Li Zhi was quite surprised. He had never seen such a blatant party-building privacy as Han Yi. This major event of national reform will become your private matter when it comes to you. Then what else do you have to do, as the emperor? You have the final say.

But everything has two sides.

Any reform of the dynasty will face the division of the court into two factions of innovation and conservatism, which will lead to failure of reforms. The national strength will be completely lost due to the internal friction of the ministers, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

This kind of private communication can prevent this from happening.

Moreover, Jianzhou is not an important state, and it has been in Bashu. It is considered a remote area. Even if there is any mistake, it will not affect the overall situation. This kind of privacy of gangs will not pose any threat to the court. It can only be regarded as a special relationship between the central and local governments.

Next, Xiao Shougui is also Li Zhi's nephew. Although he is older than Li Zhi, he is also a family with him. In addition, Li Zhi also knew that Han Yi could not fight alone. Han Yi almost offended all the ministers in the court for his imperial power. This prime minister was too lonely and could only use minor officials when employed people. This is what Li Zhi owed Han Yi. If the local government did not give him support, the prime minister would not be able to continue to be regarded as the prime minister.

This seemingly incredible advice won Li Zhi's sympathy. Han Yi was so pitiful. The court was full of enemies, not even a single gangster, and he could only rely on his wife's side, and the wife's side was demoted.

But Li Zhi of course also remembered why Xiao Shougui became the Sima of Jianzhou, and he had to consider Queen Wu's feelings.

Wu Meiniang showed agile thinking at this moment and smiled: "This method is really clever. Gradually, step by step, and use it to exchange the highest return at the smallest price." As she said that, she smiled at Li Zhi and said: "It seems that His Majesty used merchants to manage finances, which was really a wonderful step!"

Li Zhi laughed and said, "Is the Queen praising me or Han Yi?"

Wu Meiniang replied cleverly: "I don't know if Your Majesty thinks it is important to be a thousand-mile horse or a Bole."

Han Yi hurriedly said: "Of course it is important for Bole."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang both laughed.

Wu Meiniang had already nodded and agreed. Li Zhi had no worries at all and said, "Okay, you just follow what you said."

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Han Yi took out a memorial from his sleeve and said, "This is a detailed charter on the reform of the Wei ministers. Please check it out."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Even the memorial is ready, you are so sure that I will agree to you."

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty is a wise and wise king. He has never been willing to be in the status quo. He has always been pursuing hard work to govern. I hope that my Tang Dynasty will go further. I am just following Your Majesty's pace."

"You kid really know how to talk!"

Li Zhi smiled, took the memorial, opened it and read it.

Han Yi said: "Weichen's suggestion is to first use Luoyang as well as Yangzhou and Jianzhou to form a stable triangular structure, which also includes the Yangtze River Basin, Huaihe River Basin, and the Yellow River Basin. It is connected north and south and connected east and west, and will also include remote areas into the Central Plains, that is, expand the Central Plains region, so that our Tang Dynasty can have enough national strength to move to the farther Western Regions."

This is not a simple sentence, it was something Han Yi had thought about in advance, and directly talked about the thoughts of Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi.

Li Zhi definitely had ambitions, but he never showed his cleverness. Because if he didn't say it, he would not be under great pressure. Emperor Wu of Han yelled every day to kill the Huns, but he couldn't stop later. After all, he said this. Even the Huns knew that Emperor Wu of Han wanted to kill them. Li Zhi would not do this, do it if he had the opportunity, and endure it if he didn't have the opportunity. The territory of the Tang Dynasty was the greatest during the Tang Dynasty. If he had no ambition and was willing to be willing to be in the status quo, it would be impossible to lay such a large territory. Therefore, there is no doubt that Li Zhi really wanted to break through the Western Regions and achieve great achievements that even Emperor Wu of Han could not accomplish. The Western Regions have always been a century-old plan of the Central Plains dynasty.

So how can I say it? All the world is the king's land. All the land is the king's minister.

Expanding the Central Plains is to expand the center of the empire, which is equivalent to building a more stable and powerful central government, which is qualified to move towards the Western Regions. If the center is just that little, you have to go too far and you can't control it.

This strategy made Li Zhi very moved.

The reason why Wu Meiniang was moved was that she was unwilling to be in Chang'an, not only because Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Wuji was just a representative figure. Chang'an has experienced several dynasties, and the aristocratic power has been deeply rooted and complicated, and it can move the whole body. She was also a little helpless and went to Luoyang to establish a new system. For example, in an old house, mice are rampant, with holes everywhere, and you can't block them. Instead of spending time and effort to catch mice and block holes, it's better to move just so that you can get it once and for all.

Since everyone is happy, there is no reason to refuse. After all, it is just an acting governor of Jianzhou.

Li Zhi agreed

Xiao Mansion.

"Brother-in-law, you-all of your words are true? Did Your Majesty agree?"

Xiao Shougui was shocked when he heard this. This court was really my brother-in-law!

Han Yi nodded and said, "Your Majesty will transfer the governor Chen of Jianzhou to Longyou Road. Now there is an official there, so I will order you to take charge of Jianzhou. However, this redirection does not include other reasons, but only policy needs. Your Majesty needs you to cooperate with the work of my Ministry of Revenue. Therefore, you must do this job well, otherwise we will only lose more than we will."

Xiao Shougui was not only a little nervous when he heard this, and said, "I don't know if this is OK."

"Actually, this is very simple. You should have heard about the recent proposal of the Ministry of Revenue for the Supplementary Land, but this is only one aspect, and the other aspect is the Supplementary Land.

“Sow it according to people?”

"good!"

Han Yi nodded and said, "As a governor, what you have to do is actually very simple. It is to let the people under their jurisdiction live a good life, which is enough. Then the first thing is to help the poor. There are basically two types of poor people in our Tang Dynasty. One is the people who do not have much land, and the other is the people who do not have land. How can we help these lands not enough to support our own farmers?

Then we must start from the land. For example, if we grow grains per acre, we can only produce a value of several hundred cents a year. However, if we grow sugarcane, the value will be several times more, so that those people with a few fields can produce more wealth. This is the central idea of ​​suitable seeds for people, and then we can quickly see the results."

Xiao Shougui seemed to understand and said, "Grow sugarcane?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Yes! Planting sugarcane. Sugarcane is not valuable, but sucrose is valuable. Sugar is the need of the rich. Another key point is that sucrose is suitable for transportation. If it is just sugarcane, it will easily break down from the land of Bashu to Chang'an. Therefore, if you want to plant crops that can be preserved and transported, I also know that there is a kind of flower suitable for cultivation there. This way, it can extract oil. Oil is also suitable for long-term transportation. At that time, there will naturally be merchants who will bring grain and money to build workshops there, so that it can also help those people without land find employment.

However, before that, the government must give these people subsidies, that is, to give them food and to transform into farming economic crops, but this is not for nothing for the government. After the farmers turn the crops into money, the government can recover their own interests. In fact, this is not very difficult. The key is to get the details. Brother, you are as famous as yours. This task is very suitable for you."

Xiao Shougui smiled embarrassedly and said, "Don't praise me, I'm far from you. Today, the merchants say that you are the best in the world in business. If you say you are valuable, you must be valuable. Brother still believes in you. But have you ever thought about whether it is suitable for planting in the land or for people, the cultivated land will be reduced and the grain will be reduced. If the country needs food, someone may point the finger at you."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Brother, the people of the Sui Dynasty shouted that there was no food every day. That brother has never seen him. The landlord shouted that there was no food. There was never a shortage of food in the world. It was just that the grain was hoarded in the hands of a few people. Isn't it just to use geographical advantages to plant advantageous crops? Isn't it just to take out the grain from those merchants? The arable land has decreased, but the food on the market will only increase."

In fact, in addition to this, he also had rice escorts. The Tang Dynasty had a small population and a vast territory. As long as the trade routes were open and the grain was no longer limited to the region, he really didn't believe who would starve to death.

Then Han Yi had a careful conversation with Xiao Shougui, and also told Xiao Shougui not to publicize it and to act in a low-key manner. This is not the court's policy, but the three fires after you took office. You must not pull the emperor into the water. If you have any fault, we two brothers will take it.

Soon, the imperial edict from the court was released. As far as official positions were concerned, this was actually insignificant and most people did not pay attention to it, but it immediately attracted everyone's attention, because Xiao Shougui returned to Chang'an and was promoted immediately, and fools knew that Han Yi was planning it.

The people from the Xiao family of Lanling immediately came to the Duke of Song to congratulate him. In fact, they came to curry favor with Han Yi. You kid are so shameless. If you disagree, you will let your brother-in-law jump from a free job to a governor. We relatives love you as shameless, and it is too terrible to be with you.

For a time, it was crowded.

But it attracted a lot of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Especially Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and others, Han Yi promoted his brother-in-law so shamelessly. If this continues, Han Yi's family will dominate and we will be finished.

But they do not have the ability to formulate policies. They are all well-written and read a lot. They can definitely speak eloquently when talking about the past and present. At most, they have strong administrative skills and are good at party struggles. However, they lack the ability to formulate policies. They are not like Han Yi. One policy on the left and the other policy on the right are endless. The emperor can only constantly reuse Han Yi, but they cannot take a policy out of them.

Thinking about it carefully, Xu Jingzong found his nephew Wang Dejian, his uncle, who had been prime minister for so long, would he have to make a national policy or something?

Wang Dejian is known as a think tank. Although it is derogatory, he must still have some skills. Please stop Xu Jingzong quickly. Don’t be crazy. If you want to have a good Northwest plan like Han Yi, you can have a good time. If you don’t have a good time, you will dig your own grave. As a prime minister, you must actually learn from Changsun Wuji. You don’t seek merit, but you only want no mistakes, and seek progress in stability. If not, why can Changsun Wuji be prime minister for 30 years? If you follow Han Yi’s stupid guy, he will only make you fall off the cliff. That’s how Han Yi started his business. He doesn’t have our background. If he doesn’t do this, he can’t even set foot in the court, let alone become prime minister.

Xu Jingzong thought about it, so he didn't want to be a traitor within Ashina Helu, but it was not the same thing to allow Han Yi to promote relatives so unscrupulously!

Wang Dejian thought for a moment, then suddenly made a plan and said, "Uncle, have you forgotten something?"

Xu Jingzong was stunned and said, "What did I forget?"

Wang Dejian said: "Prince!"

"Prince?"

Xu Jingzong was stunned at first, and suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, as if he understood something.

Wang Dejian said: "This son is based on his mother's honor. Wang is dead. The current crown prince will move out of the Eastern Palace sooner or later. It is the general trend. However, when His Majesty was thinking about Wang's tragic death, he felt guilty. Therefore, you did not adopt your uncle's suggestion. Now that time has changed, why don't your uncle propose to make the Dai king the crown prince? Then the queen will definitely ask you to be the crown prince's teacher. This crown prince is the future monarch, and there will be many ministers leaning against his uncle at that time."

Xu Jingzong was so happy that he heard this. This idea was so wonderful. This was our routine.
