Although Pharmacist Li had 400 households to serve as envoys, he did not send them for a while in consideration of agricultural time.

Under the guidance of Lu Zesheng, Li Dejian began to collect the materials necessary for construction.

However, in the summer of this year, there was a severe drought in Shandong Prefecture.

Although Guanzhong did not become a disaster, it was also affected.

In autumn, frost damaged autumn crops in border states, and Guanzhong was affected again.

Although the Weishui Basin is not the main disaster area, the overlap of the two has caused the 800-mile Qinchuan River, which has been known as "the golden city for thousands of miles" and "the land of abundance" since ancient times, to suffer seriously.

After the summer, Pharmacist Li had ordered Li Dejian to increase the planning of the pavilion in the garden.

Li Dejian was puzzled, but his father didn't say it, so he had to ask his mother: "A-Niang, if disasters are still frequent today, we should build a mansion that should be more simple." Why did Daddy originally ask for simplicity, but now he did the opposite? ”

Out of the dust only said: "Your father's actions must have a deep meaning." Although we are puzzled for a while, we should be able to understand it in the future. Now you just have to do what your father tells you to do, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

The garden, known as the garden in later generations and the "Shanchi Courtyard" in the Sui and Tang dynasties, is one of the quintessential features of Chinese architectural culture.

As early as Yin Shang Ji Zhou, there was a garden pond.

By the Qin and Han dynasties, this kind of construction was no longer limited to the imperial palace ban, and a small number of private gardens began to appear.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, landscape poets and hermits brought the style of the garden from the traditional symmetry and solemnity to the natural and casual charm.

Although the planning of the early Tangshan Pond Courtyard is not as mature as the two Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, it has been in harmony with the spirit of Confucianism "the wise man enjoys the water, the benevolent man enjoys the mountain", the Taoist "heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me", and the doctor "corresponds to heaven and earth, and matches the four seasons", showing the pattern of the unity of heaven and man.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the enslavement was regulated by rent.

Pharmacist Li's 400 households were sealed with food, and according to the law, they should pay him grain and cloth after the autumn harvest.

However, this autumn harvest is poor, and many families are even unable to eat, how can they afford to pay for food? In the past dynasties, when there was a famine year and the people could not continue, there were only about two ways out.

One is to sell children and women, and the other is to sell agricultural land at a low price.

In this way, on the one hand, the loss of Dingkou gradually became unmanned farming; On the other hand, there is a loss of agricultural land, and there is gradually no land to plant.

For a long time, a vicious circle has been formed, which will eventually lead to popular unrest and the destruction of the country.

However, once Zhenguan, the monarch and the ministers worked hard.

For the great drought in Shandong in summer and the frost in autumn in the autumn states, the emperor opened a warehouse to provide relief on the one hand, and exempted the rent on the other hand.

Most of the courtiers who received the real seal of food, including Pharmacist Li, went up and down.

Pharmacist Li went one step further, and after the autumn farming, he began to build his own house on a large scale.

Chuchen immediately understood the deep meaning of his husband, and said with a smile: "Yan Zi is because of the battle of Lu Sleep to revitalize the people, and Lord Shangshu has already 'far away', and he must also 'pay attention to it, and Xu Qi's day will not tend'?" ”

The quotation here is from "Yanzi Spring and Autumn. Qi Hunger Yanzi because of the battle of Lu Sleep to revitalize the people".

The so-called "heavy rent" means to increase the wages of craftsmen; "Far away", which means to increase the construction of the project; "Xu Qiri", which means to slow down the progress of construction; "And not to tend" means not to rush the date of completion.

In this way, the victims can have an income and their families can make a living.

In later generations, the concept of "cash for work" originated from this.

At this time, Pharmacist Li bowed his head: "Yes." Then he smiled again: "That's all? ”

Chuchen pondered for a moment and smiled: "Yes." At the beginning, the height of the gatehouse was retreated, and it was more far-sighted. In the future, no matter who passes by, the first thing that can be seen is the gatehouse that is slightly lower than its peers. is so preconceived, and then enters, even if he sees many courtyards and stacked mountain pools, he will not think about it again. ”

Pharmacist Li Shu Yang was delighted, slowly stretched out his arms, and gently hugged his beloved wife into his arms.

The time sequence entered the second year of Zhenguan.

After the beginning of spring, there was another change in cabinet personnel.

The reason recorded in the history books is that he was too intimate with the emperor in both public and private, not only the courtiers looked sideways, but he himself also felt inappropriate and insisted on abdication.

Empress Changsun asked for help, but Li Shimin had to agree.

As a result, the eldest grandson Wuji resigned from the ministry position of Shangshu's right servant and became the third secretary of the Kaifu Yitong, so that he could devote his time and energy to formulating laws.

Based on the "Wude Law", he completed the compilation of the "Zhenguan Law" in the eleventh year of Zhenguan.

Later, it was rebuilt in the Yonghui reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and the "Yonghui Law" was written, and a note was attached to the law.

Later generations called the "Yonghui Law" and the commentary together as the "Tang Law Shu Yi", this law perfectly combined the "rites" and "law" in Chinese culture, and its far-reaching influence not only extended to the two Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, but also continued to this day, and even spread to many countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

This is a later story, and it is said that at that time......

A month ago, Xiao Yu, the left servant, was deposed, and at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji, the right servant, had left his post again, and the two positions of Zaifu at the head of the Tang Dynasty were all vacant.

The emperor inspected the school with Du Ruhui, the secretary of the military department, but because Du Ruhui was sick because of the secretary of the ministry, Du Ruhui was also the regent.

At this time, the Son of Heaven was still resting in the East Palace, so he was still the director of the Ministry of War, and the East Palace was still in charge of the soldiers.

At the same time, the emperor and the criminal department of Shangshu Li Yaoshi inspected the school book, and still led the prince's left guard rate.

Du Ruhui and Li Yaoshi originally had the title of participating in national politics, but at this time they not only became veritable prime ministers, but also the cabinet members with the most part-time jobs in the DPRK and China.

However, Pharmacist Li not only became the prime minister, he soon had to be a general again, and at the same time "entering the prime minister", he was also "out of the general".

Just because of the autumn and winter of the past year, the Tang Dynasty certainly suffered from frost and autumn crops, and there was a drought and famine in the Guannei; The Turks were even more affected by the cold, with heavy snow on the flat land for several feet, many sheep and horses froze to death, and the people were hungry and withered.

Jieli Khan was worried that the Tang Dynasty would see that his national strength was weak, but he was afraid that he would take the opportunity to raise his army to the north, so in the name of hunting, he took the lead in leading his troops into the territory of Mayi.

Since the Warring States Period, when Zhao incorporated Mayi into its territory, it has been a place where Middle Earth and Beidi have competed.

After the Ying Qin, the Two Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasties, the Northern Dynasties, the Yang Sui, and the early Tang Dynasty, it still has not changed slightly.

At this time, although Jieli claimed to be able to hunt, Zhenguan Junchen knew very well that he was actually setting up armaments at the junction of the two countries.

So Li Shimin sent Hongluqing Zheng Yuanxuan to the Turks to verify the news.

The rise and fall of the national fortunes of nomads depends on the number of sheep and horses.

Zheng Yuanxuan came to the outside of the Saiwai, but saw that his people were hungry and thin, which was a sign of imminent death.

He returned to the court to report that the Turks were already in decline, and forgive them for the rest of the years, which would not exceed three years.

Some of the courtiers also suggested that they take advantage of the weakness of the Turks to send troops to attack.

However, Li Shimin did not accept it, but said: "However, more than a year ago, I formed an alliance with the Turks, and now I have repeatedly turned my back on it, because I don't believe it; It is unkind to seek one's own benefit because of the calamity of another; Taking advantage of the danger of others to win for one's own side is not to use force. ”
