The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 490

Li Ling applied both kindness and prestige, and the enclosure reform was carried out very smoothly.Recently, the envoys sent by Li Ling to various places to supervise the release of dignitaries have returned to Beijing one after another.

Li Yu was the envoy sent by Li Ling this time. After he returned to the capital, he took a quick look at the mansion and rushed to the imperial city to face the saint. Yu is a regular servant of the third rank, and Jiang Youchen is the official minister of the second rank. Both of them are ministers of the humerus in the court, and they are highly regarded by Li Ling.

The two came to the imperial study to meet the saint, and told Li Linghui about the inspection situation.

Li Yu has gone through the experience of being released, and after returning to Beijing, he married a beautiful wife. Now he is no longer as gloomy as he was when he was a teenager. With regard to the enclosure of land in Bashu and Jiangnan, after the policy of the DPRK and China was pushed down, the dignitaries in the south of the Yangtze River were very cooperative and released a lot of land. "

Li Ling nodded and said: "Bashu is far away from the middle of the capital, and the emperor is far away from the high mountains, so they are even more unconvinced."

Li Yu continued: "At first they were really uncooperative. Later, the imperial court issued a policy of releasing land for officials, and these people became more active. One thousand acres of fertile land can be exchanged for a seventh-rank official, and ten thousand acres of fertile land can be donated for nothing. Waiting for the title, hehe, these rich and powerful people are rich in wealth, and they are never tired of donating a future for their children who do not seek to make progress. There is an old magistrate in Bashu who released [-] mu of fertile land in one fell swoop for his children. They all donated a small official."

Li Ling sighed slightly and said: "The previous dynasty supported many corrupt officials. These individuals enriched their own pockets, and I don't know how much property they have embezzled from the state."

Jiang Youchen replied: "These people have tasted the sweetness of being an official, so they are willing to release a large amount of enclosures to donate officials to their descendants. I am afraid that the descendants raised by these people will not be successful. Let them be officials. Hurt one side of the people."

"Ah Chen has the same concerns as mine." He said with a slight smile: "The idea of ​​exchanging land and changing officials was thought up by the empress. Back then when my coercive order was blocked, the empress came up with such a method. She also has a lot of worries, but who knows that the queen is holding back, she said that after these dignitaries release their land, after a year or two, if they see that the children who bought officials are not up to date, they will find a reason to dismiss them That's it."

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, Li Yu on the side couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "Second sister-in-law, oh, it's the empress who is so smart."

When mentioning his wife, Li Ling showed complacency, he laughed twice, and said: "The queen's method really works, hehe, my queen is really smarter than those few veteran cabinet ministers."

Seeing Li Ling's praise of Jingshu, Jiang Youchen smiled slightly, and Li Yu followed suit: "Brother Huang will surely become a famous emperor through the ages if he has a virtuous wife like the emperor's wife."

Jiang Youchen and Li Yu are not only courtiers, but also Li Ling's close relatives, that's why Li Ling talked with them so easily. The monarch and his ministers joked a few words, and Li Ling asked Jiang Youchen again: "You go to the north to supervise, except for the enclosure situation, what else is there? How is the city defense at the border? Can you inquire about the situation in the grassland?"

Jiang Youchen hurriedly cupped his hands and replied: "This time, I went northward and reached the northern border. Now the defense of the northern border is strong enough to resist foreign invasion, but I heard that the Huns' old Chanyu was seriously ill, and the eldest prince Baha has now controlled the grassland. Some forces."

Li Ling frowned slightly when he heard the words, and replied: "At the beginning, I used the plan of alienation to turn their father and son against each other. I thought it would make them fight among themselves for ten or eight years, but it took only a few years. I can't hold it any longer, that Bach is a wolf with ambition, and has been eyeing the Central Plains, he is a tough one."

Jiang Youchen suggested: "The minister thinks that before Baha has unified the grassland, we can take advantage of the situation and catch him by surprise and disrupt the situation of Baha's domination of the grassland."

Li Ling nodded and said: "I have always had this plan, but I have been delaying it because of the huge loss of national power in the past few years of fighting. Now that the old Shanyu can't suppress Nabaha, I have to make another plan. "Referring to the situation in northern Xinjiang, Li Lingxin said: "In this martial arts, the young people selected are all capable talents, and one of them is named Pei Yunqian. I plan to release him and several young military officers. Go to northern Xinjiang to practice for a while, in preparation for war."

Jiang Youchen said: "Your Majesty can't go wrong with the person whom His Majesty likes. In the past, culture was valued over martial arts. Now is the time when there is a shortage of generals. After these young people have experienced, they will all be people who can be reused in the future."

After the monarchs and ministers discussed the state affairs, Li Yu just left the Palace of Qinzheng, when he happened to meet Jing Shu.

Li Yu saluted Jing Shu respectfully, Jing Shu smiled and asked Li Yu, "You just came back from outside, have you ever returned home?"

Li Yu replied: "I went back, but I just saw Xuan'er in a hurry and rushed to the palace to face the saint."

Jing Shu smiled and said, "Then I'm afraid Xuan'er hasn't had time to tell you the good news."

Li Yu knew what Jing Shu meant when he heard the words, he smiled brightly: "Sister-in-law Huang really misunderstood Xuan Er, as soon as I stepped into the house, she ran over and couldn't wait to tell me."

"This child is still so impatient." As she said that, Jing Shu looked at Li Yu and instructed, "Xuan'er is pregnant now, and you are back too. She is used to her life, so you need to mention her more."

The reason why Li Yu is so happy today is also because his beautiful wife is pregnant. After hearing Jing Shu's words, she scratched her head helplessly, and then said happily: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I plan to go to the hospital first." Invite some experienced nuns to come, I will follow and learn, this is our first child, to be honest, I am also a little at a loss."

Jing Shu looked at Li Yu's happy smile, she smiled and said: "I have prepared everything here for you." Then, she introduced the two nuns beside her to Li Yudao: "These two nuns take care of pregnant women. He is the best at it, and you can bring it back to Xuan'er."

Li Yu hurriedly saluted Jing Shu, "Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law."

Jingshu replied: "Xuan'er is my younger sister, I should take care of her. As an older sister, I am very pleased to see the love between your husband and wife."

Li Yu used to be taken care of by Jing Shu when he was young in the public house, and now he is married to Jing Shu's younger sister. Although Shen Jingxuan is not very outstanding in appearance, she is a straightforward and lovely girl. Li Yu likes Shen Jingxuan, and has With his respected elder sister-in-law, he would naturally treat his wife wholeheartedly.

He looked at Jing Shu, cupped his hands again and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Xuan'er treats me with sincerity, and I will definitely not let her down in this life."
