Lu also knew that this time, the inspection of the land and the households was unusual. His Majesty Li Er was really cruel. But it was related to the interests of his parents' family. Even if he complained, he would be better.

"Is it impossible to be able to make peace with only three hidden households or voluntarily rely on the Lu family?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Not to mention three, even one, the same punishment is the same. Look at which minister in the court has said the matter before His Majesty? If it violates the national law, the court's punishment must be reasonable and well-founded."

After pausing, he continued, "The same is true for the princes and nobles. The King of Han was severely punished for this, and the wife knew about it."

"The King of Han is in the state and is quite unconstitutional. Didn't Your Majesty rebuke him with an imperial edict?" Lu's voice lowered and muttered.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Yuanchang was only seven years old. His mother was just an unknown little person, and it can be said that she could not threaten His Majesty Li Er at all.

His Majesty Li Er was also happy to be a gentle, respectful, frugal and kind brother, and he was named King of Han.

Whether it was a hobby or in order to dispel the suspicion of the emperor, the Han King Li Yuanchang, who had literary talent, soon became an art master.

Historical records: Shi Ling, the calligraphy was received by Shi Ling, and the ancestors Shu Xi and Xian, although they were well-versed in their childhood. They were good at calligraphy and painting horses, and their handwriting was wonderful. They were beautiful in painting eagles, falcons, pheasants, and rabbits. They were admired by their hands at that time.

If you only strive for excellence in the art path, Li Yuanchang will be a good ending to become a leader of his generation. However, he always violated the law and discipline when he served in the fiefdom. His Majesty Li Er scolded him, which made him feel resentful.

Of course, resentment in his heart was unknown to others, but it also laid the root of disaster for his death after participating in Li Chengqian's rebellion.

Fang Xuanling glanced at his wife and said, "If the prince is like this, even if other ministers just complain, their official positions will be difficult to guarantee. If the wife insists on submitting a memorial for her husband and fails to do so, what will happen to the Lu family?"

Lu had nothing to say. Even the Wei trolls in the court were silent and asked her husband to be the leader. In a few days, he would be severely punished by His Majesty Li Er to warn all the ministers.

After a while of silence, Lu asked tentatively: "Many hidden households found in Guanzhong moved to Hexi. Is this related to Gan and Suzhou?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Managing Hexi is to support the conquest of Gaochang, and it is the country's major policy. Hexi has few people and a wide area, and is adjacent to Guanzhong, which is narrow and dense. The court naturally had to immigrate from Guanzhong."

"And the hidden households in the other roads are no longer compulsory. As long as the land is sufficiently allocated, new places are allowed to be re-entered."

Lu sighed and said, "I still think that the governor of Ganzhou Xu Qilin is quite loyal to the family, and immigration is also related to the household registration. I also want to ask him to discuss the matter on his behalf. Now it seems that it is not possible!"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "It's definitely not possible. Xu Qilin is very sensible in his work, so how could he do such an unwise thing?"

"A Jun, a gangster, has been wandering around for more than a year. When I come back this time, I must deal with him well." Lu had no choice but to suddenly think of Fang Er from Xu Qilin, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and turned fierce.

Fang Xuanling glanced at the wife, secretly bowed her lips, but refused to respond. If she answered, she would have to make another noise.

……………………

The era of the aristocratic family has passed, but they still don’t know it. The unified dynasty and the peace of the world are still the time when they rely on the fort and dominate the land?

Without an army, it is an indisputable fact that the end of the aristocratic family has fallen.

Think about Changsun Wuji in history, he was powerful for a while and was known as the leader and spokesperson of the Guanlong nobles! A false accusation by Li Jingzong was exiled to death.

In other words, the power of the subject is given by the emperor, and the prime minister or the first-rank official, once the emperor takes it back, you will be nothing.

The power of imperial power is unshakable. As long as the emperor is willing, it is as simple as crushing an ant to death.

Of course, His Majesty Li Er's eating behavior will not be so ugly. But no one can tell the problem by grasping the handle and tiring it up.

Even if a certain gentry had multiple high-ranking officials in the court and formed a mixed network of relationships through marriage, the rise and fall were still in the emperor's thoughts.

His Majesty Li Er used the Political Affairs Hall to handle the court's official affairs, not to have to delegate power, but to believe that appropriate delegating power and collective wisdom are more conducive to rule.

As for the emperor who firmly controls power in his own hands, it is because he is not confident and does not believe that his subjects will be loyal to him.

After spending a warm and dry winter in Daming Palace, the fields and households were successfully launched in various places. His Majesty Li Er was very happy.

At this time, he was in Bingxia Palace, checking the homework of Xu Hui on Yizi and Xiao Zhao.

"The flying white body of Yizi has made progress again, mainly because of its strong wrist strength." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and was very pleased.

Xu Hui smiled and said, "His Highness Jinyang's body is getting stronger and stronger. I feel breathless when I play with her!"

What calligraphy and homework are not important. Just like the expectations of many parents in later generations, as long as the children are healthy, they are good.

This is even more true for the royal princess. She doesn’t have to work, doesn’t have to worry about her brain, and doesn’t have to worry about spending money. As long as she has a good body, it is His Majesty Li Er’s greatest wish.

His Majesty Li Er had a slight head, listened to the cheerful voices of the girls outside, smiled, looked at Xiao Zhao's homework, and praised: "Xiao Zhao is also very good. Qi Lin got his calligraphy from his master, so she wrote very well."

Xu Hui also likes this kind of plump and grand calligraphy, but with a princess in front of her, it is normal to be a little bit defamed by the younger sister, so she said, "It's more plump and grand, and you still have to work hard!"

"As a child, don't urge it too much." His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "In more than a month, Qi Lin will set off to return to Beijing. Qi Qi also wants to return to Beijing to serve. After more than two years, you siblings can be reunited again."

Xu Hui nodded with a smile and said, "For more than two years, I wonder if Xiao Lang has changed a lot? He must have grown taller, and I am afraid he will surpass me. Qi Qi, and he has children, so I am already an aunt."

Li Er's Majesty said with his head: "Yes, as I saw Yizi and Xiao Zhao grow up, I knew that others' changes were also quite a bit."

After pausing, he smiled and said, "Qi Lin said in the report that he still wanted to work in Dayingku. As for the contributions to running Ganzhou, just let me give him a marquis at will."

Xu Hui covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Xiao Lang is naughty. I wonder if Your Majesty is giving it to you or not?"

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Since you are casual, then give it to me. I don't know how Xiao Lang wants to reward and seal it. When I sent him to Ganzhou to take office, I thought it would be like this."

"Where is the Marquis--" Xu Hui's eyes turned into crescent moons, as if they were relieved, and seemed to be thinking about something, and was speechless for a while.

His Majesty Li Er hugged his beloved concubine and said with a gentle voice: "Xiao Lang earned his title with his ability. He has made merits to the country and the people. I will repay his merits with a marquis. Don't worry about being arrogant and arrogant with his merits. You should be pleased that the Xu family has such a hero."

Xu Hui smiled and said, "I used to worry about it, but now I think it's best to let it go. Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear, and I have always been convinced."

His Majesty Li Er gently stroked the shoulders of his beloved concubine and said, "If Qi Lin was not young, my reward would be heavier. Qi Lin had just submitted a report and suggested that I reduce the rent and mediocre adjustments and increase the collection of commercial taxes."

Xu Hui turned to look at His Majesty. She had no research on this and did not understand the whole story. She was waiting for His Majesty Li Er to explain.

His Majesty Li Er continued: "Qi Lin has always attached importance to commerce. It would be fine if he served in Dayingku, but I am a little doubtful when operating in the local area. I am worried that commerce will be harmful to farming when it becomes prosperous. But judging from the actual situation of Gansu and Suzhou, I am worried that it is unnecessary."

After pausing, His Majesty Li Er continued: "It is indeed a good idea to use business to supplement agriculture and reduce the burden on the farming people."

Xu Hui understood a little and said, "Farmers pay less rent, and the burden will be reduced, so they will naturally not have the intention of abandoning farmers and joining business. The wise monarchs in history have almost all light taxes and low labor, and have a rest assured people. Zhenguan is already a ruler. Your Majesty wants to go further and create a prosperous era?"

His Majesty Li Er laughed and said, "It is a great wish to create a prosperous era."

……………………

The peasants with a face facing yellow and back facing sky are the hardest-working class. At the same time, because their residence is quite fixed and their output is easy to measure, they are also the most likely target for the ruling class to obtain taxes.

Therefore, the feudal rulers ranked peasants in the second class, namely the so-called scholars, peasants, industry and commerce. But in fact, farmers' incomes were almost the last, and their quality of life was even worse than that of merchants.

The only advantage is that farmers can take the imperial examinations, while merchants are excluded. But how many difficulties will it be for ordinary farmers to offer a prize? How many farmers can bear the expenses?

Therefore, in Xu Qilin's view, it was difficult in ancient times to make a fortune by farming alone, at most, the family had surplus food.

Farmers need to increase their income, in addition to farming and increasing their yields, they also develop the tertiary industry, reduce burdens and taxes.

Xu Qilin has already set an example in Gansu and Suzhou. The last item can only be approved by the court.

Of course, Xu Qilin also prevented it. In the report, he suggested that His Majesty Li Er's burden and tax reduction should not be too large, and one tenth of it is the best.

Because people's psychology is profit, joy, loss and anger. To put it bluntly, it is naturally good to decline, and people will praise each other; but if they fall down, they will rise, and people's resentment will rise.

This is like the emperor giving kindness to his ministers. It is step by step and rarely given in one go, making it difficult to deal with in the future.

The so-called reward is worthless, and the same is true.

After Xu Qilin submitted the report, he was ready to hand over the resignation. Although he didn't know who the successor was, it didn't matter to him.

He was leaving, but the Dayingku weaving workshop set up in Ganzhou would not be relocated. Hexi and Gaochang will be cotton production bases. According to ancient transportation, nearby processing was the most economical method.

Most of the slaves who have transferred from Chang'an who have been transferred to "city" are unwilling to leave. The development of Ganzhou is obvious to all, and the living standards are not bad, and there is an advantage of tranquility.

These miserable people who have suffered, suffered from discrimination and were once the same as "animal property", want to live a peaceful life in Ganzhou.

"I've thought about it and I'll be the manager here?" Xu Qilin looked calm and asked Zhou Qi: "Actually, it's the same when I returned to Chang'an. I'm no longer a servant."

Zhou Qi fell to the ground and did not stand up. He replied with tears in his eyes: "I will never forget Xu Cheng's great kindness. But Chang'an doesn't want to go back."

Thank you. If Xu Qilin hadn't fought for them, he would have been a slave for the rest of his life. How fewer criminals will die in the ward?

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "If you don't want to go back, just live here. Fortunately, it's still the institution of Dayingku. If there is anything, if someone is in power, he can take care of one or two."

To be honest, Xu Qilin is quite reluctant to part with Zhou Qi. After years of training, Zhou Qi has been smart and capable, and even a little bit in charge of things.

However, although the Tang Dynasty was open, it was difficult for women to become officials, and it was definitely not something Xu Qilin had the ability to change.

But in the Dayingku organization, he still has some power to promote and appoint some female managers. Although he has no nominal official status, his treatment is still quite generous.

After pausing, Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Even if you don't do well in the weaving workshop, you have the skills yourself. It's not difficult to get in to run a small workshop."

Zhou Qi bowed again and said, "When Xu Cheng presided over Dayingku, my family would not leave. We always have to contribute to the workshop to make Xu Cheng less trouble."

"It's enough to have this intention." Xu Qilin waved his hand and said, "What I just said is not a false statement. The cotton spinning industry will grow and grow quickly, and it is absolutely difficult for Dayingku to monopolize all of them. The rise of private workshops is inevitable. You have to think about it well and don't miss the opportunity."

Zhou Qi looked up at Xu Qilin, and finally believed that this was her plan for her, and she couldn't help but feel moved.

Xu Qilin stretched out a finger and emphasized: "But you came from a weaving workshop after all, and if you want to go out and work alone, some technologies cannot be passed on. In fact, there is no need to spin high-end products. Medium and low-grade cotton textiles are also profitable."

Zhou Qi nodded and agreed, saying, "I understand. Thank you for your advice."

What Xu Qilin said was not an imagination out of thin air, but a judgment based on the development trend of the cotton spinning industry.

Men farm and women weave, which can certainly ensure the use of the family. However, exports and the cotton cloth required on the market will still lead to the emergence of small workshops.

Taking the weaving industry in Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty as an example, the machine owners contributed capital and the mechanics contributed their efforts. This business model alone reached more than 1,000 households.

There are tens of thousands of maids working, not including those housewives who pick up materials and go back to process them.

Even if Zhou Qi doesn’t do it, with the promotion of cotton planting and the increase in output, there will always be people who see this way to make money.

Buying more than a dozen or dozens of looms and hiring a weaver is equivalent to opening a small factory and becoming a small manager.

Xu Qilin hopes that this situation will occur, and Dayingku monopolizes the cotton spinning industry, which is not what he wants to see.
