People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 1121 World affairs and dinner
Su Dingfang said: "In fact, Zuo Wuwei is not suitable for you, nor is it suitable for displaying your talents."

Xue Rengui said in a low voice: "After I left Jingyang, I knew that there are many things that I cannot decide on my own."

After the First Battle of Goguryeo, Xue Rengui came to Zuowuwei according to His Majesty's will.

All this is indeed the meaning of His Majesty.

Xue Rengui said again: "That's the will, you can't refute it, and you can't make a decision. It doesn't care what you think at all."

Su Dingfang smiled bitterly, "Few people would say that, and many people would be very happy to receive His Majesty's will, let alone a reward."

While speaking, Su Dingfang paused for a moment, and a thought that he had never had before sprouted in his heart. He whispered: "It is indeed like what you said, it doesn't care what you think at all, and you can't refuse it."

To talk about the difference between the Jingyang Guards and Zuo Wuwei, everything in Zuo Wuwei must obey orders.

These days, Xue Rengui has become more and more aware of what he thinks in his heart. He couldn't express it before, but now he has an inexplicable feeling in his heart. The difference between the Jingyang Guard and Zuo Wuwei is fairness.

In Zuowuwei, everything must be obeyed by the superior general, but in Jingyang, everyone is equal.

Especially in Chang'an, this sense of oppression between superiors and subordinates will be more obvious.

I am used to the life in Jingyang, and this feeling is very obvious in the Weifu army.

This inexplicable and strong class makes people very uncomfortable.

Looking at other people, it seems that they can quickly integrate into it.

There was no news of Wei Zheng's memorial to Li Shimin to check the fields.

Li Shimin seemed to have never read this memorial.

After ten days of investigation, the household department finally checked all the fields in Jingyang.

Wei Zheng wanted to return to Chang'an with a cart full of files.

Li Zheng personally stood at the entrance of the village to see him off, "Duke Zheng will come to Jingyang often if he is free in the future."

Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said, "I will be very busy in the future, so don't miss me too much."

Li Zheng said with a smile: "Then you always walk slowly."

Wei Zheng walked out of the village with the officials from the household department.

Li Zheng stood at the entrance of the village and watched them off.

After returning to Chang'an, Wei Zheng walked into the palace with a memorial.

All the way to Ganlu Hall, Wei Zheng saw Li Shimin handing over the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, the Jingyang fields have been fully investigated."

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Tell me."

Wei Zheng opened the memorial and read: "Jingyang has 310 hectares of land, of which 160 hectares are cultivated paddy fields, 85 hectares are dry fields, and the rest are idle land."

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "What about taxes?"

Wei Zheng went on to say: "In previous years, the taxes were [-] shi and [-] shi, but this year the tax is [-] shi."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Fifty thousand shi of grain? Can Jingyang really get it?"

Wei Zheng handed over the memorial and said: "After several verifications, the tax paid by Jingyang is much higher. This is the result of checking with the Ministry of Households in the past few days."

Li Shimin looked at the memorial and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

After speaking, Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng, seeing that Wei Zheng was still standing there, Li Shimin said in a low voice, "Is there anything else?"

Wei Zheng bowed and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, there has been no reply to the memorial I submitted a few days ago."

After reading the memorial, Li Shimin put it down and said, "Wei Zheng, I have considered this matter myself."

Wei Zheng said again: "Your Majesty, it is imperative to check the land and acres in the world."

Seeing Wei Zheng's agitated expression, Li Shimin stood up and said, "Wei Zheng, you and I both know that the investigation of the land and acres in the world has a lot to do with it, but it's actually a matter of two or three sentences!"

Wei Zheng lowered his head and didn't refute. This is true, what a big deal it is to check the land and acres in the world.

Not to mention the Central Plains, just say that the land in Chang'an is a bad debt.

Can I check it?Can't stand the investigation.

Can you check it?

Li Shimin said: "If you have nothing else to do, you should step back first, I will keep this matter in mind."

Wei Zheng bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency will leave."

Jingyang
After sending Wei Zheng away, Yan Liben set off with the engineering team.

Li Zheng was sitting leisurely by the Jingyang River fishing.

Li Tai also walked over listlessly.

The two sat by the river in silence for a while.

"There have been some rumors in the DPRK recently."

Li Tai spoke first.

Li Zheng looked at the peaceful river and said, "What rumor?"

Li Tai said in a low voice: "This time the Ministry of Households' investigation of the farmland has spread to the court, and this time the investigation of your Jingyang Yangguang's fields has yielded nearly a hundred hectares of land. Such a big harvest requires the Ministry of Households to talk about it." Smile crookedly."

Li Zheng held the fishing rod and said, "There's nothing to hide."

After washing his face with river water, Li Tai lifted his spirits and said, "Recently, there has been a voice in the court saying that they want to investigate the land in the world."

Li Zheng said with emotion: "This is a big deal."

Li Tai said: "However, Emperor Father has never mentioned this matter, but it has made some dignitaries quite nervous."

Li Zheng said: "I'm not interested in the affairs of the court."

Li Tai still said: "I always feel that my father will not check the fields. This matter is too important. With my father's temperament, even if someone submits a memorial, I think my father will definitely read it and put it aside."

After thinking for a while, Li Tai said: "Do you think there is such a possibility? Someone indeed submitted a memorial to check the land, but the father read it and didn't want to check it, because there are too many things involved in it. Father I didn't intend to investigate, but just let the rumors out to appease the dignitaries outside, and it's a shock to investigate Jingyang Tianmu."

Li Zheng nodded and said: "The most frightening thing is that the knife didn't come down, but the knife hanging above the head is the most deterrent. Your father's method is not bad."

Li Tai shook his head and said: "There will be a period of time when the rich and powerful will restrain themselves, but it will only be for a period of time, and it will remain the same in the future. After people forget about this matter, it will be what it is."

The serious annexation of land was also the reason why the late Tang Dynasty was destroyed.

This is a problem that has been accumulated over the ages.

Li Shimin is still in power now, and nothing will happen in the next hundred years.

This is a long-term illness, and land management is a very complicated issue.

If it is not handled well, the dignitaries will conflict with the imperial power, and it is not easy to handle it well.

There are many aspects involved.

Li Tai watched Li Zheng catch a grass carp, saw that Li Zheng didn't speak, and asked, "Li Zheng, what do you think about this matter?"

Putting the fish into the bamboo basket, Li Zheng said, "I don't want to think about it now."

Li Tai asked curiously, "Then what are you thinking?"

Li Zheng said helplessly: "I'm thinking about what to eat tonight. Should I make fish soup? Or steam it?"
