up.

Since his succession to the throne, he has encountered countless troubles.

Tuyuhun was restless, the Turks wanted to make trouble, and there was even a rebellion between Liang Shidu and Jianghuai, especially when it encountered a huge drought and locust plague that was rare in decades.

But he gritted his teeth and survived.

The situation is much better now than it was two years ago.

Tuyuhun honestly made a neighbor with Datang, traded with Datang, and the Dongnuguo and White Wolf Ginger in the southwest also attached to Datang, and Tubo also maintained friendship with Datang.

Even the Turks were finally defeated under the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty, and finally returned with hatred, leaving a three-year truce.

The catastrophe has passed.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty was restored to the old territory of the Qin and Han dynasties, except for a Western Regions that was still in the hands of the Turks, and a Liaodong and Liaoxi that were still in the hands of the Goguryeo people.

This is since the Han Dynasty and Wei Jin, for hundreds of years, when the Central Plains Dynasty was the strongest, and even when the Sui Dynasty was the strongest, it did not reach the breadth of the territory of the Tang Dynasty today.

But Li Shimin was not satisfied with this, he hoped that Datang would be stronger and richer.

When Li Shimin was young, he admired Yang Guang very much, admired Yang Guang for letting all countries come to the court, and congratulated him from all directions, and envied the Celestial Empire system he established. He admired the scene of the great cause that Yang Guang once depicted, but unfortunately Yang Guang did not succeed in the great cause. The Turks almost besieged him, and the Goguryeo people made Yang Guang repeatedly hate.

When Li Shimin rescued Yang Guang after the Yanmen was closed, he secretly swore that sooner or later, he would drive the Turks north and make the Turks surrender. Under the city of Liaodong, when he accompanied his father to transport ordnance for Yang Guang's Liao army, he also made an oath to those fierce Goguryeo people that sooner or later, he would take the Central Plains athletes to recover the territory of the Han family in Liaodong that had been invaded by these Goguryeos.

"Wenyuan, in the land of Liaodong, there are still hundreds of thousands of bones of the warriors who conquered Liao that have not been recovered, do you know, the Goguryeo people even collected 100,000 bones of my Han family sons and built Jingguan. My Han family's sons died in a foreign land, and their souls can't return. You know, at the foot of the Yin Mountain, in the Mobei grassland, there are countless Han people who have been taken captive by the Turks, they are still waiting for me, waiting for you, to rescue, to take them home! ”

"Wen Yuan, when you were in Longxi City, you told me a lot, saying that you would help me achieve great things and create a prosperous world. But now, how can you abandon me? I'm still waiting for you and me to create a prosperous world together. ”

These words are very emotional.

Li Chao was also a little enthusiastic when he heard it, although he had already passed the age when he could be enthusiastic in a few words, but the words of the emperor Li Shimin to him did move him.

"I chose you to be the Shangshu Ling, not just because of your Northern Turkic achievements. If it's just because you have made meritorious contributions to resisting the Turks, then it is enough for me to let you be a secretary of the military department, I know that you have a stronger merit of helping the people, understand the economy, understand political affairs, I have Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui, Fang Mou Du Xuan, the two of them, now one is the Zhongshu Ling and the other is the servant, and the head of the decision-making center. But in my Shangshu Province, there is still one person missing, and among the Manchu Dynasty, it is none other than you. ”

"Wen Yuan, the tax reform, the land reform, and the industrial and commercial reform that you started are still in the beginning. Even in the future, the education reform and the imperial examination reform still need to be planned, I need you to be in charge of Shangshu Province for me, I want you to reform and change the law together, so that the Tang Dynasty will become richer and stronger, sooner or later, one day, when I arrive, you will be the vanguard of me, we will go together to conquer the Turks in the north and Goguryeo in the east! ”

What else can Li Chao say.

All he could do now was nod.

Although he has always been reluctant to be this Shangshuling in his heart, but by now, he also understands Li Shimin's determination and ambition, Li Shimin is indeed a very enterprising emperor, ambitious, Li Chao is willing to help him achieve immortal hegemony.

Shang Shuling, this is actually equivalent to the prime minister, who manages the administration of the Tang Dynasty, and the six ministries and departments are all managed by Shangshu Province.

The imperial court is now restructured, but it is still very clear to change and change.

Under the Zhongshu Gate, in fact, it is the highest decision-making center of the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to the political-governance-bureau-Standing Committee, and the prime ministers all become prime ministers with the title of their own officials and the Pingzhang of the Zhongshu Men, which is equivalent to those prime ministers, chairmans, chairmen, or others plus the names of the Standing Committee members, and become the core of decision-making.

Zhongshu and Menxia Province are now located above Shangshu Province, which is actually to put decision-making and review above the administration responsible for implementation.

In later generations, the people's congress and the CPPCC should also be nominally above the State Council.

To put it bluntly, Zhongshu and his subordinates are responsible for studying what can and cannot be done, how to do it, how to do it, and how to do it, while Shangshu Province is only responsible for doing it well according to the above requirements.

Zhongshu is equivalent to the brain, and Shangshu Province is now only equivalent to siblings.

It's normal for siblings to listen to the mind.

But while decisions are important, so is execution. If there is good decision-making, but there is no excellent execution, that is utopian.

Li Shimin elected Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to be the person in charge of the decision-making review, and selected Li Chao, who is young but has first-class work ability, to be the person in charge of this implementation.

"Wenyuan, tomorrow will be the first day of the second year of Zhenguan. A new year will begin, and this will be the third year of my reign. What do you tell me about what the imperial court will do next year, and what are the top priorities? ”

What to do next year?

This is a seemingly simple question, but it is actually very complex.

The country is so big, and there are thousands of things, which one is the head?

"Comprehensively implement the system of equal land and the system of government soldiers, grant land and land nationwide, and recruit government soldiers. At the same time, the impoverished population in the dense and narrow townships of the Central Plains will be relocated to the wide townships in the border areas to reclaim the solid borders. ”

It was beyond Li Shimin's expectations.

Li Chao, who promised to be appointed as the new central center of the imperial court, did not say anything about the need to reform and change the law next year, did not say that he would change the military system, the tax law, the field system, and the imperial examination system, but only said that the uniform field system should be fully implemented.

These words really surprised Li Shimin, and even disappointed him a little.

The new official took office with three fires, and Li Chao's three fires.

"Your Majesty, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's national politics is the Juntian system. The Juntian system is the foundation of the state, and on this basis, there was the government military system, and then there was everything in the current imperial court. The equalization system can strengthen social stability and allow people to cultivate with peace of mind. On the basis of the Juntian system, the imperial court continued to implement the government military system, and military governments were set up in various places to recruit government soldiers, so that the security of the imperial court could be more stable. ”

Social instability, to say that everything else is false.

Of course, it is not easy to fully implement the uniform field system. This involves various aspects, for example, the number of registered people in the world, and land annexation.

This will also involve the issue of the new two-tax law, although the regulation of rents is the fundamental tax system of the imperial court, but now it has been determined that the two-tax law is an auxiliary tax law, and the two complement each other.

"What's the first thing you're going to do when you take office?" Li Shimin asked.

"Da Suo looks good!"

Da Suo Maung Yue, explained in the vernacular, is a comprehensive census.

Regardless of whether he wants to carry out reform or not, if Li Chao wants to be the family of the Tang Dynasty and be in charge of Shangshu Province, he must first have a sufficient understanding of this family background. Not only the treasury of the imperial court, the money and grain, the fiscal deficit, but also the most basic is the number of people in the world, the number of people who pay taxes, the number of acres of land in the world, and so on.

These are the foundation of all the statecraft strategies of the imperial court, and if you can't even figure out these basic data, then the guidelines and strategies for governing the country are all unrealistic.

Li Chao is a person who has traveled through the era of big data and knows the importance of these big data.
