Chapter 397: I Must Give It a Try

For those who live in Chang'an, life seems to be no different from day to day.

Or it's just that there are more merchants entering the city, or it's just that the market price of the miscellaneous slaves is lower.

Or there are a few more restaurants in the east and west markets that have never been seen before, or there are shops selling iron tools that put iron pots on the shelves.

Those who went into the city every day to collect filth received government subsidies and were able to buy several new cars.

Chang'an Shaofu rarely closed Suzaku Street section by section, and it is said that Tianjie will be rebuilt.

Originally, these changes were at least enough to be used for idle talk.

However, the new notice posted in Chang'an City at the end of July completely drew the attention of the whole city.

The city is proclaimed, and the Son of Heaven rewards him.

The city is where Chang'an enters the city, and there are many people who come and go every day.

Therefore, whenever there is a new decree, the government will also post a notice here and write it to the world.

Pei Xingjian, who had just returned from horseback riding outside the city, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the blocked city gate in front of him and felt extremely fresh.

The schoolwork at Kobunkan is far from heavy, so students often find other things to do in their free time.

After Pei Xingjian came back from Liangzhou, he very simply replaced the time he had practiced calligraphy with practicing riding, and took his foal out of the city every morning to run two laps, and then returned to the city to be busy with a day's homework when everyone was tired.

Xue Rengui rode a horse and opened a bow in the battle formation, and Su Dingfang could run for a hundred miles in an instant, and the two senior brothers could be called good at riding in the way of riding, Pei Xingjian did not want to be left behind.

And if you go to the Western Regions, how can your riding skills be bad?

But at this time...... Seeing that the people at the gate of the city were arguing like the East and West markets before and after the New Year, Pei Xingjian was also curious: What happened?

Listen attentively, and the surrounding discussions are also clearly in your ears:

“…… There is no Yongye Field, what kind of Juntian is this Qinghai Road? ”

"What about twenty acres of Yongye field? In my opinion, these two hundred acres of heirloom land are reliable! ”

"Shit! Isn't this dog's heirloom still a different name! ”

"Good dog, Your Majesty's edict is clearly written, heirloom fields can be passed on to children, if the fields are not adjacent, the government can measure and make up for the gaps, how can you not read?"

"Dead dog slave, what if I can't read, but I can report to the government to arrest the ......"

Pei Xingjian pinched his eyebrows, took out a few pennies to buy a convenient colt for the owner of the tea stall next to him, and showed the talisman in hand by the way to avoid his bad intentions.

Then he took advantage of the short body of the thirteen-year-old to get in, and it was not until he saw the notice of the city with his own eyes that Pei Xingjian understood what had happened.

The notice in front of me is clearly written, and it is the Juntian Decree established by the current Shengshang due to the annexation of Qinghai Road to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The Juntian Order and the Rent Decree were both issued in the seventh year of Wude, and now the people of the Tang Dynasty are no strangers to them.

Moreover, after the victory over the Turks last year, the current Shengshang issued a Juntian decree on the territory from Shuofang to Mokou, which was once occupied by the Turks, and additionally issued a relocation decree to exempt the people who were willing to go to Juntian in the southern part of the country.

Because of this, after hearing about the imperial court's destruction of Tuyuhun, many well-intentioned people are silently waiting for the new Juntian Order.

Although Monan is vast, after all, it is located in the severe cold and the transportation is inconvenient, if you encounter the wandering Turkic thieves, the imperial court is afraid that it will not be able to help.

Qinghai is different, located in Hexi is the main road often has garrison exchanges, and the merchants who came to Chang'an also said, saying that the green salt produced by Qinghai Road can be called absolute, even if it is not the salt field, but the building near the water can not be said to be able to get the moon first?

Even if it doesn't work, just talking about the geographical advantages should be able to make a profit or two from the Western Regions merchants, right?

But now Aomi Province's Junda Order is different from what it used to be.

In the original Juntian Order, 100 acres of land were granted to Ding men over the age of 16, of which 20 acres were privately owned Yongye fields, and 80 acres were the mouth fields recovered by the imperial court after his death.

Qinghai Dao Juntian Order said that men over the age of 16 can divide 100 acres of land, and if there is a marriage, another 100 acres will be added.

However, in this decree, there is no mention of Yongye Tian and Kou Fentian, but it is unified into heirloom fields that can be passed on to children and cannot be bought and sold, and if a family dies or flees, the heirloom land will be taken over to the Holy Lord.

If there is a private redemption, the buyer and the seller will be punished together.

After reading it hastily, Pei Xingjian couldn't contain a thought in his heart: Your Majesty wants to compete with the people for profit?

The proclamation is not very detailed, because it is necessary to set aside space to describe the relocation policy of Qinghai Province, which is not much different from the old Turkic land.

Although the notice is not very detailed, Chang'an has never lacked people who can analyze the text and study the righteousness, just by virtue of the implicit meaning, Pei Xingjian feels that tomorrow's moon is the court, and the civil and military officials are afraid that they will prepare a lot of questions for His Majesty.

After all, Your Majesty, if you don't send Yongye Tian today, then the day after tomorrow you may have to issue an order to abolish all Yongye Tian, although this conjecture is too terrifying, but this edict is really intriguing, it is difficult not to let people think about it.

However, it is useless in the end, Pei Xingjian, who has personally experienced the battlefield of Qinghai Road, clearly knows:

The prestige of the cannon is as strong as the determination of His Majesty.

It's just a pity that although he has meritorious service now, he has no official status and can't participate in the court meeting, and he can't see the scene of tomorrow's court meeting with his own eyes.

But...... Pei Xingjian also thought of his master, who has been closed since he returned to Kyoto, could it be that such a criticism, the master has long known?

Li Shimin, who was worried by Pei Xingjian, was tasting the bean curd made by the queen in the harem at the moment, and even had the leisure to taste it.

"Guanyin's hand-blended bean curd can be called sweet."

Empress Changsun couldn't cry or laugh, but she still carefully cut a piece of tender white tofu for Li Shimin and served it over.

Watching her husband chop the still warm tofu into pieces with chopsticks, dip it in the canned bean sauce and cane sugar in turn, and shake her head and taste it, Empress Changsun finally couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart, and sighed softly and said:

"Qinghai Road guards the west of the river and remotely controls the Western Regions, although it is not fertile soil, but it can be called good land."

"Although Your Majesty has a line of Juntian, it is believed that the land belongs to the Son of Heaven and will be criticized by the world."

Li Shimin focused on dealing with the tofu in front of him, and said without raising his head:

"Guanyin thinks I'm wrong?"

It is here that Li Shimin can put aside the imperial etiquette system and forget the self-proclaimed king.

Empress Eldest Sun knelt down beside Li Shimin, snuggled and muttered:

"Naturally, there is nothing wrong, the concubine is just worried, and the surging emotions make Lang Jun worry and burn himself."

Li Shimin sighed with satisfaction and said:

"I bark at the night, and I don't care."

Then there was no sound in this palace, only Chu Suiliang, who was standing aside, silently wrote on the notebook in his hand to stop.

As Li Shimin's living note, Chu Suiliang saw another side of His Majesty with his own eyes during this time.

He watched the young emperor stay awake all night, looking at the light curtain and not saying a word.

He watched the lord of the Tang Dynasty go on for several days, summoning the virtuous ministers to ask about the solution to the land annexation.

In the end, he watched the king who killed his brother and father either put his heart in his heart or scolded angrily, and finally persuaded Zaisuke to try the new Juntian Order.

Even about the controversy, he did what His Majesty said, and recorded it word for word in the living notes, and the end of the controversy could be seen by turning two pages forward from the notebook in his hand.

Xuan Ling said: This decree can make the country pass on forever?

The emperor said: No.

As obscure as he said: Why not wait for the detailed law of the future generations, and change it to the Mandate of Heaven according to it?

The emperor said: There is such a good opportunity, or it can be used as a lesson for those who come after it, and it must be tried in the end.
