Chapter 1412 Are all 6 guards eating idle meals?
Chapter 1412 The sixteen guards are all idlers?
Fang Jun couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart!
Throughout history, His Majesty Li Er is extremely controversial.
On the one hand, killing brothers and killing brothers to force fathers to abdicate, and even bringing brothers' wives and concubines into the harem, is really a heinous person who has committed a lot of moral corruption.On the other hand, he was able to treat the heroes well and work hard to govern, and managed to create a "Zhenguan Reign" that would last forever after the chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty.
This person is full of contradictions, but there is only one thing that is extremely obvious - he cherishes his reputation extremely!This can be seen from his falsification of history books and his insistence on conquering Goguryeo despite dissuasion.
It is precisely because of this reason that His Majesty Li Er was hesitant and vacillating on the matter of Yi Chu, and he was always unable to make up his mind. It was not until the prince Li Chengqian completely lost his trust that he changed Jin Wang Li Zhi to be the prince.
He was afraid that the crown prince Li Chengqian would not be able to take on the important task of inheriting Li Tang's country for thousands of years, and he was even more afraid that the new crown prince would not even be as good as the crown prince Li Chengqian after Yi Chu... That would cause him to bear a fatuous and mean reputation. Affect its historical status as one emperor through the ages.
Although from the beginning to the end, he has not achieved the achievement of the emperor through the ages...
Fang Jun took advantage of His Majesty Li Er's hesitation.
On the one hand, he was hesitant on the matter of Yi Chu, and on the other hand, he was vacillating on whether to reprimand him for leaving Beijing... This may not be due to Fang Xuanling, but Fang Jun believes that it is more because of himself over the years The bonus brought about by a pile of dazzling achievements.
Relegating such a "capable minister" as himself to leave the capital is really a foolish thing that any wise emperor would not do.
His Majesty Li Er not only cherishes his reputation, but he is unwilling to bear the infamy of "squeezing out capable ministers", and he is also reluctant to leave such a loyal and outstanding minister idle, and even become a victim of political struggle...
That's why Fang Juncai put his heart on hold, and stood in front of His Majesty Li Er frankly and sincerely, urging him to make up his mind as soon as possible.
Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er is still a Mingjun of that generation, and he did not go his own way...
But Fang Jun didn't think it would stop there, he still had bigger plans in mind.
Taking a deep breath and bowing slightly, Fang Jun's clear voice filled the entire hall.
"Guanzhong is the land of capital and the foundation of the empire. If Guanzhong is stable, the world will be stable, and if Guanzhong is rich, the world will be prosperous. Since the founding of the country, the imperial court has repeatedly revised laws, reduced tax rates, built water conservancy, and even moved to Chang'an. In order to stabilize Guanzhong’s position as the center of the world. All of these are actually far-sighted policies that benefit the country and the people. However, when natural disasters raged every day, the imperial court responded with resignation and indifference. Rescue at the first moment of natural disasters will greatly damage the people's sense of belonging to the imperial court. Guanzhong is also a place surrounded by eight rivers, and there are countless floods every year, which prompts the people to leave their homes. Go to the safer lower reaches of the Yellow River or even the south of the Yangtze River to find a living... In the long run, the population of Guanzhong will inevitably decrease and all industries will wither, leading to the decline of Guanzhong..."
Guanzhong at this time is not the situation of lack of water sources in later generations. The rivers are densely covered with well-developed water networks. Once there is a year with abundant precipitation, the number of floods will be countless.The people lost their sense of security and were hit by floods, so they naturally left their homes and fled Guanzhong.
The war has disappeared on the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the world is peaceful. No matter where you are, you can get a bite to eat, not to mention the warm and humid Jiangnan is a livable place.
If things go on like this, the population of Guanzhong will inevitably decrease gradually, and the position of the center of the empire will be shaken. This is a matter of great importance to the country, how can it not be taken seriously?
His Majesty Li Er frowned, and said: "Although this matter is enough to attract attention, you are not the only one who can see the pros and cons of it clearly. Don't make a long story here, tell us quickly what strategy you have."
The center of the imperial court gathers the most elite people in the world, and there are always those with unique eyesight who can see the hidden dangers.
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, a 'disaster emergency command office' can be set up to take timely rescue in response to natural disasters. Although this move is limited to traffic factors and can only cover the Guanzhong area, it also happens to Let the people in Guanzhong feel the superiority, make the people everywhere feel proud of being in Guanzhong, and ensure the status of Guanzhong as an important place in the capital.
Throughout the dynasties, the imperial court has used various policy measures to ensure the stability near the capital and highlight the superiority of the residents of the capital to stabilize the political situation.
However, he himself did not believe what Fang Jun said. Even if Guanzhong was the best land in the world for several decades, it was impossible to violate the natural laws of social development and prevent the fact that the center of the empire gradually shifted from west to east.
Not only has there not been a unified dynasty since the Tang Dynasty to establish the capital of Chang'an, in fact, even in the time of Emperor Gaozong, the economic status of the eastern capital Luoyang has begun to steadily surpass Chang'an, which is an irreversible trend.
What's more, because of Fang Jun's arrival, the vigorous development of maritime trade has prompted this farming nation to enter the sea earlier, which will inevitably lead to the rapid rise of the coastal area, and the speed of economic center transfer will be accelerated. Chang'an can only gradually become a political center. exist.
The reason why he said these words is really with ulterior motives...
As soon as the words fell, I heard Changsun Wuji's questioning voice: "The Western Regions are not peaceful, and the imperial court is preparing for the Eastern Expedition. Regardless of manpower and material resources, they are already on the verge of review. At this moment, rashly adding another yamen will surely make all the imperial courts be caught. Elbow is really an unwise move."
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhao Guo misunderstood. This yamen does not need to be added out of thin air, and it is not even necessary to transfer personnel from the relevant ministries. It is just an additional signboard, which can completely allow officials from various ministries to concurrently serve."
Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "Could it be that Fang Shilang is talking in his sleep? Even if officials can hold several positions, how should the disaster relief personnel be allocated? They will not let officials from various ministries go to the disaster area. Not to mention whether this move will affect the court The number of people alone is not enough to deal with all kinds of sudden disasters. Hehe, let a group of ministers participate in disaster relief...it is indeed a good way to win people's hearts and improve cohesion."
The crux of the problem lies in manpower.
Not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although it inherited most of the political structure of the Sui Dynasty, the years of melee at the end of the Sui Dynasty had almost exhausted the last trace of vitality of the huge empire. The entire bureaucratic system was almost completely destroyed, and the Tang Dynasty could almost be said to be established. On top of the ruins.
Under such circumstances, even the various yamen in the central government are short of manpower, and there is no problem of redundant officials that has plagued the entire country in the middle of the dynasties.
Originally, the manpower of each department was limited, so how to get rid of a huge government office that involved the rescue of natural disasters in the whole Guanzhong?
All the ministers showed curiosity, wanting to see how Fang Jun would answer.
After all, judging from Fang Jun's consistent performance, if he is not sure, it is impossible to stand up so recklessly.This fellow is certainly a stick, but his ability is obvious to all, even those who hate him the most have to admit this...
Fang Jun's face was calm, and he said in a loud voice: "Mr. Zhao's words are reasonable. He really deserves to be the pillar of the empire. He has deep insights into the pros and cons of the Great Tang Dynasty. However..."
At this point, he turned around, and when the ministers were amazed that he was bragging for the eldest grandson Wuji, he shook his head and sighed, "... Zhao Guogong has been graceful for too long, and his thinking and style have become old-fashioned. , doing things only know how to stick to the rules, but don't know how to keep pace with the times and carry forward the past. In fact, the establishment of this "disaster emergency command office" only requires the relevant ministries to coordinate with each other to form a set of leading officials who can respond in a timely and accurate manner when natural disasters occur. As for the disaster relief manpower... how many 10 people are placed there, why worry about it?"
Hundreds of thousands of disaster relief personnel...
All the ministers in the palace were stunned, where can we find so many people?
Even His Majesty Li Er was puzzled, not knowing how Fang Jun conjured up "hundreds of thousands" of people.
The eldest grandson Wuji was so angry at Fang Jun's sarcasm, but at this moment he was so angry that he laughed out loud: "How dare you make such lies? The population of the whole Guanzhong is only 300 million, how dare you keep saying what? Ten thousand people are put there, is it because you are still hungover and talking nonsense, or is it because a certain old man has tinnitus and misheard the wrong number?"
Civil servants all thought that Fang Jun was talking nonsense. The entire population of Guanzhong was placed there. How could it be possible to mobilize tens of thousands of people to participate in disaster relief?
But the generals who sat on one side and acted as "mascots" every court meeting felt their hearts sink!
Is it...
Sure enough, Fang Jun didn't look at his eldest grandson Wuji, and said in a deep voice to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, the sixteen guards in Guanzhong and tens of thousands of troops are stationed in Gyeonggi. Gathering all the powerful soldiers in Guanzhong and controlling the state capitals in the world is the cornerstone of the stability of the empire." However, the area in Guanzhong is only [-] miles away, and the barrier formed by Xiongguan's natural moat is already impenetrable. In this case, why not use the unified command and dispatch of the imperial court in the area that can be reached quickly, with sixteen soldiers and horses Participate in the rescue of natural disasters?"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was shocked.
Changsun Wuji's eyes were about to burst, and he exclaimed, "The thief is so courageous! How dare you shake the world?"
