Chapter 132: Does this king read less than you?
In the hall, the door of the house was closed, and several huge braziers slowly raised the temperature in the room, except for Li Yuanji and Wei Chi Jingde, everyone else was drooling, or wiping with a handkerchief, or simply sucking it directly.
Wei Chi Jingde's face was full of embarrassment, and he sat there as if he was on the bar with the tea, not saying a word from beginning to end, just drinking tea vigorously.
As soon as a cup was finished, a very discerning servant immediately added it, a full cup, a little less dissatisfied, and a little more overflowing, and Wei Chi Jingde had to lie down and suck it every time he drank tea, otherwise he would be sprinkled all over his body.
Li Yuanji, who turned grief and anger into strength, was looking through the land information of Xianyang County, how much room there was in the county, and where the location was, it was clear at a glance.
"That's not right! This king has inquired before, and you Xianyang County also has one hundred and fifty tilts of land, why is it that there are only ten tilts left in you? Closing the land book, Li Yuanji asked with a frown.
The situation here is very different from what I know, and the information I got was the first-hand information I got from my uncle Dou Jin in the household department, even if the government below has not had time to report the latest information, but the gap should not be so big.
Moreover, according to the land book, the land in Xianyang County is not much, and even 20 acres of land is very small, scattered throughout all the districts of the county.
"Your Highness doesn't know, this year ago there was indeed a hundred and fifty leeway, but now it is indeed gone, only these are left in the account." Cui Ju first explained the general situation, but he also knew that this explanation was obviously not satisfactory to Li Yuanji, so he simply continued preparedly:
"Xianyang is not far from Chang'an, and the location is relatively safe, so there are a lot of people who have settled in Xianyang this year, and the government has not regularly granted land in accordance with the regulations, mainly because the population is too large, and if it is not busy at all according to the regulations, it can only be split and dispersed."
Li Yuanji was not satisfied with this answer, but there was nothing he could do.
One hundred and forty is more than enough, and less is enough, only one hundred and forty Ding men over the age of eighteen are needed.
Tang Cong Sui system, 18 years old Ding men each divided 80 acres of land, 20 acres of Yongye field, old men, disabled, divided into 40 acres of land.
If Cui Ju said that there are 140 people in the jurisdiction who have grown into Ding men, then he may still have some beliefs, after all, a county is so big, let alone 70,000 or 80,000 people, and there are not many 140 adult men a year.
But what Cui Ju said was that many people migrated here.
The Tang Dynasty had strict requirements for the migration of the people, that is, the narrow township could be moved to the wide township, and the narrow township and the wide township could be moved to the border.
Moreover, the land granted in the narrow townships was never in full, that is to say, in fact, one hundred and forty tilts of land were often granted to two hundred, or even three hundred, or more, and only in the broad townships and the frontiers would grant the full amount.
"What? Didn't Cui County Ling Mo think that this king didn't understand the law? Fingers lightly tapped on the table, making a clattering sound, very regular, Li Yuanji looked at Cui Ju with a smile.
"The lower officials don't dare! If His Highness needs it, the lower officials can arrange for the adjustment of the cultivated land and set aside thirty hectares of land for His Highness. Cui Ju was terrified in his mouth, but he said without fear on his face.
The Cui family asked Cui Ju to entertain King Qi as a partner, and the two sides were in the honeymoon period, so Cui Ju naturally would not make King Qi unhappy.
But after all, the family is a family, and the first thing they consider when doing things is always interests, and they will never do things without interests.
Cui Ju's words are obvious, there is no land, but as long as you open your mouth, I will fight to make Xianyang County angry, and I will also make thirty hectares of land for you.
"Huh!" Li Yuanji sneered, it's been so long since he came to the Tang Dynasty, what kind of person hasn't seen it? Cui Ju's meaning can naturally be understood by him.
I have to say that the Cui family is playing very beautifully, but isn't the Cui family afraid to play off?
The land is the land that Li Shimin paid for himself, and where to choose is up to the king himself, "No need, this king's land was originally used to benefit the people, how can I go to the people to work and mobilize the people?" It's not easy for them, so forget it, this king heard that there is still a lot of room for Bashang, so he will go back to Chang'an first, and then go to Bashang tomorrow to have a look. ”
"This ......" Cui Ju looked confused, how could King Qi be like this? Could it be that if you open your mouth, you will die? You don't even bother to say a word, do you have to run a few more times?
The very discerning master noticed that the situation seemed to be a little wrong, pretended to have something to do and left the hall, and turned back in an instant, holding another land book in his hand, and said: "Your Highness, Ming Mansion, just now the little official reported that there was an error in the statistics, this is the new booklet that was just counted yesterday, and there is room for twenty inclinations in the place where it is handed over to Chang'an." ”
"Bastard, how do you do this? Why so carelessness? Almost broke the business. Cui Ju immediately put on a serious face and reprimanded the master fiercely.
"Yes! Be! The little official only counted it overnight yesterday, and overslept at home today, and when he came here just now, he heard about the incident here, so he immediately rushed over to report. "The master sang and said.
"If you are careless, you will punish him for this month." Cui Ju continued to speak sternly, turned to a different face, and looked at Li Yuanji with a smile: "Your Highness, these twenty tilts of land are yours, and the next officials will run more, and let these thirty acres of land be connected as much as possible." ”
'Diaphragm ......'
Yu Chi Jingde clutched his stomach in pain, wanting to raise his hand to beat the very eye-catching subordinate, but found that he didn't seem to have the strength at all.
Even he forgot how much tea he had drunk, and he wanted to stop, but when he stopped, he would think about what had happened before, and he would feel embarrassed when he thought about it, so he could only keep drinking.
The very discerning subordinate kept pouring tea, and even asked other subordinates to find a few more people to make tea, so as not to affect Wei Chi Jingde's interest.
Wei Chi Jingde's burp was very timely, and he cut off Cui Ju's rhythm, and when there was such a fuss in the middle, the favor that Cui Ju forcibly gave to Li Yuanji was also diluted a lot.
"Then let's go through the formalities!" Li Yuanji nodded, sample, do you want me to open your mouth to admit your feelings? Don't even think about it.
"Okay, then do it!" Cui Ju nodded a little sadly, a little speechless at Li Yuanji, and a little hated Wei Chi Jingde, a troublemaker.
Chunhua, who was very eyeless, continued to stand behind Li Yuanji, not knowing what he was thinking? It's just a daze anyway.
Compared with the subordinates in Cui Ju's mansion, Chunhua is like an elm pimple, he can't think at all, and he can't look at people's eyes at all.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Li Yuanji felt that he could really stand up and would be a slap in the face, which was too embarrassing.
Chunhua, who realized it later, took out the title deed issued by the household department from his arms, and then handed it to Cui Ju, who then exchanged it for the title deed of Xianyang County, so that a set of procedures could be considered complete.
Li Yuanji, who felt that he had lost face all day today, instantly dispelled the idea of staying here for one night.
Li Yuanji found that everyone in Cui Ju's mansion seemed to be very eye-catching, and he really didn't know if those guys who were very eye-catching would arrange him and Wei Chi Jingde in a room tonight, and he had goosebumps all over his body when he thought about it.
Throwing away the carriage, Li Yuanji got on his horse and galloped all the way against the cold wind, bound to return to Chang'an before dark.
……
In the East Palace, Li Er, who had gradually recovered from the rebellion of the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian, sat in the Lizheng Hall in a somewhat dull mood.
Li Er recovered, but Empress Changsun fell into it.
Her mother's family is going to be punished by the nine clans, and she herself is exempt from punishment because of the identity of the queen and Li Shimin's trust, but the eldest grandson queen would rather be punished with her mother's family, every time she thinks of the consequences of the rebellion, the eldest grandson queen can't sleep in a hurry, and washes her face with tears all day long.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still two little ones who needed her care, Empress Eldest Sun felt that she would not be able to survive now.
"Guanyin, do you remember the incident when I was assassinated before?" Seeing that persuasion from left and right had no effect, Li Shimin had to throw out another center of gravity.
Empress Eldest Sun nodded, her husband was assassinated, how could she forget? It's just that last time it was rumored that it was a killer arranged by King Qi.
"Those killers were arranged by your brother, they first pretended to be the heroes invited by the King of Qi, made a big fuss in Taipingfang, dropped cruel words and quickly left, and then it was these people who assassinated me." Li Shimin said in a flat tone.
Li Shimin also just knew about this matter not long ago, although he had doubts before, but after the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian were imprisoned for rebellion, the killer who had been hiding before was actually hidden in the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion, it was unfortunate that the only remaining killer was dead, and he was directly stoned to death by the collapsed house, and he didn't say it before, because he didn't know what to say.
"Woo~~~" Empress Changsun continued to wipe her tears, and the evidence proved that his brother and uncle were indeed plotting rebellion, as the queen, she had no ability to save them, nor did she have the ability to die with them, Empress Changsun felt that she was very useless, and she was under huge pressure, and she didn't know what to do, how to face her husband.
"Don't cry, I and you are a husband and wife in distress, we have gone through so many hardships together, no matter what, I only hope to be with you and stay together until old age." Li Shimin took Empress Changsun into his arms, he really didn't blame Empress Changsun, and he didn't even blame her.
Li Er's personal eunuch strode into the Lizheng Hall with great strides, in the past, the most important thing he should do was to ignore incivility, but this time he did not shy away from it, but made a louder noise as much as possible to attract Li Shimin's attention.
"Your Majesty, General Wei Chi reports urgently!"
