Datang infinite pretense system

"This, I don't know, just listen to it."

Li Shimin also didn't know what Li Chengqian was going to say, after all, he wasn't him.

"This second..."

As soon as Li Chengqian spoke, everyone fell silent.

"It means that all officials in Chang'an City will be evaluated first, and the elimination system will be adopted at the end! All officials in the last tenth place will be eliminated! Either reform or demote!"

This news is undoubtedly a huge news.

But before he finished speaking, he could only hear him say again: "For the dozens of great heroes named by His Majesty, you can be exempted! Why? Because they have proved themselves with actions, and they are fighting for the entire Tang Dynasty." To work hard is to worry about His Majesty! This is for their benefit!"

In this way, people like Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and others don't have to try.

This is not a good thing for Pei Ji, after all, he has promoted countless officials, and the official relationship network he brought is very huge.

As for why Li Chengqian did this, on the one hand, it was to follow Li Shimin's rules, and on the other hand, it was to let the useless people be eliminated, and at the same time, let his own people come in. For some confidential things, why not replace them with people he trusted?

Pei Ji stood up again at this time, but was signaled by Li Chengqian not to speak yet.

I only heard Li Chengqian say: "For the sake of justice, let this matter be handled by Lai Guogong! Lai Guogong, I limit you to the assessment of all officials in Chang'an within seven days! The assessment of the officials after Chang'an within one month! Wait for the disaster. Once passed, the surrounding officials will be assessed within half a year!"

Du Ruhui came out directly and said, "Yes! Your Royal Highness, the old minister takes orders!"

Pei Ji obviously still had something to say, but he couldn't find a chance, because the matter was already a foregone conclusion.

Then Li Chengqian asked again: "That's it, is there anything else?"

Li Chengqian quickly ended the assessment.It made Pei Ji and the others extremely depressed. Why didn't they say anything, and it was over.

Li Chengqian didn't care about them and just forced them through.

At this time, Sun Qian also stood up.

"His Royal Highness, I have something to play!"

The audience was quiet, and Li Chengqian seemed to have succeeded when Sun Qian came out.Because bigger assists are coming!Just waiting for Sun Qian.

Chapter 228 Attack on Salt (Fourth)

Li Chengqian gave Sun Qian a satisfied expression, because it was time for them to perform next.

Sure enough, Sun Qian said: "Report to His Royal Highness, I have something to play!"

"Sun Shangshu, what are you talking about?"

"About Datang Salt."

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials were shocked. Because of the matter of salt, Li Shimin didn't dare to deal with it directly, but Sun Qian actually brought it up on his own initiative.

What exactly is this going to do?Why didn't Li Shimin mention it before he fainted?Such intentions made people like Zhang Liang, Pei Ji and others know it well, so no matter what Sun Qian said, they would come out to oppose it.

On Li Chengqian's side, the reason why he attacked Yan was nothing more than two reasons. The first one to bear the brunt was the Wang family. The Wang and Cui families actually joined forces with Changsun Wuji to attack his Fengtang business. So sorry, I will also treat you It is also Li Shimin's heart to start with the salt.

The second reason is that at least some officials can be caught from the salt bar, because he doesn't believe that there is no one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty who is not related to the Wang family. Make it for Li Shimin, make it for the ministers, and make it for the Wang family!

"Sun Shangshu, tell me, what is this salt?"

"His Royal Highness, when the Household Department purchased salt from the imperial city some time ago, they found that the quality of the salt was uneven. It seriously affected the consumption of the palace, and the price was not low. They dared to provide salt of such quality to the imperial court, which shows that they gave it to the imperial court. The common people are only bad! So I think that the salt is better for the official camp!"

At this time, the Tang Dynasty did not participate in the sale of salt and produced salt, but handed it over to the Wang family.

When Sun Qian said this, everyone in the palace exploded.

Everyone started talking,

At this time, Li Shimin was coughing constantly, Li Chengqian knew it, and he expressed that he should be cautious about this matter.If it is not done well, it will affect the stability of the whole world.

At this time, Pei Ji came out and said: "His Royal Highness, I think that it can be appropriately restricted. After all, the imperial court collects a large amount of tax burden from these salts every year! If this piece is missing, it will definitely have a great impact on the country's tax revenue."

Zhang Liang also said: "His Royal Highness, I think that if it is changed from private to official, it may have some impact on the economy!"

These two people still didn't give up. They not only told Li Chengqian, but also told Li Shimin, because they knew that talking to Li Chengqian was completely useless.After all, they are all on the opposite side, and Li Shimin can only be used to suppress Li Chengqian.

Fang Xuanling was still on Li Chengqian's side.He said: "Rice, rice, oil and salt have been needed by people since ancient times, and each item is very important. How can a country hand over such important things to the private sector? I think that the right to operate salt can be taken back."

"His Royal Highness! The minister also thought that it would be better to change the salt into an official business. In this way, the imperial court can check the quality of the salt to prevent profiteering and adulteration."

"I thought that..."

All of a sudden, all the ministers directly stood in line, and this time the line was very clear, with support and opposition divided into separate parts, and no one was neutral.After all, this matter is either private or official, there is nothing to say.

Pei Ji has no intention of giving up.

He said: "Since ancient times, the salt official camp has also been prone to corruption. I think it's better to leave it to businessmen!"

However, Fang Xuanling said: "A businessman is only looking for profit, how can he improve the quality, and in Chang'an, only the Wang family produces salt. Such a monopoly is not good for a market!"

"If we change to the official camp, our level of refining is not enough, which is equivalent to investing a lot of manpower and material resources. This seems bad for us now!"

Zhang Liang said so, what he meant was that it can’t be done now, and it can be delayed for a while, but if it is slowed down, it may be nothing. When people bring it up for the second time, they must have more reasons to refuse.

The dispute between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

Li Chengqian sat there with his eyes closed and recuperated. At this moment, he was also thinking about how to deal with it. At the same time, he also wanted these people to quarrel for a while, and then replace him when he was tired.

"Okay, that's enough! Be quiet, everyone!"

Li Chengqian finally shouted.

Everyone stopped, they didn't argue anymore, they wanted to hear what Li Chengqian had to say.

"Sun Shangshu is very concerned about what he said, so this king has decided to confiscate the entire salt official camp in Datang! From next month, it will be illegal to sell private salt!"

Why give this time, because if it is official, it will take some time to prepare.Just to give the family time to prepare and stabilize people's hearts.

When he finished speaking, Li Shimin behind the curtain couldn't sit still, because it seemed too hasty.

But Li Chengqian didn't have the chance to let Li Shimin speak.

He went on to say: "There are mainly several reasons, and everyone will naturally support me after listening to it!"

"First, for the sake of the people, so the people regard food as the sky, this salt is an important factor of food, and the foundation of my Tang Dynasty is this people! After the official operation, you can control the quality and make a good distribution!

Second, to weaken the family's influence on the imperial court. Part of the economy of the entire Tang Dynasty is controlled by the family. This salt is one of them. This Tang Dynasty is still the Tang Dynasty named Li!It is not their turn to control the lifeline of the country!

For the Tang Dynasty to be strong, the imperial court must have absolute control!In the future, you will feel that what I did today was right. "
