In the autumn of the second year of Daye, Luoyang forbidden Zhongtai Chi Palace.

As the Dalien Imperial City of Daliang, the most prominent feature of Tai Chi Palace is its grandeur. And there is another reason why Tai Chi Palace is built so grandly that it is a bounty, that is, there is too much labor force.

The labor force mentioned here is mainly many prisoners of war with Hu people. After the powerful troops of the Daliang King Division were crushed, these Hu people were almost captured or surrendered in tribes and established institutions. This brought about a problem, that is, it was difficult to resettle.

It should be noted that these prisoners of war are not good. If they abandon the Argo, they are displaced people, and if they pick them up again, they are rioters. If they want to be properly placed, they must have strong force to deter them.

After the Daliang King Army conquered Jie Kingdom and unified the north and south, the troops must point to the four sides but still not settled the area, and it is impossible to stay in the place to monitor the resettlement of these Hu people.

Of course, there is an exception, that is, Tianzhong Heluo. Heluo is the base camp where the four-sided royal division returned to China and rested after a long battle. It is also the absolute center of the emerging empire. It has a main combat force of more than 100,000 people, which is a military advantage that other regions do not have.

Because of this, the Hu people were concentrated in Heluo, and gradually dismantled their original internal structure through labor. The heavy work could also eliminate the fierceness accumulated by these Hu people over the past years, reorganize and distribute them, and then use Luoyang as the center to transport services to all sides. This could prevent these Hu people from suddenly rebelling and rebelling to the greatest extent, and also retain these labor forces to the greatest extent and devote themselves to the reconstruction after a long war.

For example, after the King of Shu was sent to the south, Luozhong collected and reorganized nearly 20,000 people, and then went on. Except for some of them who needed to stay in Xiangyang to undertake lifelong labor, the rest needed to be pacified in Shuzhong and enter the southern and southern central areas of Shu in batches, becoming the pioneers of the king's army to continue to move south.

The southern central area belongs to Ningzhou. Although it is still under the control of China in name, it is actually before and after the coup in the east of Jinjiang, this area of ​​rule was controlled by local Tu people such as the Cuan family, and it was old. Even when Daliang was founded and Liang sent south to announce the announcement, it turned out to be despised.

At present, Daliang has just been unified, and all industries in the people's livelihood need to be revived. At the moment, there is not enough control to completely conquer Ningzhou, which does not mean that the Aotu Sect will turn a blind eye to those Aotu Sects, and will allow them to grow bigger and even threaten the rehabilitation after Shuzhong. It is also a matter of giving necessary blows to force them to surrender.

It is precisely because of the sufficient labor force of this type that the speed of Tianzhong Xingchuang is also amazing.

The grand rules of Tai Chi Palace also brought about a relatively helpless result, that is, the use of bans and bans, especially the use of people in the inner garden. There are only a thousand eunuchs in the inner garden.

Of course, there are not many saints and concubines today, but only one, one, two concubines. Even if they are children, thousands of people will serve them.

However, on the one hand, the existence of palace and eunuchs is not just as simple as serving daily food, clothing, daily life. Many necessary seals, rules and etiquettes are fixed. On the other hand, the forbidden garden is large in scale, and the distribution of these thousands of palace and eunuchs is really deserted and empty, so that for more than one year the forbidden garden was opened, many areas were still sealed and abandoned.

Based on this point, His Majesty the Emperor once proposed in Asahi that instead of letting the palace be abandoned, it would be better to release some areas for the civilian use. However, as soon as this proposal was put forward, it was denied by the ministers.

Just kidding! Even if the new dynasty is just established and needs to advocate thrift, it will not be bad for these houses of His Majesty the Emperor.

What's more, the place where the forbidden garden is related to the safety of the king. Today, the time is gathering, and the quality is complex. Once the ban is opened, the pressure and consumption of the guards will be much greater than the benefit that can be received, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

If this fails, it is not appropriate to allow the forbidden garden to be abandoned. Many ministers have made suggestions to recruit citizens to be kind to serve as a palace, but this issue was rejected by His Majesty the Emperor.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive. His Majesty the Emperor is worried about the frequent movement of the army, the military expenditure is heavy, and the vast territory is urgently needed to be rebuilt and created. At this time, a person wishes to be divided into two people, and women are also precious labor that is not inferior to those of the young man. He feels that it is too luxurious to retain thousands of people in the inner garden, so how can he collect manpower to abolish it in order to fill the palace?

In the end, the queen Sima, who was in charge of the inner garden, proposed a compromise plan, which was to entrust foreign women to enter the custody house for ten days, and take turns to replenish them.

The court rewarded merits, and the families of those meritorious people naturally received the reward of imperial edicts according to their husband's rank. Most of these destined wives do nothing, and they still have a lot of spare time in addition to taking care of their husbands and children. Moreover, there are many people with family backgrounds and extraordinary talents, who are more than enough to be in charge of the inner court and the outer court to be in charge of duty. The interaction between the inner court and the outer court can also strengthen the stability of the entire ruling group.

The Queen's plan was also recognized by the ministers of the outside court, so it was officially established in the second year of Daye. It was implemented for nearly half a year, and the results were excellent, and even the talent of a woman was revealed. She received the queen's elegant reward, and even the grade of her own imperial edict exceeded the extended award brought by the husband's merits.

In this way, both the inside and outside the courts were operating in an orderly manner, and after the beginning of autumn, the attack on Shu was also progressing smoothly. His Majesty the Emperor should have been in a good mood, but a small matter recently made him very upset, so he stopped returning to the garden and returned to Changqiu Palace where the queen lived and was still angry and had a gloomy face.

If the lord of the Empress's inner palace is really busy, it is not much easier than His Majesty. Although his experience is not a military and national task, it is much more complicated and fragmented.

However, in addition to this, her more important identity is naturally a wife. When she learned that the emperor had returned to the garden, she returned immediately. When she stepped into the hall gate, she saw His Majesty the Emperor's face gloomy. She waved her hand sideways, signaling the palace servant to withdraw, and personally walked into the hall with a plate of candied steamed pears.

Hearing the footsteps, His Majesty the Emperor was half lying on the couch, and when he saw the steamed pears in the tray, his brows frowned: "Good pears are crispy and sweet, but they just want to steam and cook them."

He was upset and was upset. When the queen heard this, she laughed. She stepped forward and leaned over to the emperor, picked up a steamed pear and cut it into pieces with a bamboo knife, and smiled and handed it to the emperor's mouth: "My husband is depressed and angry. If I am gentler than picky, I can't vent my vent. Isn't it even more impossible to vent? It's better to scold me for having a frustrated diet than to see me."

As they grew younger, especially after their identities made a huge span, the emperor's vigorous side became more revealed. Instead, the queen became more gentle and friendly, and her impetuousness and arrogance when she was young had completely faded.

"I am so angry with a few stupid people in the outer court. What does it have to do with my wife? They are worthy of making my husband and wife miss each other?"

When the emperor heard this, his anger dissipated a little. He took the bamboo stick of the pear, put the pear blocks into his mouth, and chewed it while scolding: "The children of the ancestors are so annoying, and they become arrogant with their merits! The Secretariat chose several times, but they all resigned and refused to accept it. Is he looking down on me, Daliang's famous title? When I have been patiently exhausted, I will blame his father for his old crime and take his title and salary!"

As he said that, he took the initiative to raise a steamed pear and shared it with the queen. He thought it would be crispy and sweet, but it would have a unique flavor, especially one of the tea fragrances, which neutralizes the astringency of tea leaves, and cleverly blends with the pear flavor, which makes it very smooth and smooth. He asked again: "The wife of Jin State sent it?"

The wife of Jin State is the wife of Ma Yan, the Jin State Company. She is now in the Yuanzhong, but her position is second, and she mainly takes care of her own business.

There are many destined wives in the garden. Now the country is frugal and simple. Even the Shendu Yufang artifacts are produced in a fixed manner, and the powerful families dare not stop. But there are exceptions, that is, Ma Yan, a company with favor and honor, and the business of jade food and delicacies is getting bigger and bigger.

After hearing this, the queen nodded and said a little dissatisfied: "That boy became more and more rampant, and he only said that everyone is as luxurious as him. A mere steamed pear is priced at 500 yuan. Previously, three thousand steamed pills were steamed in the shop, and I had asked someone to seal it and send it to Shouxing Palace, so he would not be allowed to make it again. Aweng's guests are all over the hall, and he can eat as he pleases."

Shouxing Palace was expanded by the hidden residence of Emperor Xuanren's small town, and is now the bedroom of Emperor Shen Chong.

When the emperor heard this, he was a little sad. His father was a heroic and heroic person, and his family was a prosperous leader in Jiangdong. He was not burdened by wealth in his life. Now he is respected as the Supreme Emperor, and his life is not as comfortable as in previous years. After all, the country is still frugal, and the Supreme Emperor is unwilling to give people the impression of being extravagant. Even if he occasionally adds new food, he actually has to rely on his wife to fight for the robbery of Qiufeng to his mother's house.

"If you try to do this, you should try to do less. Although Shigen dares not offend you, he has sent a letter to Ahe and said that his children's makeup will be greatly deficient."

Sima Yan and Shen Jin had already decided to marry their children, and sent a letter to Shen Jin, who was left behind in Chang'an, to complain and even threaten him with his future makeup dowry. It can be seen that the queen's plunder is quite strong.

However, the queen's method was too rough in the emperor's eyes, and her food was not very good. After a meal, he said to the queen: "I heard that Shigen secretly wrote the "Yugu Session Sutra" and recorded many fine methods of making grains. This is a relief from the technique of eating into the classics. Unfortunately, he was too precious to the Chongwenguan Clerk, and he could not visit the books and pavilions for several visits. It was really a pity. It was not beautiful to seize people's money and property. How could he seek Taoism? Beautiful food, delicacies, what people want, simple food is not a good state in the prosperous era. Next year, each side will settle down, and the country will flourish. It is inevitable that the grand ceremony of the great wise men will be welcomed by the scattered grain..."

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help laughing, raised her hand and knocked it on the emperor's shoulder, and showed her coquettish gesture in the past: "You are such a good brother-in-law, I always take responsibility for the evil relatives!"

At this time, the Jin State Duke's house in Jishanfang, Luonan, Ma Yan, who was studying at the desk to study, suddenly sneeze heavily. At this time, he didn't know that the Taotie couple in the garden were no longer satisfied with daily blackmail, but had already targeted this exquisite secret that he was still practicing and innovating to build a food empire!

After chatting with the queen in a trivial manner, the emperor felt much better. He mentioned the reason for his irritability just now, and his mentality was a little calmer: "The young master of Zushi gave birth to a good son. Zu Qing repeatedly resigned from his post and wanted to return north. He said that he was unable to give up his weapon. I also know what he did, and he did not lose his true nature. But how could a talented person in Zhongshu blindly follow the favor? He was so stubborn that it made me embarrassed."

The emperor had previously angrily scolded Zu Qing, but he did not hate him because he was really angry. On the contrary, he admired Zu Qing very much, and Zu Qing had a bizarre life experience and had the merit of serving the seal in Nantou. Reusing him is of great significance to the people of Hebei. Otherwise, he would not have to be frequently appointed as appointees after Zu Qing repeatedly refusing to say so.

In fact, as early as the first year of Daye, Zu Qing wrote a letter asking to return north and explain the reason in detail. The emperor naturally admired such a person who was not fond of fame and fortune and could not give up his old man.

However, at that time, the Daliang seal was newly established, and people everywhere in Hebei were still suspicious of the new dynasty, and Zu Qing's achievements were too dazzling. Such a powerful and powerful person could not be used by the court, but instead released it to the wild. In the eyes of the Hebei people, they would undoubtedly deepen their concerns about the south. Because it was about these memorials, the emperor kept them all and did not publish them.

Of course, there is another consideration. Although Zu Qing's deeds are very touching, the person involved is too sensitive. His wife is the daughter of Zhang Chai, the powerful minister of Jie State, which is one of the reasons why the emperor is unwilling to make a big fuss.

Hebei has been destroyed for a long time, but who doesn’t have many touching stories of loyalty? But from the perspective of governing the country, the lack of personal emotional choices interferes with the national policy and policy level.

In Hebei's long-term chaos, the new people and the people have not yet been decided. The emperor is planning to take advantage of the desolation of the system created by the tyranny of Jiezhu Shihu to establish a new system of rules in Hebei. Among them, the remnants of the Haozong clans in Hebei need to be eliminated. This policy will last for a long time.

This was a very serious and sensitive purge. The emperor wanted to use absolute force to deter the remnant fear of these wealthy families in Hebei, so that they could not see any room for seeking both ways, so that they would obediently obey the arrangements of the court and leave the countryside to choose a place to settle down.

If he gave Zuqing.com a look because of human feelings, what would happen?

By then, countless incidents like Zu Qing will emerge, and they can be sure to be confirmed. Because the existence of these Hebei rich families is one side, they have both sides of the countryside, steal the people's expectations, and they also have a side that protects the people's hometown and protects their hometown.

But now, what the court needs to emphasize is not whether they are loyal or not, but that they need to fully implement the implementation of the rules and regulations in Hebei. If an example like Zu Qing, who can be opened up and is well-known at this time, then no one can be sure whether it is big or small of the noise and the repetition of the situation.

Your Zu Qing was rewarded for his help from his righteous wife. The saints were blessed with great success and even Zhang Chai’s daughter could be rescued. But we also strive to protect the countryside, and hundreds of thousands of rural scholars survived. Now we do not seek commendation, but only seek to live in the countryside. If the court is so mean that he cannot even agree to this, then what is the difference between it and Shi Hu, the tyrant who is raging in Hebei?

The general trend is magnificent, but the cost of blood and tears in it will cause pain in some individuals.

Of course, the emperor can also secretly visit Zu Qing's family, but after the secretly separated from the capital, there must be someone to implement it. The reason why it is difficult to eliminate the wealthy family is that the relationship between the spider silk and the secret web. If a certain link is leaked during the execution process, will the ministers in the court follow this request? Should the emperor agree? One family and two families will open the same page, so should the government order be implemented?

In order to prevent requests, the emperor even sent Cui Lu, the representative of Hebei Renwang, to Jiangdong, and the imperial concubine Cui Ling accompanied her mother to stay in Longmen Taoist temple for a long time.

He wanted to use this decisive attitude to completely eliminate the lucky mentality of the wealthy families in Hebei, and the Cui family in Qinghe was on the first list of southward migrations.

Don’t move? Do you think that the Jiangnan region is not beautiful enough to settle down, or do you think that your neck is harder than the blade?

Therefore, the emperor appreciates and sympathizes with Zu Qing on one hand, but he will not open up an uncontrollable opening because of this.

The queen listened quietly to the emperor's story of the whole story. After all, she was a sentimental woman. When she heard the life and death pledge between Zu Qing and Zhang's daughter in such a dangerous situation, her eyes soon turned red. Of course, she was just sympathetic and would not blame her husband for being as strong as iron.

After listening to the emperor's story, the queen was speechless. After a moment, she suddenly said, "I reported to the courtyard the day before yesterday. Do you want to read it now?"

The so-called Fangbao is a kind of supervision rumor. The Daliang seal system is decided, and the supervision matters are in charge of the Censorate, but the Censorate’s main responsibilities are still in supervision, impeachment, and rectification of the court officials.

The original Silitai was also preserved, but it was no longer a separate outer court, but was placed under the supervision of the Secretariat Hall and became an existence similar to an internal official. He served as a field trip secret, mainly collecting the customs and feelings of the people in the market and the countryside, and gathering the court to report to the emperor.

The content of the commerce newspaper is very extensive, such as the prices of department stores in the city involving people's livelihood and folk customs of village festivals. However, there are also many absurd records, similar to rural rumors and officials' gossip about family affairs.

He does not seek to be sure of everything, but only wants to be able to record all aspects of the appearance of the sky. When the emperor is idle, he often uses it as a pastime reading material, and can also understand the people's attitudes more clearly.

The Fangbao reported a half-month report and was directly presented to the garden. After hearing this, the emperor nodded and ordered the palace servant to take the Fangbao.

The content of the newspaper is extensive and complicated, and it is as many as 100,000 words in one issue. After the emperor took it, the first thing he saw was the first page of the market situation. This page mainly records the price fluctuations of mainstream goods such as grain and salt in several major cities, which best reflects the current livelihood situation.

When the emperor saw that the grain price rose by nearly 50% compared with the previous month, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that the current people's livelihood is still fragile.

In the early years, the Northern Expedition to conquer Jie Kingdom and recover Hebei were related to the issue of unification of the country, and there was no need to discuss it. However, now that the overall situation of unification has been decided, people's livelihood cannot be ignored.

Although the war in Shu this year is only a regional war, the food price has increased more than twice compared with the beginning of the year. Of course, this is also because Jiangzhou, as one of the main granaries, has no exports, and it can be seen that the military has had a profound impact on people's livelihood.

After the overall situation was initially determined, in order to maintain the stability of the overall situation, many military forces had to be launched without restraint. Of course, it is impossible to completely stop the troops, not to mention that the territory has not been completely recovered, the border has not been completely stabilized.

Three years of reserve and one year of battle is a relatively stable rhythm. If it is frequent, it will affect the recovery of vitality in various places.

After looking through these boring reports and documents, we will find gossip content that the emperor is more interested in. It is a human interest to explore the privacy, and His Majesty the Emperor cannot avoid this.

In this gossip chapter, a strange case was first introduced to greatly increase the emperor's interest. It is about the Luoyang County Bureau arresting a fugitive. After careful examination, it was discovered that the fugitive was simply a treasure boy. The inside story was really rich and exciting.

This is not an ordinary escapee. In the first year of Daye, he settled in Tongjifang, southwest of Luoyang, and married his wife and settled his family under the leadership of the wing officials. He married a widow. However, he did not know that the widow's original husband was not dead, but was wandering in a foreign land. He returned to Luoyang in the middle of the year and found the widow.

How can a daughter be matched with two husbands? Because the widow lost her family and had a young son to raise, she had no choice but to report to the official to the office officials. She didn't want her husband to return, so she immediately became unable to choose a relationship. Later, the husband couldn't bear to have the widow's injury, so she took the initiative to leave the house, and her original husband entered her house and reunited with his wife and children.

From the perspective of the folk customs of the countryside, this is a perfect result for displaced in a chaotic era. But in the view of Daliang Luling, since the later husband has settled down and started a family, he escaped privately to escape. His ex-husband Gui Luo did not report to the government but occupied other people's family, which is a false household. The widow did not report it to the information and did not report it to hide. It can be said that all three of them were guilty!

These three crimes are both minor and serious. The most serious crime is the crime of a later husband escaping from a prison. The case is serious and even a major punishment is beheaded. The lesser one is also imprisonment for a minimum of two years. The ex-husband's crime of false registration is also subject to imprisonment depending on the case.

The crime of concealing a widow is lighter, and the fine is exempted, but if the fine is not paid, he will have to bear the punishment of being a disciple and a servant. Moreover, when the woman seeks an official favor, she misreports the information, which can be said to be fraud. Several crimes are punished together, and the crime is also not light.

Daliang's criminal law is very strict in controlling households, which is to prevent local tyrants and the power of the people. More than ten households are more than ten households, and even all departments need to interrogate and eliminate favoritism.

The emperor was attracted by this case and read it several times.

In essence, this incident was a tragic and tragic incident that arose after the world's chaos and new determination. In fact, the three people involved in the case were not wrong, but their behavior did violate the provisions of Liang Lu.

So is Daliang's law strict, law is not sympathetic, and suffering torture the people?

It should be noted that since Yongjia, wars have been going on for years. After the founding of the Kingdom of Daliang, everything needs to be put on track as soon as possible in the shortest time. The amendment of the laws is to ensure social stability.

These three people have violated the law at the moment, but before that, they were all protected and benefited by Daliang Ruling.

That husband was originally a dead household in Guanzhong, and there was no rural land for health. After years of labor, he had accumulated a lot of money and successfully settled his home in Luoyang and had a family of his own.

As for the woman, she had no choice but to support her son left by her ex-husband, the difficulty of life can be imagined. Because she joined the official mate hosted by the government, she found a support again and her living situation improved greatly.

That ex-husband was the virtue of the relocation of the dead household in the court that he had the opportunity to return to his hometown and successfully find his relatives.
To be continued...
