Chapter 400 Confrontation!
These Yizhou officials who came to Chang'an with Li Yan were somewhat worried about this strange place, fearing that the new and old government affairs system would lead to confrontational conflicts. The establishment of a new army made Li Yan and other old subordinates feel at ease. Similar to the new army in the army, Li Yan planned to establish a new organization in the government affairs system. These organizations may have no rights for the time being, but in the future, Li Yan will slowly hand over the power to them and finally let them take over the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty.
He discussed preliminary strategies with the officials of Yizhou. The next day, Li Yan went to the morning court for the first time. He introduced officials from Yizhou and announced the construction of a new army and a new government agency. The old system was as usual, which made the Chang'an officialdom that had been noisy for three months finally quiet. They would not have thought that Li Yan used a method of boiling frogs in warm water to slowly end the old system. When they discovered this, they would have to accept their own destiny.
In addition to making efforts in the officialdom, Li Yan also made a step by step among the people. The principle of winning the people's hearts is feasible in any era. A series of policies such as reducing taxes, exempting labor, and free admission have begun to be implemented in the Tang Dynasty. Now the people of the Tang Dynasty have long known the various preferential policies of Yizhou through word of mouth. Now that these policies are on their heads, they are all grateful to the prince Li Yan.
Of course, Li Yan's policy of neither increasing source nor reducing expenditure was strongly opposed by Chang'an officials, who believed that Li Yan was the strategy to destroy the country. However, now Li Yan is rich in the world, and his warehouses in Yizhou are piled up like mountains. It is enough to take out a little money from the bank to agricultural taxes for more than ten years. In addition, Somalia keeps bringing him money, how could he care about the ridiculous opposition of these officials?
After Guan Yi revealed the fiscal revenue of Yizhou for one year, these officials shut up collectively. Then, the officials were surprised that Li Yan raised their monthly salary. In the past, the monthly salary of officials was mainly composed of three parts. The first one was naturally copper coins, and the next two were rice and silk cloth. However, now Yizhou's textile industry and agriculture are developed, which has depreciated these two things too much, especially silk cloth. It seems that they cannot compare with copper coins at all.
Officials did not object to this policy. Some people opposed it. Their own monthly salary increased. Only fools would not want it. After enjoying the benefits brought by Li Yan's reign, more and more officials turned to Li Yan's side. After all, people are always profit-seeking, and the ruler can bring them more benefits, so they will follow whoever they follow.
However, although most of the policies introduced by Li Yan were recognized, many policies were still strongly opposed, and the most quarrel was the problem of the school. Li Yan began to accept students at various branches in Chang'an shortly after he was in power, but then the problem arose. The ministers opposed poor children and powerful children studying in the same school. Moreover, in less than a month, several incidents of powerful children oppressing poor children in the school, which made Li Yan very angry.
"Punish all the powerful and powerful children who beat others to retreat. The injured people will deal with them according to the criminal law." Li Yan was quite annoyed after reviewing the memorial handed over by Wu Houting.
Su Mo'er was holding Li Yan's shoulders behind Li Yan. After the Chang'an branch was put into use, she moved to Tai Chi Palace with Cui Yingying, Liu Yanyu and others. Cui Yingying lived in the Yanxi Palace before, Su Mo'er lived in the Ziyun Pavilion before Yang Fei, and Liu Yanyu lived in the Ningyun Pavilion. Yizi and the three princes also returned to Chang'an because they were not young. Li Shimin asked them to open their own palaces, but only Yizi lived in the Daming Palace. After returning to Chang'an, the four of them continued to go to school. At the same time, many noble children who had gone to Yizhou to study.
Su Mo'er felt helpless in her eyebrows and said softly: "Your Highness calms down, don't get angry. This is not worth it. I will let Wu Hou deal with this matter immediately. What should I do if the ministers who are kneeling outside the Tai Chi Palace?"
"It's so outrageous that they will keep kneeling, these old stubborn people." Li Yan cursed. After Li Yan firmly disagreed with separating poor children from powerful children, a group of ministers knelt outside the Tai Chi Palace, saying that if Li Yan disagreed, they would not kneel down.
Su Mo'er snorted softly and said, "It should be a bit of a crime for them. It's too hateful to dare to threaten Your Highness like this."
Li Yan has read a lot of historical books over the years. Such tricks are not uncommon in history, but are everywhere. On the surface, it seems to be a different opinion on a certain decision, but in fact it is a dispute between the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers. If Li Yan makes concessions at this time, then such good shows will come one after another in the future. Therefore, even if Li Yan makes a wrong decision, he will not regress, let alone he is not wrong.
Making up his mind to ignore these ministers, Li Yan thought of the matter of Wuhou and said to Su Moer: "This Wuhou is like the new army. Try to recruit new personnel as much as possible and do not make any mistakes. For safety reasons, the Wuhou in Chang'an will not allocate firearms like Yizhou. He only uses the Wuhou equipment eliminated by Yizhou to avoid some unnecessary trouble."
Su Mo'er nodded slightly.
As the two were talking, a eunuch walked in and said that it was Wang Yinlong who was asking for a meeting.
Su Mo'er showed an unpleasant look. She was rarely able to be with Li Yan, so she wanted to stay with Li Yan for a longer time, but when Wang Yinlong came, she had to leave.
Li Yan grabbed Su Mo'er and said, "Wait a moment, there is still something you need to handle with Wang Yinlong."
As he was talking, Wang Yinlong suddenly rushed in, took a few steps and threw himself on the ground, crying loudly: "Your Highness, you must make the decision for the old minister."
Li Yan looked at Wang Yinlong who was lying on the ground and frowned: "What's wrong? What's the point of crying like this? How can you be so swearing like this!"
Wang Yinlong raised his head, his eyes were blue, his nose was red, and his appearance was even funny. When Su Mo'er saw it, he burst out with a "puke".
"Your Highness, Xiao Yu is relying on his seniority. I just said a few words to the poor scholars at the entrance of Tai Chi Palace. Xiao Yu and some officials attacked people. Your Highness, look." As he said that, Wang Yinlong also pointed to his dark eyes, looking miserable.
Wang Yinlong's personality is clear, and he can't rub sand in his eyes. The most taboo is that others look down on people from poor families. However, in Chang'an, the officialdom is because the officials from Chang'an are not talking about it on the surface, but there are many people in the inner world who look down on him. He is extremely annoyed about this. Therefore, in the school matter, he and the group of people led by Xiao Yu were incompatible. They had several quarrels in the morning court to fight for a breath.
Li Yan looked at Wang Yinlong without saying anything, and Wang Yinlong looked at Li Yan with a gaze, but the more Li Yan looked at him, the more guilty he felt. As the saying goes, honest people have two bad intentions. It was not all because of Xiao Yu's beating this time, but part of the reason was his own. He saw that Xiao Yu annoyed Li Yan in this matter and deliberately added fuel to the fire.
Although Xiao Yu was pedantic, he was a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty. He still couldn't do the matter of beating people. Wang Yinlong was his confidant, but Li Yan would not be blinded. He said: "I understand. I will deal with this matter seriously. You are here just right. The Supervisory Office should be established as soon as possible to take the case trial from the governor and county magistrate. This professional matter should be done by professionals. Su Moer, cooperate with the Supervisory Office and Wuhou, and establish the cooperation mechanism between the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate and the Court. Only then can we deal with some people who do not abide by the law."
Wang Yinlong thought Li Yan would be furious, but he didn't expect that Li Yan would look as if he knew everything. This made him feel more guilty and climbed up from the ground. He bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness, this time I am going to talk about this."
"Well, since Su Mo'er is here, let's discuss it together. I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while." Li Yan stood up and stretched.
Wang Yinlong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything after all. He left with his body bent. Seeing Wang Yinlong frowning and pondering, Su Moer said, "Gei Wang, your highness is no longer your first arrival in Yizhou, and some things are hidden from him." After that, he turned around and left with a smile.
Wang Yinlong smiled bitterly, thinking that his beating would be in vain. He was at the gate of Tai Chi Palace just now, and he deliberately spoke rudely. He learned that Xiao Yu was most afraid of others calling him a slave in the field, so he scolded him after three words, "Shangguan Ge Lao, Shangguan Ge Lao, you will kill me." Wang Yinlong shook his head. (To be continued)
