Chapter 1027: Li Shimin's Question
Li Shimin stayed in Jingyang for three days, except for returning to the villa of the academy to rest at night, and during the day he was wandering around Jingyang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The change in Jingyang was too unexpected, in every way.
Originally, I just thought that the tax revenue in Jingyang would be increased, which was nothing more than the amount of taxes collected every year.
But now it seems that it has become more than just a tax increase. There seems to be a ...... There is also the way people live.
Sunrise, sunset, spring planting, summer long, autumn harvest, winter storage. Plough the fields during the day and hemp at night. This has been the case for thousands of years.
But the people of Jingyang seem to have changed now. The connection between people and the fields is gradually becoming looser in Jingyang.
Li Shimin also doesn't know whether this change is good or bad.
This couldn't help but teach Li Shimin to suddenly remember what he had said from Xia Hongsheng's mouth at the beginning -- one day, land will no longer be a human bondage.
But if people are no longer bound to the land, then who will farm the land, who will produce food, and feed the countless mouths of hundreds of people in the Tang Dynasty?
"Your Majesty, the man you sent out has returned." The guard spoke out the door.
"Let him come up." Li Shimin straightened his mind for a while, and sat back on the sofa from the huge floor-to-ceiling window - in Li Shimin's villa in the academy, the study designed by Xia Hongsheng came from a modern and simple design that Li Shimin had never seen before, and it was the most relaxed and peaceful among Li Shimin's many studyes, so he liked it the most.
The door opened, and several people walked in, bowing and saluting.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and several others visited and investigated for many days, and found that the people in Jingyang City, as Xiahou said, were all amazed by the new law practiced in Jingyang. The lowly level has been secretly spying for many days, but no one has said anything bad about the new law. After one of them saluted, he said to Li Shimin.
"Not only that, but because the new Jingyang law only limits people living in Jingyang County, and does not limit household registration, a large number of people from other places have moved to Jingyang this year because they want to follow the new Jingyang law." Another said.
Li Shimin asked: "The people have no complaints about this?" ”
"Yes." Several people replied.
"No one resists the implementation of the new law? When it is implemented, can there be officials who obstruct it, or are they greedy for ink? Li Shimin asked again.
Another person replied: "Back to Your Majesty, at the beginning, there were indeed people who obstructed the resistance. Most of them are from prestigious families, or scholars and doctors. Officials are greedy for ink, but they have not found out. wanted to come to Jingyang to try out the new law, and Xia Hou was quite cautious when he chose people. ”
Li Shimin nodded, he could trust the skills of these people. So he said: "Very good, you wait and rest for the night, and tomorrow I will go to various places to see those people, I am not in Chang'an, why are they so timid?" Hehe......"
Li Shimin's face showed a hint of mocking sneer, and then waved his hand.
Several people bowed and bowed and left the place.
After those people left, Li Shimin got up again and walked to the window, stood for a while, turned around and walked out.
said that Xia Hongsheng was here, and after returning to Jingyang, Li Shimin knew that he was homesick and did not let him accompany him, so he gave Xia Hongsheng a holiday and let him go home to reunite with his family and rest.
At this moment, Xia Hongsheng can really be said to have come to the bitter end, and enjoy the blessings of all people-
The head was resting on Li Li's knee pillow, it was Yuexian who gently shook the Luo fan on his side to send the cool breeze, it was Xu Hui who opened the fruit and sent it into his mouth, and Youji covered her mouth to eat and laugh beside her, and listened to Xia Hongsheng's bragging with a look of adoration.
The life of your dreams!
Xia Hongsheng sighed contentedly in his heart.
Life is like this, what more can you ask for!
“…… It is said that at that time, the short blade was pressed against the heart of Ben Gongzi, and when he saw that the tip of the knife was about to pierce in, Ben Gongzi immediately used a move to fold the plum hand of Tianshan, and Ling Bo took a slight step under his feet in an instant. So how was the Assassin an opponent of Ben Gongzi? With just one move, he screamed and retreated......"
"Childe!" Qi Yong's voice appeared outside the courtyard.
Xia Hongsheng was suddenly interrupted and bragged, and turned his head outside with some unhappiness: "What are you doing? ”
Qi Yong replied outside: "Childe, Your Majesty is here, in the front hall!" ”
Xia Hong sat up suddenly: "I said that I would have a holiday!" ”
"Husband, the concubine may not have seen her father for a long time, is it okay for the concubine to accompany you?" Li Li asked.
"Naturally, hehe...... Xia Hongsheng stood up and said to the girls: "Wait until I go to see Your Majesty, and when I come back, I will tell you about the heroic deeds of my son on the battlefield!" ”
After that, amid the laughter of the women, Xia Hongsheng and Li Lizhi walked out of the courtyard and went to the front hall.
When he arrived in the front hall, Xia Hongsheng immediately went over to salute: "The little son-in-law is sleeping in the back, I don't know that my father-in-law is coming, and I hope that my father-in-law will forgive me!" ”
"It doesn't matter. I also woke up in the afternoon and came out for a walk. Li Shimin said with a smile and waved his hand: "Virtuous son-in-law, sit down and say, I suddenly thought of a question, so I stopped by to ask the virtuous son-in-law." ”
"Father-in-law, please speak!" Xia Hongsheng asked.
"I have seen the changes in Jingyang in the past few days, and I have found that the people of Jingyang have separated their hearts from farming, and in addition to farming, they will more or less do some business, or work as hired labor, and make some money. I couldn't help but think of what my son-in-law had said, saying that one day, the land would no longer be a bondage to the people. I would like to ask, if now, I am not allowed to sell grain to Jingyang outside of Jingyang County, and only allow Jingyang to be self-sufficient, then what should Jingyang be? ”
Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood Li Shimin's doubts.
After thinking about it, he asked, "My father-in-law is worried that if the new law is implemented, the burden on the people will be reduced, and commerce will be promoted, and the people will devote themselves to business, so the land will be wasted and the grain production will be reduced?" ”
Li Shimin nodded: "Not bad." ”
"This is indeed a problem. At the moment, there is no need to worry about this, because the proportion of Jingyang's population is there, and the majority of people are engaged in farming, and the circular agriculture that Jingyang has implemented for many years has a higher yield, so I am not afraid of its impact for the time being. In the future, the new law will be fully implemented, and it will be a long time before this problem becomes apparent. Xia Hongsheng said: "However, the pursuit of profit, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit." At that time, the market has its own ability to regulate and control, and the government can also carry out macroeconomic regulation and control through policy tilting and other ways to promote the transfer of the industry. ”
"I've never heard of these new words." Li Shimin leaned back and said with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, come carefully for me." ”
