Chapter 106 The Way of the Tang Dynasty's Prosperity and Power

The point where civil servants are more powerful than military men is that they are eloquent. For thousands of years, they have a theory that can convince most people, which is enough to convince the emperor and promote administrative affairs according to the suggestions of civil servants.

At present, such a group of civil servants gathered around Guo Wei, who are indoctrinating all their efforts to realize the great ideal of helping the king Yao and Shun.

Prime Minister Li Gu believed that the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful in all dynasties. If Your Majesty wants to unify the world, he needs to imitate the experience of the Tang Dynasty. Among the many experiences, he first recommended Tian Hefu soldiers.

The land was granted by households, divided into Yongye Field and Koudien, which were passed down from generation to generation. After Ding Nan's death, the land needs to be returned to the court for reallocation.

Everyone cultivates the fields and every household works for farming.

If you have constant property, you will be persistent. Among the farmers, you will recruit young and strong soldiers, guard the border during wartime, farm during peacetime, and bring your own food and weapons. The burden on the court is reduced, and the people will be spared from hunger and cold. After granting the land, the court will collect land taxes, 2 stones per coin, and collect local cloth, silk, and hemp. In addition, it is stipulated that each coin will serve 20 days a year. If the deadline is exceeded, the land rent will be reduced as compensation.

...

Giving the people land in exchange for soldiers, food, cloth and corvee labor is a very good business. As long as you persist for 10 or 20 years, you can usher in a prosperous era.

Li Gu was full of confidence and sold his ideas to Guo Wei.

Not only Guo Wei, but even Chai Rong listened with relish. Equalizing the fields is really the only way to enrich the country and strengthen the army!

"Father, my son, I think the scope of land granting should be expanded according to what Li Xianggong said. If the Central Plains can complete land granting, then there will be millions of soldiers in our Great Zhou Dynasty, so why worry about not being able to unify the world!"

Guo Wei nodded, "This discussion is indeed a formal discussion. Mr. Li, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty must implement the law, and the first thing to do is to win the trust of the people. In order to reform the law, Shangjun set up a wood outside the city gate to make the trust, and the people are convinced, so that the new law can be implemented. The old ministers think that our Great Zhou should follow the example of the ancestors!"

Guo Wei said in confusion: "Gong-in-law Li, how do you establish your authority?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that there is a person who does what he does, who is easy to do, is lazy and flirtatious, and is fancy but not real. But this person is very famous and highly favored. If Your Majesty can punish this person, he will definitely serve as a warning and make the people obey orders!"

After saying that, Li Gu bowed deeply.

Guo Wei is not a fool, he has already said it very clearly. He is going to take action against Ye Hua!

"Mr. Li, is the person you are talking about the champion?

"That's right!" Li Gu said seriously: "Since last year, the Champion Hou has promoted merchants in the capital, and has accumulated wealth in vain, so that everyone imitated it and fought for profit. As a result, the land prices collapsed and the market was in chaos. In this way, the old minister thought that it was necessary to punish and should not tolerate and indulge it!"

Li Gu aimed his muzzle at Ye Hua, which seemed reckless, but had thought about it carefully.

The government affairs hall should implement the policy of focusing on agriculture and national importance, so of course it is necessary to curb merchants. At present, Ye Hua, the one who is best at doing business in Beijing, would not be able to implement laws without teaching this popular boy a lesson.

Unfortunately, Ye Hua became the best chicken in Li Xianggong's eyes!

Chai Rong agreed with Li Gu's suggestion, but was unwilling to punish Ye Hua.

You must know that it was Ye Hua's military achievements that helped him get rid of the biggest stumbling block Wang Jun, who owed Ye Hua a favor!

"Mr. Li Xianggong, the actions of the champion Hou are also for the good of the court. This time, he can eliminate the rebel Wang Jun and make contributions. I think there is no need to punish him."

"Otherwise." Li Gu was still stubborn and said seriously: "Your Highness King Jin, the merits and demerits cannot be confused. Wang Jun is the lesson of the past. He invested in real estate with his family wealth, but the result was heavy losses. Wang Jun rebelled against the traitor, of course he deserved to die. But if the court and other ministers had learned from Wang Jun to do things, wouldn't it be a disaster for the country and the people?"

Chai Rong was speechless when asked, Li Gu continued: "The old minister did not want to treat the champion Marquis, but he just asked Your Majesty to punish him to correct the people's hearts and the right way, and to show Your Majesty the Holy Will. Even if you will feel a little wronged by the champion Marquis, the old minister thinks that he will understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

After discussing national policies, discussing and discussing, he actually wanted to take action against Ye Hua.

Guo Wei was very unhappy, but he couldn't find any refutation.

Do you really want to be wronged Ye Hua?

It seems that for the sake of the country, country and the world, he should do this... Guo Wei hesitated for a while and did not nod his agreement. He still values ​​feelings very much.

After coming out of the hall, Feng Dao suddenly took a few steps and caught up with Li Gu.

"Mr. Li, it is not a gentleman to take revenge on his own! If you have the ability, just come to me, why bother venting your anger on my disciples?"

"Disciple?" Li Gu smiled, "Taoshi, when will he be your master? Why don't I know?"

"Hmph, it's going to happen sooner or later!"

Li Gu laughed loudly, "Old teacher, champion Hou is rare, I don't want him to go to evil paths. If you really treat him as a disciple, you should let him bear some storms and cannot protect him all the time. Are you right?"

After saying that, Li Gu ignored Feng Dao and left.

Old Feng Dao was so angry that he changed his face and color. Outsiders thought that Ye Hua was very close to him, but Feng Dao knew that the boy was very wary of him!

If it was targeted by Li Gu and others because of his involvement, maybe Ye Hua would settle the account on Feng Dao, and this apprentice would be completely ruined by then... Old Feng Dao was in tears and could only let him do nothing.

After living in the palace for half a month, Brother Guo Xing was not used to it and often woke up from crying in the middle of the night. The people around him didn't know how to take care of this little ancestor, so they had no choice but to continue to send it to the Ye family.

When Guo Wei remembered Li Gu's suggestion, he decided to take Brother Guo Xing to the Ye Mansion in person. No matter what the imperial court is, in private, the two families are relatives with broken bones and tendons.

Boss Guo came to Ye’s mansion with his son in his arms and met the old lady of Ye.

After asking, Ye Hua was not here.

"The first month has not yet passed, why don't you spend more time with your aunt?" Guo Wei complained.

The old lady smiled, "What the saint said is that Lao Shi wanted him to stay at home, but the child couldn't sit still, so he ran to the street again, and together with General Zhao and General Yang, he said that he wanted to bring the street back to life and make business prosperous again. I heard that he had made a bet!"

Guo Wei frowned, "Auntie, do this matter seriously?"

"I don't dare to lie. They have been busy for more than ten days. They go out early and come back late every day, and fall asleep. It looks even more tired than fighting!"

Guo Wei was interested. He blamed Ye Hua last time. Could it be that this kid really thought of a solution?

If he had the ability to make the shop come alive, I wouldn’t know where to put Li Xianggong’s old face!

Guo Wei was also hesitating whether to follow Li Gu’s advice and learn the Tang Dynasty’s methods. He was really unsure of his mind, so he might as well go and see what tricks that kid Ye Hua could play!

Guo Wei left his son in Ye's mansion, then went privately for a private visit, and took a few guards. After a short while, he arrived at the commercial street where Ye Huajian was built.

Looking from a distance, I saw crowds of people, which seemed much lively than other places, and many older people were looking forward to it.

Soon, several carriages came from the other side of the street. The carriages were filled with them. A tall man jumped down and shouted loudly. The people rushed forward and rushed to buy them.

Guo Wei pointed his hand and asked a guard to come over to see what was going on.

After almost a quarter of an hour of going, the guard was panting, holding a cabbage in his hand, and sweating on his forehead, "Sage, the people are grabbing vegetables!"

"Grab? Very cheap?"

"Well, this big one, only 3 copper coins, and at least 5 copper coins elsewhere!"

The so-called sauerkraut is cabbage, which is one of the most important vegetables in the north in winter. Even the palace cannot be separated from it. Moreover, Guo Wei also knew that the sauerkraut he ate would cost 100 copper coins!

The difference is really big!

"The one selling vegetables is Zhao Kuangyin, who is the imperial guard?"

"That's right, it's General Zhao, and the champion Hou is here, he is helping with the scale!"

Ye Hua is also here? Still working with him?
