Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 279 Li Shimin's Wisdom
However, to Sun Xiangfu's surprise, after the civil servants headed by Changsun Wuji and the military generals headed by Yu Chigong took the lead in standing up, all the officials of the major families also stood up and responded to his proposal. Support for the integration policy, which makes people have to think about it.

For Sun Xiangfu, this phenomenon is both a good thing and a bad thing.

On the good side, after the court reached a consensus this time, no one would oppose the cultural integration policy he advocated for a period of time. Of course, Sun Xiang now understands another meaning of those aristocratic families jumping out to support him. The reason is that they want profit.

The new crops from Sun Xiangfu can create huge benefits, and once a secret is known by three or four people from different forces, it will no longer be a secret. The economic value of the oak tree is a good thing that is much higher than the spices. If the officials of the family line dare to oppose Sun Xiangfu, this interest is doomed to miss them.

The bad aspect is that if all civil and military officials jump out to support a person's proposal, this person will definitely be tabooed by the emperor. Even Li Shimin himself agrees with Sun Xiangfu's approach, but as a courtier, you can't take the limelight. When everything is exhausted, where does this leave the emperor?Not to mention that everyone can't bring everyone together to appeal to the emperor. In a sense, this situation is more like forcing the palace, and the emperor Li Shimin is a bit like being forced to make a decision.

How else could someone like Sun Xiangfu know how to play politics?It can be said that no one in the court would play this way with Sun Xiangfu's hand of cards. All the cards to be played and the things created were all previewed and discussed in advance, and they would not be like him. When he got up, he just said what he thought. It was such a small loophole that was seized by the aristocratic family. They suddenly came out to support Sun Xiangfu, that is, for their own benefit. The relationship between the emperor and him.

In a feudal society, all favors should come from the superior, and all blame should be borne by the courtiers. Even Wei Zheng, who often jumped out to choke the emperor, understood this better than Sun Xiangfu.

Therefore, after Cui Shixun, Sun Xiangfu was also sweating, and secretly swore in his heart that he would not be able to think of anything to say in the court in the future. His brain, quarreling, and choking people may be okay, if he really wants to do something , It is not as thoughtful as those groups that integrate the wisdom of all people, maybe at that moment, you will jump into a pit designed by others without knowing it.

Fortunately, Li Shimin is a wise man. He knows Sun Xiangfu's shortcomings, and even likes his shortcomings. The belt is broken.Even in today's situation, Li Shimin was not angry, but felt that Sun Xiangfu had little scheming and was simple.

People are often like this. When Li Shimin didn't have a good sense of Sun Xiangfu, Li Shimin could find a bunch of derogatory words to describe him for whatever good he did. Now, through various examples, Sun Xiangfu has changed Li Shimin's view of himself. Then, no matter what bad things Sun Xiangfu did, Li Shimin could find a set of compliments to describe him.

"Sun Zhengming's words are justified. My lifelong wish is to dominate the world. However, how can I conquer the world? In fact, we can learn from history to know the ups and downs.

In the past, could the Han Dynasty be so strong that it could conquer the world?Deserved, also should not.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did conquer the barbarians from all over the world, but it was only a waste of national power and gained temporary prosperity. Given his good conditions at the time, he could completely accommodate some barbarians into the Han people through cultural, educational and institutional reforms, so that It will never be rebellious, so that there will be no tragedies that happened indiscriminately in our Central Plains later.

And my Tang Dynasty has only been established for more than ten years. The population and national power reserve are several times weaker than the Han Dynasty after the Wenjing rule. Datang does not have that foundation.

Therefore, I can only find another way and walk a new path.

This road is what Sun Zhengming said about integration. Integrating the population of the Siyi into my Datang, my Datang will have a population. Merge the land of the Siyi into my Datang, the territory of my Datang, It is vast.In my opinion, conquests and massacres can only be powerful for a while, but they can be integrated into one body, but they can be peaceful forever.

Therefore, I have decided to make the policy of integration and assimilation of the Hus as the main strategy of the court's administration. From now on, I will reward those who have contributed to promoting our Han culture and promoting the integration policy, regardless of high or low.

For scholars, peasants, workers, merchants, and even native and foreign slaves without household registration, they also need to be redefined, using "citizens" as a collective term, and setting up a hierarchy. As for the specific classification, we will discuss it later.

As for the affairs of Xue Yantuo's department looking forward to becoming a courtier in the Tang Dynasty, it was all presided over by Sun Zhengming, the governor of Anbei, and assisted by the Ministry of Rites. "

It is rare for everyone to have a chance to unify their thoughts. Li Shimin naturally wants to fortify his own private goods. He has long intended to change Datang's household registration policy. He has said so much, but it can't hide his desire to reuse the talents of all classes. A scholar, to lift the family's control over the court.

But if you want to use talented people from other classes as officials, you must first break those stereotypes. For example, businessmen are a group with a high literacy rate, and farmers and workers have more professional talents. All these people have the right to be officials, so the number must be huge. In this way, it will be very difficult for the aristocratic family to monopolize the power of the court through the scholars they cultivated.

Now, Tuli and Jieli have been defeated by Datang one after another, Huihe, Xue Yantuo surrendered, and Datang's mighty victory is unrivaled in the world. It is the time for Li Shimin to make drastic reforms, and of course he will not be lenient.

After the emperor finished his concluding speech, today's court meeting was over. However, Sun Xiangfu's affairs were not over yet. Li Shimin left him and several ministers who were qualified to discuss affairs to discuss matters in the imperial study.

It is not easy to get a seat in the emperor's study, and it is even more difficult to get a meal with the emperor. It is a great honor for the minister to eat at the same table with the emperor.

Today, Sun Xiangfu got together for a meal, and there were several people who ate together, including Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Wang Gui, Gao Shilian, and Cen Wenwen, plus the room left for Li Shimin. The main seat, this large round table with a full two square meters, was filled.

Although Sun Xiangfu has a high official position, he is the youngest and has a lower title. He sits at the end with Secretary Cen Wenwen.

Before Li Shimin came, Sun Xiangfu first chatted with the elders on the table, mainly talking about the meaning of the word "citizen". The routine Sun Xiangfu thought of was very simple. First of all, the rights and interests given to ordinary citizens will not be too high. As the national power of the Tang Dynasty increases, the soft and hard power will gradually increase, and the rights of citizens will gradually increase. At that time, even if there are any problems, the emperor will be able to control them freely.

As for the initial classification of citizens, they are divided into three classes. The first-class citizens are the royal family, nobles, and officials.

The second-class citizens are those who have non-slave or humble status in the Tang Dynasty, including the so-called scholars, farmers, industrial households, merchants, etc. who have studied in the past but have not been officials.

Third-class citizens are all citizens who are not in the first two categories. Among them, some singing and dancing artists, as long as they are not offenders or criminals, and those who are originally lowly, will be promoted to second-class citizens. Sun Xiangfu used One set, occupations may be high or low, but people should not be high or low. You must know that in the pre-Qin period, scholars who were not engaged in production also experienced a life of low social status.

From now on, only criminals, foreign slaves, and prisoners of war will truly belong to the category of third-class citizens.

Once the concept put forward by Sun Xiangfu is established, the entire social structure will be changed. Except for the first-class citizen class, the status of most other classes is the same. Only the occupation is different, and there is no difference in personality. In this way, it will be Eliminate a lot of discrimination, if you want privileges, you can!You go to be an official!Serving officials are first-class citizens and do enjoy privileges.

In doing so, what is deprived of the rights of the official class who have studied but have not become an official, and what is promoted is the social status of everyone except the original official class.

As soon as Sun Xiangfu's idea was put forward, it won the approval of several people at the dinner table. Those who are not officials and contribute to the court really shouldn't enjoy privileges. If you read the book, others should let you?Should the law favor you?There is no such reason.

Those who enjoy privileges should be those who have made contributions to this country and this society, just like rewards are only given to those who have merit.

Changsun Wuji was the first to express his approval of Sun Xiangfu's idea. He believed that such a setting would encourage more officials to become officials, because no one wants to lose their privileges.

Later, Xiao Yu put forward some supplements, such as what kind of system is needed for the management of citizen rank promotion, for example, how to distinguish taxes and so on.

However, Wang Gui, one of the core members of the world's top aristocratic family, has reservations. He knows that the current Tang Dynasty controlled by Li Shimin is indeed difficult to shake, but if too many people's rights are involved, then this matter will not matter. It's very easy to implement. Although this so-called 'citizen' system will not shake the status of serving officials, there are more officials in his royal family who have not become officials than those who have.

Wang Rui, the patriarch of the Wang clan in Taiyuan, is also an official who has not been an official. If you let him be like a commoner and not enjoy any privileges, it may be difficult to do.

Half an hour later, Li Shimin came to the Imperial Study Room, took the place everyone had reserved for him, and said, "I saw that the talk of the various ministers started, so I listened outside the door for a while, and I learned a lot. Generally speaking, It is a problem of power distribution that is difficult to solve.

However, you have forgotten the original intention of our citizenship system. "

When Li Shimin said this, everyone immediately understood that the original intention of the citizenship system was created by Sun Xiangfu to fool barbarians and foreigners who might submit to him in the future!The position that is difficult to solve can be shelved first!As far as there is no problem, try to solve it as much as possible.

For the imperial court, it is really difficult to lower the rights of some people, so it is very simple to raise the rights of some people!First raise the social status of some people who are originally lowly, or else it will be fine.

What is political wisdom? Li Shimin's way of dealing with things is called political wisdom. He will always put himself on the side of getting help and not letting too many people oppose him. As long as the last bit of stubbornness is eliminated with a butcher knife, he will be able to achieve comprehensive The success of this is just like the Xuanwumen change, only kill those who must be killed, be tolerant to most people, stabilize the situation first, and slowly, use various means to break down and solve the problems one by one.

However, it was precisely because Sun Xiangfu knew that he had such wisdom that he dug such a big hole. Once the citizenship system was established, the changes to Datang would be earth-shaking. What power did the officials of Datang have?First of all, traveling across states and counties does not require the approval of the government, and you can travel freely. This alone makes it possible for Sun Xiangfu to realize the wave of going north to work in Datang, not to mention other policies in terms of laws and taxes. up.

A modern person has many innate advantages in using his brain in ancient times. Li Shimin has Li Shimin's wisdom, and Sun Xiangfu also has his own wisdom. He can roughly guess what Li Shimin is thinking, but Li Shimin, and those aristocratic families Think tanks, but they can't guess what Sun Xiangfu is thinking. If the ancients had such a wild imagination, this country would have become developed thousands of years ago.
