Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 340
"Sir, don't you have anything to ask Gu?"

Seeing off Deng Cheng and Wang Haibin, Li Xian was obviously in a very good mood. Seeing Zhang Jianzhi sitting upright on the ground, Li Xian couldn't help but laugh. asked a word.

"Extraordinary people do extraordinary things, even ordinary people, I really dare not speculate."

Zhang Jianzhi knew that Li Xian's words were teasing, but he didn't take it seriously, he just stroked his long beard on his chest, and calmly teased Li Xian in turn.

"Oh? Hahaha..." As soon as Zhang Jianzhi said this, Li Xian couldn't help but burst into laughter. After a long pause, he finally said with great complacency, "Mr. I am afraid that the whole world will be completely useless, oh, although this arrangement alone costs a lot, but if you can get something, it will be a great achievement!"

"Oh? There is indeed something unclear about Zhang, please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Although Zhang Jianzhi was on the sidelines before, he still couldn't figure out what Li Xian's intentions were for such a big deal. He had already had a lot of questions in his mind, but he was calm by nature and didn't rush to ask questions. When it came to the topic, he didn't hesitate any more, his expression froze, and he asked cautiously.

"To tell the truth, Mr. Zhang, the route to Persia is only for one thing, and that is to make a profit. Whether it is fleet freight or enclosure and fortification, it is all for this purpose. I do not deny it, but it is not intentional. Competing with the people for profit has two purposes, one is to guide, as long as a single business can make huge profits, there must be many people who will follow it, the people can get rich with this, and the court can also have more income. It is worth taking this risk alone, not to mention that this move involves the need for political reform, no matter how difficult it is, I have to go!" Li Xian stood up and walked slowly in the study , speaking firmly and confidently.

"Regime change? Please forgive Zhang for being ignorant, and please speak clearly, Your Highness."

Zhang Jianzhi is one of the great Confucianists of the time. Although he does not reject the way of business, he doesn't take it too seriously. Even if such voyages can make huge profits, he doesn't care much. Instead, he is concerned about Li Xian's words of political reform. I thought about it, but I just thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't find it, so I had to ask a question.

"Mr. Zhang, most of our government system follows the former Sui Dynasty. They all take Guanzhong as the standard. If Guanzhong is strong, the court will be strong, and if Guanzhong is weak, then local disasters will inevitably arise. The root cause is the lack of system. There are so many rebels, why? In Yu Gu's view, there are only two ears. One is that the court has little control over the local area, and all states are dominated by governors. Second, the country does not have permanent soldiers. Every time there is a sudden disturbance, military households must be recruited. At the beginning, when we are alone in power, I am afraid that it will be hard to get back. If there is no reserve, it will be difficult to curb the rebellion in various places, and the reserve is nothing more than foreign troops and money. The army can be trained alone, and the political system can be changed. The money needed must be planned early to prepare for emergencies!" Li Xian has always been suspicious of people, and since he has regarded Zhang Jianzhi as a think tank, he will not hide some of his ideas for the future from him. He explained in a smooth manner.

"Your Highness's concern is indeed justified, but how should this regime change be changed?"

Zhang Jianzhi is a generation of great wisdom. He understood the necessity of political reform after only a moment of pondering. However, due to his limited vision, he could not come up with a good solution. The question had to be thrown out.

"So that Mr. Zhang can learn that this matter has been discussed with Mr. Di, and we have some preliminary ideas. Generally speaking, it is to set up a province to unify the states. The power in the province is divided into three departments. Each of the criminal departments has its own special yamen, and then the censor yamen is used for supervision. Several provinces are combined into one governor's office to facilitate the unification of the military and government. The foundation of the reform of the local political system, as for the court, the change is slightly smaller. The political affairs hall should be the overall management of the government, and the government affairs should be governed by six parts. This is a tower structure, and it is the most stable. In addition, the military system is the same There is an urgent need for reform, and now the military system of the government has gradually become corrupted and is no longer useful. It should be replaced by a professional military system. Li Xian already has a clear guiding ideology for the reform of the political system, but when it comes time to do it, it still needs to be implemented by people with extraordinary wisdom. Whether it is Di Renjie or Zhang Jianzhi, Li Xian is the most Li Xian, who can be relied on to preside over the overall situation, will not hide anything from Zhang Jianzhi, so he explained the overall idea of ​​the reform one by one.

"His Royal Highness has a grand plan in his chest, and his thoughts are far-reaching, which is beyond the reach of others. I am amazed by this old man!"

Zhang Jianzhi carefully calculated the ideas of reform mentioned by Li Xian, and immediately realized that once these measures are implemented, the centralization of power will flourish, and the degree of control over the local government will not be comparable to what it is today. No matter how conceited Zhang Jianzhi is, at this point, he has to say "submit".

"Zhang Gongyao won the award. It's just a little bit of thinking. It's too early to say. However, if there is such a day, Zhang Gong will have to worry about these matters."

Li Xian has a very good understanding of Zhang Jianzhi's personality, and he knows that he is talented but arrogant. The reason why he said so much is that he only has one meaning, that is, "the way of taming a horse". Seeing that Zhang Jianzhi was overwhelmed by this huge article, he was overjoyed secretly, so he said a few words of humility with a smile, intending to end the questioning.

"It's really a lucky thing for me to meet Your Highness. Don't you dare to try your best? It's just that I still have a question. I don't know why Your Highness wants to find those seeds?"

Since Zhang Jianzhi joined Li Xian's command, he has always been conscientious and conscientious in his work. However, deep down in his heart, he is quite proud. On the next day, the arrogance in my heart was completely gone, and I didn't dare to underestimate him at all. I bowed respectfully and saluted, expressing my loyalty, and immediately asked the question that had been lingering in my heart.

"Although these four things are all miscellaneous grains, they are very high-yielding and do not require high soil fertility. They can be planted widely. They are suitable for both the north and the south. If they can be generalized, they will benefit the whole country. I dare to say that if I get this Four things, it is not difficult to keep my foundation for thousands of years in the Tang Dynasty!"

With the experience of later generations, Li Xian knows how amazing the output of sweet potatoes and other things is, which can completely solve the shortage of arable land, thereby resolving the possibility of rebellion by the people-in Li Xian's view, the people are the most easily satisfied, As long as there is a way to survive, they will not think about rebellion. The reason why the Qing Dynasty in later generations was able to maintain long-term stability for a long time was not due to the ability of the Manchu emperors, but the popularity of sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains. So that the people can eat and not turn back.With the memory of the third generation in his body, Li Xian has reason to believe that the achievements he can make will definitely not be inferior to the Manchu Tartars.

"If this is the case, it would be a good thing. Your Highness cares about the well-being of the people, and you really understand the king's appearance. It's just an old man who doesn't know how His Highness learned the root of these four things?"

Li Xian's words were impassioned, but Zhang Jianzhi had never seen corn and other things before, so he really didn't dare to believe his words, so he asked suspiciously.

Li Xian was so excited that he completely forgot that the origin of the peanuts and other things was hard to explain. He choked hard when Zhang Jianzhi suddenly asked him this question.

"Ok?"

Seeing Li Xian like this, Zhang Jianzhi's doubts deepened immediately, he let out a soft sigh, and stared at Li Xian suspiciously.

"Mr. Zhang didn't know that in his early years, in order to organize a business company, he did have a lot of dealings with merchants from various countries who came to the Tang Dynasty. There was a large merchant from the West, named Columbus. After several months of hard work, I finally escaped from danger, only to find that I have arrived at a strange continent. Seeing the beautiful scenery of this place, I named it America. , As for the peanuts and other things, I also know from his mouth, hehe, this person's luck is indeed good, but he has no eyesight to see gold and jade, so he let go of such a huge business opportunity, but he is cheap." Li Xianduo A shrewd person, how can he be turned away by this question, just roll his eyes, and he has already pulled out an article from the boss, which sounds quite similar.

"Well, that's how it is. If peanuts and other things are really so miraculous, they will be a good recipe for a strong country. This old man is also looking forward to it."

Although Li Xian's reaction was quick, there were many loopholes in this explanation. Zhang Jianzhi naturally didn't believe it at all, but seeing that Li Xian refused to tell the truth, Zhang Jianzhi couldn't stop asking him endlessly. He could only smile and stroke the long beard on his chest, and answered casually, which meant that the matter had been uncovered.

Khan, this Comrade Zhang is really too shrewd, it's not easy to be fooled!Seeing Zhang Jianzhi's appearance, Li Xian knew that his nonsense had not been able to fool him at all, and he couldn't help feeling resentful for a while, but he had no choice but to laugh dryly. Twice, and changed the topic: "Mr. Zhang, now that the situation has been decided, the next step should be ready to start?"

"As His Highness wishes, I can arrange it."

Hearing this, Zhang Jianzhi didn't dare to take it lightly, frowned and thought for a while, then stood up, respectfully agreed, and went to busy with the deployment of related matters without mentioning it.

It's so dangerous, I almost slipped my mouth, I'll fuck it, no one under my command can do it, but it's a trouble if I'm too capable!Looking at the back of Zhang Jianzhi's departure, Li Xian couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, and shook his head with a wry smile. Only then did he realize that he was so tired and drowsy that he didn't bother to go back to his room, so he simply lay back on the rocking chair , squinting his eyes, he has already sunk into dreamland.
