Su Dingfang said: "Actually, the Zuo Wuwei is not suitable for you, nor is it suitable for displaying your talents."

Xue Rengui whispered: "After leaving Jingyang, I knew that many things were not something I could decide on myself."

After the Battle of Goguryeo, Xue Rengui came to Zuowuwei according to His Majesty's will.

All of this is indeed what Your Majesty meant.

Xue Rengui said again: "This is the will. You cannot refute it or make a decision. It will not care about what you think."

Su Dingfang smiled bitterly, "Seldom people say this, and many people will be happy to receive His Majesty's order, let alone rewards."

While speaking, Su Dingfang paused and had an idea that had never been seen in his heart. He whispered: "It is indeed like you said, it will not care about what you think in your heart, and you cannot refuse it."

If you want to talk about the difference between the Jingyang Guard and the Zuowu Guard, everything must be subject to orders and do things.

Over the past few days, Xue Rengui has become more and more aware of what he thinks in his heart. He has never been able to say it before, but now he has an inexplicable feeling in his heart that the different feeling in Jingyang Guard and Zuo Wugu is fair.

In the Zuowu Guard, everything must be followed by superior generals, but in Jingyang, everyone is equal.

Especially in Chang'an, this sense of oppression between superiors and subordinates will be more obvious.

I am used to my days in Jingyang, and this feeling is very obvious among the Weifu Army.

This inexplicable and strong class makes people uncomfortable.

It seems that everyone else can get involved quickly.

Wei Zheng's memorial to Li Shimin for investigation of the land mu was gone for a while.

Li Shimin seemed to have never seen this memorial.

After ten days of investigation, the Ministry of Revenue finally checked all the land in Jingyang.

Wei Zheng brought a full cart of files back to Chang'an.

Li Zheng stood at the entrance of the village and said goodbye, "If Duke Zheng has time, he will come to Jingyang often."

Wei Zhengfuxu said, "I will be very busy in the future, so don't worry too much about me."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Then you always walk slowly."

Wei Zheng led officials from the Ministry of Revenue to walk out of the village entrance.

Li Zheng stood at the entrance of the village and watched them watch.

After returning to Chang'an, Wei Zheng walked into the palace with a memorial.

After coming to Ganlu Hall, Wei Zheng saw Li Shimin handing over a memorial and said, "Your Majesty, the fields in Jingyang have been checked in full."

Li Shimin whispered: "Tell me."

Wei Zheng opened the memorial and recited: "There are 310 hectares of land in Jingyang, of which 161 hectares of paddy fields are cultivated and 85 hectares of dry fields are all idle land."

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "Where is the tax?"

Wei Zheng continued: "In previous years, the taxes were 16,000 shi and 20,000 shi, and this year the taxes were 50,000 shi."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Fifty thousand stones of grain?"

Can Jingyang really be taken out?"

Wei Zheng handed over the memorial and said: "After verifying, I have more and more taxes paid in Jingyang. This is the result of my investigation with the Ministry of Revenue in the past few days."

Li Shimin looked at the memorial and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng and saw that Wei Zheng was still standing there, Li Shimin whispered: "Is there anything else?"

Wei Zheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have not replied to the memorial submitted a few days ago."

After reading the memorial, Li Shimin put down and said, "Wei Zheng, I have considered this matter myself."

Wei Zheng also said: "Your Majesty, it is imperative to investigate the fields in the world."

Seeing Wei Zheng's expression a little excited, Li Shimin stood up and said, "Wei Zheng, you and I know that the investigation of the world's fields is very important. In fact, it's a matter of two or three sentences!"

Wei Zheng lowered his head and did not refute. This was right. What a big deal to investigate the land in the world.

Not to mention the Central Plains, just say that the fields in Chang'an are a bad debt.

Can I check it?

Can't stand the investigation.

Can you check it out?

Li Shimin said: "If there is nothing else, you should also step down first, I will remember this in my heart."

Wei Zheng bowed and said, "I will leave."

Jingyang

After seeing Wei Zheng off, Yan Liben set off with the engineering team.

Li Zheng sat leisurely by the Jingyang River fishing.

Li Tai also walked over listlessly.

The two sat by the river for a while and were silent.

"There are some rumors in the court recently."

Li Tai spoke first.

Li Zheng looked at the calm river and said, "What rumors?"

Li Tai whispered: "This time the Ministry of Revenue's investigation of the land has spread in the court, and this time the investigation of your Jingyangguang is nearly a hundred hectares of land. For such a big harvest, the Ministry of Revenue will laugh at you."

Li Zheng held the fishing rod and said, "There is nothing to hide."

After washing his face with river water, Li Tai raised his mind and said, "Recently, a sound came from the court that he wanted to investigate the fields in the world."

Li Zheng sighed: "This is a big deal."

Li Tai said: "But my father never talked about this, but it made some powerful people very nervous."

Li Zheng said: "I am not interested in things in the court."

Li Tai still said: "I always feel that my father will not check the land. This matter is too important. With his father's temperament, even if someone submits a memorial, I think my father will definitely read it and put it aside."

After thinking for a while, Li Tai said, "Do you think there is such a possibility? Someone has indeed submitted a memorial to investigate the fields, but the father did not want to investigate after reading them. Because there are too many things involved, the father did not want to investigate them, but he just made a noise outside to comfort the powerful people outside, just to consider the investigation of the fields in Jingyang, which was a shocking tiger."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "What makes people most afraid is that the knife did not chop down, but the knife that has been hanging on his head is the most shocking one. Your father is good at this method."

Li Tai shook his head and said, "There will be a period of time when the powerful and powerful will be more restrained, but it will only be a period of time. It will still be the same in the future. After people forget this, they will be like what they will be like."

The serious land annexation was also the reason for the destruction in the late Tang Dynasty.

This is a problem accumulated in all dynasties.

Li Shimin is still in power, and nothing will happen in the next nearly a hundred years.

This is a long-term illness, and land management is a very complicated issue.

It is not easy to handle the conflict between the powerful and imperial power well.

There are many aspects involved.

Li Tai looked at Li Zheng catching a grass carp, and saw that Li Zheng didn't say anything and asked again: "Li Zheng, what do you think you should do about this?"

Putting the fish in the bamboo basket, Li Zheng said, "I don't want to think about these things now."

Li Tai asked curiously: "Then what are you thinking?"

Li Zheng said helplessly: "I'm wondering what to eat tonight. Are I making the fish soup?

Or steam it?”
