After getting the secret book, Bi Goo took a small jar of chili oil. He didn't eat lunch and hurried back to the Political Affairs Hall.
Li Family Zhuangzi's chili oil was different from chili oil. It was more chili oil and made with chili powder.
Chili oil was less chili and made with chili powder.
They were both very spicy. The chili was the same, millet chili.
"Hotpot for lunch. I brought back a small jar." Bi Goo returned and shared the good news with everyone in the Political Affairs Hall.
"Bi Zaifu is really powerful. He suppressed Li Yi. Li Yi had to give something as an apology."
"Bi Zaifu should go more often. I want to eat Li Family Zhuangzi's fermented bean curd. It's not good outside."
"Li Family Zhuangzi's sweet and salted garlic taste better."
"Thanks to Bi Zaifu, we can't eat it."
Everyone praised. Someone ran to the dining hall and said that they didn't need to do anything else at noon. They wanted to eat hotpot.
Song Jing and Su Yi didn't believe that Bi Goo could take advantage of Li Yi.
What was there to be proud of when he went there and brought back some food?
Li Yi gave it to everyone, including the officials in the Political Affairs Hall. Small officials couldn't see Li Yi, but they could get something cheap.
Including the things they got from Li Family Zhuangzi every month according to the official's rank. They were used to it.
Usually, it was the family members who went. The officials didn't have anything to tell them.
You, the prime minister, went there early in the morning and brought back a small jar of chili oil. You have a lot of face.
"There's a way. When I went there and asked, Xiao Yi obediently …"
"Bi Goo, don't talk about irrelevant things. We all know." Song Jing had to interrupt Bi Goo's bragging.
"I asked him. He was fine with anything else, but he rejected the household registration and public inspection. He said that he didn't need to take anything. What he gave was a complete set of follow-up operations …"
Bi Goo became obedient and began to repeat what Li Yi had said. At the same time, he showed the extra copy that the palace maids and eunuchs had written.
"Under the premise of ensuring relief, this will pave the way for future development and solve the shortage of labor in the capital." Su Yi concluded after reading.
Song Jing, on the other hand, saw something else.
"It's not just to solve the population shortage, but also to increase the household register. Many of the fugitives will go to the capital office to re-register. "
Song Jing saw this. Population statistics.
The annexation of land was serious, and the number of refugees increased. The imperial court had no idea how many people there were in a place.
There were also some who 'sold' their fields to the people in the clan. This way, they would be considered as landless people.
If they were to become runaways again, they would still be able to continue farming, but they would no longer have to pay rent.
As the land in various places was gradually cleared and the land was rented, these people would have to 'buy' the land back.
If they bought the land back, they would have to re-register. This involved whether to ask the other party to pay for the previous rent.
He felt that it was impossible. They couldn't afford it. They had spent all the money they had. If they had to pay so much at once, it would drive them to death.
Thinking about this, Song Jing said, "Clear the land and rent should be accelerated. When the time comes, the other fugitives and mountain people will also be willing to have a place of origin."
"Of course! I believe that in a few years, Li Yi will give more benefits to the people of the Tang dynasty. There will be money. "
Bi Goo agreed. He wanted to urge this policy to be pushed forward.
Now, the local government was powerless to resist. His Majesty had his private army. The 16 guards were no longer a simple army with low combat power.
The Qianniu Guards were the ceremonial soldiers. They were tall and beautiful, but now they were all tanned.
They didn't rest at all during the winter. They trained in the snow as usual and even swam in the winter.
They didn't look so pale, but they looked more handsome. Their temperament had changed.
The key was that they had combat power. The long sabers they used before were wooden and painted.
Now, the long sabers were iron rods that were also painted.
Each saber weighed about 15 kilograms. If there was any danger, they could swing the sabers and chop.
His Majesty's army was powerful. When he implemented the government, the local families' will to resist was weak.
They used to worry that some government orders would violate the interests of the big families, and then the local families would revolt.
The imperial court had no soldiers to mobilize. They were relying on the Tujue and Tubo. The local soldiers' combat power was too weak.
They were not afraid now. Revolt, revolt, where should they mobilize the troops? Send troops directly from Chang 'an.
I will let you see the marching speed and combat power of the Winged Knights with three mounts each.
Therefore, a group of people called for a meeting of the standing committee to discuss the problems they faced.
…
The people of the capital government didn't worry about the state's affairs. They were dismantling the greenhouses.
It was the beginning of March according to the lunar calendar. According to the solar calendar, it was already late April.
The weather was warm, so there was no need for the greenhouses. The crops in the greenhouses were about to be planted.
Under sufficient sunlight, they could grow again with some water. Then, they planted the vegetables on the ground.
The greenhouses of Princess Yongmu's Zhuangzi were dismantled. The neighbors came to watch. They were curious about everything on Xiao Lan's Zhuangzi.
"Sure enough, it grows better than my greenhouses."
"They used mineral fertilizers and matched them to different fields. It's a pity that they didn't buy it last year."
"They bought it this year. Xiao Lan's Zhuangzi produces more vegetables than my family. It's a loss. How much money does it cost to buy fertilizer?"
"That's why Owner Li is so capable. Little Miss is so lucky."
"Don't say that. Why are you shouting when you're not married? How am I supposed to live? "
"I found a good person. Why don't I see my family?"
"They probably wanted to marry me to someone in the past, but … they took a fancy to me. How can I meet them? How embarrassing. "
"I'm afraid they don't live well. No one in the family can read. When they see that person, they feel inferior."
"That's because the in-laws are powerful. But that person is good. There's no need to worry."
The neighbors talked to each other based on their own guesses. Princess Yongmu pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Xiao Lan laughed heartlessly.
She laughed and even grabbed Princess Yongmu's arm and whispered, "Little Miss, our family is weak. We're the weakest family in the Tang dynasty. Hahaha ~ ~ ~"
"You talk too much. Go and see what else needs to be arranged." Princess Yongmu patted Xiao Lan's arm and also pursed her lips and laughed.
"There's no need to look for me. The people of the Li Family Zhuangzi have all been arranged. But our shop in the East Market is about to reach the top of the four-story building.
We don't have anything to sell. Go and ask Li Lang for it. If he gives us something, we'll sell it. The money from selling it will be yours.
We have to save up for our own dowry. Otherwise, what if we get bullied by our in-laws? "
Xiao Lan mentioned this again. She felt that the neighbors were interesting.
How could they tell that she and Xiao Lan were from a poor family? If her family really came over, they'd be scared to death.
Princess Yongmu's eyes were filled with anticipation. "It should be something interesting that's suitable for women. Li Lang knows a lot."
She gradually liked interacting with outsiders. Her introverted personality was changing. When she taught the neighbors' children, her mood became better and better.
Sometimes, the neighbors would send things over, and she would send some back.
However, she didn't have much contact with the Hu merchants protecting her around Zhuangzi. Most of the time, they were the ones helping to guard and work.
