Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 342 Li Shimin Longyan Joy

Li Zhi and Wang Pingan went to Li Shimin's Longshu case together and saluted Li Shimin.Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Sit down." His expression was full of exhaustion, and he seemed unwilling to say a word.

Wang Pingan looked at Li Shimin, and saw that the emperor's hair was already gray, his temples were stained with frost, his forehead was full of wrinkles, and he looked old.

To say that Li Shimin is not very old, it can be said that he is in the prime of life for a politician, and it is the best golden age for someone else, but as the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor is so old!

It is said that it is good to be an emperor, but in fact, it is not necessarily true!

Li Shimin looked at Wang Ping'an, and said, "You are not sick, how are you doing recently, and accompanying Zhi'er to review the memorials, what can you learn about governing the country?"

It's not easy to answer this question. If you answer shallowly, it means that you are useless and have failed the trust of the emperor and prince. His head has never been soft!
Wang Ping'an bowed slightly, instead of answering directly, he changed the subject and said: "When I was not in the court, I often envied the majesty of the high officials, and often thought of a picture where the ministers surrounded the emperor. , facing a huge map, pointing to the country. I just thought that if one day, I can stand beside the emperor, how wonderful it would be!"

Li Shimin smiled, and Li Zhi turned around and smiled at him, thinking in his heart: "He is quite honest, and he doesn't hide it at all when he says he wants to be an official!"

Shi Zhongchen also looked at him, thinking: "Sooner or later, you will stand in front of the ministers, don't worry!"

Wang Ping'an said again: "You can enter the Chongxian Pavilion and stay with the prince, so I know it. People say that the sky is good, and the gods are happy, but behind the scenery, there are so many sweats and tears!"

After he finished speaking, the hall became quiet, and everyone thought of something in their hearts.

Li Shimin thought: "How much sweat? It's just like sweating, that's all. In order to be able to sit on this dragon chair, how many dangers I encountered and how many tears I shed behind my back, I can't let others know..."

Li Zhi thought to himself: "When I first became the crown prince, I was reprimanded by my father and secretly ridiculed by the ministers. I sweated and cried a lot. I really shed a lot!"

Shi Zhongchen thought: "I think back then, when I first entered the palace, a fat old eunuch starved me for two days, didn't allow me to eat or drink, said it was for my own good, and then tied me up in the palace. On the case, I held a sharp knife in my hand... how much sweat and tears I have shed!"

Wang Pingan saw that the topic was successfully changed, and the emperor didn't ask him about his experience in approving memorials with the crown prince, he was slightly relieved, and said: "Your Majesty, you worry about the world's major affairs all day long, you should take care of your health, you can eat medicinal food or something! "

Li Shimin said ah, came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to touch his temples, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you are not sick, you can prescribe a few more medicinal recipes, and let the kitchen make it for me!"

Wang Pingan hurriedly agreed to prescribe medicinal food, which is one of his best skills.

Li Zhidao: "Father, there are so many major events in the world. You have to deal with them all by yourself. Isn't it too tiring? When I grow up, I can share my worries for my father." This method can increase the court’s income by a large amount every year.”

Li Shimin said: "Really, this is what you wrote in this memorial, right? But it is a bit much to increase the income of one hundred thousand guan a year. How many acres of land will be added!"

While talking, he opened the memorial and began to read it.

Li Zhi whispered: "One hundred thousand per year is the minimum limit, there may be more!"

Li Shimin sighed, and said: "Can there be more... No disease, you want to compete with Long Aotian in medical skills? He is the disciple of the old god Sun Zhenzhen, I'm afraid you are not his opponent, but I don't want you to lose, What are you good at, I will decide when the time comes, and pick what you are good at..."

He saw the cause of this incident and said it casually.

Wang Ping'an felt warm in his heart, the emperor could treat a courtier like this, it is considered as benevolent, and he actually wanted to help me cheat, who would do it if it was someone else?
"After losing, I have to change my name and take off my clothes and run around Chang'an... This, this is too nonsense, it's really childish..." Li Shimin looked at the memorial, couldn't help smiling, shook his head slowly, and felt Wang Ping'an and Long Aotian are like two children who haven't grown up.

Looking further down, Li Shimin let out a groan, and said, "Ah Games? It's a strange name..." The more he looked back, the more surprised he was. He saw something that he had never thought of, which could help the court increase Income, and it does not harm the people, but allows the people and businesses to benefit together!

The rule of feudal dynasties was all based on agricultural taxation, and the Tang Dynasty was no exception. The rulers seldom had the idea of ​​making money from commerce, even in the Southern Song Dynasty, where commerce was the most developed. Allowed, the support is not strong, basically all belong to the people spontaneously!
But the method proposed by Wang Pingan is good. It is not based on improving the status of merchants. For the feudal rulers, although they are doing the same thing, it is easier for them to accept it in another way.Otherwise, if any minister wants to develop commerce and shake the foundation of agriculture, it will not work if anyone proposes it, and the resistance will be overwhelming. , that is absolutely without stopping!

Why reforms are always unsuccessful, isn't it because it hurts the interests of some conservatives, and the benefits determine everything!
The method proposed by Wang Pingan will not cause people to resist. The method is based on a bet, and it is to find a way to renege on the debt. It did not harm the interests of the big landlords. On the contrary, if the income of the country increases and the purpose is to let the people recuperate, it is possible to reduce or exempt some agricultural taxes. In this way, the big landlords will become vested interests, and they will naturally not object!

And the imperial court did not increase the tax rate for merchants. If you are willing to pay, you can pay it, and if you don’t want to pay it, you can withdraw it. If you don’t want to, some people are willing.In order to do big business and earn more money, businessmen voluntarily buy advertisements, and they will not object, and they have no reason to object!
The interests of all classes have not been harmed, and they can all benefit. Unite all people who can be united. In this way, everything will be easy to handle!

Li Shimin saw half of the smiles on his face, and he began to feel full of energy. He thought to himself: "This is a good idea. It doesn't cost anything, and the company and the people from Fanbang can grab the money." Sending money to the imperial court is the best thing in the world, and this is the most important thing!"

Seeing his father's smile, Li Zhi knew that this matter was going to happen, so he turned his head and smiled at Wang Pingan, who also smiled back.The two of them had an idea in their minds that this matter was not unsuccessful. The new method of making money could greatly increase the income of the court, and if it was done well, the income would increase in the future. Who would be unhappy?Everyone is happy to see it!

After reading the memorial, Li Shimin raised his head and said: "This method is good. If this method can be used to increase the income of the court, no one can say otherwise! Zhi'er, you came up with this method?"

Li Zhi nodded immediately, and said: "Yes, it was the minister who came up with it." This sentence was said with confidence, the whole matter was indeed related to him, it can be said that without his instigation, this idea would not have arisen.

Who brought people to inspect Wuyou Hall?He is Li Zhi!When Long Aotian challenged Wang Pingan, Wang Pingan didn't want to fight. Who instigated Wang Pingan to agree?He is Li Zhi!Who was afraid that Wang Ping'an would be ashamed if he lost, and worried about Wang Ping'an, which caused Wang Ping'an to start thinking of ways to renege on his debt?He is Li Zhi!Who copied... who personally wrote this memorial and sent it to the royal father's case?It's still Li Zhi!

Without him, Li Zhi, there would be no birth of the Aoao Games. He has made great contributions, and no one can deny this!

Li Shimin saw that he didn't seem to be fake, it seemed that he really came up with it, but he still looked at Wang Ping'an and said, "No illness, you didn't come up with any ideas?"

Wang Pingan hurriedly said: "I am not trying to flatter His Highness the Crown Prince. This idea was indeed conceived by Your Highness. Your Highness was afraid that I would make a fool of myself, so I discussed it with my minister during the meal. As a result, while talking, I came up with this idea, and it was definitely not the idea of ​​the minister!"

Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief, he was not afraid that his courtiers were too strong, he had plenty of strong courtiers under his command, but he was afraid that his son would be too weak to hold down too strong courtiers.Between monarchs and ministers, discuss matters, not based on one person's opinion, but to inspire each other and improve together. This is the best way for monarchs and ministers to get along with each other.
Judging by Li Zhi's expression and what Wang Ping'an said, it is estimated that they inspired each other and came up with this method!
Li Shimin is satisfied. It is indeed good that the court can increase his income, but it is even better if his son's ability has improved. As a father, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing his son have a great future in his lifetime. He is happy!
Slowly closing the memorial, Li Shimin said in a loud voice: "Decree, officials above the third rank, and officials above the fourth rank of the household department, immediately enter the palace to discuss matters without delay!"

Shi Zhongchen immediately agreed, and trotted out of the hall. He didn't see what was written on the memorial, but judging from the expressions of the three people inside, there must be a big happy event. With a smile on his face, he happily went out to pass the decree !
Li Shimin knocked on the table with his fingers, and said: "Oh Games, this name is a bit ugly, and it's a bit of a joke. If it can be held for a long time in the future, as you said, there are many projects, and not all of them may be satisfied." Let's yell first."

Li Zhidao: "I think this name..." He first glanced at Wang Ping'an from the corner of his eye, saw Wang Ping'an shook his head, and then said: "It's really not very nice, please give me a new name, Father!"
