The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 512 There is a big crisis after the reform.

That night, Li Shimin read Li Yin's household registration reform plan.

Can't help but shoot the case.

And laughing wildly.

Concubine Yang was so frightened that she hurried over to ask.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter!? Did something happen?"

"Good good good good!"

Li Shimin said five good words in a row.

This makes people feel very surprised, is Li Shimin crazy?Otherwise how could it be like this.What are you so happy about?
Then he said: "Why did I put such a good thing to read at night? It should be read during the day. Why did I focus on the pen? It's really putting the cart before the horse!"

He said with some regret.He has been tinkering with the pen all night, and has never had time to read Li Yin's manuscript. When he just put down the pen, he only read it, and when he saw the excitement, he found it admirable.

This made Concubine Yang on the side very puzzled.

What is the emperor today?
What is a fountain pen, and what good things have you seen?Let him be so excited, this is never before!

She didn't understand what Li Shimin said at all.

So he asked curiously: "Your Majesty... what are you doing?"

"Aifei, take a look, and see if this household registration reform plan is wonderful! Is every point written here very in place? If these points are followed, then who else is willing to hide the population? Then Are you still worried that Datang is not strong? This plan is really good! It's wonderful!"

Li Shimin put a piece of paper in front of Concubine Yang.

He kept praising Li Yin's plan.But they deliberately covered up Li Yin's signature!
"Let the concubine take a look!"

Concubine Yang took the paper and looked at it.

Suddenly felt shocked.

Her focus is not on the content inside, but on other points.No matter how Li Shimin covered it up, she could still recognize the handwriting.

"Is this handwriting stupid? And why are the characters so small! They are so clearly written! This kid's brushwork has improved! You can write such small characters with a brush!"

The size of brush characters is greatly limited, and it is basically impossible to write characters the size of a pen.

At this time, Concubine Yang didn't know that there was a fountain pen, so she could only praise Li Yin for her good calligraphy.

"That's what the pen wrote! Just this pen! Look!"

Li Shimin showed off, and demonstrated what Li Yin demonstrated again, but did not say that Li Yin did it, which made Concubine Yang amazed.

"I see, it's really a big change in a small world. A small pen can have such benefits. It seems that there will be a huge reform in the literati circle in the future. With such a small character, can it be more paper-saving in the future? "

"Aifei, this is not the key, the key is to see if the plan here is very good! Take a look!"

Only then did Li Shimin realize this.I was so excited just now, I showed off my pen.

Concubine Yang began to look at it.

As a princess of the former dynasty, her literary talent is not weaker than that of Empress Changsun.His understanding is no worse than that of Li Shimin, and he also has his own views on politics.

She also has some say in the implementation of some policies.

Although not as big as Empress Changsun, Li Shimin would still listen to some words.

Take today's matter as an example, Li Shimin probably also wants to hear her opinion.

"This... I'm afraid..."

When she saw it, her face turned pale.

Li Shimin felt that something was wrong.

From the looks of it, Concubine Yang didn't support what she meant to do.

"If this is done, there will be chaos in Datang!"

Therefore, she refused, and this household registration will only intensify the conflict.

Put Datang in danger.

Li Shimin didn't care.

"This kid dares to propose such a plan, so I dare to do it! For the future prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, even if some people are sacrificed, so what! Besides this plan, is there any other feasible method?"

Li Shimin is full of confidence.

Some of these programs coincide with my own ideas.

Since the day he became emperor, he has always been unhappy with the current household registration plan, but no one has ever proposed a perfect plan to replace the existing system. After all these years, he was finally cracked by Li Yin .

The above rules and regulations are written very clearly.

This made Li Shimin's determination even stronger.

In addition, the national treasury is full recently, he has money, and with Li Yin's industrial support, he doesn't have to look at the face of the aristocratic family anymore!

So no matter what, he will implement this plan.

Concubine Yang has different considerations.

This may be the first time she has rejected Li Yin's plan in a while.

Because he was afraid that Li Shimin would not be able to control the family.

But Li Shimin believes that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain.If you don't do it now, what will you do later?Is it just procrastinating?
At the same time, he also wanted to find out the real population of Datang.

This population is the foundation of his country!
It is wealth and the foundation of a strong country.

What Concubine Yang is worried about is that the Shengtang Group is growing, driving and affecting the life of most of Chang'an City.

Even the entire Chang'an city has a direct or indirect relationship with Shengtang Group.

The so-called moving the whole body by pulling one hair, if you really do that, I'm afraid it's not good.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to implement it?"

"Why? Can't you? Didn't you always support that kid? Why did it change today? On the contrary, you think his plan is not good!?"

"Because this change is too big, it is so big that people feel suffocated, as if they are about to touch a storm, that feeling is very uncomfortable! And this is not a good thing for Shengtang Group, after all, that There are too many intertwined."

"My concubine, you think too much. Sometimes I admire that kid's courage. His courage is worth learning! So, you don't have to talk too much! I will call all civil and military officials to arrange this matter go down!"

Li Shimin directly made up his mind to arrange whatever he said.

Concubine Yang knew that her opinion was useless, so she had to give up.

She murmured in her heart, maybe she was wrong this time.

That night, Li Shimin summoned all civil and military officials to discuss until the early hours of the morning.

Finally, the division of labor is confirmed.

At the same time, the news spread out early the next morning, and all the powerful and aristocratic families were in chaos.

They knew the news in advance and immediately blew up.

He said he was going to protest, or even confronted him directly.

Said that the court could not be allowed to go on like this.

This is fundamental to harming them.

At this time, manpower is the key, and all the families are in a panic.

Whether it's the Wang family, the Li family, or the Chang'an Cui family that was taken under Li Yin's command.

The Zheng family and Lu family who cooperated with him.

Or some big and small aristocratic families are in a mess.

These people control about [-]% of Datang's resources.The population of them is astonishing!
If Li Shimin is allowed to go on like this, they are afraid that they will lose more than [-]% of their profits.

Because without people, it is equivalent to giving up many things that were originally done by people.

So, they started arguing.

In just three days, a lot of stress was on the horizon.

Facing their demands, the officials inside the imperial court were also anxious.

There are also some officials of the aristocratic family, who have repeatedly asked Li Shimin to stop this behavior.

Li Shimin ignored it and implemented it directly.

Many aristocratic families directly went on strike to reject the household registration reform.

Some people even went to the government to make trouble.

Chang'an, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, fell into chaos.

The most talked about in the entire Tang Dynasty is this reform.

Compared with the aristocratic families, the people living at the bottom are in favor.

However, they have been oppressed for many years and have no spiritual support, but their voices are very small.

Only sporadic people stood up against the family.

But what they get will be sold to other people, even far away.

Some people were brutally murdered, and the situation is afraid that things will become more and more troublesome.

In Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was very angry.

He was furious with a large number of notebooks in his hand.

"What did everyone do! Family riots happened everywhere! Don't you know how to stop them?"

Li Shimin said very angrily.

"There is turmoil everywhere! Where are the people in the Ministry of War?"

He also did not expect that a household registration reform would trigger such a huge repercussions.

The entire Tang Dynasty was a group of enemies.

Cheng Yaojin said directly: "These people are rebels! I think I can kill chickens and monkeys! Let them know that the current court is not the previous court!"

Cheng Yaojin advocated killing one as an example to others, so as to achieve good results.

Many generals have the same opinion as him. Some people just need to be beaten. If you don't beat them, you don't know what it means to be strong.

But Fang Xuanling said: "I think, let them make trouble for a few days, I don't believe it, they can go to heaven! Most of the merchants still exist!"

They feel that killing is too bloody and should be dealt with in other ways.

"If they let this go on, the market may be in turmoil again!"

Wei Zheng said: "Regarding this point, I think we should control the price well, and whoever dares to raise the price will be punished! If they are punished, they will not be able to!"

Everyone put forward their own opinions.

Li Shimin couldn't listen to it at all.

He is in a mess now, if he had known, he would have listened to Concubine Yang.

It's too late to say anything now.

But there is no regret medicine in the world.

What can be done now?

I can only deal with it.

"Dai Zhou, what do you think? Do you have an opinion on this matter?"

Li Shimin suddenly asked Dai Zhou.

In the past few days, he has been spending time in Shengtang Group.

Therefore, the contact with Li Yin is relatively frequent, and he is the Minister of the Ministry of Households, so it is not very useful to ask others except him.

"Your Majesty, I just received a newspaper, please read it first!"

Dai Zhou didn't reply positively, but took out a newspaper.

This is the newspaper this morning.

Li Shimin realized that he hadn't read the newspaper today.

"Submit it! Let me see!"

After he took the newspaper and read it, he was shocked.

"This... this kid can do it!"

The ministers were puzzled as to what he was talking about.

"Your Majesty, what did the papers say?"

"The Zhenguan newspaper published an article, saying that the household registration reform is good, let the people cooperate, if you don't cooperate, you are hindering the progress of history, and you are sinners! You also encourage the people to stand up and fight for their own interests, otherwise wait They are still enslaved. In this way, the aristocratic family might have no choice, right?"

That's the magic of newspapers.

It can control the direction of public opinion.

In this way, the people have a spiritual support.

The imperial court has issued official news to show their determination, and they naturally believe in the official.

Presumably, more and more people will stand up in the future.

Resist the insistence of the family.

But Hou Junji said: "How can a newspaper turn the situation around? Is Your Majesty's opinion on this newspaper too arbitrary!"

"Hou Junji, I have a basis. As long as you control the power of public opinion, you will definitely get huge support, and the majority will win over the minority. This is a historical inevitability. Unexpectedly, that kid is so thoughtful. In this way, is it true?" For good deeds!"

Li Yin can think a lot, this time, his newspaper can be regarded as a meritorious service.

Push the trend of public opinion to the court.

No matter how big the family is and how many people there are, can it be more than the general public?
"Your Majesty, this may not have been verified, we have to think of other ways."

To put it bluntly, I just don't believe that Li Yin's newspaper can do this.

"Then do you have other ways? You can tell me and listen."

Li Shimin asked in turn.

"I think it can be carried out step by step, cancel the reform first, appease the emotions of the aristocratic families, proceed slowly, and carry out the reform later!"

At this time, Li Jing said directly: "No, changing the order from day to day will damage the majesty of the court! It cannot be canceled at this time! Otherwise, where is the prestige of the court?"

"Then what do you think?"

"I agree with General Cheng's suggestion, these people are too arrogant, we must not be used to them. You have to make an example of them."

"Reckless! Really reckless, this is not how to govern the country!"

"Hou Junji, say it again! Can this be called recklessness? It's just ridiculous."

Cheng Yaojin was upset when he heard it, and immediately turned on him.

"What I said is true, isn't it? What else can you do besides killing people? These people don't just kill them. They have demands now. We have to listen to what they think, and we can't hit them with a stick. Death, otherwise how can you convince the crowd?"

"These people should be punished and charged with the crime of rebellion. Let's see who dares to say no!"

"Fool!"

"Say it again, I will beat you to death!"

There was a quarrel at the scene.

The two refused to give in to each other, the more they quarreled, the more fierce they were, and many people were involved. In just a short while, the civil and military officials were divided into two factions, and no one would accept the other.

"Enough! Are you talking about the market here? Shut up!"

Li Shimin was furious.

It's already this time, do you still have the mind to argue?
Everyone stopped.

"Report!"

At this time, a eunuch came to report.

"What's the matter?"

Only then did everyone quiet down.

"A large number of people appeared in various parts of the Tang Dynasty to stop the troubled family. The conflicts between the two sides aroused, and countless people were injured."

Li Shimin was shocked.

I am not chaotic, but the self below is chaotic.

Fang Xuanling said at this time: "The newspapers have played a role. Your Majesty, we should control the two sides at this time, put the troublemakers in the sky prison, and protect the people. Use this as an excuse to beat the aristocratic family!"

"Your Majesty, I think the same is true!"

Wei Zheng also said.

Hou Junji said just now that it didn't work, but now it has worked.

After those people read the newspaper, they appeared to stop the troubles of the family.

If one side of the aristocratic family gathers and there is no trouble, the court cannot arrest them, but if the common people participate and someone is injured, then they can favor one side and directly kill chickens to make an example of monkeys.

And in the name of justice.

Li Shimin was overjoyed.

"Okay, Li Jing, let you handle this matter! The sooner the better, go!"

"As ordered!"

Li Jing left the Tai Chi Palace and hurried to the spot where the accident happened.

Going out this time will definitely shut up the family.

Li Shimin was afraid that no one would cause trouble.

These people, lock them up for ten days and half a month, and see if they dare.

If they go on strike and don't do business, then someone will make money instead of them.

"You still have something to do, if you have nothing else, just retreat!"

Li Shimin is exhausted today.

But at this time, another eunuch came to report.

"Report!"

"What's the matter?"

he asks.

"At this moment, the Sixth Prince has joined forces with the Cui family, Zheng family, and Lu family to start purchasing a large number of shops! The speed is extremely fast!"

"What kind of shops are they?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Shops that are closely related to life. I heard that he is going to fight against the family! At this time, the family began to panic. Because the sixth prince bought more than [-] shops in Chang'an City."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was given a powerful shot.

This is forcing the family to submit.

Let them dare not go on strike again, because of this strike, the entire market may be eaten up by Li Yin.

Their advantage will no longer exist.

With Li Yin's momentum, it started from Chang'an, and then spread around.

In Li Yin's words, since you don't do business, then I will.

If you don't want to make money, then I will make it.

Someone said:

"The sixth prince is really powerful, and he can dominate the family with his own power!"

"Father and son really have one heart! If this is the case, then with the help of the imperial court, we will be able to win the family! Let them know that this world is still the world of His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty's decision is really wise, and the help of the sixth prince is really gratifying!"

While people were saying good things about Li Shimin, they also didn't forget to praise Li Yin.

But at this time, Li Shimin looked at it differently.

"You son of a bitch, this move is really ruthless."

Fang Xuanling said: "Yes, the tricks of the Sixth Prince are shocking!"

Li Shimin said again: "He is trying to force the aristocratic family to submit, and at the same time to help his own expansion. He wants to control most of the shops in Chang'an. This kid really thinks too much!"

This is what Li Shimin thought.

It is also a shocking existence.

Everyone was also shocked.

It didn't occur to them, and that seemed to be the case.

Now Li Shimin is riding a tiger.

But Li Yin took advantage of the situation.

It can be said that Li Yin's order is cheaper.

Li Shimin has nothing to do with him, and he feels like being led by the nose.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that the Sixth Prince's heart is attached to the Great Tang, and he is standing on the same front as the imperial court!"

"Why do I think he's making money?"

"His Majesty……"

"Okay, I don't want to mention this matter anymore! This matter will be handled as just now!"

Everyone didn't say anything.

Suddenly Li Shimin really wanted to know what Li Yin would do next.

So, he deliberately asked Dai Zhou: "Dai Zhou, after you went to Shengtang Group these few days, do you know what that kid thinks next?"

Everyone thought that Dai Zhou would be questioned.

Unexpectedly, he said: "I have learned a lot after going to the Shengtang Group in the past few days. The sixth prince has analyzed the current stage and proposed the next direction."

"Huh? What's the next direction?"

"Have more children and more fields!"

"Huh? What direction is this? It's just too ridiculous. Now people want to have children, but they can't give birth, right? The field is only so small, how to operate it?"

"Well, I have heard him say this. He said that births can be encouraged. One child can set up ten taels without a high upper limit, and the people are encouraged to reclaim new land. These new lands are tax-free for the first five years... He also said Yes, the Yue State introduced a series of policies to encourage childbearing in order to avenge. King Goujian of Yue tried his best to "gather together for ten years, learn lessons for ten years" before defeating Wu State and dominating the southeast. Their childbearing policy also contributed a lot. At the same time, The sixth prince also proposed that pregnant women can receive public medical treatment in the future, as long as they dare to conceive, the imperial court will pay for the diseases during pregnancy!..."

Dai Zhou said a lot of ideas.

Every idea feels incredible.

Li Shimin felt that there were a lot of feasible points, but he didn't explain it on the spot, he just said that it could be discussed.

And let the civil servants copy it down as a memorandum.

"By the way, the sixth prince also said..."

"say what?"

Just about Li Yin, that's quite a lot.

God knows what Li Yin said to Dai Zhou.

He actually let an old man act as his microphone.

"He said that recently he was studying how to double the yield of high wheat!"

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Some people also said: "How is that possible? Since ancient times, the output of wheat has been so small, how can it be doubled? It's a joke."

"The sixth prince is overthinking his abilities!"

"We didn't judge the previous words, but the latter one is too nonsense!"

"Yeah, how did he increase production? Impossible!"

To those who supported Li Yin, they said: "The sixth prince will succeed in whatever he does. This time, I believe he will succeed as well."

"I also believe in him. He has never let us down. Shengtang Group has changed many people's living habits, and I support his changes."

"If the output of wheat can be increased, then prices will fall again, which will benefit the common people. In the future, the common people will be able to eat more, and they will be able to afford to have more children in the future."

At present, the civil and military officials in the imperial court are directly divided into two factions.

For and against.

Because what Li Yin did was too controversial.

"Dai Zhou, what do you think?"

Li Shimin ignored everyone and asked this question instead.

"This, I think I can let Li Chunfeng take a look, after all, only he knows this."

As a scientist, Li Chunfeng knows a lot.

Therefore, Dai Zhoucai suggested that Li Shimin send Li Chunfeng there.

Upon hearing this, Li Chunfeng immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, I am also curious about how the sixth prince will do this, so I can go and see."

"Okay, since that's the case, let Li Chunfeng go and have a look. I also want to know how that kid did it!"

Finally, Li Shimin dealt with some other matters, and the civil and military officials dispersed.

But Li Chunfeng left the palace and went straight to Shengtang Group.
