Chapter 845 - Doing Things
The food of the eldest grandson Wuji's family is average, and the eldest grandson's family is a Hu person. Pen %fun %Ge www.biquge.info Well, it's not exactly the Hu family, their ancestors are Xianbei people, a branch of the Northern Wei royal family, the Northern Wei Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, and took the initiative to sinicize, one of which is to change the Han surname. The eldest grandson's family was changed to the surname at that time.
Of course, from that time to now, there have been many generations, and after the Northern Wei Dynasty took the initiative to sinicize, it not only changed its surname but also intermarried with the Han people. Therefore, seriously speaking, in fact, the Changsun family is not exactly the Xianbei Hu people, the real Xianbei people are basically impossible to find now, the Khan King of Tuyuhun is a branch of the Xianbei people, and Tuyuhun is a khanate jointly established by the Xianbei people and Qiangdi.
In addition, there are some scattered small Xianbei tribes in the northern grasslands, but they are all climate.
The vast majority of Xianbei people died in the war at the end of the Wei Dynasty, and most of the rest were sinicized. In the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties of that year, there were countless Xianbei people who were sinicized. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, they were Xianbei people, and then they intermarried with Han people, and they were still Xianbei people. By the time of the Zhou and Qi dynasties, especially in the Sui Dynasty, they no longer called themselves Xianbei people, but recognized another blood in their own bloodline, and they already called themselves Han Chinese.
This is the case with the eldest grandson's family.
Of course, in fact, today's royal Li family also intermarried with the Hu people in the early years. However, the Han people pay attention to the patriarchal theory, so although the Li family has a bit of blood in their blood, it does not prevent them from still being Han. is like the eldest grandson's family, in terms of their paternal bloodline, they are actually Hu people.
However, this dynasty doesn't particularly care about Hanhu and these, and is still relatively tolerant and open.
Perhaps, just like the royal family, their own family's blood is not pure, so they don't cling to these things. In some ways, this has allowed Li Tang to have an inclusive and open gene from the beginning of its establishment.
After eating, the eldest grandson Wuji personally sent Li Chao and Chengqian to the door.
Because he drank wine during the meal, Li Chao did not ride a horse, nor did he let Cheng Qian ride a horse. Cheng Qian once fell off his horse, but Li Chao still didn't dare to be careless, and the master and apprentice got into the luxury four-wheeled carriage.
The carriage is very large, and it is also very warm, in the first month, Xiangyang is very cold, but it is very warm to sit in the carriage, and the shock absorption performance of the four-wheeled carriage is greatly improved, plus the sofa cushion, it is very comfortable to sit in the car.
"Your uncle is a wonderful man."
Sitting in the car, Li Chao drank a few sips of tea before feeling a little drunk. Cheng Qian also drank some wine, but he was young, and he drank sweet wine lees when he ate, which was sweet and not intoxicating.
"I always felt that my uncle seemed to be a little jealous of the teacher."
Li Chao smiled and shook his head, "Nonsense." ”
Li Chao didn't believe that the eldest grandson Wuji was a person who was jealous of him, the eldest grandson Wuji in history was a powerful person, after three dynasties, three dynasties, and more than 30 years as the prime minister.
Although he was a favored minister in the Zhenguan Dynasty, he did not become a powerful minister when he was in Gaozong, which should be said to be very rare. It's a pity that although the eldest grandson Wuji single-handedly supported Li Zhi to become the emperor, in the end, Li Zhi listened to the minister's false accusation that the eldest grandson Wuji was plotting rebellion, and he didn't even confront him in person, so he directly demoted him to an official and exiled, and finally died in his hometown.
There are many stories in this, mainly about the eldest grandson Wuji's opposition to Liwu Zetian as the queen.
The eldest grandson Wuji is an admirable person, and judging from the current situation of Chengqian, the eldest grandson will definitely support Chengqian.
"Just now my uncle said that the teacher was conducting an assessment in Shangshu Province, and he was spreading a hornet's nest?"
"This nest bee has already been built into the house, and it won't work if you don't stab it."
Li Chao leaned there thinking about the affairs of Shangshu Province, this Shangshu made him reluctant, but he had already taken over, and he had to do something.
Every prime minister always has to do a few things, do a few things that are branded by himself. It's like in the future, after the presidents of the United States come to power, they always have to pass a few bills or something, which is their political property.
Li Chao also thought about what he was going to do?
Census of the population is only a data support for policy policy.
What should we do after we have mastered the situation of the population's household registration and acres?
Li Chao felt that he couldn't do too many things, and there were a few things he wanted to do. First of all, it is necessary to promote the reform of the armed forces, to carry out the practice of separating soldiers from generals, to continue to implement the military system of the government, and to set up a general staff department in the Privy Council in the future, improve military academies, and train specialized military personnel.
Second, we should continue to equalize the fields and resettle in the tunbian, in short, we should find ways to make more people have all the fields, and we can get enough fields. The more yeoman farmers who came to the fields, the more stable the imperial court would be.
Third, continue to insist on the division of the princes, which cannot be changed overnight, and must be guaranteed to continue.
Fourth, it is necessary to improve the two taxation laws, commercial taxes, and salt and tea monopoly taxes, and so on, so that taxes are related to government affairs and sources of military expenditures, so that financial stability can lead to stability in the world. The key to the two taxation laws is to pay grain according to the property, land and acres, and the officials and gentry are integrated.
If there is still room for it, it is to implement the reform of the imperial examination, and separate these subjects from the special Jinshi imperial examination, and other specialties, which can only be regarded as admitting professional talents. It is necessary to determine the Jinshi Branch, which is the real Shiziquan Selection Ceremony.
For the time being, Li Chao has only these five plans.
As for the other, more long-term, he didn't think about it. A person has limited energy and can't do so many things.
As for the use of foreign troops, Li Chao felt that if foreign enemies did not invade, it would be best for Datang to be able to recuperate for ten years. If someone else is going to fight, then fight.
However, the military sector is beyond the scope of Shangshu Province, in fact, the five plans he set by himself are many of the responsibilities of the prime minister of Zhongshumen. Shangshu Province, in fact, is more administrative, and the national policy determines these, or the affairs of Zhongshu.
Li Chao is a participant in the discussion, not a decision-maker.
"Where's the carriage?"
"It's almost time to get to the East Side." The front coachman replied.
Li Chao thought about it and went to Honglu Temple.
"Is the teacher going to see the little queen of the daughter country?"
"Hmm." Li Chao nodded.
Qingluan arrived in Xiangyang a year ago, earlier than Li Chao. It's just that the two only met at the court meeting, and since then, although they have met a few times, they have not had the opportunity to talk in detail.
Qingluan has changed a lot, it is plumper, and it is more pungent.
She is still enthusiastic about Li Chao.
Li Chao was more concerned about his daughter, because of the long distance, Qingluan did not bring his daughter.
Qingluan is very happy about Li Chao's current status, and after the Eastern Female Republic attached to the Tang Dynasty, the situation has not improved. Because the edicts in the southeast and the Tubo in the southwest are getting closer and closer.
In the past two years, the Tang Dynasty has been fighting with the Turks, but it has neglected the southwest.
The southwestern Tibetans have been destroyed and conquered many tribes one after another, and now their strength has become stronger and stronger, and the Tibetans are ambitious, trying to force Dongnu and other small countries to join Tibet.
Although the Tubo people have not been excessively persecuted now, the people of the Dongnu country also know that they will always meet in the end.
Qingluan came this time, firstly, to do trade, secondly, to step up the procurement of Datang's ordnance and equipment, and secondly, to hope that Datang could come forward to mediate the Tibetan people.
From the year before last to last year to this year.
For three consecutive years, Tubo sent an embassy to participate in the Zhengdan Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, and for three years, every time they came, in addition to bringing trade in goods, they also brought a request, that is, they wanted to marry the Tang Dynasty like Tuyuhun.
The Tibetans begged to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuan didn't agree before, but Li Shimin didn't agree this year, and Li Shimin still didn't agree this year.
In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was just a barbaric domain in the far southwest. Tubo, which is listed with the Dongnu Kingdom, the White Wolf Qiang and other vassal states.
They are not even as good as Tuyuhun, such a feudal state, they are actually embarrassed to come and ask to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty?
Wish for the moon!
Datang married the princess to Murong Fuyun, married Tong Yehu, married Jieli, and married Tuli, all of which were a last resort. Now a Tubo also wants to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, what a dream.
Li Chao reminded Li Shimin to be careful of Tibet, their strength is quite strong.
But Li Shimin didn't care, Tubo was strong? There are hundreds of thousands of cavalry? Tuyuhun has 200,000 soldiers and horses, none of which can be ranked in the top three of Li Shimin's attention list.
Honglu Temple.
Qingluan was very happy about Li Chao's arrival.
The women of the Southwest Yi tribe are more unrestrained in their feelings, especially women in a matriarchal society like them, and their feelings are not possessive. Li Chaolai, in her opinion, is just like their good lover in the village who came to climb the village at night.
"I'll go get the wine." Qingluan's eyebrows are full of spring, and her eyes are like silk.
"No, I just drank and I'm drunk again. Sit down and we'll talk. ”
"What are you talking about?" Qingluan was very direct, "Why don't we sleep!" ”
Li Chao's old face couldn't help but blush.
"Let's talk about our daughter, you haven't told me what she named her."
"It's my daughter." Qingluan and Li Chao once again emphasized that in their eastern women's country, men are not qualified to compete with women for the ownership of children, and they don't even have anything to do with children.
"Her name is Ling'er."
Li Chao was a little sad. How can your own seed not be your own daughter.
But the name Ling'er is really good.
"She will be the queen of the East Woman Country in the future." Qingluan said with a smile.
"Hmm." Li Chao nodded, but he was not very interested in it. A primitive matriarchal social kingdom with a population of hundreds of thousands, what is there to be happy about even if it is a queen.
He hopes to take his daughter out and live in this prosperous Central Plains, away from war, disease, and poverty, the prime minister's daughter must be happier than the daughter of a little queen of the East Female Country.
"Let's go to bed, talk in bed." Qingluan pulled Li Chao's hand.
Li Chao followed to the side of the bed, but he didn't have much sexual interest.
"Qingluan, how about you do me a favor?" Li Chao said to her.
"If there's anything, just say it!"
"The Tubo Mission and the Tuyuhun Mission are both living in this Honglu Temple with you, can you think of a way to provoke the Tuyuhun Mission and the Tubo Mission to fight, and in the end, it will be a big trouble, such as conflict and killing." Li Chao said unhurriedly.
Qingluan stared at Li Chao, "What do you want to do?" ”
"It's nothing, didn't you say that Tubo always persecuted you? I'll think of a way for you now, you can find a way to provoke the Tuyuhun delegation to fight with the Tubo mission, and it's best to kill a few, then this matter will get bigger, and Tubo and Tuyuhun may be about to go to war, and then won't it be a disaster? ”
Qingluan hugged Li Chao and kissed him fiercely on the face.
"You're so bad, but I like it so much, I like a man like you, it's very bad, but it's so bad." Qingluan remembered two years ago, in Chang'an. Li Chao came to her in the Xuanwumen Change, and he was like this.
