    Yunyao brought up the idea of ??delegating the prince to conduct assessments. She said it easily, but it was a big problem for the emperor.  After all, it is unprecedented and without any empirical reference, no one knows how it will develop.  Especially now that the nobles and powerful people from all over the world have not been resolved, will the prince collude with the powerful people from all over the country to form a force?

    "Tell me why you have this idea. Do you really just want to help the prince?" Li Shimin wanted to ask his daughter how she came up with this idea.

    "Actually, it's not just about helping the prince. I also have some selfish motives, which is to develop the backward areas." "Father, we have all read the history books. The intrigues and confrontations in them are not just confrontations between monarchs and ministers.  It¡¯s also a confrontation between different areas. I think my father knows this better than me.¡±

    Li Shimin nodded. He naturally knew that even the Li family developed from Taiyuan.

    "Then there is a question, is it better for the monarch to be in the city or in the countryside?" Yunyao asked.

    Li Shimin said: "Cities are naturally better because they can concentrate supplies. During a war, you can get supplies by capturing the city, and you can also cut off the opponent's supplies. Although the countryside produces food, it is scattered and scattered, and the army cannot provide enough supplies when passing by.  . And the city can also provide more soldiers, making it easier to form combat power." He considered it from a military perspective, but it was easy to become emperor after controlling the military.  Li Shimin controlled the military and then successfully ascended the throne.

    Yunyao thought that it was indeed the monarch's idea, but he was right. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the monarch had the strongest control over the city. By the Song Dynasty, the city had developed to a completely new stage. It was once thought that the Song Dynasty had capital.  ism sprouts.  Of course, the cities of the Song Dynasty and the emergence of capitalism were completely different things. Having money and big cities did not mean that they had the ability to upgrade industries.  The big cities in the Song Dynasty were already very complete, but the prosperity of the big cities was based on the plunder of the countryside, so the Song Dynasty was also the dynasty with the most peasant uprisings.

    At least until the Song Dynasty, there was no way for cities to feed back the countryside.  In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang went against the development of urbanization. He promulgated the fish scale book, which actually meant that household registration could not be moved casually. It meant that people and wealth should be kept in place as much as possible instead of moving.  Because once there is mobility, urbanization is inevitable.

    Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang¡¯s method is very crude, because although the immobility of talents and wealth can avoid urbanization, it cannot make full use of the resources and make further development difficult.  Zhu Yuanzhang was for social stability. After all, although urban singing and dancing in the Song Dynasty were peaceful, rural uprisings continued, which was not what he wanted.

    Although the cities of the Tang Dynasty were not as exaggerated as those of the Song Dynasty, problems already existed.

    Someone may want to ask why there was no such thing before the Tang Dynasty, because in the past, the land in various places belonged to the nobles, and the nobles would not leave the land.  But after the emergence of the scholar class, their mobility was much higher than that of the nobles. Why were there so many poems about derogating officials in the Tang and Song Dynasties?  Isn't it because scholars have become mobile?

    These scholars left behind various famous sayings that later generations of students must memorize and write down, but behind them they represent the beginning of an era.

    Talents and wealth have flowed on a large scale. Unlike in the past, when nobles stayed and worked on their fiefs, they had to find ways to bring the benefits back to their fiefs, because a strong fiefdom was the most beneficial choice for the nobles.  The nobles will want to make themselves stronger. Land is their foundation. Although they will not share benefits with farmers, they will find ways to carry out infrastructure construction on their fiefdoms.

    In the era of scholars, scholars could move around with their wealth, so they would definitely choose the place with the best conditions to gather, and cities would definitely be their first choice.  The emperor was also happy to see the city grow bigger. After all, the emperor had the strongest control over the city. The bigger the city, the stronger the emperor was.

    When the Fish Scales were opened in the Ming Dynasty, everyone stopped moving casually. Urbanization was naturally blocked. Then there was the development of various second- and third-tier cities. The two capitals of the Ming Dynasty were not so famous.

    Therefore, Yunyao's idea of ????putting the prince to the county also makes sense, that is, to avoid the transformation of the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and to divert urban resources to backward areas and develop backward areas.

    "Certainly big cities are good, but big cities continue to absorb the wealth of rural areas, and rural areas become poorer and poorer. Eventually, they will naturally rebel. So I hope to use the opportunity of assessing the prince to send my brothers to those backward areas and find ways to  development, allowing talents and funds in the city to flow back to the countryside for construction, and truly achieve balanced development."

    This is my daughter, she always thinks about things in a wild and unconstrained way.  Li Shimin had never thought about developing the countryside. In his opinion, farming was enough, but he forgot that everyone has a heart for advancement.

    ¡°On this trip, I looked at the development levels of various places and inspected the local physical properties.?, wages, infrastructure, water conservancy, harvests, special products and other conditions, it is found that backward areas have difficulty even having enough to eat, while developed areas have begun to create wonders.  So I wanted to make some changes.  "

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it possible to reduce taxes?¡± Li Shimin said there is a simpler way.

    "Tax cuts only address the symptoms but not the root cause. What rural areas need are development opportunities and better infrastructure. Tax cuts alone cannot achieve the goal." Yunyao said: "With the advancement of science and technology, there will be more and more scholars. These  Scholars are different from nobles in that they are mobile. Nobles and aristocratic families have money to go back and improve the power of their land. But scholars have no land, they only have knowledge. They will choose to live in the city, so the city will become more and more prosperous in the future.  The bigger it is, the more wealth will be unable to flow back to various places, which will inevitably lead to peasant uprisings in various places. So we have to consider it." Yunyao said seriously.

    "It won't work if it doesn't flow, and it won't work if it flows too much. Laojun is right, governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies, and what matters is a subtle heat.  Therefore, we must have a plan. Only with a plan can we control it in time. If we want to control it after problems and conflicts have erupted, we can only wait for the change of dynasty.  When he is terminally ill, the gods will not be able to unite all the interest groups.

    So in history, the problems of the previous dynasty were basically solved by the next dynasty.  After the death of the Tang Dynasty by relatives and ministers, the Song Dynasty proposed the separation of military, political and financial affairs.  In the Song Dynasty, urbanization led to instability, and in the Ming Dynasty, fish scale books appeared.  But now that Yunyao has traveled through time, as a time traveler, she naturally has to be far-sighted, see future problems, and nip them in the bud.

    Li Shimin needed to consider more details, so he convened ministers to discuss and sent people to various places to inspect to see if the problem was as serious as his daughter said. Is there a huge gap between developed areas and backward areas?

    Even if Li Shimin agrees with Yunyao's proposition, he still needs sufficient support to do it. After all, this is an unprecedented method.

    "Husband-in-law, this is your chance to leave your name in history. Now you can write a memorial about my ideas, and history will remember your contribution." Yunyao said that although she came up with the idea, she didn't mind taking the credit.  Leave it to the female consort. Once the prince's policy of moving to the county is implemented, no matter good or bad, the female consort will definitely leave her name in history.

    Of course, Yunyao thinks it is definitely a good result, because it is necessary to avoid urbanization at present. Unless all rural areas are farmed by machines in the future, the development of backward areas is inevitable.
