Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 574 Chapter 589: You know too much

"Oh? Xue Rengui?" Li Shimin was surprised when he heard the words, and the officials were also surprised. Xue Rengui is a military officer, so what advice can he give to the officials, but Xue Rengui is now a member of Tong Zhongshu's family, and he has become a prime minister. have a say.

Li Shimin had the same thoughts as the officials, he was not very optimistic about Xue Rengui, at least in terms of political affairs, but since Xue Rengui wanted to speak, he had to listen, so he spread his hands and said, "Xue Qing, please speak."

"Yes." Xue Rengui said, "Your Majesty, I think that the local government is turbid because of insufficient supervision. There are ten roads in the Tang Dynasty, and the officials in the Guannei Road are clear and bright, because the emperor is in Chang'an, and Chang'an is in the Guannei Road, but the distance from Chang'an is farther away." The farther away, the more worrisome the administration of officials, because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so the supervision is naturally weak."

"It's so high that the sky is high and the emperor is far away." Li Shimin spread his hands when he heard the words, "Keep on talking, I'm all listening."

"Yes." Xue Rengui continued, "Your Majesty wants to have a clear administration of officials and a long-term stability in the Tang Dynasty, so he needs to start with supervision. The minister suggested that Dali Temple branch offices can be set up in various states and counties of the Tang Dynasty, and the responsibilities of Dali Temple have also been changed. , local Dali Temple officials and inquiries are responsible for monitoring the style of local officials. In addition, the Dali Temple Local Sub-Administration will share the local government's civil disputes, criminal investigation cases, and local security responsibilities.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he spread his hands and said, "Go on, talk on."

"Yes." Seeing that Li Shimin seemed very interested, Xue Rengui continued, "The prefectural and county governments will be removed from hearing cases and will be handed over to the local Dali Temple, because the prefects and county governors and county officials are all civil servants and are not good at criminal investigation. , it is easy to try the wrong case, or not to try the case, so that the state and county officials can relax, and the people don't have to suffer."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help asking: "The people from Dali Temple in that place will try the case?"

"Your Majesty, there is specialization in art. Dali Temple was originally in charge of criminal investigation. When the local government office was established, special personnel could be sent to train criminal investigators, and arresters from the original prefecture and county government offices could be filled into the local government office of Dali Temple. They were originally in charge of this. Once you get in touch with it, you can learn it as soon as you learn it. From then on, the post of police officer belongs to Dali Temple exclusively, and the name of Dali Temple's inquiry will be cancelled."

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded slowly when he heard the words, "The local government office of Dali Temple has the right to supervise the officials of the prefecture and county, the right to supervise the people, and the duty to protect the people, but in this way, isn't Dali Temple powerful? Are you sitting too big?"

Xue Rengui said: "Your Majesty, the Dali Temple has the right to supervise the local government, but it cannot interfere with any affairs of the local government. Conversely, the local government also has the right to supervise the Dali Temple. For accidents, such as famine, natural disasters, man-made disasters, civil uprisings, etc., the local government has the right to order Dali Temple to dispatch personnel to assist the government in its work, and the local government is still the leader in terms of power."

"It turns out that they complement each other and are wonderful." Li Shimin stroked his hands and praised with a smile. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Xue Rengui's proposal.

So he looked at the ministers again, and raised his voice and asked: "What do you think, Xue Rengui's remonstrance, everyone can speak freely."

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all secretly exchanging opinions. After all, everyone had agreed to support Xue Rengui two days ago, and now Xue Rengui came out to show off. They are very uncomfortable. As a military general, you just need to fight well. Why do you want to learn from Li Hao and get involved in political affairs?

At this time, Li Hao suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

All the ministers held their breaths and concentrated on hearing Li Hao's opinion. They had already formed the habit of saying what Li Hao said in turn, and they were right.

Li Shimin was very happy to see that Li Hao had an idea, because Li Hao often put forward good strategies for governing the country in the court, so he spread his hands and said, "Speak!"

Li Haodao: "I do not agree with General Xue's suggestion."

"Oh?" Li Shimin frowned upon hearing the words, and asked puzzledly, "Why don't you agree?"

Li Hao said solemnly: "I feel that the method proposed by General Xue is too expensive. I just made a rough estimate. The Tang Dynasty has 360 states and more than 500 counties. If the Dali Temple official office is established in each state and county At least there are ten to 20 officials in each government office. County arresters are counted as 30 people, and state arresters are counted as hundreds of people. With so many people, the annual salary is at least 50 yuan. Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty is now The annual treasury revenue is only more than 300 million guan.”

Li Shimin couldn't help being moved when he heard the words. He really didn't calculate the account just now, and he was happy to patronize. Thinking about it carefully, 50 guan, that is one-sixth to one-seventh of Datang's annual income. Now I don't worry about money, but if the annual expenditure of 50 guan is increased, then if there is a war or a major disaster, I am afraid that there will be a dilemma. Moreover, according to Li Hao, 50 guan is only the minimum standard, which is very difficult. It may be higher, 60 guan? 70 guan?Li Shimin had a headache.

"Your Majesty!" Chu Suiliang suddenly stepped out and shouted, "I think what King Qiongnan said is wrong."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "Oh? Something's wrong there?"

Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty, just now General Xue has said that the arrests of the local government will be transferred to Dali Temple. These arrests are just a different place to work, and there will be no additional expenses at all. Therefore, King Qiongnan The 50 guan per year is nothing but alarmist talk, and I have calculated that the annual expenditure will not exceed 20 guan."

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard the words, and then his face showed ecstasy. One is a minimum of 50 guan, and the other is not more than 20 guan. There's still plenty of room to go.

Li Hao had already turned his head to look at Chu Suiliang, his face full of resentment, and Chu Suiliang also turned his head to look at Li Hao, with a look of color on his face.

"Poetry maniac, do you have any other opinions?" Li Shimin looked at Li Hao with a smile.

Li Hao said helplessly: "Returning to Your Majesty, I have nothing to say. I was careless just now. I didn't hear what General Xue said."

"Hahaha..." Li Shimin laughed happily, pointing at Li Hao, "I didn't expect you to be careless, it's rare, okay, let's settle the policy of dividing the punishment and government, Xue Rengui, you go back and write a I will submit a detailed memorandum, and I will take a closer look, and if there are no problems, it can be carried out."

"I obey the order!" Xue Rengui and Li Hao all retreated to their respective ranks.

Next, some matters were discussed at court, and it was almost noon when the court meeting ended. Li Shimin left first, and the officials saluted and sent them off, and then all civil and military officials walked out of the Tai Chi Hall one after another.

Li Hao has been frowning from just now until now, and he seems to be in a bad mood. When the civil officials saw him like this, they were very happy, inexplicably happy. Today, Li Hao had a lot to eat. In front of all civil and military officials and The emperor was ashamed.

Li Hao left the hall, walked across the jade bridge, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, although the weather was fine today, but his face was full of gloom, Li Hao sighed and shook his head slowly.

"Hey, why did Mr. Li shake his head and sigh?" A voice of gloating came out, and Li Hao didn't even need to turn around to know that it was Chu Suiliang again. Ever since Changsun Wuji became obedient, this old guy liked to fight against him , but Li Hao actually likes him very much, because Chu Suiliang is the leader of the opposition, and he is so stupid that he almost led the opposition into the ditch. Showing off to Li Hao, constantly showing the lower limit of IQ, sometimes Li Hao really almost couldn't help but want to laugh, he just held back.

It's the same this time, the national policy of dividing government and punishment proposed by Xue Rengui was taught by Li Hao. Flaws, Chu Suiliang was really tricked, you say stupid, stupid or not, it's just like crying, but Chu Suiliang doesn't think he is stupid, on the contrary, he thinks he is too powerful, he should come and follow at this time Li Haoyao showed off his power, let's see how you are.

Regarding Chu Suiliang's habitual provocation, Li Hao felt that it was time to improve his acting skills, otherwise he would be sorry for the audience, so he turned his head and frowned towards Chu Suiliang, and said coldly: "Master Chu seems to be very free, after every court meeting, he will Come and find me to ridicule and sarcastic."

Seeing Li Hao like this, Chu Suiliang was not to mention how happy he was, he could finally avenge himself for insulting him last time, so he said with a smile: "There will always be time, no matter how busy I am, I can't wait." I will never forget to come and say hello to Mr. Li."

"I greet your old mother!" Li Hao replied with a swear word, his eyes rolled so that the whites of his eyes were left.

Chu Suiliang didn't feel annoyed this time, and said with a sneer, "You scold, scold as much as you want, and there won't be many opportunities to scold in the future."

Li Hao snorted coldly, "Look at how successful you are."

"Isn't Mr. Li still clear about who the villain is going to succeed in?" Chu Suiliang kept smiling all the time, but that smile really didn't have any kindness.

Li Hao pointed at Chu Suiliang angrily, and snorted coldly: "You wait, you will cry sometime!" After saying that, he turned his head and strode away, looking very angry.

Because Li Hao walked fast, he was at the front and the officials were at the back. No one could see his face. If someone saw his face, they would find that Li Hao was smiling, and the smile was very happy.

All the way out of Chengtianmen, and then out of Zhuquemen, Li Hao went westward, his horse stopped on the west side, Ye Mengqiu and Zeng Yulin were waiting for him there.

However, they hadn't gone far when suddenly someone shouted from behind: "King Qiongnan, please stay!"

Li Hao stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look, and saw Di Renjie approaching quickly, and when he approached, Li Hao asked doubtfully, "What advice does Di Shaoqing have?"

Di Renjie glanced at Li Hao, and suddenly asked: "King Qiongnan is always thoughtful, why did he make such an obvious mistake when he was in the hall today?"

"Is it obvious?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "What Xue Rengui said was just a passing sentence, I didn't notice it."

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "It's understandable for others to make mistakes, but Di Mou still knows what you are, my lord. For such an important national policy, you must listen carefully to every word and not be careless."

Li Hao suddenly frowned slightly and looked at Di Renjie, and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Di just thinks that General Xue's policy of separating punishment and administration from government today seems to come from the hands of a prince."

Li Hao was shocked when he heard the words. He really is a smart person. He has done so rigorously, but he can see through him at a glance. If you don’t admire him, Li Hao suddenly looked at him with a smirk, and said slowly: "Huaiying, Huaiying ,you know too much."
