Datang: At the beginning, Princess Wencheng was robbed

Chapter 74
In the Hall of Liangyi.

In the afternoon of this day, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were in harmony.

After Wei Yan finished talking about my past in Tuyuhun, the situation in Tubo, and Xue Yantuo's actions, everyone gradually began to understand Wei Yan to a certain extent, and gradually cast aside some prejudices against Wei Yan.

To put it bluntly, this bragging session was actually held just for Wei Yan.

This was specially arranged by Li Er to give the officials of the Tang Dynasty a chance to get to know Wei Yan again.

As for the purpose...

I dare not say more about other things, but there is at least one thing that should be there for sure.

That is to show the ministers that my princess really did not marry for nothing.

Moreover, I married the three princesses to such courageous and resourceful young people, even if they were concubines, it should be said that not only did not damage the face of the Tang royal family, but on the contrary, it might become a kind of concubine that can be used in the future. Something to boast about.

……

"Wei Yan! What do you think of the current Tang Dynasty?"

Li Er fixed his gaze on Wei Yan.

After letting Wei Yan finish the three things, Li Er didn't seem to be satisfied, and seemed to want to prostitute Wei Yan for nothing.

If it was a private chat, then Wei Yan would definitely have asked him for a baby rhinoceros.

But now...

In front of so many people.

Wei Yan had to give him some face.

Then he said: "The Tang Dynasty is very strong. I don't just mean fighting, but all aspects, including clothing, food, housing, transportation, system and even morality, are stronger than the surrounding nomadic tribes by more than 01:30 points. "

Everyone listened carefully.

"But Datang also has a very big shortcoming."

"What shortcoming?" Li Er asked.

Wei Yan: "The shortcoming is that even though the Tang Dynasty is already so powerful, it cannot really own the whole world."

This reminded Li Er of that world map.

Wei Yan continued: "It's said that the whole world is the land of the king. But in fact, let's not talk about Goguryeo. From ancient times to the present, the grassland has never belonged to us."

"Maybe it's a little unrealistic for me to say that."

"However, I still hope that the Tang Dynasty can have a little more pioneering spirit than other dynasties. Instead of waiting for death step by step in the prosperous and prosperous age."

"Everyone here think, why did a dynasty die?"

Those present here are all people who have read history books and classics. If you ask them to say it, they can certainly give many different answers.

But today, Wei Yan had to give a different answer.

"I think the reason why a dynasty died is very simple, the land is not enough."

"The people lost their land and couldn't survive, so they naturally rebelled."

"I guess, all of you here have a lot of land in your house. There are even some who feel that they don't have enough land."

"I just want to say, if possible, give the people a way to survive."

"Of course, I know it's impossible. Because I have so much wealth in my hands, I have to spend it."

"Where to spend it, it must be spent in a place where you can continue to earn money. Then buying land is a very good way to spend money."

"Even, in the end, I can continue to increase my wealth."

"Everyone here is an important minister in the court. I believe that you don't want Datang to fall one day."

"Because Datang is down, it won't do you any good."

"Let's make an assumption. Let's assume that Datang had 100 yuan of land at the beginning. Now, you people have divided 20 yuan, and the common people still have 80 yuan in their hands."

"Then, let's assume that every 20 years, you will buy or snatch 20 yuan of land from the people. Some people even have to sell themselves to your house in order to survive. Slaves."

"Then the question is, how many years later will Datang die."

"And you have to know that it is impossible for the common people to buy back the land from you."

"Chang'an City, now there is land, and how many people are there in each household with more than [-] mu?"

"According to my speculation, if this continues, Datang will not live for 300 years."

"..."

can only say……

Wei Yan really dared to say it.

Then Wei Yan said something even more astonishing.

"At that time, it will be you, it will be you, or you will replace Li Tang."

This is so outrageous.

Just a direct roll call, Li Tang replaced Tai Sui in the same way at the beginning.

Wei Yan said: "Actually, those natural and man-made disasters, tyrants and so on are just appearances. As long as the people are gone, the Tang Dynasty will end sooner or later."

"..."

Is this person crazy!

Is it possible to say such things casually?

Changsun Wuji couldn't stand it anymore, "Wei Yan, don't talk nonsense."

"Whether I am talking nonsense, everyone knows in their hearts."

"Isn't there a saying in the "Hanshu" that the rich are connected with fields, and the poor have no place to stand."

"You think it's accidental? No! It's actually inevitable."

"..."

While everyone was listening, it was already silent.

Aside from those rebellious remarks, Wei Yan's words, if you think about it carefully, still have some truth.

Especially for the Minister of the Household Department, and even a prime minister like Fang Xuanling.

Don't they see the problem?

They can actually see it.

only……

What's the use of that?

If you don't buy good land, others will.

If you had some wealth in your hand, wouldn't you use it to buy land?
This is not!

Fang Xuanling was kind-hearted.

Suddenly asked Wei Yan: "Then according to what you said, what should I do?"

The question has already been raised by Wei Yan, so they can't continue to pretend that they don't know.

Wei Yan said quickly: "It's very simple, the land is not enough, so naturally we should expand this land, this is one, and the other... I'm afraid that speaking out will damage everyone's interests. Be a human being and keep a line, so you can get along well in the future." See."

"..."

Everyone seems to know what Wei Yan wants to say, nothing more than that you can no longer buy land.

However, Wei Yan was actually more ruthless than they thought.

"I, the tax bureau, bring the money."

If it was another time traveler who dared to say such a thing, he would die on Suzaku Street tomorrow, but Wei Yan was not afraid, and he was always so reckless.After all, what Grandpa fears the most is death.

I'm not afraid of Li Er trying to kill me.

You count a ball.

In fact, the atmosphere in the early Tang Dynasty was relatively good.

After all, almost all of them are founding fathers, and everyone knows that it is not easy to lay down the current family fortune.At the same time, the mind has not been completely corroded by the extravagant life.Therefore, in the face of Wei Yan's words, the reaction may not be too intense.

Instead, think about it seriously.

But if it is like the Song Dynasty, like Song Renzong.Those officials will ask you whether the sage ruled the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, or with the common people.

If the saint is disobedient, believe it or not, your imperial decree will not be able to leave the palace.

On this day, Wei Yan said some terrible things.

　A family member passed away. I have been busy since last night. Sorry for the late update.By the way, please beg for follow-up, recommendation tickets, thank you everyone.
