Chapter 47: The Second Coming (3)
Political consciousness is often innate, and there are few people who have played politics throughout the ages, and there are few who are not shrewd, and Xu Yang does not have a great political consciousness, so he is destined not to be an official, so it is also destined that his political appearance can only be filled with a 'masses'.
But compared to Fang Xuanling, it is simply like a bright fire and a bright moon, who is Fang Xuanling, and the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
The evaluation of the old house in the "New Tang Dynasty Book" is "Xuan Ling is the country, he is diligent and strong at night, he is exhausted by the public, and he does not want to lose anything." There is no jealousy, smell the goodness of others, if you have it. Mingda is governed, and the edge is decorated with elegance, and the law is discussed and ordered, and the order is lenient. Don't look at others with your own strengths, don't ask for preparation, even if you are humble, you have to do your best. or if they are allowed to do something, they will be guilty of sin, and they will be afraid, and they will be regarded as if they were nothing."
What can be honored in the New Tang Dynasty book is that Du Ruhui can speak side by side, 'Fang Mou Du Xuan' is talking about the two of them, from the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, to the struggle for power and the throne for Li Er, and then to the prime minister who has been set in the world, such a legendary person's political sense of smell is simply not an ordinary person.
If it weren't for the rebellion between the future heir Fang and Princess Gaoyang, the Fang family could have sealed his wife and Meng Zi, and relied on the credit book of the old house for a lifetime, at that time, Fang Xuanling had many sons, and they were originally going to be killed directly, and in the end, most of them were sent to the side plugs, which is enough to show how much credit the old house has, so that the future emperor will consider his dragon merit and not let his Fang family's bloodline be cut off.
This also shows from the side how slippery the old house's politics are.
"The minister thinks what Xu Gong said is very true." As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Liangyi Hall was a little wrong, Fang Xuanling's handling of things everyone knows that he has always been approachable, so when he was the foreman of the court, everyone stood very casually, unlike Du Ruhui who had a straight face all day long, and looked the same as Wei Zheng.
Fang Xuanling would never choose to stand on the opposite side of the civil and military officials, but this time, why did he stand up for Xu Yang? The civil official group was puzzled, not only did the officials not know, but even Li Er was a little dizzy, Fang Xuanling knew best, and never did anything he was not sure of, even when the Xuanwumen incident occurred, he was not sure that he could kill Li Jiancheng and did not support himself enough to take risks, but this time, why did he protect Xu Yang, an upstart who had no foundation, so much?
Xu Yang was also a little surprised at this time, he didn't expect that the good old man in the court would stand up for himself, risking being set on fire by two-thirds of the entire hall to cover himself.
"Why does Fang Aiqing think what Xu Qing said is reasonable?" Li Er asked calmly.
"Hui Yu Xià." Fang Xuanling hugged the jade plaque in his hand, and said loudly: "Since the last time the Taiji Hall heard His Majesty mention the locust plague, he thought of the people, so he visited 27 counties around Chang'an, more than 600 villages, more than 400 miles, and visited hundreds of old people in the township. So today, the court supports Xu Gong's assertion, and there may indeed be a locust plague next year, so we have to guard against it. ”
Somehow, as soon as Fang Xuanling revealed Yan Zhitui's name, the originally chaotic court suddenly quieted down, and Xu Yang secretly discussed to himself, which is this Yan Zhitui? How come I've never heard of it? There is no such character in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"? Could it be the great Confucian? For Mao himself only knows one Li Gang? It seems that the intelligence work is too poor.
Xu Yang planned to wait for the meeting to get out of the main hall, so he took out his mobile phone to find out which master Yan Zhitui was.
Li Er touched his beard and thought for a long time before he said: "What Fang Aiqing said is reasonable, prevention is better than prevention, since there are many major droughts, the locust plague will be easy to occur, I really have to do a good job of dealing with the locust plague, Xu Aiqing, what can you do to prevent the locust plague in the ghost valley?" ”
Xu Yang picked up the jade plaque and replied: "Heaven and earth all things, mutual restraint, is the most usable method of using one thing to drop one thing, the minister intends to let the entire Guanzhong raise chickens and ducks and flocks of birds, stocking all day long, and eating locust eggs in the field, presumably it can suppress the insect plague, and when the locusts break through the ground, the chickens and ducks have a sufficient number of birds, so that they can peck all when their wings are not hard, and greatly alleviate the locust plague." "Xu Yang's trick is to use chickens and ducks to eat locusts, this is an old method in modern times, if there are more chickens and ducks to a certain number, then although it cannot eliminate locusts, it is easy to suppress.
Li Er thought about it carefully and said: "Yes, yes, this idea is very good, it does not consume manpower and material resources, but also can fatten chickens and ducks, so that the locust plague can be suppressed, it is really a good strategy." Xuan's will, the people of Guanzhong are like this, every household raises chickens and ducks according to the head, well, you Aiqing, how many do you think is good? Li Er asked from below the main hall.
Everyone looked at each other, just a few minutes ago, they were still opposing the locust plague, and now they are going to build a plan to prevent the locust plague, which can't pull down this face.
"The minister thinks that there is no need to enforce the regulations, and the more chickens and ducks the people raise, the better." Xu Yang held the jade plaque and said loudly, he knew the locust plague very well, at that time, there were many things that starved to death in the Guan, if it wasn't for the great maturity in the south, Xu Yang felt that Li Er's regime would be overthrown because of this locust plague.
"Don't I know that the more chickens, ducks, and birds, the better? However, the people's breeding capacity is limited, and if they raise too much, they will not be able to serve the farmland, which I do not want to see. Li Erduan knelt on the high platform and said compassionately.
"The minister thinks otherwise, the promotion of the Quyuan plough so that the land that originally needed ten people to cultivate now only needs three people, the people have excess labor, they need to do more things to fill their stomachs, only hard work can be rich, the minister is not talented, only ask for a reward for raising chickens and ducks, and always start from the bottom, as long as there are more than 20 chickens and ducks, the minister will reward him with consistent money, and the money will come out of the minister himself." Xu Yang's words require courage, he can say that he is the first person in ancient and modern China and foreign countries to use personal assets to encourage the social system, Li Er was also slightly stunned, and after a long time, he said to the white eyebrows next to the team: "Announce the Guannei, let's draft the purpose." ”
The Great Dynasty was dispersed, Li Er was not interested in solving the locust plague, and the civil official group was also bored, this time not only failed to humiliate Cheng Xu Yang, but instead gave him a chance to be famous through the ages, each household raising twenty chickens and ducks can receive consistent money, this is simply a great thing, the people will definitely compete to do it, even if the locust plague does not happen, Xu Yang's move will no longer dare to impeach, who has the courage to scatter thousands of family wealth to fund the country?
Xu Yang leaned next to Fang Xuanling as soon as the Great Dynasty Meeting ended, he was really curious about why this Fang Xuanling supported him in the main hall, just Yan Zhitui's words should not be believed, there must be other reasons.
Xu Yang walked to Fang Xuanling's side and asked quietly: "Fang Gong, thank you for the things in the hall today, but the kid doesn't know, why do you suddenly support the kid's idea?" ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Fang Xuanling's mouth, and he also whispered: "Fang and Yuan Tianshi are close friends. ”
