Chapter 22: Fighting the World
Second, it was no longer impossible. Later, the local forces of the Tang Dynasty were powerful, and any situation that became a domineering heart was the case. This situation was not the main reason, nor could it be irresponsible.
"Therefore, this battle between the ministers is also helpful to the court and the seven surnames. Prosperity will lead to decline. This is the law of the development of things. If the ministers win by chance, more poor families will see hope and confidence. This is like a pool of stagnant water, because the ministers will come alive. At the same time, because of more competition, these great families have begun to know how to cherish their feathers. At least when they annex the fields, they will consider where those people who have lost their land and cannot survive because of this!"
He was obviously attacking the seven surnames and ten families, but Wang Hua occupied the righteousness and squeezing the major forces was also in line with Wu Zetian's wishes.
But the facts are not enough to be crafty. For example, the land occupied by the Zheng family in Mengyang is not calculated in acres, but in hectares, that is, one hundred acres, and it also needs to be calculated in a row of tens of thousands of square kilometers. Even if it is replaced with square kilometers, it can be used as a unit of hundreds of square kilometers. I dare not say that there are thousands of square kilometers and hundreds of square kilometers of land. If these land is allocated, how many people will have land to cultivate?
At this time, the young minister of Sili, Zheng Gao, finally couldn't sit still. He was also a straight minister. If the minister Song Guangping called Zhang Yizhi a Lang, he also made him stab: "How can Zhongcheng Nai call him Lang?"
The name of the Tang Dynasty is in Xi. People seem a bit messy, but they know it themselves.
For example, this Lang can be used in the folk to respect the other party, but it is not possible in the officialdom. For example, when Zheng Dai saw Wang Hua, he shouted: "Erlang." That doesn't matter, there is no suspicion of flattery. On the contrary, it also means that he can put down his airs and treat others easily. But it is not possible in the officialdom. He must be called an official position, or a noble person, but he is flattering the other party.
Of course, he assassinated Song Guangping out of righteousness and his own contempt for the Zhang brothers, which outsiders do not know. However, it is much better than a group of flatterers.
But Wang Hua said it too harshly. He almost attributed the responsibility of the fleeing households and the battlefield ahead to the land, and put this reason on the seven surnames and ten families. In this way, wouldn’t the seven surnames and ten families become sinners for the ages?
He stood up and said, "You don't interrupt the matters of the seven surnames and ten families of the Wang family, and you are not qualified to do so. As you said, I don't say that there are more nobles and princes, rich and wealthy merchants, but I ask you one thing. Even if there is no such situation, the population is still increasing, and the land will not be enough to maintain the needs sooner or later. What do you think you should do?"
"Yes!" Wang Hua suddenly said loudly.
Everyone was shocked and said, "Don't compete." If you can solve this problem, you will be rewarded with the top scorer, so what if you can give me a top scorer!
"Then you think?" Wu Zetian also showed joy. If this problem is solved, even if he is sixteen years old, he can be appointed as a minister.
Wang Hua said: "There must be, but I haven't thought about many places clearly. Your Majesty, don't give me more. Give me five years to propose a good solution. At least some crises will be resolved. Your Majesty can drag my minister outside the Tianjin Bridge and behead him."
Although Wang Hua has been talking for five years, the latter sentence is very mean.
Therefore, it will also make people believe that he has some brittle thoughts.
Not only did it, but there must be, but Wang Hua did not dare to say that the construction of water conservancy and the manufacturing of new agricultural tools would be developed so that more land would be developed. But if it was not done well, the construction of water conservancy would become a big problem. Don’t build a Grand Canal like Yang Guang, and the country would eventually perish. This has to be done without disturbing the people.
There is also the conservative atmosphere of people today. I don’t take out good things, and the same is true for grain and fruit seeds. For example, Wang Cheng did something to make a fuss about plums. Cultivating excellent seeds, improving farming techniques, and increasing yield per mu is also a way. Another way is to seeds, cotton is easy to work with, and there are also travels in the natural barriers. As for corn and sweet potatoes, it is not impossible to achieve, but this requires a suicide squad to cross the ocean. The Tang Dynasty did not have this kind of shipbuilding technology, but there is a more difficult road, crossing the Bering Strait and freezing in winter.
This is the governance of the surface, and the governance of the internal affairs is like the one in the Song Dynasty. But this is even more difficult. First, change your views on merchants, and the tax laws must also be changed. This causes more controversy, and the one who suffers is Wang Hua, who may be scolded by Qingliu, but the one who benefits these big families, authentically harming oneself and enemies. Wang Hua is not so noble yet.
Therefore, my wife dare not say anything about painting.
Wu Zetian thought for a while and said, "Wang Er, your rule is just a reason, not a complaint. It's very reluctant."
This reason is not valid.
Wang Hua had no choice but to say, "Please forgive me again. These aristocratic families have played with the ministers so many times, and the ministers also want to play with them last time. OK?"
It's really good. It's fair to allow people to abuse him and to abuse him.
"Okay, I'm just one sentence, why bother to talk so much? But Lian asked you, what do you compare with others? You are the number one talented man in the world!"
Wang Hua bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I have something. Can I show you something to you quietly?"
Seeing his grimace, Wu Zetian couldn't help but laugh. She asked, "Why did you recite it? Secretly! Show it to the couplet?"
He said face to face! "Everyone can only open his eyes to His Majesty Yan. If others see it,... they will lose their hearts."
Another sentence is open to the eyes. The ministers want to be happy but not happy. Today, everyone is really open to the eyes. Only some ministers from major families, looking at Wang Hua's performance, were very disdainful like watching a clown. If you lose, you will lose!
After Wang Hua finished speaking, he pointed to the scroll in his arms. This was specially brought to Luoyang. Now Wu Zetian is stopping this competition. He wants evidence to convince her, so he brought some prepared things over.
Needless to say, this is what he intends to compete for the articles, poems, music scores, or chess scores. Some ministers want to go over and take this scroll down and open it to watch. What kind of thing is that he dares to challenge the literati in the world?
When Wu Zetian saw that she knew it, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, Lian will agree to you this time, what you recited, quietly, follow Lian."
He really indulged Wang Hua and took Wang Hua to a side hall. Lao Wu said, "Okay, little guy, hand over the things."
It turned out to be a robbery, but in fact she was no exception. She was also curious and always wanted to have a sneak peek.
Wang Hua handed the scroll to her. When the old Wu opened the scroll, he saw that it was some articles and poems, which were also what she and Su Jijiu were worried about. But after looking through a picture, his face became solemn, and he asked, "Is this what you wrote?"
Wang Hua had no choice but to answer: "If it wasn't written by Xiaochen, who else would it be?"
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and a huge candle was lit in the hall. Wu Zetian began to read carefully in the candlelight. After a long time, he said, "It seems that the Lian is still underestimating you. It makes sense that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Lian is correct."
He said that, he walked out with Wang Hua.
However, when Wang Hua left, he placed the scrolls on a candle and burned them.
Wu Zetian understood, but when he looked at these Jinsui articles, he became ashes in a blink of an eye, and he still felt very sorry.
The two of them came out and Wu Zetian announced: "Since you want to compete with talented people in the world, it is also a literary story, but remember it well, it is mainly about competition, and don't mention any bets, no paintings for life, no poetry for life, and no writing for life. If you lose, can you participate in the spring exam without writing?"
Even though he said so, the tasty style changed. What did Wang Hua show the emperor? Many ministers looked at Wang Hua suspiciously.
Wang Hua gave a tribute and said, "The little minister follows the order."
"Okay, go, this banquet is for the couple to entertain the ministers. If you want to attend this banquet, work hard during the imperial examination. The couple is waiting for you."
After saying that, Lao Wu laughed and the little guy liked to drive people away, and it was Lian's turn to chase you away.
Wang Hua was very depressed and thought to himself, Lao Wu, you can't be so stingy even for a meal. You dare not complain, and then said, "Abide by the order."
Wu Zetian thought for a while and said, "Don't leave. Since it's a communication, the alliance will help you arrange a good place. There is also a villa in Qinghua Fangxiangwang, so you can hold it where you can."
Qinghuafang is located on the east side of the imperial city, next to the Xuanren Gate of the imperial city, and there is also a small lake in the south gate. However, the people living in this area are either rich or noble.
Why did Lao Wu make such an arrangement?
The King of Xiang is Li Dan. Last September, the crown prince Li Chongrun, his sister Princess Yongtai and his son-in-law Wu Yanji, and his son-in-law Wu Yanji, were talking about Lao Wu's favor for Er Zhang, and was forced to commit suicide by Wu Zetian. On the surface, it was Lao Wu who actually killed his grandson and granddaughter for one. In fact, it was true. Thinking of another thing, shortly after this incident, Lao Wu arranged for the King of Xiang Zhi to the General of the Yulin Guard. In fact, Lao Wu was afraid that the King of Xiang was usurped her throne and used the King of Xiang to divide Li Xian's power.
It's a balance.
In fact, if Li Xian really had the ambition to usurp her throne, she should be proud, her son is promising. Li Xian has now become a coward.
The more Lao Wu’s fortune is, the more chaotic it becomes.
Thinking of this incident and the vague marriage, Lao Wu would rather he get closer to the King of Xiang than to get too close to Li Xian.
Is this necessary?
Wang Hua still didn't dare to say it, he bowed and said, "My little minister thanked the Lord for his kindness."
The word "Lord of the Lord" has not appeared yet, and it was only found in the plays later.
Anyway, Wang Hua had never stayed in the court, and his name was chaotic, but these four words made Lao Wu feel very comfortable. So he said again: "You might as well go quickly, don't hinder our banquet."
Wang Hua looked at the wine and food on the table, scratched his head, and left in shame.
Looking at his embarrassed figure, Lao Wu laughed happily again, Huo! Little guy, he actually came to ask Kechen to ask you. Trouble him!
Wang Hua walked out of the hall and his expression immediately became solemn. His current age is also a good disguise. Of course, he would know to take advantage of this advantage. Although he did not have an official position, in fact, he had entered the court with one foot and even joined the court. Therefore, be careful!
Just as she was about to leave the palace under the eunuch's guidance, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of her. There was a beautiful woman in the middle. She was standing and staring at Wang Hua.
