Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 254
Now that it has been said, Feng Daiwen supported Li Chengqian and said while walking: "The people under your command should use their abilities, and it is useless to keep the incompetent, so it is better to make another arrangement.

Flatterers are useless except to bring down the superiors, and as the crown prince, the important thing is not how to lead people, but to learn all kinds of knowledge, as long as you learn a lot and see a lot, you will naturally have a clear heart and see people and things directly to the essence , is good or bad at a glance. "

"Yeah! Brother-in-law's words Chengqian will keep in mind, and he should think about it when he goes back." Li Chengqian listened carefully, nodded and said.

"Actually, you don't need to think too much, just let nature take its course. The most important thing in a person's life is to be happy. Do what you like best, and then you can do it well. For example, if you ask him to forge iron, if he loves carpentry, his achievements will always be limited." Feng Daiwen I don't want to continue the discussion, but lead from another direction.

After all, Li Chengqian still has to be the prince for a long time, if he doesn't have an optimistic and cheerful heart, he can't do it.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Chengqian left after visiting Guang'an.

Next, Feng Daiwen understood why Qu Tuquan said that he was busy yesterday. Although Chang'an City is large, it is still very easy for the honorable family to inquire about a piece of news.

Feng Daiwen only came back for one night, but today he received many invitations and greetings, and received many friends and acquaintances.

As soon as Li Chengqian left, his elder brother Feng Daizhi came, with the same request and the same formula; before Feng Daizhi left, his father-in-law Wei Chigong came again, and he also asked for something from others, so his attitude was a little gentle.

Other acquaintances also came to the door one after another. Finally, Feng Daiwen had to release the news and all waited in line for the goods. Then he closed the door of the house and saw no guests.

…………

At the end of each year, the imperial court held a big meeting. Officials from the three provinces and six ministries counted the major events of the year, and reported their income and expenditure to the emperor. Then there was the country's plan for the next year, and the emperor's own requirements for the new year.

All things are divided into one priority, the plan is listed before the year, and the plan is implemented after the year.

"In the three years of Zhenguan, the income was more than 8500 million guan, grain, silk cloth, silk, etc. totaled more than 9200 million guan, of which more than 2000 million guan was collected from commercial taxes, and 4500 million guan was earned by the imperial government. The rest was seized in Wadao.

Grain income Jiangnan Road..."

In addition to the six ministries of the three provinces, there are also those in charge of the local government who have returned to Beijing to report on their work. Feng Daiwen is naturally among them, listening to the year-end report of Sun Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"The money and food in the third year of Zhenguan was three times that of last year, and it was more than ten times that of the eighth year of Wude. Congratulations!" Changsun Wuji read the report in his hand in a cadenced voice, and congratulated Li Shimin loudly after reading the report. Pass it up.

Li Shimin didn't have much joy on his face. He took the report and put it aside and said, "I read this report all night yesterday. I was really happy at first, but after reading it carefully, I found many problems."

"Respectfully invite the hadith!" Changsun Wuji thought that he had done something wrong, so his expression changed, and he lowered his head and said.

"You don't have to blame yourself for the auxiliary machine. I don't blame you for this. I checked it carefully several times and compared it. I found that in many places, whether it is food or other, the income has not increased much, especially in some remote places. The difference is very big." Li Shimin. Said with a sullen face.

"The minister has also thought about this matter. There are two reasons. One is that the remote areas are underpopulated and the land is barren. The other is that the officials don't understand the new farming method, and the promotion is not effective. Naturally, the people don't know it." With a sigh of relief, he directly pushed the responsibility to two or five or six, obviously thinking about it a long time ago.

"Huh! Ineffective promotion, check! The Ministry of Officials, Yushitai inspects various places, not only to investigate local corruption, but also to check whether their ability is qualified, to see if it is a problem with the local officials or the Ministry of Industry, if they are not capable, let them out, I will not Those who need a corpse for a vegetarian meal! Once found out, all of them will be demoted to teach Mengtong how to read." Of course, Li Shimin was not satisfied with this answer, and said with a cold snort.

"I obey the order!" Wei Zheng, the official censor, and Dai Zhou, the minister of the Ministry of officials, immediately got up to receive the order.

After getting angry, Li Shimin calmed down and asked, "Besides strict investigation, what suggestions do you dear friends have?"

"I think that no matter whether you are capable or not, the imperial court should send more officials to various places to guide and publicize, so that the people can understand how to do it and how beneficial it is." Fang Xuanling stood up and cupped his hands.

"Your minister seconded the proposal, and you can gather people together. There is no need to waste manpower in too barren land, and both Shuofang and Liaoxi can see the advantages of centralized operation." Xiao Yu stood up and echoed.

"Seniors and others!" The others looked at each other and said in unison.

"Good! Since we all agree, let's arrange it like this." Li Shimin glanced around and nodded.

Seeing that the others were not talking, Li Shimin also looked at himself, knowing that it was time for him to appear, and also took out a booklet from his body, opened it and read: "After two years of rectification, the Tang Dynasty now has 45 elite soldiers, including Khitan people." [-], [-] Turkic, [-] Huihe, [-] soldiers from various ethnic groups in Shuzhong, Nanzhao, Lingnan and other places, among them guards...

40 government soldiers from all over the country can be recruited at any time, and only 6 troops can be mobilized. "

"That is to say, the Tang Dynasty has no troops to go to war now. Regarding the adjustment of troops, what is the plan of the Ministry of War?" Li Shimin took the brochure handed over by Li Jing and put it aside, and asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty is wise, the Ministry of War plans to train [-] new elite soldiers in the next year, and the iron mines in western Liaoning will be able to equip a large number of soldiers within a year." Li Jing cupped his hands.

"My minister seconded the proposal! The large-scale iron mine in western Liaoning needs time to mine and forge. If it takes a year, it will be enough to equip tens of thousands of heavy armored soldiers." Feng Daiwen agreed aloud.

Li Shimin has been through the battlefield for a long time, so he naturally understands the concept of tens of thousands of heavy armor. His Xuanjia army belongs to heavy armored cavalry. At the beginning, 3000 people could kill several times in a [-] army and disrupt the enemy's formation. Heavy cavalry, Li Shimin dare to say that he is not afraid of any enemy.

Even if it is all infantry, it is still a group of iron bumps. Judging from the current enemies of the Tang Dynasty, they only need tens of thousands to push horizontally, and the field battle is invincible.

"Okay! I'm waiting for a year. I'm mobilizing [-] Japanese slaves to mine and make as many weapons and armor as possible." Li Shimin said vigorously with his eyes shining.

"I think it's inappropriate. To ensure that the people are farming, iron is indispensable, and building palaces, shops, and ships requires a lot of steel. You can't ignore the people's livelihood because of the military. After all, the Tang Dynasty is not in a hurry to go to war." Xiao Yu stood up and objected. road.

"Mr. Xiao's words are justified, and the minister seconded the proposal!" Fang Xuanling has always been very supportive of correct opinions, and the Tang Dynasty is changing with each passing day. In his opinion, the development of people's livelihood is the key point. As for the military, he is not in a hurry.
