Chapter 1226 Hidden knife in the smile

The Luoyang Palace is in the ban, and the Secretary of the Central Committee is introspective.

As soon as the Secretariat ordered Xu Jingzong returned to the province, he immediately asked the Secretariat's servant to help him and Li Yi's mansion summoned him.

Li Yifu politely asked Lai Ji to come forward, and he was two steps behind. He politely called Lai Ji the Ge Lao. Although both of them were the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Lai Ji was also the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Bachelor of Chongxian Pavilion. Li Yifu was the newly entered the Minister of the Central Secretariat as the Minister of the Central Secretariat and was also the Bachelor of Chongxian Pavilion. Among the six Central Secretariat who drafted external products in the province, Lai Ji was not the oldest, but he was responsible for the chores of the province. Therefore, like the Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Shizhong, he was also called the Ge Lao, which is extraordinary.

Outside Xu Jingzong's public room, a clerk greeted him with a smile and helped them sign up to open the door.

"sit."

Xu Jingzong stood up to greet him and greeted them to sit down.

Li Yifu rushed to make tea, and after soaking, he respectfully handed Xu Jingzong a cup first and then Laiji. Finally, Xu Jingzong asked him to sit down again, and he sat down half of his butt.

"I wonder what Xu Xiang asked us to come?"

The Secretariat, like the Menxia Province, has an introspection in the palace. This is because the Secretariat and Menxia Province are quite special and belong to the court's decision-making and deliberation organ. In order to facilitate the emperor to discuss with the ministers, it was set up in introspection in the palace. The main officials usually work in introspection to facilitate the emperor to summon him.

In addition, there are still other provinces in the imperial city outside the palace.

The Political Affairs Hall was first located in Menxia Province, which was convenient for the prime ministers to make decisions and deliberations. Later, Qin Lang advocated moving to the Secretariat, so the Menxia Province ranked behind the Secretariat.

Although the actual functions of the three provinces are far from before, the system of three provinces and six ministries initiated by Emperor Wen of Sui has actually changed a lot. Now it should be the general decision of the Zhengshi Hall. The two provinces under the Zhongshu have become affiliated with the Zhengshi Hall. As for the Shangshu Province, the status of the Shangshu Province has plummeted and has become a pure administrative agency.

In the past, the three high-ranking officials were prime ministers, and later, the ministers of the three provinces, such as the second ministers, were also appointed as prime ministers. Later, as long as the emperor wanted, he could be appointed as the third rank of the Secretariat, and the same as the ministers, and the same party as the ministers, and the same party as the ministers, and the same party as the ministers, and the same party as the ministers, and the same party as the ministers, and the same party as the ministers.

Therefore, whether the Dali Temple Minister, the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of War, and even the General Attendant of the Sanqi cavalry will not affect the appointment of prime ministers or not.

Therefore, the central system of the three provinces and six ministries has long changed.

The emperor's power was far greater than before, and the Political Affairs Hall was completely above the three provinces, but the expansion of the prime minister's team also brought about the weakening of the prime minister's power.

The Secretariat Ling was named the head of the Political Affairs Hall. In fact, since the emperor established the Political Affairs Pen and created the Prime Minister to take turns to serve as a Political Affairs Pen, the Secretariat Ling actually has the name of the Prime Minister.

The three provinces actually became two provinces. The Secretariat and the Secretariat are now often called together, and there is a tendency to merge, and even the Secretariat has a tendency to merge.

Although the three provinces are present, they are no longer the supreme authority of the court.

"Just just now, when the prince mentioned the Luzon Mansion, the outer fiefdom of Duke Wei. How much do you know about Duke Wei's Luzon Governor's Mansion?" Xu Jingzong held the teacup and spoke gracefully, without any rush or slowness.

Lai Ji is Qin Lang's righteous brother. His current status is entirely supported by the full cultivation and support of Qin Qiong and Qin Lang, his son. He also knows very well that he is a recognized representative of Qin Lang in the court.

Of course, Xu Jingzong was also brought by Qin Lang, and the Li Yi Mansion beside him was also supported by him.

He pondered for a moment.

"I wonder what aspect Xu Xianggong wants to ask?"

Xu Jingzong had no concealment in front of Laiji and Li Yi's mansions. He always treated the two as his confidants. Laiji was young and capable, and was the top scholar in the imperial examination. He was even more supportive of Qin Lang. He was long appreciated by the emperor and the crown prince. Now he has become the head of the six children of the Secretariat, a cabinet master who was sentenced to the affairs of the province, and also serves as the Minister of Personnel and the Grand Secretary of Chongxian Pavilion.

You should know that the crown prince’s right concubine Yu Zhining became the Minister of Personnel and directly became the Minister of Personnel.

So it is actually only one step away from the prime minister.

He said the prince's words again.

Lai Ji thought for a long time, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince have any objections to the external seal system? Or do you have any opinions about Mr. Wei?"

Xu Jingzong shook his head, "The prince will not have any objection to Duke Wei. Qin Liangdi is the most favored in the East Palace now."

"Li Sheren?"

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Yi's mansion, who had never spoken. This man was the first to work in the Qinqiong temple in Songzhou. Later, he was recommended to him to Beijing. Qin Lang recommended him to Ma Zhou and Xu Jingzong, and asked them to help him recommend him. From the ninth-rank sect, the imperial censor to the eighth-rank sect, the imperial censor, and then to the current Zhongshu Sheren. This man was young, but he was very scheming and resourceful. He had done several things well for Xu Jingzong before.

Many people in Beijing even gave Li Yifu a nicknamed human cat, saying that this person was as silent as a cat, and it was ridiculously insidious to hide the knife.

Of course, most of the people who evaluate Li Yi’s mansion in this way are officials who have been impeached by Li Yi’s mansion, or those who are jealous and envious of his rapid rise.

For the emperor, Li Yi Mansion was a poor family like Ma Zhou, but a talented and loyal minister. In the prince's case, Li Yi Mansion was also a young, promising and daring general.

"The officials thought that everyone in the world knew that Duke Wei and the Crown Prince are both teachers and friends. Since Zhenguan, Duke Wei has been strongly supporting His Highness. Even at several critical moments, he has tried to turn the tide and support the building to fall. His Highness naturally knew it in his heart. What's more, Duke Wei also gave Prince Taiping the same mother-in-law Princess Taiping, and the crown prince also took Duke Wei's half-sister as Liangdi, and took another sister to Liangyuan."

Li Yifu's words made the relationship between the prince and Qin Lang very clearly. Judging from the past situation of the two, there was no serious conflict of interest.

After all, Qin Lang has always been the most determined princeling or leader. Without Qin Lang, the prince might have been deposed long ago.

But now the prince suddenly mentioned Luzon, which meant to be accountable and attacked.

Li Yifu next analyzed that the prince should only be in business. After all, the Luzon Governor's Office was appointed by the saints, and the restrictions on immigration and settlement in foreign countries were also appointed by the emperor. Even the emperor directly proposed to immigrants who had settled in Luzon, Qin Lang paid the money on his behalf.

This matter has been dragging on Luzon. Now the prince is normal to ask this question. After all, the prince is now in charge of the country.

"In your opinion, how should this matter be resolved?" Xu Jingzong asked.

Although Xu Jingzong is now the Secretariat Ling, he knew very well that he was still weak in the court and wanted to rely on his uncle Changsun Wuji. He had to have Qin Lang's support to be firmly in the Secretariat Ling.

"Xu Xiang, the minister thinks that although there is a saint's decree in front of him, many immigrants in Luzon have immigrated to Luzon before the decree is issued. A hundred steeds of men are reduced by half among women. If we immigrate to one household, Luzon will have to pay 200,000 yuan to the court. And Luzon now has a population of about 300,000 yuan. Even if only 200,000 yuan of immigrants settled, it will be at least a large sum of 60,000 yuan! "

Xu Jingzong smiled, "It is said that Mr. Wei is rich enough to rival a country. Luzon produces a lot of gold and silver. I heard that he can produce thousands of taels of gold in a day, and it is not difficult for Mr. Wei to produce six or seven million coins, right?"

"Six or seven million may not be much, but the problem is that Luzon will definitely need more immigration in the future. If this matter is set, it will be difficult for Luzon to immigrate again in the future. One household has two or three hundred trump cards. This is only the money paid to the court. These people have to settle the house and travel expenses. When they get there, they have to share the land and give land. Ten thousand households will have millions of trump cards. It will definitely not be able to bear it in the long run."

Li Yifu analyzed that Qin Lang must not accept the emperor's lion's words.

Qin Lang is definitely unwilling to pay such millions of chunks of money at one time, and he hopes that there will be some adjustments in the future immigration policy.

Therefore, after Qin Lang received the order of the outside world, he immediately offered 100,000 guan to the emperor. Then his nephew was named King Lu, and Qin Lang specially offered 100,000 guan to launder three coins.

But Qin Lang has never given the immigration money.

There was an emperor's order before, but now the prince is asking.

This matter must not be so confused all the time. There must be an explanation. As the prince said in the palace, it is impossible to let a national minister like Duke Wei be impeached by the officials for this trivial matter.

Generally speaking, in order to ensure the source of tax and service levy, the dynasty restricted the free population migration through the household registration system. In particular, the households in the two capitals and military prefectures are not allowed to move at will. Only when the land is narrow and the population is dense and the famine is frequent can the migration be carried out with conditions.

For example, those who have moved from Yongzhou to Kuan Township, Guanzhong, Longyou to Henan and Luoyang were all to alleviate the situation of small land and large populations and insufficient land. Since Zhenguan, Guanzhong, Henan, Hebei, Hedong, and Huainan, and other densely populated areas, they have been constantly immigrating to all sides, and this is also the policy.

After the implementation of the new law on the two taxes, the court actually had much less personal constraints on the people, because the taxation targets were mainly land and industrial and commercial taxes, and the tax was distributed to acres, and the money was used to pay for the servitude and the acres were paid for the servitude. These all caused the court to relax some control over immigration.

Even the imperial court continued to implement the method of recruiting customers and floating tourists in the border areas, recruiting immigrants to guard the border and settle the border, and the mandatory exile of border prefectures and exiles.

Qin Lang used this method of recruiting immigrants to develop his fiefdom in Wu'anzhou, and he also implemented this method in Luzon.

But the problem now is that the court has designated Luzon as an external title, similar to the Zhenbei Grand Governor's Office, which was just established by the imperial court, or the restricted prefectures such as the Yaochi Governor's Office in the Western Regions, the Tocharian Governor's Office.

Although the external seal is somewhat different than the purely banished states, for example, the banished states do not actually enter the household registration territory and do not collect taxes and responsibilities. The external seal is like the inner seal, and the registered land is included in the court and taxes are also required, but the tax amount is different.
