Ji Tang

Chapter 191 It turns out that he is very powerful!

"Get up! Don't talk about whether you will serve or not. Aren't you all serving the imperial court and the Tang Dynasty?" Ji Song patted his shoulder and smiled.

In fact, not only was Liu Zhan appointed this time, but Yao Chang, as one of Ji Song's main assistants, was also valued by the court. This time he was appointed as the director of the agriculture department, which was also an official position under the fifth rank.

The head of the Ninth Division was also promoted at the same time, suddenly becoming an official of the sixth rank, and was promoted a full three levels. This was only done once in the early days of the founding of the country due to a shortage of officials.

After Liu Zhan left, within half an hour, all the officials in Sinong Temple knew about his promotion.Everyone was smiling. Aren’t you working so hard just to get promoted?
However, this is not official news after all. Although everyone has no doubts about the strength of the Marquis, they still feel uneasy without receiving a formal appointment.

Three days later, when people from Menxia Province came, they completely let go of their worries.After all the hard work comes the joy, from last year to this year, it has been almost a year.

They eat and sleep in the open air, get up earlier than chickens, and go to bed later than dogs. Isn’t this just for this day?
The officials who first came to Sinong Temple were basically squeezed out. At that time, Sinong Temple had just been split up, and many people didn't know what they were doing.

There was only one item mentioned in the emperor's imperial edict about increasing the yield of several acres of land in Jing. Those who didn't know it thought it was for farming.

In this case, who is willing to come to Sinong Temple and suffer?
But since another imperial edict came down some time ago, everyone realized that they missed [-] strings. What does it mean to be in charge of the land affairs of Jingji Dao?
As long as you can intervene in matters related to farmland in Gyeonggi Province, you have great power.Among the people of the Tang Dynasty whose life was based on land, who didn’t deal with the fields?

Now the officials who had not come or were unwilling to go were filled with regret.This is holding a golden rice bowl and begging for food everywhere!

At the beginning, only a few big shots in the court had a vague idea of ​​how powerful this department would be in the future.They had already stuffed their own people in.

But the attitude is very clear, use this person if you can, you can't use me to replace him, but you must accept it.Of course, the original words will definitely not be like this, after all, everyone wants to face it.

But what he said was that there must be someone of mine in this. Ji Song knew that it was impossible for him to completely control this department.

It was fine in the early stage, no one knew its details and no one cared about it!
However, when all land cultivation matters across the country become the management scope of Sinong Temple, if Ji Song still dares to occupy such a position, he will probably become the target of public criticism.

Therefore, as long as someone sends someone in, Ji Song will take it all.However, as for whether you can pass the assessment, it depends on your own ability. This is the same for everyone.

Sinong Temple can have your people, but what I want is not trash, but people who can do things and do good things.

During this period, everyone was accustomed to Ji Song's way of doing things. Whenever someone in his family failed to pass the test, he would not cause trouble.Consciously take your family back and replace them with another one.

Because this is no loss to them, it's just a different person, it's no big deal, they can only blame their own family for not living up to expectations.

It's not that no one came to Ji Song to intercede, but they found that this good Marquis didn't seem to have many friends!So, a very strange thing happened. Even if I wanted to find someone to intercede, there was no matchmaking partner.

Everyone knows that Li Gang is Hao Jiehou's teacher.But who dares to go there? It’s like an old man eating arsenic and getting tired of living.

With Li Gang's upright temper, believe it or not, he could take his accuser into the palace as soon as he steps forward. This is not how he seeks death!
Further inquiries revealed that the Xie family was close to the Ji family, but he had gone to work elsewhere, so this clue was lost again.Princess Pingyang is the aunt of Hao Renhou. Everyone knows this. She almost demolished the Ministry of Industry because of her nephew's affairs. This shows that she attaches great importance to Hao Renhou.

But you have to get in to find this one. She is now the eldest princess of Pingyang in the Tang Dynasty. Apart from the Supreme Emperor and the Empress, this person has the most precious status. Why should she go to the Si Nongsi with such a relationship?

I don't know who found out that Wu'an County Duke Xue Wanche had a good relationship with Hao Jiehou, so he went to find him.Some even used their daughter's marriage to him as a bargaining chip to ask him to intercede.

But what shocked everyone was that the man was thrown out of the door by the Wu'an County Lord. He said that he wanted to hit my brother's attention, and he would just break his legs next time.

No one expected that this would happen, which completely stopped everyone from thinking about going through the back door, so they could only go and take the assessment obediently.

Through this incident, everyone realized how powerful the youngest prince of the Tang Dynasty was. Fortunately, he didn't come directly to him, otherwise even if his legs were broken, nothing would happen to him.

Look at the people they keep friends with.Li Gang, a great scholar in the world, a master-level figure who even the emperor would not dare to neglect; Princess Pingyang, the most noble princess of the Tang Dynasty and the most beloved daughter of the Supreme Emperor.

I heard that he was also related to Fang Xiang, Du Xiang, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others.Xue Wanche is the lowest level person, but to them, even Xue Wanche and the others cannot compare.

This makes many people very happy. It would have been unimaginable if it had happened at the beginning!
After Ji Song arranged things, he did not stay in Haorian County for long, but planned to go to Chang'an first.Things here have come to an end. Although the emperor asked him to make his own decision, whoever believes this is a fool.

Therefore, some things still need to be reported to the palace.

Returning to Chang'an, Ji Song found that there were very few idlers and refugees on the road.After asking, I found out that they were asked by the counties in Jingdao to open up wasteland.

It was already October. Ji Song had ignored him after handing in the drawings, and the court had given him no reward.Of course, Ji Song doesn't care about rewards or not.

After nearly a month of fermentation, everyone knew that the imperial court had two tools for farming, which more than tripled the usual farming speed.

This allowed the magistrates of several counties in Beijing, who were not originally very interested in land reclamation, to see another path to political success.

That’s right, it’s land reclamation!Originally, land reclamation was a thankless task, but with these two tools, land reclamation has become profitable.

Because the imperial court has decreed that as long as the land is obtained from land reclamation, half of it will be owned by the people who participated in the land reclamation, and the other half will be owned by the government, but it must be leased to the people who opened the land for farming. The government only collects land rent, but it cannot exceed [-]%.

It was this decree that made all the county magistrates go crazy.It should be because one of the decrees is aimed at officials in their government.It can also be said to be an incentive measure!
That is, for every [-] acres of land cleared, the government can freely allocate [-] acres of land without any cap.

No one could do anything anymore, so they began to recruit people everywhere to open up wasteland. As a result, there were no idlers in the entire Gyeonggi Province. Even the beggars were dragged away, and they promised to allocate land next year.
