Well????????

As soon as Li Chen's words came out, the prime ministers didn't know how to explain to him. Since three generations, it is a matter of course for the common people to pay taxes and serve the imperial court, and who has ever heard of the government paying wages to the common people? It stands to reason that the emperor will not be unfamiliar with government affairs or idiotic to such a point, is this the consciousness that a feudal emperor should have? Wu Yuanheng patiently explained:

"Your Majesty, it is a matter of course for the people to serve the government, and there has never been any talk of paying wages. Besides, if a soldier often has to correspond to several people and pay wages, if so many people are requisitioned, then the cost will be at least doubled, not to mention the delay in farming, and the finances of the imperial court will not be able to afford it. ”

Several other prime ministers also agreed with Wu Yuanheng, and even Li Chun nodded quietly. Li Yu coughed and said:

"It's not that I don't know what Wu Aiqing said, it's just that I suddenly had an idea and wanted to sum it up with you."

On behalf of several prime ministers, Li Jifu said:

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Li Yuqing cleared his throat and said softly:

"I want to pay the people."

Seeing that the prime ministers were about to speak, Li Yu hurriedly said:

"Everyone, don't be impatient, and listen to me."

Li Yu sat back on the group bench with Li Chun's support, beckoned everyone to sit down, and said:

"My idea is actually based on what Pei Aiqing just said about reorganizing retired veterans into reserves. Here's how it works. Since the requisition of the people will delay production and delay production, it is better to change the requisition to employment. Recruit some veterans and displaced people who have been selected from the reserves, and then requisition some people in places with few people and many people, who are specially responsible for transporting grain, grass, military salaries, etc., and pay them some wages every month. In this way, there will be no delay in farming, and secondly, these people have something to do, and they will not be idle and have nothing to do. Thirdly, it can also prosper the place and create wealth. ”

Everyone can understand the benefits of the first two points, but the third point is a little confusing. This time, it was Li Yu who patiently explained:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must requisition the people to fight a war, and the court does not pay for the requisition. However, in this way, the people have no money to work back and forth, and they have to pay grain upside down, and the farming work at home is abandoned, and once the farming work is abandoned, it will inevitably affect the payment of taxes. Both the court and the peasants had nothing to gain, and both sides were defeated. That's how you put it, right? ”

Lu Yi nodded and said:

"Not bad."

Li Yu followed the good and seductive:

"Then what will happen if we pay the people now?"

Li Fandao:

"In this way, at least the people will not have a livelihood."

Li Yu encouraged:

"Yes, at least. So will there be other benefits? ”

Li Jifu was a pragmatic man, and immediately replied:

"Except for the requisitioned people, who may be reluctant to spend money, other people, especially the displaced people, will probably spend their wages when they get paid."

Pei Yan added:

"In this way, wherever the army goes, these people will follow, and the wages will be paid, and the place where the barns are located and the places where the army is stationed will be temporarily prosperous because of the flow of these wages, and the local taxes will also be temporarily increased."

Li Yu looked relieved, it seems that under his long-term nurturing, Pei Yan has established the concept that liquid money is money. Li Jifu has also understood, adding:

"Full text version read, update, faster, all in the literature network, computer station: .mobile station: àp. support literature, support! Not bad. Your Majesty, at the same time, the imperial court can also issue military salaries and wages through banks, so that the Datang Bank can expand its branches to the east of Luoyang and north of Yangzhou. In the first war of Huaixi, the Xingzhi treasure banknotes circulated to the people of Henan and Shannan, and the Xingzhi treasure banknotes could be circulated to the east of Taihang. ”

He is in power, and he is also the head of the household, and he is more sensitive to the situation of money, and the tension of copper has eased after the establishment of the reputation of the treasure banknote and the beginning of circulation, and the copper price in Guanzhong has begun to fall. Li Jifu took precautions, thinking that the recycling of copper resources would be in the hands of the state, and he was particularly enthusiastic about the expansion of Datang Bank and other banks. The prime ministers gossiped about the benefits of changing requisition to employment, and gave a few cheap sycophants to the emperor for thinking of such a great idea. Li Yu was also very excited, and felt that his idea of emulating the war to stimulate the economy and professionalize logistics support in imitation of later generations would become an epoch-making event in the world's military history. Just when Li Yu was fluttering, the crown prince Li Chun put on the posture of a student and said politely:

"Father, although this method is good, the sons have some doubts."

Li Chanted:

"Tell me about it."

Li Chundao:

"In this way, the logistics support mentioned by the father and the emperor is inevitably mixed, and the spies of Huaixi or other feudal towns can not be mixed in? When Erchen was camping in Huaixi, the officers and soldiers suffered several defeats, all because the spies inquired about the news, led the way to the thief army, and surprised our army. During the siege of Huaixi, Li Shidao sent thieves to burn our army's warehouse, if our army attacked Huaixi, Li Shidao would definitely use his brains in this regard. How can we prepare for that? ”

This is a very real problem. In history, Li Shidao sent thieves to burn the grain and grass of Heyin Courtyard, resulting in the supply of military salaries on the Huaixi front, and the army's morale fluctuated. Although Li Chun was only willing to fill in the gaps and rarely made suggestions when he was by Li Chen's side, Li Yu was very pleased to be able to look at the problem from the opposite side, and several prime ministers also praised Li Chun when they heard him say this. Li Chun was not seen ordinarily, occasionally showing his appearance, and a few words calmed down the big guy, and he successively raised other issues such as the centralized resettlement of military salaries and rations, and how to handle the two towns in Hebei. However, since this idea is considered to be affirmative, then the other problems are side effects. Li Chanted:

"I was also inspired by a few ministers to think of doing this. We haven't done this before, and since we think it's valuable and feasible, I think we can organize an organization to study this matter. Since the question was raised by the prince, and Lu Xianggong passed through the army and was in charge of the military department, I think the prince and Lu Xianggong should do this matter. ”

The others, of course, had no opinion. Today's Prime Minister's deliberations have shifted to other topics. There is hope that the worried problems will be solved, everyone is excited, and a series of issues have been decided in the discussion, or there is a direction for solutions. Li Yu enjoyed this atmosphere very much, and finally Li Yu stayed with the prime ministers for lunch.

Lunch is the standard of Li Chen's working meal, with four dishes and one soup: palace fried chicken, vegetarian three fresh, back to the pot meat, steamed fish, and chicken soup. These are the first creations of Li Chen, and if you follow the chronological order, they are indeed the first. However, these are home-cooked dishes in later generations, and they appear in the palace, which will be ridiculed, just like later generations ridiculed Gao E's continued "Dream of Red Mansions", and when you look at the breakfast written by Gao E, you know that this person has never been rich. But at the time, it was a rarity. Although Li Yu, who was born as a first-class family chef, no longer cooked in the Tang Dynasty, he still invented many dishes in the form of a flash of inspiration, starting from making zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival in the 21st year of Zhenyuan, which made the mouths of the imperial ministers inside and outside the country stiffen. Li Yu estimated that in the future, history would definitely record that he was the emperor who knew the best in history. Now, eating in the palace is not only an honor, and many officials above the fifth rank begin to think about the banquet as soon as they arrive at the big festival. And when Li Yu commended a certain minister, he didn't just give two silks like he had rewarded Pei Du at the beginning, and many times when the officials saw the envoy leaving the palace gate with two hand-held food boxes, they would smack their lips and say enviously:

"Which one has been blessed with?"

Or, "When will we be able to welcome a Chinese envoy with a food box?" "I completely forgot that the food boxes sent by the envoys were often filled with poisoned wine. Originally, in accordance with Li Chen's requirements, in order to take off the royal color, he opened a restaurant in Pingkangfang in a low-key manner, the grade is not low, but the business has been tepid, Li Yu has been there once, and he has given a few words to Li Zhongyan, and a few days later, this restaurant has put out a banner of two special dishes on the last day of every decade, and as a result, whether it is an official or a businessman, or even a citizen, they are all flocking to it, and they don't even look at the price of the dish. This is especially true of the losers in the towns. Later, Li Yu secretly commented on the losers, saying:

"Taixi, that is, the Great Qin (referring to the Roman Empire, when Emperor An of the Han Dynasty sent envoys to send elephants from the sea as gifts, so it was recorded in the history books and known to most literati. There was a sage named Archimedes, and Archimedes said, 'Give me a fulcrum, and I can pry up the earth.'" The earth is a very big and heavy ball, full of people, and many delicious birds and beasts. Yes, the people under the ball are all upside down, and they don't fall------ I see, give these losers a pair of chopsticks, they can eat all over the earth. How big is the Earth? Well, it seems to be a little smaller than Datang??????"

This restaurant quickly became one of the largest restaurants in Chang'an, and its turnover skyrocketed, making Li Yu very happy. By the way, Li Yu was worried about two things at that time, one was where to get the private money (the emperor also has to live, and he has to support his own secret forces!) One is the problem of the grain statistics department spying on the extended tentacles of intelligence. The introduction of Imperial Cuisine has solved both of these problems to a greater or lesser extent.

Although today's lunch was simple, these dishes were made by the imperial chef with all the color and flavor, so that the prime ministers could feast on them. In fact, the prime ministers deliberately discussed for so long, and they did not mean to take advantage of the emperor's happiness today. However, Li Yu also understands the prime ministers, there are many people and few dishes, Li Yu is afraid that the prime ministers will not be full, so he ordered to add vegetables, and the prime ministers thought that they could rub more tricks today, but the dishes came up with four dishes and one soup, but one per person??????

The prime ministers did not complain and ate deliciously, but Li Yu always felt that the taste was insufficient. There are no potatoes and peanuts in the diced chicken, and they are replaced by other things, and the cooks can figure out that chestnuts are used. There are no chili peppers in the meat, there are no vegetables in the vegetarian three fresh, and you can only eat more in the summer, as for the soup, it would be nice if there were tomatoes! But these things, as well as the corn and sweet potatoes that later spread all over the country, all stayed in their hometown in the Americas, and they didn't know that Emperor Li Yu in the distant Tang Dynasty was deeply missing them. Li Yu sometimes remembered that there was a story in "The Son of Heaven" that Jiang Chong set up a beauty plan for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and when the beauty appeared on a scheduled occasion, there was a cornfield behind her, and at this time, Li Yu especially wanted to drag the choreographer over and beat him. Li Yu finally understood why many traversers wanted to expand infinitely in the end, the loneliness that did not belong to this time and space, and the ** to restore their original life, at least because of the diet. Even Li Yu is now looking forward to the sea business in the south to build a sea ship, go for a walk in the Americas, and get some pepper seeds and tomatoes and so on. Of course, when he was concerned about lewdness, Li Yu also thought that if shipbuilding technology progressed, he could support Henghai from the sea on a large scale, and even land from the Jiaodong Peninsula, and attack Li Shidao on the back of the abdomen.

However, this operational plan for landing operations to flank Li Shidao was simply rejected at the military meeting the next day. Li Yu felt that he could not communicate with these generals who were backward in military thinking, while Li Jifu, Lu Zhen, Yi Shen, Han Yu, Gui Deng, Feng Yan, Li Yu, Li Guangyan, Xue Ping, Li Wentong and others felt that the emperor's ideas were too whimsical. The generals among these people are all tigers on land, and they are okay with water warfare using rivers, but everyone is afraid of naval battles. On the contrary, Liu Zongyuan, the deputy envoy of the Du Branch, who attended the meeting as an observer, agreed with Li Yu's idea, but he also pointed out that there were great uncertainties in naval warfare, and there was often a danger of death of men and ships.

In fact, the generals' doubts are very reasonable, on the one hand, the thief first captures the king, although the Qingqing is close to the sea and has a long coastline, but its center is in Yunzhou, which is inland, and the troops are marching from the west and south, which is conducive to the delivery of troops. If you want to shake the foundation of Li Shidao, you can do it by marching from Shuyang and Cangzhou deep into the hinterland of Yuqing, and the safety factor is much higher. Deploy troops at sea, unless the situation cannot be opened on land. But looking at the appearance of everyone here, it seems that you can't open the situation on land? The use of troops is the right way, and the attack on the sea only belongs to the strange soldiers tactically, and the strange soldiers are not impossible to use on land, so why bother so much to run to the sea?

On the other hand, since the battle of Baicun Jiangkou in the time of Gaozong killed the Japanese naval division, the naval army of the Tang Dynasty no longer has an opponent who is not afraid of death and wants to touch the tiger's butt on the sea. Unlike on land, there are two battles every once in a while, first with the Turks, then with the Tibetans, and with the Hui, plus the continuous civil wars. As the saying goes, the fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth, the use of advance and retreat, Dugu seeks defeat if he does not die, no one competes with him and must become Dugu will be defeated, so many years of sailors have not fought a decent battle at sea except for the great use of Baekje, such a degree of military degradation can be imagined with your toes, and it is impossible to say whether the ship will be driven directly to the Dragon Palace at sea. Therefore, Li Yu tactfully appeased His Majesty the Emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the sailor should practice first, and the minister who has practiced for a year or two will be of great use. Maybe you can use it when you fight the Bohai Sea in the future? ”

Li Yu said this, which made the army generals very angry, and this means that before the water division re-formed its combat strength, Ji Qing had already been killed. Not only was the Qing Qing killed, but Hebei was pacified, otherwise where would the saying come from to fight the Bohai Sea? To tell the truth, Bohai is just a county, but the place is too far away, and the capital is in the Mudanjiang River. But this is actually not to blame Bohai, this is the order of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty according to the feudal system, Bohai is at most soy sauce, do him x thing? The Bohai Prefecture was designated to have a relationship with the Qing Dynasty, and every time the Bohai County sent an envoy to pay tribute, it was from the Qing Dynasty, but this relationship changed after the prestige of the Tang Central Committee declined.

The relationship between the minister and the emperor is often that the arms can't twist the thighs, but many times the embodiment is that one thigh can't twist so many arms. Li Yu had no choice but to retract this genius idea, but out of a strong desire to make an authentic palace fried chicken, Li Yu the Great strengthened his determination to develop the maritime armed forces. The development of shipbuilding has received unprecedented attention, which has exceeded the needs of the development of maritime trade. Emperor Li Yu personally designed many patterns of warships, and Princess Youning once again found a warship style with an extremely wide deck from the waste paper pile, which was marked with many slender things with branches and tails on both sides, and Youning, who was not diminished, asked Li Yu what this was, and Li Yu replied:

"Grasshoppers."

The puzzled Princess Youning stared at the pattern for a long time and muttered:

"This drawing is marked with something called 'aircraft carrier', is it used to hold grasshoppers? How small the ship has to be. ”

And after many of Emperor Li Yu's designs were taken to the workshop anonymously, the technician, who had always been honest, shouted, beat his chest and said to the visitor:

"My lord, after all these years, after so many years, can you not bring us the drawings of these boats that sink in the water? The little ones are pressed to build new big ships, and the little ones have a lot to do! ”

A few years after Li Yu's death, a sea ship marked with the word "Shenwu" on the side of the ship slowly sailed into the Taiji Ocean named after the Taiji Palace, looking at the vast sea area in the east, the tube ship on the ship sighed:

"Emperor Shenwen Shengwu, the chili pepper you wanted, the minister finally found it!"

Because this war across the ocean was triggered by the last wish of Emperor Li Yu to eat a real plate of palace fried chicken, it was called the "Palace Explosion Chicken War" in the history of later generations. --- above is pure nonsense, it is a gift, and no money is charged.
