Chapter 39: The dark blue sky

A storm gathered in the court and dispersed bizarrely in an instant. Many updates came from

A more strange news came from the Zheng family in Xingyang. Several families in Xingyang issued an order to the children in the family almost at the same time. The lives of ordinary people are not easy, and land is the foundation of their survival. Therefore, all children in the family are ordered not to annex the fields.

These large Mén family have a lot of children, so they own a lot of land, such as the Zheng family in Xingyang that has a land of tens of thousands of hectares. How many military farms have been cultivated in Qinghai? It is not on the territory of Xingyang, and there is not so much land for them to swallow. Some are in the south of the Shannan, some are in the Huaihe River, and some are far away in the south of the Yangtze River. They are all assigned to operate them.

But in general, it is not an exaggeration to spread the people per capita. How many members of the Zheng family have from Xingyang to all parts of the country? On the contrary, some emerging aristocrats and common landlords have become more serious. For example, Zou Fengchi personally owns thousands of hectares of land. Wu Chengsi's rewards from the court, and the mischief in charge of various places, owns more than one thousand hectares of land.

However, many people pay attention to every move of these major families. What does the Zheng family in Xingyang mean this time?

Then it made people suddenly realize.

Li Wei was also watching.

What you say doesn't have to do it.

The Zheng family immediately gave a reward and sent more than a dozen doctors from the Imperial College to the Zheng family in Xingyang to collect some rare books and copy them. This was not a reward. Li Zhi then stood up and issued an edict, which was a merit. Li Zhi immediately "embezzled" the achievements of his son. The edict praised the Zheng family's long history and rigorous family style, and said a lot of praise. Then, in order to commend, the thirty children of the Zheng family entered the Imperial College to study.

The big head is behind. If you want to make money, you must increase the various workshop industries and sail. The Zheng family has already owned a fleet in the name of others and got a lot of benefits. This is also an important reason for establishing an agreement with Li Weineng.

However, Li Wei had already sent a message to contact several major families, and forced the emperor to release the quota of the sea again. Not only the quota, but also various policies must be relaxed, including the number of people going to sea. If the people go out to sea, there is no way to reclaim overseas colonies. The latter is very difficult, including local indigenous people, unfamiliar terrain, hot climate, various poisons, and lush tropical rainforests. But there are many benefits, especially families like them, which have many resources and many craftsmen. When they go overseas, as long as they are developed, various industries can be put into place. Of course, they cannot be said, just know what they know. The cunning rabbit has three holes, and has a vast territory overseas, which is also a cave.

Li Wei could not issue an edict on his own initiative, but several major families were forced to do so, otherwise they would not be polite. There is no need to say this explicitly.

But it surprised everyone. I thought that the new emperor went to Xingyang and stayed in the Zheng family in Xingyang for several days, and they were all thinking about it. Something happened in the middle. The Zheng family married Liang Jinzhu, and they had a lot of money and various property amounted to ten thousand yuan. Liang Jinzhu spent a lot of money to marry the Zheng family, a illegitimate son.

After hearing this, Li Wei didn't say anything for a long time. Ten thousand yuan, what is this concept? The best fertile land can be bought for five or six hundred acres, the best part can be bought for five or six hundred, and the best pink heads are like Di Hui and Di, who can buy several of them back. The largest sea boat can be built for seven or eight. It turns into gold. Today, when the gold price is a little cheap, it can be exchanged for nearly two thousand taels of gold. When Tubo asked for marriage, the wealth gift was to offer 5,000 taels of gold and cherish hundreds of treasures, which means that it is almost half of the national hiring gift.

When the Zheng family in Xingyang saw the betrothal gift, they shyly agreed. However, they did something, asking the other local elder named Pan to take the name of Yi NV and changed the surname Pan to make a marriage in a very low-key manner. Although the Pan family is the surname of Wang in Xingyang and the relatives are reluctant, they are far from the level of the Zheng family. Under the Zheng family's power, they have to agree.

Li Wei was so angry that he was amused and laughed. In order to make up for his life, he specially asked Liang Jinzhu to "donate" 20,000 yuan to the court in the name of Liang Jinzhu, and then asked his father to ask for the title of baron for Liang Jinzhu's youngest son. He was the baron of the empire, not a businessman. But the Zheng family in Xingyang was ashamed from top to bottom. Even the humblest distant children were unwilling to talk about this matter.

And in order to appease the family's dissatisfaction, the Zheng family in Xingyang did another thing.

Your Majesty, our Zheng family has set an example, actively cooperated with you, stopped the annexation of the land, and married Liang Jinzhu. Regardless of whether it was used or not, this concubine's son actually got married with Liang Jinzhu's family and would get married soon. But you also want to give us a perfect answer.

So he sent his children to study at the Imperial College and sent Zheng Gongchu to Luoyang. This is also a statement. The educational environment in the Imperial College may not be comparable to the educational environment within the Zheng family. However, if he was selected from the Imperial College, he could easily pass the imperial examination and enter the court as an official. I would like to ask, the Zheng family may still be the best group of children in the Zheng family. Can they pass the Imperial College? Can they pass the imperial examination? Seeing the list of the Zheng family's children, the examiner will take the initiative to play a role. It will also bring some benefits to the Zheng family. Once the thirty children pass the Jinshi exam, dozens of Zheng family members will be officials in the court in the future.

As an official, the Zheng family doesn’t care much about it, mainly because they are connected to each other. If they don’t connect to each other, they are always worried.

This jiāo is not known to outsiders. When they heard that the Zheng family's children entered Luoyang. Luoyang was sensational, the most anxious thing was the unmarried boudoir. The eagerness to wait and miss it day and night made Li Wei sweat again. In almost a few days, all the information of the thirty Zheng family's children, including age, whether they have gotten married or engaged, appearance, talent, what relatives are there in the family, and other gossips are flying in Luoyang. No one compiled the information of these thirty people into a booklet, otherwise a piece of money and a book could be robbed.

Li Wei thought of something. The Southern and Northern Dynasties still valued the Mén family. Every time they visited each other, they chose famous scholars with the best temperament and appearance in China. Therefore, every time they went on a mission to both sides, it caused a sensation. The most famous one was that Li Xie and Lu Yuanming of the Northern Wei Dynasty were both romantic in Ye. His literary talent and behavior surprised Emperor Wu of Liang. He told his left and right, "I met a strong enemy today. You often say that there is no one in the north, where are you here? The Zheng family's children have not reached that level yet when they go to Kyoto this time, but the sensation caused by the thirty disciples in Xingyang this time has caused no less than a sensation."

But Li Zhi seemed to think it was not lively enough. In the eyes of the crowd, dozens of children from the Zheng family in Xingyang finally entered Luoyang. Then Li Zhi sent someone to inform Li Wei to hold a banquet in the palace and let Li Wei lead his ministers to welcome him at Tianjin Bridge.

He did not welcome the city, and only took one step to the palace, but he finally welcomed it in person or led a group of ministers to welcome it. It was a reward attitude to express his opinion to the Zheng family. After hearing this, Li Wei said nothing for a long time and said, "As for it?"

It's almost said, who is the emperor?

No wonder Wulu clan borrowed seeds from him desperately. They were all enlightened Central Plains. They valued blood ties so much, so they would not be the more backward Tubo.

There was no choice but to come late and reluctantly welcome a group of ministers to Tianjin Bridge. Li Zhi was ecstatic and the arrogant family finally lowered his head, but Li Wei was not convinced. He thought the specifications were too high, so he deliberately asked a group of disciples of the Zheng family to wait for a while in the south of Tianjin Bridge.

He brought his ministers to the Tianjin Bridge, took his first look and said, "Many people."

The south of Tianjin Bridge is a place where all civil and military officials wait for the court. There are no buildings in a large area. But at this time, they are crowded with people watching the fun. There are especially many little girls who almost scream with waving their incense palettes.

After sweating, I walked across Tianjin Bridge and looked again. The thirty children were probably chosen by the Zheng family. They were not only talented but also good-looking, but also a bit retro in their clothes. They had wide clothes and big sleeves. When the cool autumn breeze blew, the clothes fluttered. Every time they floated, they made the eyes of countless little girls.

Most of the people Li Wei knew each other and came over and called him, "Sanlang, Shiroro, Shiroro, Shiroro, Shiroro, and immediately invited him to the palace, otherwise the Tianjin Bridge would be "blocked". He held a banquet for entertaining him. In order to welcome the arrival of these children, the court also intended to set up several residences near the Imperial College to settle down. After the banquet, he sent it over.

Li Wei returned to the East Palace, and the whole palace was also discussing the matter.

He whispered to Di Hui: "If the Cui family and the Lu family come, how can the court be in love?"

Di Hui laughed and replied after laughing: "Amitabha, Your Majesty has always been very calm in his actions, and now he is attached to the appearance."

Li Wei also laughed.

What should I do? All the people across the country regard the five surnames and seven families as their value, and what they say is not the limit. Then they called an eunuch and said, "Go and take the young lady of the Zheng family to the East Palace. I have something to talk to her."

It's a nv son, and the Zheng family will never allow her to show off. This time, Zheng Gongchu is not listed for the banquet at the palace.

After a while, Zheng Gongchu was brought in.

I was still wearing a small curtain, but the curtain was very thin this time, and I could clearly see the inside with picturesque eyebrows and beautiful eyes. I also put on some light makeup, obviously I had some thoughts. Wearing a long blue dress, the skirt was dragging the ground, Nana came, like a ball of light smoke, and her posture was extremely elegant.

"sit."

"Thank you," he owed slightly and sat down gracefully.

"Miss Zheng, although I don't like this kind of interest marriage, it's very likely that you will have a place here," he pointed to the hall, but he was helpless. He was an emperor and could no longer have a free love relationship like before, including his ambiguous relationship with the Wulu clan, his entry into the palace by Ye Ci Mingyue, and even the future Princess Xiangdai will be a change of interest.

"Yeah," said a soft huh.

"If you have, I want to say it in advance. If you enter the Eastern Palace, your Zheng family is a prominent family, but I will not allow your family to mix with your harem status and future disputes between the prince." There is no need to say this sentence, but the madness and sensation caused by the Zheng family's children's entry into the capital this time made Li Wei feel sad and once again estimated the potential strength and influence of the five surnames and seven families.

"I should convey it to you."

"Also, your big families are like giant tumors, which have serious obstacles to the unification of the court's policies, but I made it clear in your family that I don't want to use suppression to resolve this problem. It is a win-win situation. Not only is it a win-win situation now, I hope that your family and the court will win together in hundreds of years. Therefore, your family needs support and cooperation with the court, which is what I want. But in the disputes in the court, I don't want your family to participate." In the past, a few wives and concubines went on a business trip.

It was discussed that the Eastern Palace was too thin and it was necessary to fill NV children in. It was best to fill NV children from the five surnames and seven families in exchange for their strong support. But it was about to become a reality, Li Wei thought of another thing. In fact, once the marriage was connected, he had more or less influence. For this reason, it was unlikely that they would join their families to gamble and support them with full support. Instead, it was possible to make some measures to misunderstand the mother, which would not have much effect and could also make the mother strongly rebound. It would be better to explain it directly.

"Here."

"In the end, it's yourself. No matter how you enter the East Palace, you are my wives and concubines, and you are a family. As long as you keep your duties and be kind-hearted, I will be very happy. Your family is rigorous and your family is huge. I don't want you to look down on others in the East Palace or oppress others in the future with the power of your family or the etiquette in the family."

"Here."

The affairs of the Zheng family must also be settled as soon as possible. The changes in the Eastern Turks made Li Wei very worried. This was not something Li Zhi could see on the surface. There were not many historical records. During the Wuzhou period, it seemed that the Khitans and the Turks caused a lot of hardships to the Tang Dynasty, and the Eastern Turks had never taken them back. It may be related to the fact that their mother did not understand military affairs and killed many generals, but in her heart, she never dared to underestimate the upcoming violence in the Eastern Turks this time. The Turks may not be regarded as their own people, but the Turks' territory must be occupied, which is called defending the enemy outside the country. Otherwise, from Youzhou to Hebei, from Yunshuo to Hedong, from Fengzhou to Guannei, from Lingzhou to Lingwu, they would have to start to arrange heavy troops to defend themselves, second only to the first. The court would have to pay a lot of expenses every year, which would far exceed the cost of sanctioning the Turks.
