"I think the Taiji Palace should be an asset of the Tang Dynasty, that is, it belongs to the treasury. As for the Daming Palace, it should be classified as the private property of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, because the reform has just begun, in the future the Ming Dynasty will The continued construction of the palace will be funded by the royal family itself, and the Tang treasury will not care about it." Li Ke thought for a while and gave an answer.
The Taiji Palace was taken from the hands of the previous dynasty, which belongs to the Tang Dynasty, while the Daming Palace was gradually built by Li Shimin after the Tang Dynasty was established. In fact, the Daming Palace was originally built for Li Yuan, but Li Yuan passed away after only part of the construction was completed. Now the Daming Palace has not been completely completed.
Therefore, the Daming Palace must be built. Since it must be built, these subsequent assets must be separated.
"Okay." Li Yan nodded seriously and said.
"What about the furniture, antiques and other assets in the palace?" Li Yan asked again.
Li Ke: "..."
For the first time, he was left speechless by his future wife. He looked at Li Yan helplessly and said: "I say, wife, please leave something for your future father-in-law, otherwise he will be angry. He will be unlucky if he is angry." it's me."
Li Yan's face turned red because of Li Ke's "daughter-in-law" sentence, and her originally very clear brain instantly turned into mush, and she couldn't remember what she had just wanted to say.
All he could do was give a feeble "hmm", which was regarded as an agreement.
After waiting for a while and barely allowing her IQ to recover, Li Yan said: "The problem is, since Your Highness you want to reform the royal family and the court in the future, and His Majesty's food and clothing expenses will be borne by the Tang Dynasty court. If provided, then these items must be clearly separated.”
"Okay... okay, what's your idea now?" Li Ke just proposed an idea before, and he left the specific execution to Li Yan. Anyway, Datang Trust actually has a lot of money, and Li Shimin also has a lot of money in his own small treasury. Li Ke can share some funds with his father, so it won't be a problem.
The implementation of these things in the future will definitely begin with the second emperor.
I'm sorry, brother, I want to be a good person.
Pooh! I'm sorry, brother, but you don't want the descendants of the Tang Dynasty to be corrupted, so you should follow this strategy properly.
At present, the assets of Datang Trust do not need to be increased by Li Ke. They only need to continue to invest in some of Datang's next industries in the current way, which is enough to support N royal families, but the consumption of the royal family must be controlled.
This kind of control did not allow the emperor to participate. Then the Tang court was responsible for all the emperor's expenses, and there were certain standards. This prevented the emperor from participating in the Tang trust.
As for the remaining clans and so on, Li Ke believes that the emperors who follow are not fools. The most important thing is to know that the trust is run correctly.
"I think the Tang Dynasty court is responsible for the normal food and clothing expenses of the emperor, the queen and the fourth concubine according to a standard. In addition, other Jieyu, talents, etc. are the responsibility of the emperor's own private treasury, or these Jieyu It’s okay for Yucai people to look forward to the monthly benefits distributed by Datang Trust. Of course, the princes, princesses and other Datang court only have basic food and clothing expenses.”
"As for the specific execution time, of course it is up to you, Your Highness."
"In this way, once the rules are established, the subsequent matters will be easier to deal with. As for the assets, the food and clothing in the palace are of no use to your majesty. They should be returned to the Tang Dynasty, such as silk, clothes, The jewelry and so on can belong to His Majesty himself, and as for those Zhuangzi in Chang'an City, of course it belongs to them." Li Yan quickly said everything she had thought about.
Li Ke glanced at his wife with a strange look on her face. She was very good and had thought very carefully.
"Your Highness, what do you think?" Li Yan raised her head and looked at Li Ke and asked.
"I think it's no problem." Li Ke thought for a while, and there was no big problem. It seemed outrageous, but in fact, it had little impact.
First of all, the Tang Dynasty court was responsible for the food and clothing of the emperor and his concubines. This is basically what the current court is responsible for, so there is no big problem. Regardless of who the Daming Palace belongs to, since it is the residence of the emperor, it is a nominal issue. .
As for some other things, it is beneficial to Li Shimin, that is, Li Shimin's own private property. He can spend it as he wants without considering the thoughts of the officials of the Tang Dynasty and ordinary people.
Another advantage of this kind of property division is that it lays the foundation for the future changes in the status of maids, eunuchs, etc. in the palace and the payment of their monthly money.
Because of this division, a considerable part of the palace maids and eunuchs were employed by the imperial court, while the other personal servants were employed by the Tang royal family themselves.
"That's it, I'll write a note and I'll bring it up at the next court meeting." Li Yan nodded and said simply.
Li Ke has no objection, but... Li Yan really has the courage to bring it up, which is awesome. She is worthy of being my wife.
Of course, this is what Li Yan is doing. The central bank is responsible for managing the treasury, and the things in the treasury must be divided. Now that it has been done, it is better to do it all at once, otherwise there will be more trouble in the future.
Because the fiscal revenue of the Tang Dynasty will definitely continue to increase in the future. At that time, what should be given to the royal family? So, just go ahead and split it now.
Li Ke had discussed this matter with Li Shimin a long time ago. Although the specific details were not discussed, Li Shimin knew about it, so it would not be too abrupt for Li Yan to bring it up.
After discussing with Li Ke, Li Yan quickly wrote a memorial. Li Yan's first court meeting happened to be two days later. The Central Bank before this court meeting was not actually officially started to work. During this period, the Central Bank was mobilizing More officials took up their positions and then became familiar with their offices.
The official work must be after this court meeting. Li Yan went to court for the first time and got to know the ministers in the court. During this time, everyone had only heard about them but not seen them yet. Now that we have met, we will see them later. It is naturally more convenient to work.
In the early morning, Li Yan, dressed in court uniform, appeared outside Xuanwu Gate. After seeing Fang Xuanling and the others, Li Yan naturally said hello to them, and then, under Fang Xuanling's introduction, she met all the surrounding ministers. .
To be honest, the ministers who had never seen Li Yan looked curious. After all, no one could directly equate the seventeen-year-old lady and a third-rank official before today, but today everyone has seen it. .
No matter what they think in their hearts, at least on the surface, they have all the necessary etiquette.
As for the heart, regardless of deeds, no one knows what is going on in other people's hearts.
