People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

The peaceful days passed for a while, and everything was as usual. During this period, Cai Xiaolan went to the government office twice in a row and applied for a piece of land from Huke, which was right next to Tianfu Jucai Residence.

It's a pity that the household manager did not agree.

Instead, he told Cai Xiaolan the difficulty: the land was on the official road planning map.

Fengcang was anxious and asked repeatedly: "But this land is not on the official road?"

"Something happened during the road construction. The official road turned a corner at Tianfu Jucai Residence. But it was not marked on the planning map." The steward glared at him. If it weren't for Cai Xiaolan's sake, Fengcang wouldn't have had the chance to meet him.

Now he has learned to "prick" people by pushing on his nose and face.

Cai Xiaolan was very familiar with the way officials work. If she failed to accomplish what she wanted to do, it was obvious that the benefits did not exceed the risks. If it were before, Cai Xiaolan would definitely express it to the manager, but now, she wants to wait.

After a few days, her Marquis should come down. Although he is a "blank slate" marquis, he has no power. But relying only on the power that high-ranking nobles possess to reach heaven, there is no danger of "tyrannizing" and "green light all the way" at the local level!

No one dares to deny face.

……

Li Shimin took command and the six departments supervised the implementation, and things were implemented very quickly. In less than ten days, all the newspapers copied to various places were sent out: the state governments are ordered to inspect the land under their jurisdiction to ensure that the land is not occupied by big families. The imperial court will send imperial envoys to inspect the country... Prefecture schools and county schools must pay attention to the children of the poor. Open to the scholars in China... all the libraries are open for convenience...

Among the dozens of new regulations, there was an inconspicuous one: the establishment of the Textile and Textile Department to promote the production of silk and cotton cloth.

Also arriving at the same time as the Di Bao were the design drawings of the treadle loom, "Houche's Weaving Method of Flowered Cloth".

The manager of the inn got the newspaper and sent it to the government office immediately.

Lu Qingyun was born in the Lu family. He had heard about the news in Chang'an for a long time. He vaguely felt that something big was going to happen in the near future. The first thing he did every day at work was to check the Di newspaper.

"Sir, this is for today!" the steward offered.

Lu Qingyun took it and immediately noticed that the weight was wrong, "Huh? It's so thick!"

He read along the sealing lines several times, but found no trace of opening, and felt somewhat confident.

"this--"

Several thin volumes were taken out of the package, and the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became.

"Didn't you hear that a new prime minister came to power? How could there be such a change? This is a new deal." Lu Qingyun was surprised, and at the same time he quickly figured out how to implement the new deal in the book and how to achieve practical results.

The thin volume of government orders was flipped through, and the other two volumes at the bottom were exposed.

The moment he saw the titles of these two books, he got up and slapped the table hard. Judging from the second half of the names of the two books, they were both sent by Yangzhou Prefecture.

"Sir, what's wrong?" The steward standing guard outside heard the noise and ran in quickly and asked.

"It's okay. You should go out first! By the way, go and invite the two adults, Chang Shi and Judge, and the three stewards of the Etiquette Department!" He flipped through the small book he found and understood. Who is Hua Buhou?

"Xiaolan is really lucky."

The Yangzhou Prefecture arranged the ceremony for the title of Marquis of Huabu in accordance with the regulations, and was only waiting for the imperial edict and ritual utensils.

But what is surprising is that what the inn delivered was only an imperial edict. All other supporting items are missing.

"Lord Governor, is there any misunderstanding here?" He presented the imperial edict to Lu Qingyun.

Lu Qingyun thought about it for a long time before he understood the meaning above. It was unprecedented for a civilian woman with no military merit to be promoted to a marquis. Li Shimin's reward to Cai Xiaolan must be a false name. According to the wishes of the superiors, the Yangzhou government office only needed to deliver the imperial edict to Huabu Hou.

"This Li Laoer is famous for being a digger!" Lu Qingyun was helpless.

Just be knighted, and it's all this nonsense. "Alas, the court considered that the Cai family had no ancestral merit, so conferring a knighthood was an overstep. In order to avoid jealousy and trouble from the world, the saint only gave him a title, but not a real title!" Lu Qingyun expressed his suspicion.

"Then--" The steward suddenly lost his mind.

Etiquette costs money. No money was given from above, and even the ceremony utensils were not set aside. It was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Governor Lu thought about last year's "number one" and his future official career. He realized that Cai Xiaolan had contributed a lot. Clenching his teeth, he said solemnly: "Follow the past rules! I will spend half of the budget for the New Year's Ceremony Department, and I will find a way to make up for the shortfall!"

"Yes!"

The steward went to work.

……

At the court meeting ten days ago, Fang Xuanling first persuaded Yu Shinan, then forced him with courtesy, and persuaded Wei Zheng to write a letter to remonstrate, and finally got the responsibility of going to Jiangnan on a business trip. He went down to the south of the Yangtze River to deliver the edict and reward from Marquis Huabu.

After going to court, Fang Yi heard that his father was going to Yangzhou and couldn't help but wonder: "Father, how could you do such a trivial matter..."

"You. There is nothing trivial about our country." Fang Xuanling obviously did not tell the truth to the eldest son.

Only he himself knows this calculation.

Today, the Tang Dynasty has been stable both inside and outside the country for less than five years. With the arrival of cotton clothes, Li Shimin, who was so happy about his success, once again saw the opportunity to expand his territory. The ministers of the six tribes were asked to stay in court every day to discuss the possibility of going to war.

The ministers in the court know very well that once a war breaks out, the people all over the world will suffer.

Fang Xuanling was annoyed by the questions and had to go out and hide.

The two carriages took away the prize money from the treasury, and Master Fang's journey to the south of the Yangtze River officially began.

……

"Sir, do you want to go to the government office?" Approaching Yangzhou Mansion, the leader of the guards asked respectfully outside the cabin door curtain.

"No need, I asked about it when I came here. Huabu Hou has a teahouse outside Yangzhou City, called Tianfu Jucaiju. Let's go directly." Fang Xuanling rejected the guard's suggestion.

The official ship had a very deep draft and ran aground when it was approaching its destination. He once again rejected the guard's suggestion, and instead decided to let everyone dress up in plain clothes, carry gold and copper coins on their bodies, and pretend to be merchants.

……

It is said that the climate is best in March in Yangchun, and the wind in the south of the Yangtze River is moister. In this season, there are especially many people going out for spring outings in the city.

Tianfu Jucai Residence is almost the end point for this group of people. Not only can they eat and drink, but there is also a cloth workshop next to it. In addition to visiting and strolling, you can also buy two pieces of cheap plain cloth. And Xu Yinlian, who had completely opened up her business ideas, set up some stalls at the entrance of Huansha Hall.

The prototype of a tourist town emerged.

"Man, do you have a private room?" a young man asked arrogantly.

"Sorry, we only have two private rooms at home. The students from the Fu Xue School booked one, and Miss Lu booked the other!"

The young master looked around and frowned. There are many people who settle in Tianfu Jucaiju, including those who travel long distances, those who go on spring outings, those who visit relatives and friends, etc.! Young Master doesn't like eating with them.

"Sir, there is only one table left, please think about it quickly. Otherwise -" Before the boy could finish his words, there was a lot of people outside, and someone shouted loudly: "We have guests coming, eighteen merchants!"

Young Master quickly spoke out: "I want, I want -"

There were eighteen people, and the table was taken away by them. How long should I wait? (End of chapter)
