I wish you a happy Lantern Festival. I haven’t slept all night and sent two chapters together. I’m afraid that I can’t make any mistakes when I drink in the afternoon.

Wu Zetian pondered for a while, and finally agreed.

After coming to Li Zhi's bedroom, after this period of rest, Li Zhi recovered a little and occasionally was able to handle some affairs with Wu Zetian. This is also what Wu Zetian needs. Whether the husband can handle government affairs has little impact on him, but it has a great impact on the court. He handled government affairs with one hand, and many ministers were still dissatisfied. The situation was completely different for the husband's handling. [bsp;    But as a wife, Wu Zetian was a qualified wife and was gentle and considerate to Li Zhi. However, as Wu Zetian's son, except for Li Hong enjoying some mother's care when he was a child, other sons did not enjoy the love of their mothers. After all, a person's energy is limited and it is impossible to take care of everything.

Seeing his cheap father, Li Wei bowed again.

After so many days, the anger gradually faded. Li Zhi's tone was not too bad and said, "Sit."

Li Wei huddled and sat down.

"Why do you think of me?"

"Father, my son-in-law has always been thinking about my father's body. I heard many deeds of filial sons along the way. My son-in-law was ashamed, so after returning to the capital, I immediately visited my father and mother."

Li Zhi snorted coldly, not believing it. He even said in his heart: You, I'm afraid you're here to see when I will die? But although this son is rebellious, he is concerned about the influence in some aspects and does not do too badly. The matter has developed to this point, and Li Zhi doesn't want to complain.

Li Wei said again: "There are some other things. My son is young and I don't know the importance of it. I will ask my father and mother for instructions..."

"What's up?"

"This time, Erchen went on a tour not only to look at the lives of the people, but also to build water conservancy. Guanzhong, especially Jingzhao, has relatively complete water conservancy. However, in other areas, there are many places where water conservancy is not perfect. Not only Hebei, Hedong, Henan, but also Shannan, who is in the south and Jiangnan Road. Erchen has seen some areas and asked some people, and has some ideas in his mind. Especially in the southeastern Jiangnan area, the water and soil are fertile, but because of the greek, the farming industry is backward. The Eastern Jin Dynasty moved south and brought a large number of talents, so polder fields gradually appeared. But most of them are spontaneously cultivated, and many areas are still in the greek area. In this way, there is a lot of room for development."

The most densely populated areas of the Tang Dynasty were in the area of ​​the Yellow River Grand Canal in Hebei, Yizhou in Jiannan, Guanzhong, and Jiangnan. When it was in the Tang Dynasty, Li Wei only wanted to save his life, but did not pay attention to it. Later, he gradually paid attention to this phenomenon. This is definitely wrong. As a later generation, China has the most densely populated areas, and almost even children know this problem. There is another saying that the lake is familiar and the world is full, that is, Huzhou and Changshu have a bumper harvest, and they can support the people of the world. Although the statement is a bit exaggerated, it can be seen that the grain output in the southeastern region of Jiangnan is.

But can it be achieved now?

It is a joke that the lake is familiar and the world is full. It is a big joke, that is, the population is. The Runzhou area, including the later Nanjing and Zhenjiang areas, had a population of only 300,000 to 400,000, which is likely to be less than the rural population of the two areas and a small county in later generations.

Then I asked.

There are many reasons. The first coastline has not extended, including the coastal areas of Yancheng, most of Shanghai, and most of Nantong, which are still below the sea level of the East China Sea. This is a factor. The second factor is that the Huai River has flooded many times, which is even more serious than the disaster of the Yellow River. This flood has been affected from the upper reaches of the Huai River to most parts of northern Jiangsu. The third is that the polder fields have not been planned in a unified manner. The polder fields appear in areas that should not have appeared, but instead blocked the waterways and waterways. There are many low-lying places. After repairing, tens of thousands of acres and hundreds of thousands of acres of large polder fields can appear. However, because the terrain is low-lying and hundreds of thousands of acres of polder fields are timid and have not started to cultivate well. Therefore, the records of Jiangnan in Tang poetry and some historical books of the Tang Dynasty are mostly four words, low-lying and humid. Was there any later? This reason is because many places are not managed, mostly caused by swamps, when the weather is hot, and moisture is surging.

The reason is very simple, but people all ignore it. First, the Tang Dynasty moved its center of gravity northward, and Jiangnan did not take much control. When it came to Lingnan, it would not be very well managed. If it weren't for the rise of sugar, Lingnan had just sent some officials to station, and one state would hand over a few feathers, two or three taels of gold, and a few local specialties. Second, people have not yet realized this problem. If it weren't for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the situation in Jiangnan would be worse. This alone would have a lot of room for development. But if it were to manage it, one mile, one township and one county would not be enough. Even if all the roads and states were unified in planning and working together, it would be possible to achieve the situation of Jiangnan in advance and the whole world would be sufficient.

With the latter measure alone, it is possible to increase millions of acres of fertile land. This number is not a small number, it may be the largest number. How many people can the fertile land in Jiangnan be supported by six or seven million mu of rich fertile land? Coupled with other water conservancy projects, as long as the court is willing to invest and take advantage of the situation, the pressure on the country's land may be immediately alleviated.

This refers to the current situation. In the future, the population will increase and the pressure on the field will continue.

But the crisis brought by the fields can be slowed down for decades.

Some Li Wei dare not say it, but the general reasons were explained one by one.

This is not a system of misleading names, and the benefits of offending are not great. However, if you do not seek the consent of your parents and only restrict them later, it will not be completed, and it may cause disputes.

After hearing this, Li Zhi was silent for a long time and said, "Hong'er, your heart is good, but when you move, what kind of pressure will the people have?"

"Father, my son-in-law knows that he does not expect local management. All funds can be taken from two channels. The court can take them out and send some capable officials to supervise the workers. In this way, some strong households in the local area dare not block too much. The court also has the right to control the land they have obtained. And my son-in-law has been thinking about a question: Our dynasty is favored and powerful, which is a prize. However, it has caused a serious consequence and is serious annexation. This phenomenon in the hands of my grandfather is not serious. It has been a year of power in the hands of my father, and it has been a year of power, and it has only been a few decades. Therefore, most of these lands are still handed over to the people of minority and landlessness to relieve the pressure of unevenness of the rich and poor. Father, my son-in-law also wants to say something, Taizong said that the people can overthrow the boat. This people not only refer to the gentry and nobles, but also to all ordinary people. Are Chen Sheng and Zhang Jiao aristocrats?

Li Zhi frowned and said, "You are in a good mood, but do you know how much money there is in the treasury?"

"This matter is not urgent. If you want to build a construction, you must plan it nationwide and measure the dikes of various rivers, canals, and it will not be completed in a few years."

This surveying and mapping project is very huge. It is necessary to measure the length, depth and width of the canal, water flow climate, as well as the impact on the waterway and other waterways. The wider the pier, the better. It is best to build the Yangtze River embankment and the Yellow River embankment. It is not as good as the payment, and it is not worth it. It also requires a reasonable length, width and height and the impact on the waterway. Not only that, it must be considered how much it costs, how much labor is needed, the sequence of the project, and the disputes with some involved wealthy families.

The cost may exceed two channels. Therefore, Li Zhi heard it and there are many benefits. But he thought that Li Wei's thoughts were a bit pedantic.

Li Wei continued: "As for money and silk matters, my son will solve them."

"How do you solve it?"

"By the time being, the two channels will be almost over and some of the funds will be withdrawn. This is one of them. The second one has another way to bring large sums of money to the country and have been implemented."

Li Zhi said nothing.

He stayed in Shangyang Palace because of his illness, but he had to ask about the big things. Li Zhi still knew about the matter, including the affairs of the Japanese envoy. He and Wu Zetian knew that it was a bending to save the country, but he had never asked about it. He was watching how his son continued the show.

This amount refers roughly to this.

Li Wei said again: "There is also the Zheng family and his rank. I will talk about it later, which can also increase the country's income."

Li Zhi was also paying attention to Li Wei who stayed in Zheng's house in Rongyang for several days, but he was well-educated. He didn't say anything about his son, and he didn't rush to ask questions.

Li Wei continued: "The father's health has recovered more and more, and the son-in-law is very relieved."

Li Zhi groaned again.

"My son is young, so it is probably very difficult to handle such a major matter. Therefore, after Liu Qing, Li Qing and Wei Qing returned from patrol, he wanted to hand it over to his father, mother, and his wife..."

This was not left to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian to handle it, but to increase their achievements. I haven't been long since I was going to write down another achievement in history books. Not only that, when I came back this time, it was a coincidence that Wu Chengsi did too much. However, his mother made a random match, which made Li Wei very ashamed. So there was a matter of Dongmeng Mountain.

There will be no more than three people who can come up with the truth. I am afraid that even Li Zhi will not understand it, but my mother must have doubts. There are many intentions to do this. If you do it nonsense, you will, and I will. It is best if everyone acts according to the rules and fight on the same score.

The basic code of this negotiation was added again. Li Wei said it well at the city gate and didn't care. However, except for these wise people, the one who doesn't believe it. As long as he believes, the spearhead will inevitably be directed at Wu Chengsi again. His mother can do whatever he wants, but he also does what he wants.

After the negotiations, nothing happened. But there was still some accumulation and impact on the mother. The mother was unfair. Can Li Wei not be afraid of this mother? So he took the initiative to give up the credit. After all, the disputes involved are not big, and as long as the funds keep up, it will be a great achievement.

Li Zhi's eyes flashed for a moment, and he didn't understand much.

Wu Zetian was very suspicious.

After patting his mother's little hand, Li Wei said: "My mother, my son said in Qinghai that no matter what the court looks like, as long as the mother is still alive, he must have the right to pass through the family. This is the power of wisdom. How many wisdom can be used in the world to match the father and queen. "The Great Biography of the Zhou Yi" says that brothers are united and their strength will be cut off. There is also a saying on the battlefield: Brothers go into battle to fight against father and son soldiers. The people say that family harmony is prosperous. My son is not too stupid by luck, and my father and mother are wise and wise, what else can't do well in the world?"

Let's join hands.

If we continue to fight, even a small martial arts ceremony has not been resolved until now because of the famous system.

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "I'm sure."

How can it be inaccurate?

Li Wei said the second thing. Before this was said, the Zheng family and his party in Xingyang must be told. Most of the time, there were a few places to skip it. Li Zhi was a little surprised to hear that the Zheng family was interested in marrying a daughter. This son was a little capable, so the five surnames and seven families did not hate him. But after all, he was a daughter of the five surnames and seven families. He also wanted status when he married into the Eastern Palace. At the time, the Cui family fought with the Pei family to marry the Eastern Palace for the sake of the Crown Princess. After the Crown Princess was revealed, the Cui family saw that the Crown Princess had no hope and did not mention it again. Although there was still a good wife, they didn't want it anymore.

Now the son not only has a crown princess, but also has a two-god concubine. What does the daughter of the Zheng family go to the East Palace to do?

It cannot be said that, the Zheng family knows that the Pei family’s daughter is weak and has a weak talent. She only has one point of stability, has a big belly, is virtuous and has poor competitiveness. She has two good deeds, but if the emperor is upgraded, the East Palace will be upgraded sooner or later. There are two good deeds, but after the upgrade, there will be four wives, and at least four concubines can occupy one. Once upgraded, the emperor fills up the four concubines and the Zheng family’s daughter remarries. Is it not too late to be the Jiujing now entering the East Palace? Maybe we can still compete for the future true queen.

Li Wei continued to talk.

After about it, Li Zhi was surprised again.

The Zheng family expressed a lot of goodwill during this trip, and Li Wei paid not high conditions. Once the sea quota is released, it can also bring more money to the court. A large amount of customs taxation is another long-term plan to make money. The more people sailing, the heavier the tariffs will be. Moreover, I have also seen a lot of money, and the conditions are slightly wider, which is not important.

The only bad thing is that this son is letting him do it instead.

But winning the cooperation of the five surnames and seven families means going back on your word. What does it matter?

As for what Li Wei said about bringing a group of Zheng's sons to the Imperial College and allowing another group of Zheng's sons to participate in the imperial examination, Li Zhi did not consider it at all. This may not be a condition, and the court was also trying to win over it, but the people were arrogantly ignoring it.

But not surprised yet.

When he heard Li Wei take charge and ask the Zheng family to marry Liang Jinzhu, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian said at the same time: "Hong'er, you're making trouble!"

"No, the Zheng family seems to have agreed."
Chapter completed!
