Chapter 490 Live up to it

Li Ling used both kindness and power, and the land enclosure reform was carried out very smoothly. Recently, the envoys sent by Li Ling to various places to supervise the land released by the powerful have returned to Beijing one after another.

As the envoy sent out by Li Ling this time, Li Yu had a quick look at the palace after returning to the capital and rushed to the imperial city to meet the saint. When Li Yu just walked to the palace gate, he happened to meet Jiang Youchen who had come back to return his life. Now Li Yu

Yu was a regular servant of the third rank, and Jiang Youchen was a minister of the Ministry of official affairs of the second rank. They were both humerus ministers in the court and were deeply respected by Li Ling.

The two of them came to the royal study room to meet the saint and told Li Ling about the inspection.

Li Yu experienced the experience of being sent abroad, and after returning to the capital, he married a lovely wife. Now he is no longer as gloomy as he was when he was a boy. When he saw Li Ling, he gushed: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to inspect

Bashu, Jiang

Regarding the enclosure of land in southern and other places, after the North Korea-China policy was pushed forward, the powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River were very cooperative and released a lot of land, but the powerful people in Bashu were arrogant and arrogant. Local officials repeatedly put pressure on them, but the powerful people were very cold and hard."

Li Ling nodded and said: "Bashu is far away from the capital. As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so they are even more unruly."

Li Yu continued: "At first, they were really uncooperative. Later, the imperial court issued a policy of releasing land for officials, and these people became more active. One thousand acres of fertile land could be exchanged for a seventh-grade official, and 10,000 acres of fertile land could be donated.

Waiting for the title, haha

, each of these powerful people has a rich net worth, and they are happy to contribute to the future of their children who do not seek advancement. There was an old governor in Bashu who became an official. He released 100,000 acres of fertile land in one fell swoop and donated a small area to his children.

official."

Li Ling sighed slightly and said: "The previous dynasty supported many corrupt officials. These individuals enriched their own pockets and embezzled much of the country's property."

Jiang Youchen replied: "These people have tasted the sweetness of being an official, so they are willing to release a large amount of land to donate officials for their descendants. I am afraid that the descendants raised by these people will also be useless. Let them become officials, and they will only do nothing."

It harms the people of this area."

"Ah Chen has the same concerns as me." He said with a slight smile: "This method of replacing land with officials was the queen's idea. When my implementation of the forced order was blocked, the queen came up with this method. At first, I

Also Gu

She had many worries, but the queen had a backup plan. She suggested that after these powerful people released their land, in a year or two, if they saw that the children who bought official positions failed to live up to their expectations, she would find a reason to remove them.

Already."

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, Li Yu on the side couldn't help stroking her palms and said: "Second sister-in-law, oh, the queen is so wise."

Li Ling looked proud when he mentioned his wife. He laughed twice and said, "The queen's method really works. Haha, my queen is really smarter than those veteran cabinet ministers."

Seeing Li Ling praising Jing Shu like this, Jiang Youchen smiled slightly, and Li Yu echoed: "If the emperor brother has such a virtuous wife as the emperor's sister-in-law, he will definitely become a famous emperor throughout the ages."

Jiang Youchen and Li Yu were not only courtiers, but also close relatives of Li Ling, so Li Ling could talk to them so easily. The king and his ministers joked for a while, and Li Ling asked Jiang Youchen again: "You went to the north to inspect, apart from the enclosure situation, what else?

How is the city defense on the border? Can we find out more about the grassland?"

Jiang Youchen hurriedly cupped his hands and replied: "This time I traveled north and reached Northern Xinjiang. Now the city defenses in Northern Xinjiang are strong and can resist foreign invasion. However, I heard that the old Xiongnu Chan is seriously ill and that the eldest prince Baha has now controlled the grassland."

Some forces."

Li Ling frowned slightly when he heard this, and replied: "When I used the trick to turn father and son against each other, I thought it would keep them in conflict for ten or eight years, but I didn't expect that it has only been a few years. This old man is so convenient.

I can’t hold on any longer, that Baja is so ambitious and has always been eyeing the Central Plains, it’s a tough nut to crack.”

Jiang Youchen suggested: "I think that before Baha has unified the grassland, we can take advantage of the situation to attack, catch him off guard, and disrupt the situation of Baha unifying the grassland."

Li Ling nodded and said: "I have always had this plan, but I was worried about the huge depletion of national power caused by the continuous wars in the past few years, so I delayed it again and again. Now that the old Shanyu can no longer suppress Na Baha, I have to make another plan.

." Mentioning the North

In response to the situation in Xinjiang, Li Ling said confidently: "The young people selected for this military examination are all capable talents. Among them is Pei Yunqian. I plan to send him and several young military attachés to northern Xinjiang for training.

Wait for a while to prepare for war."

Jiang Youchen said: "Of course you can't go wrong with the people your Majesty likes. The previous dynasty valued civility over military affairs. Now is the time when there is a shortage of generals. After these young people have experienced, they will all be people who can be reused in the future."

After the monarch and his ministers discussed the state affairs, Li Yu just left the Qinzheng Hall and happened to meet Jing Shu.

Li Yu saluted Jing Shu respectfully, and Jing Shu smiled and asked Li Yu, "You just returned from abroad, have you ever returned home?"

Li Yu replied: "I did go back, but I just saw Xuan'er in a hurry and rushed to the palace to see the saint."

Jing Shu smiled and said, "I'm afraid Xuan'er hasn't had time to tell you the good news yet."

When Li Yu heard this, he knew what Jing Shu was referring to. He smiled heartily: "The emperor's sister-in-law really misjudged Xuan'er. As soon as I stepped into the house, she ran over and couldn't wait to tell me."

"This child is still so impatient." After saying that, Jing Shu looked at Li Yu and told her, "Xuan'er is pregnant now and you are back. She is used to it. You need to give her more attention."

The reason why Li Yu was so happy today was because his beloved wife was pregnant. After hearing Jing Shu's words, she scratched her head in confusion, and then replied happily: "Don't worry, Sister-in-law, I plan to start with

Invite some experienced nuns to come, and I will learn from you first. This is our first child, and to be honest, I am a little at a loss."

Jing Shu looked at Li Yu's happy face and said with a smile: "I have prepared everything here for you." Then, she introduced the two nuns around her to Li Yu and said: "These two nuns take care of pregnant women.

You are the best at it, take it back to Xuan'er."

Li Yu quickly saluted Jing Shu and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law, for your kindness."

Jing Shu replied: "Xuan'er is my sister, and I should take care of her. As a sister, I am very happy to see you and your husband loving each other."

Li Yu was often taken care of by Jing Shu when he was a child in the palace, and now he is married to Jing Shu's sister. Although Shen Jingxuan is not very outstanding in appearance, she is a straightforward and lovely girl. Li Yu likes Shen Jingxuan, and she has

With the relationship with his respected eldest sister-in-law, he will naturally treat his wife wholeheartedly.

He looked at Jing Shu, cupped his hands again and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Xuan'er treats me sincerely, and I will never let her down in this life."
