Asking herself, Princess Changle also felt that she was too willful sometimes. Because she followed her parents' orders and took the burden of the royal family on her shoulders, which led to an unhappy marriage, she did not listen to anyone after meeting Fang Jun.
Discouraged, she insists on being with Fang Jun, and even wants to have a child regardless of her own reputation and royal reputation.
If I put myself in Li Chengqian's shoes, I feel that such a sister is really heartbreaking...
Now I can put aside my dignity as an emperor and speak softly and modestly in front of myself. Although there are no words of apology in my mouth, my expression and behavior are full of apologies.
An emperor can value brotherhood so much, what else is there to ask for?
The rift between the brother and sister disappeared in an instant, and the previous feud was settled. After taking a sip of tea poured by Princess Changle herself, Li Chengqian said: "You are the eldest princess. You can't run to Zhongnan Mountain all day long. You should stay in the palace to help.
Let me take care of my brothers and sisters. After all, the queen is separated by one layer. Sometimes
The weather is not too harsh."
Mentioning the Queen, Princess Changle frowned slightly: "Why did those rumors originate?"
She firmly refused to believe that Fang Jun was having an affair with the queen. She knew very well who her man was.
Li Chengqian also had a headache, shook his head and said: "Rumors only stop the wise. As long as you ignore them, they will dissipate in a few days and are not worth mentioning."
Although he said this, the gloom and anger in his expression could not be hidden.
Princess Changle did not continue this topic. After all, if her wife was involved in a scandal, anyone would be dissatisfied, let alone the supreme emperor of the 95th?
She brought up another big royal problem: "Si Zi is getting older. If she still can't get married in the past two years, she will be in big trouble. Does your Majesty have any plans for her marriage?" Li Chengqian was very distressed: "That girl
She's so dizzy that she doesn't even want to go on a blind date, so how can we get married? I can't show off the majesty of the emperor and order her to find a random family to marry, right? One or two will be trouble! Alas, in the past, when my father was here, I would look at him
It seems that he handles everything with ease and is confident, and nothing is difficult for him. But now that I am sitting on the throne, everything seems to be difficult to solve. In the final analysis, it is still more difficult to solve.
He wanted to gain his father's talents and abilities." He dreamed of proving that his father was wrong about him and that he had the ability to be a good and qualified emperor. However, he found that he was trapped everywhere and everything seemed to be woven into a huge web.
Trapped him in the middle, making his steps difficult
, in a dilemma, at a loss as to where to go.
This hit him hard.
Princess Changle can only shut up, she is also one of the "trouble" in the emperor's mouth...
***** The Fang family’s huge fleet was escorted by the navy and sailed down the Yangtze River in a mighty way, arriving at Huating Town. The climate in Guanzhong is getting hotter and the political situation is becoming more urgent. People like Fang Xuanling
The status of the elders of the two dynasties was high, and the general
It is inevitable that it will be affected. It is enough for the Fang family to have Fang Jun moving around in the officialdom. It would be unwise to involve even Fang Xuanling.
It happened that Fang Yi went back to Huating Town to recover from his injuries, so Fang Xuanling took his old wife, third son, fourth son, Xiao Shuer, Jin Shengman, Qiaoer and several children to the south of the Yangtze River.
Huating Town is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Although there are still strong sea breezes and abundant rain in midsummer, it is not as hot as Guanzhong, making it a good place to cool off.
It was no secret that Fang Xuanling arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. It could be inferred just from the high-profile actions of the navy. Therefore, when the Fang family's fleet arrived at the port, many Jiangnan aristocratic families sent people to wait at the port.
Only the Xiao family directly dispatched the current head of the family, Xiao Yu... After landing at the port, Fang Xuanling smiled and greeted the representatives of each family, and also accepted the gifts from each family. She said that she would not host a banquet until the settlement was completed.
After seeing off the representatives of each family, they personally entertained them in the flower hall of the town office.
Xiao Yu.
The two families are in-laws, and they were once colleagues. Regardless of their friendship or relationship, it is much deeper than other families... Xiao Yu accepted Xiao Shuer's greetings in advance, hugged the child, and gave him a heavy gift.
At the meeting ceremony, I was sitting in the flower hall drinking tea. I saw the obvious look of exhaustion on Fang Xuanling's face when he came in after socializing. He sighed and said: "We have been traveling in official circles all our lives. We have been in the officialdom and entertained everyone with a smile. We are exhausted and exhausted.
I thought that when I returned to my hometown after becoming an official, I would be able to take care of myself and enjoy leisurely walks in the woods and springs. However, unexpectedly, I still couldn't take care of this human relationship, and I often had troubles.
Feeling exhausted, I wish I could escape into Buddhism and end my remaining life." Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea and laughed when he heard the words: "People are always dissatisfied. Before life is over, desires are hard to fill, and some people are shouting and cheering.
I feel annoyed when I'm being flattered, and I feel tired when I'm ignored and no longer pay attention to you.
"The human heart is not ancient. It's just that you make yourself uncomfortable. Only by being able to withstand prosperity and loneliness can you pursue the true taste of life."
"Haha, the prime minister is mocking me for being hypocritical?"
"Mr. Xiao is indeed very smart. Can you understand such a subtle hint?"
"Hahaha!" The two old friends met again and laughed at each other. Xiao Yu was laughed out loud by Fang Xuanling's "smart" words, and burst into laughter.
Fang Xuanling also laughed. The people in the court had different interests and different camps. They were intrigues and quarrels with each other. Now they all took off their official seals and official uniforms, but the barrier was obviously eliminated. They were sitting together.
Without the calculation, it is warmer
Xin. However, Xiao Yu came to greet him in person. It was obviously more than just reminiscing about old times. Today, there are not many things that the head of the Xiao family in Lanling can do in person. No matter how you calculate it, meeting old friends and reminiscing about old times is not enough.
It won't be counted among them... With the status and experience of the two of you, there is no need to hide or display the art of language. Xiao Yu got straight to the point: "I know that 'paper money' is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out the real intention contained in it, but it doesn't matter, who is Erlang, the uncle of our Xiao family? If we don't support it, who will support it? Please tell Erlang, the Xiao family, to set an example, these banknotes
'Will not be used to redeem
The land is purchased, but used to pay taxes and be used in large transactions."
He didn't understand the essence of coins and the circulation effects, nor could he understand them. However, in order to ensure the stability of the Lanling Xiao family in Jiangnan, he must keep up with current events and respond to the court's call.
Based on his understanding of Fang Jun, since he went to great lengths to print "paper money", it is definitely not as simple as using it to redeem land. This new model of "money notes" must be given an extremely important purpose.
"Circulation" may be one of them.
If a coin cannot be circulated and no one recognizes it, what kind of coin is it?
Therefore, Xiao Yu was keenly aware of the key and was willing to support Fang Jun for once in exchange for Fang Jun's support for the Lanling Xiao family.
In fact, the so-called political marriage cannot truly bring about seamless cooperation and intimacy between the two parties. The Xiao family's real gain from marrying their daughter to the Fang family is actually an opportunity to abandon others and enter the family.
How can a mere woman really influence a family's decision on the future?
This was a good thing, but Fang Xuanling did not agree immediately. He took a sip of tea slowly and his mind was spinning rapidly. After a while, he asked: "But what happened?"
Visiting in person to express support for "paper money", such a simple purpose is not in line with Xiao Yu's character, there must be another reason...
Sure enough, Xiao Yu said with a bitter smile: "Back then, everyone in the government and the public praised 'Fang Mou Du Duan', but looking at it now, Xuan Ling is really resourceful and resourceful, and he can't hide anything from you." To this day, "Fang Mou Du Duan" is so popular.
It has been many years since I heard this comment. Fang Xuanling even felt dazed for a moment, but soon woke up and shook his head with a smile: "The loess is buried up to your neck, why bother playing with these things?"
Small tricks? Just ask Brother Shi Wen to speak frankly." Xiao Yu nodded: "I heard that the Navy has leased a piece of land in Luzon Island, which is extremely suitable for growing rice. Xi Jun bought that kid with the intention of hiring local natives to farm the land for him.
How can people cultivate the fields? They just sow seeds and wait for the harvest. It is a waste of God to give them such land. In my opinion, if the Navy can sublease this land to the Xiao family, the Xiao family is willing to cooperate with the Navy
Sign a contract stipulating that a fixed share of grain should be paid every year,
Ensure that the Navy maintains harvests despite droughts and floods and reduces risks."
Fang Xuanling frowned and said nothing.
It was just a piece of land, which was cultivated by the navy hiring local natives of Luzon, or subleased to the Xiao family for cultivation. In fact, it was essentially the same, as long as enough food was transported back to the Tang Dynasty.
But in principle it is absolutely different. After pondering for a while, Fang Xuanling said: "There have been endless debates in the court about overseas lands, but there has been a tacit understanding since Emperor Taizong's time, that is, more immigration should be adopted for Liaodong, Japan, and Annan.
The strategy, there is no land for farming
If you voluntarily go to these places, you can obtain land and farm with peace of mind. However, for other overseas countries, they only encourage trade and do not allow too many immigrants."
Datang's strategy for land was not to simply acquire and occupy it, but to make distinctions.
Places such as Japan, Liaodong, and Annan were closer to the Tang Dynasty and easier to control. More immigrants came to occupy those fertile lands. As long as they took root, these places would become the territory of the Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt about it.
But places like Luzon and Java are different. These places are floating overseas and crossing the ocean. No matter how powerful the navy is, it is difficult to completely control it. The ships have to run back and forth at sea for several months. How can it be completely controlled?
?
Although the Tang Dynasty has been established for a long time, most of the household registrations have not been restored after the Sui Dynasty. After the population increased significantly during the Zhenguan period, the number of household registrations in the country was only 3 million, with a population of 16 million. Once the immigration policy was liberalized, a large number of people flowed to
Uncontrolled remote island countries not only caused a sharp decline in the population of Datang, but also created many hidden dangers.
