Chapter 314 Untitled(1/2)

The construction of Gansu and Su prefectures and the support and assistance of the court partially alleviated the contradiction between the large population and the small land in Guanzhong, but it was not thorough enough.

Inadequate land grants will directly affect the recruitment of the troops, their fighting will and enthusiasm for combat.

It’s not that His Majesty Li Er didn’t know about this situation, so he would support immigration work.

In the long run, with the increase of population and land annexation, the country will use less and less land to be granted. The destruction of the equal-land system will be accompanied by the collapse of rent and mediocre rent and mediocre system and the collapse of the government system.

Of course, this situation will not occur in the Tang Dynasty as a whole. The establishment of Kuanxiang and Shouxiang villages has shown that some places cannot be granted fields according to the number of fields in the equal field system.

The first solution is to immigrate, so that the land in Saxiang and Kuanxiang balances with farmers. This has achieved good results in the exhibition in Gansu and Su Prefectures.

Another way is to reclaim the public land that the nobles, bureaucrats and landlords have legally and illegally occupied and redistribute them to ordinary farmers.

Obviously, His Majesty Li Er doesn't want to take the second solution.

Because the Tang Dynasty was established for a short time, it was rewarded with the prince to the eternal land of the nobles of the nobles, including the prince and the prince, the prince and the nobles. The division of land and the common ground was a kind of reward for merit and was a supplement to the salary, and it was inappropriate to recover it.

Therefore, Xu Qilin did not dare to mention this idea of ​​attracting hatred. He just reminded His Majesty Li Er to take out 30 acres of land to grow cotton according to the standard of one hundred acres, so that the output of grain can also support the use.

However, the land in Hebei and Henan is sufficient for local farmers to allocate, and even has a lot of wasteland reclaimed and a lot of room for increase.

In addition to continuing to immigrate from Guanzhong, Saixiang, Xu Qilin also suggested that ordinary women, divisions and servants give land to ordinary women, so that the construction of Hebei and Henan can be accelerated.

His Majesty Li Er pondered and did not make a decision immediately.

This is not a trivial matter. According to the equal land system, these people are not granted land. If this opening is opened, what should I do in other places? Does giving land by a servant means transferring to a good citizenship?

In fact, this is what Xu Qilin meant. He couldn't stand the rules of treating slaves as animal property, and hoped that all slaves would no longer become the lowest class.

In order to pursue the construction of Ganzhou, His Majesty Li Er made a fuss and allowed the slaves of the Yeting Palace to take off their lowly family and become "city family".

But that was an official slave, and the court had the final say. However, it was reasonable to think carefully about the whole society.

"This matter is very important, let's talk about it later." His Majesty Li Er temporarily suppressed this matter and did not want to make a hasty decision.

Xu Qilin had known this before, so he bowed and said, "There is another way for me to go to Hebei and Henan to reclaim wasteland and plant cotton."

Not all the official slaves are women. Before they arrive at the Yeting Palace, the criminals who were detained must be selected. Most of them are assigned to the Sinong Temple and are supervised by the Duguan. The slaves belonging to the various palace supervisors and herdsmen and other departments are also assigned to the Sinong Temple.

The various labors of the governments in the Tang Dynasty, such as some government handicrafts and some agricultural production labor in the fields under the jurisdiction of the Sinong Temple, were borne by the slaves of the official family.

His Majesty Li Er understood what Xu Qilin meant. Anyway, these official slaves had not been fully utilized. It would be better to let them increase the arable land for the Tang Dynasty, and the number of cotton planting will also be increased.

In His Majesty Li Er's opinion, cotton coats should be one of the equipment of the army to conquer Goguryeo. With the means to keep warm, the chances of victory increased greatly.

"This proposal is feasible. I will ask Sinong Temple to conduct statistics. Next year - no, I will be able to draw a batch this year and go to Hebei and Henan."

Xu Qilin knew that he had pried open another hole. In the future, he could gradually transfer these slaves to "city registration" under the name of rewards.

The king and his minister had been talking for a long time and reached a consensus on many things, which was a great deal of conversation.

"I have been away for several years, and I must be in a hurry to see Sister Ru." His Majesty Li Er felt that it was enough to talk about so much today. He would talk about something unimportant later, so he smiled and said, "Let's leave today and go and meet Xu Chongrong."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Qilin stood up to salute. Just as he was about to leave, the voice of His Majesty Li Er sounded again, "The management of Ganzhou has made great contributions, and the reward will be delivered soon."

Xu Qilin smiled satisfied, thinking that he was busy in Ganzhou? After bowing to thank him, he withdrew from Qianqiu Palace.

Guided by the palace servants, Xu Qilin headed straight to Bingxia Palace.

On the way, he met the palace maid sent by Xu Hui, and led it to Xu Qilin to Bingxia Palace.

Seeing this magnificent palace, when he thought of the sister living inside, Xu Qilin suddenly felt like a luxurious prison, and sister was the long-term prisoner here.

Can my own struggle really change my sister's fate? Xu Qilin smiled bitterly, not sure.

The palace servant just announced that Xu Qilin had already entered the palace, looked at his sister, smiled and bowed, "Sister, I'm back."

Xu Hui was already anxious. When she saw her younger brother, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, walked up to look at her carefully, and smiled on her face, "I'm grown up, this is taller than Sister."

Xu Qilin squatted down and smiled mischievously: "No, I'm a head shorter than my sister!"

Xu Hui was amused and laughed. She reached out and touched her brother's forehead and face, and sighed: "It was blown by the wind in the northwest, and it was a lot darker!"

Xu Qilin smiled and helped his sister sit down. The siblings sat opposite each other, looking at each other with a smile, but they couldn't say anything.

"Work hard to manage in Ganzhou, can Your Majesty receive a reward?" Xu Hui casually raised a topic.

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Your Majesty asked me to go home and wait, but I don't know what kind of reward it is?"

Xu Hui curled her lips and said, "It would be great to give it directly, so I'm happy."

Xu Qilin took the tea brought by the palace servant, took a sip, and said, "I am happy when I come back. As a reward, it is just a icing on the cake, but I don't care much."

Xu Hui nodded and said, "This is true. My younger brother's official title is also the best among his peers. More importantly, he has worked hard on himself, which makes those who rely on their own strength to gain official positions."

Xu Qilin glanced at him and saw the strange stone on the wooden frame. He pointed his finger and said, "Sister likes this too? Why don't you tell me in the letter? I'll find a few more for you."

Xu Hui shook her head and said, "It's useless to just enjoy the toys you enjoy in your spare time. Although I manage Ganzhou, it's not easy to take it away. I don't want you to waste more money."

After pausing for a moment, Xu Hui smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao is a person who can spend money. I don't ask, I know she has collected some, right?"

Xu Qilinhe said, "This is also a hobby. Although I don't understand elegance, I support Xiao Zhao. Sister, don't save any money. Isn't it just a spending if I make a profit?"

Xu Hui nodded and said, "I know that the family is rich and rich, it is also the right way to come. You and Qi Huo also have official positions and salary, so Sister will not care about how you spend it. But Xiao Zhao, it is better not to develop the habit of being big-handed."

Xu Qilin agreed with this, but he didn't care.

Xu Hui asked about all kinds of things in Ganzhou again. In order to make his sister happy, Xu Qilin told some interesting things, which made Xu Hui laugh.

"Is sister still happy in the palace?" Xu Qilin handed the teacup to the palace servants and asked while they left to renew the tea.

Xu Hui raised her eyebrows and said, "It's nothing more than reading books and looking at the scenery. There's nothing that's going well or not. You also know that Sister's temper is not up to date. If she doesn't fight or fight, there will be no so many right and wrong."

Xu Qilin pondered for a moment, and saw the palace maid coming to serve tea, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sister, the sun is good outside. I'll accompany you to the garden?"

Xu Hui's eyes flashed, and knew that my younger brother had something to say, so she stood up and smiled, "Sister is too lazy to move. You have said you should exercise regularly many times, but you just can't control it. Just take advantage of you to come and accompany my sister."

Xu Qilin smiled and nodded, got up and accompanied his sister out of the palace gate, and walked on the road surrounded by flowers, plants and trees.

Although there were palace servants accompanying him, they were all very tactfully far away, so they didn't expect them to overhear the conversation.

"This dress looks very good for Sister, elegant and indifferent, and has a sense of being extraordinary." Xu Qilin praised casually.

Xu Hui smiled and said, "Yester yesterday, Xiao Ye'er was naughty and left a mark on it. The palace servants washed and dried it. I smelled it, and it seemed like a little baby!"

Xu Qilin laughed twice and said, "Xiao Ye'er is very cute. Sister thinks she likes it so hard, so she will remember the smell in her heart, not in her nose."

Xu Hui pursed the corner of her lips and said with a smile: "The sound of lingers around the beams, and it's not too late for three days. Xiao Ye'er has a precedent for the endless aftertaste, which is also interesting."

Xu Qilin took a deep breath and said, "Sister likes children. I think it's lonely in the palace and Xiao Ye'er is cute. But in this inner courtyard of the palace, if there are no children, how can you deal with yourself in the future?"

Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, curled her smile, and looked at her younger brother with a frown.

Xu Qilin avoided his sister's gaze, looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "I have seen Chongsheng Palace and Ganye Temple. I heard that most of the sonless concubines of the late emperor became monks there, and the ancient Buddha of Qinglanterns, have spent the rest of his life."

"I'm careful." Xu Hui hurriedly spoke out and stopped him, and even glanced at the palace servant not far away.

"Your Majesty is in full swing, how dare you say this?" Xu Hui knew what his younger brother wanted to say, so she didn't want him to say it at all. She lowered her voice and said, "If someone else hears it, wouldn't it be a big disaster?"

Xu Qilin said: "There are only you, my siblings here, so why worry?"

Xu Hui sighed, shook her head repeatedly, telling Xu Qilin not to say anything more.

The two of them stood like this, their eyes all turned into the distance, as if they were looking and thinking.

Xu Qilin didn't want her sister to make too much change, but she just wanted to make her feel a little worried. For this matter, he could only help and try to get her sister the opportunity.

Two small figures appeared in the distance, and behind them were the palace servants who were accompanying him. Without getting closer and taking a closer look, you will know that it was Yizi and Xincheng.

"It's the two princesses." Xu Qilin broke the silence and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao is a lazy guy. Last night, I told me to ask for leave for her and want to go to the villa to escape the summer heat!"

Xu Hui finally smiled and said, "Am I too strict? In fact, Xiao Zhao's knowledge is almost enough."

"Let her come to the palace more often!" Xu Qilin made up his mind and said, "I will understand when I go back and explain it to her clearly."

Xu Hui glanced at me and naturally knew the deep meaning of this. She lowered her eyelids and she was justified.

"Sister should exercise more often," Xu Qilin reminded again: "It is not good for health if you always sit and read books."

Xu Hui laughed and said jokingly: "You can walk a hundred steps every day. Since you mentioned it again, then take two hundred steps."

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "It's better to teach my sister how to dance. It's very simple, it's only fifteen steps, and you'll see it twice."

"No, no!" Xu Hui waved his hand with a smile.

Xu Qilin ignored that, and stepped forward a few steps and found a slightly larger flat ground, then jumped up at Xu Hui.

The pace was not very fast, and Xu Qilin deliberately danced very gently, not as dynamic as he was.

Xu Hui smiled so hard that her branches were trembling, but she was attracted by the elegant and smooth dance steps, and she couldn't help but applaud.

Yizi and Xincheng ran over with a string of silver bell-like laughter and shouted beside Xu Qilin.

Xu Qilin danced several times and even learned it from Yizi and Xincheng. The dance steps are indeed simple, not to mention that they still have the foundation of ghost step dance.

Stopped the dance steps, Xu Qilin grimaced at the two young masters and laughed.

"My uncle is dancing well!" Xincheng clapped his hands and jumped as if he was decent.

Xu Qilin stretched out his thumb and praised: "Xincheng is so smart. You can learn it after reading it twice."

Xu Qilin smiled with a pursed lips but stopped calling him uncle, which made Xu Qilin a little strange.

"My uncle, you have grown so much." Xincheng reached out and measured, "I have grown too, but it's not as fast as you!"
