Pei Xingjian came to Gaoling County early in the morning, and there is another person to see today, he is Li Daozong, the commander of the same state government.

At the beginning, Li Daozong was taken military power by the emperor, and recently he was sent to the same state to serve as the government commander, and the emperor gave his brother an official position that was enough for his old age.

Now Tongzhou is Zuo Fengyi of that year, with jurisdiction over the east of Weibei in Chang'an, and 24 counties under its jurisdiction.

In the early years, this name was taken because these twenty-four counties were the barrier of Chang'an City, and it meant that the barrier would assist the Beijing Division.

Today, there was a conflict between Gaoling and Lintong, and the people of the county on both sides fought fiercely, because the cloth sold in Gaoling was too cheap, and the cloth in Lintong County would not be able to be sold if it was sold like this.

At this time, as the heads of the two places, Pei Xingjian and Li Daozong bore the brunt.

Pei Xingjian was in charge of the twelve counties of Chang'an City, and Li Daozong was in charge of the twenty-four counties east of Weibei.

The villagers on both sides looked at each other across the river, Pei Xingjian and Li Daozong stood on the bridge, and they each glanced at the villagers behind them, and sighed at the same time with a very tacit understanding.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Li Daozong straightened his official uniform, "I can't let them fight anymore, if I fight again, I'm going to come to ask the old man again." ”

Pei Xingjian smiled ashamedly, "The rule is unfavorable, which makes the king of Jiangxia worried." ”

"Pei Fuyin said with a smile, the people of Weibei have always been like this, the old man is a martial artist, and he is not good at governance."

Pei Xingjian saluted again: "The king of Jiangxia County is humble. ”

Li Daozong said: "Then how to deal with this matter?" ”

Pei Xingjian said loudly to the villagers in Lintong County: "You all listen to this mansion Yin, the price of cloth produced in Gaoling is the same as the price of cloth produced in Lishan at the beginning, it has never changed, and the cloth is better than yours!" ”

"What are you going to do when you are making waves in this place, do you really think that there are fewer people killed by Yin in Persia back then?"

Pei Xingjian said loudly.

The people of Lintong County are still a little cowardly, after all, the Chang'an Order in front of them is a well-known cool official in Chang'an City, and if he says to kill someone, he will kill someone.

Pei Xingjian whispered: "Is it appropriate for Xia Guan to say this?" ”

Li Daozong wanted to speak and stopped, and said in his heart that this surnamed Pei is really protecting his shortcomings, so protecting his twelve counties, and scolding the old man's county citizens is not sensible?

I want to fight back, but I don't know where to start.

Pei Xingjian is a new star of the Tang Dynasty and a newcomer valued by His Majesty.

And he is also a disciple of Lishan, with Lishan's support.

Li Daozong smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

Pei Xingjian looked at the county residents of Lintong and said loudly: "If you don't want to change, you have to blame Gaoling County for producing more cloth and good quality, is there such a truth in this world?" ”

Behind Pei Xingjian, the citizens of Gaoling County cheered.

After closing the voice, Pei Xingjian whispered again: "King Jiangxia County, is it appropriate for the lower official to say so?" ”

Li Daozong replied with a black face and a smile: "That's right." ”

Pei Xingjian looked at the county residents of Lintong County and said loudly: "If Ruoer and the others want to seek a workaround, it is better to go to Lishan, and let your county go to Lishan to seek a workaround. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Li Daozong knew that it would be bad if he didn't speak anymore, and seeing that everyone couldn't get off the stage, he stepped forward and said loudly: "You all heard it, the old man will personally go to Lishan and disperse first." ”

The villagers left.

"Hehe, Pei Fu Yin is a young hero, the old man admires, why don't you take a step to speak?"

"It's fine."

Pei Xingjian took him into Gaoling County, and after the villagers dispersed, they entered normal production.

"The old man has heard about your deeds in the original battle against Persia."

"The subordinate is young and vigorous, and he has done a lot of things inwell, which has caused trouble for the general."

Now Pei Xingjian has changed his name, which means closeness.

Li Daozong patted him on the shoulder, "The old man was also a person who fought in the south and the north back then, but now this society no longer needs an old man like the old man." ”

"The general laughed, and the subordinate was ashamed."

"You're doing a good job with this Chang'an Order."

Pei Xingjian said again: "Actually, the lower official doesn't like the official position of Chang'an Ling, and I still remember what General Su Dingfang said at the beginning, in fact, the lower official is more suitable to be a military general." ”

Li Daozong suddenly smiled, as if he was laughing at himself.

He put his hands behind his back and looked at the huge workshop in the distance, "Tell the old man how you managed to produce 1,000 feet of cloth a day." ”

Pei Xingjian led people into the workshop and talked about the changes here, "In fact, Lishan not only has production equipment, but also a production system. ”

Li Daozong said: "The old man has heard of it, and I have heard some famous Confucians say that Lishan is squeezing out the people's power, and he wants to squeeze all the people's power in Guanzhong to create wealth, treat people as productive forces, treat people as resources, and divide the twelve hours into twenty-four hours in order to better exploit the people's power." ”

"This is against the Tang Dynasty's policy of cultivating life and rest, and it is also against the saint's classics, in the eyes of those famous Confucians, this is against the morality of the saint."

Pei Xingjian shook his head and said, "The lower officials don't dare to agree. ”

Li Daozong smiled: "Then you can talk about it." ”

"Hmm." Pei Xingjian still regarded Li Daozong as an elder, after all, the king of Jiangxia County back then was also a brave general, and he saluted.

"Because Xiaguan is a disciple of Lishan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin gave Xiaguan a book, which says that people's survival is inseparable from material, poverty will make material scarce, people's life is inseparable from material, if they blindly pursue spiritual morality, people will lose material."

"If people lose their spiritual morality, maybe they will no longer be good people, but if they lose the material things they have lost in production, they will lose everything."

"Xiaguan has seen the benefits of Lishan's production, but those people are still criticizing Lishan with morality, and Xiaguan can't tell whether he has misinterpreted Huang Lao's learning."

"But when the strong Han dynasty was at its peak, the Central Plains was rich, the powerful families had thousands of properties, but thousands of Qianshou were getting more and more barren, a large number of people lost their land and homes, and the powerful families became richer and richer, and people also lost the way to rise."

After listening to Pei Xingjian's tirade, Li Daozong frowned and pondered, and was silent for a long time without replying.

After a long time, Li Daozong asked again: "The twelve counties of Chang'an City are rich, and the twenty-four counties under the jurisdiction of the old man cannot sit idly by. ”

"I am willing to accompany you."

"Let's take a trip sometime."

Driven by Lishan, the twelve counties of Chang'an City, except for Ba County, Wannian, and Liquan counties did not cooperate with Lishan.

The rest of the counties are put into production.

Pei Xingjian wrote another piece and submitted it to the court.

In the palace, Li Shimin held a file in his hand, which was written about the distribution of manpower and the details of household registration in Chang'an counties, as well as statistics on human resources.

"This is written by Shangguan Yi?"

Fang Xuanling replied: "Exactly, he mastered a skill in Lishan at the beginning, classifying and summarizing, when he was in Lishan, he often helped Zhang Yang plan Guanzhong, this plan is five years, so that the current Lishan can master such a huge human resources." ”

"At that time, Shangguanyi had made statistics on the population, taxes, acres of land, water and soil, and the young and strong and elderly population of each county in Guanzhong, so as to count the geometry of the people in Guanzhong, and the geometry of forced labor? What is the idle civil power? How much is it to use these idle people's resources? ”

Lishan cultivated Shangguanyi into an encyclopedia in Guanzhong, Li Shimin had a smile on his face, what a good talent, the fruits cultivated by Lishan are now used by me.

Let Shangguanyi return to the court and let him serve as a secretary and supervisor, which is a year, and he is accompanied by the case all day long, consulting the classics of the court.

For a long time, the DPRK and China almost forgot that there was still Shangguan Yi.

Only His Majesty has been silently watching him.

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "Pei Xingjian, this kid is busy now." ”

Fang Xuanling smiled knowingly, these things can't be hidden from Your Majesty, don't look at Your Majesty sitting in the palace, but he knows everything about the wind and grass in Chang'an.

He bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, when the counties want to rebuild the workshop, Pei Xingjian is exhausted. ”

Li Shimin put down the piece in his hand, took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose, and asked, "Does Xuan Ling think it is appropriate for Pei Xingjian to continue to be placed in Jingzhao Mansion?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether Pei Xingjian is in the position of Jingzhao Mansion or not, what matters is how much talent Shangguan Yi can play." ”

"Well, Xuan Ling means to use Pei Xingjian to hone Shangguan Yi?"

"Your Majesty wants to cultivate the next generation of talents, so you have to observe it for a longer time."

"Zhang Yang said that you should put the right people in the right places."

"The minister thinks that this is a good thing for Lishan, but for the court, it depends on how valuable a person is, and how much he can contribute to the society."

Li Shimin smiled, opened his eyes and sat up straight.

Fang Xuanling bowed down and lowered his posture.

"Does Xuan Ling have any dealings with Shangguan Yi?"

"The minister is selected by the court, and he doesn't need to have dealings with anyone."

"Well, you're different from the auxiliary." Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "According to what you said, let Shangguan Yi serve as the chief secretary of Jingzhao Mansion and see how far he can go, so as to see the after-effects." ”

"Minister, let's arrange it."

The appointment of the Ministry of Books was issued.

The next day, Shangguan Yi changed into the official uniform of the master of Jingzhao Mansion and walked on Suzaku Street in Chang'an City.

Xu Jingzong was puzzled: "Your Majesty, how can you let Brother Shangguan go to Jingzhao Mansion to be a master bookkeeper." ”

Shangguan Yi smiled: "Perhaps, Your Majesty thinks that it is useless for Xia Guan to be in the secretary prison." ”

"It's better to go to Jingzhao Mansion to work than to be in the secretary and supervisor all day long, at least you can show your strength."

The two of them walked to the door of Jingzhao Mansion, and Pei Xingjian greeted them in front of the official office early.

"Brother Shangguan." Pei Xingjian saluted again and again, "It's great that you can come." ”

"It's Your Majesty Mingjian, let the lower officials come to Jingzhao Mansion to help Chang'an Ling."

The three of them rarely got together, and Xu Jingzong said: "Brother Shangguan came out of Lishan, and Brother Pei is a disciple of Lishan, and the two of you can make a big difference in Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Di Renjie has always been with His Royal Highness King Jin recently, and the two often go to Qujiangchi to walk around.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this matter is not simple."

"How is it not easy?"

Di Renjie put his hands behind his back, frowned, and said: "The court has the intention of letting Shangguan Yi replace Pei Xingjian." ”

Li Zhi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Does Renjie think that Pei Xingjian's ability to do things in Jingzhao Mansion is not good?" ”

"Pei Xingjian has made miraculous achievements in Persia, and the governance of Jingzhao Mansion is indeed effective, but it always gives people a feeling of restraining their hands and feet."

Li Zhi said with a smile: "My father has always been cautious in employing people, Shangguanyi is from Lishan, and it is natural that there will be a recovery, so you don't need to think about it." ”

Di Renjie said again: "There are more and more officials related to Lishan in the court. ”

Li Zhi persuaded: "Renjie and rest assured, my brother-in-law has never been interested in the official career, after going to the official ceremony, there will be no officials related to Lishan, Pei Xingjian is the last." ”

Seeing Di Renjie pour another sip of wine, Li Zhi frowned and said: "Renjie, although Cambodia is lazy on weekdays, what he says is mostly nonsense, and there is a sentence that is quite right." ”

"What's wrong?"

Li Zhi sighed: "You should have less dealings with those bad people, look at the way you drink, according to our Lishan rules, you shouldn't drink like this when you're young, even your brother-in-law often quits drinking." ”

"Doesn't the Hou of Lishan County drink alcohol on weekdays?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "If it's not necessary, don't drink." ”

Di Renjie put down the wine bowl in his hand, "If you don't drink, life will be boring." ”

"There are many joys in life, and my brother-in-law often says to give yourself something to look forward to."

"Yes." Di Renjie nodded in agreement, "If you don't drink for ten days, you will get drunk after ten days, wonderful." ”

Li Zhi was a little speechless and didn't want to persuade him.

Zhang Yang felt that the use of money in the DPRK and China was too unrestrained, and there was no discipline in the use of money, and Cen Wenwen also felt that the use of the DPRK and China should be considered again.

At least at the beginning, under Zhang Yang's various suggestions, the DPRK and China's policy of opening up sources and reducing expenditure was quite effective.

But after the recital was submitted, His Majesty did not give a reply.

This made Cen Wenwen feel very lost.

"Cen Zhongcheng, Longyou urgently."

Cen Wenwen lost interest, "Give it to Zheng Gong." ”

was already idle, so he changed his words and said: "Hand it over, and the old man will hand it over to Gong Zheng." ”

"Whoa." The clerk handed the paperwork over.

Cen Wenwen opened the document and glanced at it, but lost interest and put the document down.

After being silent for a long time, he picked up the document again and looked at it, there are more and more villagers who have moved from Longyou?

And these villagers lost their fields in Longyou and wanted to come to Chang'an City to find a living.

It has only been a few years since the establishment of Datang, and the lifespan of the Longyou gate valve is longer than that of the previous Sui.

The family, the clothes, the family, and the powerful family are not good things.

The entanglement between Longyou's gate valve and His Majesty is all an old thing.

Moreover, Li Tang, Jiangshan, Sheji and Longyou are also inextricably linked.

Only His Majesty can manage these old things, and no one else can manage them.

They still don't let Lishan plant trees on their own territory?

It's all.

Cen Wenwen put down this piece again, just put it down for a moment, hesitated to pick it up, and handed it to another official, "To Zheng Gong." ”

"Huh?" The little official was stunned for a moment, seeing that Cen Zhongcheng was absent-minded and unruly today, he couldn't shirk it, and he took it with both hands and replied: "This will go to Zheng Gong." ”

In addition to the urgent report to Chaozhong, it was also given to Lishan, and Zhang Yang put the letter in front of his daughter-in-law.

Looking at the map on the wall, Longyou is in the west of Chang'an City, that is, Longxi.

The geographical location is sandwiched between the Hexi Corridor and the boundary of Chang'an.

From Lingtai to Tianshui County are the boundaries of Longxi.

This realm was also a place where famous families were entrenched, and it reached its peak during the Northern Wei Dynasty.
