Chapter 1022: Start Early

"36780, plus 458701, plus 976894, how much is that?" Considering that Liu Xiuniang did not understand Arabic numerals, Li Zhongyi put aside the handwriting link and dictated the topic directly.

Li Zhongyi's questions are, in modern terms, the level of the third and fourth grades of primary school. However, for Liu Xiuniang, this is more than the sum of millions of numbers, and with the current environment she is in, it is impossible to come into contact with such a large number of copper coins.

To put it bluntly, Li Zhongyi just wants to see if Liu Xiuniang is a mathematical genius?

As the saying goes, it is not difficult for those who know, but it is not difficult for those who are difficult. Learning or engaging in scientific research also pays attention to talent, and talent and diligence will get twice the result with half the effort.

Li Zhongyi used to be a top student, and when others were immersed in hard study, he only hated that when he had little time, he still had spare time to play basketball and watch movies. In the final analysis, it is Li Zhongyi who has mastered the laws and methods of learning, and this is the talent of learning.

Just when Li Zhongyi thought that Liu Xiuniang was going to calculate for a long time, who expected, Liu Xiuniang squatted on the ground, picked up a small wooden branch casually, drew a few times on the ground, and then raised her pretty face, with a sly smile on the corner of her mouth, and blurted out: "One hundred and ten thousand and three hundred and thirty." ”

Li Zhongyi had already calculated the result in his heart, but Liu Xiuniang's performance was really amazing, and she was actually faster and accurate than Li Zhongyi.

"You can go." Li Zhongyi pondered for a moment, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and made a resolute decision.

Liu Xiuniang was overjoyed and ran to her mother's side, took her mother's hand, and urged urgently: "Mother, we are saved, hurry up, hurry up and leave this ghost place." ”

Li Zhongyi only said that Liu Xiuniang was released, and Sun Chuan naturally didn't dare to let her mother go, so he raised his hand to block the way of Liu Xiuniang's mother and daughter, and said coldly to Liu Xiuniang: "You can go, she is the wife of the criminal and must stay." ”

Liu Xiuniang was dumbfounded on the spot, biting her cherry lip, and slumped for a long time, only then did she open her eyes angrily and shouted: "Why? Didn't you say let us go? "There was no thought at all.

Sun Chuan is a straightforward man, and he didn't think about it so much, and said with a dark face: "The lord just ordered you to go, but he didn't say that you mother and daughter should go together." Hugh wants to mess around, you hurry away, she must stay. ”

Li Zhongyi laughed sullenly in his heart, he hadn't talked to Sun Chuan beforehand, but he didn't think that Sun Chuan's attitude was exactly what he wanted, wonderful!

"You...... You...... It's shameless......" After Liu Xiuniang experienced hesitation and uneasiness, she quickly understood the taste, raised her jade finger like a spring onion, pointed at Li Zhongyi's nose, and scolded.

Li Zhongyi deliberately made things difficult for Liu Xiuniang, not because he had any thoughts about her, but just wanted to test her character.

If Liu Xiuniang left her mother and left alone, Li Zhongyi would eventually let go of their mother and daughter.

It's just that Li Zhongyi's next plan will not fall on Liu Xiuniang, everything is laissez-faire, and he has nothing to do with him.

Now, since Liu Xiuniang dares to offend Li Zhongyi in death for the sake of her mother. Then, many problems will be solved.

"You can go." After Li Zhongyi threw down this sentence, he turned around and left, never dragging mud and water.

Xiao Sui could see clearly on the side that the bad man must have an ulterior motive for Liu Xiuniang, otherwise, he would not have set a trap for words and tried his best to toss others.

"Hey, don't go, please, let my mother go, please, you can do whatever I want......"

Liu Xiuniang is like a wild girl without a tutor, she spread her legs, like a rabbit fleeing for her life, and ran to Li Zhongyi's side with a roar, stretching out her arm to block Li Zhongyi's way.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, this Liu Xiuniang looks like a wild girl, but she has a very good nature, in order to take away her mother, she is willing to take risks, not bad, very good!

Filial piety comes first, and people with pure filial piety, whether male or female, are worthy of Li Zhongyigao's look!

However, Li Zhongyi has other ideas, it is impossible to let Liu Xiuniang go so easily, and the deliberate difficulties must continue.

Li Zhongyi waved his hand and motioned to Chu Xiong, who was blocking the right side in front of him, to get out of the way, Chu Xiong obviously saw the gesture of the lord, but he just didn't see it, he still stood in place, not moving.

Chu Xiong's loyalty made Li Zhongyi extremely relieved and distressed. This kid is just a tendon, and in order to protect his safety, he refuses to be accommodating, which is really embarrassing.

Li Zhongyi pulled his legs and walked to the depths of the house, Liu Xiuniang wanted to hold him to reason, but was stopped by Chu Xiong raising his hand.

"Little lady, if you continue to mess around like this, it's not very good for your mother." Chu Xiong was originally born in the old throat, and he was a guy covered with news, although he couldn't see Li Zhongyi's true thoughts, but this did not affect him to help cover it up.

Chu Xiong's view of the problem was really accurate, Liu Xiuniang seemed to be holding a seven-inch beautiful snake, and her whole body froze in place.

After Li Zhongyi got rid of Liu Xiuniang's entanglement, he went around Liu Jiang's house and went around a whole circle, and in the end, he couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed very reasonable for the officials to force the people to rebel." ”

Liu Jiang is just the head of a county government, and his small life may be slightly inferior to Li Zhongyi, but it definitely surpasses all the civil and military officials under Li Zhongyi.

"Nanbanzi...... Well, the officials of the Nanren are too greedy, and this big mansion is much more luxurious than our handsome in Dengzhou. Xiao Xuan almost missed his mouth, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and made remedies in time.

Xiao Xuan's sentence of the Southern Barbarian made Li Zhongyi very uncomfortable, what happened to the Southern Barbarian? Isn't it your master now?

"Your skin is itching again?" Li Zhongyi endured and endured, but in the end he didn't want to endure it anymore, and scolded Xiao Xuan sharply.

Li Zhongyi's image in front of Xiao Sui has always been gentle and elegant with a belly full of bad water, and he has never been so violent.

Xiao Xuan knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly excused himself and said cautiously: "Master, it's all because the slave was cheap for a while, and he didn't control his mouth, please punish him severely." ”

"Kneel down in the carriage and reflect on your sins." Li Zhongyi decided to snub Xiao Xuan and wait for her to figure it out before making plans.

If this place is where Li Zhongyi is stationed, then Xiao Sui will definitely not be able to escape the punishment of playing the flute hard, but in Liu Jiang's mansion, he is not so wasted.

Xiao Sui left with a sad face, and Li Zhongyi sat calmly on the stone bench in the pavilion, and the sword attendants who had been following on the left and right placed the food boxes in their hands on the stone table one by one.

Li Zhongyi took a sip of the green tea that was almost cold, and secretly sighed in his heart, the heat preservation conditions were still seriously insufficient.

The food box wrapped in hemp wadding, the effect of heat preservation is very general, and the boiling tea that has just been brewed will become cold water after two hours at most.

In the winter weather, the effect of heat preservation is even worse, and it may be frozen into ice in an hour.

If you can make a thermos flask, at least for ten hours, the tea will still be warm.

Li Zhongyi enjoyed a rare free time, the marshal's mansion was in Dengzhou, he was in Linzi County, in addition to the military affairs that had to be sent to him, the daily civil affairs that had been set up were all discussed by Liu Jinshan and a group of civil officials.

In the entire Pinglu region, there are six states, and all the people under its jurisdiction combined, including the 220,000 new immigrants who moved from the Great Plain of Youji, a total population of more than one million.

If there are fewer people, the economic foundation will be poor, which is a bad thing. However, in Li Zhongyi's view, the Pinglu area is just the right place to use as an experimental field to promote the economic and livelihood policies he has set.

In a small-scale peasant society, the most basic means of production and subsistence is land. Li Zhongyi did not adopt a radical policy of confiscating land, but applied different two-tax policies according to the amount of land.

To put it simply, yeoman farmers with less than 50 acres of land enjoy the special preferential treatment of 20 taxes and 1. Owners of 50 to 100 acres of land are subject to the general policy of 15 taxes and 1 cap.

If it is more than 100 acres, ten taxes will be paid together, and if it is more than 500 acres, eight taxes will be one; As for the large landlords of more than 1,000 acres of fertile land, they must bear a high tax of five taxes and one tax.

Due to the war-torn factors, there are many ownerless fertile lands in the Pinglu area, with a population of more than one million, and the number of adult males is only 300,000 or 400,000 at best, even if each person is divided into 500 acres of land, in fact, it is enough to divide the land to everyone's head.

However, Li Zhongyi did not intend to distribute the fertile land to the peasants under his rule for free, and the reason and logic were actually very simple: no one would cherish what was given for free.

Quite different from the misunderstanding of later generations of keyboard warriors, many short-sighted farmers often sell their land for nothing because of their family's shortcomings and money to spend.

The land was sold, and he had no skills, so he could only go to work as a long-term worker for the landlord's family. But the problem is that the landlord's family hires long-term workers, and will only ask for the old way of producing more grain with good farming skills, instead of using their own grain to feed the idlers.

There were more landless peasants, and the commerce and handicrafts in the cities, because of the constraints of the small-scale peasant economy, were far from being able to accommodate so much surplus labor.

Once there is a natural or man-made disaster that causes the fields to fail or fail to harvest, displaced people will also come into being.

The homeless people who can't eat enough are actually the creatures that the rulers of all dynasties are most afraid of. Historical records tell the imperial courts that the exiles are the most important force in destroying the foundation of rule and even subverting vested interest groups.

There is a constant birth, Si has perseverance!

Li Zhongyi's ownerless fertile land in the Pinglu area, or the fertile land that he had robbed of his house, was all declared his personal private property, not the so-called public land of the local government.

The land is owned by Li Zhongyi, which is based on the small peasant society, the land is state-owned!

Land, as the most important source of livelihood and wealth at the present stage, if it is owned by the local government, then, under the collusion of the officials and gentry, the disguised sale of land finance, the sale of state-owned assets at a cheap price, the price of subland to fill the good land, and the embezzlement of state-owned land, all these ugly phenomena will continue to hollow out the foundation of Li Zhongyi's rule.

In fact, the root cause of Li Zhongyi's control of the land is that he does not trust civil officials and is not greedy for money, and regards every civil official who holds real power as a thief who is likely to steal his purse!

Therefore, in the entire Pinglu area, the transfer envoys in charge of land sales are all elite officers selected from the military and political academy, and their words and deeds are controlled by military law.

The state-owned land owned by Li Zhongyi can be rented to landless peasants for cultivation at a very low rent, but it will not be given to them. If you want to own your own land, you must rely on hard-working hands, hard-working spirit, and rely on your ability to buy land and property.

It is no exaggeration to say that in an agrarian society, as long as we grasp the bull's nose of rational land distribution, the biggest contradiction between the government and the people will be solved at the root.

Combined with water conservancy and irrigation facilities, as well as emergency relief measures such as regular liquidation, farmers will be able to eat enough even if they are hit by a disaster, and there will be hope when they have food, and it will be difficult for large areas of displaced people to appear.

"Master, there's a chicken feather letter from Kaifeng."

Just as Li Zhongyi was in deep thought, a personal maid took a letter and walked quickly to his side.

Li Zhongyi opened the chicken feather letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but be furious, in order to deal with him, an anti-bone boy, several important ministers in the court actually proposed to be a vassal to the Khitan and lead the Khitan iron horse south.

This is just that, some people shamelessly call it: borrowing teachers to help suppress, citing the precedent of Tang Suzong blatantly borrowing troops from Hui in order to quell the Anshi Rebellion.

Li Zhongyi happened to read this paragraph in the old Tang Dynasty book, and the historical records were clear and clear, and that period of the past was definitely a great shame of the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty.

After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Tang Xuanzong fled Chang'an in panic, and the crown prince Li Heng took the opportunity to establish himself as emperor.

In order to quell the chaos as soon as possible, Li Heng begged for help from the Hui Yingwu Khan, and the reward was that when he recovered the western capital of Chang'an, all the beauties and property were burned and plundered by the Hui people and returned to China.

Later, because Li Heng was afraid that conniving at the barbarians to sack Chang'an, it would cause panic among the people of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and he defended An Qingxu to the death, and changed to bloody Luoyang.

Later, Li Heng conspired to murder the surrendered general Shi Siming, and after the conspiracy was revealed, Shi Siming rebelled again, and Li Heng's son Li Yu followed his father's example and begged for help from Hui on the same terms.

In 762 AD, the Hui army helped the Tang army recover Luoyang and once again sacked Luoyang.

The people of Luoyang, who should be protected by the imperial court, were helpless and cried under the iron hooves of the barbarians, how miserable was it?

"Dog thief Li Gu, I will kill your whole family!" Li Zhongyi was so angry that he got up, and the tea utensils and saucers on the stone table were all swept out, falling to pieces, and making a frightening breaking sound.

"Someone came, pass on my military order, and ordered Guo Huai, the commander of the Lingzhou army, to unite the Fuzhou Zhejia, the Linzhou Yang family and the cavalry of the party departments according to the original battle plan, and after a month, go north out of Shengzhou and attack the Xijing Road of the Khitans."

"Order the Senate Department to speed up the transportation of grain, grass and other materials and assemble in Qizhou."

After Li Zhongyi issued a series of military orders, he resisted his dry mouth and continued: "Order the generals above the command level of each department to report to Linzi in three days to discuss the plan of sending troops to the west to enter the king. ”

As soon as Chu Xiong heard this, he guessed Li Zhongyi's thoughts, the Lord is going to do it in advance!

PS: There will be at least one shift tonight, sent out in the early morning at the latest, and ask for encouragement from the monthly pass!
