Chapter 164 Probe (2)
This question should not be underestimated, otherwise it should not be too many. In one or two hundred years, the royal family will become a new blood-sucking worm in the Tang Dynasty.
I went along the way, but I couldn't figure out any good idea. Could it be that all the children of the royal family would become civilians? In fact, there was a feudal system, such as the first generation of princes, the second generation of successor kings, princes, husbands, uncles, men, sons, and commoners. For example, Liu Bei and Liu Huangshu of the Han Dynasty, they were just a civilian. And Liu Xiu was also a civilian.
Not that far.
No matter how the ceasing is divided, generation after generation, more new people emerge. The longer the blood-sucking worm became, the more harmful it became.
I couldn't help but scratch my head, grandma, this emperor was too hard to do. At least I was a person who was considered knowledgeable in the future, but I couldn't think of a good strategy in many places.
When I arrived at the gate of Wu Zetian's palace, I didn't see Wu Zetian.
There was no bubble along the way.
Although he was prepared, Wu Zetian was very disappointed in the face of this result.
Li Wei said to the eunuch again: "You have reported it all over and said that the sons and grandsons of the mother and daughter are all here, and the family reunion is also a joy of human relations. Let's meet each other."
"Well." The eunuch was a little jealous, but Li Wei didn't know him, but he had always answered cautiously. He was also afraid of the matter in Dongdu.
I went back and reported it, but I still didn't see you.
Li Lingyue asked sadly: "Brother, mother, she, she...?"
"Little sister, don't say anything." Li Wei did not explain. It was very simple to want his mother to be happy. Once the jade seal was handed over to the military and national power, his mother would be happy immediately. It cannot be solved at the moment. See if the mother can settle down in a few years. Otherwise, it is unlikely that she would want a happy family to reunite happily.
Go back.
Wei Yuanzhong walked in and said, "Your Majesty, there is a memorial written by the people of Chuzhou here. I think Your Majesty wants to read it.
"A commoner's memorial alarmed the prime minister?" Li Wei smiled, opened the memorial, and immediately his face became clear. The memorial was not written much, because of its shallow culture and very plain. However, it directly points to current affairs and is the water conservancy policy he mobilized.
In terms of benevolence and loving the people, since ancient times, there is no greater than Your Majesty. Once the two canals are opened, the people will be reborn and thousands of families will be born. It also promotes national water conservancy, and uses the aim of opening mountains, dikes and seas to fill lakes, and Guangxing piers and dams to protect the dikes and embankments, so that the people can have fields to cultivate and hemp to weave. However, the government orders have not been issued, and the powerful people in various places have occupied lakes and marshes, encircled them for themselves, and blocked dikes for private purposes. Many rich people in the south of the Yangtze River have turned deep lakes into circles, and subjects have also heard that there are also rich people in Hebei and Henan.
Invasion of water conservancy. This year, I heard that Your Majesty returns, this wind is getting hotter. I am worried. The rainy land in the south of the Yangtze River is that the lake is full of rain, and the people cannot irrigate it, and the rain is too heavy to water. In the long run, the flood will be revealed in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if there is little rain in the land in the south of Henan and Hebei, it will be difficult to irrigate the water and the people will irrigate it. The project is getting bigger, and each dam is not something that a county can spend a lot of money on the country, and only a few people seeking profits are the people who suffer the disaster.
This passage is very simple. If Li Wei had not talked about water conservancy several times, many ministers might not understand it.
Pi is mountain fields, or river fields and stream fields on the edge of the mountain. Some of the fields are very small, while others are large in size. This history is earlier than the history of polder fields, and piers appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Tang refers to the large embankment built on the beach. The pond fields that appear are mainly concentrated in northern Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian.
Weir refers to the irrigated farmland brought by large reservoirs and related water conservancy projects. This is more widely distributed. From Henan, Hebei, Guanzhong, to Jiannan, as long as you have the ability, you can bring a large amount of weir fields. The most famous one is Dujiangyan.
Zhu is a small continent in the river, and some small continents also began to cultivate a large number of farmland.
The dikes are mainly concentrated in the sub-coastal areas of the Yangtze River. From Runzhou to west to Anqing, from Anhui and Jiangsu, the Huaihe River, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan and other places, and there are also a large number of lakes, rivers, rivers, and rivers, which can be cultivated as pier. For the latter, Li Wei attaches the most importance to it. First, the development is late. Even if the Tang Dynasty was developing, there is a lot of room for development. Second, the yield is high, all are fertile soil, sufficient water sources, and a suitable climate. He was preparing to go to Chang'an to introduce Chameng rice from Chameng to breed and improve rice and seeds in Jiangnan. The rice yield is always higher than wheat sorghum.
I still remember two poems, one was written by Yang Wanli. The fields of wheat continue to fall in autumn every year, and every household in the market does not know how to worry. The road is crossing for a thousand miles. The country is a romantic country. He is not a minister who flatters, but also wrote many poems of the hard work of the people. From this perspective, it can reflect the benefits of the fields of the Song Dynasty to the people. Moreover, Fan Zhongyan and He Zhu have written similar words. He Zhu clearly wrote the yield in a poem, one stream of spring water is profitable, and two hectares of summer seedlings are harvested. The output of the Song Dynasty is slightly higher than that of the Tang Dynasty. Under the guidance of Li Wei, the Tang Dynasty only barely reached three stones per acre of land. If the enlarged acre of land is deducted, it is still insufficient. The Song Dynasty had a little more than 5 stones per acre of land. Faced with such a great return, Li Wei didn't know it. He knew that he still had the highest power of the empire, how could he not be moved?
If it is fully developed, there will always be 100,000 square kilometers, which is 1.5 million hectares of land. How many millions of hectares of arable land can the Tang Dynasty have? Without having to plough all of it, just half of it will be possible to reach nearly one million hectares of land, or to be one-rate fertile land. Looking at Qinghai crowding around, only tens of thousands of hectares of land were squeezed out. These new lands were only planned to collect 300 stones of grain, which could feed everyone in the Tang Dynasty. After talking to Di Renjie at that time, a green light flashed in Di Renjie's eyes.
The account cannot be like this. At that time, if the population is fierce and doubled, this advantage will be lost. But what if there is no such food? At that time, food is the most important thing for people, and there is no food, and there are so many people. What will happen?
So I rubbed my fists and prepared to use my skills.
But this memorial was undoubtedly a wake-up call.
If the truth is written in the memorial, the problem will be huge.
The biggest key to water conservancy is water effluent and water storage.
No matter how you circle, you must maintain a large number of reservoirs and lakes. When the water is huge, it can store water and reduce waterlogging. Why did historical books rarely record the flooding in Jiangnan before the Song Dynasty? Just think about it and you will know how a large number of swamp lakes can produce waterlogging? In drought, it can also play a role in irrigation and supplementation. In the long run, it can also protect the environment well.
Therefore, Li Weili San said that surveying should not be circled casually.
The second is water outlet. Once the water conservancy is overhauled, the vast ocean will become flat ground. No matter how much it is left, a large amount of it will definitely not exist. The water level will be large... Then the water flow in the river will increase, and it can even be lifted up to a surface water level of several meters or ten meters higher than the polder fields. For example, the later breaking polder was generated. In this case, not only will a large number of water storage lakes be retained, but enough rivers must be retained, and even digging wide and deep, so that the flood water in the river can quickly flow to the Yangtze River.
But if it is like the memorial "The powerful men stretch out their hands" written in the memorial, then the lake is silted, the rivers are blocked, there is no space for water storage, and there is no channel for water discharge. As long as the rain is heavy and the flood season is long, big things will happen. The north is better... But the powerful men stretch out their hands... it will inevitably have a significant impact and will have a greater impact on irrigation.
He closed the memorial, looked at the name and said, "Wei Qing, draft two verbal books for me."
"Um."
"The Chuzhou Civil Affairs Office Wan Qing Biao Shu was promoted to the Minister of Water Department of the Shangshu Department, and issued this memorial to the world. He also ordered officials and civil servants who were good at producing and producing in the country and water conservancy to go to counties, prefectures, or courts, to write their own opinions. If there is a right time... if you accept the right time, you will be rewarded... If you have great merits, you will be awarded to the official position."
Wei Yuanzhong was a little surprised.
But with relief, I began to write. The promotion of Si Wanqing was too fast, which may be the fastest promotion in the history of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. A commoner suddenly became an official from the sixth rank. I wonder if I could adapt after entering the court.
But considering that if this person had not submitted a memorial to the officials, they would be afraid of the great powers and would not report it. Once the construction started, the actual situation was divided by the various great powers, and the final situation would become a struggle between the emperor and all the great powers, wealthy families and landlords. This result was something that Emperor Taizong didn't want to see. At this time, there were not many people joining, and they could be stopped in time. The promotion would not be so heavy.
"Again, from now on, all the ponds, harbors, dams and dikes must be investigated in detail, drawn into a map, explained the specific strategies and methods of construction, and reported to the superiors for verification. Therefore, the new fields are distributed by the court and returned to the people. Anyone who has made private circumferences, ridges, dikes, and dams after I discussed the construction of water conservancy in the year of the year, regardless of the common people of Wangmen and the powerful and noble families, will be collected as state-owned. The Ministry of Revenue verified and distributed to poor land and tenants to equalize the rich and poor in the world."
Wei Yuanzhong wiped his sweat, was rich and poor?
However, the wind of annexation was too strong. Although the Zheng family had a good start, there were still a large number of landlords and Wangmen who continued to annexation. If it lasted for a long time, the Qi country would not benefit. Even if it occupied the Americas tens of thousands of miles away, it would be swallowed up in hundreds of years.
Li Wei continued: "Anyone who has an obstacle will be punished. At the least, the land will be confiscated, and at the worst, the exile will be exiled. If the person who takes the lead in mobilizing many people to resist will be killed without mercy. Those who shelter from local officials will be exempted from all official positions and will not be hired for life."
Li Wei was really angry. You really think that I am a god-like man, a good old man, and easy to bully.
It was also said: "Since the third year of Xianheng, since I and the former emperor advocated farming and breeding in various ways, those who occupied abandoned swamps will not be investigated. However, those who occupied rivers, canals, waterways, lakes, and irrigation will be affected. In addition, no matter who is not allowed to occupy rivers, lakes, and those who seek to use for their own use will be severely punished. In addition, when bamboo paper emerged, many workshops invaded rivers, rivers, and canals, and they will be able to make their own efforts and harm water conservancy. All of them will be returned from writing. Those who lack water will be short of water.
, After verification by local officials in the wasteland, the pond will be opened and the water will be moderately rewatched, otherwise all the assets of Jingfang will be found. In addition, in the Henan area of Guanzhong, and even in the whole country, there are many wealthy families who occupy water and set up mills, pound grain, millet and flour for their own benefit. From the date of writing, the amount of irrigation water will be verified and confirmed. If the excess is found, all the more will be checked as appropriate. Those who violate the order will be punished severely! If the above officials deal with the unfairness, the local people can submit a memorial to the court in order to seek justice."
Li Wei thought about it later. He had planned to wait for representatives of various major households to come to Chang'an, and everyone sat down and negotiated and settled calmly.
However, Si Wanqing's memorial made him angry.
Water conservancy can be said to be the foundation of the country. Even in later generations, it is very important, and the current fragile mode of production.
But Wei Yuanzhong was very clear-headed. He did not write down, but said, "Your Majesty, listen to me. After reading Si Wanqing's memorial, I felt that the matter was very serious, and in fact, it might be more serious than Si Wanqing's writing."
"Well, he is just a commoner, and there will be taboos when writing."
"Some of him dare not write it out, but it is difficult to convince the world by his own words. In my opinion, it is better to ask me to send some reliable officials as envoys to various roads to inspect, then quickly return to Beijing and report the truth to Your Majesty. In this way, it would be more reasonable and well-founded to issue a verdict to the world."
Li Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Okay. But the first slander is issued. In addition, we send envoys, so that local officials should not know about it, and use other excuses instead to avoid being misled by local officials."
"Um."
After Wei Yuan's "Zhong left" Li Wei's anger gradually subsided.
Wading means being angry, but thinking about it, no matter which generation, that country is not full of troubles and cannot be solved.
I am the leader of the landlord class, but instead lead the poor class and are fighting against the landlord class. What's the matter?
ps: If you understand the matter about water conservancy, it will be very exciting to write. However, the protagonist is not suitable for the emperor, but local officials. It is possible that the details of water conservancy will be written in the following book, which is more reasonable to write in the Song Dynasty. I saw a story where Changle girl Qian Siniang went to the general's beach to build a mountain. The streams were everywhere, and the mountain was broken. Qian Siniang was angry and threw herself into the water and died. This book was simply and roughly. But as long as Li Wei really did these things well, he would not develop sailing, and a more perfect Tang Dynasty would inevitably appear.
