Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shenzhen was thrown out the door and sat on the ground.

After standing up, Li Shen walked down the steps, looked back at Liangyi Hall, and then pointed at the two guards and said:

"You wait for me, my king."

After that, he shouted to the hall: "Too stingy, they are so stingy, they don't even provide a meal, what's the point of having so much money.

You really don't know how to enjoy life, huh, you're so stingy."

"What did you say!!" Just as Li Shen finished speaking, Li Shimin's angry roar was heard in the hall.

"Emma, ​​I heard it." Li Shen turned around and ran after hearing the voice, using all his strength.

In the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin had already brought Li Chengqian to the study.

At this time, Li An walked in from outside.

"That bastard is gone?" Li Shimin didn't chase him at all, but just shouted in the hall, which scared Li Shen out of his wits.

Or it could be described as terrified.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji ran away, and he ran very fast." Li An replied expressionlessly.

"Run away? Hahaha." Li Shimin laughed heartily.

Li Chengqian also laughed along.

After laughing for a while, Li Shimin stopped and looked at Li Chengqian.

"Gao Ming, you see, I have said long ago that this rebellious son has many strange ideas in his head.

It's just that I'm too lazy on weekdays and only know how to enjoy myself, so I don't want to talk about it.

Look at what he said today, although many of them need to be discussed, they are all feasible after being perfected."

"What Aye said is not as good as what Tenth Brother said. His views are very unique and can be said to be unprecedented."

Li Chengqian also sincerely admitted that Li Shen's ideas were indeed more than his.

Some of the things Li Shen said just now did have many flaws, but as long as he discussed it with the ministers and improved many details, it would become a feasible policy.

Li Chengqian believed that the reason for the shortcomings was that Li Shen was not in the court. Little did he know that it was because Li Shen was not good at government affairs.

He only knows the end point and only the general idea of ​​the process.

Li Shen is a person who only pays attention to results. Because of his memories from his previous life, he doesn't care about the process other than watching movies.

"Gao Ming, don't underestimate yourself. When it comes to state affairs, you are much better than Lao Shi.

It’s just that some of Lao Shi’s ideas are more novel.

In fact, some of them are not without traces, but the methods recorded in history books were modified by Lao Shi.

For example, regarding childbirth, our ancestors had similar methods, but they were not used for childbirth.

Gao Ming, Lao Shi is right, sometimes we can't stick to the rules and need to be flexible. "

Li Shimin still knew Li Shen a little bit. Li Shen had never cared about state affairs, let alone political affairs.

"Yes, thank you for your teachings, Aye." Li Chengqian really benefited a lot today, although it had little to do with what he was about to do.

But it was also an eye-opener, especially since his father and brother had been planning things in other countries.

He could see that his father actually knew some things about Li Shen, but he just didn't know the details.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction:

"Well, you don't have to worry about other things. Right now, the affairs of the court are more important.

Tomorrow you will discuss the matter of recording births with the three provinces and six ministries.

Look at the reaction of the court officials. This method is actually not bad and can also reduce the burden on the people.

Lao Shi said that he hoped that in the future the Tang Dynasty would collect taxes from the people instead of turning them into commercial taxes.

It seems feasible now. Fourteen million strings of cash a year is enough to offset our annual taxes.

By then we can buy food from the people, and they can also get some income.”

"Yes, I will discuss this with the court officials tomorrow and come up with a set of rules as soon as possible."

Li Chengqian also thought this was a good idea. A large population is naturally a good thing.

"Alas, what the Tenth Master said to me ten years ago is now coming true bit by bit."

Thinking of some of the things Li Shen had said to him back then, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Li Shen said that collecting commercial taxes to offset agricultural taxes was not feasible because merchants basically did not pay taxes.

But now it is 1,400 strings of cash a year, which is more than all the rents and commissions collected by the court combined.

Li Shen said that as long as the people were well fed and clothed, they would not rebel, and now the Tang Dynasty had more food than it could eat.

The cotton production increased year by year, and Li Shen's kang and stove also solved the problem of the cold in the north.

Li Shimin was the first beneficiary. He lived a hard life with less than 30,000 strings of cash in the treasury. Even the empress had to weave cloth to subsidize the palace expenses.

By now, the treasury had a huge sum of more than 20 million strings of cash, with fine clothes, delicious food, wine and delicacies, and he could spend it however he wanted.

It's like a dream.

"By the way, Aye, about the matter of Japan..." Li Chengqian suddenly remembered what Li Shen was going to do.

Li Shimin said indifferently:

"You can do this. You can issue an imperial decree, saying that in order to allow Japan to better communicate with the Tang Dynasty,

Ask them for a piece of land, the place that Lao Shi mentioned.

Just give them some random rewards and tell them that King Ji has built an academy there, so they don't have to travel thousands of miles to study there.

Oh, by the way, if you want a few more words, just say that Prince Ji likes fishing."

Li Shimin said it casually, he didn't take Japan seriously at all.

In his view, as the Heavenly Khan, asking them for some land was a favor to them.

He had heard from Li Shen that their king actually dared to call himself the Emperor, which sounded more powerful than himself, the Son of Heaven.

This couldn't help but make him a little angry. He was the only emperor in the world, and the others had to be kings, including the King of Goguryeo, the King of Silla, the King of Tubo, and the Western Turks.

All the vassal states in the south have kings, and the new king must be enthroned by himself to be considered legitimate.

It is so bold for a small country like Japan to dare to call itself the emperor.

"Yes, Father, I will summon the Japanese envoy tomorrow." Li Chengqian bowed and accepted the order.

Only then did Li Shimin stand up.

"Okay, the matter has come to an end, and I will return to the harem.

In a few days, I will mobilize corvée labor to repair the Luoyang Palace.

Spring is here and the flowers are blooming. I want to go out for a walk. Does Old Ten have any good places to go?"

Li Shimin walked out while playing, and Li Chengqian hurriedly followed him.

"Aye, are you going on a trip?"

"Yes, I have been in the palace all winter. I should go out and stretch my muscles."

Li Shimin walked and talked with his hands behind his back.

"Well, what you said is right, Father. After staying in the palace for several months, it's time for you to go out and have some fun." Li Chengqian nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, I will arrange everything before I leave, just focus on your duties as regent.

Even if I leave, I will take that big evil with you, so that he won't cause you any trouble.

As for the rest, it depends on you. If you encounter any problems, ask Ma Zhou and Zhangsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji's talent and wisdom are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

I used Zhangsun Wuyi to teach him a lesson, and now he should be more willing to rely on you."

Li Shimin smiled meaningfully.

(This period in Wakoku is called the Asuka period, also known as the Nara period, and the emperor in power was Emperor Kotoku.

I looked up some information and found that the history of Japan is not as good as that of Silla and Baekje.

At that time, the Japanese nation did not even have written language. Later, due to the situation of Baekje,

Chinese characters were introduced to Japan in the form of Buddhist scriptures.

In 57 AD, Emperor Guangwu bestowed the "Han Wa Nu Kingdom Seal" to the king of Wa at that time.

This was the first time they had seen written words.

The earliest history book of Japan was written in Chinese characters, and it was written during the Tang Dynasty.)
