Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Regarding Li Ke's strategy, the ministers thought about it, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. The only problem is food, but the current Datang has no shortage of food.

At present, the annual grain output of Datang is not short of food, and if Li Ke can purchase 4000 million shi of grain every year from Zhenwa, Luguo, Jieri Dynasty, etc., then Datang is really not short of food. Not to mention these places, if the existing land is utilized in the two places of Lingnan Road and Linyi alone, more than 1000 million shi of grain can be transported back to the interior.

Since there is nothing wrong with it, it is natural that the decision was passed on the spot, and the next thing is for Shang Shusheng, and the sixth department will arrange the next related work.

"By the way, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry can discuss the establishment of Datang National Commercial Bank." Li Ke made another opinion.

"National Commercial Bank, can you tell me more about this Highness?" Duan Lun asked hastily.

"Actually, it is the same as ordinary commercial firms in the outside world, but one thing is that the controlling shareholder of these commercial firms is the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Datang, or the Tang court can also be used, that is to say, commercial firms established in the name of the state."

"Usually the imperial court will not give any commercial guidance to these commercial banks, but the commercial banks will hire excellent shopkeepers and business leaders from the people with monthly money, etc., and then they will be responsible for managing the operation of the entire commercial bank. If the grades are outstanding, you can get grades, just like ordinary officials, they also have grades from ninth grade to first grade."

"However, these grades are more of a recognition of their identities by the imperial court, and they do not have the same status as the court officials for the time being." Li Ke said.

"The reason for the establishment of national commercial firms is that there are certain things that are suitable for operation by the state, which not only guarantees profits, but also ensures that these commercial firms can assume the responsibility of the state when necessary, because private commercial firms are in some respects They will not operate at a loss, but even if they are at a loss most of the time, national commercial banks must operate certain industries, as long as they are useful to the entire country, this is the responsibility of the state.”

"The reason why it is operated independently, rather than being directly under the jurisdiction of officials, is to avoid officials directly doing business, which will lead to corruption problems. And to operate solely in a commercial manner, all commercial firms in the later stage must have equivalent legal provisions. Ministry of Rites He and the Ministry of Punishment should be responsible in this regard." Li Ke said.

Dou Lukuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites: "..." No, this legal matter is a matter of the Ministry of Punishment. What does it have to do with my Ministry of Rites?

Liu Dewei, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry: "..."

"In addition, Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, please discuss the establishment of a separate Ministry of Commerce, because with the operation of commercial taxation, there are more and more commercial firms in the world, especially in the future, Datang will sell many island development rights to Private firms, in this case, commercial jurisdiction is very necessary."

"The Tang Dynasty lacks legal provisions for doing business. Although there are many officials in the Ministry of Punishment, the workload is still heavy. My personal suggestion is to set up a separate department with more subdivided functions." Li Ke said.

"Yes." Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other ministers said.

"Also... Changsun Sikong." Li Ke turned to Changsun Wuji with an inexplicable expression on his face.

"Your Highness." Changsun Wuji saluted, but there was no problem on his face.

"I have a very important matter here, and I want you, Sikong, to take charge." Li Ke said.

Changsun Wuji: "?"

He froze for a moment, he was in charge?Although the relationship between him and the king of Qin eased a lot during the Chinese New Year last year, Li Ke was not around for the first half of this year, and there were also many conflicts between their grandson's family and Li Ke before.

But now Li Ke suddenly came up with an important matter, which made Changsun Wuji a little confused.Is there any trap here?If it is really important, he will find himself?Whether it is Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng and other ministers, Li Ke's priority must be higher than him.

"Please speak, Your Highness." There were various suspicions in his heart, but on the surface, Changsun Wuji would definitely not show it.

"I personally suggest that at the beginning of each year, a work meeting of the Tang court should be held. Officials from all over the Tang Dynasty will come to Chang'an to report on related work. Or this meeting can be held every two years. You can decide and refer to it, Sikong. If the local officials can't come, then the deputy will come, but if there is always one person who comes to hold this meeting."

"And this meeting usually lasts for a few days. I suggest that its content be disclosed to the public through Datang Weekly."

"The main topics for discussion, I have formulated the following."

"It is mainly divided into work reviews of the past year and the past five years."

"In the past year, for example, how much the national tax revenue has increased, how much the national population has increased, and how much the national arable land has increased."

"Calculate counties, prefectures, and townships that are particularly poor across the country, and then see that we can't think of some ways to improve the living conditions of the local people."

"Statistics of the national grain production last year, and whether the grain production has improved in the past five years."

"Statistics of anti-corruption achievements in the past year, etc."

"The other thing is to look forward to the main expected goals for this year or the next two years."

"How much tax revenue has increased across the country, how much tax revenue has increased in various regions, the arable area of ​​the people in each region, the income of the people, whether the population has increased, the food production in each region, etc."

"The output of important industries can also be counted and forecasted, such as steel output."

"There are also suggestions for the work of the imperial government this year, from government investment, that is, state-owned commercial banks, disease prevention, population growth and other policies, arrangements for key industries such as craftsman manufacturing, and related progress and restrictions on private commercial banks. For poor counties and townships Suggestions. There are also social security issues such as education, medical care, and retired government soldiers.”

Li Ke said seriously, "I hope you, Sikong, can take charge of these things. As the pillar of Datang, your ability is beyond doubt, and only you, Sikong, can take charge of these tasks."

Fang Xuanling next to him quietly moved his butt to the side, this job...forget it, I have too many things to do in the sixth part, and I am almost exhausted, so it is good to let Changsun Sikong take care of it.

Changsun Wuji was stunned. He looked at Li Ke in a daze. He thought that Li Ke had found him a thankless job, but after Li Ke finished speaking, he found that... this matter was really very important thing.

Don't look at Li Ke just asking him to organize this meeting and formulate the content to be discussed in this meeting, but formulating the meeting itself is a very powerful right!And Li Ke gave him this right!

What's the situation? !Changsun Wuji was completely dumbfounded.
