Don't be a prince

Zhao Zian came to his senses, and said viciously: "A few days ago, the Ministry of War applied for money to build a warehouse, and you have the nerve to say that the Ministry of Households is short of money?"

Dugu Bo curled his lips and said: "It's good to have money in the household department, but you have to see how you spend it. Don't forget, those of us who are ministers can add up to [-] guan a year in salary, and there are more than a few court officials. Wan, these salaries are calculated, the profit of the household department is not enough, and part of it has to be taken from the commercial tax. Do you think the household department maintains the lifeline of the imperial court, so easy?"

Seeing Dugu Bo pouring bitter water, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It's alright, alright, I know you've worked hard, isn't this just about to give you a promotion."

Promotion?

Dugu Bo looked at the emperor in surprise, very confused.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "That's right, it's promotion. I have an idea, the system of three provinces and six ministries, it's time for a change."

Hearing what the emperor said, everyone sat up straight involuntarily.

Adjust the system of three provinces and six ministries?This is too bold.

Seeing that no one objected, Li Chengqian continued: "First of all, the three provinces are merged into one. The chief officials of the three provinces are of the same rank, and the three provinces are still independent of each other. The Ministry of Households is promoted to be in line with the three provinces, and it is in charge of the court's finances. The Ministry of War is promoted to be in line with the three provinces. In charge of the world's soldiers and horses. The rest of the bureaucracy and others are still under the Ministry of Shangshu, what do you think?"

Zhao Zian and Dugu Bo looked at each other and chose to remain silent.As a minister, now that the department has promoted their status, their status will naturally rise as well.As vested interests, their best option is to keep their mouths shut.

Hearing the emperor's words, Ma Zhou and others fell into deep thought.

It is undeniable that the role of the Ministry of Household Affairs is now growing.If any place is the lifeblood of the imperial court, it must be the Ministry of Households.Where is the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty, it must be the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War.

Nowadays, the status of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War is elevated, and it should be.

After thinking clearly, Ma Zhou said, "Your Majesty is right, and I agree with you."

Zhao Yi also nodded and said, "My minister also agrees."

Although Chu Suiliang had the intention to object, seeing Ma Zhou and Zhao Yi agreeing one after another, knowing that he was alone, he also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that his idea could be implemented, Li Chengqian smiled and continued: "In addition to this idea, there is another matter related to the Ministry of Accounts and this merchant's action. From now on, all businessmen must report to the accountant The ministry must obtain the approval of the imperial court before it can operate. Otherwise, it is illegal.

In addition, the industry operated by the Ministry of Households is named as a state-owned enterprise, and experienced businessmen are invited to help manage it.At the same time, salt, iron, grain, and firewood, which are closely related to people's lives, are all included in the ranks of state-owned enterprises, and private hands are not allowed.In this way, the possibility of people being affected by business will be greatly reduced. "

Dugu Bo nodded repeatedly and said: "This is a way, I understand."

After that, everyone had a lengthy discussion on various issues of the state-owned enterprise.

Near noon, the discussion ended.

Li Chengqian did not delay them returning to their respective official offices. In fact, although he, the emperor, became more relaxed, it was the result of sharing the burden with the court officials.On a day like today's Grand Court Meeting, officials often have to be busy until late at night before returning home from get off work.

Zhao Qi didn't go into hiding, but lived in Chang'an, so he was caught by Zhao Zian not long after, and together with the leading businessmen on Wanwanshu, they were all imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The next day, Li Chengqian, who had ended the early dynasty, entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs accompanied by Han Du, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.

In fact, the prison cells of the Ministry of Punishment are often useless, because unless they are repeat offenders, ordinary prisoners are generally executed locally after being reviewed by the Criminal Division and the Ministry of Punishment.

Those prisoners who were imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment were, at the very least, criminals who committed felony crimes of killing their fathers and mothers. Such prisoners needed to be personally interrogated by the emperor to approve their execution.

Entering the prison cell of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is the signal of a felony.After hearing this signal, the leading businessmen were frightened to death, and they heard so many crying and howling voices along the way.However, to Li Chengqian's surprise, Zhao Qi, who was imprisoned in the special prison, was very calm. Even when he saw him as the emperor, he didn't show any surprise when he saluted.

Sitting on the bench in the cell, Li Chengqian asked straight to the point: "Zhao Qi, you should know why I came here."

Zhao Qi nodded, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty is a nostalgic person. At the beginning of the implementation of the new business law, Cao Min helped His Majesty a lot. Your Majesty should remember Cao Min. Moreover, Cao Min's small thoughts should be seen by His Majesty. Come out, otherwise, Cao Min and others will be reprimanded at most, and they will not be imprisoned in the prison cell of the Ministry of Punishment."

Seeing that what Zhao Qi said was reasonable and well-founded, as if he had expected this result long ago, Li Chengqian simply didn't know what to say.

"Since you know that what you have done will bring you disaster, why do you still do such a thing? Zhao Qi, you don't know the saying that when the emperor is angry, he will lay down millions of corpses? Although I have a better temper , I’m not bloodthirsty, but it’s okay to chop off hundreds of people’s heads in a fit of rage. You can also be regarded as a group of wives and concubines, with a full house of children and grandchildren, why would you do such a foolish thing?”

Zhao Qi smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty already has an idea, why do you still ask the Caomin? The Caomin can only say that this time, the Caomin is willing to die. As early as a few years ago, the Caomin was already satisfied!"

Looking at Zhao Qi's relieved smile, Li Chengqian felt a chill for no reason.This chill does not come from the weather, but from the distant south of the Five Ridges.

Li Shimin, Li Shimin, did you even count this?Because I am afraid that I will not be ruthless, I specially let Zhao Qi, a chess piece, play a role at the right time?

Although they are both emperors, Li Chengqian once again found that compared with the Supreme Emperor, he was still much worse.

However, he didn't intend to catch up with this gap, because the final gap was whether to ignore human lives, especially the lives of his own subordinates.

This is not the mentality to make a big deal, Li Chengqian is very clear, but he is not going to correct it.

Looking at Zhao Qi with a calm face, Li Chengqian sighed and said: "I have to say, this time you have exposed some people with ulterior motives among the merchants. This is a great contribution to the society. The youngest son in your family, I will save his life , when he grows up, if he becomes a man, he will enter the imperial court smoothly. This is what I can do for you."

"Zhao Qi is the person Li Shimin inserted into the business world", this idea, in fact, was born as early as the Zhenguan period.It's just that Li Chengqian has not been certified because it has no effect. Now, he finally saw the result.

Although I don't know what deal Zhao Qi made with the Supreme Emperor, or what order he got, but obviously, in Zhao Qi's opinion, it is worth dying for.

Hearing these words, Zhao Qi, who was originally indifferent, suddenly became shocked.Seeing the back of the emperor leaving, he kowtowed without hesitation, and blood stains appeared on his forehead after a few strokes.

Coming out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Li Chengqian told Han Du, "All these bosses will be executed! Confiscate their property and transfer it to the Ministry of Household Affairs. On the day of the execution, you will personally go to the scene to supervise the execution."

It was the first time I saw the emperor ordered to kill, but Han Du didn't intend to stop him.From the mouths of Ma Zhou and others, he already knew what these businessmen were going to do, and the emperor was kind enough not to destroy their entire family because of this.

Coming out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Li Chengqian did not take a carriage, but walked out of the palace at a casual pace.

Zhang Yun didn't understand what the emperor wanted to do, but he couldn't stop him.

When they reached Zhuquemen, Li Chengqian refused Qianniuwei's escort, and took Zhang Yun and Feiying out of the imperial city.

Zhuque Avenue is still so lively. As the most important place in Chang'an's geographical location, the two sides of the road on Zhuque Avenue are not much less lively than the east and west cities.

Because he was wearing a dragon robe, the appearance of Li Chengqian shocked everyone on the street.

A butcher recognized that this was indeed the emperor, and then saw that the emperor was followed by only two followers, and couldn't help but feel worried.Seeing that he still had a lot of meat stalls, he sighed and leaned over with a knife.

Seeing a vicious butcher approaching with a boning knife, Zhang Yun and Feiying were about to fight back.However, it was stopped by Li Chengqian.

The butcher took a few steps forward, held his knife upside down and cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty is out on patrol, why didn't you bring an escort? Please allow the grassroots to escort Your Majesty."

With the lead of the butcher, many people responded immediately, and took poles and the like as weapons to escort the emperor.

The emperor was surrounded by a group of armed merchants and civilians, which made Zhang Yun and Feiying very worried.But what they didn't expect was that the emperor actually had some fun in it.

Li Chengqian really enjoyed it, because he confirmed the correctness of the saying "the king treats his ministers like brothers and sisters, and the ministers treat the emperor like his heart".It's just that the target is not the emperor and officials, but the emperor and the people.

That's it, as long as the emperor is dedicated to the good of the people, he will get such a reward.The prosperity of a country is certainly the prosperity of the whole, but the whole, or a group, is composed of scattered individuals.

Business can develop, but it must develop under supervision.If it goes astray, the people of Datang will suffer first.

How could such a simple group of people be bullied by businessmen?

5 Chapter [-] The Principle of Inversion

The news that the emperor killed a group of business leaders and wanted to revise the new business law spread like wildfire.All of a sudden, the businessmen were furious.Of course, they were angry at Zhao Qi and others, and they were all living off their brains. Who doesn't know that the current emperor can't be messed with?

Zhao Qi and the others are also stupid, they dare to ask the imperial court directly for power, isn't this courting death?

Although they sympathized with their experiences, no one felt pity for them.

After confirming again that he is not a heroic emperor, and still not letting go of his respect for life, Li Chengqian's mood improved a lot.Except for a few leading businessmen who were beheaded for public display, the rest of the people in the Wanwan book were not held accountable.If these people are all cut off, I am afraid that Datang's business will immediately start to collapse.

Liu Xuanyi was the first to propose the anti-monopoly law, so Li Chengqian ordered the Ministry of Officials to directly promote Liu Xuanyi from a county magistrate in the grassland to the Huangmen servant of Menxia Province, and assist Chu Suiliang in charge of the revision of the law.And Liu Xuanyi, after receiving a secret letter from the emperor, also understood what he should do.

Anti-monopoly is necessary. An industry, or a businessman's monopoly on the market, will gain huge benefits. When the benefits are large enough, I know that the roots will be firmly planted in every corner of Datang, and it will not happen in the future. Rebellion is a strange thing.

Li Chengqian believes that the power of innovation should not be obliterated. It is precisely because of the emergence of innovation power that market competition can emerge.People are like this, building a car behind closed doors will only be self-sufficient, but only when there is competition can we make progress together.

The successful monopoly of a certain industry and a certain person will cut off this ability to innovate, resulting in a tattered quilt being given to people in the first year, and a tattered quilt that has been replaced in a tattered place in the second year.

Liu Xuanyi has fully inherited his father's talents, and has gained a firm foothold just after he came to the province.All kinds of new laws and regulations began to appear on the new business law.

Li Chengqian is not in a hurry about the revision of the new business law.Even if the antitrust law is not really settled, it doesn't matter much.With the current ability of the Tang businessman, it is not as good as Ah Wai Fei's goose.

Compared with the revision of the new law, Li Chengqian is more curious about Li Tai's aircraft research plan.

Li Tai is worthy of being a smart person. After his idea had a problem, he used his brains on the paper airplane. First, he made a wooden airplane with the same structure as the paper airplane. However, because of the wrong structure, he couldn't even glide. Instead of gliding, it fell to the ground.

Seeing that the experiment failed, Li Tai didn't show any signs of discouragement. Instead, he ordered the craftsmen to take out various other crafts that had been made, and conduct experiments one by one.

The experiment lasted for a day, and under the cliff that Li Tai used for practice, there were piles of broken wood.

After counting all kinds of data, Li Taicai said to Li Chengqian who was watching the play: "Brother Huang, I have almost caught the pattern.

First of all, an airplane must have two wings, and the wings are still rounded at the top and flat at the bottom, wide at the front and narrow at the back, similar to the wings of birds.As for the various ratios between the wings and the body of the aircraft, it has yet to be confirmed.I believe that as long as we make it correctly, at least it can glide a little distance. "

Li Chengqian, who has been on the sidelines, has seen the number of his experiments from Li Tai's repeated experiments.

Finding the correct variable data through the change of variables may be a bit wasteful compared with the combination of theoretical research and practice, but it is undoubtedly a way.

If only relying on Li Tai, it is still unlikely that the first model of the plane will appear within five years.

Li Chengqian, who has become somewhat more relaxed now, feels that he still needs to help this guy.

Patting Li Tai on the shoulder, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Qingque, you are indeed the originator of my scientific research in the Tang Dynasty. My brother has discovered more and more that you are full of shining points. The recent affairs of the government made my brother a little sad , except for some necessary memorials, there is actually not much difference between me and me in the government. That being the case, brother will spare some time to help you study airplanes."

"Really??! But..."

The majestic emperor came to do scientific research, so Li Tai didn't know what to say.Airplanes are so important, so important that he can't just say that the emperor's research on airplanes is not doing his job properly.What's more, Li Tai deeply knows how talented his brother is. If he can participate, five years is definitely enough.

Seeing Li Tai's hesitation, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Even if I abandon the government for a while, no one will have any objections. Now the senior officials in the court know how important the plane is. Think about it, if we study it faster, we will wait When the queen father and mother returned to Beijing, we dispatched planes to escort them to welcome the queen father and mother back to Chang'an, what a grand scene it was."

After imagining such a scene, Li Tai knew that his overjoyed father would definitely pass out happily.

Rubbing his hands excitedly, Li Tai said with a smile: "Nowadays, the scientific research institute has all the talents it needs, Brother Huang, why don't we start trying tomorrow?"

Li Chengqian shook his head, and said in Li Tai's puzzled eyes: "It will start tonight, we two live together, my brother will show you what it means to make a decision before you move!"

The so-called plan and then act, in fact, is to draw a picture first, and then conduct experiments after conception.

For airplanes, Li Chengqian only knows the principle of airplane wings, but the principle cannot be explained clearly.I also know that the original plane has a large propeller that rotates around in the front. As for the use of this thing, I don't know.

However, it is also a way to know that the results can be pushed backwards.

That night, Li Chengqian drew the most primitive blueprint of the glider, and handed it over to the craftsman and cobbler to make it overnight.

Early the next morning, a pig was wailing, tied to the most basic glider by the guards, and pushed off the cliff with the help of wheels.

While Li Tai was stunned, the two plywood-like monsters made by Brother Huang actually realized the movement of gliding.It's just a pity that maybe that stupid pig moved wildly, and the glider only glides for a short distance before spinning and falling down.

Watching the glider fall, Li Tai said speechlessly: "If there is a person on it, maybe it can fly for a longer time."

Li Chengqian frowned and said: "The length and width of the wings need to be adjusted. Even if the pig moves around, it shouldn't fall so easily. As for letting people go up for the experiment, don't let it go. When our experiments are mature, we can do it." We have to use the slaves sold by the Japanese kingdom to conduct experiments, human life is only once, so cherish it."

Li Tai nodded very naturally. Ever since the miners of the Wa Kingdom reported the many disgusting traditions of this nation back to the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Tang Dynasty were full of disgust for this race.And the Wa people who were turned into slaves according to the contract were often sold, and no one cared about them.And some of the bought ones must be used to do dangerous things with these people.

The current trend in Datang is like this. Simple and easy-to-make money jobs are given priority to the people of Datang.Those that are dangerous or even life-threatening can only be done by slaves.Today, the slaves of the Tang Dynasty have been completely extinct.

The appearance of the glider made Li Tai see the hope of researching the aircraft in a short time, and immediately dragged Brother Huang to go down the mountain to modify the blueprint.

The emperor concealed himself in the scientific research institute and did not hide the fact that he helped King Wei conduct research.And for this matter, no one is not ignorant to speak out.Even the common people knew that the emperor was researching an astonishing weapon, and couldn't help but praise the emperor for his diligence.

While Li Chengqian was deliberately avoiding it, the new business law was revised.

If the previous new business law only put the reins on the businessmen, the current new business law puts a circle of iron chains on the businessmen, which is still barbed.With the matter of Zhao Qi and others in front, no one dared to speak out against it.Businessmen can only lament that it is not easy to make money now.

The emperor helped his younger brother to study the aircraft, and Li Shimin, who was out playing, naturally knew about it.However, he didn't pay too much attention to it, but focused on his own tourism business.

Luoyang, Xiangyang, Nanyang, Lingnan, Yuezhou, Hulaoguan former site, Songshan, Huashan, Huangshan...

But Li Shimin would go to any famous place.He who completely put down the throne and no longer cared about government affairs really enjoyed it.

I didn't know how to cherish when I was healthy, but now I have a problem with one leg, and I regret it too late.At this time, Li Shimin only regretted why he didn't give the throne to Li Chengqian earlier.

Everyone's resentment is very powerful, and it can travel thousands of miles.As for the dragon among men - the Supreme Emperor, his resentment was naturally so great that Li Chengqian, who was experimenting, sneezed several times in a row.

Worried that the emperor's brother would be soaked in the morning dew and cause the wind and cold, Li Tai hurriedly took off the head of the guard's coir raincoat and put it on for his brother.

In the morning mist, several guards were stuffing a two-hundred-jin pig into the cabin of No. 13 glider.

From the previous two-story paraglider structure to the current aircraft-like shape, the appearance of Li Chengqian has solved many problems of Li Tai.

Although the principle of the propeller has not yet been figured out, it does not delay the creation of the shell first.

As for whether the propeller is rotating forward or backward, just experiment slowly in the future.

Following Li Chengqian's order, the No. 13 pig, like its twelve peers, entered the sky.

Unlike the previous crashes, this time, no matter how the pig moved, the plane just shook, but did not fall again.

Seeing this scene, Li Tai couldn't help exclaiming.From spring to summer, he didn't make much progress in his research. Brother Huang came to this stage in less than a month.

In the excitement, Li Tai hugged Li Chengqian tightly and said: "Brother Huang, we succeeded! We succeeded!"

Li Chengqian was out of breath by Li Taylor, and could only cry and laugh: "This is just gliding, our goal is to fly freely. Qingque, we still have a long way to go."

Li Tai immediately let go of his hand, and said contemptuously: "I knew you were so powerful, I was tied up at the beginning, and I wanted to tie you up to help! Sometimes, I really want to open your brain to see, what is the brain of a monster? Isn't it the same as Bigan's Qiqiao Linglongxin, which also has seven holes?"

Li Chengqian said speechlessly: "There are seven holes in the brain, it would have died long ago, stop flattering, and quickly send someone to search for the glider and the pig. If it falls like this, if the pig is not dead, we can experiment with living people. Through control Although the aileron rudder is for gliding, this glider should be able to complete the steering no matter what."

Hearing this, Li Tai suddenly regained his energy, and hurriedly sent people down the mountain.

After some searching, finally in a forest, I found a glider hanging on a tree and a fat pig that was still alive.
