Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

Li Wan looked at Li Yi intently and asked in confusion:"What do you mean?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said to Li Wan:"Every male in the Tang Dynasty is the foundation of the family."

"Once the foundation is there, the house can’t be built."

"So, when a person dies, each male is given ten guan of money. What can ten guan of money be enough for? It is enough for my wife, children, and mother to live in poverty for ten years. Is this right? Li Wan nodded:"

Yes, if people from these poor families work hard, they can live for ten years with ten guan of money.""

Li Yi continued:"But in fact, widowed women still have to continue to work. The problem is that the economy is deteriorating. But now that the imperial examination system is reformed, poor families can rise."

"But have you ever thought that in this way, a situation where civil society is strong and military is weak will be born in decades or even centuries?"

"Isn't it the arrogance in the bones of Guanzhong Erlang that the Tang Dynasty relied on for its survival?"

"The military equipment cannot be weakened, and the lives of dead people cannot be so cheap."

"Fifty guan, I will increase the military money given to the dead to 50 guan."

Li Wan looked at Li Yi in shock, and then her eyes became a little loose.

But it was not over yet.

Li Yi continued:"Actually, the most difficult thing is not the dead people, but these wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs."

"If they survive, the family's expenses will be higher, because they can't work, so the family needs to support them. Li

Yi said calmly:"So military expenditures need to be reformed. The imperial court has the responsibility and obligation to provide subsidies to wounded soldiers every year.""

Hearing this, Li Wan suddenly stopped breathing.

Then he said excitedly:"On behalf of the entire Northern Xinjiang Army, I would like to thank you!"

"Your move is enough to make all the men in the army be grateful to you. Li

Yi said with a smile:"It's just a trivial matter. Datang has money now and needs to use it wisely.""

"Only a strong army can make a country strong, and everything should be supported by the economy. I actually don't know. Everything I did in the past was just to make myself more abundant.

Li Wan blurted out:"And then accidentally made this country rich?""

Li Yi:"Um...it seems that some Lao Wang is selling his own melons and boasting?

Li Wan shook her head solemnly:"No!" You did it right. Because of you, the Tang Dynasty developed and progressed at such a rapid pace. In the past, it was not that His Majesty was unwilling to perform political affairs, but that he was unable to perform them. In the final analysis, there was no money."

"Now the treasury is rich, enough is enough... everything is enough."

But Li Wan thought about it for a while and said,"Can the Ministry of Household Affairs allocate funds?"

Li Yi frowned.

In order to curb Changsun Wuji's power, Li Shimin had promoted Tang Jian to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, while Changsun Wuji controlled the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Throughout the ages, the power of the Ministry of Personnel has been overwhelming and can be mobilized National personnel appointments.

Li Shimin was afraid that after he left, Li Yi would not be able to play with Changsun Wuji in Chang'an, so he dragged Changsun Wuji to the Ministry of Household Affairs to maximize Li Yi's adaptation in Chang'an.

Li Yi shook his head and said:" should be okay."

After parting with Li Wan, Li Yi returned to the East Palace alone.

He found Shangguan Yi and said to Shangguan Yi:"Go to Shangshu Province and call Du Ruhui over.

Shangguan Yi nodded:"Okay!""

……

Household Department.

Because of Li Shimin's personnel changes before he left.

Changsun Wuji went to the yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs for the first time.

After working in the official department for a long time, Changsun Wuji's desire to control the official department has reached its peak.

But Tobe needs to explore slowly.

He has a certain rule when it comes to being an official. There are three things to do when a new official takes office. When a new official takes office, he must first establish his authority.

Without establishing authority, one cannot control the group of people under his command.

He just arrived at the Hubu Yamen today, and he summoned the left and right ministers, doctors, and principals of the Hubu.

This is the team of the Ministry of Finance.

The financial operations of the world are all in the hands of this group of people.

Changsun Wuji first scolded him several times, and then an indifferent doctor came to Changsun Wuji.

"Changsun Shangshu, now the death list of the first batch of soldiers has arrived at the Ministry of Household Affairs, and as usual, funds should be allocated. Changsun

Wuji squinted his eyes, looked at the doctor who was speaking, nodded and said,"Tell me, how much is it.""

The doctor from the Ministry of Finance looked at the memorial and said:"According to the allocation of ten guan per person, more than 10,000 people died in Longyou and more than 3,000 people died in northern Xinjiang. A total of 140,000 guan is needed."

Changsun Wuji slowly opened his squinted eyes, looked at the doctor from the Ministry of Finance, and said calmly:"Reduce military expenditures."

"ah?"

Hebei doctor said:"These are dead people's money... How to reduce it?

Changsun Wuji said sullenly:"I need your guidance in doing things?" Nowadays, the war between Tang Dynasty and Tubo is tense. Your Majesty is on the front line. I and Chu Suiliang need to have full control over all the equipment."

"The top priority is food and supplies. I have checked the account books and found that the expenditure on this group of soldiers is too serious. From today on, the number of casualties will be reduced to seven."

At this time, all the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs began to whisper.

Someone bravely said:"This... is not very humane. Changsun

Wuji put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the official from the Ministry of Revenue who was speaking,"What's your name?""

"The person in charge of the left side of the lower official household department is among them. Changsun

Wuji nodded:"You can take a vacation these days. You don't have to come to the Ministry of Household Affairs to order mao.""

"ah? This...this requires the Ministry of Personnel to issue a document. Changsun

Wuji said angrily:"I am not asking you to leave the Ministry of Husbandry when I ask you to take leave. Are the hands of the Ministry of Officials so broad?" I have been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for so long. Who knows the authority of the Ministry of Personnel better than me? After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone:"I just said that military expenditures will be reduced to seven guan per dead person. What do you say?" Are there any objections?"

Seeing no one spoke,

Changsun Wuji took a sip of tea and said,"I'll put it here. No one can stop this reform. My heart will always be only for Your Majesty. Who of you dares to object? That would be disloyal to His Majesty, okay, let’s break up!"

After the people left, Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes.

This move established authority, but the effect was immediate.

Although this group of people were still reluctant, no one dared to disobey Changsun Wuji's authority.

……

East Palace.

Du Ruhui came in a hurry, saw Li Yi, bent down and said,"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Yi smiled and went to help Du Ruhui himself:"Old Du, there are no outsiders here, why are you being so polite?"

Du Ruhui originally said I thought Li Yi would change as he became the prince and took control of the power.

Fortunately, he is still the same boy as before.

Li Yiyang moved the bench for Du Ruhui, then looked at Du Ruhui and said,"Dong Du, I want to reform the military expenditure."
