I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival. I didn't sleep all night, and the two chapters were released together, and I was afraid that I would drink in the afternoon, and I wouldn't be able to get out anything.

Wu Zetian pondered for a while, and finally agreed.

came to Li Zhi's dormitory, after this period of recuperation, Li Zhi recovered a little, and occasionally could deal with some affairs with Wu Zetian. This is also what Wu Zetian needs, whether her husband can handle government affairs has little impact on him, but it has a great impact on the court. I handled the government affairs single-handedly, and many ministers are still not convinced. The husband dealt with it, and the situation was completely different. [bsp; But as a wife, Wu Zetian is a qualified wife, and she is gentle and considerate to Li Zhibai. It's just that as Wu Zetian's son, except for Li Hong who enjoyed some mother's love when he was a child, the other sons did not enjoy any mother's love. After all, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to take care of everything.

Seeing his cheap father, Li Wei saluted again.

After so many days, the anger gradually dissipated, Li Zhi's tone was not too evil, and said, "Sit." ”

Li Wei bowed and sat down.

"Why did you remember to come to see me?"

"Father, the son has been thinking about his father's body, and he heard many deeds of filial piety along the way, and the son was ashamed, so after returning to Beijing, he immediately visited his father and mother."

Li Zhi snorted coldly, not quite convinced. He even said in his heart: You, I'm afraid you're here to see when I'm going to die, right? But although this son is rebellious, he is not too evil in some aspects because he cares about the influence. Things have also developed to this point, and Li Zhi is not easy to complain.

Li Wei said again: "There are some other things, the son is young, and I don't know the importance of it, so I came to ask my father and mother for ......."

"What's the matter?"

"This tour, Erchen is not only to see the lives of the people, but also for another thing, to build water conservancy, Guanzhong, especially in the Jingzhao area, water conservancy is relatively perfect, but in other areas, there are many places, water conservancy is not perfect. Not only Hebei, Hedong and Henan three provinces, but also Shannan, Henan and Jiangnan provinces. Erchen has seen some areas and consulted some people, and he has some ideas in his heart. Especially in the southeast area of the south of the Yangtze River, the water and soil are fertile, but because of the abundance, the cultivation is backward. The Eastern Jin Dynasty moved south, bringing a large number of talents, so polders gradually appeared. However, most of them are cultivated spontaneously, and many areas are still in the Tuoze area. With that alone, there is a lot of room for development. ”

The most densely populated areas of the Tang Dynasty were the area around the Yellow River Grand Canal in Hebei, Yizhou in Jiannan, Guanzhong, and Jiangnan. When he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, Li Wei just wanted to save his life and didn't pay attention to it, but later gradually paid attention to this phenomenon. This is certainly not true, as a posterity, where is the most densely populated in China, almost even children know about it. There is also a saying that when the lake is ripe, the world is full, that is, the harvest of Huzhou and Changshu can feed the people of the world. Although the statement is exaggerated, it can be seen that the grain production in the southeast region of the south of the Yangtze River can be seen.

But can it be done now?

The lake is ripe, the world is full, it is a joke, that is, the population, a large Runzhou area, including the later Nanjing and Zhenjiang areas, only three or four hundred thousand people, is very likely to be less than the rural population of a small county in these two regions in later generations.

Then I asked.

There are a number of reasons, the first coastline did not extend, including the Yancheng area, most of Shanghai, and most of Nantong, which is still below sea level in the East China Sea. The second factor is that the Huai River has flooded many times, even more serious than the disaster of the Yellow River, and this flooding has affected from the upper reaches of the Huai River to most areas of northern Jiangsu. The third is that the polders are not uniformly planned, and there are polders in areas that should not appear, but they block the waterways and waterways, and there are many low-lying places, which can appear tens of thousands of acres and hundreds of thousands of acres of large polders, but because of the low-lying terrain and the timidity, the people are timid, and they have not been well cultivated. Therefore, most of the records of Jiangnan in Tang poetry and some historical books of the Tang Dynasty are four characters, low-lying and damp. Was there anything later? The reason for this is that many places are not governed, and most of them are swamps, hot days, and humidity is caused by transpiration.

The reason is very simple, but the world has ignored it, first, the center of gravity of the Tang Dynasty shifted northward, and Jiangnan did not care, and when it came to Lingnan, it was directly not managed. If it weren't for the rise of sucrose, Lingnan would have just sent some officials to station, and a state would have handed over a few feathers, two or three taels of gold, and a few local products. Second, the world has not yet realized this problem, if there is no Eastern Jin Dynasty and South Crossing, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River will be even worse. For this alone, there is a lot of room for development. But if you want to govern, one mile, one township and one county is not enough, and even some unified plans of Zhudao and Zhuzhou, with concerted efforts, it is possible to achieve a situation in which Jiangnan is ripe and the world is full in advance.

The latter initiative alone has the potential to add millions of acres of fertile land. This is not a small few, it may be six or seven ** large, six or seven million acres of rich fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, how many people can be fed? Supplemented by other water conservancy projects, as long as the imperial court is willing to invest in leveling, it is possible that the pressure on the national land will be immediately alleviated.

This means that for now, the population will increase in the future, and the pressure on the fields will continue.

But it can alleviate the crisis caused by the fields for decades.

Some Li Wei didn't dare to say it, but the general reasons were explained one by one.

This is not a system of obfuscation, and the benefits of offending are not great, but if you do not seek the consent of your parents, you will only be hindered in the back, which will also not be completed, and may cause disputes.

After Li Zhi heard this, he was silent for a long time and said: "Hong'er, your heart is good, but if you move, what kind of pressure will the people have?" ”

"Father, the son and the son know, and they don't expect the local business to be managed, all the funds can be referred to the two canals, and the imperial court will take it out, and then send some capable officials to supervise the work, so that some strong local households will not dare to block it excessively, and the court will also have the right to control the land obtained. And Erchen has been thinking about a question, I am a court, the Yourong clan and the powerful, this is a Zhao award. However there was a serious consequence of the annexation, severe. This phenomenon is not serious in the hands of my grandfather, and in the hands of my father, it has been a year of power, and it has only been a few decades. Therefore? Most of these lands are still managed by landless and landless people, which can also alleviate the pressure of inequality between the rich and the poor. Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters also want to say a word, Taizong said, the people can overturn, this people not only refers to the scholars and nobles, but also refers to all the common people. Chen Sheng and Zhang Jiao's generation, are they scholars and nobles? ”

Li Zhi frowned, and said, "You have a good intention, but how much silk is still in the treasury, do you know it?" “

"There is no urgency in this matter, if you want to build it, you must make a unified plan across the country, and measure the polders of various rivers and canals, which cannot be completed in a few years."

The survey was a huge undertaking that had to measure the length, depth and width of the canal, as well as the flow and climate of the waterway, as well as the impact on the waterway and other waterways. It is better to build the Yangtze River embankment and the Yellow River embankment, but it is not worth it, and it also needs a reasonable length, width and height, as well as the impact on the waterway. Not only that, how much it will cost, how much labor will be needed, the sequence of the project and the disputes with some of the large families involved must be taken into account.

It is possible that the cost may be more than two canals, so Li Zhi heard that there are many benefits. But in my heart, I think Li Wei's ideas are a little broad.

Li Wei continued: "As for the matter of Qian Bao, Erchen will solve it. ”

"How do you fix it?"

"By then, the two canals will be over and will be able to draw out a part of the money. This is one of them, and the second is that there is another way for the ministers to bring a large sum of money to the country, and it has been implemented. ”

Li Zhi was silent.

He stayed in Shangyang Palace because he couldn't deal with government affairs because of his illness, but he always had to ask about big things Li Zhi still had in his heart, including the matter of the envoy of the Japanese State, and Wu Zetian knew that it was a curve to save the country, but he never asked, and he was watching how his son staged this scene.

This amount refers to this approximately.

Li Wei said: "In addition, there is the Zheng family and his party, and the ministers will talk about it later, which can also increase some income for the country." ”

Li Wei stayed in Rongyang Zheng's house for several days, and Li Zhi was also paying attention, but he was very well-educated, and his son didn't say anything, and he didn't rush to ask.

Li Wei continued: "My father's body is getting better and better, and my son is very relieved. ”

Li Zhi snorted again.

"Erchen is young, I'm afraid it's very difficult to do such a big thing. Therefore, when Liu Qing, Li Qing, and Wei Qing come back from the inspection, they want to hand it over to their father and mother......"

This is not handed over to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian to deal with, it is to increase their merits. Cheap Lao Tzu has not been around for long, and this is another merit for Cheap Lao Tzu in the history books. Not only that, but this time I came back, first of all, it was a matter of Huaizhou, it was a coincidence, and Wu Chengsi did too much. However, his mother came to a chaotic mandarin duck score, which made Li Wei very embarrassed. So there was the matter of Dongbi Mountain.

There will be no more than three or two people who can come up with the truth, I'm afraid that even Li Zhi has not come to his senses, but his mother must be suspicious. There are many intentions in doing this, and if Hu comes, Mother, you will, and so will I. It's best for everyone to follow the rules and fight on the same score.

The basis for this negotiation has been increased again. Li Wei said well at the gate of the city and didn't care, but except for these few wise people, that one didn't believe it. As long as you believe it, the spearhead will inevitably be aimed at Wu Chenghei again. Mother can come nonsense, and she can also come nonsense.

It's been negotiated, it's been discussed, and nothing is left. But there are still some negative effects on the mother, the mother is unhappy, can Li Wei not be afraid of this mother? Therefore, take the initiative to give up the credit, after all, there is not much interest dispute involved, as long as the funds keep up, it is a great achievement.

Li Zhi's eyes flickered, and he didn't quite understand.

Wu Zetian was very suspicious.

Patting his mother's little white hand, Li Wei said: "Queen Mother, Erchen said in Qinghai that no matter what this court looks like, as long as the mother is still alive, there must be the right of the mother to pass through the door, this is the power of wisdom, in the world, there are several wisdom that can compare with the father and the queen mother." "The Biography of Zhou Yi" said that brothers work together, and their profits are gold. There is also a saying on the battlefield, brothers go into battle, and father and son soldiers fight. The people are cloudy, and the family is prosperous. The sons are not too stupid, and then the father and queen mother are wise and wise, what else in the world can not do well? ”

Let's go quiet.

If you continue to fight, even a small martial arts move has not been solved until now because of the vague name system.

Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I'm right." ”

How can it not be?

Li Wei said the second thing, before this matter is said first, it is necessary to tell the story of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Most of it was said, and a few places were skipped. Hearing that the Zheng family intended to marry a daughter, Li Zhi was a little surprised. This son has some ability, so the five surnames and seven families are not evil to him. But after all, she is a daughter of five surnames and seven families, and if she marries into the East Palace, she also needs status. At the beginning, the Cui family and the Pei family competed to marry the East Palace for the sake of the crown princess. After the crown princess came out, the Cui family saw that the crown princess was hopeless, and did not mention it again. Although there is still Liangdi, people don't want it anymore.

Now that the son not only has the crown princess, but also the two Liangdi, what is the daughter of the Zheng family doing in the East Palace?

can't say that, the Zheng family doesn't know that the Pei family girl is weak in appearance and weak in intelligence, only one point, can stabilize things, has a large belly, virtuous character, and is not very competitive, and the two Liangdi are there, but the emperor has been upgraded, and the East Palace will be upgraded sooner or later. There are two Liangdi, but after being upgraded, there are four ladies, and at least the four concubines can occupy one. Once upgraded, the emperor fills the quota of the four concubines, and the daughter of the Zheng family remarries, is it not too late for Jiujing to enter the East Palace now. Maybe she can compete for the real queen in the future.

Li Wei continued.

After about saying it again. Li Zhi was surprised again.

The Zheng family expressed a lot of goodwill during this trip, and the conditions paid by Li Wei were not high. Once the quota is released again, it can also bring more money to the imperial court. A large amount of customs and taxation is another long-term money-making plan. The more people who sailed, the heavier the tariffs would be. And I also saw a lot of money, and the conditions were a little more lenient, which didn't matter.

The only bad thing is to let this son go against him.

can win the cooperation of five surnames and seven families, that is, it is a reversal, what does it matter?

As for what Li Wei said about bringing a group of Zheng Jiazi to Guozijian and letting a group of Zheng Jiazi participate in the imperial examination, Li Zhi didn't think about it at all. This may not be a condition, and the court is also courting, but people are arrogantly ignoring it.

But not surprising.

When they heard that Li Wei was in charge and asked the Zheng family to marry Liang Jinzhu, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian said at the same time: "Hong'er, you are messing around!" ”

"No, the Zheng family seems to have agreed."

"Ahem, ahem!" Li Zhi choked. (To be continued)
