The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 330 Wu Shu's Conspiracy

Hearing his last words, Chen Jingke laughed, and complained in his heart: It's really mud that can't support the wall.

Either you don't say anything, or you apologize sincerely, what is this kind of like being stepped on by someone's tail?
However, the IQ he showed is completely in line with his previous behavior.This kind of person never finds reasons on himself, and only blames others.

In layman's terms, treat yourself leniently and discipline others strictly.

At this moment, Jing Hengyan came in from the outside and said, "Captain, how is that boy, did he make you unhappy?"

Chen Jingke smiled and waved to him.

Jing Hengyan leaned over cautiously, and said, "Captain, what are your orders?"

Chen Jingke raised his leg and kicked it, Jing Hengyan turned sideways quickly.But instead of dodging, he caught the kick with his thick butt.

"Asshole, is this what you mean by being human? In your eyes, the standard of being a human being is already so low?"

Jing Hengyan scolded Wu Yuanshuang in his heart, but he said with aggrieved face: "Captain, you can't blame me entirely, he is your second brother-in-law no matter what, do I dare to offend him to death?" .”

Chen Jingke also understands his difficulties, and his in-laws cannot take them lightly at any time.Wu Zetian hated Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang so much, but when she took power, it was their two sons who she trusted most.

It is really embarrassing for Jing Hengyan to teach Wu Yuanshuang a lesson.If the lesson is too serious, what if you are retaliated against in the future, and if the lesson is too light, you will be blamed by Chen Jingke.

Thinking of this, Chen Jingke thought for a while and said: "I will go to my mother in a few days, so that he can only be a white body in this life, dare to bar my teeth and I will kill him... Now you know what to do?"

Jing Hengyan was also taken aback by the murderous words, but he also fully understood his determination, and immediately said: "Don't worry, I understand."

Chen Jingke said: "Go, teach him well, and I will get him away after a while."

Afterwards, Chen Jingke returned to the Taoist temple, told Wu Shu about Wu Yuanshuang's situation, and also talked about his follow-up methods by the way.

Wu Shu said resentfully: "Being like a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions, this bastard really pissed me off."

Chen Jingke smiled inwardly, but he could understand her mood, and comforted him: "There is no need to be angry with this kind of person, let him suffer more, and find a chance to drive him out of the capital out of sight."

Wu Shu nodded, but then he said worriedly: "Will the empress blame me for being too petty, that I can't even tolerate my elder brother?"

Chen Jingke shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my aunt hates everyone more than anyone else. Do you think she doesn't want to take revenge? No, she just doesn't want people to attack the saint with this."

"The two of us don't want to be perfect, so we can do whatever we want, don't worry. Besides, we don't want his life. It's very tolerant to let him be a white body for the rest of his life."

Wu Shu finally stopped hesitating and said, "Okay, I will trouble you with this matter."

Chen Jingke smiled and said, "What are you and I doing so politely, you should."

Wu Shu smiled gratefully, then turned cold, and said, "There are also these two animals, Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun, I can't spare them."

Chen Jingke also took it seriously and said: "Speaking of which, they are the culprits. It is true that they cannot be spared just like this. Have you thought of a way to deal with them?"

Wu Shu showed a disdainful smile, and said confidently: "No, I'll write a letter to my eldest brother, I believe he will know what to do."

Chen Jingke was a little puzzled, Wu Yuanqing?He listened to you to clean up these two cousins?
But after he read Wu Shu's letter, he finally figured out what was wrong with it. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Tall, Sister Wu is taller."

Wu Shu also put on a smug look, and said: "If Wu Yuanshuang writes another letter about what happened to him, it will get twice the result with half the effort."

Chen Jingke immediately said: "Don't worry, you can have as many letters as you want."

The content of Wu Shu's letter is not complicated, it just tells Wu Yuanshuang the cause and effect of the mother and daughter.

It's just that the wording is a little bit off, focusing on Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun, slightly exaggerating their role in it.

Coupled with Wu Yuanshuang's letter complaining, it was telling him clearly that if these two people were dealt with, the worse they were, the less Wu Yuanshuang would suffer.

Given Wu Yuanqing's feelings for his own brother, it's not hard to imagine what he would do.

Moreover, there are so many things happening in the family that are directly related to Wu Weiliang and Wu Weiliang. It is impossible to say that Wu Yuanqing has no opinion on them.

Due to the combination of various reasons, I believe he will entertain the two cousins ​​well.

And even if someone pursued it afterwards, it was Wu Yuanqing who cleaned up the house himself, and it had nothing to do with Wu Shu.

From the beginning to the end, she only wrote a letter telling what happened, and she didn't mention revenge or anything like that.

As for Wu Yuanshuang's punishment in the army, it was because he violated the discipline of the army. We can't be special, and we must be punished if we deserve it.

Besides, she is a weak woman, and she doesn't have the ability to take care of the emperor's personal guard.

Thinking of this, Chen Jingke couldn't help but sigh with emotion: As expected, he was worthy of being a queen in his previous life. This little trick is really tricky. Anyway, even if he was killed, he would never think that he could do this.

But immediately he thought proudly: No matter how clever you are, don't you still want to warm my bed, hehe.

……

After the smallpox vaccination work was carried out steadily, the imperial court launched a series of major actions.

The first is to set up a enfeoffment team, headed by Changsun Wuji, who is responsible for formulating a complete set of enfeoffment laws, etiquette for princes and kings, the number of honorable fiefdoms for each level, and so on.

As for who should be banned first and who should be banned later, these are only private exchanges for the time being, and it is not time to discuss them on the table.

At least until the Enclosure Act is finalized, these things will not be considered.

But even so, things have come to this point, and the nobles are finally relieved and begin to fulfill their obligations.

With their full help, the education and government system and the imperial examination system were restarted again and advanced at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, land clearing and people's resettlement work were also carried out.

Last year, more than 1000 million people were identified, and land should be allocated to them in accordance with the land equalization system.The land in the Central Plains is definitely not enough, even if all the hidden land is found out, it is not enough.

There is a large area of ​​wasteland that can be reclaimed.

But in the absence of large machinery and fertilizers, the newly reclaimed wasteland will not see any harvest for three to two years.

But Li Shimin and his ministers couldn't be bothered to immigrate.

Chen Jingke is naturally inclined to emigrate, and he has more specific goals, so he ran to the palace to find Li Shimin:

"The Yangtze River Basin has been developed since the time of Sun Wu, and a large number of Han people migrated to the south of Yongjia to settle down. After that, after hundreds of developments, it gradually became prosperous."

"However, the land here is still sparsely populated, and a group of people can be migrated to settle down. By the way, some of the aliens who have migrated and surrendered will live with Han people and marry and educate..."

"Gong Guogong presented the map of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Five Ridges and the yellow book of the people, so that some people can be migrated here. Such intermarriages can spread Chinese culture, and enlightenment can be completed within 20 years."

"The land in the south is fertile and water-rich, and it is most suitable for growing rice... I don't mention the high yield of rice, but you know that once the south is developed, there will be no food shortage in the world."

"My evaluation of this place is just one sentence: Huguang is familiar, and the world is full."

Li Shimin couldn't help being attracted by the big cakes he painted, mainly because of his sentence that rice yields high.

For the [-] rice seeds provided by Chen Jingke, Li Shimin planted them in the most fertile paddy fields, and hired the most experienced farmers to take care of them, and planted a total of four acres.

The yield per mu has reached more than 470 catties. This Tang Dynasty can be said to be a miracle.

Even if the large-scale promotion in the later period reduces the yield, as long as there is a yield of [-] catties per mu, it will be [-] catties higher than the normal grain output.

One mu of land is [-] catties high, and tens of millions of mu of paddy fields across the country is an astronomical figure.

If the south is really developed, at least two crops of rice can be planted every year in the climate there... Anyway, Li Shimin dare not think about it anymore.

So it's not that he was fooled by the big pie painted by Chen Jingke, but that there are indeed good seeds, and he can't believe it.

However, he remained sober and rational, and said, "It is indeed a good idea to move people here, but what about miasma and insect diseases? As far as I know, schistosomiasis is common in the Yangtze River Basin, especially near Dongting Lake. "

Chen Jingke said: "Schistosomiasis is indeed a big problem, and the prevention and control methods have been given in the epidemic prevention manual written by Master."

"I won't talk about drinking boiled water. This method can only play a certain role and cannot cure them. And there are only thieves for a thousand days. There is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. It is best to find a way to eliminate them."

Li Shimin asked: "Do you have a solution?"

Chen Jingke nodded and said: "There is no smart way, but there is a stupid way...and this stupid way can be said to be the only way."

Seeing that his old habit of going around in circles was repeated, Li Shimin clenched his fists back and forth angrily, but he was concerned about his image and finally let go, and asked:

"any solution?"

Chen Jing didn't know that he was almost beaten, so he replied: "The intermediate host of the schistosomiasis is the snail, mobilize the power of the whole south to kill the snail, it must be burned..."

"In areas where the infection is more serious, the big river will kill the snails and gradually improve. The small river will directly level the river and dig a new one, so that it can be done once and for all..."

This method was used in New China in the previous life, and it took nearly ten years to completely cure schistosomiasis. This "stupid method" is also considered the only way.

The point is that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China was poor and white, and there were no mechanized tools, all of which were done manually.

So it is not impossible to do it in the Tang Dynasty.

And don't underestimate the mobilization power of ancient times. The imperial court's strict control over the people is beyond the imagination of modern people.

People always say that the imperial power in ancient times did not go down to the county, but this view is not accurate.

Under normal circumstances, the imperial court's rule over the grassroots is very deep, at least in terms of the system, it directly controls the village level.

Take the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties as an example, the number of rural cadres is jaw-dropping.

Officials in the township include the township miser, the township assistant, the township sanlao, the township cadre, the township secretary, Youjiao, Lizheng, Lixu, Liwei, Likui, Lizhizhong, Lifulao, Lijiu, Lijizun , Li Changshi, President, Pavilion Chief, Drum History, etc.

There are also cadres at the village group level such as neighborhood leaders and corporal leaders.

Among them, the three elders in the township and the elders in the village may make people mistakenly think that they are the elders of the family when looking at their names. In fact, this is not the case. They are the names of administrative positions in the country.

Just like the chief executive of a county is called the county magistrate, the three elders of the township and the elders of the village are just names, and the person who holds this position is probably a young man in his twenties.

The reason why everyone has such a misunderstanding stems from another larger misunderstanding of knowledge.

We habitually think that Chinese villages have been gathered on the basis of blood relationship and surname since ancient times, but in fact this is not the case at all.

In other words, the history of forming villages with surnames and blood ties is not as long as we imagined.

According to archaeological data, before the Song Dynasty, the country strictly prohibited people from living together on a large scale based on blood relationship and surname.

Aristocrats of aristocratic families can collectively live in the same vast area, but ordinary people cannot. The reason is that they are afraid that the grouping of the people will not be conducive to the rule.

Whether it is the imperial court or the local aristocrats, the interests are the same on this point.

For their own rule, they will artificially adjust the living places of the people, and disperse some large families and arrange them in different villages.

A village of one hundred or ten households often has more than a dozen or twenty different surnames.

According to the records of "Hanshu Shihuozhi", the village at that time was surrounded by walls.

People go out to work and stop working together, and the village cadres, the neighbors, Li Xu and others, sit at the door to supervise the people.

Check in the morning to see if anyone hasn't gone out to work, and in the evening to see who hasn't come back.And when you come back from a day's work, you can't come back empty-handed, you have to chop some firewood and come back.

In winter, the common people can't be idle. The workload of women's weaving in one month is equivalent to the workload of 45 days in the busy farming period, and they also need to exchange technical experience with each other.

Do you find this system familiar?Don't get me wrong, this is not a collective system, but the state's supervision of the countryside to the point of expressing its position.

Ordinary people are not prisoners, and the fields are their own. It stands to reason that I can do whatever I want, and I can rest at home for a day if I don’t want to.

But no, it’s not up to you whether you want to work or not, it’s up to the country.

Want to go shopping?Wait, there are more people shopping.Village cadres are also required to issue certificates, otherwise they will be easily arrested as exiles.

According to the unearthed Dunhuang documents, until the end of the Tang Dynasty, Chinese villages still lived with mixed surnames.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that due to the improvement of productivity, production relations changed, and commerce gradually developed, and the country's personal confinement of the people was gradually loosened.

The people have relative freedom and can move freely in the nearby villages and towns, instead of being supervised and restrained as before.

With the popularization of academies, the number of knowledge flowing to private scholars has increased.Scholars need to study abroad, which further promotes the country's loosening of personal confinement.

Productivity has improved and more land has been reclaimed. The family-based production model has gradually become the mainstream, and the state no longer forcibly breaks up families.

Slowly, villages and towns formed by the same surname or blood relationship emerged.

However, the court's control over the people has not diminished at all.For example, the Baojia system was a village group structure reset after the Song Dynasty in order to adapt to the rural conditions at that time.

Several households are jointly guaranteed, and one family is punished for making mistakes. In this way, the common people can supervise each other.

Even so, it was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that villages formed by the same surname or blood relationship were common.

The above-mentioned misunderstandings of knowledge were only formed in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

The reason is also very simple. People at that time lacked understanding of history, and many things could only be inferred based on the social status quo in the late Qing Dynasty, which inevitably led to fallacies.

Later, when the country became prosperous and powerful, it was able to conduct scientific research on ancient history, coupled with the excavation of a large number of ancient books, it restored the real situation in ancient times.

Now it is the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court is very strong, and its control over the local area is very strict.It has the ability to mobilize non-governmental forces to carry out large-scale schistosomiasis eradication operations.
