Xue Chongxun thinks that being good at doing anything is secondary, and the most important thing is to put time on it.
At this time, those scholars who took the scientific exam, regardless of their talent and IQ, must first insist on reciting the classics repeatedly; and Xue Chongxun, in his previous life, also had the same method of learning mathematics, repeatedly training calculations and tactics for a long time.
Now that he has become a powerful prince, he has become a politician, and most of his background is determined by his background. He has not carefully thought about whether he is suitable for the officialdom and whether he is good at politics...
Since we have to rely on power to survive, we can only try our best to spend time on it.
Except for the days when he went to the court, he usually stayed in the prince's kingdom during the day.
The prime ministers usually come here one after another in the afternoon to talk about things, just like Princess Taiping's Mansion before.
When ministers enter and exit the princely kingdom, they are in themselves representing a camp position.
All six prime ministers (Lu Xiang resigned first, Cui Xi was assassinated, and Liu An was the main force of Xue Chongxun; Zhang said that the full-time prime minister was helped by Xue Chongxun, and he had been fighting fiercely recently; Dou Huaizhen, the fence-leading grass, got the momentum first and moved closer to Xue Chongxun of Gao; Xiao Zhizhong's old Taiping Hall members were with others; Cheng Qianli had a marriage relationship with him.
Six prime ministers went out of their homes five times, and even the remaining one Li Shouyi, who did not often walk around the prince's kingdom, was also in love with the Secretariat, and he would come occasionally.
The Tang Dynasty government has held the hand of Xue Chongxun. Recently, through reforms, it has gradually begun to integrate the old party in Taiping, and the development of the situation has become increasingly obvious.
Today, Zhang said that he came, and then Liu An and Dou Huaizhen also came, Xiao Zhizhong came at the end, and the four prime ministers talked about the reform in the prince's kingdom.
Xue Chongxun listens most of the time, and occasionally asks some irrelevant small questions.
Things were so strange. The more Xue Chongxun was like this, the more everyone felt that he became deeper and mature. Even old ministers like Dou Huaizhen who had been in front of Taiping before dared to look down on him.
The place where they talked was in the main hall opposite the main entrance of the Prince's Kingdom. It was a two-meter-high base and a two-story building. The name was Xue Chongxun himself. It was taken from the meaning of the wind and storm coming. However, everyone did not know the source, because this poem was a poem from the late Tang Dynasty...
Everyone just thought it was because of the ventilation of the upper floor.
The second floor of the main hall is an open hall, which is ventilated on all sides like a large and wide pavilion. It has a wide view on the upper floor. The surrounding peach blossom forest, rows of weeping willows, artificial rivers, and stone bridges are within view. There are also some corridors and houses that are the offices of the officials of the Prince.
This garden is indeed beautifully built, but it is not as luxurious as the previous Princess Taiping Mansion. The corridors inside are obviously smaller, and the roofs are mostly made of ordinary green tiles.
Because Xue Chongxun himself didn't care much about the prosperity of the mansion, the wealth and honor he showed was all empty, so he only adjusted the budget by the user department, so of course he couldn't make much repair.
Only this main hall is built in a simple and grand manner, fascinating way.
Xue Chongxun sat on the soft collapse of the open hall, and made a very serious expression as Zhang Shuo and others spoke. His clothes were still purple. Even though he became a prince, he was not convinced...
Even the princes surnamed Li could not wear yellow, because the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty believed that red and yellow (ochron yellow) was similar to the sun, and the sun was also a symbol of the emperor. There was no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country, so he ordered that red and yellow should not be worn randomly.
By the time of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, the emperor was afraid that yellow would be mixed with ochre and yellow, so he simply ordered all officials and people to prohibit wearing yellow.
The officials sitting here are all senior officials of the third rank or above in the court, and their official uniforms are also purple. At first glance, everyone is wearing similar clothes.
The most talked is Zhang Shuo.It was the preparation stage for reform, and he presided over the reform, so naturally the most talked about was that thing.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the imperial court also set up a governor's office in the 16 roads of the world. However, at that time, the main source of troops in the country was from the Zhechong Prefecture. There were no regular soldiers, so the governor's office naturally had no soldiers to control, and it did not play the role of supervising local officials.So in the end, the Governor's Office almost became a decoration, and local military and political power is still in the hands of the governor and the chief.The Governor's Office has become a burden and a good place to resettle officials who have lost power. It is precisely because of these unproductive and unabolized yamen that the official system of our Tang Dynasty has become increasingly bloated... Zhang Shuo talked freely.
Dou Huaizhen also cooperated and interjected: Can't you cut it off?Who would do that offend!
Zhang said: We talk about reform, but we don’t talk about administration.Since it cannot be cut off, there is no need to add a new yamen to reform. Just change the Governor's Office and let them take charge of the troops.In view of the insufficient military supply of Zhechong Mansion, the intention of this reform is to prevent the military situation where the outside is focused on the inside and neglects the inside. It is necessary to expand the scale of the officials and strengthen the scale and garrison the local troops of the Governor's Office.
When Xue Chongxun heard this, words such as Jiedushi and Warlord Separatism suddenly appeared in his mind.
In the past, he wanted to increase the power of the Jiedu governor in order to develop his power in Longyou; but the plan could not keep up with the changes, Taiping suddenly withdrew from the power field, and he was pushed to the forefront of the central government...
Different positions and angles are different, so what you need to do will naturally be different.Now that he is in the center, of course he doesn't want to see the local area grow bigger, and checks and balances are his position.
In the sense of stabilizing the power of the center, the government system is the best military system, because when the government is the main combat force, the army cannot gather when there is nothing to do, so there will naturally be no conditions to form warlords and cannot threaten the power of the capital.
However, whenever a dynasty develops and matures, it will be accompanied by land annexation, and fewer self-cultivated farmers will become less and less, resulting in the decline in combat effectiveness of the Mansion's Bingyuan...
The Tang Dynasty was pretty good.
Xue Chongxun’s idea was to use the excuse to change this status quo that scholars knew to achieve the goal of controlling the military power of Chang’an.
Of course, his main purpose is not to strengthen the country and the military, and the key is to fight for power and profit.
There is no way, no one will do it for himself, heaven and earth will be destroyed.
Judging from what Zhang said, Zhang Xianggong also fully understood the intention above. When Xue Chongxun heard his argument for the country and the people, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.
However, in an important place, Xue Chongxun still reminded: Give military power to the Governor's Office, and at the same time, we must prevent the severity from falling out. Let them concentrate on the military and never get involved in the finance and taxes of the local government...
Zhang Shuo clasped his fists and said: What King Jin said was very true. We should think of the joints here, and we must consider them repeatedly during the reform.
At this time, Liu An talked about tax reform again. Although the reform is still in the preparation stage and no formal edict has been issued yet, the Ministry of War wants to expand its official duties, and fiscal expenditures must be significantly increased, and revenue reduction must be carried out at the same time.
Liu An first proposed a series of ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and then focused on two major innovation ideas of the Ministry of Revenue: salt administration and grain administration.
The law of salt detention is to register all new and old salt people, and compile them into the household registration of the pavilion household, and be assigned to the salt and iron envoy, and they are exempted from miscellaneous labor, and they are dedicated to boiling salt and taking officials, and they are stolen and boiling private traffickers to discuss the law. They set up salt administration agencies in places where salt is produced in the mountains and sea wells and stoves. The small ones are pavilions, the middle ones are the field, and the big ones are the supervisor, and the salt is collected.After the official collection, the salt tax was added to the selling price, and the tax was included at the price, and then the merchant resold the merchant; after paying the price and receiving the salt, the merchant was able to transport and sell freely, and the prefectures and counties he passed by were no longer taxed. In remote areas, merchants rarely visited, the official set up Changping salt to help them... Liu An said confidently that the new salt law is the cross: civil system, official collection, official sales, commercial transportation, and commercial sales.
After saying that, Xiao Zhizhong, who has always been cautious, low-key and conservative, also praised him endlessly, and others also nodded and praised him frequently.
Liu An was a little taken away for a moment and said proudly: The country's salt is for merchants, and the merchants accept the salt is for the people, so that the people in the world have lost money to the officials!As a result, the finances were sufficient, and it was no problem for Mr. Zhang to increase his troops by 100,000.
Zhang said that he was quite excited when he had a way to make money. No one in the world's financial management is better than Liu Xianggong.
Dou Huaizhen also hurriedly seized the opportunity to shoot: There are many talents in the court today, and the country is rich and the soldiers are just around the corner. The King of Jin made the most contribution.
Xue Chongxun laughed, not commenting on the matter, but said to Liu An in a concerned tone: Liu Xianggong's eyes are all black, thank you for your hard work these days.There will definitely be some place in history to write about your contribution to the country.
Liu An pretended to be humble and hurriedly praised Xue Chongxun: The King of Jin changed the law of transport in the grain year before yesterday, which was deeply touched by me... The barriers to transport in the grain, and the law was not practiced, which was more than the poor administration of the government.We are powerless to stop people's greed and selfishness. Only by starting from the Dharma can we improve the status quo.
Xue Chongxun said: Let Li Xianggong (Li Shouyi) do it well. Anyway, he is as jealous as a grudge and is not afraid of offending others. We will give him the place to perform.
Dou Huaizhen said with respect: The King of Jin knows people and uses them well, which is truly a blessing for the country.
Wherever... Who doesn't want to hear good things?
Xue Chongxun's face was so funny that he said, "As long as we work together, we will be able to do something big and create a prosperous country for generations. I hope that all the public will be encouraged."
The four prime ministers held the ceremony together and said: Work together to create a prosperous era.
Xue Chongxun laughed and pointed at Liu An happily and said: I really read that right. I don’t have a grain administration? Tell me, hurry up.
The grain is collected for half a year and the stock is closed to prevent low grain from hurting farmers. When the price of grain rises in the desert and the green and yellow grains rise, the stock is closed to settle the price, and the people will benefit and the country will make profits.Therefore, "If the granaries are full, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace." The world will be governed by hand.
……
Xue Chongxun was in a great mood today, and shouted that the chef would make wine and food, and called Xue Liu again: Go and get some singing girls. Tonight I will drink with my husbands, and I will not return without getting drunk... I will invite Mr. Cheng and Mr. Li to come and give me an invitation.I said I wanted to buy Meng Xiaoyu from Shuiyun. Did you come to the mansion?
Haven’t I heard about this?
Xue Chongxun said: By the way, I asked her to decide for herself... Then you go find Sister Du and ask her to send some people to come and help you with the emergency.
At this time, those scholars who took the scientific exam, regardless of their talent and IQ, must first insist on reciting the classics repeatedly; and Xue Chongxun, in his previous life, also had the same method of learning mathematics, repeatedly training calculations and tactics for a long time.
Now that he has become a powerful prince, he has become a politician, and most of his background is determined by his background. He has not carefully thought about whether he is suitable for the officialdom and whether he is good at politics...
