Zhang Yang firmly believes that wealth can be created with hands and wealth can be obtained through labor. Those wealthy families who engage in land annexation are a group of unmotivated and stupid local rich people.
In addition to creating poverty and burdens for their country, they will not bring any benefit to the country, nor will they increase their wealth.
When a dynasty settles down, land annexation occurs frequently, and the government and the central government make repeated orders, but what the local government does is another matter.
In the end, the court often negotiates with wealthy families who own thousands of acres of land, while more villagers have to be displaced.
This behavior is no different from cannibalism.
Taifu Temple also needs to prepare for planting vegetables in the coming year. Today's weather is unusually warm.
There is a saying in meteorology that a warm winter must be followed by a cold spring.
Usually this late spring cold will continue to bring low temperatures and rain, one after another.
The emperor's family settled in Lishan.
Late at night, the couple was playing chess. The night wind whistled, and after a while, there was the sound of rustling rain.
Zhang Yang opened the door, and a biting cold wind hit him, and the freezing rain started again.
I have been paying attention to the weather recently and recorded the weather changes before and after freezing rain.
Li Yue wrote down today's weather changes, nodded and said, "Well, as my husband expected, it rained in the middle of the night."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "We need to accumulate meteorological experience, which will be of great use to our family."
In the room, the chess game on the chessboard has not yet ended, and the situation between black and white stones is in a stalemate.
The couple also lost interest in playing chess. The chessboard was just placed there, and the toys in the house were still scattered all over the floor.
After recording the current weather changes, we took a rest.
The next morning, the rain had not stopped all night, and the sky was overcast.
I looked at the messy toys scattered all over the house, and the chess pieces that were half played last night. The chess pieces were placed in such a mess.
Without bothering to clean up, Zhang Yang picked up the cup and towel for washing, opened the door, and sat under the eaves to wash up.
The weather is still cold, and the rain from last night condenses into ice at low temperatures when it falls to the ground.
After a while, Li Yue also woke up. She stretched her waist and her hair was messy after last night's tossing.
Looking at the mess at home, I simply sorted it out and then started tidying up the home.
After Zhang Yang washed up, he also started preparing breakfast.
Xiao Qingqing slept with her two aunts last night. It seemed that she was too playful last night, so the two aunts woke up later than usual.
New Year's Eve has just passed, which is the Chinese New Year, and Li Yue has relaxed some control over his daughter.
In the morning, Zhang Yang was still busy in his laboratory. When he heard the noise in the yard, he knew that his brothers and sisters were back.
Now they live in Lishan, and they are becoming more and more alienated from the palace.
In fact, this is fine, but the environment in the palace is really not suitable for raising children, especially those distorted views in the palace. God knows what impact those three views will have on the growth of children.
At least in Lishan, Zhang Yang felt that he could give them some correct guidance.
Zhang Yang wore a mask he made himself and watched the gunpowder being mixed.
The laboratory in Lishan is a forbidden area in the family, and only the brother-in-law can enter it on weekdays.
Li Zhi looked at it curiously. When his brother-in-law came out of the laboratory, he saw that the door was not closed.
Until his brother-in-law walked into the workshop again, Li Zhi quickly stepped forward and quietly took a look at the laboratory.
The laboratory was very dark, with only one table and one chair.
After a while, Li Zhi frowned and looked back.
Gao Yang also came over curiously, "Zhinu, are there any treasures in the laboratory?"
Children are curious and adventurous.
Li Zhi had a tangled look on his little face and whispered: "There is nothing in it."
"Yeah?"
Gao Yang was very curious and even took Qing He into the laboratory. After a while, the two of them came out. There was indeed nothing in the laboratory, only chairs and tables.
The tables were also empty.
My brother-in-law is a very skilled man and he must have hidden a lot of treasures.
Contrary to expectations, there was nothing in this laboratory.
The three children stood by the Huaqing Pool, all lost in thought.
This mysterious experiment turned out to be empty, and now my brother-in-law went to the workshop again, but the door to the workshop was always open, and no one could go in at any time. Everything in the workshop was clearly visible, and there was nothing special about it.
Gao Yang suspected that his brother-in-law had a treasure house, and that treasure house must be full of treasures. Otherwise, where did his brother-in-law's treasures come from?
The emperor rested in Lishan Mountain. To many people, His Majesty was extraordinarily diligent in his duties this year. He did not even go to Lishan Mountain to escape the summer heat. He only went to Mount Taishan in autumn, and did not even climb Mount Taishan.
The previous talk about His Majesty going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen was eliminated, and the government and the public no longer discussed these matters.
If someone with your majesty's achievements has not gone to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, how can other emperors dare to speak lightly of Mount Tai in the future?
As many people had expected, just recovering the four towns of Anxi was not enough to make His Majesty want to be enshrined in Mount Tai.
Now that Goguryeo has been recovered, His Majesty just paid homage to Mount Tai from a distance.
People become more sober after reaching forty. If doing something will only increase the burden on his disciples, Li Shimin would rather not do it.
A pragmatic emperor is naturally good. The emperor can put his mind on practical matters, and the government and the public are very pleased.
Even Wei Zheng said a few words of appreciation to His Majesty after taking a rest.
Li Shimin came to Lishan to spend the winter, and it did not even cause impeachment from the DPRK and China.
On this day, a minor official from the Provincial Ceremony Department came to the imperial city to do business as usual.
It was the time of rest, and scattered memorials from various places were delivered. After these memorials were sorted, they were sent to the six ministries of the imperial court.
The cold wind blew through, making people shiver. His footsteps hurriedly arrived at the official residence of Menxia Province. He was the only one on duty today.
The imperial court has already taken a break, but there are still three or two officials on duty in the imperial city.
He picked up the memorials and didn't look at them more. Instead, he took a quick look and prepared to send these memorials to various ministries.
But when he saw the memorial from Taifu Temple, he was stunned for a while. Normally, these memorials were not something he could read.
But there was no one around at the moment, so he opened his eyes and took a curious look. It was said that this Taifu Temple had done a lot of things, and the Minister of Taifu Temple was the talk of the town in Chang'an today.
Anyone would wonder what this legendary figure would have written on the memorial.
His eyes saw the long diagrams in the memorial to Taifu Temple, and he was very curious. After reading the words in the subsequent memorial, he understood what it meant, and hurriedly collected the memorial and sent it to Zhongshu Province.
Rain falls on the ancient Chang'an City. Many places in the imperial city have not yet been repaired, and there are also potholes and water accumulation.
The clerk braved the rain and came all the way to Zhongshu Province.
At the time of rest, the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the DPRK, which is usually the busiest, now only has a few officials on duty.
Liu Jie was on duty in Zhongshu Province. This civil servant, who was born in the Liu family of Nanyang, was just promoted by His Majesty this year to the position of Censor of the Secretariat to deal with the accumulation of government affairs in the Province. He has also been busy from New Year's Eve to now.
Especially since Zhang Yang left Shangshu Province, Du Zhilang's position has been vacant, and now a lot of things have piled up.
His Majesty originally entrusted these matters to Chu Suiliang, but Chu Suiliang was a relatively undisciplined person. His Majesty also took care of his father, Chu Liang, who was an important official in martial arts at the time, so he gave him some mercy.
Liu Jie was different. He did not have a prominent background. He had served the Tang Dynasty after the defeat of Xiao Xian in Lingnan. Li Yuan was still in power at that time.
All kinds of experiences made Liu Ji resent Chu Suiliang, but he had no choice but to let his Majesty's arrangements go.
Although the experience in his half life was not good, it was relatively smooth. He moved to the post of Zhi Shu Shi and served as the censor, and became the deputy minister of the censor at the censor station. He was in charge of the performance, and his official rank was equivalent to that of the censor Zhongcheng.
The matter of impeaching the Marquis of Lishan County by an official was naturally in his hands.
Looking at Lishan's reply to the impeachment memorial, Liu Ji frowned and remained silent for a while. After cleaning up, he hurried out and left the imperial city in a hurry according to the memorial.
It is not a good idea to bother the Prime Minister during the holiday season. The Prime Minister has always been concerned about political affairs, so he would not care about submitting the memorial at this time.
After being informed by the concierge, Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yizhi came to greet him personally.
Liu Ji hurriedly walked into the house and delivered the memorial in his hand to the prime minister.
Fang Xuanling looked at it for a long time and frowned, "Let's just let this matter go."
Liu Jie asked in confusion: "Prime Minister, how should we respond to the impeachment?"
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said: "The intention of the Marquis of Lishan County has already been expressed in the memorial. The chicken and duck pen belongs to Lantian County, but Lishan is just running it, and it has not hindered the villagers. Another memorial has been prepared to explain. As for this Don’t let others see the memorial anymore, and don’t let anyone talk about it.”
"Here." Liu Ji nodded. This memorial involves the current King of Wei and the Prince of Hejian County, as well as the current Queen.
What the Fang Xiang meant was that as long as Lishan did not exceed the regulations and did not enclose the land, these trivial matters would be left to them.
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You can rest for now. Let those officials take a closer look at the farm affairs in the future. There is no need to pursue this matter in Lishan."
Liu Ji was over forty years old, so he lowered his attitude and said, "Does the prime minister mean the land issue that has been discussed in Chang'an City these past two days?"
Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Don't neglect the inspection of the fields. You should also go and see what the situation is."
"Here."
Liu Jie left in a hurry again. Naturally, the memorial in Fang Xuanling's hand could not be shown to others. As for the provincial ceremony, Fang Xuanling also called him away. After giving some instructions, he asked the small official not to leave. Publicity.
In another house in Chang'an City, he received a message from the prime minister. He didn't care about dealing with the guests and relatives who came to visit, and went to the prime minister's mansion alone.
Fang Xuanling's home seemed much deserted. There were not many guests visiting this New Year.
To say that the prime minister is upright and upright, he is not as good at dealing with guests from all over the world as Zhao Guogong.
Fang Xuanling was sitting in the room with an oil lamp beside the table, squinting at the memorial, which showed that his long years of dealing with government affairs had caused great damage to his eyes.
The light of the oil lamp was not bright, so Fang Xuanling held the memorial in hand and leaned as close to the window sill as possible so that he could see it more clearly.
Fang Yizhi was in his twenties. He had just gotten married two years ago and married Du, who was a close relative of Du Ruhui's family.
At that time, Fang Xuanling was the only one left, and Du Ruhui passed away early, which became a regret for the whole dynasty.
In order to take good care of Du Ruhui's remaining relatives, Fang Xuanling asked his eldest son to marry a girl from Du Ruhui's family, which was considered a kind of care.
Nowadays, Fang Yizhi still does not hold a position in the court. If it were another important official, he might have tried his best to give his heirs a certain position in the court.
Among the second generation of powerful people in the Tang Dynasty, there were several children who did not serve in the court, such as Changsun Wuji's son Changsun Chong and Wei Zheng's son Wei Shuyu.
Everyone set an example and did not seek official positions for their sons.
Fang Xuanling was very strict in running his family. He paid attention to laws and regulations in running his family. He was always afraid that his disciples would be arrogant and rely on power to dominate others, so he collected the ancient and modern family precepts and taught them from time to time.
This developed Fang Yizhi's humble character, and he was also one of the most highly praised among the many young men in Chang'an City.
After taking Cen Wenwen to the front of the house, Fang Yizhi whispered: "Servant Cen, father is in the house."
Cen Wenwen bowed slightly and said, "Young Master Fang is busy."
The younger brother Fang Yiai on the side was chasing and beating several servants with a stick. Fang Yiai straightened his face and said: "My brother is fooling around, making Minister Cen laugh."
Cen Wenwen waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's better for children to have some fun."
After that, Fang Yizhi led people into the main hall of the house and said: "Father, Minister Cen is here."
Fang Xuanling then put down the memorial and signaled his son to retreat.
After Fang Yizhi left, Fang Xuanling said in a low voice, "You go to Lishan every month to inquire. I guess you know Lishan best."
Another burst of rain fell outside the window, and some raindrops fell on him. Fang Xuanling did not care, but continued to ask: "There are officials in the court who impeached Lishan, saying that it was about the chicken and duck pen. Those officials did not go I just heard about it when I passed Lishan Mountain, what do you think of it when you went to see it yourself?"
Cen Wenwen thought for a moment and replied: "Mr. Fang, Lishan has its own rules. When Zhang Yang first built Lishan, all the constructions were for the sake of people's livelihood. But Lishan has already had chicken and duck pens, so those are all It is the people of Lishan who are self-sufficient."
Cen Wenwen is the one who knows Lishan best among the officials in the DPRK and is also the one who understands Lishan's various actions best.
After some cross-examination, Fang Xuanling learned that the memorial from Taifu Temple was true. He said slowly: "I asked Liu Jie to inquire about the land. If you have time, you can go and inquire more."
"I understand."
"Yes." Fang Xuanling nodded slowly.
We must keep a close eye on farm matters. Farms are the foundation of people's livelihood. If we don't care about some things now, they will only become more serious in the future.
A person's energy is limited, and a person's ability is also limited.
Fang Xuanling thought that in this life she could ask her farm owners to tighten their grip, but what would they do in the future? The current younger generation was the future of the Tang Dynasty.
At this age, Fang Xuanling is also unable to do anything, and the aura of old age is getting heavier and heavier on her body.
Things have their own priorities, and the chicken-duck pen is just a trivial matter. Even if Lishan goes too far, he will only pay a fine or a salary penalty afterwards. If it is more serious, he will be fined and his salary will be forfeited.
Lishan is a major tax collector in the court, and your Majesty will not deal harshly with it unless it makes a big mistake.
