Before Zhang Heng left for Chang'an from Jiankang, Yang Guang repeatedly told him that this action was of great importance, and that he must persuade the imperial court to support the implementation of the new policy in Jiangnan, so after he returned to Chang'an, he did not dare to delay in the slightest, and even went to Daxing Palace to see the emperor without even returning to Chang'an's home.

Yang Jian's focus in recent days is not in Jiangnan, but outside the Saiwai. Although the rebellion launched by Wang Zhongxuan, the remnant of the Southern Chen, once affected eastern Zhejiang, as the Lingnan barbarian tribes led by Mrs. Xi were attached to the imperial court and cooperated with the official army to quickly turn from defense to attack, the defeat of the rebels was certain, and at the same time, in the north, although Yang Su defeated the Western Turkic Datou Khan, but as the vitality of the Eastern Turks gradually recovered, Dulan Khan intended to get rid of his attachment to the Great Sui, and the signs of restoring the hegemony of the Turkic steppe became increasingly obvious.

Due to the forced situation, Gao Ying was still difficult to withdraw from Bingzhou for a while, and Yang Jian urgently needed a minister with actual experience in commanding the army to help him counsel the military aircraft, and Yang Su commanded the army with a new victory, so he was naturally entrusted with an important task by Yang Jian, and was appointed as the right servant of Shangshu, and during Gao Ying's absence, he actually became the prime minister of the court.

After learning the news that Zhang Heng was ordered by Yang Guang to return to the court to report the chapter, Yang Jian did not order anyone to pass on the arrival of the crown prince Yang Yong, but only met with Zhang Heng with Yang Addict, who was discussing court affairs in the Linde Palace.

After Yang Jian took the piece presented by Zhang Heng, he looked at it carefully, locked his eyebrows, did not say anything, handed the piece to Yang Su, and then asked Zhang Heng: "Is the current situation in Jiangnan stable?" Has the murderer of Zixiang been arrested and brought to justice? ”

Zhang Heng bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the King of Jin has ordered Wei Huang to lead an army of 100,000 and tens of thousands of barbarians to besiege the remnants of Wang Zhongxuan's rebel army in the city of Panyu in Lingnan. Regarding the case of assassinating the king's servants, the king of Jin is in the process of ordering people to investigate in detail. ”

"Well, the prime minister of the imperial court, he was assassinated in the public office, this case must not be taken lightly, the murderer must be arrested, escorted to Chang'an, and sentenced to the right time." Yang Jian said, turning his gaze to Yang Su, wanting to hear his opinion on Yang Guang's recital first.

Yang Su understood, stepped forward and handed the chapter back to Yang Jian, clasped his fists and said: "The minister noticed that the king of Jin wanted to ask the court to award a reward and offer a reward for catching the culprit, and the minister had no objection to this. However, regarding the matter of the Jin Dynasty's request to implement the Juntian system in Jiangnan, there are still two or three unresolved matters in his heart, can he allow his ministers to ask Zhang Changshi one or two? ”

"Exactly."

Yang Su got Yang Jian's permission, turned around and politely asked Zhang Heng: "May I ask Zhang Changshi, how much is the total number of fields that can be granted in the whole territory of Jiangnan at present, and how many people can receive fields?" Among them, what is the original land of the Lord and the newly opened barren land? ”

Zhang Heng had already prepared for this, took out a detailed book of people and fields from his bosom and presented it to Yang Su, and replied: "Yang Servant, please see, this is a new summary of the people and fields in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, which lists in detail the number of various fields and the number of men and women. ”

Yang Su turned around and glanced at Yang Jian, seeing that he had nothing to say, Fang took the book from Zhang Heng's hand, and after reading it carefully, he frowned and asked Zhang Heng: "I look at the fields listed in this book, most of them are the fields of the lord in the Southern Chen period, let me ask, if according to the Jin king's play, all these owner's fields will be granted to people, and there is no measure to compensate the original land owner, will this act attract the opposition of the original land owner and bring greater hidden dangers to the situation in Jiangnan?" ”

"Your Majesty, Yang Servant shoots Rongyu. In the ninth year of the emperor's opening, the emperor raised troops to attack Chen, ended the situation of division between the north and the south in one fell swoop, and realized the unification of China. Zhang Heng Zhengse replied, "Second, after the reports of the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, most of the fields in the south of the Yangtze River are abandoned land in the hundreds of acres, the ownership of the fields is unknown, and the people have no intention of farming, which is actually the source of turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River so far, and it is urgent for the imperial court to implement a new policy on the fields and change it, and the king of Jin knows that the emperor has the desire to restore the ancient uniform field system, and he understands the world and public opinion in the south of the Yangtze River, and wants to promote the uniform field system in all parts of the southern part of the Yangtze River, which is also to achieve the emperor's wish; Third, Yang Fuchu said that if the implementation of the uniform land system, it should be compensated to the original landlords, and the lower officials were entrusted by the King of Jin to do some verification of the number of people and acres of land owned by the big families in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and it was found that once the uniform land system was implemented, these big families (the original landlords) because of the large number of people in their clan, the total number of acres of land still far more than others, etc., but compared with before, it greatly restricted their hiring of tenants to cultivate for them, and encouraged them to cultivate on their own and support themselves, not only will it not cause greater hidden dangers. On the contrary, it is more conducive to the long-term peace and stability of Jiangnan. ”

"Well, the shore of the land is not the king's land. What Jianping said is very true. Now that Jiangnan has been naturalized, the people of Jiangnan are all my people, and I should grant them land for their livelihood and livelihood. Without waiting for Yang Su to open his mouth to refute, Yang Jian listened to Zhang Heng's words, and nodded frequently and approvingly.

Yang Su listened to the emperor's opening to Yang Guangzuo's request to implement Juntian in Jiangnan, although he still had doubts in his heart, it was inconvenient to say anything more about it, so he changed his tone and asked Zhang Heng: "In the Jin Dynasty, the emperor is asked to approve the restoration of Jiangnan for three years, and after three years, half of the rent in Jiangnan must still be levied. ”

When Yang Su put down the Jiangnan rebellion in the previous time, Zhang Heng had seen with his own eyes the situation of his deliberate slap with Yang Guang, but he didn't expect that now his identity is different from the past, and his position has changed so much. At present, it seems that the imperial court needs to spend more money to stabilize Jiangnan, but in fact, when the situation in Jiangnan is restored to stability and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is bound to contribute more rents to the imperial court. ”

As soon as Yang Su reminded him that Yang Guang's remedy implied that the imperial court would take out a huge gift package of real money and silver for the stability of Jiangnan, Yang Jian's attitude began to become hesitant: although he felt that what Zhang Heng said was not unreasonable, but considering that the situation in the north tended to be unstable, and the Kwantung, Central Plains and other places had contributed a lot to the imperial court's military attack in the past few years, the imperial court was trying to collect more rents from Jiangnan, the newly classified granary, in order to meet the needs of the time. It will undoubtedly bring greater difficulties to the income and expenditure of the imperial court.

"Dealing with the road, on how to reduce or reduce the rent in Jiangnan, let the ministry make a decision after the discussion." Yang Jian ignored Zhang Heng and instructed Yang Su.
