Chapter 126: I Am the Great Dusk King (8)
At the end of spring, the weather is hot, and the flowers in the palace are gradually gray and withered.
Ju Qi and Chang Tongfu sat in the gazebo and talked happily.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Well, good tea." Putting down the teacup, she couldn't help but praise softly, and turned to Lihai and instructed: "This is the new tea that is new this year?" ”
Li Hai bowed his head and replied: "The Anxi Huyue Tieguanyin paid tribute by Fujian is half a month earlier than in previous years. ”
Fujian? Ying Qi's fingers gently rubbed the ring, thoughtful, and then smiled slightly: "Send some to the eldest princess's mansion." ”
Lehi hurriedly nodded yes.
Ying Qi seemed to think of something again, and smiled faintly: "There is also General Fuyuan's Mansion, send some over." ”
"Yes."
After Mu Qi finished explaining, he looked at Chang Tongfu with a smile: "I already know what Mr. talked about. ”
Chang Tongfu re-entered the court half a month ago, and his official position was not quite the same as before Zhishi, and now he is a court prince and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Originally, Chang Tongfu Zhishi caused an uproar in the court, but now he suddenly returned to the court, which also made some old ministers regain their confidence in Emperor Zhaoning.
"At present, the land annexation is serious, there are still large areas of barren land in the northwest region, a few years before His Majesty ascended the throne, the northwest region has been deeply disturbed by the Turks, the people in order to avoid war and disputes, abandon their homes and abandon the fields, now the Beijing division of the people, there are many people who do not have fields, and the mouth of food is two-thirds." Chang Tongfu looked solemn and twisted his beard to speak.
The land system of the Great Wei Dynasty was used in the previous dynasty, and now it does not conform to the basic national conditions of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it has reached a critical point of survival.
In fact, this has a certain relationship with Sheng Yi'an's stupidity, but the most fundamental thing is the contradiction between the land and the people.
"What Mr. said is extremely true, I wonder if Mr. has a countermeasure?"
Chang Tongfu sighed and said slowly, "There is no good plan yet, but the old minister has been thinking about it for a long time." Affirming land ownership and possession rights and reducing land disputes, this is conducive to the reclamation of ownerless wasteland. ”
Ying Qi pondered for a moment before saying: "The barren land and the flow of people are the current problems, if there is a way to achieve both......" Before the words fell, she was already looking at Chang Tongfu with a smile, and both of them saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes.
Chang Tongfu laughed: "Can Your Majesty and the old minister think the same?" ”
Ying Qi bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. has already understood." ”
All afternoon, Ying Qi and Chang Tongfu discussed land reform in the pavilion, and before they knew it, it was sunset.
It seems easy to give barren land to the displaced people to cultivate, but it is not easy to do, not to mention, land annexation is a growing phenomenon in the whole country, just changing the northwest, I am afraid that it is better to stop the boiling, the law of both must not be above the utopian dream, if you want to push the whole country, there must be a suitable opportunity.
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually dyed most of the palace red, and the solemn imperial city looked particularly soft at this moment.
After sending Chang Tongfu away, Ying Qi looked at the tea cup on the table, and said slowly: "Lihai, the share of the eldest princess's mansion, you personally send it." ”
Lehi lowered his head and said yes with his chin bowed.
The holy driver slowly returned to the Changyang Palace, and Ying Qi sat on the ceremonial court, and saw from a distance that the palace people standing outside the door were all trembling, and her eyes couldn't help but overflow with a trace of sarcasm.
After getting off the ceremony, Ying Qi walked slowly towards the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Ziqing sitting on the chair with a gloomy face, and his slender fingers were tapping on the table on his side.
"Has Your Majesty ever forgotten what he promised to his ministers today?"
His eyebrows were raised, the shadows under his eyes were fully revealed, and he raised his eyes to look at Ying Qi.
Ying Qi stepped forward with a smile on his face, pretending to be confused: "I promised Ziqing, and I never dared to forget." ”
Jiang Ziqing lowered his eyes and straightened the folds on his robe, and sneered: "The minister has been waiting for His Majesty on Weiyang Lake for a whole afternoon today. ”
A trace of impatience flashed in Ying Qi's eyes, Jiang Ziqing did say that she would go boating in Weiyang Lake this afternoon, but she never agreed.
Moreover, she is the king of a country in Wei, whether she goes or not, does she still want his consent?
However, Ying Qi didn't plan to tear his face with Jiang Ziqing at this time, so he held his hand and pretended to be annoyed: "Ziqing, it's not good for me, Taifu came to look for me, I forgot for a while, don't blame me." ”
Jiang Ziqing withdrew his hand lightly: "Isn't Chang Lao already a good man?" Now that he has suddenly returned to the court, His Majesty has agreed like this? Could it be that Your Majesty's court is the backyard of his house? ”
Ying Qi's eyes lit slightly, her court was definitely not Chang Tongfu's backyard, but whether it was Jiang Ziqing and Sheng Linchuan's backyard, it was unknown.
"Taifu was in good health before, but he was not in good health, so it was just enough to recuperate."
Jiang Ziqing had already deeply felt that the Emperor Zhaoning in front of him was not as easy to control as before.
He knew that he couldn't be like before, and the gloom on his face had dissipated a little.
"Your Majesty has taken a fancy to General Fuyuan?" Jiang Ziqing's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an unkind aura all over his body.
Ying Qi didn't say a word, just stood up slowly, and when he walked to the window, he said lightly: "Why do you say this?" ”
Jiang Ziqing suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, and his thin lips pursed slightly: "The new tribute of Tieguanyin in Fujian, Your Majesty has always been the first to ......" Before he finished speaking, he himself was stunned.
Ying Qi turned his eyes to look at him, but saw Jiang Ziqing's expression was grim, and he saluted for a long time before he saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister is unwell, so he will retire first." With that, he turned and left.
His play made Ying Qi a little inexplicable.
She thought for a moment, guessing that Jiang Ziqing probably felt that she and Qin Changyin had a close relationship recently, so she was in a hurry to report Sheng Linchuan.
Thinking of this, Ying Qi couldn't help but sigh, she and Qin Changyin were really not particularly close.
The night was as cool as water, and the faint glow of the moonlight poured into the hall through the door that had not yet been closed. A breeze blew by, blowing up the rice paper on the case of the Seven Books.
Lehi walked slowly from outside the hall and stood silently aside.
Ying Qi slowly put down the pen and said lightly: "How does the eldest princess react?" ”
Li Hai turned to face Ying Qi, lowered his head and said: "The eldest princess said with a smile, thank Your Majesty for the reward, and immediately ordered the maid to put away the tea." ”
"Have you ever looked surprised?"
"No, I didn't."
Ying Qi bowed slightly: "I know, you should retreat first." ”
Sheng Linchuan's reaction was as she expected, just the right etiquette, there was no surprise at the new tea, everything was too normal, but it was the biggest abnormality.
Fujian's new tea this time is half a month earlier than in previous years, which has never happened in Shengyi An's life.
But Sheng Linchuan was not a little surprised, what does this mean?
It shows that she already knows that Fujian's new tea has already paid tribute, perhaps, the tribute has not yet entered the palace, but some of it has already entered the eldest princess's mansion.
She still underestimated Sheng Linchuan, it seems that there are more than two rivers, and it turns out that Fujian is also in her pocket.
