Chapter 131: Mountains and Flowing Water

As soon as Yang Yi got out of the car in front of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Yao went out to greet him, he looked left and right first, and then saluted with disappointment: "Uncle Yang, I expect you to come to the house today, and my little nephew has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Huh? What are you waiting for me? I'm not interested in playing with you kid in the mud, say! What are you doing at home? Did I speak ill of me behind my back? As soon as Yang Yi saw this kid's reluctant smile, he knew that something was wrong with him, and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder first.

Yang Yi asked one question after another, making Zhang Yao a little dizzy, he rolled his eyes and said, "Who said bad things about you?" I'm not that kind of person. ”

"It's hard to say, you Ah Weng is on the list of traitors, but you are among the top three characters, and it is not common to say bad things about people!"

"You...... Uncle Yang, you've gone too far! ”

Seeing that Zhang Yao had a tendency to turn his face, Yang Yi laughed and said, "Look at your little appearance!" With this kind of mind, don't tell me that you are the grandson of Old Man Zhang, me! is still young, and the ranking on the list is almost surpassing you Ah Weng, I'm not in a hurry, what the hell are you anxious about? ”

"I ......."

"Nothing more! Send you a famous saying, go your own way, and let others say it! Do you understand? ”

Zhang Yao's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally said dejectedly: "The little nephew knows that he is wrong, thank you Uncle Yang for his teaching." ”

"The children can be taught! Whether you are a traitor or a loyal minister, as long as what you do is beneficial to the country, why care what others think of you? In this world, as long as you do something, someone will scold you, just your mind, don't want to do anything! ”

"Uncle Yang, will you listen to your teachings next time? It's almost to the Frontroom! ”

"What's the matter? I think it's too much, right? I still ......"

"Ouch! Uncle Yang, just let go of the little nephew, this matter is known to me Ah Weng, he has to peel my skin, Uncle Yang, you can pity me! ”

"Hahaha! It's not difficult to let you go, be honest, just now you are looking around in front of the door, what do you want? ”

Zhang Yao, who was tossed a lot, remembered his original intention, and hurriedly laughed: "Uncle Yang, I heard that the Lord of Liao gave you a BMW, which is the legendary dark clouds and snow, little nephew, I want to open my eyes, but it's a pity!" It's a pity! Uncle Yang, you didn't ride, so I waited in front of the door for a long time. ”

Dare to love is what it is! Yang Yi patted him on the shoulder again and said, "That's a peerless BMW!" It's not hard for you kid to see it, but you have to call ......"

"What's it called?"

"Uncle!"

"Don't you think about it!"

Today's snow is sunny at the beginning of the day, the spring is warm, Zhang Dian did not choose to see Yang Yi in the study, but put a small stove in the pavilion by the pool, boil the green plum wine, put fur on the stone bench, there are yellow orioles on the water to call the spring early, there is snow falling on the high branches like poplar flowers, here to taste wine and enjoy the snow is also pleasant.

When Yang Yi entered the pavilion, the aroma of wine in the pot was beginning to overflow, exuding an intoxicating taste. Zhang Dian stroked the piano in the pavilion, and the faint sound of the piano was quiet and distant, like the white clouds in the sky, unhindered.

Yang Yi found a place to sit down, calmly drank himself, listened with his eyes closed for a while, and suddenly sighed: "The sound of this piano is really like a majestic mountain!" Not! It's changed, and it's like a murmuring water......"

The pretty girl next to her couldn't help but snort, pursed her lips and smiled: "Bachelor Yang, my family's husband is not playing "Mountains and Flowing Water", it's ......"

"It doesn't matter what it is, anyway, I think your family is like a mountain, and you are like a bay of water! One is rigid and one is soft, green water and green mountains, because of the snow white head ......"

"Ahem!"

Zhang Dian finally couldn't play it anymore, and if he let Yang Yi continue to talk nonsense like this, he would fabricate a twilight love for him.

"Stand down, all of you!"

Zhang Dian commanded softly, and a few maids were shy and timid, and retreated, and Zhang Dian continued: "When I let Ren Zhi envoy to the Liao State, it was considered to have chosen the right person, just your mouth, it is difficult for the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State to lose or lose if they want to lose or lose." ”

"Old man Zhang, don't talk about these useless things, although you have to be calm, but it's not your kind of calm method, let me ask you, I went through a lot of hardships before I contacted the chief of the Hindrance Department, and as soon as I entered Yanmen Pass, I will send you an eight-hundred-mile expedited, how many days has it been? In the end, you don't support the Divination Department, you haven't even come up with a charter, you really disappointed me this time! ”

Zhang Dian couldn't care, took the wine jug and poured himself a glass, and then said with a smile: "Let it be a little restless, there are pros and cons to this matter, Su Xiang and Li Shangshu have concerns, Your Majesty is also hesitant for a while, and the old man is not good to push too hard." ”

Yang Yi tapped the table lightly with his right finger and said, "We can completely eliminate the disadvantages and save the benefits!" As long as there is a simple reason to shirk, the Liao State can't help my Great Song, unless he gives up Western Xia first, otherwise he is not qualified to blame me for the Great Song, why am I in a hurry to do this, Zhang Xianggong have you thought about it?

Now that the grass is in the freezing season, the herdsmen have gathered in one place to avoid the cold, which can avoid people's eyes and ears to the greatest extent, and it is the best time for us to trade with the Divination Department; Once the ice and snow melt in spring, the herdsmen will scatter to the grassland, and then the Hinder Department will drive a large number of war horses, and it will be difficult to completely avoid people's eyes and ears; Another point is that the Obstruction Department has just captured the North Road and the West Road of Liao, and there are nearly 100,000 good war horses in their hands, if they are defeated, these war horses will return to the hands of the Liao army; Now such a huge herd of horses is in the hands of the Divination Department, it is a burden for them, at this time to trade, we can get this batch of war horses at the cheapest price, war horses! Zhang Xianggong, cavalry is the king! ”

"Does Ren Zhi know anything about the Qiang tribe in Hengshan?"

When Yang Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, this girl clearly thought of going with herself, and it was hard to find a bosom friend!

Let the Qiang people be the middlemen, this can't hide from the Liao State, but it doesn't matter, all the Great Song needs is a simple excuse.

Just as the Liao State has always supported the Western Xia, he said that the Western Xia is a sovereign state, and the Liao State and the Western Xia have a good relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no reason for the Great Song State to interfere, and vice versa, the Great Song Dynasty only traded with the Hengshan Qiang people, and the Liao State has no reason to interfere.

This is the rule of the game between countries, everyone knows the real deeds of the other party, but on the surface there is only a reasonable excuse, as long as the rules of the game are not violated.

Of course, if it was the former Liao State, it could also forcibly start a war against the Great Song Dynasty, but now, the Great Song Dynasty is not afraid of it!

If there is really going to be a war, the army of the Liao State has only arrived in Nanjing Road, and the various tribes in the country are afraid that they will occupy the capital first, and the Liao State will dare to start a full-scale war with the Great Song Dynasty?

"Zhang Xianggong has already made arrangements?"

"Soon, Your Majesty has already nodded on this matter, can you rest assured now?"

"Peace of mind can't be talked about, Zhang Xianggong should know that this is not a trivial matter, it can affect the future pattern of the Song, Liao, Xia, and the Three Kingdoms, to be honest, this matter is not easy to grasp! It is impossible to predict what kind of ripple effect will be caused. ”

"Hahaha! It's rare to show back his timidity, and the old man can be regarded as a feast for the eyes. ”

Yang Yi did not defend himself, but said: "Don't hide it, when I passed through Xijing, I had a long conversation with Fan Chunren, both internally and externally, he put forward a lot of pertinent suggestions, from his attitude, he has no intention of opposing innovation, but just has a negative attitude towards our rapid approach; Fan Chunren mentioned that one of the points is that if the government is not purged, no matter how good the policy is promulgated, it will inevitably be out of shape when it is implemented; This time, I went to Liaoguo to understand the land measurement situation in Gyeonggi, Hebei, and Hedong, and there were indeed many problems.

As far as I know, it is not uncommon for the officials in charge of measuring land to be bribed by the local gentry, to the point of making false reports, underreporting, concealing and not reporting, and treating the land as wasteland.

In some places where there was little land and many people, the gentry even forcibly reported the land to the tenant farmers, who were responsible for paying the taxes, otherwise the tenant farmers had no land to cultivate and had to flee.

These phenomena are all caused by the lack of clarity in the management of officials, and we must now try our best to remedy them, otherwise there is a great possibility that something will go wrong. ”

After hearing this, a pair of thick eyebrows were tightly locked, the implementation of the new law will definitely encounter many problems, which everyone was prepared for at the beginning, but from the current situation after the actual implementation, the difficulty is still beyond the original expectation.

"How can I remedy it?"

Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "It is impossible to completely purge the officials at once, but it is completely possible to carry out a major purge of the Taiwan officials, and then send most of the Taiwan officials to the local area, and repeatedly and alternately inspect the land clearance, and deal with the problems as soon as they are found, and severely punish the collusion of those officials and gentry; In addition, it is necessary to organize several experienced teams, led by trustworthy officials to patrol all over the country, randomly check the fields that have been cleared, re-measure, and once false reports and false reports are discovered, the officials who were previously in charge of clearing will be severely punished, so as to deter those who have the intention of cheating.

Now that only three or four percent of the land has been cleared in various places, everything is still in time, what does Zhang Xianggong think? ”

"The old man thinks that he can also let the officials who are currently in charge of clearing the land expose each other about the illegal acts, and once it is verified, the whistleblower will be rewarded heavily."

"Yes, but it must be investigated by the Taiwan officials when the Taiwan officials have been purged, otherwise some people can fabricate facts in order to reward them heavily, resulting in a large number of unjust and wrongful cases."

Zhang Dian raised his eyebrows lightly, and didn't say anything more, he didn't let the local officials expose each other before, just for fear that this kind of unjust case would occur, and now that he proposed, he naturally thought of this, and he still admired Yang Yi's ability to grasp the overall situation.

"The matter of Tongwenguan is the most urgent problem we need to solve, and I don't ask a word until now, the old man is really a little strange! With such no distinction between priorities and priorities, this is not like being a human being! ”

Yang Yi took the time to invite Zhang Duan to have a drink, and then replied: "It's not that I didn't ask, but I have already asked, to be honest, I don't have a better way to deal with this matter, you have done what you can do now, in my opinion, it will take at least a few days, and when Jiao Shou and Liu Guifei have delivered enough words, the time will be ripe, and then it will be up to Zhang Xianggong to launch the final blow." ”

"Don't hide it, how sure is this final blow, the old man can't be sure!"

Zhang Dian let out a rare long sigh, which suddenly made the atmosphere become solemn, if it wasn't really unsure, with Zhang Ton's person, he would never look up to the sky and sigh so much, if he wasn't even sure about Zhang, who was sure?

Yang Yi's heart suddenly lifted.
