Chapter 416: Three-year expiration
Liu Xia's side has already entered Liu Yuan's eight years of Qiande.
Guanzhong, Zheng County, on this large piece of fertile soil in the Yin of Weishui, since the beginning of spring, the Shun people who have submitted to the Liu Xia Dynasty have been extremely excited, and they will have a land that belongs to them completely.
By this year, the three-year contract has expired, and the Tuntian reform of the Xia Kingdom is finally about to be implemented to the last step. At the end of last year, the imperial court issued an edict, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs also issued official documents to various places. The local government was instructed to officially settle the tuntian that met the requirements in the tunmin.
Liu Yuan and the central center are extremely optimistic about this matter, which is related to the stability of the millions of people in the Xia Kingdom, and the credibility of the Great Xia Imperial Court, and there is no room for error. The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Imperial Historical Observatory have sent commissioners to all counties and counties to supervise and implement this matter.
Zheng County as a large county in Weinan, the county has always had a lot of tun people, because of the military disaster that year, in addition to a small part of the county's self-cultivated fields and military fields, the remaining more than 60 percent are tuntian tun people. By this year, there are more than 7,000 households that meet the three-year period.
In response to the decree of the imperial court, after the ice and snow melted in the early spring, all the officials in the county were mobilized and assigned to the countryside and land from pavilion to mile. In the past three years, all the land and residents in the county have been counted, and the government archives have been recorded. In a well-prepared county like Zheng County, the implementation of the imperial decree this time is simple, and it only needs to be implemented according to the registered records of fields and households.
However, Rao is like this, more than 7,000 households have divided their fields into households, and with the replacement of some official farming tools, the officials in Zheng County are also very busy. The county commander led by himself, personally led people, traveled all over the county, and almost broke his leg.
Xiaozhu Township is the largest township in Zheng County today, with a population of more than 700 households, of which nearly 300 are villagers. Today's Zheng County Commander Zheng Zhu was born here, perhaps in order to let the county magistrate "return to his hometown", and the tuntian to the household in Xiaozhu Township was put last.
Since Zheng Zhu entered the township with several subordinate officials and dozens of county soldiers, the entire Xiaozhu Township has been lively. The people were eager to see the land that was about to belong to them, and naturally warmly welcomed Zheng Zhu's arrival. As for the rest of the villagers, whether new or old, they inevitably came to join in the fun when they learned that the long-rumored "pride of Xiaozhu Township" in the township had returned.
Many years have passed, Zheng Zhu has already grown a mustache, and his face is majestic. Glancing left and right at the villagers who welcomed him, he saw many familiar faces, greeted them kindly, and then gave a speech quite close to the people, wishing them a "better life" in the future.
After a full five days, Zheng County's largest tun people's place, Tuntian, was settled, and the implementation was completed. With the information of the last household being checked, the land deed and deed were issued, and they were instructed to keep it, the restructuring of Zheng County's tuntian was declared over.
"Remember that within a year, when you go to the county seat, you will deliver grain to buy the ploughing tools used by you to plough the cattle!" One of the subordinates was still admonishing the farmer, who seemed to be very honest.
Behind the old man, there were probably his two sons, both of whom were happy. From now on, they will have their own land, and their family of six will cultivate nearly seventy acres of land.
The old man already thought that with the land, the one-year-old work was enough to repay the government. The second son is almost old, and if he works for another year, he should marry a fine gentleman. There is still a lot of wasteland in the surrounding area, and after three years, the family can harvest some of the land.
The old man thinks a lot, far away, he has never been so full of expectations and hope for the future, the whole person seems to be glowing with a second spring, full of energy.
The performance of a father and son, Zheng Zhu looked at it all on the side, and was silently relieved in his heart, for more than two months, his nerves have been tense tightly, and the county is too tired. Now that the errand has been completed, nothing has gone wrong.
"Thank you, Lord Prefectural!" The old man and his two sons bowed down.
"If you want to thank Your Majesty the Emperor, thank you for the Great Xia Imperial Court!" Zheng Zhu smiled and arched his hand.
has been an official for so many years, but Zheng Zhu has become more and more aware of the way of being an official. It's not just age that grows, it's also ability and insight.
"My lord, this Great Xia County, I'm afraid that there is no county or county that can handle the Tuntian restructuring so quickly and so perfectly as my Zheng County, and it will only take three months!" The county man walked to Zheng Zhu's side and arched his hand, his words full of admiration.
"My lord has been preparing for this matter since three years ago, so that it is so fast and smooth today!" The master also came up and patted his ass: "My lord is about to be promoted to the county government as a senior member!" ”
"That's it!" Zheng Zhu stopped his flattering subordinates and arched his hands to the west: "I just respect the orders of the imperial court, and I finally live up to the expectations of the imperial court!" ”
At the same time, I silently recited in my heart, and finally lived up to His Royal Highness King Zheng's expectations! He Zheng Zhu, from a prodigal son in the township at the beginning, has gone through township officials and county officials, and has become a large county magistrate today, less than ten years before and after. The career is so smooth, there is a lot of support from Liu Cheng behind him, and Zheng Zhu has always been loyal to Liu Cheng.
And the Tuntian matter, from beginning to end, is in charge of Liu Cheng, King Zheng, he has done it beautifully, and Liu Cheng of Chang'an also has a long face.
......
In the past two years, Chang'an has been more lively than ever. In the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Liu Cheng is also working hard for the restructuring of Tuntian, and he has been preparing for so long, and millions of Tuntian affairs have to be dealt with, and the time has come to test his ability to control Liu Cheng.
Today's Ministry of Civil Affairs, the real person in charge is Liu Cheng, who holds the post of secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Su Shuang, the original Shangshu, was ordered by Liu Yuan to take the title, remove him from his post and exile his family, the reason is naturally that he committed a crime. Taking advantage of his position, secretly seeking personal gain, coupled with the rampant family, there are many evils, which have reached Liu Yuan's ears.
As soon as he went to Sushuang, there were rumors that Liu Yuan unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, crossed the river and demolished the bridge, after all, Su Shuang made a lot of efforts in the process of Liu Yuan's southern attack. And Su Shuang is also quite resentful of this. This angered Liu Yuan again, and made a decree that he ordered his family to die on the way to exile.
Zhang Shiping, who served as the salt and iron transfer envoy, did not escape the dismissal, but the "good fate" formed more than 20 years ago saved his life, and Concubine Bian said a word for him. Although he still lost his official position and lost his title, he still left 20% of his family property, and in Chang'an, Zhang Shiping could still be an "imperial businessman".
Liu Xia's current superstructure, all the sons have completely stood in the foreground. Prince Liu Rui, acting minister. Liu Heng and Liu Heng were released again after Liu Yuan was idle for a year, Liu Heng was in the military department, and Liu Heng was in the criminal department.
Liu Yuan's arrangement immediately alerted the people of the prince's family, who had grown a lot, and they didn't dare to get carried away as before.
On the second hall, Liu Cheng carefully read the Tuntian affairs reported by various places in recent months. At the bottom, there are many directors and Lang Zhong sorting out the reports of all parties, and it is a busy scene.
Liu Xia, not every county is as adequate as Zheng County's preparations, not every county order has Zheng Zhu's ability, and they are all as cautious as Zheng Zhu. Therefore, according to the reports reported by various localities and the Ministry of Civil Affairs' own supervisory personnel, the problem of tuntian reaching households is very large.
There are those who are not implemented by the government effectively, delay the time, and cause the people to be uncertain; There are government preparations that are not sufficient, and they are not familiar with the civil affairs of the various tuntiantun, and the imperial court edict begins to screen carefully, which is inefficient; There are also some people who seem to be deliberately resisting and want to add to the trouble...... In short, from the perspective of Hu Xia nationwide, although it is constantly advancing, the progress is not fast!
"Those mediocre people should be stopped!" Liu Cheng patted the case and said coldly. He was so angry that he never found out that there were so many mediocre talents in Great Xia.
"Such a trivial thing can't be done, how can these people govern the people of a county!" Liu Cheng grimaced: "You can imagine how difficult my people of Daxia will be to survive under the rule of this cadre!" ”
When the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs heard this, they all bowed their heads, and they all knew that Liu Cheng was venting. In the past two days, Liu Cheng has been completely dealing with land, population, and money and food. The implementation of the Tuntian restructuring is an answer sheet that he wants to hand over to Liu Yuan, and he cares about it very much.
"Your Highness!" Fa Zhengxiang stepped inside, saluted, and held a stack of folds in his hand.
"Filial piety is coming, let's go!" Calling Fa Zheng to his side, Liu Cheng was still angry: "Those mediocre officials should really be dismissed with them!"
"It's all abolished, who will Your Majesty use to govern Great Xia?" Fa Zheng chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you have been a little impatient lately."
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "The restructuring of Tuntian is related to the stability of Great Xia, and it has taken so much time and energy, but at the end of this season, the people below are not in a hurry, how can you not be in a hurry!"
Several household officials on the side listened attentively to the conversation between Liu Cheng and Fa Zheng, and sighed in their hearts that the entire household department was so close to Fa Zheng and King Zheng.
"Your Highness, don't just stare at those sluggish counties." Fa Zheng comforted: "There are Wei and Du Ergong in Bingzhou, Jia Taishou in Hedong, and Zhong Zhijun in Liangzhou, the progress of these places is not slow!"
Hearing what Fa Zheng said, Liu Cheng's face looked better, but then he still said in a condensed voice: "I still need to ask for an edict and order all counties and counties to grant land to households within half a year." But if there are overdue, heavy punishment! ”
"There is good news on the minister's side, the matter of Tuntian in Zheng County has been dealt with, there is no omission, no objection, tens of thousands of Tuntian people under his rule, everyone celebrates, praises His Majesty and the court!" Fa Zheng said to Liu Cheng with a smile at this time.
"Zheng County? Zheng Zhu? When Liu Cheng heard this, he didn't see joy, but frowned: "Gu Su knows that Zheng County's progress is not slow, but it is so fast!" Isn't there anything wrong with that? ”
"This is the document submitted by Zheng County to the household department through the county government, please look at it Your Highness!"
Liu Cheng took it and read it carefully, it recorded the beginning and end of the Tuntian incident in Zheng County, which was very detailed, and many details that Liu Cheng wanted to see were not missed.
After a long while, Liu Cheng finally showed a smile and sighed softly: "This little Zheng Zhu gave Gu a surprise!" ”
There was love for Zheng Zhu in his tone: "According to the lonely view, this is a cold door in the small township pavilion, compared to those families retained by Daxia, the ability to govern is much stronger!" ”
Fa Zheng listened to Liu Cheng's words, and he didn't take it seriously, knowing that he was talking angrily. Zheng Zhu is an example after all, although there are still some such cases in Great Xia. The scholars who submitted to Hu Xia still contributed a lot of talents to this dynasty, and he Fazheng was also one of them. Hu Xia can gain a firm foothold in He, Yong, and Liang, and these subservient scholars also have a strength.
"That's it!" Liu Cheng thought about it for a while, and instructed Fa Zheng: "Zheng County has returned from Chang'an in one day, and I will go to Zheng County in person to confirm the matter of Zheng County for Gu!" ”
Liu Cheng rose in Zheng County, and he is the king of Zheng, so he has special feelings for this county. If Zheng County's side is true, then he is ready to promote Zheng Zhu again, so he is extremely cautious about this, and he intends to promote Zheng County as a model for counties in the world.
Until Fa Zheng returned, Liu Cheng entered the palace with joy and wanted to tell Liu Yuan directly.
Liu Yuan in the imperial palace, in the past two years, except for the usual work on military affairs, life has been very dull. The discussion of the storage position ended temporarily with Liu Rui staying in the East Palace, and the Xia Kingdom had a period of peace, even if it was on the surface. The entire Xia Kingdom seemed to be very calm, and for the Xia Kingdom, peace was precious.
There are quite a few changes in his harem.
Si Concubine Liu (Princess Wannian of the Han Dynasty) was killed, and she was not very favored in the summer palace, and she repeatedly said that she thought of Han, which made Liu Yuan even more disliked. has always wanted to have a child, Liu Yuan is lucky, and his stomach is not angry. When Concubine He Hui died that year, she wanted to raise her son Liu Xun, but was arranged by Liu Yuan to be the queen Liu Zhi. In this way, he died of depression and happiness, and died before he was thirty.
Concubine Dong also went, happy to be pregnant, but died of dystocia, leaving Liu Yuan with a little prince Liu Qi, which can be regarded as a change from joy to mourning.
Concubine Tang gave birth, the baby was born, and died in half a month. Concubine Tang was sick and sick, and then invited herself to move to Zhaotai Palace to be accompanied by Princess Liu Shu.
Princess Liu Shu ......
has completely become an "outdated" princess and gradually faded out of the field of vision. At the beginning, Liu Shu "fell out of favor", but he still caused a wave in the summer palace, causing criticism from top to bottom. provoked Liu Yuan to be furious, and killed dozens of "long-tongued" eunuchs Gong E. And Liu Shu has slowly become a taboo in the summer palace.
But in the depths of Liu Yuan, Liu Shu is still his favorite eldest daughter, but because of that taboo......
For Liu Shu, Liu Yuan had already lifted his grounding order, but Liu Shu seemed to be accustomed to the life of Zhaotai Palace, and still lived in seclusion in the palace, occasionally hunting in Shanglin Yuan to relax. Secretly visited Liu Shu, and when he saw his beloved daughter who had lost her vitality, Liu Yuan felt distressed.
It can be regarded as a good thing, but the Zhen sisters, Zhen Jiang gave birth to a princess to Liu Yuan, and Zhen Luo gave birth to a prince, both of whom are safe and safe.
Liu Yuan discovered one thing, he is quite capable of giving birth and raising, he is not confused after the old age, he can still sow seeds, and his vitality is good. After careful calculation, he already has ten sons and four daughters.
Still in the Xuanshu Palace, the crown prince Liu Rui was dressed in an embroidered dragon robe and reported to Liu Yuan that the imperial examination would be held this year. Seeing Liu Rui talking eloquently, Liu Yuan's attention was on his robe, Liu Yuan mentioned not long ago that the prince was wearing a "dragon robe", and now he has put it on.
As for the imperial examination, it was made by Liu Rui and a clear stream in the past two years, and of course Liu Yuan was indispensable behind the promotion. After preparing for this for a long time, a relatively primitive imperial examination system was studied. In the autumn of this year, the first imperial examination in China will be held in Chang'an, the capital of Emperor Liu Xia.
There are too many women, and I haven't been lucky for a long time, and I'm about to forget about it. Just write a few dead.
