Reform, throughout the ages, has always been a rhetorical word.

When Du Ruhui heard Li Yi say the word 'reform', he trembled all over.

He knew that Li Yi had just taken the throne and was eager to express himself.

But now is not the time, after all, Li Shimin is still in office.

He thought for a while and said to Li Yi:"I feel that it is safer to follow all the rules."

Li Yi nodded and said to Du Ruhui:"I know what you mean, please listen to what I have to say first."

"What I call reform won't hurt our muscles and bones, it just raises military spending."

"For every deceased male in each household who died while serving in the army, his pension will be increased to fifty guan per person."

"Those injured in war will be given corresponding annual labor subsidies depending on the seriousness of their condition.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Du Ruhui and said,"Can you understand what I said?""

"Now that Datang's economy is growing rapidly, I believe that this increase in military spending will definitely increase the combat effectiveness of frontline soldiers.

Du Ruhui looked at Li Yi blankly:"Is that all?" Li Yi nodded:"

I told you, it won't hurt your muscles and bones, that's all.""

Du Ruhui didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes gave out complicated looks.

After a long time, he clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Li Yi:"On behalf of all the people, and on behalf of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, I would like to express my gratitude to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Yi smiled:"Actually, Your Majesty can also think of it, but the war is tight and he didn't think about it."

"Okay, you go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to negotiate a plan and finalize this matter as soon as possible."

Du Ruhui said excitedly:"I will go to the Ministry of Finance now."

"Um"

……

Du Ruhui first went to the Secretary's Prison, found Ma Zhou, and informed Ma Zhou about Li Yi's military expenditure reform.

After Ma Zhou heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he said seriously:"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done a good deed. Whether it is to win the hearts of the people or to really think about the Tang army, this reform has no harm at all." , I believe the Hubu side will happily agree."

Du Ruhui nodded:"Let's go with me to the Hubu Yamen to find Changsun Wuji."

Ma Zhou nodded, and the two of them walked straight to the Hubu Yamen.

Hubu Yamen.

Changsun Wuji drank tea leisurely.

When he first arrived at the household department, he had to smooth out everything little by little.

In fact, all yamen, in the final analysis, achieve such a high position, which is to control people's hearts and manage personnel.

In this regard, Changsun Wuji has strong experience in the official department.

Therefore, it is not difficult to manage the household department.

No, this morning, I used the matter of military expenditures to establish my authority in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Now among the people in the household department, who is not obedient to his eldest son Wuji?

After the affairs at the Ministry of Revenue are settled, Changsun Wuji will start to think deeply about the issue of establishing a reserve.

Although Li Yi has moved into the East Palace, Li Shimin has not confirmed his position as prince after all.

Everything is possible.

Changsun Wuji was very ambitious. He wanted to assist a puppet to rise to power. Li Yi was obviously not the person he should assist.

Throughout the entire royal family, only the timid Li Zhi caught the eye of Changsun Wuji.

Just like what Hou Junji said to Changsun Wuji at the end.

Why didn't Changsun Wuji play a role in promoting the prince's rebellion?

Changsun Wuji had long seen the prince's resentment, and had already begun to pay attention to and monitor Li Chengqian.

In fact, he saw every move Li Chengqian made.

As Li Chengqian's uncle, Changsun Wuji had no scruples about personal affairs and watched Li Chengqian step by step towards the abyss.

Why?

Li Chengqian is difficult to control.

Just like Li Yi, who is now strong, he is also difficult to control.

When Changsun Wuji closed his eyes and thought deeply, Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou came.

Changsun Wuji said with a smile:"You two are busy with everything, how come you have time to come to my household department?"

Du Ruhui said:"There is something, your highness, the prince told me to discuss with your household department and call all the people from the household department.."

Changsun Wuji nodded:"Come here, call all the officials above the principal level."

It didn't take long.

The personnel gathered in the duty house.

Everyone whispered and looked at Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou curiously.

Du Ruhui coughed lightly and said,"His Royal Highness has decided to reform military expenditures."

"For all soldiers who died in the war, their subsidy will be increased from ten guan to fifty guan."

"For wounded soldiers, depending on the situation, the court would provide a subsidy to male males in each household every year to achieve the normal labor income of male males."

Bang!

Changsun Wuji's face immediately turned red.

It was as if an invisible hand was fanning his face hard and crazily.

He had just established his authority in the Ministry of Household Affairs by cutting military expenditures today.

Now Li Yi is coming to dismantle him. My own stage?

Changsun Wuji’s face immediately dropped.

"Nonsense! How can the Ministry of Accounts have so much money?"

"Especially the second item, the annual subsidy for wounded soldiers. How can this be true throughout the ages?

Du Ruhui said:"Now we have it. This is the oral instruction of His Highness the Crown Prince. I am here to discuss with you how to allocate funds, not to ask for your consent." Changsun Wuji said with a face:"

Your Highness?" Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Du

Ruhui ignored Changsun Wuji, looked at the officials in the Ministry of Revenue and said,"Is there another chief?" Why didn't you come?"

Everyone was frightened. They looked at each other, and finally someone stood up and attacked Changsun Wuji.

"Returning to Prime Minister Du, in the morning, Changsun Shangshu wanted to reduce military expenditures and changed the subsidy for sacrificing soldiers from ten to seven. However, the chief objected and was forced to take leave."

Du Ruhui looked at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji said angrily:"I made the decision!"

"Nowadays, the frontline accounts are tight. As a baggage officer, I try to maximize all military expenditures to the frontline. What's wrong?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the group of household officials indifferently.

Are you rebelling?

Want to attack me in a group?

Are you qualified?

Du Ruhui said:"Now that your majesty is not in Chang'an, I and the eunuch, the prince, are in charge of the government. The prince means so, Please be longShangshu cooperates. Changsun Wuji said with a gloomy face:"

I told you, who is the Crown Prince?" Has His Majesty established a prince?"

Du Ruhui was a little embarrassed.

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue had just spoken uprightly, but now they were a little timid.

Seeing this, Ma Zhou glanced at Du Ruhui, then quietly left the Ministry of Revenue and went straight to the East Palace.

……

East Palace.

Ma Zhou informed Li Yi of the situation in the household department one by one.

Li Yi became furious after hearing this:"Cutting military expenditures? I'm sorry Sun Wuji, a pig like Chang, can think of this.""

"Come with me to the Ministry of Finance to have a look!

Ma Zhou nodded:"Okay!""
