Chapter 726 The Turks Go South

"Praying for rain probably won't come." Li Dandao said helplessly.

The emperors of the Five Directions lifted the table, and Li Dandao couldn't move.

Moreover, to solve the problem of drought, it is best to completely clean up the Dragon God among rivers and lakes.

Li Dandao spoke: "There is a severe drought in the north, so you can only move the water of the canal."

"No!" Li Shimin directly refused.

If the water level of the canal is not enough, large ships cannot travel north and south.

"Then wait for the rebellion." Li Dandao spoke bluntly.

At this time, the eunuch finally reported the news that Guangxi had rebelled... Luo Hong killed the landlords and fled to Guangdong and occupied the three coastal counties... There were already riots in Shandong, killing the landlords and robbing food...

There were seven or eight news as soon as it came.

"No matter how you deal with the south, you will solve the Turks. As for the severe drought, the fields on both sides of the canal can be irrigated." Li Shimin said.

Li Dandao sneered: "The fertile fields on both sides of the canal are all fields of noble families and no acres belong to ordinary people."

"If aristocratic families do not take the lead in rebelling, they will not rebel." Li Shimin said.

"It depends on how the food in Taihu Lake, Dongting, Jiangsu, and Sichuan areas are going on." Li Shimin rubbed his brows.

Li Dandao said: "The aristocratic family has food, and the merchants have food. Your Majesty should think about how to take out the food from them, rather than thinking about the grain warehouses. The food needed for marching and fighting is where the people in the south themselves are heavy enough."

At this time, Wei Zheng came: "Since Your Majesty regards Qin as his name, why not learn the method of Qin to control hegemony?"

Li Shimin said: "Is it a way to farm and fight?"

The method of farming and fighting was the policy of the pre-Qin Legalists to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

"Plowing" refers to agricultural production. "War" refers to military achievements.

The reason why the country prospers is the agricultural war. It advocates the development of the economy through "farming war" and strengthening national defense.

"What are your plans?" Li Shimin now saw Wei Zheng, as if he had seen a treasure.

"Recruitment." Wei Zheng said: "A good family guards the inner world, and evil young men guard the border."

"Your Majesty, no! I'm afraid that the more you do this, the more others feel that Your Majesty is powerful!" When the Si Nong heard this, he felt that the burden of food and grass on his body was hundreds of times heavier.

He quickly asked the eunuch to call Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to take charge of money, grain and taxes.

Liu Zhenghui was counting money and food at home, and he wanted to break a piece of money into four petals.

Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, people have been living in vain. Later, the people rebelled against the kings in various ways, and fewer people were on the ground and more bandits were involved, which became even more chaotic.

After Li Yuan became emperor, he promoted the field system and slowly restored some of the people's livelihood.

Before, Li Shimin was actually fighting more, and General Tiance was not allowed to be sealed, but it was hyped up.

Li Jiancheng managed the logistics and had previously inspected the counties in Chang'an.

Now that Li Jiancheng is dead, the shortcomings of talents in this area have been revealed.

Liu Zhenghui was a versatile talent, and he succeeded in literature and martial arts. He had been staying in Taiyuan before and managed the rear, and later served as the Minister of Justice.

At this time, I hurried into the palace.

When he heard that Wei Zheng had the idea of ​​"recruitment", he actually cried loudly without regard for his shame: "Your Majesty, you have no money and no food!"

"It would be great if Changsun Wuji was here."

Changsun Wuji is now going to quell the rebellion of Li Yi.

"Learn from Qin State? Farming and War?" Liu Zhenghui sneered: "At that time, the Legalists ruled the country, but now it's different."

"Didn't we also cultivate farms in the Han Dynasty?" Wei Zheng said: "Just shed horses and train troops to cultivate farms in the frontier, so that the army can be self-sufficient."

Seeing this, Li Dandao felt that it would be better to take out the food from the aristocratic families.

Otherwise, if the people were forced to rebel, they would be able to raise a soldier at will, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms have only been fifty or sixty years, and they have killed so much that they are so powerful that they are so hot.

However, Li Shimin relied heavily on the children of aristocratic families.

The Li family can achieve success by investing in all walks of life.

"You can farm in Taiyuan!" Li Shimin asked Liu Zhenghe.

"Yes." Liu Zheng nodded.

"Then let's go." Li Shimin made a decision: "The recruitment will be recruited." Li Shimin decided to use Wei Zheng's opinion: "You come and implement it."

He said to Liu Zhenghui again: "Some of the water bandits in Poyang, Hongzhou have rebelled. You should first serve as the governor of Hongzhou, suppress the water bandits in Poyang, and station the troops in the second place, and train the water army. Third, I want to see the food there. If there is a severe drought, I will transfer the food from there."

When Liu Zhenghui heard this, he could do it, so he went from one place to another to another.

The quick knife cut the mess, Li Shimin asked them all to go back, leaving Li Dandao behind, and asked very seriously: "You said that you would give it to the aristocratic family and the big family? Do you have a way?"

Sure enough, Li Shimin was also afraid of the aristocratic families.

Li Dandao said, "Left and right are just policy measures."

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin almost made a little excuse.

"The first businessman can donate money and grain, which can be tax-free or even buy an official."

"Secondly, aristocratic families can buy jujubes if they donate money, grain or even land."

Li Shimin frowned: "This is the founding Lord, was it sent out so easily?"

Li Dandao said, "Anyway, you can't pay undue taxes. If you exploit the farmers, more people will rebel immediately. It is no different to be guilty of the people's hearts and losses, which means the fate of heaven."

Li Shimin sighed: "Now, the outside world knows that we are short of food."

"Waiting for a severe drought, it means there is really a shortage of food." Li Dandao spoke directly.

"There is another strategy here." Li Dandao said.

"For example, a family can only donate one title. If it is divided into sects, then you can get one more title."

"And this title has only been passed down for three generations, and the three generations have been given a title, and it is a title for the people. It only has titles and no fiefs, but it can be given a certain special treatment."

"The founding title is a lord, and he was awarded the title for his merits, according to the old rules."

"When you donate an official, you can just add some official names and insert them into the Sixth Ministry. What kind of official positions are you? You can get some meager salary and give some right to listen to policies, and don't give them real positions."

Li Dandao said: "You can't sell too much, just release a little place."

"In this case, I'm afraid the disaster will be very bad." Li Shimin asked, "But this plan has the merit of refusing grace." Li Shimin said, "You have to wait for the future to donate your title. Now the world is not decided. Those aristocratic families are waiting to be sold at a price. It is impossible to easily divide the sects. When I have settled my position, I will fight with them."

"Then donate to an official position. The disasters left are smaller. They are only targeted at those big businessmen. The descendants can also conduct imperial examinations with good families in the future." Li Shimin finalized it.

Then he said, "You really can't block the Turks?"

Li Dandao thought: "I'll look for fellow Taoists from the Three Mountains and Five Mountains to see if anyone can set up a formation. Set up a formation by the Wei River, but this is not a long-term solution."

"Okay!" Li Shimin sighed.

Li Dan walked out of the palace and climbed to the city wall to look at Qi.

I saw a ray of greedy wolf qi coming from north to south, faintly, with blood light from my hometown Jingyang.

Li Dandao's face turned dark: This is going to hit the doorstep!
