It has to be said that although Fang Yiai seems to have strong limbs and a simple mind, when it comes to being a bad person, he is not vague at all. He is indeed a playboy who has been around in Chang'an City for a while, and he has really taken the opportunity to display his stubborn temperament. once.

Needless to say, the vegetables he bought back must have cost a lot of money during this lean period, but the meat was very fresh when cooked. Even the steps of slaughtering and cleaning were omitted, and the sheep were directly given to Zhu Guer. He rushed to the governor's Yamen.

Li Chengqian was upset when he saw the sheep and pigs running around the yard, and he dropped the wine bottle with a black line on his forehead. He ordered Li Hui to lead someone to drag him down and beat him severely. There is no time for small thoughts.

Shi Renji is a man who can let the prince beat his brother-in-law for trivial matters, so he quickly came out to smooth things over, and then ordered people to get the ingredients and sort them out as quickly as possible. If he was starving Prince, that is the crime of beheading.

"For Hong Sheng's sake, I will record this beating for you for the time being. If it continues, huh! Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry down and help, waiting for Gu to reward you."

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and scolded Fang Yiai angrily. Seeing how everyone from the governor to the sergeant came back in disgrace, he knew that it was not easy for him. How could he have the nerve to embarrass others?

"Hong Sheng, after entering Ningzhou, I saw that the people in each township were very busy; those who farmed and those who moved, both groups were organized in an orderly manner under the supervision of the government. You have done a great job. Great, great contribution!

After this migration is completed, I will ask your majesty for your merits. It is not a problem to be promoted to the next level, and you might even be rewarded with a title!"

When an ordinary official heard what the prince said, he would be so happy that he would kneel down and thank him. However, Shi Renji was not so happy. Instead, he explained to Li Chengqian the difficulties in moving from Ningzhou narrow township to Kuan township with a solemn expression.

Is the court's policy correct? Yes, it's absolutely correct. Land annexation has always been one of the country's biggest hidden dangers and is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Only by clarifying this issue can ordinary people live with peace of mind.

It is clearly written in the imperial decree that people who move to Kuanxiang can enjoy tax exemption and get double the land at the same time. The benefits of moving to guard the border are even greater, so there are many people who want to live a better life. Joined the migrating team.

When people left, the extra land would become vacant. Those squires were greedy for land, but they did not dare to try it themselves due to the laws and regulations of the court, so they came up with many bad tricks to force the government to bear the pressure and use the land. Break the rules and sell them cheaply.

Some of them made excuses, driving up the government's price for redeeming slaves, and threatening those who sold themselves into slavery. If they didn't stand by their side this time, there would be no natural or man-made disasters later, and when their livelihoods could no longer be maintained, there would be no one to sell themselves. Chance.

In addition, those who live by renting land are accustomed to having no property or employment. Business is not what they are good at. If they give up renting land and receive land grant, they will have to rent it from them at double the price when they come back bankrupt. of fertile fields.

What's more, they sell the less-than-good land at a low price, and then go to the government office to apply for fertile land. If they take away the fields that are guaranteed to be harvested due to drought and floods, then others will have nothing to plant.

Therefore, more than half of the landless people are still in a wait-and-see attitude. Even if the court is willing to redeem their lives and grant them land, they may not dare to take this risk, and the government cannot judge those gentry for crimes.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. What is even more terrible is that many of the people who moved out are strong men and women. The remaining people will definitely not be able to plant all these fields. This year, the Zhechong government will help, next year, and the year after that.

Woolen cloth?

To solve this problem, we must have a large number of cattle, but these cattle are rare for that state, and private trade is prohibited, so what can he do?

"Cattle are not a problem. Mobei has now been completely Chineseized. The beef cattle there can be transformed into farm cattle after wearing nose rings, and the number is still considerable.

Since you are in such a hurry, I will compile the figures tomorrow and write a handwriting to Li Ji, asking him to allocate some money first to deal with special matters. We must not delay the autumn harvest! Since the imperial court has issued a policy, it must deal with the local government and the people.

No worries!”

As he spoke, Li Chengqian dusted off his sleeves again and continued: "But the squire is not so bold to fight openly and covertly with the government. Tell me, it is that bastard noble who is blocking your way. A good man will do whatever it takes.

Cleaned up for you."

Not to mention Ningzhou, there are still some unscrupulous people under the emperor's feet. In order to scare the monkeys, Li Chengqian specially requested an order to let Hou Junji and Yuchi Jingde take the lead and accept them. They were fooled.

After more than ten days, they were finally convinced to accept the court's proposal.

This is a problem that needs to be cured. I just want to get away with it by relying on my family's power, and I just want to get through by making jokes. Is it that cheap?

The words "The law does not punish the public" should really be used as a gold medal to avoid death! In view of the fact that Chang'an is still like this, Li Chengqian specially ordered three thousand cavalry to accompany him this time, led by Huaihua General Qin Huaiyu, who is currently stationed in Ning

Ding County is thirty miles outside the city.

"On behalf of the folks in Ningzhou and the entire government staff, I would like to thank His Highness for your grace. With these cattle, I feel more at ease and more confident in completing the mission assigned by the imperial court.

Ningzhou is not as good as Chang'an, and it doesn't have many nobles. I used to surrender because I was not completely sure that the people would be too good for the past two years. Now that I have no worries, I promise to deal with these wealthy locals within half a month. The rest

When you see that the situation is over, you will just give up."

"Your Highness's grace is as high as the heavens and as deep as the sea. Not only did he forgive my faults, but he also gave great favor to the people of Ningzhou. Even if I and the people of Ningzhou were torn to pieces, they would not be able to repay His Highness.

Therefore, I have been paying attention to how to repay His Highness in the past few years, and finally found something that His Highness is interested in at the beginning of the year. Please wait a moment, Your Highness."

After speaking, under Li Chengqian's curious gaze, Shi Renji ran to the back hall and made a jingling sound. Later, he found two notebooks and happily presented them to the prince.

"Your Highness, don't look at this Zhuangzi just for people to have fun. There is something inside it. As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do or buy there."

Then he showed embarrassment and said nonchalantly: "Although I know that those guys are protected by them, I and others are short of money and really can't get in touch with the people behind the scenes."
