After several cups of tea, outside the registration office.

Gu Tianya and Li Shimin stood side by side, hands clasped under a big tree beside the official road. Not far away was an ox cart, which was slowly driving towards the city gate.

Suddenly Gu Tianya let out a breath and said with a smile: "It's not easy, they finally got the registration documents!"

Li Shimin nodded and said with deep meaning: "Yes, it is not easy. But what is even more difficult is that you and I brothers have worked really hard to pretend. Fortunately, no one saw it through, otherwise it would be a big shame..."

The emperor paused for a moment while speaking, with a look of resentment on his face, and then said: "I am a majestic emperor, but I was scolded by a fat man. If this matter spreads, I am afraid it will be written down in the history books, even thousands of years later.

, and will be ridiculed and cowardly."

"Second brother, you are wrong. I don't think this is cowardice. On the contrary, it is a shining point in your life."

Gu Tianya glanced at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "If this matter is really written down in the history books, future generations will be filled with emotion after reading it. They may say, look, this is Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, a majestic emperor of the generation.

But he was able to do what he wanted, and with a generous heart, he pursued Yao, Shun, and Yu..."

Li Shimin was quite moved and said with gleaming eyes: "Really? Will future generations really comment on me like this?"

Gu Tianya slowly raised his head, looked at a white cloud in the sky, and continued to smile: "It will definitely happen, I can guarantee this."

Li Shimin was in a very good mood immediately.

At this time, I suddenly saw the little girl Li Mingzhu reaching out her hand, gently tugging at the corner of Gu Tianya's clothes, looking up and asking: "Uncle, there is something unclear about my niece. I want you to tell me, so as not to hold it in your heart and feel uncomfortable..."

Gu Tianya retracted his gaze, lowered his head to look at the little girl, and joked: "You are a smart little girl, and you were born with Su Hui. By saying you don't know anything, you probably want to create problems for your uncle, right?"

Unexpectedly, Li Mingzhu's face was solemn, and she shook her head solemnly: "No, uncle, I am really confused this time, so I want to ask you for help."

Gu Tianya's expression suddenly became serious. He has always paid the most attention to the cultivation of juniors, so his tone no longer joked, but said seriously: "Okay, you ask questions! No matter what the confusion is, uncle, I will try my best to help you answer it.

If even I can't answer it clearly, then let's go find someone else to ask. There are many knowledgeable people in the world, and someone will definitely be able to answer your question."

Li Mingzhu pursed her lips, shook her head slightly before speaking, and said: "No, you don't need to ask anyone else. You should be able to answer this matter, because it involves you."

Gu Tianya's heart moved slightly, and he instantly guessed the little girl's confusion. His eyes showed a touch of gentleness, and he said softly: "Is your confusion because of the group of migrating military dependents just now?"

Li Mingzhu turned to look at the official road, looking at the ox cart approaching the city gate, and said softly: "Yes, uncle. The reason why I am confused is precisely because of this group of military relatives... I had obtained the title of Baiqisi before.

The urgent report from the spies is that someone is making trouble in the registration courtyard here. As for the reason for the trouble, they want to illegally register the military dependents. At that time, my niece felt that this was not a big deal, so she hurriedly came to your study to disturb you. "

The little girl paused as she spoke, and then continued: "My original idea was to ask you to come and take a look in person. As long as you see Tan Jiu's noisy scene, you will definitely punish this violation severely.

And by punishing him, others will be deterred from making mistakes. In this way, no one will dare to touch the illegal registration loopholes in the migration of people."

The little girl paused again and said again: "But to my niece's surprise, you didn't punish Tan Shijiu at all after you arrived. Instead, you and the emperor's second uncle personally helped, and actually gave birth to this group of migrating army dependents.

idea……"

"And this is where my niece's confusion lies. I don't understand your intention of doing this. If you sympathize with those military families, you can help them privately. You don't have to act like this. You will ruin your own destiny.

Rules, right?"

"Breaking the rules is no small matter!"

The little girl said with a solemn expression and added: "We in Youzhou have no laws. Everyone knows that the rules you set are the laws. And throughout the ages, the laws are the foundation to ensure stability. As a result, you took the lead in breaking the rules yourself.

This doesn’t seem like your style, does it…?”

Gu Tianya listened with a warm smile and asked softly: "Is there more? Keep talking!"

Li Mingzhu took a breath and continued: "If you realize that your policy is inappropriate, then you can issue a decree to modify it... You are the master of the entire land of Youyun, and no one dares to disobey it.

Your will, so as long as you issue this kind of decree, any policy can be modified immediately. But why? Why don't you do this?"

The little girl raised her face, confusion flashing in her eyes, and said: "You would rather pretend to be ordinary people with your second uncle and make suggestions to the official Lao He to register in violation of regulations, but why are you unwilling to amend the decree? Could it be that you are doing this?

Are there any hidden worries?"

After Gu Tianya listened quietly to Li Mingzhu's question, he smiled slightly and said: "First of all, uncle, I want to answer you. There are no hidden dangers in doing this. The reason why your emperor's second uncle and I pretend to be ordinary people and give suggestions to people

I came up with the idea not to make a big splash, but to change this matter subtly..."

Li Mingzhu blinked, shook her head and said, "My niece didn't understand!"

Gu Tianya smiled and added: "Subtlely, to put it bluntly, it means quietly. It will not cause large-scale debates, nor will it arouse too many people's suspicions. Only when things are settled, will the people

You will be surprised to find that, hey, our Youzhou has a rule that is different from before."

Li Mingzhu continued to raise her face and asked: "Why is this?"

Gu Tianya breathed out slowly, stretched out his hand to gently stroke the little girl's hair, and taught softly: "Girl, you just said it yourself, the law is the foundation to ensure stability. And because it is the foundation, it is taboo to change the order day and night.

For example, providing subsidies for the relocation of military dependents was a policy that my uncle and I had just decided a month ago. My idea at that time was that a large number of soldiers would be stationed in Goguryeo from now on, and they could not be left alone and far away from their hometown, so I

I want to take over their families so that the soldiers will not suffer from homesickness..."

"It was based on this idea that my uncle and I formulated the policy of relocation subsidies. What I was thinking at the time was that the military dependents had two options to choose from after relocating!"

"The first choice is to settle in Youzhou first. They will get the household registration in Youzhou and regard this place as their new hometown."

"The second option is that after they settle in Youzhou, they can decide whether to go to Liaodong based on the actual situation and their inner wishes. For example, some women whose husbands are stationed in Goguryeo may want to reunite with their husbands there.

, From now on, the husband and wife will live in that land. But some women may choose to stay here in Youzhou, and they will live a better life bit by bit through their own efforts."

"In this way, Youzhou has truly become their new hometown. And their husbands are stationed in Liaodong and can go home to visit relatives every month. The biggest benefit of this move is to increase the centripetal force of the soldiers stationed abroad, allowing them to

They will always put their minds on Youzhou. Even though they are in Liaodong, they miss this place."

"Whether it is the first choice or the second choice, it will be of great help to our struggle for power and stability in Youzhou, but there is a prerequisite for these two choices, that is, the military dependents must be moved here first."

When Gu Tianya said this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed softly, saying: "However, the people of China are poor!"

Li Mingzhu seemed to have some enlightenment.

Just listen to Gu Tianya say again: "The so-called people are reluctant to abandon their homeland and it is difficult to leave their homeland. In fact, it is not that ordinary people are reluctant to abandon their homeland, nor is it that they insist on their homeland being difficult to leave... The main reason is poverty, and poverty is the biggest obstacle!"

"When poor people migrated throughout the dynasties, food and drink on the road was a big problem first. So when I formulated the policy, I first discussed it with your emperor's second uncle. We defined this migration as a business matter, not as military dependents.

With such a characterization, the migration must be led by local officials, and this matter will become their assessment and recorded in the Ministry of Household's official promotion books."

Li Mingzhu understood more deeply and couldn't help but whisper: "Since ancient times, the greatest desire of officials is to climb up. Since this matter will be recorded in the assessment, the governments everywhere will treat it seriously. In order to ensure that the military family members arrive safely

, they will send out government officials to escort them, and in order to prevent the military dependents from starving to death on the road, those officials will definitely give the military dependents enough money. With money, they can buy food and drink on the road. In this way

, the problem of eating for migrating people on the road is solved."

Gu Tianya nodded with a warm smile and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

He then added: "The second big problem in migration is the settlement of the people after they arrive. My idea at that time was to provide some subsidies to the people so that they could quickly overcome the difficulties and settle down in Youzhou as soon as possible.

Let’s settle down here. And because the rich and poor situations of the people are different, I made a distinction between the poor and ordinary people... The subsidies for the poor are extremely high, while the subsidies for ordinary people are relatively low."

He paused slightly as he spoke, then suddenly sighed softly, and then said: "But now it seems that my thinking at that time was a bit simplistic. When I formulated the classification of the poor and ordinary people, I failed to take into account the actual situation of the people.

For example, once you own pots and pans and have a certain amount of money when you move, you cannot be counted as a destitute person, but as an ordinary person..."

"This is a huge mistake by my uncle. How can the poverty of the people be divided by pots and pans? Even if they still have some money left when they arrive, they cannot be treated as ordinary people."

"Because this money is probably the only thing they have left, which they saved bit by bit while scrimping on food and clothing on the road. This little bit of money is their hope for the future, and it is the only confidence they have just arrived in this strange place like Youzhou."

"The little money they have will be spent very quickly, such as buying food, food and drink, renting a house to live. Since ancient times, money has been needed for food, clothing, housing and transportation. And when they spend money for food, clothing, housing and transportation, aren't they just a bunch of poverty-stricken people?

destitute people?”

"It's a pity that when the policy was formulated at that time, uncle, I didn't think of so much at the first time."

"In the following days, I was busy with countless government affairs every day. Once people are busy, they will ignore many things. Therefore, this policy was implemented."

"Until today, the first batch of migrating military dependents arrived. Tan Shijiu had a big fight with the officials at the registration office in order to help them get subsidies. And you, a little girl, are in charge of our Baiqisi in Youzhou. You immediately

He ran to my study to report this matter to me. At that moment, uncle and I suddenly woke up and realized that there was something wrong with my policy..."

When Gu Tianya said this, he reached out and stroked Li Mingzhu's hair again, and said warmly: "Girl, uncle, I want to thank you. If it weren't for your timely notification, it might take a long time for this matter to reach my ears, and

At that time, there must be many migrant military dependents who have arrived, and they will be registered as ordinary people because of my erroneous policies... they will not be able to enjoy extreme poverty subsidies, leading to a life of poverty."
