My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty - Chapter 400
These Yizhou officials who came to Chang’an with Li Yin were somewhat worried about this strange place, fearing that the old and new government systems would lead to confrontational conflicts. The establishment of a new army reassured Li Yin and his old subordinates, similar to the army In the new army, Li Yin plans to establish new institutions in the government affairs system. These institutions may not have any rights for the time being, but in the future Li Yin will gradually hand over the rights to them, and finally let them take over the government affairs of Datang.
Discussed the initial strategy with Yizhou officials. The next day, Li Yin went to the early court for the first time. In the early court, he introduced officials from Yizhou and announced the construction of a new army and new government agencies. The old system remained the same. This made the officialdom in Chang’an, which had been noisy for three months, finally calm down, and they would not have thought that Li Yin was using a method of boiling frogs in warm water to slowly end the old system, and when they discovered this, they You will have to accept your fate.
In addition to making efforts in the officialdom, Li Yin also made arrangements in the civil society step by step. The principle of winning the hearts of the people is feasible in any era. A series of policies such as reducing taxes, exempting labor, and free schooling began to be implemented in Datang. Now, the people of Datang have known about Yizhou’s various preferential policies through word of mouth, and now that these policies have come to them, they are all grateful to the prince Li Yin.
Of course, Li Yin’s policy of neither increasing income nor reducing expenditure was strongly opposed by Chang’an officials as soon as it was promulgated, thinking that Li Yin was a policy of subjugation, but now Li Yin is sitting on the wealth of the world, and his warehouse in Yizhou Gold and silver are piled up like mountains, and the funds flowing in the bank are enough for Datang’s agricultural taxes for more than ten years, plus the income that Somalia keeps bringing him. How could he care about the ridiculous opposition of these officials. When Shangguanyi revealed Yizhou’s fiscal revenue for one year, these officials collectively shut up, and then the officials were pleasantly surprised that Li Yin raised their monthly salaries, which was the case in the past. The monthly salary of officials is mainly composed of three parts. The first is naturally copper coins, and the next two are rice and silk cloth. But now that the textile industry and agriculture are developed in Yizhou, the depreciation of these two things is too great, especially Silk cloth. It’s like it can’t be compared with copper coins at all.
Officials did not object to this policy. The common people have the strength to oppose it. If their own monthly salary has risen, they would be fools not to want it. After enjoying the benefits brought by Li Yin’s supervision of the country, more and more officials turned to Li Yin. This side. After all, people are driven by profit, and they will follow whoever the ruler can bring them more benefits.
However, although most of the policies introduced by Li Yin have been approved, there are still many policies that have been strongly opposed, and the most quarreling is the issue of schools. Soon after Li Yin came to power, various branch schools in Chang’an began to accept students, but Then came the problem, the ministers objected that the children of poor families and the children of the rich and powerful should study in the same school. And in less than a month, there were several incidents in the school where the rich and powerful children bullied the poor, which made Li Yin very angry.
“Dissuade all those powerful children who beat others to leave. Those who hurt others should be dealt with as they should be dealt with according to the criminal law.” Li Yin was quite annoyed after reviewing the memorial handed over by Wuhou Pavilion.
Su Mo’er was holding Li Yin’s shoulders behind Li Yin. After the Chang’an branch school was put into use, she moved to Taiji Palace with Cui Yingying, Liu Yanyu and others. Cui Yingying lived in the former Yanxi Palace, and Su Moer lived in Concubine Yang In the former Ziyun Pavilion, Liu Yanyu lived in Ningyun Pavilion. Sizi and the three princes also returned to Chang’an, because they are not young anymore. Li Shimin asked them to open their own mansions, and only Sizi still lived in Daming Palace. After returning to Chang’an, the four of them continued to go to school, and at the same time, there were many noble children who had gone to Yizhou to study.
Su Mo’er looked helpless, and said softly: “Your Highness calm down, don’t get angry, it’s not worth it, I’ll let Marquis Wu handle this right away, but what about the ministers who are kneeling outside the Taiji Palace? “
“It’s unreasonable to let them continue to kneel if they like to kneel, these old stubborn people.” Li Yin scolded. After Li Yin firmly refused to separate the children of poor families from the children of rich and powerful, a group of ministers knelt outside the Tai Chi Palace, Said that if Li Yin disagreed, they would not be able to kneel down.
Su Mo’er snorted lightly and said, “They should be punished a bit. How dare you threaten His Highness like this? It’s too hateful.”
Li Yin has read a lot of history books in recent years. Such tricks are not rare in history, but can be found everywhere. On the surface, it seems to be different opinions on a certain decision, but in fact it is a dispute between the monarchy and ministers. If Yin concedes at this time, then there will be waves of such good shows in the future, so even if Li Yin’s decision is wrong, he will not back down, let alone he is not wrong.
Making up his mind to ignore these ministers, Li Yin thought about the matter of Marquis Wu, and said to Su Moer: “This Marquis Wu is the same as the new army, try to recruit new personnel, don’t make any mistakes, for the sake of safety, Marquis Wu of Chang’an will Instead of distributing firearms like in Yizhou, we only use the Wuhou equipment eliminated in Yizhou, so as to avoid some unnecessary troubles.”
Su Morer nodded slightly.
The two were talking when an **** came in and said that it was Wang Yinlong who asked to see him.
Su Mo’er showed an unhappy expression. It was rare for her to get tired of being with Li Yin, so she wanted to spend more time with Li Yin, but Wang Yinlong came, so she had to leave.
Li Yin grabbed Su Mo’er and said, “Wait a while, there are still things that you and Wang Yinlong need to handle together.”
Just as he was talking, Wang Yinlong rushed in suddenly, took a few quick steps and threw himself on the ground, crying loudly: “Your Highness, you have to decide for the old minister.”
Li Yan looked at Wang Yinlong lying on the ground and frowned, “What’s the matter? It’s not proper to cry like this!”
Wang Yinlong raised his head, his eyes were black and his nose was red, and his appearance was even funny. When Su Moer saw him, he burst out laughing.
“Your Highness, that Xiao Yu is relying on the old to sell the old. The minister said a few words just now at the gate of the Taiji Palace for the sake of poor scholars. Then Xiao Yu led some officials to beat people. Your Highness, look.” Wang Yinlong pointed His dark eye sockets looked miserable.
Wang Yinlong’s character, Li Min, is very clear, his eyes can’t be rubbed with sand, and the most taboo is that others look down on people from poor backgrounds, but in Chang’an, it is because of his background that the officials in Chang’an don’t say it on the surface, but on the inside. However, there are many people who look down on him, and he is very annoyed because of this, so in the matter of school, he and the group led by Xiao Yu are at odds with each other, and there have been several quarrels in the morning, in order to argue in one breath.
Li Yin looked at Wang Yinlong and said nothing, and Wang Yinlong looked at Li Yin eagerly, but the more he looked at Li Yin, the more he felt guilty. As the saying goes, honest people have two bad intentions, and he was beaten this time. Xiao Yu’s reasons, part of the reasons are also his own. He saw that Xiao Yu had annoyed Li Yin in this matter, and deliberately added fuel to the fire.
Although Xiao Yu is pedantic, he is a well-known Confucian in the Tang Dynasty after all. He still can’t do it. Wang Yinlong is his confidant, but Li Yin will not be blindly deceived. He said: “I know Yes, I will deal with this matter seriously if I find out the truth about it. You came just in time. The Overwatch Council should be established as soon as possible, and the trial of the case should be taken from the hands of the governor and the county magistrate. This professional matter still needs to be professional Let people do it, Su Morer, please cooperate to establish a cooperation mechanism between the Overwatch Council and Marquis Wu, and with the three things in hand, we can deal with those who do not abide by the law.”
Wang Yinlong thought that Li Yin would be furious, but he didn’t expect that Li Yin seemed to know everything in his chest, which made him feel more guilty, got up from the ground, bowed and said: “Yes, Your Highness, this time the minister is here to talk about it.”
“Well, since Su Morer is here, you can discuss it together. I’m a little tired and want to rest for a while.” Li Yin stood up and stretched.
Wang Yinlong opened his mouth to say something, but he didn’t say anything, and left with a bowed body. Seeing Wang Yinlong frowning in thought, Su Mo’er said, “Old Wang Ge, His Highness is no longer the one who just arrived in Yizhou. Keep it from him.” After saying that, he turned and left with a smile on his face.
Wang Yinlong showed a wry smile, thinking that his beating would be in vain, just now at the gate of Tai Chi Palace, he was the one who deliberately spoke rudely, he learned that Xiao Yu hated others to call him a farmer, so he quarreled with him in three words He cursed, “Old Shangguange, old Shangguange, you killed me.” Wang Yinlong shook his head.
