The charming mid-spring season is increasingly generous with fragrance, bringing joy and happiness in life.

The beauties who went to Ganzhou sat in the car and walked through the sensation and scenes of the city swaying in Chang'an. Although they were still being talked about by some people, more than two months have passed.

In two months, a lot of things happened. Many people have forgotten the fact that Xu Qilin, who was only thirteen years old, took office in Ganzhou.

His Majesty Li Er passed on the will of King Ju Wentai of Gaochang, but Ju Wentai was indeed rejected by illness.

He found the new ancestor, the noble clan of the Yinshan Mountains of His Majesty Li Er, and recited the emperor's name day and night in prison. It was indeed more effective than chanting Buddha and Bodhisattva. He was spared from death and was sent to Lingnan.

But this is not over yet. His Majesty Li Er issued an imperial edict and began to rectify the monks.

The main measure is to inspect the number of property of all temples and their belongings; monks who do not have legal certificates and violate Buddhist precepts must return to secular secular life and confiscate their property; they shall not be ordained privately, and the number of slaves that monks shall keep.

At the same time, His Majesty Li Er respected Zen Buddhism and sent King Li Tai of Wei to worship at Shaolin Temple in Songshan. He also praised Zen Buddhism's priest "only hang bags, not to accumulate personal wealth; to work hard to support one day, not to eat for one day" and wrote inscriptions and erected monuments.

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that His Majesty Li Er is suppressing one faction and winning over another. Except for Zen, other Buddhist sects are afraid that they will be in trouble.

Sure enough, after more than a month of preparation, the large-scale action began.

There was no murder, but a large number of monks were forced to return to secular life, and the slaves they kept were also listed as "city registration" and sent to Hexi to think of taxpayers.

The land and money in the temple were also confiscated in large quantities, and the land was distributed to landless people, while the money was used to build welfare institutions such as Sales Hospital.

This movement started from Guanzhong and was quite gentle and orderly, and did not treat real monks too much; but after it gradually spread to the local area, some local officials used this as an opportunity to win political achievements and win His Majesty's favor.

Extreme behavior is inevitable, but it is not necessary to destroy the temple and kill monks. His Majesty Li Er remained silent about this, but issued an order to maintain social order in various places and not cause any changes.

In fact, His Majesty Li Er's concerns were a bit redundant. Although this place was too much, stability was not affected much.

On the contrary, when the information on the number of temples and monks and nuns in various places was summarized and presented to His Holiness Li Er, he immediately felt that the rectification was right at the right time.

There are more than 4,000 temples, 40,000 orchids, covering an area of ​​tens of millions of acres; there are more than 200,000 monks and nuns, 160,000 slaves, and more than 100,000 tenants who depend on the temple.

This is not all the figures, and His Majesty Li Er has felt the necessity of rectification. Just slaves and tenants are more than 200,000 tax evaders, and the losses of the state's finances can be imagined.

Without considering how long it took, His Majesty Li Er approved the sending of slaves and monks to Hexi, and the land of temples cultivated by the tenants was nationalized, and then distributed to the tenants by the state.

Obviously, His Majesty Li Er's policies and methods are flexible, and he suppresses Buddha without abolishing Buddha. This has a small social impact, which is more conducive to social stability and court rule.

But as long as the emperor shows this attitude, monks need to consider it if they want to expand; many local officials dare not indulge, and even the important minister Xiao Yu was scolded and warned for protecting the Buddha. How dare others dare?

Almost 260,000 people were sent to Ganzhou, right?

His Majesty Li Er made up, took Xu Qilin's report and looked at it, pursed his lips and smiled. Should this kid be satisfied?

After handling official duties, His Majesty Li Er drank a cup of tea before getting up and walking out, heading to Bingxia Palace.

Today is the day when Xiao Zhao enters the palace and studies with Yizi. His Majesty Li Er, a mad girl who loves sex, may feel uncomfortable if he can't see Yizi for a day.

When he arrived outside Bingxia Palace, His Majesty Li Er saw a small figure exercising on the grass from afar. Well, he thought it was exercise.

After getting closer, I saw clearly that it was Sun Busan, who was waving his nunchao, playing with the sound of the wind and being quite good.

During the fireworks performance, His Majesty Li Er once saw this strange thing and thought it was just for the good look. But seeing Sun Busan jumping and leaping, he felt that it was not what he thought.

Sun Busan's body is quite strong and his face is strong. This dress is also in a neat style, suitable for martial arts practice.

He became so sexy that Sun Busan smashed the branch with a stick, and then he chuckled and took the stick with a stick.

His Majesty Li Er blinked his eyes, a little surprised by this girl's stick technique and strength.

Sun Busan left his back with a stick and turned around and wanted to leave, but he saw His Majesty Li Er and a few palace servants walking slowly and bowed to salute.

"Sun Busan, right? Come and talk." His Majesty Li Er waved with a smile.

Sun Busan walked over with some hesitation and timidity and saluted again.

"No need to be polite, get up!" His Majesty Li Er had seen Sun Busan two times, and they all accompanied Xiao Zhao into the palace. Seeing the little girl's timid look, he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I like the little girl the most, just like Xiao Zhao."

Sun Busan forced a smile, bowed and stood still, but said nothing.

"How long has this stick technique been practiced?" His Majesty Li Er asked, "Take it to me and see."

Sun Busan hurriedly pulled out a stick from his back, presented it with both hands, and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, Meng Alang teaches that Caomin has been practicing nunchakus for several months."

His Majesty Li Er fiddled with it twice, made of hardwood and connected with iron chains. This weight is quite suitable for the little girl. It would be really hard to swing it.

"Is this a martial art?" His Majesty Li Er asked in confusion: "Is it Qi Lin's way of telling you?"

Sun Busan thought for a while and said, "Alang said this is quite powerful and can defend himself."

His Majesty Li Er nodded, returned the stick to Sun Busan, and said with a smile: "It's better to be good at playing, it's better to be able to defend yourself. Well, protect your little lady!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the grass-roots remember." Although Sun Busan still looked timid, he could speak normally. It was quite amazing to a civilian girl.

His Majesty Li Er smiled and turned around and continued to walk towards the hall.

Before he arrived at the gate of the hall, he heard a giggle. Xiao Zhao and Aizi finished class. He ran out excitedly with a racket in his hand.

"Father--"

"His Majesty--"

His Majesty Li Er smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, touched Xiao Zhao's head and stroked his daughter's face.

"Go, have fun, be careful." His Majesty Li Er said, standing there, watching the two little girls playing badminton in the garden.

Xu Hui heard the sound, walked out of the hall, bowed and bowed, and said to His Majesty.

"Forgive it, forgive it." His Majesty Li Er raised his hand and said, "Is the homework of Yizi and Xiao Zhao okay?"

"Your Highness's flying white body is getting more and more sophisticated, and he is almost as good as His Majesty." Xu Hui praised with a smile: "If you put it together for a while, I will probably find it difficult to tell."

His Majesty Li Er laughed and looked proud.

"Xiao Zhao, I think it's the calligraphy taught by Qi Lin. The time is still short and I still need to practice hard." Xu Hui belittled the girl a little, but it was not very good.

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "Qi Lin is a disciple of the immortal Lu Yu. The word "demand" requires strong muscles and bones. Xiao Zhao is young and has insufficient wrist strength, so there is no need to rush for a moment."

"I am not harsh, either." Xu Hui said: "The princess and Xiao Zhao are both very attentive, and I think it's enough."

Well, His Majesty Li Er has no desire to make his beloved daughter a talented woman. It is best to be happy and healthy.

After watching for a while, His Majesty Li Er walked into the hall. A palace servant had already served tea, and Xu Hui brought the copybooks of the two girls to ask him to comment.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Xiao Zhao's first, nodded and praised a few words. Those who had seen Yizi were even more pleased.

"Qi Lin came to a letter saying that he had sent some local specialties from Ganzhou and would be delivered soon." Xu Hui said: "I have settled in Ganzhou and everything is fine, so I don't have to worry."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Qi Lin is very concerned about doing things. He led his troops to Ganzhou in advance and finally finished planting cotton. Now, he is organizing laborers to build houses and prepare to resettle immigrants."

"I heard from Qi Lin's letter that Ganzhou is not so bitter and cold, but it is sparsely populated and wide, and it is a bit remote." Xu Hui was obviously not so worried, and the smile on her face showed her mood.

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "You also heard from before, thinking that only the Central Plains is good. Qi Lin is good and can see the foundation of prosperity in remote places. Well, after conquering Gaochang, Ganzhou will usher in the development opportunity, and now it is just a foundation."

"Is there another war?" Xu Hui smiled and said, "I know much more about Gaochang than I do, and I am thinking about the raisins there!"

Hahaha, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help laughing and said, "Isn't this all Qi Lin provoked? During the sand table deduction last year, he told Yizi that he wanted to steal all the raisins from Gaochang."

Xu Hui smiled on her face, and when she saw that she was so happy that she felt happy.

Zhangye, also known as Ganzhou. During the Western Han Dynasty, General Huo Qubing of the Cavalry marched into Hexi and defeated the Huns. Later, he adopted the meaning of "Zhang Guo's arm to connect to the Western Regions" and established Zhangye County.

During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Juqu Mengxun established the Northern Liang Kingdom in Zhangye. Due to his governance, Zhangye culture showed an unprecedented prosperity and became the center of northern Chinese Buddhism.

At the same time, Zhangye gradually became an intermediary for the communication and trade between the mainland of China and the Western Regions.

There are snow-capped mountains, grasslands, clear waters and deserts in Zhangye. It is a very unique desert oasis. It can not only appreciate the charm of the southern country, but also see the charm of the frontier, which is even more amazing.

The sky is high, the air is clean, the environment is beautiful, the landform is rich, the landscape is not cold in winter, and the summer is cool, which is even better than the environment in Chang'an.

However, economic development in such a good place is very lagging behind, mainly because the court did not shift the focus of development in Hexi and Longyou to Zhangye.

The biggest problem restricting Zhangye's development is its population, a fertile land of thousands of miles, but lack of manpower. It was not until the Wu Zetian period that Chen Zi'ang wrote a letter to the beginning of military farming in Zhangye.

Therefore, Xu Qilin dared to boast about Haikou and dared to come here to gilt.

Even without his later thinking, as long as the court supports him, others can still build Zhangye into Jiangnan. Although it will definitely cost him much more time than him.

With two thousand soldiers in the palace, Xu Qilin and his accompanying officials traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Zhangye before planting cotton.

There was nothing to say. After a rough investigation, Xu Qilin commanded the troops to farm and farm, planted all the cotton seeds, which were as many as a thousand acres.

Then the immigrants from the craftsmen's family in the Dayingku Transportation Team continued to arrive, and a fierce construction began.

Although the Yuezhi Xiongnu built cities here as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was not large in scale and was already ruined. The ancient city of Ganzhou, which later generations, was built in the Western Xia.

Xu Qilin wanted to build a famous city in the northwest, but it was not the most important task. Building houses and resettling immigrants and cultivate land is the most urgent task.

Therefore, he selected the city site and drew the drawings. According to the plan, the houses were first, and then the shops were later, and the city was finally the city, which reversed the construction procedures.

At the same time, based on the survey results, he set up villages and built towns, diverted migrants, and continued to use the army to reclaim land and cultivate farming while building houses.

Food is the most important thing for people, and the cost of transporting grain from a long distance is too high. Cotton that creates economic benefits has been planted, and the rest is to vigorously plant grain, striving to achieve self-sufficiency after this autumn harvest.

The work of resettlement of immigrants is complicated and trivial, and what is needed is not only houses, farm tools, but also various daily necessities. Of course, not all of these have to be transported from Chang'an, and Liangzhou to the east can also be purchased.

What surprised Xu Qilin the most was the mind and sense of smell of the merchants. They saw the great development of Ganzhou and the large number of immigrants moving westward. These merchants also saw business opportunities.

A large number of supplies were transported by merchants, and even the transportation team that was useless in Dayingku, Xu Qilin expressed great welcome.

Isn’t it just to make money? We still have this shortage? As long as we solve the current troubles, Xu Qilin is still happy to let these merchants trade.

In order to express encouragement, according to the amount of supplies transported by merchants, Xu Qilin introduced preferential policies and sent a message to Chang'an, allowing Dayingku to give these merchants convenience.

"Xu Cheng, I'm back next time." Wang Fangyi jumped off his horse, his face was dusty, but he was filled with joy. He turned around and pointed, "The hundreds of stones collected in the salt pond have been transported to it."

The salt pond is more than 900 miles north of Zhangye. It is white and sweet and has excellent quality. Wang Fangyi was ordered to go there and returned with a full load, which solved the problem of salt eating for immigrants in an instant.

"Okay, great." Xu Qilin breathed a sigh of relief again, and another daily necessity was solved, which was gratifying.

Wang Fangyi smiled and said, "For more than ten days, it has changed a lot again, which surprised me."

"You can't do it if you don't have a hurry!" Xu Qilin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty's support is not mentioned, but the speed is really fast. Soon another group of immigrants came, who were monks who returned to secular life and kept slaves."

Wang Fangyi nodded and said, "Your Majesty will attack the monks, which will be beneficial to the construction of Ganzhou. As long as there is a large population, Ganzhou will become the south of the Yangtze River in the Fortress."
