Dajin royal family

Chapter 638 Zhaohuang Era ([-])

Zhaohuang seven years.

It has been seven years since Emperor Jiang Chengxiao unified the world. In these seven years, Emperor Jiang Chengxiao has worked hard to govern, lightened corvee, eliminated tyrannical government, and the national power has been booming.The common people gradually recover from the quagmire of the troubled times, every household has a surplus every year, and their lives are getting better and better.

In the second year of Emperor Zhaohuang, in order to reduce the expenditure in the palace, the emperor Jiang Chengxiao adopted the suggestion of the imperial historian Guan Di.It was ordered that all women in the palace who were willing to go back to their hometown were allowed to be dismissed and released, and each of them was given a large sum of money. At that time, the women in the palace left three thousand.

It is worth mentioning that these three thousand women were not brought into the harem by Jiang Chengxiao for his own selfish desires. Most of them were forced into the palace by rebels in the past. After the Jin Dynasty wiped out the rebels, these women naturally entered the Jin Palace.

The official historian records; "Book of Jin Taizong Benji" said: "The court lady Dijian of Yushi returned to her hometown, and the emperor accepted her. There were three thousand people who left at that time, and the crowd praised her at that time."

Since the troubled times, the population of the Jin family has declined sharply, and Shandong and the Central Plains are even more empty. In order to restore the population as soon as possible, the emperor ordered: "Every child born to the common people, regardless of male or female, has land."

At that time, the emperor implemented the system of "split ding into mu" and abolished the "poll tax" and paid taxes according to the amount of land. In addition to the initial unification of the world, the emperor abolished the national three-year tax to ease the pressure on the people and fully resume production.

The trick of "spreading into the mu" is a pinch attack.

First of all, since the troubled times, most of the land of the aristocratic families has been given to the imperial court. Although they have a large population, most of their income has been turned into commercial profits. There are not many fields. Ways to occupy fields and gather tenants.

Secondly, the common people have children crazily because of "they can get the land after having a child", and because "the court collects taxes according to the amount of land, and restrains themselves so as not to have children for the sake of having children", the aristocratic family and the common people are in a relatively 'Equal' starting line.

Both parties can accept it.

Even so, the common people still have children crazily because of the decree of "giving birth to a child and sharing the land". The temptation of the land is too great for them.

In the early years, the number of newborns increased dramatically.The emperor once again issued an order to check the acres of land across the country, and to curb the behavior of "maliciously" giving birth to children and defrauding the land. The two new laws have been amended and improved many times, and finally reached a relatively perfect point.

In the seventh year of Emperor Zhaohuang, the population grew rapidly, and people in counties and counties all over the country actively developed new fields.

In March of that year, Tatsan Gampo, king of Tubo, led [-] soldiers, and went to Heyuan County in the west.King Tuyuhun led [-] troops to attack Xiping County.

For a while, the counties in Longxi were in a hurry.

In April, Tuyuhun invaded Xiping County, burning, killing and looting.

Tubo King Tatsan Gampo conquered Heyuan County and sent envoys to Zhongdu. The envoys met with the emperor and said that the Tubo king wanted to marry the eldest princess of Luoyang as the queen.

Luoyang was renamed Zhongdu in the third year of Emperor Zhaohuang, and was one of the five capitals of the Jin Dynasty, along with Taiyuan in the north, Chang'an in the west, Jiangdu in the east, and Jiangling in the south.

Luoyang, the central capital, is located in the middle of the world, and it is the capital city, and the other four are the accompanying capitals.

At that time, the theory of Tubo asking for relatives and withdrawing troops was aroused by the hustle and bustle of the imperial court. The "Peace Sect" headed by Lu Huaishen, the imperial historian, and Zheng Shanyuan, the minister of the household department, very much agreed with this request.They believe that it is very worthwhile to exchange a woman for border peace.

Contrary to them, the generals of Wuyuan Palace sternly refused and repeatedly asked to lead troops to fight against Tubo.

In the second year of Emperor Zhaohuang, the emperor divided civil and military affairs, the Ziwei Hall discussed politics, and the Wuyuan Hall discussed military affairs, and neither interfered.

The invasion of Tubo and Tuyuhun caused the conflict between Wuyuan Palace and Ziwei Palace to erupt for the first time.

The people in Zhongdu are discussing a lot, some support sending troops, some support making peace.

Those who support Heqin believe that the Tubo Mountains are high and far away, and it is not easy to crusade, and it will not be long before the world is settled, and the lives of the people will finally return to normal. If there is a national war at this time, no matter whether they win or lose, the pressure on the people will increase dramatically.

Most of the people who supported the dispatch of troops were military households. Among them, the students of Zhongdu Military Academy were like howling wolf cubs, eager to go to Chengtianmen to petition for war.

Therefore, the eldest son of the Qin family uttered wild words: "Whether the country is peaceful or not depends on a woman's breasts?"

Then, Qin Yujing, Duke of Shu who planned a cemetery for himself in Zhaoling, heard that his son was doing something at the Zhongdu Military Academy, and rushed home in the middle of the night, arrested Qin Huaicheng, pinned him in the ancestral hall, and beat him up violently.

The beating made Qin Huaicheng howl for most of the night.

The two younger brothers and one younger sister were so scared that they hid in the room and shivered.

"You little bastard with no hair on your head, you are a military principal, right? If you dare to talk about government affairs, you still have to go to Chengtianmen to petition. You want to turn the world upside down! I will beat you to death!"

Saying that, Qin Yujing whipped Qin Huaicheng's ass again, beating him to pieces.

Originally, Qin Yujing got the emperor's permission, and happily went to Zhaoling to plan the address of the cemetery for herself, and planned to stay there to accompany the emperor in the next hundred years.

As a result, before the stone lion in the cemetery had finished admiring it, Cheng Zhijie heard Cheng Zhijie say that their little bastards were doing things in the Zhongdu Military Academy.

Even going to Chengtianmen to petition, Qin Yujing was frightened into a cold sweat.The stone lion didn't look at it, and he didn't choose the location of the cemetery. He ran back overnight carrying his horse.

He originally wanted to choose a good place, close to the emperor, but after being messed with by the little brat at home, he suddenly lost his mood.

Qin Huaicheng is also a heroic young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He looks exactly like his father. He is tall and powerful.Later, at the age of 12, he entered the Zhongdu Military Academy, where he studied under the principal Emperor Jiang Chengxiao, and the dean of the Strategy College Li Yaoshi. Today, he is approaching graduation and has nowhere to vent his passion.

Hearing that Tubo and Tuyuhun dared to offend the Celestial Dynasty, they immediately became angry and gathered a group of friends in the military academy to do something.

Unexpectedly, he was beaten by his father when he returned home that night.

"Father, the child is right, the country is peaceful, how can we replace it with a woman's breasts, where will this put us military academy children, and where will our martial arts noble face be placed!" The little guy gritted his teeth and retorted.

Qin Yujing frowned and didn't interrupt him.

"You shouldn't talk about government affairs indiscriminately. It's war or peace. Only His Majesty will rule. If His Majesty wants to fight, the Qin family will have no battlefield at all."

In front of the Shu Kingdom's mansion, there stood eighteen long halberds, which represented his glory. How could he, Qin Yujing, be afraid of war!
"Father, will the principal, His Majesty, send troops?"

"do not know."

As soon as the words fell, a housekeeper came to report: "Grandpa, General Zuowei is here."

"General Nan is here?" Qin Yujing thought of something, and his whole body trembled, "Follow me to meet him quickly."

He hurriedly started to leave, stopped when he reached the door, turned to Qin Huaicheng and said, "Go back to your room, you are not allowed to leave the house without my permission!"

"Oh" Qin Huaicheng responded.

"Have you forgotten the rules of the military academy? You didn't eat!" Qin Yujing shouted immediately.

"Yes, sir!" Qin Huaicheng howled loudly.

Qin Yujing hummed and left quickly.

After Qin Yujing left, Qin Ning, who had been guarding the entrance of the ancestral hall for most of the night, walked in, saw his son's buttocks were bloody and bloody, and blamed him: "You child, what do you know as a student. You have your father, Uncle Li, and Uncle Pei in the war." They, it's your turn to talk."

Qin Huaicheng pouted, "Mother, the Tubo dog is so courageous. They send troops first and then ask for marriage. They are threatening!"

"What are you talking about? Go back to your room and give you some ointment for your mother, otherwise you won't be able to get out of bed for three to five days."

"Oh."

The imperial palace, the gate of the vertical arch hall.

Princess Luoyang Wunan, the emperor's most beloved eldest daughter, the school belle of Zhongdu Women's University, is wearing a military uniform at the moment, holding the hilt of her sword, looking firmly at the main hall, her wonderful eyes seem to be able to see the emperor in the arched palace .

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty asks you to go back first." Mai Congde persuaded in a low voice.

"No, I want to see my father!" Wu Nan pulled out the horizontal saber and stood there.

Want her to marry Tubo?
She would rather die!
How could the Huanghuang Heavenly Dynasty be able to make peace with the barbarians in the southwest!

Mai Congde pursed his lips, he didn't have the guts to refute the eldest princess.

"You wait, this servant will go in and report back to His Majesty."

After saying that, he hurried in.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxiao, the 27-year-old emperor who ascended the throne at the age of 34 and who has ruled the world for seven years, is standing in the center of the hall.

Under his feet, a huge map of Southwest and Longxi lay flat on the ground.

The plain white cotton socks stepped on the land of Tubo, his horizontal knife crossed Longxi, and turned back to the north to draw a circle.

The middle-aged emperor was full of energy, his face was still firm and green, as if he had never aged.

In the four corners of the hall, orange-red candles glowed from the huge candle holders, and the servants bowed and waited beside them.
