Chapter 169 The emperor is shameless? It snowed heavily and was covered in silver. Chang'an did not fall into silence because of the cold at the end of the year.
Every household is preparing for the New Year. Even if the previous year was not a good one, at the end of the year they will pull out a few feet of cloth and make new clothes for their children.
People who haven't eaten much meat all year round will spend a little money to buy some meat.
At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed! No matter in terms of time or people's expectations for next year, they all hope to pray to their ancestors at this time for a good start next year.
This is comfort to the soul and hope at the same time.
People cannot live without hope. In this troubled era, a minor illness can end a living life.
Most people don’t have much expectations: to have enough to eat, to wear warm clothes, to have food at home, and to have children and grandchildren!This may be the biggest wish of people in this era! On the first day of this year, the court did not take much the grand ceremonies that used to be held during the Lantern Festival have been cancelled.
In the first year of Zhenguan, during this year, the Tang Dynasty suffered from famine everywhere, famine in Shandong and Hebei, drought in the Central Plains, and floods in the south, all of which dealt a heavy blow to this new country.
Even though Li Shimin was extremely anxious, he could only repair this house that was leaking air everywhere like a tinker.
It's not that he doesn't want to make any big moves, but looking at the victims everywhere and the evil people with ulterior motives, he can only sit in the Tai Chi Hall and test carefully.
Although the imperial court did not take any action, it was much more tolerant of the people. Even Wu Hou, who wandered around every night, was much slower.
The relaxation of policies has allowed businesses and traders to see opportunities.
On weekdays, they can only trade in the East and West Markets, and they also have strict time after some vendors closed their stalls an hour late but no one asked, the whole of Chang'an seemed to be in full swing immediately.
"Your Majesty! Are you under the control of the Chang'an Order? What has become of it?"
Li Shimin was bored in the palace that day, so he asked his superiors, Xuanling and Wei Zheng, to come out of the palace together.
Originally, according to their thinking, when the imperial court took no action, wouldn't Chang'an be even more depressed at this time? But what is happening now?
They had already been to the East and West Market, which was several times more lively than usual. Even when they left the palace, they saw someone setting up a stall outside the Chang'an city gate.
This was a sight that was never seen before. Li Shimin was also puzzled. He had only decreed not to ban people's Spring Festival activities. If the situation allowed, the government could relax the curfew time appropriately.
"No need, haven't you seen that the government officials are maintaining order? It can be seen that these Chang'an orders are known, and there must be no obstruction, otherwise they would not be so relaxed!" Li Shimin shook his head and said.
He has no time to manage these matters now. Yesterday, officials from Shandong region reported that there was basically no snow in the area this year. It is estimated that the harvest will not be good next year, and the court must prepare early! Li Shimin was furious when he saw it. Are you ready?What to prepare?How can we prepare?The imperial court's current treasury is so empty that it can run away with rats.
If Anxiang Lai's business had expanded a lot this year, and the taxes and shares he received had also greatly increased, he didn't know if he would have survived this year.
But even in this way, I was still struggling. The money I had just received was taken away by the car before I could warm it up. Not to mention how heartbroken I was at that time.
There is no way, not to give. Now the whole country is waiting for the court's relief. If it doesn't come in time, it will cause a bigger disaster, which cannot be solved with this little money.
"What is that boy Ji Song doing during this time? I'm just surprised. Why does this boy really not know how to speak in official languages? Others wish that everyone in the world would know about their achievements, but he is so good. As long as he doesn't need to If the imperial court helps, he will never appear in front of me."
"It would be fine if I were an ordinary minister, but why do I feel uncomfortable when this guy does this?"
When Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling heard the emperor's words, they suppressed the corners of their mouths could they not know about the big move Ji Song made some time ago?Even Du Ruhui was deceived by that boy, and he was still suffering.
Not mentioning these, just mentioning that he had cultivated hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in just a few months, which completely made them look at Ji Song with admiration.
You should know that although the Division of Agriculture and Agriculture was initially separated, its scope of functions was also my family knows their own affairs.
They know better than anyone who are the people in the entire Sinong can be said that there is no official who can take action. Oh, by the way, the county magistrate of Haojue County is half of it!
But these people were able to develop [-] acres of land with just [-] on this alone, they couldn't have any doubt about Ji Song's ability.
What surprised them even more was that during this process, apart from asking the court for five hundred cavalry to maintain order at the beginning, it could be said that they never relied on the court at all.
Even the imperial edict to entrust the land was because the emperor took advantage of Ji Song. Although he had other purposes, taking advantage was taking advantage.
As for what the emperor just said, they automatically ignored Li Shimin said it as if Ji Song didn't respect him very much, they knew that if there were more ministers like this, the emperor would laugh out of his dreams.
When Li Shimin saw that several people did not answer his questions, he immediately felt bored. What happened to me?Why is it so difficult! "Let's go and see what our hero is doing? You don't know. Last time I went to his Sinong Temple incognito, he dared to scold me behind his back. It's simply unreasonable."
"It's still early, let's go see him. If he dares to be lazy, he'll get a beating. Well, let's beat him at the gate of Sinong Temple. I've wanted to beat this kid for a long time, but I haven't been able to catch him. If you have a chance, go in later and see what I do."
Li Shimin became a little excited as he spoke, and he took Chen Shou and left first without caring about them.
"I mean Xuancheng, your Majesty, isn't this a bit awkward?" Fang Xuanling was a little confused, thinking about what words to use to describe it better.
But Wei Zheng didn't care about this and said directly: "Shameless?"
"Uh!"
Pointing at Wei Zheng, I really don't know what to say. How could anyone speak so blatantly of the emperor?However, it sounds really refreshing!
Sinong Temple.
Ji Song went to work after the third grade of junior high school. It wasn't that he was very diligent, but there were just too many things to do. Until now, he didn't have a capable person to share these affairs, so he had no choice but to do it himself. .
After the beginning of spring, the weather gets promise of allocating land must be fulfilled immediately, otherwise there will be big problems.
But the knowledge here is great, and how to divide the land can be roughly fair, which will test the official's ability to govern.
There is also the resettlement of the refugees, whether to drive them back to their place of origin or to settle directly in Haorui County. These are all problems. Now he is two older than the other, and even Liu Zhan and Yao Chang, who are waiting for arrangements below, feel the pressure.
Yesterday's results were beyond Qiao Mu's surprise, at least several times better than Qiao Mu expected. Thank you all again. Qiao Mu will work hard to save manuscripts in the next period of time. After a while, it will start to explode every weekend.
Saving manuscripts is such a headache!
