Great Tang Broom Star

"Husband."

"What is it?"

"I'm pregnant."

Yang Deli was stunned.

Then he invited the midwife to come and see him overnight.

As for doctors, the status of doctors in the Tang Dynasty is not high, and there are not many doctors. The most experienced in such matters are midwives.

"I'm pregnant."

After questioning, the midwife said firmly.

"Ping'an will have a child, and you will be pregnant, so it can be seen that the sky is immortal!"

Yang Deli picked up the big girl and threw it a few times, very proud.

The first child was a daughter, and instead of complaining, he continued to wait.

But Lao Yang's family was also destroyed, and he was the only seedling left. If he had no son, Lao Yang's family would be wiped out.

"Miss, please rest and do not work."

Yang Deli cooks, and after breakfast, he tells her to be good, and to call someone next door if she has something to do.

Then he went out, and when he passed by his father-in-law's house, he shouted, "My husband, my wife is pregnant."

The door opened, Zhao Xianhui glanced at him, and then rushed into Yang's house, "Big lady!"

Wang Xueyou also came out to take a look at him, and rushed into Yang's house, "Big lady!"

What's going on here? Yang Deli was stunned.

Wang Dachui came out and glanced at him, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Well!

"You all fell asleep last night."

Wang Dachui was speechless, and went into the next door, "Amei!"

"am I wrong?"

Yang Deli shook his head, seeing that his father-in-law's door was open, he wanted to close it.

On the wall, black and white heads popped out.

"Beep!"

"Ah Fu!"

Jia Pingan went out of the house and came over to take a look, "How dare you run away! Go home!"

Ah Fu looked at his father with a pure face, and then slowly shrank back.

Ever since the child was born, Ah Fu was a little scared and avoided going into the backyard.

"Don't worry." Jia Pingan had a headache, "Cousin, why don't you go?"

"The lady is pregnant."

"Hey! Good thing!"

Jia Pingan knew that his cousin wanted to have a baby boy, so he was very happy.

"Beep!"

Ah Fu came out, hugging Dad's thigh and not letting go.

"What does this mean?"

Jia Ping'an wants to go to the Yamen, but Ah Fu doesn't give up.

"Peace, I'm leaving first."

Yang Deli is not Jia Ping'an, as the most diligent official in the household department, he is never late, let alone leave early like his cousin.

When he arrived at the household department, Yang Deli first went to his boss to show his face to Chang Lin.

Xiang Changlin was packing up the case and looked up at him, "Recently, Cangbu has done a good job."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang.

"

Yang Deli was ready to go back with a smile.

"etc."

Xiang Changlin called to stop him, "Discuss immediately."

"Is there something wrong?"

Yang Deli went to help. He has been used to work since he was a child, and his hands and feet are nimble.

Xiang Changlin straightened his back, thumped his back with his backhand, and said with a smile: "You are fast in your hands and feet, work hard, and you may not be able to go directly to Yuanwailang in the future."

"Impossible?" Yang Deli longed for an affirmative answer in his heart, so he made it impossible on purpose, "Yuan Wai Lang is from the sixth grade! The next official is far behind."

"Think about Ma Zhou in the late emperor's time."

Yang Deli, "..."

Although he is easy to learn, his foundation is too weak after all, and he doesn't even know Ma Zhou's resume.

Xiang Changlin smiled, "Ma Zhou was an official, and he became a censor in the second year. Most officials in the Tang Dynasty were promoted step by step, but there are exceptions. If you can stand out... I remember the last time Gao Shangshu said Speaking for your promotion, isn't it just a memorial?"

The last time Gao Xing kept his word, he really sang praises for Yang Deli in the memorial, but some people said that Yang Deli was ignorant, how could he be lucky?

For this reason, Gao Xun even had a dispute with those people, and said harsh words, saying that no one can erase the credit for this, and they will count it together next time.

It seems there is hope!

Yang Deli couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Everyone came later.

"close the door."

As soon as the door was closed, the value room became warmer, but it was a little dark.

Xiang Changlin coughed dryly, "Start discussing..."

Things were told one by one, everyone brainstormed, and finally made a decision to Changlin.

After the discussion was over, Gao Xing came to a small official.

"Xiang Langzhong, Gao Shangshu will immediately go to the palace to prepare for inquiries, and ask who in the warehouse department is familiar with the situation of the granaries in various places."

Everyone looked at Yang Deli.

Want to see His Majesty?

Yang Deli was excited for a while.

After entering the palace later, Yang Deli followed behind Gao Xing, step by step, not daring to miss a step.

Look at those palaces, how majestic!

In the past, he asked his cousin what the palace was like, and the cousin said it was just like that, a group of palaces, plus a group of palace people.

Is the court lady beautiful?

My cousin said he didn't see clearly.

How could I not see clearly?

It is rumored that all the beauties in the world have entered the palace to serve His Majesty, and any woman they meet in the palace will be like a fairy.

There are women!

Out of the corner of Yang Deli's eyes, he saw a few court ladies on the right.

He glanced ahead first.

Gao Xun walked vigorously, and the servant who led the way walked carefully...

After all, he is Changsun Wuji's cousin, so he can't afford to offend him.

No one noticed, the opportunity came!

Yang Deli quickly glanced to the right.

The leading lady...

Square face, slightly sunken cheeks, a pair of dull eyes...

This is a beauty?

Yang Deli coughed dryly, disappointed.

I remember when he was in Huazhou, he squatted at the door of his house and looked at the women in the village when he was fine. Although I was poor at that time, I was poor and happy!

Now that I am an official, why am I not happy?

Yang Deli was confused.

When the front stopped, he stopped all entanglements.

What do I think these are for?

There is money and food every month, and there are wives and children at home. These days were unimaginable before.

At that time, the old Jia's family was in such a miserable state that he decided not to get married and take care of his cousin for the rest of his life.

So... what am I still struggling with?

Yang Deli looked up, with a look of joy on his brows.

What a great day!

The servant went in to report, and then came out to take them in.

Yang Deli lowered his head, followed Gao Xing into the main hall, and immediately saluted.

He didn't even dare to lift his head, only hearing the voices of arguing.

"Now Tubo has got rid of internal troubles and is sharpening its sword. Goryeo is also staring at Silla, trying to cut off future troubles. Ashina Helu failed this time, but what about the next time? If he can succeed next time Anxi stirs up wind and rain, how to deal with it?"

Cui Dunli talked eloquently, "The government soldiers should not be hoarded in the frontier fortress too much. In this way, the number of people from various places going to Chang'an should be increased, and troops should be hoarded in Chang'an. If there is something wrong with each party, Chang'an will send troops."

Changsun Wuji frowned, "But Chang'an is short of food, and the population will increase. There must be not enough food. This old man thinks this is inappropriate."

"Why is it wrong?"

Cui Dunli was originally the minister of the Ministry of War, and he had long suggested increasing Chang'an's military strength, but he suggested it again today, and started arguing with Changsun Wuji.

"food!"

Changsun Wuji said: "It is difficult to transfer food in Luoyang, and the population cannot be increased."

Cui Dunli felt that Changsun Wuji was too pedantic, "Even if there is no increase in troops, there will be a large number of new people in Chang'an every year, but Changsun Xianggong is a little bit out of food because of choking."

Changsun Wuji was slightly angry: "During the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an had poor harvests from time to time, so I had to go to Luoyang to eat. Chang'an had a bumper harvest last year, but how will this year be, who can guarantee? If there is not enough food, should His Majesty bring a group of people to eat?" Will the minister and the army go to Luoyang again?"

Cui Dunli smiled slightly, "I have to ask the Ministry of Accounts about this matter."

Changsun Wuji glanced at Gao Xing, "If you want to settle this matter, don't talk about it for three or five days, so let's put it aside for now."

Li Zhi listened for a while, then nodded slightly at this moment, "The household department will talk about it first."

Gao Xingxing said: "Your Majesty, the minister is generally aware of this matter, and there will be no problem with the supply of Chang'an stored grain this year."

This is the basic data, which is known not only by high-level executives, but also by the prime ministers. This is also the root of Cui Dunli's suggestion.

Li Zhi nodded, "In this way, I have confidence in my heart."

Changsun Wuji asked, "How much can Chang'an store in surplus?"

Well!

This data is constantly changing, and Gao Xing is not clear about it, "I don't know about this matter, but..."

He pointed to Yang Deli, "Yang Deli, head of the household department, knows."

Yang Deli was trembling all over, "Minister... Xiaguan... Xiaguan..."

Changsun Wuji frowned. "What are you panicking about?"

"Your officer... don't panic!"

Li Zhi smiled slightly, "Speak well."

"yes!"

Yang Deli said, "Chang'an...a long-term store of food..."

He lowered his head and spoke more and more fluently.

"...Jiyou granary stores 3,390 shi of grain."

"...Bingding warehouse stores 5,400 stones of grain..."

At first, the monarch and his subjects just listened calmly, but gradually they became a little surprised.

The last time Li Zhi met Yang Deli, he remembered that he was a very serious courtier. But looking at it today, this courtier is not only serious, but also doing his job extremely well.

This is the official!

The emperor likes this kind of courtier the most!

"...This year seems to be enough, but this is an estimate of this year's harvest. If the harvest changes..."

Yang Deli lowered his head, "Your Majesty, the harvest is uncertain! I remember that it snowed heavily that year, and the old farmers in the village said that the harvest would be bumper next year. But the second year was drought, and the harvest was poor..."

Monarchs and ministers are silent.

Yang Deli was able to calculate the grain stored in the household department clearly. This is not a skill, but after he calculated it clearly, he can still remember clearly. He even knows exactly how much grain is stored in which warehouse. What is this?

Officials!

Cui Dunli asked, "How do you remember it so clearly?"

Changsun Wuji smiled, "It's just more serious."

He knew a little about Jia Ping'an's cousin, and everyone said that he was serious.

Li Zhi also laughed, "I've seen it before last time. But the more serious servant... I think it's a compliment."

The officials laughed lightly, and the atmosphere was very happy.

Yang Deli raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have been living with my cousin all these years, and I have never had enough to eat. To me, food...is a gift from heaven, and every grain of food should not be wasted...But any money and food, Once you see it, you will never forget it."

Li Zhi nodded, "Every grain of grain should not be wasted. That's a good saying. The palace consumes a lot of grain every year. Is there any waste? I think there must be. Can there be any official houses? There must be.

It is not easy for farmers to farm. When the late emperor was here, he took me and the princes to farm, but it was just for show, and I felt it was too hard. Even if this is the case, what about those farmers who work in the fields every day? "

He got up and walked over, looking at Yang Deli carefully.

Yang Deli was at a loss, blushing like a monkey's butt, and quickly lowered his head.

Li Zhi couldn't help smiling, "I remember you, I remember that you are a serious person. After listening to you say this today, I know that you are still a cadre. So I ask you, what if there is not enough food in the world? "

Gao Xing took a look at Li Zhi, "Your Majesty, this problem is a bit bigger."

Cui Dunli also agreed, feeling that the emperor had come on a whim and wanted to test Yang Deli. But these questions should be answered by the prime minister. As a ninth-rank official, how can he have such a vision?

This is so familiar!

Yang Deli remembered the matter of discussing the foundation of the Tang Dynasty with his cousin after drinking.

At that time, they talked about everything about astronomy and geography, and his cousin's profound knowledge made Yang Deli feel like a treasure, and he wrote down many opinions.

"Your Majesty, anything is fine?"

Does he really want to answer?

Li Zhi was indeed impulsive, and now he has regretted it.

But Yang Deli seemed to want to answer, so let's just listen.

He nodded slightly, "Just say it."

Yang Deli sniffed, "Actually... Datang has a lot of food."

"where?"

Cui Dunli asked with great interest.

Yang Deli said: "There is a scary amount of food in the rich and powerful's house, but they never take it out..."

The faces of the prime ministers were a little ugly.

This is your idea?

Yang Deli continued: "The most important thing is to clear out those hidden households, as well as those fields that have been embezzled... If they are cleared out, plus the fields that are not taxed by the temple, at least 10% more food will be added every year. "

Monarchs and ministers are silent.

If the food can be increased by more than 10% every year, why worry about it? Li Zhi dared to wave his hand now and directly fight Gao Li. If Tubo dares to make a move, then come.

But this is not realistic.

If you move these, you will shake the foundation of Datang.

"These don't move well."

Huh!

Li Zhi originally thought that Yang Deli was ignorant, but he didn't expect to know.

not bad.

Courtiers can be serious, but they can't be ignorant of the seriousness.

Yang Deli looked up, "These can't be moved at the moment. But one of them can be moved."

"What?"

"Water conservancy."

Yang Deli said: "Everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, let's say Huazhou. Some canals built in the Sui Dynasty were blocked, and the local officials didn't care at all. It was okay on weekdays, but when there was a drought that time, the canals became decorations."

He said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think that all officials want to be promoted, and the court has also set the criteria for promotion, such as persuading agriculture and mulberry, persuading students... But I think these are not as good as one thing... building water conservancy! "

"Building water conservancy needs money and food."

Someone asked this question.

"But this is a book of great profit." Yang Deli forgot his fear, and stared, "I spent money and food to build water conservancy projects today... But look at the ones built in the Sui Dynasty. They have been watering those fields for decades. Dozens Years! Increase income by 10% to 20% every year, how much can increase income in decades? Is it worth the money and food for building canals? It’s a big profit!”

This is something that is obvious at a glance.

But most of the prime ministers have extraordinary backgrounds, and no one realizes this. So much so that some people in later generations murmured that compared with the former Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was more like a nomadic people and did not like water conservancy projects.

But Yang Deli is different!

He came from the bottom, farmed the land with his own hands, and was hungry with his cousin. He knew the importance of water conservancy projects to farmers and food production.

His words were like a thunderbolt, which made the monarchs and ministers in the court stunned.

"Your words..."

After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he had many concerns, but water conservancy was not one of them.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the entire Central Plains has experienced good weather and good harvests every year. This is also the confidence that Datang can attack in all directions.

And more critical is the population.

"Your Majesty, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, the population withered and there were too many fields. The more fields, the more output, and the less the population, the less food."

Yang Deli remembered the words of his cousin: Don’t think of those important ministers in the temple as omnipotent masters. They are powerful, but that is only one side of them. In many ways, they are inferior to the old farmers in the countryside.

"At that time, there was enough food, and officials were tested on the amount of reclaimed land, the increase or decrease in the number of households, the increase or decrease in harvests, and the increase or decrease in taxes." Yang Deli talked eloquently, with extra confidence.

——At the beginning, he was convinced by his cousin's words, and it is the same now.

Li Zhi looked at Yang Deli and felt that this serious official was a bit surprising.

But it was a good statement.

He nodded slightly.

"However, the Tang Dynasty has been in good weather for decades, and the number of households will naturally increase. Most of them are bumper harvests, and taxes are mostly increased... It seems that the world is peaceful, but Your Majesty..."

Yang Deli felt that the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were a little bit adrift. "The minister encountered a drought in Huazhou before, and the local officials were helpless. When the drought was over, the officials still ignored it. They all said that the weather will be smooth in the next year..."

"Kechen looked along those ditches back then, and many of them were silted up!"

Yang Deli's eyes were red and he was very angry, "Your Majesty, this is only Huazhou. How many places in the world are like Huazhou? If it is like this everywhere, the food will only become less and less. And the population will only increase. Decades from now, will there be enough food to eat?"

Li Zhi was startled suddenly.

"Many water conservancy projects were built in the former Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty used it for decades, so it can no longer be like this." Yang Deli said sadly: "If the water conservancy is not repaired, there will be disasters when there are floods, and there will be disasters when there are droughts. His Majesty……"

Yang Deli knelt down, "Your Majesty, please issue an edict to add water conservancy to the examinations of officials all over the world."

Li Zhi was shocked, "Is this so down here? Come, I went to find a few officials."

He personally helped Yang Deli up, "I have benefited a lot from Yang Qing's words!"

Yang Deli was happy in his heart, but then felt wrong, "Your Majesty, those officials don't know about water conservancy. Only those from the Ministry of Industry will know."

Li Zhi shook his head, "I'm afraid the Ministry of Industry is also confused. Otherwise, why didn't you make a suggestion?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has had a good harvest for decades, and the officials are probably negligent."

Li Zhi nodded.

Yang Deli said: "The best way is to ask those officials who have planted the land."

Well!

The monarch and his subjects looked at each other in blank dismay.

How rare are officials who have planted land?

Yang Deli is a giant panda.

These days, officials have to talk about their backgrounds, get out of office, recommend them, and get out of the imperial examination.

Either way, it probably has nothing to do with the farmers who farm.

So the monarch and his ministers were embarrassed.

Li Zhi sighed: "There is not a single important minister with a farming background in the court, I..."

Li Zhi felt that this was inappropriate.

These people were either from aristocratic families or the children of officials and eunuchs, and they didn't know the sufferings of the people at all.

This is not a good sign!

Li Zhi had a calculation in his heart.

"Your Majesty, those government soldiers know."

Yang Deli found a way casually.

Li Zhi nodded, "Go find some government soldiers."

The government soldiers farmed the land when they were busy and practiced when they were free. They couldn't be more clear about these issues.

Later, several government soldiers were called in, trembling.

"Is the water conservancy in the local ditches okay?"

"Your Majesty, some of them are blocked."

Changsun Wuji and the others looked livid.

If you let it go, there will be big problems in decades!

Many people have cold sweat down their backs.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, "Is the place unattended?"

"No one cares."

In an instant, all eyes were on Yang Deli.

A ninth-rank official unexpectedly revealed a major hidden danger!

...

Good night!
