Chapter 110 The Prime Minister Makes an Informed Decision
The performance outside started, and fifty 'everyone' took turns to 'take the stage'.
The maids, backup dancers, and band who came with them also rotated back and forth.
Three places were opened at the same time, and the thugs from Pingkangfang were responsible for maintaining law and order, holding sticks in their hands.
The number of spectators is increasing, with people from Zhangjia Village running over, people from Huangzhuang and those who have been resettled.
On the other hand, there are relatively few people watching the bankers on Zhuangzi. Some people have already gone to bed, and they cannot delay the next shift's work by watching the performance.
Besides, it's not like I've never seen him before. I see him every day during military music practice.
There was faint movement in the main courtyard, but Li Longji, Queen Wang and Li Chengqi had no time to pay attention.
"Brother Yi, what should my relatives do?" Li Longji was very concerned.
"Third brother, after a while, His Majesty will find jobs for the five kings in the five princes' palaces. Princess Taiping's affairs are stable, and we cannot let the brothers sit idle."
Li Yi talked about another thing.
Li Chengqi looked at Li Longji again, meaning third brother, where do you want to place us?
Li Longji shuddered again, he really had this idea in his mood, Brother Yi...
"He will be given a state capital near Jingzhao Mansion and serve as a governor or something, like the King of Song. He is the governor of Qizhou at this time, but he will not go to Qizhou.
The other kings are also like this. They just put on a show, but the real people doing the work are the people from the original state capital. "
Li Yi continued.
Li Chengqi nodded in support, yes, I'm staying in your Zhuangzi now, and I didn't go to that shitty Qizhou.
I really went there, can Third Brother rest assured?
Li Longji nodded and asked Li Yi to say more, what do you mean?
"Actually, no matter what is wrong, we should at least address ideological issues, such as publicizing His Majesty's kindness, talking about the advantages of the Tang Dynasty, and the bitterness of other places.
Let the people feel a sense of happiness after seeing it, and at the same time ask the state government, which is responsible for it, to often provide measures on how to govern the people. "
Li Yi began to teach the three people how to gain a sense of existence as a governor without real power.
Li Chengqi's eyes were probably illuminated by the fire, making them extremely bright.
He felt like he had discovered a new world, oh, could he still play like this? Why didn't I think of that before?
Li Longji felt that he had gained a lot. Yes, he told the people of Tang Dynasty that the people of Tubo were suffering. You are stronger than Tubo. It is my contribution.
"Other relatives, like me, should follow suit?" Li Chengqi asked for his third brother.
"No, no, no." Li Yi waved his hand: "King Song, they really can't give real power to others. If they take real power, they can't shake His Majesty's position."
"Brother Yi, they won't do anything if they take real power. If it's you, Brother Yi, I'll give you a county and be at ease for my brother." Li Chengqi said.
"That's right. When my uncle governs a county, he is actually undermining his talents." Empress Wang absolutely supported it, and she was counting on her uncle to keep the baby in her belly.
"They don't know how. They can ask people who know how to help. For example, in Sanyuan County of Jingzhao Prefecture, they arranged for a relative to be the county magistrate.
Tell him that the county's fiscal revenue will double next year, the people's lives will be better, and the rich in the county cannot be exploited.
He was looking for another relative who he couldn't deal with, or even had a grudge against, and sent someone to check on him every few days.
His Majesty also sent people to investigate openly and covertly, and sent several groups of people. The former did not know the latter, and they would be rewarded if they caught the problem. "
Li Yi's idea was very bad.
Let the foreign relatives find people to make a place rich, and the hostile forces will supervise it.
Li Chengqi wiped his sweat and was shocked. Brother Yi, who usually looked so gentle, actually...
Sure enough, the prime minister is thoughtful and persuades people with virtue.
"Looking for capable people, capable people can definitely double the rent?" Li Longji thought that was not possible.
"It's okay for me to go. If it's doubled, I'd be blushing. They...so His Majesty should teach them at this time.
Teach them to collect business taxes, reduce the burden of the people, and vigorously promote retting fees, green storage, and new agricultural tools.
If they do well, they will be promoted and still have real power. At the same time, a few percent of the increased income after doubling will be given to them personally. "
Li Yi threw out the reform issue and asked his relatives to do it.
"What if they don't agree?" Li Longji was afraid that his relatives would unite to oppose him.
"Divide the relatives into parts, and be kind to one part specifically. Ask the good part if it is willing? If not, ask the other part if it is willing.
For example, if I have a mirror here and you give it to His Majesty, Your Majesty will reward a small number of people and make other relatives envious and jealous. "
Li Yi followed up with his ideas and divided them to win over each other.
Li Longji knows this, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to say.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay! Brother Yi's heart is indeed...loyal enough. He thinks about the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty." Li Longji wanted to say it was too dark, but quickly changed his mind.
Queen Wang knew what he meant and covered her mouth with a smile.
The sound outside was suddenly joined by drums, which became much clearer. Li Chengqi beat his legs with his hands. He was good at playing drums and liked music.
Then he suddenly woke up. The people outside were invited by those who refused to sell eggs that day and laughed at Yi Di.
It only cost 2,000 yuan to take advantage of Changsun Xin.
Otherwise, if fifty "everyone" leads the team to perform outside in the cold wind for one night, how can the appearance fee be two million?
Looking for connections, begging for help, and spending money is just because Yi Di fought back, so Yi Di...
After getting a good idea, Li Longji started drinking, and Queen Wang controlled her diet, and was taken to rest by the palace maid at about the same time.
Because Li Yi was still healthy and sleepy, he yawned, confessed his crime, and ran away.
Li Longji put down his wine glass, showed a relaxed expression, and said with emotion: "How many days have it been? I finally feel at ease for a moment."
Li Chengqi poured himself a cup of soup from the hot pot, UU reading www. uukanshu.net took a sip and then said, "Brother Yi is doing evil things, he is very sinister."
"Only in this way can you defeat others. If you are always kind, you will eventually be swallowed even to the bone." Li Longji narrowed his eyes.
He was also struggling to balance the power of the prime minister, and he still wanted to use Yao Chong. He knew that there were many wrong things that Yao Chong did, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"What will happen to Changsun Xin?" Li Chengqi asked about the person Li Yi said would die.
"Let's wait and see. See how domineering he is and seek death. There must be a sign." Li Longji did not want to change Changsun Xin's fate immediately.
He found this matter very interesting and enjoyed it.

At this moment, Song De led the villagers outside to collect livestock and place grain.
Horses are not good horses. They are definitely not good for fighting on horseback, but they are fine for pulling carts or plowing dry fields.
The cow is a little thin, the weather is cold, and it has not been fattened. Don't be afraid. Zhuangzi has a way.
The pigs are half-grown, which is when they can eat and then gain weight slowly. The boar has not been castrated and is smaller than the sow.
Needless to say, sheep cannot be killed, but they also need to be fed with good food for a while.
Apparently, they took advantage of the heavy snow and couldn't raise it elsewhere, so they bought it at a low price and paid the market price to apologize to Zhuangzi.
"You're a profiteer, you're in charge, but it takes a lot of stuff from the village to feed him."
Farmers who know how to raise their livestock shook their heads when they looked at the condition of the livestock.
If you kill, you won't get much meat. If you don't kill, you will get money.
"Don't be afraid. There is a snowstorm somewhere. The proprietor didn't say there was a major disaster, so there hasn't been one. They collect livestock from around Chang'an. After some time in the city, the price of meat will inevitably rise."
Song De has now learned to analyze the situation. Meat is expensive. If he sells the meat-eating things currently raised in Zhuangzi, he can earn back the money he spent on the materials. These will be raised until spring.
