After finishing this pretense, Liu Che felt refreshed and extremely comfortable.

"I would like to see the homes, warehouses and fields of my fellow villagers. I would like to ask the elders to lead the way..." Liu Che made this request to Wang Zheng that had already been planned.

"Old minister, obey the rules!" Wang Zhenggong said.

Although I know clearly that this matter is just a formality.

You will certainly not be able to see the real situation.

But Liu Che was still enthusiastic and headed towards the house of a family in Jiali, surrounded by Shaofu officials and people.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the owner of the house and his whole family, old and young, knelt at the door to welcome Liu Che's arrival.

Cen Mai, who had just been appointed as the 'Ambassador of Lingyan Pavilion', introduced this family: "Your Majesty, the head of this household is named Zhang Da, who is from the North. Four years ago, the Huns invaded and their home was destroyed...

"As he spoke, Cen Mai raised his hands in the direction of Yangling and said: "The late emperor was benevolent and benefited the common people, so he issued an edict to move the victims of the disaster in the north to Shanglin Garden, allowing them to rest and recuperate..."

The leader of the household brought his family members and kowtowed at the right time: "The late emperor was benevolent, and the people of the whole house burst into tears of gratitude..."

Liu Che also sighed: "The virtue of the late emperor is as deep as the sea and as vast as the earth. I am not as good as me!"

Exaggerating and acknowledging the merits of the late emperor was one of the ways for rulers to strengthen their rule in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, no flatterers came out to interfere this time.

"Let's go in and have a look..." Liu Che waved his hand and led a large group of attendants and ministers directly into this large family home.

Can be selected by the Shaofu as the destination for the Emperor's inspection.

The Zhang family is certainly not paupers.

Zhang's house consists of four houses in total, including a main house and four villas.

In the main house, the elder of the household lived with his wife, concubines, and young son.

Of the three villas, two belong to his grown-up but unmarried sons, and the other is used as a storage and utility room.

Liu Che looked at it and nodded, saying: "The head of the household is not changed..."

Cen Mai, who was standing next to him, immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the title of the household should not be changed!"

The military meritorious master named Tianzhai system. Although he is dying now, he is hanging on with his last breath.

But, after all, it still has Han laws to maintain its final dignity.

In the Guandong region, a common man may be able to build a mansion worth hundreds of dollars as long as he has money, but in Guanzhong and Shanglinyuan, who dares to despise the authority of Tingwei?

Therefore, no one in Guanzhong dares to exceed the restrictions of the twenty-first-level military meritorious system of land and residence.

The household laws and land laws of the Han Dynasty strictly stipulated the maximum number of acres and the maximum size of the house that could be owned by different titles.

From the highest-ranking princes to the lowest-ranking Sikou, in theory, no one can exceed the restrictions of the law and own land and houses that do not match their title.

It's a pity that there are no eggs.

Since Chao Cuo introduced the idea of ​​losing millet and donating titles. When the great god Mann came and rich people could spend money to buy titles, the military meritorious system of land and houses began to die. Its foundation was shaken and its credibility began to be lost.

.

But at this time, the military meritorious system is still alive, although it seems that it may die at any time.

But the Tingwei still abides by the law and maintains its final dignity. The local officials still uphold the law and supervise those who try to transgress.

At least that's the case in Guanzhong.

As an emperor, Liu Che knew all the regulations about the land and house system for military meritorious officials by heart. At least he had a certain understanding of it.

Therefore, he just took one look at the size of the house and immediately knew the social status of the big family.

According to Han law, it does not belong to the sixth level among the twenty-one levels of title.

It is allowed to own up to 400 acres of legal land and up to four houses as residences.

Looking up at the Zhang family, Liu Che secretly said in his heart: "I have to speed up the research on a new system to replace the military meritorious land and residence system..."

As a product of the Qin Empire's general war, the military meritorious system is undoubtedly very advanced and excellent.

But the key is that it is so advanced!

Even in later generations and in modern times, it has merit.

But at this time, it was a bit too far ahead of its time.

Even with the Qin Empire's incredible execution capabilities, it still led to peasant uprisings.

Relatively speaking, perhaps the Tang Dynasty's land equalization system between the government and soldiers was more suitable for the needs of the feudal era.

It's a pity that Liu Che knows nothing about the military system and the land equalization system, otherwise, he could plagiarize them.

"The military garrison plan of Liaodong and North Korea can be used for testing... Crossing the river by feeling for the stones..." With this thought, Liu Che looked around Zhang's house.

Overall, the results of the inspection were very good.

The warehouse in Zhang's home was filled with corn and wheat.

There are piles of firewood neatly stacked in the kitchen.

Oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, everything.

The clothes racks in the backyard were full of clothes, all of them brand-new burlap clothes, and there was even a straight-sawn clothes made of silk.

Liu Che watched, always wondering in his heart, how many tricks did the young master do?

The reason is simple, it's all so weird!

If you think about it, the Zhang family are victims of the disaster, and they are renting official land in Shanglinyuan.

Although Liu Che waved his hand, he did not ask them for much tax.

Their burden is much lighter than that of farmers in other places, but this is too false!

It’s the first month now!

It is impossible for normal farmers to have so much grain stored in their warehouses!

The common people are not stupid... there is really so much grain. They have sold it long ago to exchange money to buy new clothes, firewood, rice, oil, salt and meat. More importantly, they have saved up the money from selling grain.

Although Shanglinyuan is nice, it is not my home after all.

Although the land in Shanglinyuan is good, it is not yours after all.

Maybe one day, the government will issue an order and they will have to move out of Shanglin Garden and find a way to make a living.

According to Xiuyiwei's report, the people in Shanglin Garden generally choose to sell their grain after a good harvest, leaving only enough grain for their families and for the coming year. After selling the money, they will carefully hide it.

The common people's sense of worry has been strong since ancient times.

Especially farmers who have suffered from bankruptcy and displacement.

However, Luo Ying, the prince of Minyue Kingdom, was shocked when he saw all this.

Although Luo Ying was sent to Chang'an since he was a child, he was raised in the deep palace like a canary.

But he is not a nobleman who is ignorant of the sufferings of the people.

Xu Guan had always taught him that Minyue was suffering, and the people of Minyue were very miserable. Every year, countless people died from going to sea and famine. Therefore, for the sake of the people of Minyue, the prince should bear the humiliation and bear the burden, and endure hardships. When he returns to the country in the future,

Promote benevolent government, gather scholars and people, strengthen the military country, then conquer South Vietnam from the south, seize the East China Sea from the east, and unify the three Vietnams!

Xu Guan's education in this way had good intentions. He hoped that Luo Ying would become a wise king when he returned to China in the future.

He even recreated the glory of King Gou Jian of Yue and dominated China.

But the crux of the problem is that in order to strengthen Luo Ying's sense of worry and responsibility, Xu Guan only emphasized that the poorer and more miserable Fujian was, the more Nanyue was taken from the south and Dongou was taken from the east, so that the people of Fujian and Yue could live a good life.

Luo Ying, who had grown up under Xu Guan's emphasis since childhood, would naturally and unconsciously have the idea that "I am the hope of Fujian and Yue" and "we must lead Yue people to live a good life."

Although it is possible that after Luo Ying returned to China and ascended the throne, this secondary thought would be deeply buried in his heart, or even completely forgotten.

However, in the second period of high school, the simple and upright young man still believed wishfully that he had the mission of leading the Yue people to live a happy life.

This is also the common thought of Eastern monarchs in most cases.

The monarch of the East is responsible for the gods of heaven and earth, ancestors, Jiangshan, Sheji and the ancestral temple. The emperor is responsible for the happiness and well-being of the common people.

Even if he is a tyrant, he still needs benevolence, justice and morality to cover up his shame, he must also love his people like his sons, and he must also talk about how his ancestors and temples are.

At this moment, I saw an ordinary farmer in the Han Dynasty, or a family of victims who had been displaced after a disaster and had to come to the Emperor's Palace to seek shelter. The warehouse was full of rice, and they had enough money to eat. The whole family, old and young, had enough to eat every day.

Luo Ying couldn't help but feel touched in his heart.

"After I return home and take the throne, I will also follow the example of the Han Dynasty, build palaces and gardens, build this imperial village, take in refugees, help orphans and widows, and care for soldiers..." Luo Ying secretly swore in his heart.

Human beings are born with strong learning and imitation abilities.

When people see something good and beneficial to themselves, they can't help but learn and imitate it.

This is a memory engraved deep in our genes.

At this time, Liu Che naturally turned around and looked at Luo Ying, who looked surprised at first and then solemnly.

Although I don't know what he is thinking.

But Liu Che knew that Luo Ying must have been touched.
To be continued...
