- What Di Renjie said is also the reason.
Since Li Zhi came to Luoyang, he has not gone back for a long time. But in the hearts of civil and military officials, Chang'an was the first capital and the real place of Longxing. From the terrain point of view, it is also dangerous to the Guanhe River, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if Wu Zetian changed Luoyang into Tiandu, she could not deny this fact.
But at this time, Di Renjie proposed this advice, which has far-reaching significance. Not only have I been away from Chang'an for a long time, but it's time to go back. The Queen Mother of Luoyang had been operating for a long time and allocated a lot of money from the treasury to appease the people. Even the soldiers who guarded the palace were from Luoyang themselves.
The Queen Mother of Chang'an also won over people's hearts, but the degree of winning over was not enough. It was also the base of Li Tang, with many relatives and wealthy Guanlong families surrounding Chang'an. For example, the emperor's relatives, the Wei family, lived in Wannian County, Chang'an. Once they return to Chang'an, the Yulin Army can be replaced again, including a large number of chamberlains and maids. The power of the emperor and the queen mother will again wax and wane.
Therefore, Di Renjie put forward this suggestion during the first court meeting.
"According to the report, the late emperor passed away. As a minister, I did not go to pay homage. It was also my fault. It just so happened that I led all my dear friends to pay homage to the late emperor before returning to Xijing."
"Your Majesty is wise."
As soon as Di Renjie retreated, someone stood up, Song Jing.
Holding the tooth wand, he said: "I also have a message. It is the middle of July and the weather is hot. Once your Majesty returns to Xijing, he will go up to the civil and military ministers, the concubines in the inner palace, and down to the Yulin army officers and soldiers, and the families of the scholars. There are envoys from various countries and palace maids, numbering in the tens of thousands. It is not easy to travel all the way. I think it is better to postpone it for half a month until August comes. The weather is clear and the season is the most suitable, which can also reflect His Majesty's purpose of benevolence to the people. "
After finishing speaking, everyone was silent.
If it is possible for the emperor to leave Luoyang immediately, he can do so immediately. Have you seen the East Palace? You are fully armed, you are a little Song Jing, you don¡¯t know that the emperor dug you out of that corner, if you don¡¯t have the emperor¡¯s appreciation, do you want to do it to Shizhong? I may not be able to sit in this position in my life, but I raised objections.
Several ministers looked at Li Wei with gloating, and then looked at the stupid young man in front of them.
But more people looked at Li Wei's reaction.
But Li Wei¡¯s expression made everyone even more strange.
Li Wei smiled, waved his hand and said, "Come here."
"Here." He walked up to Li Wei.
"I like your loyalty and uprightness very much. In the past, Wei Zheng said to His Majesty Taizong that the master is upright and his ministers are upright, but the master is dim and his ministers are sycophant. Therefore, Pei Ju served Emperor Yang and maintained it by flattery, but he served Taizong with loyal words and direct advice. In the later years of the late emperor, , The body is not healed, and it is difficult for the ministers to give honest advice. Even Li Yushi comes to give advice, and the people of the world call it Fengming Chaoyang. Come, please give Li Yushi two hundred pieces of silk and Song Qing three hundred pieces of silk to reward the world's loyalty. .Song Qing, I have listened to your advice."
"Your Majesty, I I" At this time, Xiao Song Jing had the qualifications and talent, but he had not yet reached the heights he would later achieve. With excitement, his eyes were spinning.
However, Ximen Chong, who had just arrived in Luoyang, almost wanted to jump up and pinch Xiao Song's neck. It makes sense, but it would be more advantageous for Your Majesty to leave Luoyang for a day at this time. A little travel difficulty is nothing compared to the country's big plans.
Because His Majesty rewards loyalty, he actually agreed.
His idea is very extreme, and Li Wei¡¯s intention of doing this is of great significance. It not only gave this capable minister the confidence and courage to continue on. It also provides a good example for bringing order to the current chaos.
Sometimes, killing and stamping alone cannot solve the problem. It is also not in line with Li Wei's style. Wu Zetian can use the word "kill" to its fullest extent, but in Li Wei's hands it may not be of much use.
"My dear friends, do you have anything else to report? If nothing else, let me tell you something. In the past, I asked Liu Guogong, Li Guogong and Wei Hongji to inspect various roads in order to build water conservancy and open up fertile fields. I also have three ministers in my hands. After the inspection, the files obtained were due to the efforts of the three ministers and the suggestions of people from all walks of life, who put forward many valuable opinions. For example, in the big lake in the south of the Yangtze River, there is water bamboo. Over time, its roots have surfaced, and there are many thick ones. The wide ones can reach hundreds of feet, and the small ones can reach dozens of feet. People have planted seeds on it, and crops can grow. The locals call it Fengtian. But Li Guogong has another idea. If he organizes manpower, he can grow crops on it. Make rafts and then spread them with mud, and the harvest will be even greater. There are many lakes and swamps in the south of the Yangtze River. This alone can obtain countless fertile fields for the country."
Many people don¡¯t understand this, and most people have never even been to Jiangnan. They only know that Jiangnan has a lot of water, hot and humid weather, and low-lying terrain.
Li Wei was also unclear about Fengtian and Jiatian, but it reminded him of one thing. It seems that the American continent has invented a kind of floating farmland on lakes now or in the future.?This is very similar. So it's approximately feasible.
"Want to go to Jiangnan in person," but the thought flashed across my mind. After coming to the Tang Dynasty, I went to many areas, such as Jiannan, Nanzhao, Lingxi, Qinghai, and even went for a walk at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, but I never went to Jiangnan or Liangzhun.
We can¡¯t go now.
It¡¯s a little regretful. It¡¯s difficult to be a good emperor, and it may not be that happy. He also said: "Next is Shatian. Between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, along the riverside and the sea, there are many unpredictable sandy and silt lands. The river surges to the east, the sandy land rises to the west, the river surges to the west, and the sandy land rises to the east. As long as you master them, Regular cultivation and timely cultivation will ensure fertile soil and ensure good harvests. In this regard, we can also promote and encourage the people. And the income tax will be exempted. Dear sirs, collecting taxes is to govern the country. Taxes are not collected for the sake of tax. In the end, they will be paid back in return. It is essential to the people.¡±
It was something Li Wei didn¡¯t think of at the time. Sha Tin is fertile and carries some risks. Changes in the river water will affect everything. If it is developed, a lot of farmland can be created, but the proportion of the total land will still be very small. Therefore, Li Wei directly exempted taxes on this kind of land, benefiting the people.
"Your Majesty is benevolent." Qian's flattery came back again and he immediately agreed.
"I am not benevolent. I went on several expeditions and died under my command. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people were killed by me."
"Flattery doesn't work, it hits the horse's hooves." Qian tastes embarrassing.
He added: "From now on, don't talk about my benevolence. What I value is that we all work together and do practical things to make our country stronger. Let's talk about water conservancy. Liu Liukui, a citizen of Mengzhou, once proposed to Wei Hongji A suggestion. There are many saline-alkali lands beside the Yellow River, with low yields or barrenness. However, if the water breaking method is used, the river water rushes in and the silt settles, which will improve the soil quality and increase the yield. This is also a good method. Then These are terraced fields, which Fujian and Zhejiang like to call mountain fields, which help supplement the number of fields cultivated by the people in the mountainous areas."
The latter one was passed by Li Wei. Terraced fields are great, but they are very damaging to the environment, no less harmful than nomadic herdsmen in the north.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Then there is the polder, which is surrounded by embankments built in the low-lying areas and swamps, with channels built in the middle, and steep gates set up outside. The gates are closed to control water during floods, and the gates are opened to release water during droughts, so as to ensure harvests during droughts and floods. Countless fertile fields can be obtained. "
This project will be a big project and the most expensive one. But once this is done, countless fertile fields will be added. Moreover, the polder has only appeared recently and its development is slow. Yes, the area is small. For example, in Zhaoguan, Wu Zixu was trapped in the swamp south of Zhaoguan more than a thousand years ago, so he had to go to Zhaoguan, and his hair turned gray in a hurry. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when Wei Rui was marching north, he had to pass through Zhaoguan. However, later, Wuwei Dawei and Hexian Dawei appeared. If you want to take the Hanshui Road, you don't know how many roads to choose from. This is a road, and the two large fairs are almost close to thousands of square kilometers. The Tang Dynasty developed less than four out of ten. Another example is that when Wei Rui conquered Shouchun, he was trapped in a swampy water town, but later it was a plain area.
"If all these polders were developed, it would be a great event, and the achievements would be comparable to Yang Guang's Grand Canal.
Wei Xuantong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, overhauling water conservancy will benefit the country and the people. It will not only control the water, but also gain a lot of fertile land. However, the country's financial resources are insufficient."
Li Wei looked at him deeply.
The mother¡¯s path to power is, first, to control her rights by handling government affairs for her father. The second is to strengthen control over the ministers through Pei Yan and Beimen scholars. Zhu Wu, Li Wei never thought they had any talent. There is only one Wu Sansi, who is yin and yang, slightly able to look beyond the eyes, and the others are almost useless.
But controlling Pei Yan by remote control does not mean that he can control the court. It is the support of the ministers for Pei Yan that enabled Wu Zetian to control the political situation step by step through Pei Yan's hands. Several important officials, including Guo Zhengyi, Guo Daiju, Wei Xuantong, Cen Changqian and Liu Jingxian, played an indelible role in the process.
Others did not care about it, but Wei Xuantong was the minister who was proposed by himself. Li Wei was very disappointed.
It can only be said that he was transferred back because there was a vacancy in the court, otherwise Li Wei might treat this person coldly.
Putting aside distracting thoughts, he said: "I know. At that time, Liu Guogong and I only had a hurried inspection, and many details were not agreed upon. Only this will take several years. Plan ahead and formulate the policy. In the future, the national treasury When there is enough, start one by one. Or start small first to see the results."
"Here."
"Let the court be dismissed. The Young Supervisor of Ximen and the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs will come with me to the Political Affairs Hall."
The ministers retreated.
Li Wei came to Zhengshi Hall.
All the prime ministers and officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs sat down.
When everyone arrived, Li Wei looked at Ximen? Said: "Ximen Chong, when the late Emperor Taishan consecrated Zen, Liu Yizhi went to admonish Yicang and suffered serious losses, and you went to admonish Huohua again. I later heard about these two things in the Western Regions. At that time, I was not in the country, But I¡¯m back, you can tell me more.¡±
The officials were all stunned and looked at the prime ministers.
The prime ministers also changed some people. Among the prime ministers under Wu Zetian, Pei Judao, Wei Daizi, Qian Weiwei and Wang Dezhen were still left. No one cared about these few people. Especially Wang Dezhen and Wei Bai, it will be a matter of time before they are demoted, and Qian's taste is probably inevitable. Pei Judao is the head of the country, but his talents are very limited. It was looking at the new prime ministers. Di Renjie, Wei Yuanzhong, Zhu Jingze, Wei Xuantong and Wei Zhigu.
In fact, in Li Wei's heart, it is enough to have these five people as prime ministers. In a few years, when Yao and Song grow up and are appointed as new prime ministers, a better peaceful age will come.
But the new prime ministers were obviously not prepared in advance and looked very surprised.
Ximen Chong muttered: "Your Majesty, I was young and ignorant, so I was just talking nonsense."
It was precisely because of his remonstrance that the imperial party was demoted. How come His Majesty revealed this matter again. - Didn't finish reading?
