Chapter 292: News of this year's flowering period is set

"See Your Majesty," Pei Yan bowed and bowed behind the curtain: "See Your Majesty."

In order to make the name of the Qing Dynasty, ministers usually deliberately neglect the person behind the curtain, but Pei Yan did not. His expression was natural and graceful and generous. However, in terms of demeanor, there seemed to be few people in the court who could match. This time he was summoned from Jiangnan and was immediately reused. He was promoted to the Huangmen Assistant Minister, which was the Jinshi, who looked down on Huangmen as the second chief of the Menxia Province. The three provinces of the Tang Dynasty, the Minister of the Central Secretariat decided, the Minister of the Jung-secrets deliberated, the Minister of the Minister of the Minister of the Affairs Office, and the Prime Minister discussed affairs. The Political Affairs Hall of the Prime Minister was in the Menxia Province. As the Minister of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the Minister of the Central Secretariat had more real power than the Minister of the Six Ministry. In fact, in a sense, the Huangmen Assistant Minister's power was not much weaker than the Prime Minister.

Of course, he also made contributions. In recent years, he managed the imperial court and earned millions of dollars. He enforced the law and dealt with Zhiping. At first, merchants complained about his confiscation. After a few years, he saw his fairness and complained about it. This is political achievements. Besides, the national treasury was dried up. Although he had been harvesting for many years, he would have fought against Silla in the east and fought to the death with Tubo in the west. Without Pei Yan, the national treasury would not be so abundant. As for Liang and Lu, they all forgot their great achievements. Could it be that they would have let two merchants become the ministers of the Yellow Sect?

Some people think more deeply, which is the emperor's way of balance. After the matter of the prince, the prime ministers and important bosses in the court made the emperor uneasy. However, there is an irreparable contradiction between the prince and Pei Yan. This is a constraint and balance on the court.

Or if you think more deeply, it would be a big deal. If you see that you are not, you will go against the prince and get promoted immediately and get rich, and you will get promoted quickly.

As soon as Pei Yan returned to Luoyang, he asked Li Zhi and Wu Zetian to meet him.

Seeing his demeanor, Li Zhi was also very satisfied. He was worthy of being a disciple of the Pei family in Hedong. He raised his hand and said, "Pei Qing, please sit down."

Pei Yan sat down generously, and Li Zhi began to talk about state affairs with Pei Yan. The country was still stable, mainly on the border, and Silla was always restless. Asking for peace, Li Jinxing withdrew his army, at the request of Liu Rengui, he ordered Li Jin to act as the ambassador of Jishidao to guard Guzhou, and the two states of Shangu were formed into a horn. Hearing that the Tang Dynasty army withdrew, Li Jinxing, the Silla, harmed Qinghai, and the Silla people began to embezzle Baekje again.

The Silla talents truly found out the weaknesses of the Tang Dynasty. Due to the military system, it is not easy to launch a large army every time, and it takes a long time to prepare before the army can be summoned. Even if most of the people led by Li Jinxing were from the Marines, it would be very difficult to collect. As long as the Tang Dynasty's army was launched, please avoid it, and the other time continued to expand, the Tang Dynasty had few troops stationed, and could not stop it. Either they would spare manpower and material resources to compete with Silla, but there were also the restraint of the Tubo people, and the Tang Dynasty was hesitant. This became the fatal point of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi had no choice but to discuss with his ministers. In this bitter place, these little selves fought desperately. The Tang Dynasty spent a lot of money every year and sacrificed countless warriors. However, the occupied Baekje and the people of the *** were unwilling to rule the Tang Dynasty. So he thought about it and sent back King Gaozang and King Fuyulong of Baekje. It was not a solution. You don’t recognize the rule of our Tang Dynasty. If your king returns, you should recognize their rule.

Then let them fight with themselves, and prevent Silla from being the only one. Moreover, the destruction of *** and Baekje was done by Silla and the Tang Dynasty coalition forces. Both sides had fought for many years and had deep hatreds. In this way, the Tang Dynasty calmly retreated, or looked at someone who liked him and sent some army to help him. Without much military force, they would control the entire territory of *** and Silla.

The idea was very good. The land of Baekje was originally the entire income of the Tang Dynasty. Up to now, many people were unwilling to be managed by the Tang Dynasty. They fled to Silla and became a wasteland. The rest of Silla was annexed a lot, and there was very little territory left. Fuyulong did not dare to return to the former capital of Baekje, so he had to settle him in the new city of Anton Protectorate, enfeoffed King Fang, and took over the governor of Xiongjin from afar, and appeased the rest of Baekje.

He also asked Gao Zang, the Minister of Works, to be the governor of Liaodong Prefecture and the King of Korea, to be sent back to Liaodong. Gao Zang had met with Li Wei several times, but this Secretary was a fake position, and the ministers did not really take it seriously. He asked him to appease the rest of the people in Liaodong and relocate all the Goguryeo expatriates. After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the ***, the people resisted fiercely. In a rage, Li Zhi moved the people to the mainland many times, reaching 400,000. There are still more than 100,000 households in Liaodong, and returning the expatriates is a helpless move, otherwise they would not be able to deal with the Silla people.

But when these expatriates arrived, Gao Zang became restless. He was in Xincheng with Fuyulong, secretly contacting the people of the Marines and intends to rebel. In fact, the Tang Dynasty also guarded against it and did not let Gao Zang go to the Andong Protectorate (Pyongyang), but built a new city in the rear, for fear that he would do this. In desperation, he had to recall him and prepare to flow the disobedient *** king to Qiongzhou to resettle. In this way, the plan of the three countries to balance the Korean Peninsula was once again broken

.(Han Shi fantasized that Xue Rengui was defeated by Silla in this year. After careful investigation, it was impossible. After Xue returned to the court, he was appointed to guard Guazhou. There was no other record of sending troops. Perhaps a certain Mohe sent troops privately, and even the defeat of Dafeichuan was recorded. How could it not be recorded if there were any? Many historians really regarded Han history as real history. Is the history of *** credible? Fortunately, the research and investigation almost deceived me)

Speaking of this matter, Pei Yan said seriously: "Your Majesty, you are wrong, you have turned the root of the matter upside down."

This sentence came out abruptly, and Li Zhiqi said: "How to explain it."

"Silla is located in a cold place overseas. It is useless to get it, and it is useless to lose it. The same is true for Tubo, as long as it is not allowed to harass the people on the border, it is already there. This is the end. The country is the foundation of the court. Nowadays, the two sages are in charge of the rule, the country is rich and the people are peaceful, but there is only one place that is not beautiful."

"where?"

"Your Majesty is kind, the Empress is wise, and the Crown Prince has done this. This is a sign of revival in this country that has never been seen in the ages. But I dare to say that it was originally a national cause, but now I am in Jiangnan, but I have heard that the court is in constant turmoil. Why?"

Li Zhi didn't say anything. His son was very disgusted with Pei Yan. Did Pei Yan not care about it, but instead became a lobbyist for his son?

"Your Majesty has heard of the Crown Prince Zaipai in Puzhou. Although the crown prince occasionally acted impulsively because of his young age, he was kind and filial. The reason for all kinds of disturbances is that the crown prince is getting older and His Majesty is prospering for national affairs and is occasionally suffering, so the underlings disagree. The superiors mean to seize the lower, and misunderstandings arise."

Li Zhi didn't say anything, but this sentence made him very approve of it. My son was not like this when he was young. In recent years, it was like a different person. It is hard not to say that there is no "credit" from Di Renjie and others.

"A family is harmonious and everything will prosper. The family of the emperor is the country. How can the emperor's family be harmonious? The Western Jin Dynasty mixed the universe and unified the eight wildernesses. After only a few decades, it collapsed and fled to the south of the Yangtze River and lived in a corner. Why? The rebellion of the Eight Kings is the main reason."

Li Zhi did not make any statement. Li Ji and Xu Jingzong once said that this was the family affairs of the emperor, so why should we ask outsiders? So we had to make Wu Zetian the queen. But now Pei Yan said that the family affairs of the emperor were state affairs and the world affairs. He still did not understand Pei Yan's intention.

"I think this commotion will stop immediately. The two emperors will continue to preside over the state affairs, and the prince will assist in learning and observing from the side. This is the foundation of the country."

This sentence is very heartfelt by Li Zhi. As for the country, it must be in charge. Although his son is old, he is still young and can only continue to study and be a good student. He said, "But...ah...it's hard to describe..."

"Your Majesty, there is no difficulty in the world. For example, untied the rope, found the knot, and untied it calmly. At that time, the young lady of the Yang family was originally the candidate for the Crown Princess, but she was relieved by the two lords. This woman was as beautiful as a flower, and the crown prince valued love and trustworthiness. Later, she was kind and wanted to help the crown prince do better because of all kinds, including ministers, and wrote a letter to advise. Also, Yang Weiqing and Xu Sheren made mistakes, demoted Lingnan, and died in discomfort. This was not wrong, but there were many criticisms, so the crown prince asked the two daughters to go to Yangzhou to avoid words. He felt depressed and would have it."

Li Zhi was not bad at all. He couldn't tell whether Pei Yan was speaking for his son or talking indifferently. Speaking good words means being affectionate and not saying good words, the prince was greedy for beauty.

"Great Emperor, Emperor Taizong and Your Majesty were already in the age of Prince, and they had many sons and daughters. The prince had only one son, and it was not a blessing for the country. I have also heard of it in Yangzhou. The two young ladies of the Yang family and the Xu family lived in a simple and easy way after they arrived in Yangzhou, and they were still responsible. They were also a family of officials, and they were better from Jiang Liangyuan of the Eastern Palace. It would be better to be transferred to the Eastern Palace and serve the Prince. The prince must be grateful to His Majesty for his misunderstanding. Only when the two emperors and the Prince had no misunderstandings, the country would be peaceful and the ministers would be stable. Although it was a small matter, it was far more important than the matter of Silla."

Li Zhi didn't think about whether this was the case. He just stared at Pei Yan, thinking about the intention of his words.

Of course, what I worry most is that Pei Yan will "turn against him".

Pei Yan said again: "The Tian family will prosper peacefully, and the country will prosper. As long as the country is prosperous, don't talk about the small Silla, and it's not afraid of Tubo. Please think twice."

...

Li Wei didn't know that as soon as Pei Yan entered the palace, he really made suggestions for him and asked several girls to enter the East Palace.

But he also wanted to return to Luoyang. Before leaving, he called several accompanying officials to Longju Village to gather and asked: "Everyone, are there any boots ready?"

Wei Xuantong said: "I have sent someone to prepare, but..."

Unexpected situations made the construction of the new channel difficult, mainly because it was wet and was also constructed in winter. Therefore, according to last year's example, medicinal materials were prepared in advance, and one person had a cotton coat and a quilt to warm the body. There were also shoes, which were commonly cloth shoes, or straw sandals. Only wealthy families were willing to wear boots. Last winter, Li Wei saw that many civilians wrapped socks and worked in straw sandals. But this year, they were mostly in wetlands, which was obviously not possible. It is best to use rubber boots to prevent moisture, but now there are no rubber trees on the South China Sea islands, and even if they have one, Li Wei didn't know how to extract rubber. Therefore, he had to buy a large amount of leather and make boots, which is not a good way. This kind of boots became soft when soaked in water, but it was better than not. It was just expensive. Although cotton was a little cheaper, it undoubtedly increased a lot of costs.

Wei Xuantong was also a Qing minister, and when he heard about the prince's various actions, he was a little reluctant to let him go.

Looking at the green mountains and clear waters in the distance, Li Wei said: "Dragon Clan Wei, since the people who came to recruit the service are all poor people. Otherwise, their lives will be heavy and their lives will be dangerous, but their treatment is poor. Who would like to come? If you get it to the people and return it to the people, you should regard it as a relief. You have also done practical things..."

"yes."

Yao Shuo looked at Longju Village not far away. The river canal has not yet been built here, but many people have already flown to build houses here and said, "Your Highness, once it is natural, this place will become a prosperous place."

"That's inevitable."

"And once this can be completed, Guanzhong will be guaranteed." When Yao Feng said this, he was a little excited. Although he was the prince's presidency, he also made many achievements after he succeeded.

"It's best not to use it. If it is used for business trips, it will help the people on both sides of the river and canal. But if the imperial court uses it to requisition food, it will not be the Yellow River, and the tonnage of the ship is small. If the large amount of grain is transported, the river and the canal are busy, transporting and fibre, it will all require the burden of the people here. It is not like the Grand Canal, which is thousands of miles away, and the people on both sides are dense. There are many mountains here and the number of people is small. Once a large amount of grain and silk is transferred from now on, it will be a disaster for the people here, not a blessing."

"Yes," Yao Shun replied seriously immediately. Then he said, "Yes, better than none."

One thing can be seen that the summer grains in Jiangnan have been transferred to Chang'an. This time, the ship recruitment was relatively smooth. In the past, it was not a wealthy family who was unkind. From Yangzhou to Chang'an, there were many dangerous sections, causing a large number of ships to sink. The grain loss rate was nearly 20%, which was heavy. Even officials even had to let the ship workers drowned on the ship bear the burden on themselves. After the past two years of reform, first gathered manpower and improved the ship technology, the cost would be higher, but the accident rate was reduced. The second is that the three doors of the dangers were not lifted and could be alleviated. The Guangtong Channel was opened, so there was no need to navigate from the Wei River, which had a difficult trip, and the accident rate was reduced. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the rich family increased slightly this year.

There were also talented people in the court. Seeing this, someone advised him that during the original sectional voyage, he organized dozens of ships to organize the organization, and sent troops to escort along the way, and the efficiency was immediately improved. It turned out that due to various unfavorable factors, it might take the first half of a year to arrive from Yangzhou to Chang'an, or the wealthy family themselves were working in the United States. This time, it took only two and a half months to arrive, and the fastest one took only fifty days. There were also sunken ships, which were reduced by half compared to previous years, and the food loss rate was reduced by nearly ten percent. This alone saved tens of thousands of taxes for the country in a year, and the people also called it a convenience.

If it weren't for Li Zhi's feelings, the officials might have raised their hands to celebrate.

"I can only say that, everyone, I'll leave it to you." As he said that, Li Wei went on horseback and returned to Luoyang. He didn't hear what Pei Yan said, but he learned that Pei Yan was the Minister of the Yellow Sect. He thought to himself that Di Renjie said a year, and it was only a few months before. Did his father or mother have any other thoughts?

While rushing to the ground, Pei Yan gave him a stick before he arrived in Luoyang.
