Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 125 Change II

"Well, it makes sense. The foundation laid by the fathers cannot be ruined in the hands of the younger generations. I am determined to send the royal princes under the age of 18 to the martial arts academy. I will personally serve as the mountain leader. The Duke of Wei Li Jing and the Duke of Yi Qin Qiong Serve as sacrificial wine, and the other Twelve Guards Generals will be named teachers, and go to teach from time to time." Li Shimin agreed with the decree.

Everyone thought that there was no harm, since he was still a student of the Son of Heaven when he came out, there was still reason to object, and they wished to send their son to the academy immediately.

Li Jing and Qin Qiong quickly received the order.The generals in the army who have seen it are also very happy, at least this will allow them to teach many students, this is the network of relationships, but they think everything is too simple, how can Li Shimin not see the reason for this, Feng Daiwen has already detailed I've explained it, so I'm not worried.

Everyone saw that there were so many memorials in front of Feng Daiwen, so after the discussion, Li Shimin stopped asking and all looked at Feng Daiwen.

Feng Daiwen smiled embarrassedly, picked up two more memorials and said: "My ministers please play, raise the salaries of officials at the end of the year, implement open administrative affairs and open finances in all regions, so that high salaries can be used to maintain integrity and avoid corruption."

"Well, I've approved this matter. I will discuss the salary with the Ministry of Officials and handle it as appropriate." I have already got through with Li Shimin, so I agreed without hesitation.

"Please, please subdivide the three provinces and six departments. The Tang Dynasty is changing with each passing day. The three provinces and six departments are no longer enough. The minister proposes to increase the finance department first, responsible for statistics, accounting, distribution, money, grain and property. Taxes in various places should be collected first. Two-year budget, when the finance department calculates, the excess will be refunded and the deficiency will be compensated. The finance department is divided into accountants and cashiers. The accountants can only do accounting, and the cashier is responsible for distribution. The second Ministry of Commerce is responsible for Datang's domestic and foreign trade, price negotiation, and coordination of domestic product prices. , to prevent false highs, etc. The third is to set up a law-enforcement department, which is responsible for improving national laws, and subdivides the punishment department into arrest, investigation, review, and sentencing. Each department is separated. Investigation can arrest, but cannot sentence. There are laws to abide by, laws must be followed, violations must be investigated, and law enforcement must be strictly enforced." Feng Daiwen introduced.

"Okay! Well, there are laws that must be obeyed, violations must be investigated, and law enforcement must be strictly enforced. The minister seconded!" Wei Zheng applauded loudly and seconded his words.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Qin Qiong, Kong Yida, Xiao Yu and more than a dozen ministers followed suit.

"Well, that's true. Firstly, it can avoid favoritism and fraud, and secondly, it can avoid unjust, false and wrongly decided cases through multiple investigations. The matter of Lai Guo's public house Xuanling will be discussed and reorganized by you and the Criminal Department. An additional inspection department will be added to inspect the judiciary. Department, but no arrests, torture, etc., only inspection powers." Li Shimin followed the routine with many people agreeing.

After Fang Xuanling took the decree, Feng Daiwen picked up the memorial again and said: "My minister, the separation of the military and the government, the military does not interfere with the government, and the government does not interfere with the army. Although the current imperial court is also separated from the military and the government, it should be a permanent example. It is not a frontier area. They must not interfere with each other, but they can supervise and help each other, and if they find something, they need to submit it to their superiors, and they must not interfere in internal affairs."

"My lord, please subdivide the Yushitai into two parts, military and political. The Yushitai is not allowed to play rumors, rumors can be investigated, and you are not allowed to intervene in local and military affairs. What you play must have something to say." Feng Devin paused. continue.

"General Feng's words are very true, and the minister seconded it." Wei Zheng, the official censor, seconded his words, and now other people can't talk too much. Whoever disagrees at this time is a fool.

"Since Yushitai agrees, this matter will be handled by Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui together." Li Shimin made a direct decision.

"My lord, please allow the people to marry foreigners as concubines, and reward the young Turkic women who were captured to the meritorious soldiers. It is advocated to have more children. If a common family has more than three children, tax relief and labor will be reduced as appropriate. If there are more than five surviving children, Family taxes and labor can be exempted." Feng Daiwen played.

"General Feng, will this affect taxation and labor?" Sun Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, asked.

"Changsun Shangshu is too worried. Now that there are so many captives in the Tang Dynasty, there is no need for too many people's labor. Now the people's labor officials suggest that the local government should plan it, play it out, and carry out the inspection later, so as not to abuse people's power." Feng Daiwen explained.

"Yes, I have approved this matter. The Ministry of Household Affairs will come up with a plan as soon as possible and announce it to the world. Some localities have not repaired a river for several years. I have decided that every year in the future, the governments in various places will need to report the plans for the next year. Otherwise, no money will be issued." Li Shimin agreed.

Seeing that Feng Daiwen explained clearly, Changsun Wuji stopped talking, and he understood it himself, just to show that he, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, is a dedicated existence.

"The veteran thinks it's wrong. Turkic people are also human beings. How can so many young women be rewarded to soldiers? It's hurting Tianhe and my Tang Dynasty face." Li Gang led a few Confucianists to speak out against it.

"Humph, are Turkic people human? Mr. Li, you haven't read the newspaper. How did the Turkic people treat our people in the Tang Dynasty? During the Daye period, there were more than 900 million households. According to the comments, a family of five, that is, 4500 million people, we At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, in the sixth year of Wude, the Supreme Emperor decreed statistics, but there were more than 200 million households, but more than 1000 million people, this is more than 3500 million people! These people have gone there, Mr. Li, you are a great Confucian, can you tell the officials " Feng Daiwen narrowed his eyes and asked in a bad tone.

"At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and countless people died in battle. The Turks can't be blamed. Not all Turks are bad people. The sage said: Repay evil with virtue. Our great country..." Li Gang retorted.

"Li Gong, I don't read much. If I remember correctly, I should repay grievances with virtue. Why should I repay virtue? Repay virtue with virtue, and repay grievances with honesty. You were born a great Confucian, so it is not good to take meaning out of context. And the sage once said, very The minds of my race must be different, I want you to explain this sentence to you, in my opinion, if you don't speak Tang dialect, use Tang etiquette, and wear Tang costumes, you are a foreign race." Feng Daiwen interrupted angrily Li Gang's words asked loudly.

"You, you, you..." Li Gang touched his chest with one hand angrily, and pointed at Feng Daiwen tremblingly with the other, speechless.

"By the way, look at you, if you don't touch your conscience, you can't speak." Feng Daiwen saw that Li Gang knew nothing wrong, and kept pointing at himself, frowning and sarcastically speaking.

"I, I, uh..." Li Gang was so angry that his beard trembled, he glanced at him, but couldn't catch his breath, and passed out.

Feng Daiwen was taken aback. He had never met someone who could faint with anger, so he quickly said, "Hey, I'm still so far away from you, don't try to blackmail me."

"Stop talking nonsense." Li Shimin looked at Feng Daiwen, who was playing tricks, and said angrily. After seeing it, he was still angry, so he was helped to call the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
