Who made you the one who cut off Li Shimin's back road? Even if Li Shimin says that the sky is broken, you don't dare to have any more dissenting intentions.

When Ma Zhou saw Xu Jingzong like this, he was a little gloating. Songzhou is a good place, the mountains and rivers are much stronger than Chang'an, even if Ma Zhou has never been there, he is not happy for Xu Jingzong.

"What are you happy about?" Li Chengzong saw Ma Zhou's smiling face, and asked instead.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a happy event to report." Ma Zhou is not a vegetarian either, and when he saw Li Chengzong's question, he immediately replied.

Li Chengzong asked again: "Happy event? Since I became emperor and ascended the throne, you have rarely reported any happy events. Tell me what is the joy of your joy that deserves to be almost out loud. ”

Ma Zhou didn't sit still, stood up directly, and said: "Your Majesty, since the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the rebel armies in various places have attacked each other, and the people in the world have been killed and injured by millions. It is also because of this that some people did not hesitate to leave their homeland and move into the remote mountains in order to avoid the war. In recent months, the minister has liquidated the number of people who have been reported to have re-ascended the throne in various places, totaling 128,000 households. ”

"Is this a happy event? Is it a happy event to have 128,000 more households? Li Chengzong asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, even if there are three people in each household, one hundred and eighty-eight thousand households is also a population of more than three hundred thousand. Isn't it a great event? Ma Zhou was confused. Speaking of which, the reason why everyone does not agree to conscription is not because the population has dropped sharply since the end of the Sui Dynasty, and too many people have been killed and injured, resulting in a much lower labor force than before. This is more than 300,000 people, which is not a happy event, so what is a happy event?

Li Chengzong replied: "You said it was a happy event. That's a happy event! I also gave you an order, and you should leave Chang'an for the time being. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to do with the ministers?" Ma Zhou was puzzled. I don't know what to do and leave Chang'an.

"Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the household registration in the world has been in name only, and there are still many ominous and untruthful things today. I looked at the most recent household registration survey, and it was far away when Wude was five years old. You go, go all over the ten roads to be responsible for this household registration survey, and it is best not to miss a single person or household. Li Chengzong's words really shocked Ma Zhou.

"It's ??? Your Majesty can pass on the will, right? Ma Zhou said carefully.

"You're also too much. It is easy to go down the will. But those officials were far away, thinking that I did not know what they were doing, and which one of them was willing to do his best for it. I'll send you anyway. Let me rest assured. This is a major event in the community, and there will be many rewards for doing a good job. Li Chengzong said.

"The Lord's Order is grateful." Ma Monday's stomach is bitter! I don't know how much more bitter I am than Xu Jingzong.

All right! Are Xu Jingzong and Ma Zhou unlucky, or His Majesty has already had the intention to let them out, and one or two are unlucky! It's not a big deal. It's not a trivial matter.

Du Ruhui got up and said, "Your Majesty." I am willing to go to this matter, and I ask Your Majesty's permission. ”

Ma Zhou lowered his head and didn't speak, and scolded Du Ruhui in his heart for speaking slowly. You said you didn't say it earlier, did you say it earlier? I've received my will, and you just opened your mouth, how infuriating!

"You're going? You wait, let me think about where to send you. Li Chengzong remembered something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty." But what about Lingnan? ”

Li Chengzong slapped the table and said, "Exactly! ”

Oh no! Du Ruyan secretly hated himself for coming out early. went out instead of Ma Zhou, even though he left Chang'an temporarily, he sought stability. Moreover, this is a matter related to the population registration of the world, and it is indeed a matter of merit. When I come back in the future, I can also get a knighthood with this feat. I didn't expect it! Unexpectedly, Li Chengzong still has such a hand, Feng Ang of Lingnan, you have made me miserable.

"Geng Guogong Feng Ang's matter, does Your Majesty plan to send Du Ruhui to go?" Fang Xuanling stood up and wanted to dissuade Li Chengzong. What kind of place is this Lingnan, the so-called land of poor mountains and bad waters. said that it was in the Tang Dynasty, but Feng Ang was the real family, if this Feng Ang was framed, it would be fine, if he was not framed and really wanted to rebel, then it would be worth it! Du Ruhui is gone, I am afraid that he will not come back.

Li Chengzong said: "What, do you think I'm overkill?" ”

"There are a lot of people who can go to Lingnan, and what Du Ruhui can do is not something that ordinary people can do." Fang Xuanling said at the risk of being struck by lightning.

"Then tell me, who else is enough to go to Lingnan and find out Feng Ang's reality." Li Chengzong asked.

Fang Xuanling thought to herself, this is terrible! In fact, it is okay to send whoever goes, and the one who has a little reputation in the court goes, as long as Feng Ang does not feel that the court looks down on him. If you send a sesame petty officer, you will have nothing to do. But among the few famous people, which one wants to go to Lingnan? This mouth speaks, no matter whose name it says, it is to offend people to death.

"What's wrong, can't you figure it out?" Li Chengzong urged.

"No, the minister thinks Cui Dunli is suitable for this matter." Fang Xuanling replied after holding back for a long time.

Li Chengzong thought for a moment and said, "I remember this person, my aunt Li Xiuning once recommended this person to me. I don't know where I am now, or what position I am in. ”

"This person is one of the three major superintendents of the Tang Dynasty, and has always been responsible for the manufacture of army armor and weapons." Fang Xuanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied.

"I think about it, Wang Junkuo, Wang Xu, and Cui Dunli were all recommended by King Lujiang." Li Chengzong said.

"Your Majesty, Cui Dunli was recommended by Princess Pingyang." Fang Xuanling reminded.

Li Chengzong said upsetly: "Do you have to correct this painless mistake?" ”

"The subordinate is guilty." Fang Xuanling knelt down and said.

"For the sake of you, I recommended Cui Dunli, so it's good to spare you once." Li Chengzong said with a smile.

Du Ruhui was covered in a cold sweat, and when he sat down, he only felt that his back was soaked. He didn't want to go to Lingnan, he was really afraid of that place.

Fang Xuanling was also afraid, not afraid of anything else. This Cui Dunli is a person from Shandong all the way, and he is a member of the Cui family! This Cui family is not a family to mess with, in case of trouble, we can do it. He is gambling, it depends on whether the emperor can give it or not, and whether he is willing to carry this black pot for him.

Wei Zheng said: "Cui Dunli went to Lingnan, and one of the three major governors is missing, who does Your Majesty want to replace him?" ”

What is the position of Superintendent? Why does King Lujiang have to recommend his own people to go up, it is not because this is a fat difference. The equipment of the 400,000-strong army has been worked on and off for more than a year and has not been completely completed. And this thing will break, and if it won't break, it will rust, as long as the hammer moves, it will ask for money. The biggest quartermaster in Datang at present is these three people.

"Aunt Pingyang has been fine lately, so let her take over for the time being!" Li Chengzong commanded. (To be continued......)
