"This much land is comparable to how many Lishan Mountains there are."
Logically speaking, the mistress of Lishan should be happy that her family has more property, but she still has a distressed look on her face.
He said he was here to plan the family property, but Zhang Yang felt that he couldn't help.
Li Lizhi took out a volume of books from the library and said, "Sister Huang, the taxes in various places have been sorted out."
"Yes." Li Yue nodded slightly before sitting upright again.
Zhang Yang sat down beside them and said with a smile: "We should be happy to have so much land."
Li Lizhi held her imperial sister's hand and cursed softly: "Brother-in-law said it wrong."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Li Yue sighed and said nothing.
Li Lizhi is now as tall as her imperial sister. She looked unhappy and said, "Imperial sister has always disliked land annexation. This is what my brother-in-law said."
Hearing what she said, Zhang Yang nodded clearly.
Some people say that a woman's heart has never changed since ancient times. The faster Li Yue grows up, the harder it is to guess her thoughts.
After listening to Li Lizhi's explanation, she realized that it turned out that her family had too much land, and Li Yue felt that she was also part of the land annexation, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Yang whispered: "If you don't want to accept this, we can still discuss it with your father."
"Daddy..." The son, who was still toddling, shouted. He wanted to put something in his mouth whenever he got it, but he was able to call people. He was now over a year old.
Hearing his son's words, Li Yue stopped thinking and picked up these field records and put them into a box. "After all, they are our family property and a reward for our sons and daughters. When they grow up, let them Make your own decision.”
Now she is becoming more and more like the matron of the house, and her methods of calculating family property have become more sophisticated.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" Li Zhi came with a volume of books, "Something happened!"
Zhang Yang frowned, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Have Gao Yang and Dong Yang caused trouble?"
Li Zhi couldn't help but shook his head. He took a breath and said, "I wanted to go see the emperor today, but a guard sent news that something happened to Fan Yang. Ma Zhou arrested six of Fan Yang's family members and paraded them through the streets. Then Six children from aristocratic families were stoned to death by angry students while they were parading in the street."
Zhang Yang asked: "How did Ma Zhou deal with it afterwards?"
Li Zhi then sat down. He took a sip of tea and said: "Ma Zhou's memorial to the court said that it was his own fault for being stoned to death if he offended his students. The family members wanted to ask for an explanation, but they were all rejected by Ma Zhou. Refuse.”
This incident was probably related to Pei Xuanji. From Li Zhi's description, it seemed that the incident was out of control.
"Some winds will never stop once they blow. You can't kill all the righteousness in this world." Zhang Yang said this with emotion.
Li Zhi whispered: "Reports from various places have been sent to Chang'an, and the DPRK is discussing how to deal with the aftermath."
The next day, there was a quarrel in the court over what happened in Fan Yang. Changsun Wuji asked Zhang Xingcheng to go to Fan Yang and sent officials from Zhongshu Province to investigate again.
As soon as Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu came out of Chengtian Gate after going to court, they saw Di Renjie waiting in the corner.
Pretending not to see it, Xu Jingzong continued to quicken his pace.
The little figure still followed him, and he whispered: "Is Xu Shangshu blind?"
When Xu Jingzong heard this, he closed his eyes to calm down the thought of beating him up, and then said: "I'm not blind."
Di Renjie added: "Then why didn't you see the boy just now?"
"I only have my family, country and country in my heart."
"What Xu Shangshu said is wrong. Since your heart is about your family, country and country, you should also take your children into consideration."
"Shut up!" Xu Jingzong couldn't help but shouted.
Di Renjie grinned and said, "Xu Shangshu, I want to go out for a walk."
Xu Jingzong's heart bleeds when he thinks of buying him a pony during the autumn hunting trip and letting him go out for fun. The pony cost him three thousand dollars.
During the autumn hunting season, horse dealers raise the price of horses.
"Qiu Lie went out for three days to play, haven't you had enough fun yet?"
"I made an appointment with His Highness the King of Jin for a talent test today. I'm scared to be out there alone, so I asked Shangshu Xu to escort me."
You little bastard are still scared? He has been eating and drinking freely in the Ministry of Rites for so long, but I haven't seen his timid side.
Xu Jingzong whispered to Li Yifu: "It is better to send someone to keep an eye on Monk Xuanzang. I will take him out for a walk."
"Here."
Ever since Di Renjie came to the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jingzong felt that his originally brilliant life was now gray and he couldn't find his direction.
Walk out of Chunming Gate in Chang'an City and walk eastward along the Weishui River in the direction of Lishan Mountain.
Something like this happened in Fan Yang. There were many officers and soldiers walking on the official road. There would always be officers and soldiers passing by on the road, and then they would stir up a large amount of dust, which was annoying.
Xu Jingzong looked at Di Renjie who was riding a pony and said, "You little bastard, are you going to Lishan Mountain?"
Di Renjie said calmly: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Jin lives in Lishan."
"Shouldn't you..."
Seeing that Xu Jingzong was about to turn around and leave, Di Renjie said again: "Xu Shangshu, if you leave, I will speak ill of you in front of the county prince."
Xu Jingzong held up the reins and asked again: "You want to meet His Highness the King of Jin. What does it have to do with the county prince?"
"Yes, I made an appointment with His Highness the King of Jin during the early autumn hunting season to take the county prince with me."
"You..." Xu Jingzong was speechless for a moment. He rode his horse closer to the old man with a strange smile on his face, and asked angrily: "Renjie, what did you and His Highness King Jin say at that time? What did you agree to? "
"That's all. Xu Shangshu, don't think too much about it."
He was obviously an eleven-year-old child, but he still pretended to be old-fashioned when he spoke. Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of his mouth, Xu Jingzong felt angry again, "You little bastard, I will accompany you for a while. If you dare to say that I It’s not…”
Di Renjie stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "Xu Shangshu, relax, don't be so suspicious of me, I'm only eleven years old."
Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth and said, "You are already almost a man at the age of eleven."
"Xu Shangshu was joking again. I still need to learn more skills from Xu Shangshu. This is what my father ordered."
While talking, we walked along the Weishui River to the front of Lishan Village.
By the river, Zhang Yang was sitting by the river and fishing with his chin in his hand. Li Zhi saw Di Renjie from afar and waved happily: "Renjie."
Di Renjie rode his horse faster. When he got close, he turned over and dismounted and said, "I have met His Highness King Jin."
Li Zhi glanced at Xu Jingzong, and the two children walked aside in a tacit understanding.
Xu Jingzong, who had just led the horse closer, said to himself: "It's annoying for children to talk to each other while avoiding adults. It's annoying."
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Yang again. The county prince was wearing coarse cloth and his hair was a little messy.
Xu Jingzong cupped his hands and said, "Marquis of the County, fishing in autumn is really relaxing."
Zhang Yang took out a piece of whole wheat bread and handed it to him, "This is the bread made by His Royal Highness King Wei. The secret recipe has been perfected several times now. Please try it."
"Xie Xianhou, I haven't eaten since the morning court."
Just as he was about to take his mouth, Zhang Yang said again: "A lot of wheat bran has been added, so the taste is a bit worse."
Xu Jingzong hesitated for a moment, then took a bite and chewed it in his mouth, puffing out his cheeks as he spoke, "Something happened to Fan Yang. The Ministry of Education discussed it all night long yesterday."
Zhang Yang sat cross-legged with his hands in his hands, "Yeah."
Xu Jingzong stuffed another mouthful into his mouth, "It tastes pretty good, it's soft and fluffy, and there are some wheat grains."
"Well, I plan to give it to the court to be used as military rations."
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is a great talent." Xu Jingzong took another bite. When he couldn't hold it in his mouth, he stretched out his fingers and pushed the bread into his mouth.
Seeing him finish a piece of bread, Zhang Yang handed him a water bag and said, "Drink some water."
"Xie Xianhou." Xu Jingzong took a sip of hot water and took a deep breath, "Well, the wheat aroma is very strong, but the taste is a bit bland."
Zhang Yang looked him up and down and said, "Are you sure you haven't eaten anything else since the court?"
Xu Jingzong couldn't help but nod.
"Okay, from now on, you are not allowed to eat anything else, and you are not allowed to eat at night until you are so hungry that you feel dizzy. Write down the time and your reaction the next day after eating, and send it to Lishan Come."
Hearing this, Xu Jingzong said curiously: "This official is puzzled."
"This thing has just been made. I haven't eaten it yet. I don't know if putting too much wheat bran will spoil my stomach, so I'll let you eat it first."
Although there was some bitterness on his face, Xu Jingzong did not want to show it at all.
Zhang Yang stared at the fishing line and whispered: "Have you heard about Monk Xuanzang?"
Xu Jingzong lowered his posture and saluted again, "It's because I didn't handle the job well. The county magistrate will forgive me."
"It's not your fault." Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "I didn't think comprehensively. Monk Xuanzang was able to convert these women. I underestimated him."
"Are you going to send someone to kill him?"
"It would be too easy to kill him, and it would be too unworthy. If he died violently, Buddhism would praise him."
Xu Jingzong lowered his head, searching for ways to trick people in his mind.
Later he discovered the fact that there were not as many ways to trick people as Zhang Yang.
"How do you plan to deal with Tubo?"
"Reporting to the County Marquis, we plan to take advantage of Wang Xuance's victory to lobby Lu Dongzan and ask him to agree to build the Protectorate in Luoche. Luoche is located deep in Tubo, with the Snowy Mountains to the north, and we can also use the road to build it. Going to Tianzhu is a battleground for our Ministry of Rites, and only by controlling the logic can we control the entire Tubo."
Xu Jingzong's vision was right. The geographical location of Luoche was too important, but controlling Luoche meant controlling the Tubo people. This statement was wrong.
Zhang Yang whispered: "Sometimes I wonder whether you are His Majesty's person or mine."
Xu Jingzong looked solemn and was about to swear to heaven.
"Okay, okay!"
Before he could say anything, Zhang Yang interrupted: "You don't need to swear, how is Fan Yang's situation?"
"Returning to the county, in fact, the riots in Fanyang were just literati at the beginning, and later many farmers joined in, and then there were more low-ranking people, especially those who were literate but could only be driven by aristocratic families. They were driven by the children of aristocratic families. After being driven for so long, these people’s resistance is also the most ruthless and quickest.”
Xu Jingzong added: "Now, Fan Yang is almost in trouble. Students, farmers, and lowly people no longer trust the government. Ma Zhou is busy maintaining the situation. Fortunately, Fan Yang and Zhe Chong Mansion are in charge. .”
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "The more knowledgeable and far-sighted the people are, the lower class they are, their resistance will be the most ferocious and ruthless."
"That's why Fan Yang is attacking the Lu family all over the country."
"Has the Zhongshu Ministry of Education made any arrangements?"
"Zhao Guogong asked Zhang Xingcheng to go to Fanyang." After saying that, Xu Jingzong looked around and whispered: "I thought it would be useless to ask Zhongshu Shengren to go. This matter has caused such a big fuss. Maybe It’s not just Fanyang, it may affect more places. Now there are vague signs of it in Xingyang, and even Qinghe..."
At this point, Xu Jingzong's words suddenly stopped.
Zhang Yang looked up at him, then followed Lao Xu's gaze and turned his head to look again. Mr. Wang Gui was standing aside at some point.
Zhang Yang put away the fishing line, "Pei Xuanji is really a talent. This matter has been stumbling for three years. At this moment, I finally see some color. I thought he was going to hide and never recover."
Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly. It was more than just a slight improvement. The voices that wanted to destroy the family became more and more intense. Their anger could not be calmed down until some people were killed, and the trouble would continue until justice was given.
Wang Gui stepped forward and coughed a few more times, "Why don't you speak?"
Seeing Xu Jingzong looking at him, Zhang Yang added: "It's okay. Mr. Wang was invited by me. We just want to sit down and discuss this matter together. You don't have to avoid it."
"Here." Xu Jingzong looked back at Di Renjie, who was still playing with Li Zhi, and then looked away and continued: "Mr. Zheng thought that this matter should be dealt with seriously to completely eliminate the troubles of the family."
Wang Gui said: "There will definitely be opposition in the court."
Facing Mr. Wang, Xu Jingzong felt a little frightened and whispered: "It is still Zhao Guogong who wants to comfort and calm down the turmoil in many places. After these turmoils subside, we can discuss the matter and decide who should be arrested."
Wang Gui said with a smile: "The old thief Changsun has been in contact with the Guanlong clan and dignitaries from all over the past few years. Although this person also cares about the country, he mostly focuses on appeasing and dealing with people and things. He helped appease His Majesty. The Guanlong family was the reason why His Majesty asked Guanlong not to cause trouble when he came to the throne, and later he lobbied many famous officials."
"What Xu Jingzong said is Changsun Wuji's consistent style. However, if you really follow his rules, you will not only miss the best opportunity to win over the family, but also make all your previous efforts go to waste. In the past, you wanted to drain the fire, but now you have to The fire is cooking the oil."
Zhang Yang said: "What the old gentleman said is true. Li Zhengzao's incident made me clearly realize their determination to stay together. I don't think they would rather break an arm than the family to fall apart. Just as the old gentleman said, if you want to make trouble, just make it." The fire cooks the oil.”
Xu Jingzong whispered: "But the people sent by Zhao Guogong..."
"Old Xu, there are ways to stop people, as long as they don't reach Fan Yang."
"After the officials returned, they arranged for their wives and children to be kidnapped first, making it difficult for them to move out of Tongguan."
Wang Gui whispered: "Does your Ministry of Rites behave like this?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I thought you liked this style too."
