In the past, Pharmacist Li Nan had instructed the governors of various localities to measure the land and census the population, and grant land accordingly.

At the beginning of the donna, the time of rent is collected according to the harvest period of local crops; The time for the transfer is levied in August, and it is transferred to the Beijing Division or a designated place in September.

This time, Pharmacist Li returned to Lingnan just in time for the local autumn grain harvest.

The weather and climate of Lingnan are suitable for the growth of rice, and the products are abundant, and the rent is more than enough.

However, the tune...

The early Donna tune was based on silk, which was a silk fabric.

In areas where silk is not produced, it is folded into cloth, and cloth is a linen fabric.

The customs of raising silkworms and reeling silk and planting hemp and weaving cloth in Lingnan are far less common than those in the Central Plains.

Therefore, this year's collection was not complete.

Lingnan was included in the Tang Dynasty for less than half a year, and Pharmacist Li could have written a letter to ask for a lenient loan adjustment period.

However, he saw a special kind of fabric called "Gubei" in the local area, and the thin one was "Baibei".

"Gubei" has been better than linen, and "Bai" is more fine and soft and white, which can be compared to silk.

This is a kapok fabric, which is spun with tidbits and is an ancient traditional craft of the slang people.

It was more than 600 years before this technique was introduced to Middle-earth by Huang Daopo.

At that time, it was only available in Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, and in other places, especially in Guanzhong, where the capital of the Tang Dynasty was located, this thing was very precious and rare.

Pharmacist Li pondered, why not replace part of the silk silk with white and ancient shellfish and pay taxes? So the book into the local situation, and to Guanzhong standard to compare the value of the fabric, white shell, Gubei is relatively expensive.

Therefore, although the amount paid by Lingnan is small, the value is high.

The court was very pleased and issued an edict of encouragement.

Pharmacist Li will give rewards to the local area, so that the people can be grateful.

In the future, the central government promulgated a new system of "renting and adjusting", that is, according to the practice of Pharmacist Li replacing part of the silk silk with white and ancient shells, the "tune" was changed to "according to the land", not limited to silk and linen.

However, in addition to Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, there are no white and ancient shells in the rest of the region.

Pharmacist Li asked Hebi to recruit migrant workers to help Lu Zesheng carry out the project, and purchased fabrics from the private sector with his wages and handed them over to the state treasury.

This is an adaptation of the substitution of "mediation" with forced labor, and it is also the predecessor of the "rent-mediocre adjustment" system.

In addition to the fabrics, Pharmacist Li also tasted a taste of strange things in the local area.

At that time, the liquor of Middle-earth was all brewed wine, and the alcohol concentration was quite low.

There is a kind of wine in Lianzhou, which is drunk when you drink less.

This is obtained by heating the brewed liquor and receiving the dew, which is the distilled spirit of later generations.

Pharmacist Li recalled that four years ago, at the first meeting of Li Chu, Li Xiaogong brought several urns of Jian Nanchun of Bashu Mianzhu, which was absolutely a fine wine! If Jian Nanchun is heated according to the law and dew is obtained, I don't know what kind of flavor it will be? So he gave the technique of Lianzhou soju to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong steamed wine in accordance with the law, and unexpectedly got an unprecedented wine, which opened the indiscriminate use of "Jiannan Burning Spring" in later generations.

In terms of education, Pharmacist Li allocated funds to solicit the gentry to run schools, bringing the method of taking scholars from the center into Lingnan.

However, at that time, the schools at the state and county levels were only on the scale of creation.

In the process of inspecting the Quartet, Pharmacist Li came to Connecticut.

After Emperor Wen of Sui destroyed the Chen State, because of its land, Duanxi was placed here.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty changed the state to the county and took it as Xin'an County.

After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yaoshi undertook the system and gave instructions, and divided Xin'an County into Duanzhou and Kangzhou, with Liu Xun as the marching governor of the Kangzhou Governor's Office, and commanded Duan, Kang, Feng, Xin, Song, and Taki.

At this time, in addition to reporting to Pharmacist Li on the administration of the prefectures, Liu Xun specially invited him to go to Antelope Gorge.

Duanzhou, Kangzhou, and Antelope Gorge are all in today's Zhaoqing, Guangdong, only more than 100 miles away from Guangzhou.

Guangzhou is also known as Wuyang City, known as the legend of "five immortals riding five-colored sheep holding six spikes".

Duanzhou has another saying, saying that the original six sheep, before arriving in Guangzhou, passing through its place, the immortals because they saw the steep Xiajiang River, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, put down a sheep to become Antelope Gorge.

Pharmacist Li came here, but saw that the two mountains on the riverside were choked by each other, the canyon was steep and the water was turbulent, which was enough to be a man and a man, and it was a natural danger.

Between the high mountains and dense forests, the craggy cliffs, the layers of mountains and green, and the cliffs are thousands of feet, there are ancient temples built by the Southern Dynasties.

Liu Xun did not take Pharmacist Li up the mountain to visit, but came to the riverbank.

It is full of ancient banyan trees with bouldering roots, and its leaves are dense, green in winter, and covered like an umbrella.

Under the umbrella, there are locks of banyan whiskers, fluttering in the wind.

Pharmacist Li praised: "If the scenery is like this, it is really not something that can be seen in the northland!" ”

Duanxi is near the left, and the stream accumulates rocks that have fallen due to ground movement.

Liu Yi picked up a piece and gave it to Pharmacist Li: "Shi Jun, please take a look." ”

Pharmacist Li inspected the handle, but saw that the stone was blue and purple, dense and heavy, and pondered: "This stone is warm and thick, like jade and heavy, if you use it to make inkstone, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Liu Xun took a deep look and said with a smile: "Shi Jun, high! The lower officials made the inkstone with this stone, but the ink was bright and bright, and it was not dry for a long time. ”

Pharmacist Li said happily: "Is this really the case? ”

After returning to the palace, Liu Xun asked Pharmacist Li to try out the inkstone made of Duanxi Mountain stone.

After the inspection, Pharmacist Li brought the inkstone back to Guizhou.

Lu Zesheng saw that there were occasional green dots in the blue and purple of the inkstone, the small ones were like mustard seeds, and the big ones were like five baht.

In the meantime, there may be black essence, and there is a moon halo outside, full of praise, which is the "robin eye" of the best inkstone in later generations.

In the future, Pharmacist Li brought this inkstone back to Chang'an, and finally made Duanzhou Duan Yan and Shezhou She Yan, Lintao Tao Yan, and Jiangzhou Chengni Yan tied for the "Four Famous Inkstones", which was headed by Duan Yan.

While observing the people's feelings, extensively administering moral politics, building localities, and revitalizing military education, Pharmacist Li did not neglect the major affairs of the military state.

In his shogunate in Chang'an, he would send a newspaper every few days, with notes from his subordinates, and occasionally dusty letters.

In February of the sixth year of Wude, after half a year of suspense, the bad news finally came.

Princess Pingyang died, and she was overwhelmed with grief.

Li Yuan's favorite of all daughters in his heart is the fourth daughter, Princess Gaomi.

However, for Princess Pingyang, the only concubine, he even has a little respect for his father's love.

After all, she is such a rare strange woman through the ages.

The emperor ordered the ceremonial officials, according to the meaning of "Mingde meritorious Zhao" in the "Law", Princess Pingyang said "Zhao".

The funeral edict was added before and after the feather bao, the advocacy, the big chariot, and the building, and there were forty swords, as well as tiger armor.

Such a special favor has gone beyond the system of law, so that Taichang Temple, who is in charge of the rituals of the temple, objected: "According to the ceremony, the woman has no advocacy." ”

Li Yuan disagreed: "Propaganda is military music. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the princess raised troops in Sizhu to respond to the banner of righteousness, and then repeatedly held the golden drum in person to defeat the enemy. As far back as the Zhou Dynasty, Wenmu had been listed as "ten chaos". The princess's merits are not comparable to ordinary women, how can she not advocate it! ”
