Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Ke looked at them, then stood up straight, then bowed to everyone and said: "The next thing I want to say may be sorry to you uncles and aunts, but I have to say this, I have to do this too."

Li Yuanchang and the others were a little stunned, but after what they said before, they would naturally not regret it at this time. Besides, didn't you listen to what Li Ke said?He has to do this, whether he listens or not, the other party has to do it, then he must listen.

"Throughout the history of China, from the recorded Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to today's Tang Dynasty, the enfeoffment system of the Zhou Dynasty led to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods that lasted 540 years, and then Qin Shihuang unified China, and finally In the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, Guozuo, until the Tang Dynasty, there was a problem in all dynasties, and that was the national power consumed by the clan."

"You uncles and aunts are all educated people. You should know very well that according to the system of the clan, the population of the clan will be in one or two hundred years after the Tang Dynasty, and such a large population of the clan will inevitably make the imperial court suffer. It is a huge burden, and this burden will affect the national power of the entire Tang Dynasty."

"When the time comes, once the imperial court can't afford such a large clan population, the treatment of the clan will inevitably drop sharply, and as a result of the sharp drop, these clans will wake up from the glory and wealth they enjoyed in the past, and they will definitely not be able to accept this gap. The so-called transition from frugality to extravagance is easy, but from extravagance to frugality is difficult."

"At this time, some people will take the risk."

"It's like your uncles and aunts still have the aura and majesty of being the royal family of the Tang Dynasty at this time, but in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, the children of the clan who have been corrupted by enjoyment no longer have this kind of aura, and they don't care about it at all. , only care about enjoyment.”

"If you can't keep up with the enjoyment, some people will have crooked thoughts. At this time, the world will inevitably be in chaos because of these people."

"These things, the past history has told us, so our Tang Dynasty wants to become a longer dynasty, and we want to change this situation completely. All uncles and aunts want to become the most glorious generation of the Tang Dynasty in history. Clan members, the reform of the clan must be done."

"Uncles and aunts probably don't want their descendants to be so corrupt."

Li Ke said while looking at everyone's expressions.In fact, it doesn't matter if aunts are not mentioned here, because after aunts get married, their descendants are not considered clans.

But since people are there, it is natural that a bowl of water should be leveled.

"I don't know how Saburo wants to reform?" Li Yuanchang asked, but everyone was not in a hurry to express their opinions, they all wanted to see what Li Ke thought.

"Uncles and aunts, as juniors, let me ask you a question, my father gave you a lot of households, but the amount of money per year is actually not that much, but your children will definitely be in the future. It is impossible to completely inherit your titles and the number of households in the city, may you understand this?" Li Ke did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Understandable." Everyone nodded, isn't this normal?They and Li Shimin are half-brothers, but their children and Li Ke and Li Chengqian are already two generations apart, and the reward is naturally impossible to be so high.

"Then in the case of this kind of reduction, in fact, the amount of money for the number of households in the food town every year, when you think about it, is actually not much. Am I right?" Li Ke asked.

"Correct."

"Well, uncles and aunts, you don't want your descendants to become the useless clans of various dynasties, do you?" What Li Ke said was blunt.

"Of course I don't want to." Everyone answered this very simply. Who would think that their offspring would be trash?

"Then Saburo can be straightforward. I said before that the Everbright City of the Tang Dynasty was actually built for our clan. It is here that I will allocate some shops to all the clans. The shops are allocated every year. The money for this will definitely be several times the amount of money that you receive from the households in Shiyi. Therefore, the number of clan Shiyi will be cancelled. Instead, the Datang Royal Fund will be established."

Li Ke said.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they naturally had no objection, the number of households in the food town was an imaginary number in the Tang Dynasty, and it was directly converted, not for the population, but for the land.Now that he has become a promising member, there is actually no difference. There is more money. Who would say no?

"Second, cancel all future fiefdoms and other rewards of the clan, and instead launch the clan's internal assessment system."

"What does this mean?" Li Yuanchang and the others didn't quite understand.

"It's very simple, it's the imperial examination within the clan." Li Ke said lightly. "In the future, the children of my uncles must study hard since they were young. They will not receive any rewards until they reach adulthood. They will only receive a sum of pocket money from the education fund of the Tang royal family every year. This amount is not much and is enough for normal expenses. But wait until When you become an adult, you will participate in the adult assessment. You can call this fund a business."

"The adult assessment will be very strict and divided into different levels. If he is the best in the study and other aspects of the test, and even can do his own research, then he will not only get an honorary title, but also a lot of rewards from the royal family! He can use these rewards to do whatever he wants."

"But anyone who receives a reward has an obligation. As a royal, if he becomes an adult, he must contribute to the royal fund and supplement the funds he spent. I believe that as a capable royal member, no one would reject this."

"In short, let all our children and grandchildren roll in first, we will give them the best education, the best opportunities to practice, but they will also give back their ingenuity and prove themselves to be the best royal family Members, the better the person, the more resources they will receive. If you don't want to study, but just want to eat and die, then you can only be an ordinary person with no worries about food and clothing."

"This is the general framework, and the detailed rules will be further improved."

"All in all, they have enjoyed the best education since they were young. They either stand out or accept mediocrity. Of course, if you leave enough property for your offspring, the royal family doesn't care, that's your own business."

Li Ke said lightly, all of Li Ke's uncles were stunned, they naturally understood it, and it was precisely because they understood it that they knew how ruthless Li Ke's move was.

But while being ruthless, they were a little moved.The matter of learning from future generations has been almost engraved in the Chinese people since ancient times, and members of the royal family are naturally no exception. They actually don't want some waste descendants.

Li You, Li Yun, Li Zhen, and Li Shen next to him were all stupid, so, third brother, is this why Li Zhi has to do so many sets of test papers every month?
