Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 283 Tangquan Palace

The rules of Lishan Tang: Every prince has already descended, as for the common people, there are differences in the Tangquan hall, and they are not distinguished by high or low, and they are forbidden to overstep.

In other words, you can charge extra to subsidize the extravagant expenses of the hot spring soup supervisor, plus the funds allocated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how can you not even repair it?

It really doesn't work.

Lishantang extends to the first peak of Xiuling (Zhou Beacon Tower) in the west of Lishan Mountain in the south, Lintong Beishizi in the north, Shiweng Valley (Sigou) in the east, and Mudangou in the west. The fee is not low, even if there is a fee for soaking in warm soup, it can't plug the huge hole.

Moreover, the emperor came to make Lishan soup, you can't stop him from asking for money, right?
Not only can you not ask for money, but you have to offer any fruits, vegetables, and pears quickly, and every time you come to a hole, you have to expand it.

It's not easy for a small horse and a big cart, but at this time Lishan Tang is not treated by another palace, and the funds allocated every year are insufficient, so it is normal for Li Zhengzhi to complain.

However, Li Zhengzhi chose this timing very delicately!
Fan Zheng said, "Accordingly, this is not my job. Before the two superiors return, I have the right to discuss with Si Cheng and then report to the court."

As a matter of fact, if you want to say that you can only use Lishan Tang as the supervisor of hot spring soup, you can expand it. Shimen Tang in Lantian County, Yongzhou, Fengquan Tang in Mei County, Qizhou, Beishan Tang in Tongzhou, Lushan Tang in Luoyang Palace, etc. Muddy soup and Guangcheng soup in Liangzhou can all be included in its jurisdiction.

Duty is something that sometimes has no elasticity at all and does not give an inch, and sometimes is looser than the old lady's cotton trousers, so it is impossible to give a mandatory definition.

Li Zhengzhi crossed his hands again and again, with an expression of gratitude.

The plight of Lishantang has been reported to Sinong Temple many times, but after Guo Siben and Li Wei reported to the court, there was always no news, and they could only be put to pieces over time.

It's not that the imperial court didn't pay much attention to Lishan Tang, but in the early and middle stages of Zhenguan, money and food were still tight, but Li Shimin was still busy building Xiangcheng Palace and other palaces, and didn't care about Lishan.

All in all, with ten cages and eight lids, there are always omissions, and people like Fang Xuanling are masters at moving the lids.

That's why Li Zhengzhi asked Fan Zheng for help when he was in charge.

Looking for Tongren Tang?

Those bureaucrats who were born as sons of officials are more slippery than loaches!
They can talk with you for a day, and it will make your heart warm. Go back and think about it carefully, he didn't say anything!

At least, Fan Zheng's reputation is very strong, and he has never agreed and refused to do anything or dragged it to death.

Of course, there were things that didn't get done, anyway, it wasn't Fan Zheng's deliberate mess.

"No matter what the result is, the virtue of the superior will be praised by the subordinates among their colleagues."

Li Zhengzhi showed a little sincerity.

Meaning, if Fan Zheng intends to compete for the vacant Sinong Shaoqing, these orders and supervisors will all be supported by Fan Zheng's righteousness?
Li Zhengzhi was thinking left. It was up to the superior to decide whether to make someone an official or not. No matter how dissatisfied the subordinates were, it was useless. The so-called supportive attitude was at best the icing on the cake.

It's a pity, Fan Zheng has just jumped from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, and it will take time to settle down to spy on the position of the fourth rank.

With a low-level background, he is still at the top of the fifth rank before his thirtieth year. What is there for Fan Zheng to be dissatisfied with?

Fan Zheng squinted at Li Zhengzhi: "You and Li Zhengyi should be in the same clan, right? His old-fashioned temperament is not like you at all!"

Li Zhengzhi smiled wryly: "Actually, the temperament of the lower official is not much different from that of the Zhengyi clan brother. It's just that he has been honed a lot, and the edges and corners have naturally gone."

This is the sadness of a middle-aged man. No matter how many edges and corners there are, they will be worn away by the ruthless reality, and in the end only the light and dust remain.

However, in the yamen of Sinongsi, who do hard work, the most are the officials who try to retain a little bit of edge.

These unusual figures in the officialdom have a common language with each other, but if Fan Zheng follows the lead, he may not be a force.

On the day of the court, Fan Zheng stood at the head of Sinong Temple, quite helpless.

This is called "There are no big bugs in the mountains, and monkeys are kings".

"Sinong Temple, do you have something to play?"

Sikong Fang Xuanling called the roll call.

Fan Zheng held up his horn and wat: "Si Nongqing and Sinong Shaoqing are in Luoyang Palace, supervising Han Jiacang's grain and grass, and my minister Fan Zheng temporarily manages the affairs of the temple. order, to deter Xiaoxiao."

"Also: The house of Lishan Tang was built by Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty, and it has been in disrepair for a long time. The hot spring soup supervisor cannot afford the extra cost of repairs, so I implore the court to dispose of it."

Li Shimin snorted, and said with a chuckle: "So you don't know, all water transportation is guarded by the Zhechong Mansion! This is all a good thing Zhijie and the others did."

The generals couldn't help but rejoice.

This is the truth. When the Sui Dynasty fell, Wagang took a large part of the credit for seizing the grain and grass for water transportation.

Therefore, there are quite a few Zhechong mansions along the canal, second only to Guanzhong.

Fan Zheng had neither contact with the Ministry of War nor Zhucang, so he didn't know about it, so he was embarrassed.

"It's the Lishan soup, which really needs to be repaired. When I went to soak in the warm soup last month, I saw the broken stone railings, which hurt the court's face. I wrote Jiang Xingben, the general of Zuo Tunwei, and Yan Lide, the master craftsman, to build palaces and pavilions. Lishan Tang was promoted to Tangquan Palace."

Tangquan Palace is a separate palace, even a frugal emperor like Li Shimin would visit it almost once a year, and the distance is only more than sixty miles away.

When Li Zhi was in charge, the emperor who changed his name professionally changed the name of Tangquan Palace to Hot Spring Palace.

During the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Huaqing Palace. It became more famous because of its daughter-in-law soaking in Huaqing Pool. After the Anshi Rebellion, it gradually fell into disuse.

Li Shimin also intends to build Tangquan Palace, this is purely a hit-and-miss, which saves Fan Zheng from agitating.

After being promoted, the funds allocated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs will naturally increase accordingly. Li Zhengzhi should be satisfied, right?

It has been 16 years since the Zhenguan Dynasty. From being short-strained in the early stage to being slightly affluent now, Li Shimin no longer wants to restrain his desires.

I have fought all my life, can't I still enjoy it?

"I heard that all the land directly under the director of Jingyuan will be replanted with wheat?"

Li Shimin is not an emperor who does not distinguish between five grains, why not eat minced meat, even if he does not fully understand the difference between planting millet and wheat, he knows that he should not take it lightly.

Fan Zheng raised his wat: "Your Majesty's words are true. The director of Jingyuan will change millet to wheat because the yield of wheat is higher than that of millet, and it can feed more people."

Li Shimin pouted: "But wheat is not as delicious as millet."

Fan Zheng smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. The wheat rice is not very good, but after being milled, the shells are removed to make flour, and the cakes made from it taste very good."

Guanglu Shaoqing Liu Heng came out of the class: "The words of the director of Jingyuan are true, even in Guanglu Temple, many ingredients are replaced with wheat flour."

Li Shimin grinned.

Thanks to his early years as a soldier, Li Shimin's taste of food is relatively rough, and he really didn't taste this inconspicuous change.

Waving his hand to signal Fan Zheng to back down, Li Shimin murmured, "You son of a bitch, if next year's wheat is not as good as millet, I will beat your ass to pieces."
