Chapter 17: The Pilgrimage

Chang'an Zhuque Gate, every day before dawn, there will be officials here one after another to wait for the court, in fact, sometimes it is quite hard to be an official, such as the officials of the last dynasty, this time is a kind of torture for them, but there is no way, if you want to be an official, then you naturally have to pay.

Fang Xuanling sat in his own carriage, this time in the court was different from other times, you must know that he always felt poor in spirit before, not only him, even some generals who can survive are mostly like this, but today is different.

Last night, I don't know why the dragon is fierce, and when I think of the lady's coquettishness, I still have a little old comfort, and I sleep with a smile on the corner of my mouth, I thought that I might be in bad spirits when I went to court today, after all, last night was indeed more than when I used to.

But I didn't expect that there was no trace of tiredness on the way to the court, which was a little wrong, and after thinking about what I did and what I ate yesterday, the answer naturally came out quickly.

"No wonder I dare to sell it for a consistent amount of money, this Laihua... No, this thing is called a radish, and the effect of this radish is so magical, it seems that you have to go and see it. โ€

Looking at the drowsy appearance of the people around him, looking at his radiant self, Fang Xuanling was very happy, and planned to go to the Wushuang supermarket in Pingkangfang after the dispersal of the dynasty, the taste of radish was still very delicious, just thinking about it made me feel endless.

In fact, it's not just the ministers who are drowsy, but when there is nothing important, Li Shimin is the same, for example, now he feels very sleepy, after all, he has three thousand beauties in the harem, and it is understandable that he is a little tired.

The eunuchs around him were very discerning, and they understood it after seeing His Majesty's expression.

"If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat..."

"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play!" Fang Xuanling stood up and said.

Well, generally loyal ministers are unpleasant, such as Wei Zheng, such asยทยท The current Fang Xuanling.

"Quasi-play." Li Shimin cheered up, he knew that Fang Xuanling would not be untargeted, he said that if there is something, there must be something.

"Your Majesty, what the minister wants to play is to appease the exile, in recent years, the effect of appeasing the exile is quite significant, the population has increased everywhere, but there are also some problems to be solved."

Of course, Fang Xuanling will not say this for no reason, Chang'an, as the capital, is naturally longed for by people, so many displaced people come to Chang'an, but the problem is that Chang'an's land is also limited, it is impossible to accept so many displaced people, there is no grain harvest without land, and the imperial court cannot collect taxes without harvest, and these people have no food, so how do these people live? This has become a major problem for Chang'an City.

Although it seems to be okay now, if it is not managed now, I am afraid that even bigger problems will erupt in the future.

"What Aiqing said is very true, but I don't know what the problem is."

"The number of displaced people is increasing day by day, but Chang'an does not have so much land, there are many displaced people, there are many wandering people, recently it has caused a number of theft and brawls and other incidents, Chang'an residents are miserable, and these people sell themselves as slaves in order to live in a large number, in the long run, the people have no fixed place to live in peace, and the unscrupulous people can not increase taxes, no agricultural mulberry will be unstable, no unscrupulous people, no taxes, no soldiers, no service, so please ask Your Majesty to order the relocation of displaced people!"

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, the military general Wenchen naturally nodded his head, what could he do if he didn't nod? There are too many people living in Chang'an, and there are good and bad things for them, but after all, there are still more benefits.

But what Fang Xuanling said is also true, if these homeless people are all sold into slavery because they can't survive, then those distant states and counties will have no place to collect taxes and levy soldiers and labor because there is no one to farm, then their good life will naturally be gone, so they can only support Fang Xuanling.

"Aiqing is reasonable, and immediately ordered the Chang'an County Ya to thoroughly check the household registration, all those who have a record of staying in Chang'an without permission will be repatriated to their hometowns, and those who have no records will be displaced people, and they will be sent to various prefectures and counties to enrich the localities, and they will be implemented immediately! Aiqing is still in trouble? โ€

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked at Fang Xuanling and said, Fang Xuanling bowed down: "There is nothing else to do, just ask Your Majesty to focus on the dragon body and don't bother." โ€

The meaning of these words is clearly to care about Li Shimin, but in Li Shimin's opinion, this is not the case, the Manchu Dynasty civil, military and military generals are okay, although they are sleepy and not sluggish, but the Wenchen side can be...

Fang Xuanling has become an outlier among the ministers, after hearing his concern, Li Shimin really misunderstood Fang Xuanling's words, and he was unhappy in his heart, why, you became the emperor and even you have to take care of the affairs of your own harem?

"If you have nothing to do, then retreat, Fang Aiqing, you stay for a while, I have something to ask you."

After retiring from the dynasty, Fang Xuanling stayed, and the strange thing is that several generals also stayed, and the emperor did not keep them.

"Prime Minister Fang, Your Majesty announced that you will enter the palace."

A little eunuch came to Fang Xuanling's side and said, followed the little eunuch for a while, but arrived... Frost Temple.

After Fang Xuanling entered, what he saw was Li Shimin lying on the bed, which was a bit disregardful of the image.

"Fang Aiqing is here, come and give me a seat."

The little eunuch moved a stool and put it behind Fang Xuanling, then stepped back and closed the door.

"Aiqing, but I want to ask why I am like this?"

Looking at Fang Xuanling's strange appearance, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said.

"It's really a little strange, Your Majesty was fine a few days ago, why is he suddenly so weak today?"

"Hahaha, Aiqing is guessing in her heart that the widow is lustful and greedy? In fact, I really don't, these days I suddenly feel dizzy, although I enjoyed some yesterday, but the past is the same or even more, but I have never been as uncomfortable as today, today in the palace I see Aiqing's face is ruddy and full of energy, I think there must be that good way to maintain the body, why not share it with me? โ€

It turned out that Fang Xuanling had a good complexion, so he wanted to find out the reason and see if he could take care of his body, after all, the emperor actually had secret agents in the mansions of various ministers, both in the open and in the dark, and the major courtiers also knew this, if there was no such at home, it would not be a good signal.

So what Fang Xuanling did last night, he is actually clear, and it is precisely because of this that he wants to ask, after all, everyone is a lot older, why are you still in good spirits in the spring breeze all night, and I almost collapsed in the middle of the night?

"I see, if you say that there is no way to cultivate the body... But yesterday the minister met a good thing, the minister's son Fang Jun, now that I think about it, it should be the effect of the radish. โ€

After Fang Xuanling said his conjecture, Li Shimin, the emperor, was immediately moved, how could he not let himself enjoy such a good thing.
