Wentang

Chapter 626

The idea of ​​using the mature land to support the newly developed land to reduce the burden on the court has won the approval of most people.

Yue Shan also thought this method was good, but he didn't voice his support because Li Shimin's attitude was problematic - he didn't show any sign of emotion.

Does he simply disagree with this method, or is there something wrong with this method itself?Yue Shan couldn't figure it out, and he was unwilling to express his opinion easily.

Just as he was deep in thought, Fang Xuanling stood up first: "I basically agree with Chen Xiang's method, which is old-fashioned and prudent, but there is one flaw."

"Oh? Ask Fang Xiang for advice." Chen Shuda said.

"After the split of Lingnan, the old land and the new land belonged to two jurisdictions of the same level but not under the jurisdiction of each other. Since this is the case, there is no reason for the old land to support the new land with the money and grain it earned." Fang Xuanling explained.

"That's the court's tax, not their money." Chen Shuda interrupted.

"It's a tax from the imperial court, but people in the old land don't think so. The money and food are directly transported from the old land to the new land under the noses of all the people in the old land. They only think that the imperial court is using their hard-earned money to support the people in the new land. "Fang Xuanling shook his head and said:

"Once or twice may not be a problem. If the number of times is too many, they will inevitably have pimples in their hearts. At that time, a bad one will cause conflicts between the old and the new."

Hearing this, everyone understood what Fang Xuanling meant. Yes, we are two independent units. Why should I use my blood and sweat to support people in other places?

It’s okay if my family is a billionaire, but the problem is that I barely have enough food and clothing. Every grain of food is squeezed out from between my teeth, so there will definitely be complaints in my heart.

At that time, being incited by others may cause something to repeatedly ruin the good situation.

Fang Xuanling paused for a moment, and waited for everyone to understand what he meant before continuing: "Take advantage of people's short hands to eat people's soft mouths. Xindi has always accepted assistance from the old place. When seeing people from the old place, it is inevitable that you will be humbled and unable to hold your head up."

"At that time, the yamen in Xindi will probably be controlled by the yamen in the old place...What is the purpose of us dismantling Lingnan Road? If we allow this to happen, then why bother."

At this time, Yue Shan fully understood what Fang Xuanling meant, and also understood why Li Shimin didn't agree with Chen Shuda's point of view.

Two words: jurisprudence.

Everyone is at the same level. Why should I use the money I earn to support you?Although this money belongs to the imperial court's taxes, it doesn't work, I just don't like it.

Even if it is done under the compulsory order of the imperial court, it will cause conflicts between the two places.

In the previous life, the country engaged in counterpart assistance, and developed provinces provided counterpart assistance to poor areas. On the surface, everything was harmonious, but in fact there were many troublesome things.

It is inevitable for the supporters to feel superior to others, but the supporters actually feel uncomfortable, and they understand it all.

In order to prevent conflicts between the residents of the two places, the state will basically not promote the matter of counterpart assistance, and everything is done quietly in private.

Even so, many contradictions appeared in the news.

This is still the case in the 21st world, and engaging in counterpart support in the Tang Dynasty is simply courting death.

Another problem is the relationship of affiliation, the rich is the uncle.Although the old and new lands are of the same level, the person who paid the money must have a higher status.

The reason why the imperial court split up Lingnan was because the territory is too vast and easy to cultivate warlords. Now that the new land needs to be supported by the old land, the meaning of splitting up is not great.

For the same thing, if the country first collects the money into the treasury and then allocates it to the places where it is needed, everyone has no opinion.

It seems like taking off your pants and farting is a waste of manpower and material resources, but it can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Although it is the same sum of money, the meaning of taking it from the court is completely different from taking it from a unit of the same level.

So the jurisprudence is really important.

After figuring this out, Yue Shan had to express his admiration for Fang Xuanling, thinking that everything was comprehensive.And Li Shimin, he probably also thought of this issue, so he didn't express his attitude.

Compared with them, I still have something to learn.

The split plan of Lingnan was quickly approved, and the entire Lingnan Road was split into Lingnan East Road and Lingnan West Road with Guangxin City as the boundary.

The east road is the area that has completed the preliminary development, and the west road is the newly occupied area to be developed.

After that, they discussed the next development plan, such as the allocation of money and food, such as support for various industries, such as the migration of [-] poor households from the Central Plains to Lingnan within a year, and so on.

The last thing to discuss was the arrangement of Lingnan officials.

"Governor Yuwen and Governor Ning have done a lot of hard work, and they will enter Beijing to receive awards." Wei Zheng stood up and said.

"It should be so, and the term of office of the two of them in Lingnan has expired. Last year's assessments were both top-notch, so they should be promoted." Gao Shilian immediately answered.

"As it should be."

"Don't let loyal ministers and good generals feel cold."

Others also expressed their opinions one after another, wishing to transfer the two of them to Beijing as officials immediately, Yue Shan naturally followed suit and expressed his opinion that they should be promoted.

The two have served in Lingnan for a long time, especially Ning Chun, who has been operating there for decades, where their personal influence even exceeds that of the imperial court.

I can't suspect them of rebellion because of this, but people's hearts are fickle.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to transfer the two of them away from Lingnan is beneficial to the court and to them personally.

But for others, it is also a great thing to transfer the two of them away, grab the position.

Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian suggested that they should not have much selfishness in suggesting that they transfer positions, but the others most likely have selfishness.

This is also a normal phenomenon, and it is the normal state of politics that the same parties fight against differences.

Then they discussed the next step plan for the Turks, and finally decided to completely solve the scourge of the Western Turks and the northern grasslands before the arrival of summer.

Li Shimin especially emphasized the need to inquire about the situation of Goguryeo in advance to prepare for the future conquest of Gao.

This topic has aroused the worries of many people. After all, everyone still generally blames the demise of the Sui Dynasty on Emperor Sui Yang's three conquests of Goguryeo. They are afraid that the Tang Dynasty will follow in the footsteps.

But at this time Li Shimin's authority was too high, and no one dared to object to his ideas.Besides, most of the prime ministers did not object, and the military generals were even more eager to try, so it was not easy for them to stand up and pour cold water.

The meeting lasted until four or five o'clock in the afternoon. After leaving the palace, Yue Shan hurried home without stopping. He was still busy with wedding preparations.

Once people get busy, the time will pass very quickly. Before you know it, it will be the ninth day of February, and the next day will be the day when Yue Shan will marry Changle Princess Li Lizhi.

The whole family of four surnames Ping put up lanterns and festoons to celebrate the happy event. This was not arranged by Yueshan, but a spontaneous celebration by the neighbors.

Not to mention the Yue Mansion, which was even more luxuriously decorated.

Yue Shan found Wang Ji early in the morning: "Brother Wu Gong, how is the matter I entrusted to you?"

Wang Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry about my work, you will see the results right away."
