As June passed halfway, but there was still no rain in Guanzhong, Li Shimin sent Changsun Wuji to pray for rain. If the drought continued, he was afraid that he would have sent Fang Xuanling to go, which was really annoying!
To be honest, the sky was clear and cloudless this day, and it was the best weather to take it out alone.
But this weather has lasted for more than two months, and it has become a disaster. At least many areas can't be planted.
To be honest, the weather itself made Li Shimin not annoyed, but after this drought, it turned into a locust plague. The locust plague came again after the locust plague. The continuous disasters gave Li Shimin no chance to take a breath.
Even though Li Shimin was quite strong inside, he could not help but wonder if he was really a disgraceful person.
Otherwise, why would you cause such an annoying natural disaster every year after you ascend the throne?
However, when I think of this, I can't help but think of Li Tai, who is properly resettled in Gaoling, who is absorbing a large number of refugees.
When Li Tai revealed his talents during his administration, Li Shimin felt comforted.
Although God did not like himself as the emperor, God finally gave him a very capable son.
At this moment, the Gaoling area where Qingque is located has become a real population sucking stone in Guanzhong. Any refugees who come to Chang'an City will basically be constantly sucked by the Gaoling population black hole, and these refugees seem to be unable to come out again.
But the most important thing is that although refugees continue to enter Gaoling, the order of Gaoling has not been destroyed.
On the contrary, these refugees integrated into the emerging city of Gaoling at an incredible speed and became one of them.
The refugees are working hard at this moment, as if the city belongs to these refugees. The enthusiasm that these people burst out, anyone who has passed by Gaoling, is afraid that they will be somewhat dull because they are working too hard.
.
To be honest, Li Shimin couldn't understand Li Tai's operations, and many officials in Chang'an City did not understand how Li Tai used a high-top to absorb so many refugees, turning them into people, and then worked hard to work here.
After all, even if you divide the land, there are not so many acres of land!
This made many idle members of the court take leave and go to Gaoling for a walk, just treating it as a trip for a day.
I don’t have much advanced learning. As long as I use it in disasters, I might be a good official.
Just when Li Shimin was a little distracted, Du Ruhui walked in with a row of official documents as usual and said to Li Shimin,
"Sage, these memorials have made preliminary annotations and suggestions, and I also ask the saint to review it!"
"I remember that yesterday I read the dispatch list of the official officials of the Ministry of Personnel. Where did you get so many memorials?" Li Shimin was slightly stunned when he looked at Du Ruhui, "And today, it's your turn, where is Xuanling?
”
The officials of the Tang Dynasty had a vacation, and of course if they were workaholics, you could continue to work.
However, this kind of person-made officials is quite jealous. After all, what anyone hates most in the career are those incest products.
In an environment where you could have free fishing, after these catfish came in, they could no longer be a happy salted fish.
The most important thing for Fang Xuanling to be able to sit firmly on the Shangshu Pushe is that he should work and rest, and there is no way to lose his word.
In comparison, Du Ruhui is a workaholic. He should have been a rest day, but he is struggling.
This naturally led to the dawn below him working hard, but in the same way, such a guy can only be said to be ordinary in his colleague relationship.
"Mr. Changsun asked for rain for the saint. I am not familiar with the position of the Minister of Shangshu Youpushe, so I dare not slacken. So I asked myself to exchange it with Duke Wei." Du Ruhui told Li Shimin truthfully.
"So that's it!" Li Shimin nodded, and when he heard Du Ruhui's words, he asked his servant to take the documents from Du Ruhui's hand.
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Shimin said, "No, Fang Xuanling has always been a Zhou Zheng in his work, but it is not something you can change if you want!"
"Maybe it was because Duke Wei was very worried and wanted to leave Chang'an City and also wanted to take a walk!" Du Ruhui said with a smile.
"Tsk!" Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned, but he looked at Gao Ling and shook his head as if he had thought of something.
Therefore, not only those officials who wanted to steal the army, Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Fang Xuanling, the Wei State, also rode together on horseback and brought two teams of servants to Gaoling County.
Because they didn't understand why Li Tai could easily appease these to the refugees, and Gaoling County developed incredible with its rapid development.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou looked at Gaoling. At this moment, there were wooden walls outside Gaoling County.
So this time I came to Gaoling County, there was a city gate, and it was no longer the area where I could travel freely.
There are two city gates, one city gate can enter and exit freely, and there is no restriction.
But if there are people in ragged clothes, especially those who fail to pass the customs after being questioned, then go to the next city gate according to the identity of a refugee to queue up.
After re-registration, they will obtain new identities and are considered to be people from Chang'an.
To be honest, because there was no city wall, Li Tai did not ask someone to test the public at all.
Because this is not a city, only those cities that build walls are qualified to verify.
If you don’t have a city wall, you are naturally not considered a formal county town.
But after the city walls, it will be different, so you must abide by the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty.
The same thing is said, you can rely on yourself as the prince, and you can play side balls in a harmless place.
But if you want to take over the identity of being a prince and think that you can ignore all laws and regulations, then you will be too naive.
This excessive demand will eventually pay the price of your own willless acts like a long-storage mountain torrent on one day.
To be honest, Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou really wanted to see how those refugees deal with them.
But after entering the city gate, they found that although the two city gates were in one direction, the refugee's gate entered and directly isolated it with wooden fences...
Isolated!
The refugees walked around the city walls and did not directly enter the city of Gaoling, but needed additional arrangements.
Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou looked at each other and stopped at the city gate. They were not visiting Gaoling County.
Instead, I wanted to see how Li Tai dealt with these refugees, but in the end I parted ways with them at the same distance.
What kind of world is this?
However, the guards at the city gate were also quite eye-catching. Seeing the two old men riding horses stop at the door, there were some servants around, and they guessed that the other party should be an official.
He hurriedly walked up and said, "I'm asking if the visitor is a noble man from Chang'an. I came here to see how Gaoling properly resettled those refugees."
"You guard have such a good eye!" Dai Zhou praised when he heard the guard's words, and then said, "Please also inform Guardian."
"This is a common thing. Chang'an scholars often come to ask." The guard said naturally.
"I would like to ask the noble person to go to another door and directly inform the guards there that you want to visit the process.
At that time, pay Yiguan, and you will be allowed to visit all the way. Someone will guide you to the next place when you arrive.
Pay the Wuguan Academy will introduce students from the Agricultural University. If you have any questions, you can ask and understand the procedures for the conversion of refugees.
If you pay ten jin, you will give you a whistle. If you are tired from walking, as long as you blew the whistle at some checkpoints, you will be picked up by carriages. At the same time, when you go to certain long-distance locations, you will also use carriages.
Or a ox cart.”
"Can't our followers and horses go in?" Dai Zhou frowned when he heard the guard's words.
“It is not, but the amount of livestock and people is required to pay extra for each person and every horse.
If a noble person doesn’t think it’s expensive, it’s okay to bring in many people.” The guard continued to explain.
"This King of Yue's technique of accumulating money is indeed unique. He can find a way to make money anywhere!" Dai Zhou sighed.
"However, for officials who are interested in being an official, if they can see how to deal with the victims, then this money will be worthwhile.
Moreover, if you want to provide disaster relief, you will spend money like flowing water. You can scrape some oil and water from us officials. For these people, you can have another family to have food and clothing!"
Fang Xuanling was very open-minded about the scene in front of him and felt somewhat consolation towards Dai Zhou.
"Okay, okay, you'll think about it for someone!" Dai Zhou pulled Fang Xuanling and said, "Then go to another door!"
Soon, Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou brought people to another city gate.
After approaching, Fang Xuanling and others found that this place was a passage with enough carriages to keep moving forward, and there were people stationed every ten steps on one side of the passage.
At the same time, wooden walls were separated and an additional corridor was built, where you can still see the coming and going on this corridor.
However, compared to the numbness and confusion of the victims, many scholars are laughing and scolding at this moment. Some people even pointed at these victims, as if they had never seen such a scene. Now they have finally seen each other once, so they have come.
Growing knowledge.
A corridor that is not as spacious as a hallway is isolated into two worlds, which makes Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou extremely painful after seeing it.
Dai Zhou was about to take a photo and approach, but was pulled by Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling shook his head at Dai Zhou because Fang Xuanling knew that scholars and refugees were almost two completely different creatures.
Fang Xuanling said to the guard, "This guard, we each brought ten servants in, and hired one of our students to explain the meaning of it. In addition, we are old and need a ox cart or two to travel.
This is a private capital, please accept it!"
Fang Xuanling took out a few golden leaves and handed them over to the city gate guards.
To be honest, Fang Xuanling doesn’t have many places to spend money. If he hadn’t decided to go to Gaoling today, he wouldn’t have brought Jinyezi with him. After all, I don’t know why Gaoling’s place costs money very quickly!
The guard quickly took it carefully, and then gave all the people a piece of white paper printed by the Agricultural College and two whistles.
As a guard in Gaoling County, he should have the ability to have the eyesight. Those who can use gold leaves these days are either rich or noble!
The guard bent over carefully and said, "Tell the nobles that when the whistle is blown at the designated location, you can attract two empty ox carts or carts to rent. In addition, there are already coachmen on the ox carts or carts, and you will be sent to the designated location.
In addition, please hold this test carefully. Every time you pass by, you will stamp it with a seal.
After the entire process is completed, with this note and six seals, Gaoling will give you a book "Friends of Farmland Talents" latest compiled by the Agricultural University.
This is a summary of the farming knowledge of agricultural institutions over the past year.”
Dai Zhou and Du Ruhui looked at each other, but were a little surprised.
They didn't know if Li Tai was too pragmatic or understood the character of the scholar too much.
I believe that scholars would not be happy to collect money, but now as long as this road is full, there will be books to send. No matter what book it is, as long as it is a book itself, it has a strong attraction to scholars.
After all, this book is always the same, but in this generation where knowledge is monopolized by aristocratic families, it is so cheap that you can always buy a book!
"I have met two noble people. I am Chen Kai, a student of the Agricultural University. I have the honor of being a tour guide to explain the two noble people the problems encountered on the road related to the integration of homeless people into Gaoling. I don't know what to call Er.
A noble man.”
Soon, Chen Kai, as the tour guide who was arranged, came to the two of them and spoke.
"You call me Mr. Wei, call him Mr. Dai!" Fang Xuanling said kindly, "Chen Lang, please take us with you."
Chen Kai was not very polite, so he led Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou into it.
Who are Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou? If you want to get Chen Kai, it will be from the beginning to the end.
Chen Kai said these are two very wise old men who treat others gently and politely, sharply and keenly ask questions. If he hadn't been lazy, he would have been unable to withstand it long ago.
But Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou had already figured out Chen Kai's foundation clearly, and it was probably not as good as Tong Sheng.
The Four Books and Five Classics can only be said to be able to memorize them, and they can’t even understand them, but when it comes to farming, they can talk a few words.
The most important thing is that you like to speak with data, which is the most essential difference from the normal scholars who like to quote scriptures and classics.
Although this subtle difference is not very obvious, Fang Xuanling can see through it almost at a glance.
Because Fang Xuanling has experienced so many years, he has gradually formed a kind of instinct that the more he knows about the other person, the more he can simulate the other person's thinking.
It is precisely this instinct that allows Fang Xuanling to sit in the Tang Dynasty court for so long.
At the same time, it was also possible for Fang Xuanling to cut the bureaucracy of 2,000 people to 600 people in the early days of Zhenguan.
However, the emergence of this new thinking mode makes Fang Xuanling feel very novel.
Although it is still very immature, I have some absolute confidence in mathematics, as if only it will not deceive myself.
"It's a pity that only one year has passed, and I can't see anything. If it takes a long enough time, can it bear different fruits!"
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sigh, as the saying goes, Li Tai's establishment of an agricultural institution may not be possible in a year, but this short time can cultivate a unique thinking.
Fang Xuanling was a little curious about how these people would become pillars of the Tang Dynasty in the end.
