It is an indisputable fact that the scattered gold and silver are indeed not convenient for transportation, and in later dynasties, the government transported tax silver after smelting, and the loss in the smelting process was unavoidable, and the government counted this loss on the people, so the people had to pay both taxes and money.

After Xuanzong collects the money, he will only look at the amount, and will not care about the loss, the reasonable loss is not a matter for Xuanzong, when the loss is too much, Xuanzong and the court will definitely be unhappy, so Zhao Ziliang divided the loss into two parts, one part is counted on the side of the emperor and the court, and the other part is counted on the buyer who buys the grassland.

This is only part of Zhao Ziliang's money, there is another part, that is, there are many people who buy grassland, and it is not so easy for some people to buy pastures with abundant water and grass. In addition, in the measurement of land and grassland, 120,000 mu of grassland is only counted as 100,000 mu, and the money of 120,000 mu is collected, and only 100,000 mu is recorded when making accounts, after all, according to the regulations, each household can only buy 100,000 mu at most, and many people want more and larger grassland, which can only be obtained through this method.

Of course, this kind of thing must be hidden from Cheng Yuanzhen, except for a few people who know about it. Brehan was very puzzled by Zhao Ziliang's use of this method to dig into the corners of the court and the emperor, after all, with Zhao Ziliang's personality, he absolutely disdains it on weekdays, why did he use such a disgraceful method to make money this time?

These days, Brehan followed Zhao Ziliang several times to ask, but he wanted to say something and stopped, Zhao Ziliang had long seen this, and took the time to say to him that day: "Are you wondering how I can use such a dirty trick to make money?" ”

Brehan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, subordinates don't dare!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, it's normal for you to be confused, if it was before, of course I wouldn't have disdained to use this method, but this time I can't do it!" ”

"Master Hou, why is this?"

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "At present, the land annexation of my Datang is serious, the big family holds most of the land, and the common people only occupy a minority, which is a fact. Now that we buy pasture, with the consistent style of those big families, do you think they will really only honestly buy up to 100,000 acres? In order to control more pasture, raise more cattle, sheep and horses, they will do everything possible to buy more pasture, and then conceal the amount of pasture to fool us, especially in the big families in the court, this sale of pasture, the big guys in the DPRK and China did not get benefits, they will not be willing, will try their best to get more pasture, we stipulate in the regulations that each household can only buy and can only own 100,000 mu at most, and prohibit the private resale of pasture, the main purpose is to restrict the family from annexing a large number of pasture, So as to control the sale of livestock, but this can only cure the symptoms and not the root cause, they have a way to circumvent the regulations we have made, so instead of being exploited by them, it is better for us to do this ourselves, we have both benefits, and control the scale, and we can do a lot of things with the money we get for the right way! ”

Brehan arched his hand and said: "My subordinates understand!" ”

When the sale of the grassland was in full swing, Zheng San sent the news from Hedong with the Flying Eagle Messenger, and the Hedong Festival made Tian Renwan die of illness, which made Zhao Ziliang in a trance.

With the relationship between the two, Zhao Ziliang wanted to rush back to Hedong to mourn anyway, he summoned the generals and officials, arranged the aftermath of the departure, and then rushed back to Hedong with his servants galloping back to Hedong in the starry night.

More than 2,000 miles, Zhao Ziliang and Hu Cong kept changing horses, and finally rushed back to Yunzhou after six days of sleeplessness, and more than a dozen horses were killed on the way, this is still because the horses of Hu Slaves are not as fast as the Wuli horse that Zhao Ziliang rides, if he is alone, he can travel thousands of miles a day at the speed of Wuli horse, and he can arrive within three days.

Zhao Ziliang suddenly came back with his entourage, which made his wife Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang and others very happy, but at the same time, he also had some worries.

"Why did the husband come back suddenly? I don't send anyone to deliver a message beforehand! Nie Sanniang asked while rubbing Zhao Ziliang's shoulder.

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "What? You're not happy I'm back? ”

Nie Sanniang couldn't help but snort, slapped Zhao Ziliang, and said, "Of course not, the slave family is worried about whether something happened?" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Yes, I received a message from Zheng San that Lord Tian died of illness, Lord Tian treated me well, with our friendship, I must come back to have a look, I have to rush to Taiyuan tomorrow!" ”

After playing with the three children at home for a day, the next morning, Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang prepared some things for Zhao Ziliang, and Zhao Ziliang left Yunzhou with his servants and rushed to Taiyuan.

When I arrived at the Taiyuan Jiedu Embassy, Tian Renwan's coffin had not yet been buried, and some coffins after the death of the ancients would be parked for three months before they were buried, mainly to leave enough time for relatives, friends and guests to come from afar to worship, after all, the transportation was inconvenient at this time.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei, the Governor of Shan Yu Protectorate, the Governor of Hedong Prefecture, and General Zhao Ziliang, the Lord of Zhenbei City, have arrived-"

Tian Renwan's relatives in the mourning hall in the Jiedu Embassy Mansion were a little surprised when they heard this announcement, you must know that Tian Renwan had only died of illness for seven days, and there were three thousand miles from Beicheng in Mobei Town to Taiyuan, even if they didn't stop at home halfway, they traveled more than 400 miles a day, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could bear.

Tian Renwan's family members were extremely moved, one after another to welcome, including Tian Renwan's nephew Tian Chenghe's highest official position, five years ago when Zhao Ziliang presided over the martial arts examination, Tian Chengsi also participated in it, and achieved a good ranking, now he is under An Lushan, has been promoted to Beiping military envoy, in fact, Tian Renwan's son, but at a very young age passed to Tian Renwan's brother as a son, for the death of his biological father, Tian Chenghei of course to rush back as soon as possible.

Tian Chengsi walked out of the mourning hall with a large group of relatives to greet him, and when he saw Zhao Ziliang, he immediately bowed and bowed: "The student has seen Master Hou, and he has missed the welcome, forgive his sins!" Uncle passed away, Hou Ye galloped back thousands of miles away in the starry night, and the students and many brothers and sisters were grateful! ”

Zhao Ziliang picked up Tian Chenghei, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lord Tian has the grace of knowing me, so there is no need to say kind words, take me to worship Tian Gong!" ”

Tian Chengsi hurriedly said: "Master Hou, please!" ”

When they came to the mourning hall, Zhang Shouyu, Gao Xiuyan and Guo Ziyi and others were there, they stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang nodded, came to the spiritual seat and put on a few sticks of incense, saluted the spiritual seat and the coffin, and was invited to the side to drink tea by Tian Chenghe.

As soon as they sat down, Zhang Shouyu, Gao Xiuyan, Guo Ziyi and others came over to greet him: "I've seen Master Hou!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down, when did you come?" ”

Zhang Shouyu said: "I've just arrived!" Master Hou, some words may be a little inappropriate to say now, but the last general still doesn't vomit unpleasantly! ”

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look at Zhang Shouyu and asked, "Do you want to say that after Lord Tian dies of illness, who will take over the position of Jiedu Envoy?" Will the successor be able to get along? ”

Zhang Shouyu and the three of them all nodded, "Yes, Master Hou, this is exactly what we are worried about!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "If there are not many ministers and generals in the DPRK who understand border affairs, the position of Hedong Jiedu envoy is very important, and it is obviously not very appropriate to send a civil official over, although Lord Tian is also a civilian official, but after all, he has served as the military envoy of Anxi Du, and he knows a little about military affairs, and a civil official who does not understand military affairs and border affairs at all is obviously not suitable for this position, but now there are not many military generals in the court who are qualified to be the envoys of Hedong Jiedu, and the general does not know who the imperial court will send to take over the post of Hedong Jiedu envoy, but you don't have to worry, No matter who is the envoy of the Hedong Festival, you just need to do things impartially! Behave, sit upright, even if the new boss wants to find your bad luck, he will not find an excuse, and isn't this general Hai also serving as the commander of the army? With General Ben in front, you don't have to worry for the time being, there is a message for you, 'Be a low-key person, do things in a high-profile manner!' ’”

The three of them looked at each other, and they all bowed at the same time: "Thank you Master Hou for mentioning it!" ”

In fact, the problem that Zhang Shouyu and others are worried about is also the problem that Zhao Ziliang is worried about, after all, he needs to sit in Mobei, not in Hedong, if the new Jiedu makes a large-scale change in Hedong, the current situation in Hedong is very unfavorable.

But there is nothing to be done now, and it is not known who the emperor will appoint to take over the post of envoy of Hedong Jiedu.

Zhao Ziliang and others stayed in Taiyuan for a day, and rushed back the next day, Gao Xiuyan went back to the garrison of the Lan army after a day with them, and Zhang Shouyu and Guo Ziyi went to Yunzhou with him.

The news of Tian Renwan's death was sent to the capital by 800 miles of expeditious, and Emperor Xuanzong regretted it, but in view of Tian Renwan's commendable achievements in office, the court did not set up a name for him.

The day before Zhao Ziliang was ready to return to Mobei, Wang Can sent a message from the Beijing division with a flying pigeon to send a message saying that the emperor in view of Tian Renwan's death, Hedong could not be left without presiding over the overall situation, but for a while he could not find a suitable candidate, so he ordered Wang Zhongsi to concurrently serve as the envoy of the Hedong Festival, up to now, Wang Zhongsi has been the Shuofang Jiedu envoy, and concurrently served as the envoy of the two towns of Hexi and Hedong, wearing three kinds of general seals, the degree of his favor by the emperor can be seen, no one has ever had this kind of treatment.

The news that Wang Zhongsi concurrently served as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu reassured Zhao Ziliang, and now Wang Zhongsi has been handling official business in Liangzhou, and his main energy is also focused on fighting against the Tubo people in Hexi, and he will definitely not ask too much about the affairs of Hedong, since Wang Zhongsi is not in Hedong, the affairs of Hedong will naturally be handled by the officials of Hedong.
