Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 535
The hard work he put in for half a month was finally not in vain. Qin Feng was naturally very happy. Of course, what he was most happy about was that "the south of the Yangtze River has been prosperous since ancient times" presupposed hundreds of years of appearance because of his interference.As for whether it was successful, he had no doubts at all.Once the population surges, Jiangnan will definitely become the number one place for grain production!

You know, what Datang lacks right now is food

After the court meeting ended, Qin Feng found Li Shimin as a matter of course.

Li Shimin had already expected that Qin Feng would come, so he prepared some snacks in the garden yard first.

"Come, I knew you would come. Have a few drinks with me. I've been so busy lately that I have a headache, and even eat three mouthfuls. There are not many opportunities for this kind of leisurely drinking..."

Li Shimin is in good spirits, but his face is a little tired. He smiled and beckoned Qin Feng to sit down and said: "You did not disappoint me. Your memorial is very detailed. How to start it is listed clearly and clearly. If Every memorial is like you, raising problems and listing the solutions one by one, then I will be blessed."

Qin Feng smiled and said: "The joy of life lies in solving one problem after another, in the process. If others do everything for you, the father-in-law must be very boring as the emperor."

Li Shimin was startled when he heard the words, and then burst out into a gigantic laugh, saying: "It makes sense, it makes sense, and only you know me best. This is absolutely true, if everything is handled by someone else, It's not interesting for the emperor to be in front of you. You have made another great achievement! What should I reward you for?" He looked at Qin Feng with a smile, unable to hide his love and appreciation.

Listen to Li Shimin's question.Qin Feng couldn't help being startled, this kind of question is the most difficult to answer, if the answer is heavy, it means greed, but if the answer is light, it means to look down on him. Who will take on the heavy responsibility of developing Jiangnan?"

When mentioning this matter, Li Shimin's face full of smiles stopped, and he said: "As you and Xuan Cheng said, you can't rush to develop Jiangnan, but you have to do it. This suggestion was made by you. You are undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, but you are indispensable for the Northeast matter. I am worrying about this matter!"

Qin Feng spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "My son-in-law is helpless in this matter. After all, he is only one person, but he has no three heads and six arms. However, your majesty's ability to use people to know people is unmatched. After the administration of officials, all those left are capable officials. , can't you find a suitable candidate?"

In order to buy people's hearts, Li Yuan gave high-ranking officials generous salaries to those who defected to Li Tang, making them think that they met a wise master and sincerely worked for Li Tang.

This method of buying people's hearts did bring great benefits to Li Tang Jiangshan in the early days of his business, but it undoubtedly left a hidden danger of redundant officials to future generations.

Li Shimin's layoffs are just to solve the sequelae left over from the beginning.

Li Shimin's drastic layoffs reduced more than 2000 officials to 640. It can be seen that Li Shimin's saying that "officials win people, but not many people" is by no means empty words.

Now the officials serving in the court each have their own responsibilities and tasks, sharing the affairs of at least three people in the past, and forming a practice of doing practical things.

"That's natural!" Li Shimin smiled smugly, even he never thought that the official administration would come to this point.It's just that he is quite proud and narcissistic. Naturally, he looks like everything is under control. After being narcissistic for a while, Li Shimin said: "Our Tang Dynasty is a new dynasty, and the new dynasty will naturally have a new look, but..." For a while, he couldn't find a suitable adjective.

Qin Feng smiled knowingly: "It's just that the road has to be taken step by step, and the meal has to be eaten bite by bite. This reform and development should be carried out step by step. The steps are too big, and it is easy to tear the egg and hurt!"

"My Tang Dynasty intends to reproduce the rule of Wenjing and the style of Han and Wu. Naturally, treasures like Jiangnan must be developed. But all of this is inseparable from money. Developing barren land and increasing food production in the coming year. Where is the money for developing barren land? Where did you come from? You said to open up the Maritime Silk Road. It is simple to say, study the compass and sea ship technology. Where did the money come from? There are countless places where money is needed for the development of Datang. I can’t wait to break a Tongbao into two pieces Let’s use it. Don’t be too impatient about this development, so as not to follow the principles of the past. The lessons learned from the past are vivid! Haha, your sentence’ striding too far, it’s easy to tear and hurt!’ is on point , The words are rough and the rationale is not rough." Li Shimin said with a big smile.

Qin Feng was also shocked when he heard Li Shimin's words, and realized that it seemed a bit counterproductive.Because he changed history, in just a few years, Datang's economic status has developed at an unprecedented speed.If it develops too fast, there will be a danger of its foundation becoming unstable... just like the *** of later generations...

"Some ministers think that the rule of Wenjing and the prosperity of the emperor are not far away. They are complacent about the achievements in front of them, but they don't see the danger in this development. What you said today is 'taking copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes, Taking people as a guide, you can know the gains and losses, and taking history as a guide, you can know the ups and downs' just in time to make everyone sober! Of course..." Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said: "I still feel that the sentence 'steps are too big, it's easy. It hurts!' is more appropriate."

Qin Feng also laughed, and the two laughed for a while, Li Shimin said: "I know, no matter how careful we are, no matter how cautious we are, there will inevitably be some problems. If you preside over Jiangnan's affairs, I'm fine." I'm so worried. The key is that you can't leave!" As he spoke, he returned to the matter of Jiangnan.

Qin Feng stood up and bowed: "There may not be no talents. It would be nice to have someone here. I came to find my father-in-law because I wanted to introduce an outstanding talent for Datang."

"Oh!" When Li Shimin heard about the talent, his eyes lit up like a cat smelling fishy smell, "What kind of talent is it? Invite him quickly."

"Ma Zhou with the talent of Wang Zuo!"

"Are you willing to let him go?" Li Shimin laughed happily. He had always wanted to poach Qin Feng's corner, but Ma Zhou had a weird temper and didn't buy Li Shimin the emperor's account, which made Li Shimin depressed for a long time.

For Ma Zhou, a genius, Li Shimin was both in love and angry. He threw an olive branch to Ma Zhou several times, intending to take him for his own use, become an important administrative member of Datang, and contribute his extraordinary talents to Datang.But he never imagined that Ma Zhou would refuse, and he would ignore his invitation by talking about ignorant and messy things.

He condescended to write three letters in succession to no avail.

Ma Zhou attaches great importance to love and righteousness. If Qin Feng, who acts as his bole and benefactor, comes forward, he will be [-]% sure of the matter at least.

Qin Feng smiled wryly and said: "Father-in-law, isn't there nobody here? Although Ma Zhou is a bit of a eccentric guy, he is really Wang Zuozhi's talent. To say something that destroys his prestige, asking him to assist me is really overkill. He is dealing with it in Youzhou. Those uninspired trivial things can't play [-]% of his ability. It is really a waste to stay in Youzhou. Our set at the border has already matured, and we only need to combine it with Youzhou's actual situation and make a slight change. If you use it, even if there is no Ma Zhou, Du He can perfectly control that set. The development of Jiangnan is an unprecedented event, and it needs someone like him to preside over it. He was transferred from Youzhou, and then It is beneficial to the country, beneficial to the people, and beneficial to him. How can my son-in-law delay this three-fold matter because of his own selfishness? But father-in-law, Du He is young after all, and he still needs an old man like Ma Zhou Come to give me advice, you give me three months, after the general direction of Youzhou is dealt with, I will let him come to Chang'an and listen to your call."

"Okay, okay, okay! I'll just wait for your words." Li Shimin said happily.

It can be seen that Li Shimin seemed very happy because of Qin Feng's words.

Seeing that Li Shimin was happy, Qin Feng asked about the important things of this trip: "Father-in-law, I wonder what you plan to do with Hou Junji?"

Listen to Li Shimin's question.Du He couldn't help being startled, this kind of question is the most difficult to answer, if the answer is heavy, it means greed, but if the answer is light, it means looking down on him. How does that go?"

When Hou Junji was mentioned, Li Shimin's face full of smiles also changed. His fists were clenched and loosened, and his heart was extremely difficult and complicated. Suddenly, he stared at Qin Feng and said in a muffled voice: " You said, if I change places, how should you deal with it?"

Qin Feng smiled wryly, what right did he have to dispose of Hou Junji? Li Shimin's question showed that he wanted to protect each other. Could it be that at this time, if he said that he would be punished severely, could Hou Junji be severely punished?In fact, Li Shimin really didn't want to punish Hou Junji severely, especially after the death of Changsun Wuji, this idea became more firm.

Qin Feng thought for a while and said: "My lord father-in-law, the purpose of my son-in-law this time is not to deepen the grievances but to resolve the grievances. I came here to see my father-in-law today because of this matter, not deliberately targeting Hou Junji. The matter has passed Let him go, besides, Hou Junji's leaking military information is indeed a felony, but after all, it did not cause much harm to Datang. Not only that, but also contributed to the destruction of the Wumeng tribe. Failure, to a certain extent, Hou Junji is not only innocent, but also meritorious. My son-in-law doesn't want to blame anyone, let alone punish anyone! Let's let this matter go!"

Qin Feng also said these words extremely loudly, and what he said was righteous.

But in the current situation, Qin Feng said so, but it has an unexpected effect.

Li Shimin's expression was gratified. What he said was in stark contrast to Hou Junji's behavior and his ruthlessness in prison.

How broad-minded one is, and how narrow-minded the other is!

Li Shimin couldn't help but to smile, extremely satisfied, he couldn't help thinking: my son-in-law has a big heart, he is better than too many people, and he really didn't disappoint me.

"However, no matter what the outcome is, Master Hou Junji's actions have still caused harm to our army. If there is no certain expression, the soldiers will definitely not accept it. Although the soldiers who died were low-level people, they were also citizens of the Tang Dynasty. The children of the parents, the husband of the wife, the father of the children. The father-in-law and son-in-law can’t explain to the dead soldiers, if this is done, the cold-hearted low-level soldiers dare to fight bravely for the great cause of the great Tang dynasty!”

Li Shimin sighed and said: "My son-in-law is right. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I can't turn a blind eye to this matter. It would be bad if I make a bad start. He is my hero of the Tang Dynasty, and I don't want to let him His reputation has been discredited, so I will not announce this matter, so as to save him some face. Let him put incense sticks on the spiritual thrones of imperial warriors in the Tower of Heroes of the Tang Dynasty! In addition, I will let him stay in the Duke's Mansion for the next three years Like to learn from the style of the ancient sages and gentlemen."

Qin Feng was speechless. He thought that Li Shimin would just let Hou Junji go, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin would be so heavy-handed. He suddenly understood in his heart: Li Shimin did not forgive Hou Junji's current crimes because of his past achievements. Realizing something, he dealt with it impartially, and did not show mercy just because Hou Junji was his confidant minister. He had misunderstood this emperor through the ages, and he had clearly defined rewards and punishments.
