The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 504 Too high, take the elixir!
Li Yunze abandoned those wealth-earning masters that Li Sanlang had reused during his reign.

In addition to being good at making money for Li Sanlang, these people are even better at making money for themselves.

During Li Sanlang's reign, the power eunuchs used to check and balance the court were basically wiped out.

Li Yunze is very aware of the calamity of power eunuchs, so he will never give the eunuchs a chance to stand out.

During Li Sanlang's reign, the Liyuan children who spent countless offerings for fun were all dismissed to make a living by themselves.

It costs too much to support these people, and those who are not engaged in production need the taxes of at least five households to support them.With these taxes, Li Yunze would rather support the soldiers of the Tang army.

When Li Sanlang was in power, there were tens of thousands of beauties in the harem, and most of them were married off by Li Yunze.

It costs more to support these girls. After all, beauties must eat well, wear well, and use well in order to maintain their beauty and satisfy Li Sanlang.

For Li Yunze, the most important thing he lacks is beautiful girls.

No matter how beautiful she is, can she be as beautiful as Yang Yuhuan?Can Jiang Caiping be as beautiful?

During the reign of Li Sanlang.
One by one, many things that Li Sanlang promoted were mostly rearranged by Li Yunze.

And the huge expenditure saved by this is enough to supply a large army.

Among other things, the daily expenses of the tens of thousands of maids, food, drink, and rewards are already close to the expenses of the entire four towns of Anxi.

Moreover, marrying them off will not only alleviate the fierce conflict of not being able to marry a wife, but also avoid the tragedy of the white-haired court lady.

Many beautiful court ladies have never been seen by the emperor even after staying in the palace all their lives.

In the dead of night, I can't do anything except contact judo crafts.

That's what it means to be violent.

After a little statistics, the huge expenses and waste formed around Li Sanlang alone are close to one-third of the Tang Dynasty's finances!

Li Sanlang alone used up one-third of Datang's finances.

In the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, how many ministers worked tirelessly, and some of the wealth they had finally accumulated was squandered by the extravagant Li Sanlang.

It's not that Tang Dynasty didn't have money and materials, it's just that these things were taken away by the emperor and those powerful and noble families, and ordinary people couldn't even share their food.

Thinking of these, Li Yunze felt out of breath.

From time to time, she took Concubine Mei to find Li Sanlang, whose beard was gradually falling off, and danced together in front of him.

But Li Sanlang went from anger to numbness, to indifference in his eyes like water.

The number of times is too many, but Li Yunze himself finds it boring.

If he had known that he would not undergo physical resection, after the operation, Li Sanlang didn't care anymore.

After that, he simply asked Bian Lingcheng, who was in charge of Li Sanlang, to find something for the Supreme Emperor.

It’s like going to winter swimming for fitness in the twelfth lunar month, and practicing long-distance running in the scorching sun when the heat is unbearable. I am grateful for the fact that the people’s life is not easy to cut down on food and clothing, and only provide the emperor with two meals a day.

But Li Sanlang's physical fitness is really good, after tossing and tossing, he just managed to survive.

Winter goes to spring, and it is the time of the new year.

After ascension to the throne, Minister of Rites He Zhizhang offered several reign names for Li Yunze to choose, and he directly chose Tianbao as the new reign name without hesitation.

Up to now, it is already the spring of the third year of Tianbao.

After several years of hard work, Datang, whose internal conflicts were already extremely fierce, finally showed signs of gradually easing up.

The main reason is that Li Yunze used the loyal king's rebellion case to put all the big landlords into the rebellion basket, and ransacked their homes in the name of the loyal king's remnants.

Li Yunze didn't care about the property of these aristocratic nobles, he only wanted the fields.

The land was confiscated, and then redistributed to the local people, and their taxes and corvee were reduced, so as to resolve the grievances of the people little by little.

Datang has such a large land area and only tens of millions of people.

By the standards of the modern world, there should be enough fields allocated to everyone.

The problem is that fields are not the same as ordinary land.

Fields need to be reclaimed and plowed, and it takes a huge price to gradually transform from wild land to acres.

In the era of agriculture where everything depends on hands, it is extremely difficult to open up wasteland.

Therefore, the cultivated acres have become the most important means of production.

It doesn't mean that you can grow food by sharing a piece of land. This era does not have strong mechanical capabilities and chemical production capacity.

After doing this several times, the honorable families are not fools, so they naturally understood what Li Yunze meant.

Not surprisingly, rebellions instigated everywhere came as expected.

What Li Yunze is most afraid of is fighting, and the last thing he wants to see is getting the common people involved.

For the rebels, directly drive the army over.

Up and down, inside and out, front and back.Starting from the 80-year-old patriarch of the family, all the way to deal with it can be said that the yolk has been shaken, and he is absolutely not given the slightest chance to stand up.

Not to mention being a poor family after the family breaks down, even staying in Datang is an extravagant hope.

But for those cowardly people, they have to be strictly investigated one by one, unless they have committed unforgivable crimes, such as those with blood on their hands, the rest are arranged to monitor and work in various fields, honestly Waiting to plant a field for a few years, this matter is over.

Moreover, the income from farming, in addition to taxes, still belongs to the people themselves.

Seeing the different treatment, the courtiers all had different expressions.

In Li Linfu's words, "the Emperor Taishang is arrogant, extravagant, and extravagant. Today, the Emperor is thrifty and strives to govern. The Emperor Taishang treats the nobles generously and ignores the people. But today the Emperor treats the nobles like enemies and treats the people like their own children. Which is right? No, I have my own history to judge."

The words were nice to hear, but Li Yunze knew very well what kind of bastards those literati and poets were.

So the large group of famous officials under him, everyone has a job.

If you write a good poem, you should write a hymn.

Those who write beautifully must write long stories, praising how Jinshang loves the people like a son.

If the paintings are good-looking, one must paint one after another, and record the scenes of the emperor loving the people like a son and pass them on to the world.

Those who can speak well will entertain friends all day long, brag about Li Yunze desperately, and then let friends spread the word.

Even the disciples of the Liyuan who were driven out of the Liyuan City and spent their days in the East and West Second City urgently arranged a performance in which the emperor loves the people like a son.

It's not that the Liyuan children accepted the recharge, but the people of Chang'an City who have received real benefits like to watch these.

After making a living by themselves, performing jokes that their parents love to see and hear has become their only way out.

Considering Datang's strength at this time, the nobles of the clan can't make any waves.

The only ones that can really pose a threat are those border towns.

Among them, the towns in Hebei are the most critical.

Speaking of this, it must be related to the period when Emperor Sui Yang made three expeditions to Goguryeo more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, Yang Guang, in order to weaken the strength of the Shandong Group, sent them to die again and again, causing almost every family in Hebei to wear mourning.

When the Great Tang was established, the Great Tang, based on the military aristocracy of Longyou, fought back and forth with Dou Jiande and others in Hebei, and the results were extremely tragic.

The real root lies in the fact that whether it was the Sui Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, their foundation was the military aristocratic group in Longyou.

And the land of Shandong and Hebei is the territory of Gao Clan and Northern Qi Dynasty.

Although the Northern Qi Dynasty was annexed, these noble clans are still there, and the confrontation and conflict between the two sides has really lasted until now.

When Li Sanlang came here, he appointed traitors to plunder and oppress frantically here, and the homes of many frontier soldiers were ruined by the scourge. Under the old and new hatred, the Anshi Rebellion was actually inevitable.

Li Yunze's countermeasure was not to please people without brains, but to grab the remnants of the Shandong Group and put them in the basket of the loyal king's rebellion to clean them up.

The fields of these families were then allocated to the families of the frontier soldiers to appease the anger of the frontier soldiers.

However, in order to truly solve the hidden dangers of the Hebei feudal town, heavy medicines are still needed, so Li Yunze decided to go there himself.

It is impossible to go now, because he has not achieved any decent military results, and his deterrence is not enough.

Looking around Datang, only Tubo is a worthy target.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had not personally conquered Tubo for many years. When Li Yunze released the news of his intention to personally conquer Tubo, there was naturally a lot of opposition in the court.

Everyone's reasons are similar. The general meaning is that you, the emperor, have no heirs and heirs. If something unexpected happens, the Tang Dynasty will fall into chaos.

Among the ministers, only Li Linfu had a different opinion from others.

These days, Li Linfu, who jumped overboard, has been low-key and serious in his work, without the slightest sign of a treacherous minister.

Even Zhang Jiuling, who had been run over and demoted by him before, thought he was a capable minister.

Li Linfu is indeed a capable minister, and when he plays the right one alone in the imperial study, he knows what is the key point.

"Your Majesty wants to gain military merit, and it is a good thing to subdue the army's morale, and it should be possible."

Li Linfu first affirmed Li Yunze's actions, and then pointed out the key point, "If Your Majesty wants to conscript himself, there is only one thing to worry about."

With a calm expression, Li Yunze asked back, "What's the matter?"

"The Supreme Emperor."

Li Linfu stated very directly, "If someone takes advantage of His Majesty's battle outside and catches the Supreme Emperor with a wave of arms, it will inevitably cause chaos. It is impossible to say that His Majesty is fighting on the front line, and the Supreme Emperor will be restored later. If His Majesty wants to personally conquer, this matter must be resolved in advance."

With playful eyes, Li Yunze asked with a chuckle, "How to solve it?"

’ It’s questionable, of course, it’s not that the Supreme Emperor was killed, of course, it was the Supreme Emperor’s sudden death. '

Li Linfu, who knew that he had jumped ship and was not trusted, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Supreme Emperor Dragon is not feeling well, so I should take the elixir!"

Li Yunze's smile became more cordial, he nodded and picked up the paperwork at hand, "Then I will leave this matter to Li Xiang."

When he walked out of the imperial study, Li Linfu sighed silently.

It is such helplessness to work under the capable, hardworking and scheming emperor.

To be a powerful minister?It's almost a dream!

I also blamed myself for being blind at the beginning, and actually abandoned the prince and went to the Supreme Emperor.

If he stood firmly on the prince's side, relying on his qualifications as the emperor's teacher, it would be like walking on eggshells all day long.

The only medicine you can't get in the world is the medicine of regret.

Li Linfu, who regretted standing on the wrong team because he was too smart, now the only choice is to get things done.

Naturally, the emperor would not be contaminated by such karma, and he, Li Linfu, was also unwilling to leave a notoriety of regicide in the history books.

You have to find a fool to do this kind of thing.

Without any hesitation, Bian Lingcheng's thick eyebrows and big eyes flashed in Li Linfu's mind.

"You are the one!"
