Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

Li Shimin heard the words, with anger on his face, "How come I don't know these truths? But these can only be solved by rhetoric?"

"Do you know how many landlords there are in the Tang Dynasty? Do you know how much money these landlords have? Have you investigated how many private soldiers they have?"

"If the imperial court changes its strategy and extends its hand to the powerful landlords, once a mutiny is triggered, how do you let the current Tang Dynasty bear the consequences?"

"Are you asked to lead the white-robed army to destroy them one by one?"

Chapter 66

Mentioning this matter, Li Shimin was a little excited in his words.

Agriculture is the foundation of national development.

For this, he did not know how much effort he had put in.

Now, how could he not be angry when Li Chengqian said that he had been taken advantage of by the landlord Haoqiang and was ruled by others.

How can I be the emperor myself, and I can't let the prince teach me?

Li Chengqian stopped, looked straight at Li Shimin, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Is this the reason why father let them go? Is this the reason why father dare not touch them? This is why father let these moths do whatever they want Is it a reason to absorb the hard work of the Tang people?"

He was blunt and asked three times, his words were not shocking and he kept dying!

Li Chengqian and Li Shimin confronted each other.

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, the surrounding princes broke into a cold sweat.

After the change of Xuanwumen, even the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan did not dare to challenge Li Shimin like this, this Li Chengqian is so strong.

It's not that these dukes couldn't see some things, but they just didn't dare to say them, or they gave up after being rejected by Li Shimin.

Certainly, the majesty of the emperor cannot be violated.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin was furious, "I need you to teach me how to do things!"

"Wars are raging on the border of the Tang Dynasty. When will there be a shortage of food! When will there be no food! Where does this food come from? There are no landlords. Where do you ask me to raise this food? The hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty are open every day. Mouth, wait for me to feed you! Don’t you know?”

The more Li Shimin talked, the more angry he became. His son's attitude was too arrogant, and he challenged him in front of so many princes.

He was in a good mood at first, so he must be educated and educated today.

Let him know that this great country can be governed by not winning a battle or destroying a family. Governing the country can not only rely on iron and blood skills, but also rely on brains.

"Heh..." Li Chengqian said in disbelief, "According to my father's opinion, these landlords who invaded state-owned land, seized it by force, and annexed the land of self-cultivating farmers are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty?"

"That should be the land of the Tang Dynasty, the grain of the Tang Dynasty, and it should be the land of the people who face the loess and their backs to the sky, and the grain of the people."

"Didn't the father hear what the old farmer said? He has worked so hard all his life, leading an old scalper to plow the field diligently, and in the end he can't eat enough. Whose fault is this? Is it the fault of ordinary Tang people?"

"Is this the purpose of my father's establishment of the Tang Dynasty? Is this the so-called serving the country and the people?"

Regarding the issue of the well-being of the people in the Tang Dynasty, let alone Li Shimin, even if he brought Li Yuan out, Li Chengqian would not show him any affection.

Li Chengqian thought that Li Shimin's vision was too narrow at this time, and under the guise of the interests of the people, he tricked himself into going against the people.

"You..." Li Shimin was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Li Chengqian's unyielding attitude was really hard for Li Shimin to accept.

His own political strategy made what he said worthless.

Everyone was silent after hearing Li Chengqian's words. They felt that Li Chengqian's words were indeed reasonable. According to Li Shimin's thinking, they really deviated from the original intention.

When they assisted Li Shimin to ascend the throne of God, they couldn't bear the suffering of the people to suffer from the war and the crime of being displaced.

But now, when they heard these two words from the heart of the old farmer, they felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

Are they really wrong?

at this time……

Changsun Wuji came over with the water bottle and handed it to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the prince speaks out for the country and the country."

Although he comforted Li Shimin with his lips, his heart was actually for Li Chengqian.

Changsun Wuji did not expect Li Chengqian to have such a thorough understanding of politics at such a young age.

Li Shimin took the kettle and took a sip, calmly said: "I ask you, if it were you, what would you do?"

"Landlord land ownership has been passed down in this land for many years. It is not as simple as eradicating a few five surnames and seven wangs."

"Landlords are widespread and deeply rooted, and they cannot be erased with a few words."

At this time, Li Shimin also regained his composure and suppressed his anger. He gradually understood that what Li Chengqian said was indeed reasonable.

Li Chengqian said: "We can reform the land system state by state, and landlords can also fight state by state."

"For anyone who invades state-owned land and seizes the people's land by force, no matter how rich his background is, regardless of his official position, he will be caught and killed."

"Distribute all the land to the people, implement the land ownership system of self-cultivating farmers, and encourage the people to open up wasteland and farm."

"For the people who are active in farming and weaving, the tax is light and the tax is light; for the landlord and the powerful, the tax is increased."

"Water can carry a boat and overturn it. The people are the foundation of our Tang Dynasty's development, not the powerful landlords."

"If there is no rectification at this time, the people will only be squeezed harder and harder, and the riots will only be a matter of time."

"If the people had surplus food in their hands, the disaster would not be so terrible."

Listening to Li Chengqian's logical analysis, everyone nodded involuntarily.

Li Shimin's eyes were also bright, he thought that Li Chengqian only knew superficially and was just showing off here.

I didn't expect him to have a lot of research on the land system and agricultural development, and what he said made sense.

Even so, Li Shimin was still unconvinced.

"Hmph..." He said contemptuously, "Is this the way you said? Will things be as simple as you said? The landlord is powerful, with five surnames and seven Wang stretching his neck waiting for you to kill him, sitting at home waiting for you to catch him ?”

"Haven't you seen the resistance of the landlords? Murder and arson, armed riots, destruction of farm tools, slaughter of farm animals, strong enemies outside, and excessive internal damage. How do you let Datang bear this state?"

The few princes of the state frowned when they heard Li Shimin's words. They felt that Li Shimin began to deliberately divert the topic. Even they could hear that this was not a reason to overthrow the land ownership system of landlords and develop the land ownership system of self-cultivating farmers.

"Heh..." Li Chengqian suppressed a smile, "Father, do you think these are the reasons for blocking the land reform? Don't you think the reasons are too far-fetched?"

"Isn't it difficult to overthrow the rule of the Sui Dynasty? Isn't it difficult to defeat the separatist princes? Isn't it difficult to establish the Great Tang Empire? Isn't the change of Xuanwu Gate difficult?"

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin, and said it word by word, sonorous and forceful, every sentence was heartbreaking.

Hearing this, all the princes were in an uproar, the prince is really too ruthless, this is adding salt to His Majesty's wounds.

But Li Chengqian didn't care. If the education was not deep enough, then it would be meaningless for him to arrange this outing.

He found that Li Shimin and Zhu Guogong had been in high positions for a long time, and gradually began to forget the sufferings of the people at the bottom, their mission, and how to serve the country and the people.

Chapter 67

Listening to Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin wanted to get angry, and raised it for a long time, but he couldn't!

He kept asking himself.

I don't know when, I seem to like to listen to flattery;

I don't know when, I seem to be less able to accept advice;

I don't know when, my founding heroes seem to be getting farther and farther away from me.

My own road is getting longer and longer, but the road seems to be getting narrower and narrower, and the distance is getting farther and farther, but there seem to be fewer and fewer people.

He turned his head and swept towards the princes.

When they looked at themselves, they all lowered their heads involuntarily. What they could see in their eyes was not loyalty, but more fear.

At the beginning, I was not a king of Qin who dared to speak out and act decisively.

In the sixth year of Wude, Yang Wenqian rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. Because it was related to the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan hoped that Li Shimin could go to battle in person to quell the rebellion. Under the premise of preserving his life, Li Shimin readily agreed.

But in the end, Li Yuan changed his mind and transferred Li Jiancheng back to the capital under the internal and external attack of Feng Deyi, Li Yuanji and the concubines in the harem who favored Li Jiancheng.

After Yang Wengan was strangled by Li Shimin, Li Yuan just found two scapegoats, and lightly ignored the matter of abolishing the prince.

The matter of making Li Shimin the prince was agreed, but nothing happened.

In October of the same year, the Turks invaded. Li Yuan was worried all day long whether the city of Chang'an would be captured by the Turks, and wanted to move the capital. In the end, it was Li Shimin who tried his best to persuade him and vowed to fight against him, which made Li Yuan change his mind.

In the end, in the words of Li Jiancheng and his concubine, it turned out that King Qin wanted to support himself.

Since then, he has been excluded everywhere.

"Ha ha……"

Thinking of these countless things, Li Shimin laughed out loud.

The laughter was full of helplessness.

"Isn't it difficult to overthrow the rule of the Sui Dynasty? Isn't it difficult to defeat the separatist princes? Isn't it difficult to establish the Great Tang Empire? Isn't the change of Xuanwu Gate difficult?"

At this moment, Li Shimin's mind is full of Li Chengqian, isn't it difficult?

Disaster!How can it not be difficult!

"It is difficult to overthrow the rule of the Sui Dynasty! It is difficult to defeat the separatist princes! It is difficult to establish the Great Tang Empire! It is difficult to change the Xuanwu Gate! It is even more difficult to become the emperor yourself!"

Isn't Li Chengqian the same as when he was the King of Qin back then?

It is about the country, the country, and the common people, so they have no scruples. They say what they can say, and they say what they can't say. They do what they can and do what they can't do.

No matter what you do or what you say to please the emperor, as long as you care about the world, you will have nothing to fear.

And I seem to be more and more like the one I hated before.

Be careful everywhere, be cautious in your words and deeds, and your courage is getting smaller and smaller.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Changsun Wuji looked at the happy and sad Li Shimin and called softly.

The princes of the state were also full of doubts. They were preparing to meet Li Shimin's thunderous wrath, but who knew that Li Shimin had no voice, and sometimes laughed loudly, sometimes extremely sad.

They were so scared that Li Shimin was mad by Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously when he looked at Daddy Cheap, he knew that Daddy Cheap must be deeply immersed in his memories.

After all, when Dad Cheap was still the King of Qin, he was definitely regarded as a great hero of the country, with lofty aspirations and great righteousness.

For the benefit of the country, for the well-being of the people, he is definitely the one who is not afraid of being smashed to pieces.

Although he has deviated somewhat from the direction he had when he was young, the purpose of Li Chengqian's trip is to teach the cheap old man well, lead him back to the right path, and not go astray.

If Li Shimin knew that his son was always thinking about how to educate himself, how to teach himself to be an emperor, I don't know what kind of expression he would have.

"Huh?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "You old fellows! Not as good as my son! Auxiliary machine, Xuanling, Keming, Xuancheng, these things, have you already seen it, why have you never told me? What happened? What? You old bastards are still afraid that I will punish you?"

"Chengqian said all these words now, he is teaching us old things to do things, are you ashamed!" Several people cupped their hands.

"Wei Chen dare not."

……

"Huh!" Li Shimin continued: "Don't dare, I don't think you dare to say it. Xuancheng, you first tell me what you think. Today, we will talk about this field among these acres. Let Cheng Qian see if we old men are really useless."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng stood up, "This... since His Majesty asked me to say it, I will say it."

"I think what His Royal Highness said is reasonable. The relationship between landlords and peasants must not be reversed. If all peasants become tenant farmers, then the landlords will eventually grow up."

"In the Tang Dynasty, the vast majority of the people are farmers. Agriculture is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Changing the economic situation of the farmers, vigorously promoting agricultural reform, and making farmers the masters of the land are the keys to "surviving the people." . "

"Your Majesty, you forbid the extravagance of princes and palaces, isn't it just that you don't want to waste money and people?"

"The matter of labor and abuse should not be imposed on the common people. Isn't this your original intention, Your Majesty?"

"Now the common people don't suffer from these sufferings, but suffer from the oppression of the landlords. Is this what you would like to see, Your Majesty?"

Nowadays, there are more and more tenant farmers in the Tang Dynasty. They rent the landlord's land with high tax burden, and they also help the landlord to do a lot of work for free.

Under the oppression and exploitation of the landlords, the common people have no means of living and no food to eat.

Li Shimin listened to Wei Zheng's words quietly, nodded from time to time, thinking, these words have been held in your mouth for a long time, old man, if Cheng Qian didn't mention this matter today, I don't know if this old man would Will take this to the coffin.

Immediately after...

Li Shimin looked at the other princes, "Then what do you mean?"

Changsun Wuji stood up and said, "My minister absolutely agrees with what Xuan Cheng said, and it makes sense."

"My minister agrees."
