Chapter 1006 a year later

Three years of Western Qin, Chang'an.

Qianyuan looked at the carved railings and paintings, the endless palace, and his face was full of achievements and pride.

In the past year, he took more than 100,000 prisoners of war and thousands of Mo craftsmen to build the new palace by working day and night.

The images of stone and wood sent by the local government were still vaguely flowing in Qianyuan's mind.

The cost of building a palace in the shortest possible time is unimaginable.

However, for the sake of His Majesty's majesty, even if the treasury is emptied, it is worth it, Qianyuan thought.

"When~"

When Qianyuan was thinking wildly, there was a melodious and long bell in the newly built Western Qin Palace.

Qianyuan hurriedly put away his thoughts and strode towards the Chengtian Palace, today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, His Majesty summoned the civil and military officials to discuss the matter, he is bound to be present as the head of the household.

The gate of the Western Qin Palace was not close to the Chengtian Palace, and Qianyuan was extremely fast, and he stepped into the main hall before the third bell rang.

Then, under the guidance of Jin Wuwei, he found the position where he should stand.

After Qianyuan stood up, he looked around, and there were a few more figures in his eyes that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Next to Prime Minister Chen Ping, stood Han Xin, Marquis of Surabaya, who had been ordered to guard southern Xinjiang and had not returned to Chang'an for more than a year.

Opposite Qianyuan, Zhang Han, Li Xin, Yu Ziqi and others wore armor and waited for the court meeting to start with expressionless faces.

Qianyuan couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Could it be that there is any important day recently? Why did Your Majesty suddenly recall all the generals who were guarding the Quartet?"

Without waiting for Qianyuan to think about it, a Huangmen squire walked up the steps, opened his throat and shouted, "Welcome to Your Majesty." ”

Lin Ze, who was wearing a flat crown on his head, a black dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and a Tianwen sword at his waist, suddenly appeared in front of the dragon chair and sat down slowly.

Prime Minister Chen Ping took the lead and bowed, and shouted loudly: "The ministers come to see Your Majesty." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

All the officials responded in unison, got up, and lowered their heads slightly to show respect.

The Yellow Gate Squire shouted again in a sharp voice: "Hundred officials play." ”

As the head of the hundred officials, Prime Minister Chen Ping was the first to walk out of the array, bowed to Lin Ze and said, "Chen Ping has a performance." ”

Lin Ze said casually: "Quasi-play." ”

Chen Ping Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, yesterday I received a report from the governor of Dongshan Province, and all the dry fields, paddy fields, and salt fields in Jiaodong County were re-measured and graded. ”

In addition, 800,000 mu of newly reclaimed paddy fields in the five provinces of southern Xinjiang will be registered according to the fifth-class inferior fields, and the grade will not be changed within five years in accordance with the new policy. ”

"According to the statistics of the counties and counties, since the promulgation of the new policy by His Majesty, the grain production in various places has increased by nearly 30 percent, and the grain tax collected is less than one-third of that of previous years. The people have praised His Majesty as the king, and the world is in the heart, which is gratifying. ”

Lin Ze just smiled lightly when he heard this: "The prime minister has worked hard, come here, pass on my will, and crown the prime minister as the prince of Yangwu County, with 8,000 households, and the hereditary replacement." ”

"The rest of the meritorious people will be compiled into a book by the prime minister according to the size of the merit, and they will be rewarded together when they are returned, and I will not describe them one by one here. ”

Chen Ping immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward." ”

Over the past year, Lin Ze, who has enjoyed countless Qi Luck empowerments, was in a very happy mood, waved his hand and said, "I have always had clear rewards and punishments, which the prime minister and the ministers deserve. ”

"I hope that the new policy will continue to be implemented, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the world will be peaceful. ”

As soon as Lin Ze's words fell, Chang'an Ling Zhou Xing sighed: "The people of the world have a Ming monarch like Your Majesty, how fortunate they are." ”

Afterwards, four or five civil officials came out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, which is really the blessing of the society and the people." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Okay, there is no need to say flattery, Han Xin, let me ask you, how do you feel after guarding southern Xinjiang for more than a year?"

Han Xin, who was named by Lin Ze, immediately came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since Your Majesty decreed that monks should work for the government in exchange for food and money, the vast southern Xinjiang has gradually turned from barren land to fertile wilderness. ”

As the prime minister said, 800,000 acres of new paddy fields have been added in the past year, and they are continuing to increase. ”

Lin Ze let out a faint "um", and then asked, "How are those monks doing, are there any signs of chaos?"

For the development of southern Xinjiang, Lin Ze is not very concerned, but he is quite interested in the current state of Buddhism.

Although every once in a while, news about Buddhist disciples would come from the Jinyi guards all over the southern Xinjiang, Lin Ze still wanted to hear Han Xin's opinion.

Han Xin thought for a while and said, "This matter is strange, no matter how hard the local government arranges it, these monks can always work hard to complete it. Occasionally, if a person is caught by an overseer, it will be a heavy punishment. ”

"They don't think they have the courage to make trouble. ”

After listening to Han Xin's answer, Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh, the world of high martial arts is good.

First, the strong force can arbitrarily control the weak to work, but there is no need to worry about the weak making trouble, because the backhand can be suppressed.

Second, ordinary people have strong physical fitness as a whole and are not easy to die of overwork.

For those monks, if they can live if they are obedient, why should they resist someone who cannot be defeated at all, and thus lose their lives?

Lin Ze asked again, "Have you found any other abnormalities?"

Han Xin shook his head and said, "The minister didn't find anything else. ”

Lin Ze frowned slightly, a year ago, the Buddha suddenly appeared and harmed Guanyin, a strong man in Buddhism.

In order to prevent the Buddha from making a comeback in a short period of time, Lin Ze not only imprisoned Maitreya Jizang in disguise, but also used the hands of Xuantang and the Buddhas to press the Buddha into the dust.

Lin Ze thought that the Buddha would make some changes, but he didn't think that he would be quite able to bear it, more than a year has passed, and there is not even the slightest rumor.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze waved and said, "You step down, Zhang Hanyu Ziqi, I ask you, you have been tracking Liu Ji's whereabouts for more than a year, do you have any gains?"

Zhang Han and Yu Ziqi glanced at each other, and then Zhang Han spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent people to search the area three times, but no trace of Liu Ji has been found. ”

"Three months ago, the minister sent people to the sea to search, and on an island, found signs of human life, and the minister boldly speculated that Liu Ji may have fled overseas. ”

Lin Ze said indifferently: "Since there is this speculation, then continue to investigate, the hereditary throne, I will keep it for you first, and if I catch Liu Ji one day, I will give it to you." ”

"If you can't catch that Liu Ji in your life, then you can count on future generations to have a little chance and find a way to make a marquis. ”

Zhang Han bowed down and bowed: "The minister obeys." ”
