Take the mall to Datang

"This minister is really nothing special. Instead, we can carry out a poverty alleviation plan, that is, transfer all the poorer people with poor living conditions to Donghai Prefecture. They used to have jobs, can solve food and clothing, and increase the income of Donghai Prefecture. Population, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds, and even count the living conditions of the people for Datang, and adjust and manage it when necessary.” Yuan Shan said.

Chapter 875 Public Survey

"Your idea is very good, but can the courtiers agree to such statistics?" Li Shimin said casually.

Tang Jian said from the side: "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible. This method can also reduce the oppression of the people by the aristocratic family. If the local hired labor is reduced, the wages of the people may be increased, so that the interests of the aristocratic family will be divided. .”

"Well, what you said is true, but this is a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause." Li Shimin said.

Tang Jian was not talking, he really couldn't think of a better way, but he turned his head and looked at Yuan Shan, the meaning was obvious, isn't there a smart head in front of him.

Seeing the actions of the two, Yuan Shan wondered in his heart if he was about to be tricked again.

"Your Majesty, the population of Donghai Prefecture is the key to restricting the development. I think that when there is a delay, I will publicize the situation in Donghai Prefecture, and generally want to relocate based on the principle of voluntary application. Otherwise, it will easily arouse public resentment. Moreover, I also hope that the imperial court can set up a place where the common people can respond to problems, collect and analyze and review all the opinions and suggestions of the common people, and continue to develop those that are beneficial, and promptly correct those that are bad, so as to reduce conflicts.” Yuan said. Shan took the initiative to open his mouth, and the moment he uttered it was a big move. Compared with aristocratic families, it is now a trivial matter.

Li Shimin has been thinking, in fact, the threat to him from the aristocratic family is not so great now, because a steady stream of paper has been produced, and many books of the Tang Dynasty have been circulated. There will be more books in the future, and the scope of candidates for scientific examinations will expand. , the opportunities for children from poor families to study have increased, and the court officials will definitely be replaced in a few years, so they can sleep peacefully at that time.

Li Shimin thought very well, and said: "It seems reasonable to collect the thoughts of the people."

Tang Jian was thinking, if this kind of thing is really accurate, he will be responsible.

"Lan Guogong, what you said can be put together with Donghai Prefecture's propaganda. Isn't your economic and development department able to do these things." Tang Jian said.

"Tang Shangshu, the Ministry of Economic Development is mainly responsible for economic development, commercial activities and other matters. Regarding civil matters, your Ministry of Civil Affairs should be responsible for it." Yuan Shan said directly.

Tang Jian didn't take it seriously, and immediately said: "It is indeed a matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Lord Lan is very familiar with this matter, and he is the one who proposed it. There are many things that I need to ask you for advice."

"It's easy to say, colleagues are supposed to help each other, why don't we come to my house tonight and let's have a drink and chat." Yuan Shan said with a smile.

Tang Jian's face was a bit ugly, and he hesitated. When he was talking with His Majesty in the Imperial Study Room, he even made an appointment for a wine party.

Li Shimin knew Yuan Shan's character, and he was more or less on par with Cheng Zhijie. He was talking about shamelessness, and the scene seemed embarrassing.

"Yuan Shan, Tang Jian, what are you muttering about discussing?" Li Shimin said intentionally.

Tang Jian immediately replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, I just want to ask for specific details. Whether such a place is established or not, this matter of understanding people's conditions is worth vigorously advocating."

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "You're right, Yuanshan's idea is good, and this matter will be handed over to your Ministry of Civil Affairs. Whether you want to collect public sentiments separately depends on your specific investigation situation."

"Yes, I must do a good job of investigating," Tang Jian said.

"Well, regarding the population of Donghai Prefecture, your Ministry of Civil Affairs will issue a notice tomorrow asking Bai to actively cooperate with the replacement of the land. By the way, Yuanshan, what do you think is the appropriate level for this land replacement? After all, you know Donghai Prefecture best. People, talk about your ideas." Li Shimin continued to talk about the topic and bring it to the point.

"Your Majesty, it is possible to replace the land, but is it possible to change the way that the imperial court funds the land in the hands of the people from replacement to purchase, and when they arrive in Donghai Prefecture, they can be directly incorporated into the workshop to work, and the wages are even lower than their farming. You have to earn more." Yuan Shan said.

"Repurchasing land, is it the way of Lantian County and Lanzhou City?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

At the beginning, these two places cost him a lot of brainpower, but now it seems that they are developing well. After the land is taken back, it will be planted by the public. The annual grain harvest can not only meet the needs of grain storage, but also pay taxes.

The money from the sale of the grain just supplemented the money from recycling the land, and it turned out to be more profitable. Now that Yuanshan asked him to do the same, the land that was distributed would be credited. Wouldn't it increase the court's income?

This calculation is good, it seems that it is not a loss, and the land can be rented out to collect rent, and it can generate income no matter what, and there is no need to worry about food cultivation.

Sitting down and thinking, he said: "In this way, not only will the civil and military support of the Manchu Dynasty be needed, but the key point is that a lot of money will be needed. Let me think about it."

Li Shimin did not agree immediately. In fact, this plan was not something he could agree to in a few words. Many issues were involved later, such as the opinions of the people. If the land was not replaced, would they still be willing to go to Donghai Prefecture? If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.

"If Your Majesty has nothing to do, I will leave." Yuan Shan continued.

"Retire, don't forget to make the flying artifact." Li Shimin finally reminded.

There was a black line on Yuanshan's head. Why is the focus of this attention so wrong? I thought that I was also embarrassed, so why can't I find a place where there is no one to play? Now that it's all over, people in Chang'an City are probably not calm. .

He was right, the story of Duke Lan flying to the sky has spread all over the world, and the ministers and ministers who have nothing to do are inquiring about the news. Originally, they wanted to ask the mansion to find Yuanshan, but when they inquired, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was there. They didn't show up.

The eyes of the merchants were brightened. They were not so superstitious. They knew that Lord Lan must have researched something good. A good thing that could fly in the sky had unlimited business opportunities, and the merchants had a keen sense of smell.

When Yuan Shan returned to the mansion, he saw that Li Chengqian was already waiting, and he didn't need to think about it to know that he came for the glider.

"Yuan Shan, I heard..." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes, but don't think about the glider, His Royal Highness, that thing is very complicated and you can't fly up if you want to. Your Majesty just asked me to understand the situation. I will make two other types of glider for your Majesty in the next period of time. Feitian tools, if His Royal Highness is interested, you can come and help." Yuan Shan said directly.

Li Chengqian laughed when he heard that, he likes to participate in this kind of thing the most, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

Yuan Shan looked at Li Chengqian and smiled, as if he had caught a big fish, but he didn't even have a way to get involved for free with the Military Weapons Supervisor.

"In this case, His Royal Highness, please ask someone to prepare something. I'll tell you that you need it..." Yuan Shan began to explain.

Chapter 876 Tang Jian Visits

In the next few days, Li Chengqian helped Yuan Shan. Yuan Shan told Li Shimin that the material cost for making parachutes was very expensive, and the material used was silk. It was his money.

A large amount of silk fabrics began to be processed. Yuanshan provided a design plan and combined many resources such as the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, Yuanjia Workshop, and Military Supervision. It is not simple to say that it is complicated, but it requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Li Shimin's people will not be idle. Ma He is in charge of this matter. Now that the prince is involved, he, the "supervisor", can't say anything at all, so he can only watch from the sidelines.

The matter of the parachute was left to Li Chengqian, and when it was completed, it would not be too late for him to go.

For the past few days, he has been staying at the Duke's Mansion with his family, and he has to take care of the affairs of the Yuwen Mansion, but he doesn't stop at home. Originally, he was asked to come back to take over the construction of the Tubo Trade Zone. Now Well, because of a "flying incident", he has no notice that he can go out of the street.

In the Duke's mansion, Caiyi walked into the kitchen and said, "Master, Tang Shangshu is visiting."

You don't need to think about what Tang Jian is here for. You can see that he is very interested in the public opinion survey mentioned last time. He wanted to stand up and said, "Yes, I see."

When I came to the living room and saw Tang Jian, the two greeted each other politely.

"Tang Shangshu's visit today must be something." Yuan Shan said straight to the point.

"I used to hear people say that Mr. Lan is very easy to get along with. Today, seeing him, he really deserves his reputation. He is easy to talk to and say what he has to say, which saves a lot of tongue-in-cheek. Today, I just want to ask Mr. Lan for advice on public surveys. Regarding the matter, Duke Lan seemed to know a lot about it in the imperial study last time, and I hope he can give you some advice." Tang Jian is very direct, which is more in line with Yuan Shan's style, and will save effort in communication.

"To be honest, at first I just wanted to understand the wishes of the people who wanted to emigrate to Donghai Prefecture, but I didn't expect to be able to map out so many problems. Collecting, analyzing, and resolving all the matters will definitely be of great benefit to the court and His Majesty." Yuan Shan said, bluntly and without ambiguity.

"Well, what Lord Lan Guo said is reasonable, but how to do it specifically can be effective. I have sent people to investigate in various workshops, but it seems that there has been no effect these days." Tang Jian said what he had encountered. to the problem.

"It spreads among the crowd, and the collected information is complicated. This method is inappropriate." Yuan Shan said.

Yuan Shan thought for a while, and felt that what Tang Jian did was like placing a monitor in the crowd. What he collected was seen by the intelligence collectors. Not targeted at all.

"It's better to set up a special point, and the people can respond to anything, and the response problems can be classified, such as by region, such as Chang'an, Luoyang, such as by Fangjian, Hepingfang, Yonghefang, according to the classification of information, such as clothing, food, housing, etc. Questions such as usage can also be classified according to industry, such as which restaurant is delicious, which one has special characteristics, or which owner sells fake wine, not only that, but also allows the common people to supervise criminals Immediately report, etc." Yuanshan said some ways and methods that he thought of.

Tang Jian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Yes, in this way, the real problems that the people want to respond to can be recorded. It is still Lan Guogong's thoughtfulness."

"Haha, Tang Shangshu is being polite. These are all things I can think of. In fact, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to run this public interview. False information appears, and it is very complicated to check things." Yuan Shan continued.

Tang Jian didn't think too much, and after listening to it, he was secretly surprised. It is true that the matter of investigating people's sentiments is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and His Majesty's intention is very clear. You can use this to set up your eyes and ears. Essentially, you want to understand the situation , but with a different purpose.

"Well, since His Majesty has agreed to this matter, the follow-up matters will be arranged by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Lan Guogong's favor must be recorded." Tang Jian said.
