Chapter 1125: Benefit from it

『Chapter error, click here to report』

Xu Jingzong, who was panning for gold in Shaya City, and Lu Shi, who was boiling water in the pasture, all witnessed this large-scale mobilization in Xizhou.

Although they were in different places, it was truly spectacular that the two of them were equally reverent and excited when they saw this scene.

The emperor's "Prison Edict" in Layue had nothing to do with these two people, but they actually benefited from it.

Xu Jingzong and Lü were both sentenced to exile by Chang'an in the 22nd year of Zhenguan, and they were not included in the reduction of flogging, rods, imprisonment, exile, and death.

But no matter how much Chi Jingde, the Duke of Eguo, flattened Xu Jingzong, the two always had a constant relationship, and Xu Jingzong's daughter-in-law was the granddaughter of Eguogong.

And the inconspicuous woman of the Lu family is precisely the lead to the fall of Xu Jingzong, the prince's right concubine, what kind of identity is she, who can not ponder it?

The two of them may not be nothing in Chang'an, but in a county in Xizhou, who wouldn't dig a hole and find out where the two came from?

One is a relative of the Duke of Eguo, and the other is a woman who was the son of the Duke of Harrier.

sent these two people to Xizhou, that is probably an absolute high-ranking official who is really angry, in order to be out of sight and out of mind, let them not dangle under their noses and make trouble.

But here in the remote Xizhou, the two strings of personnel relationships dragged behind these two people are like thorn melons on two vines, and any one of them is heavy to pick up.

Therefore, after the "Prisoner Edict" was issued, Liuzhong County immediately checked the account books of the prisoners sent by Chang'an this year, and there were a total of eight people.

The six people were the guards of Li Zhien, the former governor of Liaozhou, and they disturbed the Fang District where Shangshulingfu was located.

One is Xu Jingzong, this hot potato has just been dug up by Xie Guang, the manager of the Shaya City Gold Mine, thank God, there is finally one less unknown trouble.

There is another one, which is the female shepherd Lu who is currently boiling water in Liuzhong Ranch.

The order of Mo County in Liuzhong County said that a woman seems to be boiling water in the pasture well, and she has no new grievances, and Mrs. Cui, who lives in the old village, does not seem to express any deep affection for the Lu family, so let's wait.

Some decisions are not good to make, but they avoid the disadvantages of possibility and unknown.

Such a thing, in a red county in the Beijing region, the higher-level county magistrate has never dared to make such a decision. But this is Xizhou, or how to say that the emperor is far away.

The county officials made a special trip to the ranch village and made a special trip to visit Mrs. Cui, and told her about this matter, in fact, to ask Mrs. Cui's intentions.

Mrs. Cui said, "This is official business, so let's do it according to official business." ”

The official sent to the ranch and mentioned it to Lord Liu Wu again, Liu Wu learned that they had just come out of Mrs. Cui, and actually said, "Well, this female shepherd's reputation after arriving at the ranch is still good, the water is boiled well, and the delivery is also diligent." ”

The next step is to follow the procedure and inflict cane punishment on the Lu family, and after that, she will be fine. As long as she doesn't run back to Chang'an to make trouble immediately, this good thing of the county order will be completed.

Someone led Lu into a secret room and was punished with a cane.

Lu Shi smiled and said, "Brother several officials, your subordinates are merciful, I will go back to set up a tablet for you, and burn incense every day." ”

There was a mountain sound of "horns" in the secret room, and then Lu ran out and went to the teahouse to boil water.

Xu Jingzong, on the other hand, was under the management of Shaya City, and he was actually beaten with a cane by local officials with the same considerations.

The wife of the steward of Wentang in Shayacheng, that is, the second sister-in-law, walked around secretly, and did not hesitate to spend her own money to make a point, and even the steward who gave the final cane was also checked, and arranged a staff member who was playing a swing to go up and make a few strokes, and Xu Jingzong was liberated.

When Xu Jingzong met his second sister-in-law privately, he once said to her emotionally, "I can't imagine that Xu was defeated by one woman and favored by another woman, and these two women have some relationship with Shang Shuling and Harrier State Mansion!" ”

The second sister-in-law said, "It's worth it even if I die for you!" When I grew so big, everyone thought I was a shrew, so I kept pretending to be a shrew. It was only when I met you that I really got a taste of what it was like to be a different kind of woman. ”

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice, "They are all looking at the surface, but Xu knows that under your dress, it is the quality of a lady, more beautiful than all the women Xu has met." ”

The second sister-in-law burst into tears and choked up on him, "If Cao Da had half of you, I would do better." ”

Xu Jingzong also did not dare to return to Chang'an, but he no longer had to pan for gold in the gold mines, nor did he have to strip off his stool like an animal every evening, and he didn't have to make the gold diggers laugh like watching a trick.

Xie Guang, the manager of the gold mine, enjoyed a prince's right concubine working under him, and the two occasionally exchanged sentences, and he also gave more guidance to Xu Jingzong's words.

Just now, Xu Jingzong used poetry and words to compare to Lord Xie that his kindness to him was almost better than that of his brothers and classmates.

"My classmates are ashamed of Pang Juan, and Emperor Wei is tired of Taoyuan. Jingzong, you still make up these two sentences! Only with the word 'disgust' can it correspond to the word 'weeping' in Cao Zhi's seven-step poem. Speaking down, the official listened. Master Xie said.

Xu Jingzong exclaimed in public, "Lord Xie, with your literary talent, it is not an exaggeration to be a Hanlin!" ”

In the leap month, everything here is very beautiful, and it is full of human touch.

Chang'an, because the Anxi Protectorate completed the war against Qiuzi alone, felt the support and support of all walks of life in Xizhou for the Tang Dynasty's expansion of territory, and decided to Zhenguan for 23 years and give it a year after year.

"Give a refu", that is, a kind of redivision. This was based on the temporary edict of the monarch, which exempted people from taxes and servitude for one to three years.

Normal reinstatement is a system in which the royal family and its relatives, high-ranking officials and nobles, students and filial sons, those who serve in the military, and monks and Taoists are all long-term beneficiaries of this system.

After the army was assembled in Yanqi, it swore an oath: "The country is small but not humble, the strength is small but not afraid of the strong, the rude and insults the neighbors, and the greedy and clumsy friends can die." "The army is advancing towards the turtles.

……

Yongning Fang Harrier State Mansion, the second lady Xie Jinlian had an account for the first time.

Because the ladies in the house once again promoted the title according to the regulations of foreign wives. Gao Jun is a first-rank lord and a second-rank knight, according to the rank of a first-grade lady, Liu Yuru did not move this time. But Xie Jinlian, Fan Ying, Siqing, Cui Yan, Li Wanqing, Su Yin, and Lilan were all promoted to the county lady.

In addition to providing monthly salaries, the emperor will also have extraordinarily rich rewards during festivals and court meetings.

Mrs. Yipinguo has an average of 6,500 yuan per month, plus 1,500 yuan for food, and 1,000 yuan for miscellaneous use, for a total of 9,000 yuan a month.

Xie Jinlian and the others each had 3,500 yuan, plus 700 yuan for food and miscellaneous use, which was 4,900 yuan.

This is the monthly income of each person, needless to say, the name of the food, which person with status does not hold a banquet and drinking party? And the miscellaneous money is the cost of buying them a maid and a servant.

If you add Gao Jun's, Siqing and Su Yin's official errands, plus the income of Yongye Tian and Zhifen Tian, it is no wonder that Xie Jinlian didn't understand it for a while.

They gathered around and gossiped to make trouble for Xie Jinlian, happy to see that Second Lady Xie couldn't figure it out, but the atmosphere in the mansion was happy, covering up the worries brought to them by the sudden fog of Harrier Guogong's identity.

Liu Yuru took her sisters to tour most of the Taoist temples in the eastern half of the city, and finally selected the Great Ci'en Temple in Jinchangfang.

Needless to say, the temple was previously related to the temple, but the Prince Li Zhi's benevolence and filial piety to commemorate his mother, Empress Changsun, made this temple more famous and the number of pilgrims than other temples.

They made a decision and donated a large amount of incense money to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple! Since Jun said the general whereabouts of Mrs. Qing Ruoying, then Gao Bai will definitely succeed in finding them immediately, and what Liu Yuru and others have to do is to pave the way for the arrival of the old lady.

The emperor ignored it and kept giving Yongning Fang a knight, benefiting everyone in the Harrier Mansion, Yongning Fang is such a good trend of prosperity, who dares to suspect anything, even jealousy has to be quiet.

An abandoned woman in the Qianzhou Thorn Mansion tripped over the prince's right concubine, who dared to doubt the identity of the Harrier Guogong.

And Gao Jun is always not happy these days, just now in the discussion, Shang Shuling opposed the proposal of the household department to increase the rent of the whole country slightly, although only one point.

The reason of the household department is that in 22 years, the punishment of Goryeo, the construction of the five animal husbands in the north, and the relief of Haiyi in Quanzhou have been completed, and now the requisition of Qiuzi has begun, and there are too many places to use the money, and there is not much inventory in the bottom account.

Shang Shuling's reason was that the cost of the First World War in Goryeo was the lowest in the past, and the Quanzhou sea disaster was only a blood supply from the wealthy prefectures of Jing, Hangzhou, and Ezhou, and the national treasury was not used.

He said that if he couldn't do something, he would let the people increase the money, otherwise they would not be able to perceive the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor, and they would lose interest in Chang'an's future state affairs.

Besides, the folk trend of raising horses has gradually formed, and it has become popular so quickly, and there is a bit of a can't wait to fight.

Hubu Shangshu is working under Shang Shuling's hands, of course he will not insist, the purpose of his own proposal has been achieved anyway, and the top and bottom know that Hubu Shangshu is not good to do.

The crown prince did not disagree, especially since Shang Shuling raised the meaning of not raising rent to such a height. He said, "Harrier Guogong is right, we just need to reduce the pomp and circumstance, and we will save everything." Start with the widow's East Palace. ”

Shang Shuling thought in his heart: My father and mother don't know where they are in the people, but if they can not increase the rent, they will not increase the rent from me.

He also listed the latest number of horses in the country in the court, and after shocking the crown prince and other ministers, Shang Shuling proposed again: let the whole country taste the taste of donkey meat.

In other words, Shangshu Province intends to relax restrictions on the slaughter of donkeys.

Now is not the Wude period, Zhenguan Dynasty animal husbandry is prosperous, thousands of horses are singing, why not let the people experience the immediate benefits of pastoral prosperity?

Lord Chu nodded and said, "The harrier Guogong is very good, as the saying goes, 'geese in the sky, mules on the ground', this is a delicacy that makes people think about it!" Let's start with the donkey, as the so-called people are strong, the country is strong, and we can't just eat steamed cakes. ”

Shang Shuling thought in his heart: My father and mother don't know where the cat is in the folk, so let them eat donkey meat that they have never eaten in their lifetime.

This is a small matter, but it is undoubtedly a groundbreaking move in the states and counties below. It immediately spawns one or several entirely new trades.

Those who keep donkeys, those who make meat, those who kill donkeys, those who sell donkeys, those who run shops, and those who carry burdens...... Even the tail of the Archer has a new material.

The head of the household department privately calculates that the tax money for the national donkey industry alone is estimated to be less than a penny of rent increase.

Soon, the emperor soaked in the warm soup in the hot spring palace, and when he came out, he tasted donkey meat, which has a clear texture, dense and strong texture and arouses people's appetite, not fat or greasy, and the taste is surprisingly good.

The imperial chef cut the steamed donkey meat into fine slices and served it on a plate, and after the emperor tasted two slices, he grabbed it directly.

……

In the last half month of the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, several more things worth mentioning happened.

Governor Lang Shi, also known as Li Shen, the brother-in-law of the king of Yazhou County, was selected to the Ministry of Industry at the same level, and served as a member of the Tuntian Department as a foreigner, in charge of the Datang Salt Industry.

Shang Shuling's task to Li Shen was to find out how many official and private officials in the domestic salt industry were to rectify the salt affairs, survey and drill salt wells, and build sea salt fields during his term of office.

Shang Shuling told Shang Shu and Li Shen of the Ministry of Industry that salt pans are different from farmland, crops depend on the sky for food, and the income of the salt industry can be artificially planned.

The second thing was a simple change in the system of requisition.

This incident originated from a report from the Muzhou Assassin Mansion: Muzhou is overlooking the river, and in the middle of summer, the river floods and submerges, dredging every year, and uses a lot of servants. This year, two 16-year-old husbands in Qingxi County fell into the river during the winter dredging and died without saving them.

This matter can be regarded as inevitable, "sixteen as husband service, twenty as government soldiers" This is determined by the Tang law, and the local government only needs to give bereavement benefits to the deceased's family according to the regulations, and does not have to bear any additional responsibilities.

But Shang Shuling said that two sixteen-year-old servants may not be as strong as a strong man. But the loss of them is equivalent to the loss of two strong men two years later.

He strongly advocated that the age of conscription for such miscellaneous labor be extended to eighteen years, and was soon approved.

Although it was only two years, Shang Shuling's proposal enabled hundreds of thousands of school-age men in China to enjoy two years of exemption from military service.

He thought, my father and mother don't know where they are in the people, and if I don't help by their side, I will give my brother some benefits.

The third major event, of course, is that the eldest grandson Run returned to Beijing to make a difference, and the five middle pastors in the north were completed on schedule.

The fourth major event is the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate's Song Kaijie report. When the Feixin Ministry brought up the information of the Western Army, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty looked at the days and were all surprised.

Sure enough, as Shang Shuling expected, it was so simple to recover Qiuci, and before the first day of the Lunar New Year in the twenty-third year, three large cities and fifty small cities in Qiuci had entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Su Fa and Prime Minister Nali left with a few relatives who abandoned the city, and more than 10,000 people fell.

The Western Regions are shocked!

The last big thing is that Qianzhou came to the end of the year, and the women in Yongningfang thought that the old lady Qing Ruoying had found it, but it was not Qing Ruoying, it was a high-level trial.

In their minds, this matter is bigger than all the previous ones. The high trial line is not honest in Qianzhou, what are you doing in Chang'an at this juncture?

The sudden arrival of the assassin's trial reminded them once again of the incident that had always worried them and could not be talked about all the time.
