Chapter 577 Transformation

It is normal for Li Shimin to have such a reaction. In Chang'an City, there is no one with higher majesty than himself. He originally thought that he was loved by the people, but when this incident happened, he thought that he was a little wrong. Outrageous.

Li Shimin can be regarded as a wise king, but it depends on who he compares with. If Li Xiang had not appeared, then he would have really made a good Tang Dynasty, but if compared with Li Xiang, it would be a bit inferior. Enough to see.

Li Shimin achieved the reputation of Tian Khan, but this was just a false name. For the people of the entire Tang Dynasty, they did not get any benefits from it, but instead increased their burden.

Whenever various countries came to pay tribute, the imperial court would give them more gifts to make them feel the great love of the Tang Dynasty for them, but where did these gifts come from? Can there be more in the palace's warehouse out of thin air? This is absolutely impossible.

All the gifts are still added to the heads of the people. Although the amount added each year is not much, the accumulation is quite a lot.

Li Xiang did not choose to have this false name. Every step he took was real. A defeated country should have the consciousness of a defeated country. Why do your people enjoy the same things as ours?

Now in the street market of Chang'an City, goods from surrounding countries are almost full. However, due to the imperial court's pricing, goods from all countries are 20% cheaper than before in Chang'an City. This 20% price is The profits of each country, now that you are all defeated countries, then this profit must be given to the common people.

The common people really felt the benefits, so they all wanted to kowtow to Li Xiang spontaneously, and this was how the situation just happened.

Sometimes Li Shimin also reflected on it. Compared with what Li Xiang did, what he did seemed to be more impressive and reflected his abilities. However, he did not consider the gains and losses of the people. If he could The gains and losses of the common people allow them to gain more profits from it, and maybe they are the ones who are loved.

Furthermore, as for the family members of the army, Li Shimin originally fought in the north and south, but after every battle, many people who followed Li Shimin would die.

Even if the Tang Dynasty won the victory, someone in their family died, which meant that the family lost its backbone. Li Shimin's aftermath was not very good, which made the family fall into poverty. Even if you achieve good results, Our lives have become a mess, how do you ask us to support you?

Li Xiang also often fights in the surrounding countries, but the casualty rate in Li Xiang's army is very low. It has never been lower in history. Because of the blessing of new weapons, when Li Xiang fights with neighboring countries, his loss ratio even reaches An astonishing one to twenty.

Under such circumstances, the casualties were less than one-tenth of the original number. Even if someone died fighting for the country, in addition to the pension from the court, some organizations under Li Xiang would also provide new pensions to these families. And every month, the children who come into this home become adults.

If he had parents, Li Xiang would choose to provide for these people until they die. They not only fought hard for the Tang Dynasty, but also fought hard for Li Xiang. Li Xiang understood this very well. This is why the soldiers loved him. Who wouldn't want to What about following a coach like this?

They told their families everything about the army, and their families told the neighbors. This spread from ten to ten, and many people benefited from it. Their impression of Li Xiang became more and more important. Well, when Li Xiang entered Chang'an City, this good feeling finally broke out.

"Stand back first and keep an eye on these people. If there is any action, report it immediately."

Li Shimin is about to meet Li Xiang. This is not a simple meeting between the two men. Li Shimin has already regarded Li Xiang as a giant in the court. So in this case, these men in black cannot be on the stage. You must You have to step back.

These men in black also understand that no matter how important things they have done for Li Shimin, they cannot appear on such an important occasion because they are engaged in some disgraceful things. If they are brought to the table , it would appear that the entire Tang Dynasty still has a dark side.

"The grandson of Emperor Xuan comes to the palace."

Orders were conveyed layer by layer. Listening to the voices outside, Li Shimin felt a little more comfortable. No matter what achievements you have outside, you are only a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and I am. Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiang had different feelings when he listened to the voice inside. When he becomes emperor in the future, he shouldn't make these procedures so troublesome and should simplify them. Judging from the scene just now, Li Xiang feels that he needs to be closer. The common people know better what the common people want, so that they can continue their dynasty.

The grandfather and grandson came to different conclusions on a simple move, which shows the difference between the two. Li Shimin in history paid great attention to the thoughts of the people. When he did not travel through time, Li Xiang also Think this is true.

When Li Xiang traveled through time, he realized that Li Shimin only paid more attention to the common people than other emperors, but if he wanted to compare with himself, there was still a big gap, because Li Xiang, who had been a man for two generations, came out from among the common people. Yes, he understands the needs of the people better than Li Shimin.

Most of the ministers in the palace have retreated. At this moment, apart from Changsun Wuji who accompanied Li Xiang in, only Fang Xuanling is still here.

Li Xiang felt it when he was outside Chang'an City. This time when he came back, Li Shimin was deliberately simplifying his influence. Normally, in such an occasion, most of the officials in the court would be here, but at this moment there are only these few , even Li Chengqian didn't come. Li Shimin's intention can be imagined.

However, Li Xiang doesn't care much about this. In the past, he paid attention to these false names because his own strength was not very strong, so he had to rely on this to win over others, but now our strength lies here. , no one can shake our position, so why do we need those false names?

"Your Majesty, Li Xiang, see you."

To everyone's surprise, Li Xiang did not call himself grandson, but instead used such a title.

This seems to make sense, but it is a bit unreasonable. Who doesn't want to have a closer relationship with the emperor, doesn't Li Xiang want to?
