One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin talked about several major reform measures in one breath, and his mouth felt dry for a while.

At this time, Zhang Jun, who was the censor Zhongcheng, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Public Security and the court have been involved in the investigation and judgment, so what will our censor do in the future?"

Li Xin said: "The duty of the censor is still to supervise all officials and military officials. Although the Ministry of Public Security has the power to investigate cases, cases of official corruption and dereliction of duty are still under the jurisdiction of the censor. Of course, if it is a criminal case such as murder, It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Security. When the censor investigates the case, soldiers or garrisons in various places need to provide protection. After the censor investigates the case, he can directly file a lawsuit with the High Court, which will make a judgment. If the censor dies accidentally due to the investigation, then the local officials You need to take responsibility unless you die from a normal illness."

Li Xin's move was also to scare local officials. No matter in ancient or modern times, many imperial envoys who investigated cases died accidentally.

Zhang Jun bowed and said, "I have no problem."

Li Xin continued: "The Central Bank of Datang was newly established at the ministerial level. Yan Yunfei, the former president of the Salt Bank, was appointed as the president of the Central Bank. The Salt Bank was placed under the jurisdiction of the Central Bank, and the Agricultural Bank of China and the Construction Bank were newly established. It is under the jurisdiction of the central bank, and the main responsibility of the central bank is to supervise its subordinate banks and study and adjust annual monetary policy.”

Yan Yunfei stood up and said: "Your Majesty, does the Central Bank still do business with the outside world?"

Li Xin shook his head and said: "No, the central bank is only located in Yanjing. I just said that the central bank's responsibility is to manage its subordinate banks and study and adjust annual monetary policies to ensure the smooth operation of the economy. As long as the central bank does a good job That’s all, let’s leave the business to the subordinate banks.”

Yan Yunfei bowed and said, "I understand."

Li Xin continued: "Feng Liang Hongyu is the empress, Yelu Yuliyan, the former eldest princess of Daliao, is the noble concubine, Zhu Lian is the virtuous concubine, Zhao Fujin is the virtuous concubine, Zhao Duofu is the Shufei, Zhu Fengying is Zhaoyi, and Wang Xueyan is Zhaorong. , Zhao Xianlang is Xiuyuan, Zhao Zhuzhu is Xiuyi, Zhao Xiangyun is Xiurong, Zhao Chuanzhu is Chongyuan, Zhao Jiner is Wanrong, Zhao Jinyin is Wanyi, Zhao Xiaojin is Shunrong, and Zhao Jinling is Guiyi.

My sister Li Jing is the eldest princess, my eldest daughter Li Xining is Princess Lingyou, my second daughter Li Xinyue is Princess Hanyue, my third daughter Li Jiayue is Princess Xiyue, my fourth daughter Li Feiyan is Princess Zhaoyang, and my fifth daughter Li Bingyin is Princess Jinghai. The sixth daughter Li Jingsi is Princess Ruoyun, the seventh daughter Li Yingyu is Princess Qinglan, the eighth daughter Li Ruolan is Princess Qianlan, the ninth daughter Li Lingxue is Princess Miaoxue, and the tenth daughter Li Qinyu is Princess Yuying.

Okay, today's court meeting is over. The minister's servants, Yan Yunfei, Liu Yi, Xu Wenchang, Zhang Yi, Ouyang Hao, Zhu Xuan, Ruan Xiaowu, Liu Fa, Zhao Liangsi, Liu Qi, and Pan Lianggui can stay for a while. Dispersed. "

Xiao Dezi, who was standing by, heard the sound and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Retreat from the court."

"I'm waiting to retire."

After the ministers had dispersed, Li Xin said: "Two Prime Ministers, I have come down with you to discuss the division of labor in the Political Hall. This is what I have considered. As the minister's left servant, Prime Minister Zhao has to participate in the management of the Military Aircraft Department, so From now on, Xianggong Zhao will be in charge of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transport, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Xianggong Li will not need to participate in the affairs of the Military Aircraft Department, and will be in charge of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Health; the Central Bank and the Ministry of Rites will be under my direct control , as for the remaining eight departments including the Ministry of Industry, the Court, the Supervisory Authority, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Audit Department, and the Land Management Department, they will be divided by the remaining four political advisors. As for how to divide the two of you back, Let’s discuss it again, and then just submit the list to me. I would like to remind you that the court, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Inspectorate must be managed separately by three people.”

The two of them bowed and said, "I understand."

Li Xin turned to Zhao Liangsi and said: "Zhao Shangshu, I plan to send an envoy to Japan to discuss trade matters. Do you think who should be sent?"

Zhao Liangsi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to send Wang Lun."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Then let Wang Lun follow the Japanese envoy to Japan."

Zhao Liangsi bowed and said, "Old minister, I obey the order."

Li Xin then said to Pan Lianggui: "Pan Shangshu, this is what I think about religion. First count the number of people in each sect, and then redistribute the temples according to the number of people in each sect. For example, Buddhism and Taoism, which have the largest number of people, can have one on each road." Two large temples, each prefecture can have one to two medium-sized temples, and each county can have one or two small temples. Of course, this number is just my assumption. The specific number will be allocated based on the number of people from each sect counted by your Ministry of Rites. Temples The number of temples must be strictly controlled. After the number of temples is confirmed, it will be reported to me for a look. Once I agree, it will be implemented. All other redundant temples will be demolished. In addition, the land owned by each temple must also be strictly controlled. The temple land is based on the number of people in the temple. It is determined that one person has three acres of land, and it can only be land near the temple."

Pan Lianggui frowned and said, "Your Majesty, is it too little to divide the land into three acres per person?"

Li Xin shook his head and said: "It's quite a lot. In addition to land, temples also have incense money. After I control the number of temples, the incense money in those temples will definitely increase greatly. Then if the land output is not enough, the temples can also use incense money." The money is used to buy food."

Pan Lianggui thought to himself: The emperor is thinking of paying for temple incense. So he bowed and said, "I understand."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, the Ministry of Rites will set up religious bureaus in various places to strictly manage religious affairs in various places. We must severely crack down on the behavior of spreading religion in private. I emphasize again that except for Buddhism and Taoism, no other religion is allowed in the Tang Dynasty." It has been spread among the people that once it is discovered that anyone must be sentenced to death, we can ask the Ministry of Public Security and local soldiers to assist you."

Pan Lianggui said with a serious expression: "I obey the order."

Next, Li Xin said to Xu Wenchang: "Wenchang, this Northern Expedition has recovered a large area in the north. Potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, cotton and other crops have places where they can show their talents. You should know how to do it."

Xu Wenchang looked slightly excited and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to do."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, but the north is still dominated by wheat, and this cannot be changed."

Xu Wenchang bowed and said: "I understand that our Ministry of Agriculture has been doing research on the breeding of rice and wheat, as well as other crops."

Li Xin touched his chin and said: "That's good. The tasks of your Ministry of Agriculture are still very heavy. In addition to traditional planting, animal husbandry, breeding, and fisheries are also under your control. These must be managed well. Their functions are not at all as important as If the planting industry is poor, remember not to slack off. In addition to the agricultural bureaus in various places, you can also set up animal husbandry bureaus and fishery bureaus according to the needs of each place to guide people in various places to do these things."

Xu Wenchang frowned and said: "Your Majesty, there is no problem in doing these things, but the Ministry of Agriculture does not have enough money."

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Money is not a problem. I am opening the Agricultural Bank of China. Don't you understand my intention?"

Xu Wenchang bowed and said, "That's fine."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, you dear ladies, please go down first."
