Chapter 119: Village Clans
Li Yunqing shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I have lived in Qianchang Palace since I was a child, and it can be said that it is the most luxurious residence in the world. The world says that the palace is my home, but that home is too big, and the big one doesn't look like a home. Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment, and then rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we enter Chongyang City first, and find a village along the way to celebrate the New Year." ”
Zhao Bingyu was about to open her mouth to stop her when she heard this, she was not pampered, but she had the same mind as Xie Youyou, and felt that it was really inappropriate for Li Yunqing to live in a village for the New Year. Zhao Bingyan stopped his sister and smiled: "Okay, since my husband thinks it's so interesting, then that's it, find a village, and it would be better if he could rent a room." Zhao Bingyan is like this, she knows that Li Yunqing is more casual except for governing the country, so she follows him in everything on weekdays, because she knows that being the emperor is the hardest errand in the world.
After saying that, the sisters said that they wanted to come back from hunting some game, and when they walked far, Zhao Bingyu glanced at her sister and said, "Sister, you always spoil your husband like this." What kind of identity is he, how precious is his body? How can you let him mess around? ”
Zhao Bingyan smiled bitterly: "When I gave my heart to him, I was ready to spoil him for the rest of my life, and at that time I knew that he was a casual person, and I felt happy to do it." Zhao Bingyan shook his head again as he spoke, and said to Zhao Bingyu: "This kind of temperament is really not good material for being an emperor, but the destiny of heaven is him." He just pushed the world to a prosperous situation, do you know how much he was wronged? ”
Seeing that Zhao Bingyu was deep in thought, Zhao Bingyan then said leisurely: "Our husband is very forbearing, for the sake of this great country, he has been sitting on the dragon chair for six or seven years. Think about it, he originally had the temperament of being happy and watery, can he endure it like this? So I don't feel enough to spoil me, and I'm happy no matter how much I spoil me. ”
Zhao Bingyu glanced at Zhao Bingyan deeply, sighed and said, "Sister, it seems that you have always been the woman who loves him the most." There are more than a dozen women around him, including me, who love him to the core, but they don't know how to love him. It's just you, you not only love him, but more importantly, you know how to spoil him. ”
"Can't everyone spoil him, if that's the case, he won't be happy? Besides, the days to come are still long, and as the days go by, you will always know more about his character, and you don't need to blame yourself. As he spoke, Zhao Bingyan snapped out his fingers, only to see a pheasant jumping out of the bushes not far away, and then falling down. Seeing this, the two girls smiled slightly, walked over to catch the pheasant, and continued to walk forward. There are many of them, and one pheasant is naturally not enough to eat, and Kitahara An is still growing his body.
Although it is said that the state capital and county capital are in Daqian, there are many cities. However, there are still many villages, which are not located in the city, but are mostly scattered along the sides of the official road. Most of these villages are clans, which means that a village is a clan. In fact, many of these clans are remnants of the previous dynasty. They have their own rules, and although they are also the people of Daqian, they don't like to live in the city, perhaps because they are more comfortable living in the village, which is their choice.
Li Yunqing found a village thirty miles away from Chongzhou Mansion. The people in this village are all surnamed Tan, and it is for Tanjia Village. Tanjia Village is a village with 500 households and 1,500 people. Such a village is naturally not the largest, nor can it be considered a small village. The patriarch of the village is also a good talker, Li Yunqing explained his intention, and the patriarch rented him a courtyard for a month, because the New Year of Daqian is a month. The cost is only ten taels of silver. The courtyard is a courtyard house, very spacious, ten taels of silver is already very cheap in Li Yunqing's opinion, but the patriarch is very satisfied with this price.
The courtyard where they lived is said to be a declining family in the village, and after the incense was cut off, it became a borderless land. But the village chief still ordered people to come and clean it often, as a small rental place, it was actually prepared for people like Li Yunqing. The only difference is that in the past, they were rented separately, this one yard was rented to several families, and this time it was rented to one person.
The patriarch could naturally see Li Yunqing's nobility, and specially invited Li Yunqing to his home to chat. Li Yunqing naturally will not refuse, and when he goes out, he naturally can't just look at the landscape, and the contact between people is also very interesting. The old man asked Li Yunqing's identity, and Li Yunqing said that his name was Ye Wuming, his family lived in the imperial capital, and he was doing business.
After a cup of tea, Li Yunqing spoke again: "In Xia, the Tan clan is all wealthy, but why do they choose to live outside the city when they live in Chongyang City, which is less than fifty miles away?" The reason why he asked this question is because all the families of the Tan family live in a courtyard house, and the only difference is that there is a difference in the size of the courtyard, but even if it is a small courtyard, it needs some family foundation to build, and with such financial resources, it is really possible to live a better life.
Hearing this, the patriarch stroked his beard and said, "Gongzi doesn't know, this is the ancestral land of the ancestors of my Tan clan. At that time, when Chongyang City was built, our ancestral land was divided outside the city, so there was Tanjia Village. In Daqian, many clan villages were formed in this way. After all, all the plans of the imperial court are for the benefit of the country and the people, and our village can be built next to the official road, which is already the grace of Taizu. Regarding this matter, Li Yunqing has seen it in the twists and turns of the imperial pen of the Kaihuang Dynasty.
Li Yunqing naturally understood Emperor Taizu's thoughts, and he hoped that these clan villages would eventually become towns, and a new city would appear in a few years. Thinking of this, Li Yunqing said: "I heard that the imperial court is encouraging the clan villages to continue to expand, and when the scale of the town is formed, you can hand over the fold to the imperial court, and the imperial court will allow the division of territory and the construction of cities." After the city was built, the imperial court would send officials to govern the place. If a clan has a champion, he can even be sent to the new city as an official, I wonder if the patriarch has such a plan? "The imperial court does not have such a will, this will was just issued by Li Yunqing, the more people in the empire, the stronger the national strength, this is naturally what the emperor wants to see.
Hearing this, the patriarch's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly: "If that's the case, it would be great, anyone wants their clan village to continue to expand and people to prosper." With such grace in the imperial court, my Tan clan naturally strives to multiply. It can even accommodate people from outside the village to settle down and be backward, and it is naturally an honor to be able to contribute a vassal city to the imperial court. "The patriarch is a shrewd man, and he knows that this is an opportunity for the Tan clan to rise. If Tanjia Village can really be turned into a city, even if some people with foreign surnames are recruited to come in, the Tan family in Tanjia Village is still a big clan in the village, and it will definitely be a big clan in the city in the future. Maybe in the future, the official in charge of the city will be the son of the Tan family, and maybe he will be ranked as the third prince in the future.
