Qian Song

Chapter 328 Li Cun: I Want to Steal Jade and Fragrance

...

Faced with the chaotic political situation and the still water that may erupt at any time, Li Cun did not panic at all.

After Li Cun stopped the war, Li Cun immediately eliminated the extreme left and extreme right politicians by means of thunder.

Li Cun admits that there are some talented people among the extreme left and extreme right politicians.

But the talents of these people have been abolished by their paranoid thinking, and it is useless to keep the political environment except for the disaster of the Daqian Dynasty.

The key point is that Li Cun, who has obtained most of the talents from the Liao Empire and the Zhao and Song Dynasties and trained a lot of talents himself, now really has no shortage of talents.

The key point is that if these paranoid politicians are not eliminated, the Dagan Dynasty will definitely never live in peace, and may even follow in the footsteps of the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

Li Cun once read a book called "The Common Bottom Line".

This book talks about a concept, that is, a good political environment requires good leftists and good rightists.

What are good leftists and good rightists?
That is, the two sides can play games together according to the rules of the game that they have jointly identified. Don’t just turn over the table and say, oops, if you overturn the dog food bowl, people can’t eat it. Instead, forget it, the status quo is not good. , These people are called bad leftists and bad rightists.

Only when everyone sits together, according to the established rules of the game, everyone discusses whether they want more benefits or more bottom lines. In the end, the two sides reach a compromise, which is called a common bottom line. Only in this way will the long-term stability of the country be born.

Next, Li Cun used his own advantages to bind a large number of ministers of the Dagan Dynasty, that is, to marry.

This time, Li Cun was not only unable to get in and out, but also married a large number of daughters while personally accepting the daughters of civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty, various aristocratic families, and meritorious upstart families.

Of course, because Li Cun's daughters are still too young, they definitely cannot marry now.

But, it's okay, we can get engaged first.

Therefore, Li Cun became in-laws with all the important civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty, various aristocratic families, and meritorious and upstart families.

One of the more typical ones is that Yue Yun, the eldest son of Yue Fei, was engaged to Li Lichun, the eldest daughter of Li Cun. Li Cun and Yue Fei agreed that when Li Lichun was 14 years old, he would marry into the Yue family.

Not only with Yue Fei's family.

Among the civil servants, dozens of important ministers including Lu Jiang, Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Li Guang, Chen Yu, Chen Kangbo, Chen Gongfu, Song Jiang, Zhan Du, Mei Zhili, Lu Haowen, Zhang Bangchang, Liu Yanzong, Shi Liai, Han Fang, etc. , Li Cun married a daughter to each family, and then you are all relatives of Li Cun with me, and you are all relatives of my Li Cun.

Among the generals, Zhang Shi, Zhao Han'er, Kong Er Lengzi, Zhang Goudan, Sun Sandai, Er Ganzi, Su Dong, Han Bie, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Wang Yan, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin, Wang Zhi, Yao Youzhong, Liu Qi, Li Yanxian, Niu Gao, Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng and dozens of generals, Li Cun also married a daughter in each family, and they are all Li Cun's relatives, and all of them are my Li Cun's in-laws.

In addition, some young talents, because they are busy with their careers, are still unmarried. Li Cun directly married his daughter to them and asked them to call him old man.

The most typical ones are Zhang Xian, Yang Zaixing, this year's new champion Hu Quan, etc., etc., and there are dozens of them.

Just like this, Li Cun still has nearly a hundred daughters who have not been married.

The point is, Li Cun is only 28 now, and he can still live a lot.

This is Li Cun's advantage that no one can compare or even copy.

Some people may ask, many dynasties restricted consorts, and once they were still consorts, they had to leave the center of power. Doesn't Li Cun's doing so mean that he would abolish his martial arts?

indeed.

In many dynasties, the son-in-law could be a relative of the emperor, but once he became a son-in-law, he could not hold the position of real power.

This is mainly to prevent the son-in-law's relatives from dominating the family and threatening the royal rule.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the hero of the generation, and his beloved Princess Gaoyang, finally married the second son of Fang Xuanling, an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, instead of the eldest son.

Ordinarily, it is more important for the beloved daughter to marry the eldest son, but the eldest son will inherit the title of Fang Xuanling in the future. If he has the status of a son-in-law and becomes powerful, he will become a serious problem for Li Shimin's confidant.

So Li Shimin married his daughter to the wretched and abandoned house.

The Zhao and Song dynasties have always followed the principle of mutual containment of officials, so it is even more impossible to let the son-in-law be an official, directly stipulating that the son-in-law has no official position.

The Ming Dynasty did it more thoroughly. After becoming a son-in-law, he was directly not allowed to be an official in the court, and he could just receive his salary at home with peace of mind.

It has to be said that doing so has indeed prevented the situation of foreign relatives interfering in politics.

but--

For Li Cun, there is no possibility of foreign relatives intervening in politics at all.

It is true that there are too many foreign relatives, and I am afraid that it is impossible for them to achieve unity within themselves.

As for relying on the princess to become famous?
The princesses are flooded, let alone you son-in-laws?

Besides, don't say that you are just Li Cun's sons-in-law, Li Cun's hundreds of sons are still in the row, how can it be your turn? !

Therefore, in all the noble families, Li Cun's family married a daughter, everyone cancels the BUFF of the princess bonus, which is basically equivalent to no bonus, at least you want to gain power and status by marrying the princess, it is simply impossible.

Some people may want to ask, isn't Li Cun marrying his daughter for nothing?
How is that possible? If they are flooded again, they are also my Li Cun's daughter. If you marry you, you will be my Li Cun's son-in-law. Your family will be my Li Cun's in-laws. Everyone is a family. If the Zhao and Song Dynasties were destroyed like this, all the families who married Li Cun's daughter would be affected.

Don't forget, there are lessons learned from the Zhao and Song Dynasties here.

Therefore, as long as they marry Li Cun's daughter, even if they are completely tied to Li Cun, they can only hope that the Daqian Dynasty will get better and better, because that means they will get better and better. Follow one piece to suffer.

It is worth mentioning that Li Cun's daughter is really too young, and it is indeed too much to make people wait for seven or eight years.

People like Zhang Xian, Yang Zaixing, and Hu Quan are now almost thirty.

Therefore, Li Cun was very reasonable and said that because his daughter was too young, the person who was selected as the son-in-law could take a concubine first to inherit the incense.

In addition, Li Cun made it clear that his daughter would marry a chicken as the chicken and a dog as the dog, and follow the rules of the family she married into.

For example, Yue Fei was a clean official and his family was very poor. After Li Lichun married, he had to live a poor life with his Yue family.

Later, for the sake of fairness, Li Cun simply asked his daughter to draw lots and marry into the family she caught.

When Li Cun finished this matter, he tied all the civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty, various aristocratic families, and meritorious upstarts to his chariot.

Next, Li Cun began to formulate new rules.

What kind of new rules did Li Cun make?

The new rule made by Li Cun is that there are no rules.

When someone hears it, isn't this talking about the wheel of a car? How can it solve the problem?

wrong.

This is really Li Cun's solution to the problem.

First of all, Li Cun showed everyone that he has the strength and ability to be a dictator. If you can not be dictatorial, you will not be dictatorial.

So what happened to Li Cun?
Li Cun set up a poker table. He set up a table, acted as the referee, and asked everyone to come to the table to play cards. Everyone had a good time. If you have a problem, you can discuss, argue, and compromise. No one is allowed to overturn the table. .

In addition, Li Cun personally wrote down the four characters "seeking truth from facts", and asked people to make these four characters into a stone tablet and stand in front of Xuande Gate, so that all civil and military officials, whether it is when they are in the court or when they are in the court, Everyone can clearly see these four words.

Li Cun's meaning is very clear, that is, we must seek truth from facts in everything.

You can only seek truth from facts, that is, whatever the problem, we will solve it and talk about the truth.

This will solve the problem.

It's not like the politics of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. The later it got, the more it lost its flexibility. It didn't talk about right and wrong at all, only about parties.

For such paranoid people, no matter whether you are a leftist or a rightist, Li Cun will eliminate them all, leaving only those good leftists and good rightists, and those who really want to do practical things.

Some people may want to ask, after all, does Li Cun support the conservatives or the reformists, did the Dagan Dynasty change the law, or did he follow the path of the Zhao and Song Dynasty?

Change must be changed, otherwise, the Zhao Song Dynasty used most of its country and land and all the daughters of the royal family and the daughters of the clan, wouldn't it just teach Li Cun a lesson for nothing?

However, Li Cun will certainly not be like Qin Xiaogong, Song Shenzong and others in history, who said to change the law and found someone to change it, which aroused strong resistance from conservatives.

Li Cun also reformed, but Li Cun learned from the successful experience of my country's reform and opening up in later generations. No matter where he changed, he first found a few places as "experimental fields", and then promoted them after the reforms in these experimental fields were successful.

In this way, even if those conservatives want to object, they can’t object, because I have real successful examples. If you object again, then you are making trouble for no reason. I will dismiss you.

What if the "experimental field" fails?
Doesn't this just mean that this reform is wrong, just abolish it, and the loss is not big anyway.

What was the real problem for reformers?
It seems that reform is to abolish the bad, keep the good, pursue the right, avoid the wrong, and then severely suppress all the opposition.

Just like Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong, the superficial reform is very smooth, but the mutual support relationship of those elements in the original ecology is disintegrating little by little.

The danger accumulates little by little in the process of disintegration.

Just like when you demolish a house, what you treat carefully are the conspicuous pillars, but what finally crushes everything is the roof that you didn't pay attention to at the beginning.

When a person is pursuing his own goals, he takes the good ones and throws away the bad ones. All decisions seem easy.

But what a reformer really needs to do is not to go to the supermarket to buy what he wants, but to switch between the two systems, transforming an effective old system into another effective one. new system.

Li Cun's experiments first and then reforms perfectly transformed an effective old system into another effective new system with better results.

The key point is that everyone has seen that Li Cun could have been a dictator like Julius Caesar, but Li Cun chose to restrain himself from using the power of dictatorship as much as possible. Li Cun just set clear goals for everyone and firmly Everyone's determination, then Li Cun put his figure softly, and then used his superb wisdom and skills to draw a common bottom line for everyone, then established a rule system, and finally used his lofty moral reputation to be a referee for everyone , so that everyone can play their own ideas in the framework established by Li Cun.

This not only allowed everyone to speak out different voices and fight for their own different opinions, but also prevented everyone from fighting to destroy the Daqian Dynasty.

In the past, everyone knew that Li Cun was good at military affairs, he was invincible in all battles, and he had never lost a battle since his debut.

Now, everyone can understand that it is not just the military that dares to love Li Cun. Li Cun's political skills are not inferior to Li Cun's military ability.

After Li Cun's combination of punches came down:

The meritorious upstarts who fought with Li Cun all said that Li Cun, the boss, is willing to take care of his old brothers, get closer to Li Cun, and defend Li Cun's rule more;
The civil official group also boasted that Li Cun did not seek power, and ruled the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, and Li Cun also resolved the dispute between the conservatives and the reformers that the Zhao and Song Dynasties could not resolve for hundreds of years;

Soldiers respected Li Cun even more. Let’s not talk about Li Cun’s invincible military ability and unparalleled prestige in the army. Let’s just say that Li Cun changed the national policy of the Zhao and Song Dynasties that emphasized literature and restrained military affairs, and promoted the status and status of generals to that of literati. The same height, no, to be precise, civil and military divisions do not interfere with each other, and do not belong to each other. There will never be a ridiculous situation like the Zhao and Song Dynasties who sent a literati who did not understand military at all to lead a large group of battle-hardened soldiers. , based on these, Li Cun has already won the support of all soldiers.

In addition, those aristocratic families also chose to accept Li Cun's rule.

Yes.

During the process of Li Cun's rise, he overbearingly robbed them of their belongings, their land, and even their daughters, acting almost like a bandit.

But after Li Cun rose up, Li Cun began to abide by the rules. Although the rules were established by Li Cun himself and Li Cun acted as the referee, Li Cun did abide by them.

Moreover, Li Cun gave them a chance to restore their former glory and glory.

The point is, Li Cun robbed their daughters, but instead made them relatives.

The key point is that Li Cun is still willing to marry his daughter to their aristocratic family, which can be regarded as giving them a step.

More importantly, of course, they have no other choice.

On the other hand, Li Cun's high-tech technologies such as textile machines, sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, reinforced concrete housing, and bicycles have really improved people's livelihood in terms of basic necessities of life.

Take the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn that Li Cun spent a lot of money on for example. Although they have not yet fully demonstrated their strong yields, only the tip of the iceberg they exposed can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. They will definitely solve the problem completely. The problem of lack of food for the people.

In addition, Li Cun even temporarily gave up the opportunity to complete the unification in order to let the people who had been devastated by the war recuperate.

All of these made Li Cun not only prestige among the high-level officials of the Daqian Dynasty, but also among the people.

It is conceivable that after these three years are over, no, maybe in less than three years, Li Cun will be able to solve all the hidden dangers of the Daqian Dynasty.

……

On this day, Li Cun's newly established Ministry of Agriculture reported to Li Cun that if nothing unexpected happens, the harvest of the Dagan Dynasty this year should be able to match the best year of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. The problem of lack of food in the dynasty should be solved.

Li Cun and his ministers were all very excited when they heard the news.

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

If the food problem is resolved, Li Cun's fortunes will basically be considered secure.

General Lu said to Li Cun: "This is a great joyous event. I suggest that your majesty hold a banquet to celebrate, so that the monarch and ministers can have fun together."

Li Cun doesn't like to have music banquets - rather than eating, drinking and having fun with a group of men, Li Cun would rather have fun with a large group of women.

But General Lu is right, this is indeed a great joy, it should be understood.

Therefore, Li Cun accepted General Lu's proposal and ordered his servant to arrange a banquet at Longevity Mountain in Genyue.

The monarchs and ministers gathered together, drinking and admiring the Genyue Longevity Mountain, which was built by Zhao Ji's painstaking efforts and even with the Jiangshan Sheji of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Outside the hall, there are tall bamboos and cypresses, lush forests, and inside the hall, there are intertwined cups of wine and laughter.The utensils used for the imperial banquet are incomparably magnificent and radiant.Fine wine and delicacies, Shaole music and beautiful women, the fragrance is overflowing, just like heaven.The monarch and his ministers gather together happily, and the joy is so harmonious.

During the banquet, someone mentioned Li Qingzhao's "Hongwu Dadian" and praised Li Cun's eclectic talent, saying that Li Qingzhao's "Hongwu Dadian" was edited really well and received a lot of praise.

These ministers may not be telling the truth.

First of all, the relationship between Li Cun and Li Qingzhao is no longer a secret. Even if others are not sure, they can almost guess it.

Secondly, Li Cun handed over to a woman the matter of compiling the "Hongwu Canon", which is destined to be immortalized forever, which made many literati who value reputation more important than their lives feel sour. Li Qingzhao wanted to take away the job of presiding over the compilation of "Hongwu Canon", but Li Cun blocked them all. Li Cun supported Li Qingzhao's revision of Hongwu Canon to the end. Li Cun.

For such flattery, Li Cun receives countless every day.

So of course Li Cun didn't care.

But when Li Qingzhao was mentioned, Li Cun couldn't help but think of this stunner who is not young but still looks like a girl.

"I haven't seen her for a long time, why don't I go and see her later?"

With a strong sense of alcohol, Li Cun did as soon as he thought of it.

So, after the banquet was over, Li Cun brought his entourage outside Li Qingzhao's bedroom in Longde Palace.

Seeing that the room was already pitch black, for some reason, Li Cun had a sudden whim and the desire to steal jade and fragrance...
