Li Ke hummed a song and leisurely came to Liangyi Palace. He asked the young eunuch on duty and said that Li Shimin was discussing state affairs with the ministers.
Li Ke touched his chin, thought for a long time, and then said: "Go and report it, and say that I have sent him a knife."
It just so happened that a few big guys were here, so I simply explained the matter clearly to prevent some people from making random comments, and to pave the way for the next step.
The newspaper is just an introduction. There is no intention to make money from the newspaper, let alone control the world's public opinion.
He doesn't want to rebel, so why control the world's public opinion?
What's more, paper manufacturing, movable type printing and other technologies are in his hands. Even if Li Shimin takes back the right to manufacture newspapers, what will happen?
In fact, what he wants to do is in the postal industry. There are eight vajras at the moment.
Once the postal industry, taking advantage of newspapers, takes root across the country, even the logistics of national wars will be solved for you.
Moreover, it can also bring down a number of wealthy families who rely on transportation to make a fortune.
If the transportation industry is in his hands, the five surnames and Qiwang can only stare blankly, let alone the prince and the king of Yue.
Li Shimin had to come to ask him for help. M.biQuge.biZ
But to establish postal transportation, we must rely on the imperial court. It requires the joint decision-making of the three provinces and the decision of his father. After all, the delivery of letters is still managed by the imperial department.
Therefore, the newspaper could only become a victim, but before the sacrifice, he did not mind cheating the prince and the king of Yue.
I want you to dance?
In the Liangyi Palace.
After careful consideration, Fang Xuanling finally said: "Your Majesty, I think it is most appropriate to use work as relief. The imperial court will provide a sum of money to plan the villages outside Chang'an City."
"As for their future lives, let the workshops in the city be relocated outside the city and let them work in the workshops."
Li Shimin frowned. The method was a good one, but it was not advisable.
"Fang Aiqing, now Chang'an City is prosperous, and it still attracts people from all over the country, and even foreign businessmen, who come to live there. It is a bottomless pit. The court does not have that much money, and there is not that much land outside Chang'an City."
Fang Xuanling bowed and resigned. He also knew that this method could only solve the current problem, but he had no other way to solve it.
Changsun Wuji stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if it doesn't work, we will select the young and strong and let them serve in the military. The court will allocate land to their families and let them live near Chang'an City."
"As for those who are widowed and lonely, the imperial court can only provide relief food, and the nobles of Chang'an City can also absorb some refugees to work in the house."
"Especially the Prince of Shu's Palace. I heard that the wages paid to workers by the Prince of Shu are pretty good. The Palace of the Prince of Shu should be able to absorb many widows and widowers..."
Li Jing glanced at Changsun Wuji and said: "Your Majesty, although I don't have a better way, I think Duke Zhao's proposal is not advisable."
Changsun Wuji said: "Dai Gong, why?"
"It's okay to recruit young men and women into the army and give them land, but the question is, how many widows and widowers can your government absorb?"
"Are the nobles of Chang'an City happy? You are making it difficult for His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, according to statistics, widows and widowers account for one-third of the total number of refugees, which means there are more than 20,000 people."
"Once the court does this, refugees from surrounding states and counties, and even further states and counties will come to Chang'an... What will happen then?"
"Everyone wants to contribute to the country, but for example, Mr. Zheng, what does he need to support himself?"
Wei Zheng was just about to criticize Changsun Wuji, but Li Jing unexpectedly jumped in before he could say anything.
So, after Li Jing finished speaking, he looked at Changsun Wuji and said coldly: "Mr. Zhao, your proposal is very good. Don't propose it again in the future!"
"The method you proposed treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The court spends money and food, but in the end it cannot solve the problem. Isn't this nonsense?"
"To hold a high position, you need to have a big picture..."
Changsun Wuji was almost angry to death. Everyone was offering advice and suggestions for the sake of the country. Why did you attack him personally?
But Changsun Wuji didn't want to talk to this troll, so he shook his sleeves and returned to his seat.
But Wei Zheng didn't give up and continued: "Your Majesty, according to Duke Zhao's wishes, the court allocated land to them, but they sold it after changing hands. What will happen then?"
"Does the imperial court still want to allocate land to them?"
"According to my investigation, they came all the way here. Most of them did not suffer from disasters, but sold the fields assigned to them by the court and came to Chang'an City to pan for gold..."
“As a result, they spent all their savings and found no way to make money, so they became refugees!”
Li Shimin also had a headache, neither this nor that would work, and he had no way to cure it at the moment.
The court's land is limited!
Throughout the dynasties, land and the rise and fall of the country are closely linked. Only when farmers have enough land can the country enjoy long-term stability and prosperous times.
But with the establishment of a new dynasty, no matter how good the land policy is, it will be monopolized by the powerful over time.
Currently, the land equalization system implemented in the Tang Dynasty can effectively curb the transfer of land and promote the development of agriculture.
The premise for the existence of the equal land system is that the country must have enough fields, but there is only so much land unless... to occupy more land.
"Your Majesty, the King of Shu asked to see you. He said that he is here to bring you a knife." The little eunuch entered the hall and saw a group of big men frowning. His Majesty also had a dark face and cautiously stepped forward and whispered.
Wang De immediately scolded the young eunuch: "Your Majesty is discussing state affairs with the ministers, and he has no eyesight at all..."
"Let him in!"
Li Shimin waved his hand. He heard that his third son was here to deliver a knife. I'm afraid they had connected in the past few days and came to give him a way to clean up the wealthy family.
"My dear friends, since none of you can think of a good solution, let this matter be put on hold for the time being. We will solve the refugee problem after we have a fundamental solution."
After all, the refugees outside Chang'an City have not yet endangered Jiangshan Sheji, but some vicious incidents have occurred, so patrols will be temporarily increased.
"The ministers will go to work first, and we will discuss it in a few days, or make a deal."
"We take our leave!" The ministers bowed and said helplessly.
When Li Ke entered the hall, he saw several big guys coming out. This is not okay!
It's not easy for everyone to get together.
You still have to take the blame for me!
"My lords, please stay!" Li Ke immediately bowed and saluted.
"We have met the King of Shu."
Although they really didn't want to see this King of Shu, they would always bow to him when they saw him.
It's just that they don't understand why the King of Shu wants to stop them?
Everyone turned to look at Li Shimin who was sitting behind the table. Li Ke quickly stepped forward, bowed and smiled: "I have seen my father! My father is safe!"
Li Shimin glared at Li Ke, "Why don't you kneel down to me?"
But this time the third child didn't make a mistake. If you don't want to kneel, don't kneel!
This little bastard, in his mind, if he doesn't make a mistake, he has made a meritorious deed.
"Why...why do you want all my dear friends to stay?"
Li Ke cupped his hands and said: "Father, I have a major matter that needs to be discussed by all the ministers, and then you will make the decision."
Li Shimin didn't know what his son was trying to do, but looking at his seriousness, once this kid became serious, it would definitely be a major matter for the country and the country.
"My dear friends, please come back first!"
Changsun Wuji suddenly felt a little uneasy. He had told the King of Shu to absorb a group of refugees. Could it be that this kid heard it?
Alas, Li Jing's daughter has not yet married the King of Shu, and Li Jing has begun to speak for the King of Shu. It seems that Li Jing is already on the side of the King of Shu.
He secretly glanced at the King of Shu. The King of Shu was actually looking at him and showed him a long-lost smile. But why was that smile so sinister?
"If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly. The ministers have to go on business!"
"I'm not idle either!"
Li Ke coughed, cupped his hands towards everyone, and said with a smile: "You must have seen Datang Daily this morning!"
"Yes, that's what I did!"
Then, he smiled at Li Shimin and said, "Father, that is the sword that my son gave you!"
