Chapter 389: A Heavy Burden Upon Yourself
"Yuan Qi, you can take the initiative to take over the restructuring of Tuntian, which really impresses me!" summoned Liu Cheng into the palace, and Liu Yuan's first sentence was full of appreciation.
The "kindness" in Liu Yuan's tone that could be felt, Liu Cheng's heart was slightly relieved, and he calmly responded to Liu Yuan: "I can share the worries of my father and the emperor, and my sons are not very honored!" ”
Liu Yuan was also used to Liu Cheng's unnutritious words, paused for a while, and said slowly: "The restructuring of Tuntian is a major event of the country. This matter should be done with caution and not in a hurry. However, although there is a three-year period, the early preparations are proper, and there are millions of people across the country, but if there is a mistake, it is chaos. ”
"Erchen understands!" Liu Cheng's expression also became serious.
"Last year, the people of Tun were scattered, and the Tuntian was invaded, and I will hand over the final matters to you. Starting from Guanzhong, the investigation was carried out step by step, and the whole country, whether he was a prince or a local tyrant, but if he had embezzled state assets, he could be disposed of. Measure responsibility and punishment, you can control it! Liu Yuan commanded.
"No!"
"I have another task for you!" Liu Yuan spoke up again.
Liu Cheng was surprised in his heart, what happened to Liu Yuan today, it was rare to send him some errands in the past, and this time, there were a lot of them. There was a thought in his heart, but his face was very respectful: "Please show my father!" ”
"It is also necessary to survey the tuntian fields of the whole country, and I want to take advantage of the situation to carry out a measurement and inventory of the cultivated land across the country. Whether it is an official field or a private field, it needs to be registered, and I will also hand over this matter to you, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs will cooperate with you from Shangshu Su Shuang and below! ”
Liu Cheng frowned less, lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and then made a gesture: "Erchen takes the order!" ”
"It's a big project, and you don't have to rush. Eat one bite at a time, do things one by one, don't rush for quick success! Liu Yuan admonished.
"Erchen understands!"
Walking out of the propaganda room, Liu Cheng's expression was more serious all the way, and he had nothing to do in the past, and there was nothing to do. Now as soon as Liu Yuan sends him errands, they come one after another, and none of them are easy or easy to do.
It seems to deal with the occupation of the people of Tuntian by the nobles, this is a job that offends people. As far as he knew, there were many nobles of the Xia Kingdom, and there were many Hu and Han nobles who stepped on the line and took the opportunity to swallow them. With Liu Yuan's endorsement, it is not difficult for them to spit it out, but as an executor, even if he is the respect of the prince, he is afraid that he will also be hated.
There is also the matter of checking and measuring the cultivated land in the whole country, if the land in the world is registered with the government, it is a good thing. But it is very difficult to carry it out, but it is not small. The official land is acceptable, this private field, Liu Cheng knows that the nobles of the Xia Kingdom have hidden a lot of land, and those who hide do not have to pay taxes.
All of them were exposed at once, but I am afraid that the work of measuring and checking will be difficult to carry out, and the local officials in Xia Kingdom do not have the executive power. Not to mention the aristocratic family, it is an ordinary Shengdou small people, you have to measure his land, but I am afraid that not many people are willing, and if the amount is too large and the amount is small, some people will not accept it.
The more he thought about it, the heavier Liu Cheng's heart became, and the burden that Liu Yuan put on him was too much to expect. The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the country's land, household registration, and taxes, but this errand is really not easy to do, Liu Cheng sighed silently in his heart.
"Your Highness!" Hu Chi'er, who was waiting outside the palace gate with his heart full of thoughts, immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Back to the palace!" Getting into the car from behind, Liu Cheng's brain was spinning wildly, constantly calculating.
"Next, you're going to have to be busy!" After a long time, Liu Cheng smiled bitterly and exhaled deeply. Sticking out his head and looking at the blue sky, it was so clear and bright, and the little depression in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot.
Back to the palace, go straight to the study, take out the paper, write and draw on it, sometimes crumple it up, abandon it, Liu Cheng is a little upset.
"Your Highness, Fa Zheng Gongzi has arrived!" The steward said.
"Please!" As soon as he raised his head, Liu Cheng immediately commanded.
"Xiaozhi, don't blame you for sending someone to invite you into the house in such a hurry!" personally welcomed Fa Zheng into the case and poured a duel of wine for him, Liu Cheng said gently.
"Your Highness's words are out of sight!" Fa Zheng chuckled, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at Liu Cheng: "Has Your Highness encountered any difficulties?" ”
Looking at Liu Cheng's expression, you can find out a thing or two from it.
Liu Cheng was not verbose, and directly brought the errands sent to him by Liu Yuan one by one.
"The father and the emperor suddenly had a heavy responsibility with loneliness, and he was lonely and did not measure his virtue and strength, and he responded to it in a word. I am quite worried, and I deeply hate the lack of talent and morality, and I have missed state affairs! Liu Cheng seemed to have some remorse on his face.
Hearing this, Fa Zheng thought for a while, a smile appeared in his eyes, he took a sip of wine, and looked at Liu Cheng: "Regarding this matter, Your Highness is afraid that he has already thought it through, and he should have a belly in his heart!" ”
"The errand entrusted by His Majesty is complicated and complicated, time-consuming and laborious, but this is exactly what His Majesty has done to test His Highness. If you want to do this, you need to rise to the challenge and break through the obstacles, and those who are not determined cannot do it. Fa Zheng said solemnly: "Your Highness, you only need to act diligently and advance everything step by step." Let Your Majesty see His Royal Highness's determination to be diligent in royal affairs and share worries for the imperial father! ”
"Easier said than done!" Liu Cheng sighed.
After a moment of silence, Liu Cheng's eyes were more thoughtful, and Fa Zheng leisurely tasted the wine of King Zheng's mansion. The famous wine jade shallot, which is rare to eat in the Dharma. When Liu Yuan rewarded his father Fa Yan, he was able to get some light and taste it.
"Dare to ask Your Highness!" Putting down the wine lord, Fa Zheng asked out loud: "Do you want to be in the supreme position?" ”
"Filial piety and prudence!" Liu Cheng came back to his senses, stared at Fa Zheng's eyes, and scolded slightly: "Don't talk nonsense! ”
"As a royal prince alone, I only know how to be filial to Your Majesty and loyal to Great Xia, how dare I think of anything wrong! Moreover, on the grandson, on the long, on the virtuous, where to get the turn to be lonely! ”
Listening to Liu Cheng's insincere words, the smile on Fa Zheng's face became even stronger. was stared at with a little shame, and Liu Cheng felt for the first time that Fa Zheng's face was so "hateful".
"The father's attitude of inspecting the sons is obvious, and with the pride of the father's emperor swallowing heaven and earth, he will never be attached to the elder system. There is a chance, and Lone naturally wants to fight! With a solemn expression, Liu Cheng said firmly.
"The administration of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is an opportunity for His Highness to win the Sacred Heart. No matter what you do, you must let Your Majesty see that Your Highness is conscientious. Fa Zheng also became serious for the first time.
Facing Fa Zheng's gaze, Liu Cheng showed joy on his face, and from Fa Zheng's words, he felt the change in his attitude and the past, and he was officially accepting his sincerity.
"Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, now filial piety has been cultivated Qi family, I don't know if I am willing to help Gu this time!" Liu Cheng looked at Fa Zheng with a little expectation.
Fa Zheng is twenty-four or five years old, and he has children, but he has never had the intention of entering Shixia Kingdom, and Liu Cheng mentioned it several times, but he was politely refused. This time, Liu Cheng mentioned it again, and he felt something, and he would agree.
"Don't dare to die!" Fa Zheng handed over.
"Lonely tomorrow will be on the table, and recommend filial piety to the head of the Ministry of the People!" Liu Cheng was a little excited.
