The twenty-fourth day of the lunar month is the third day of Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er's wedding.On this day, it is the day when the bride returns to the door.Zhao Yunze and Qin Mo'er came to Qin Qiong's mansion with many gifts.On Qin Qiong's mansion, a banquet was set up again today to entertain the new son-in-law.The relatives of the Qin family and the officials who were good friends with Qin Qiong also came.I don't want to mention it.On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the yamen of the imperial court were sealed.After today, the various yamen of the imperial court will no longer handle official business, unless there is an emergency.As mentioned above, the Tang Dynasty had a systematic vacation system, and the holidays stipulated by the state, in addition to the normal Mu vacation, there were also holiday holidays and personal leave.In terms of the improvement of the leave system, the leave system of the Tang Dynasty is of milestone significance in ancient Chinese history.The Spring Festival, no matter which dynasty in China, is an important festival at all times.Officials of the Tang Dynasty could enjoy a seven-day holiday during the Spring Festival.These seven days are from the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month to the fifth day of the first month of the new year.On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the yamen of the imperial court were sealed.Starting tomorrow, the yamen will be busy cleaning up and distributing welfare materials for the holidays to officials.It can be said that starting from the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the Tang Dynasty officials are also officially busy with the New Year.In the ninth year of Wude, many important events happened in Datang.The most important point is that the emperor's throne has been replaced.If there is another thing that is not noticed, but is no less important to the Tang Dynasty than the emperor's throne replacement, that is, a person named Zhao Yunze traveled through 1,500 years of time and space and came to the Tang Dynasty.On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Li Shimin and Zhao Yunze, two important figures of the Tang Dynasty, met again in the Wude Hall of Taiji Palace.Net: "Peng Yu, didn't I give you a marriage leave."
You have to rest for twenty-three days, even if you have marriage leave and annual leave.Why did you come to see me so quickly" Li Shimin sat behind the imperial case and asked Zhao Yunze lazily.has been busy for a year, and Comrade Lao Li also wants to rest, but Zhao Yunze ran into the palace early in the morning and asked to see him.This made Comrade Lao Li very unhappy."
Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is bored to disturb Your Majesty, but the minister has an important matter, if you don't report it to Your Majesty a year ago, then in the coming year, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Zhao Yunze said."
Oh, then tell me what you want to do."
Li Shimin's tone was still very lazy, and he didn't seem to think that what Zhao Yunze was going to report was very important."
Your Majesty, a few months ago, the minister mentioned to you the prevention and control of agricultural disasters in the Tang Dynasty, I wonder if you have ever convened officials to discuss it," Zhao Yunze asked.Li Shimin said: "You said this, when you went to Shuofang, I convened all the ministers to discuss. ”"I don't know if there will be a result," Zhao Yunze asked again.Li Shimin said: "The ideas of the ministers are nothing more than to improve and strengthen water conservancy, tuntian and other matters.Wei Zheng proposed that the imperial court should follow the example of the former Sui and set up Yicang and Changping to deal with disaster relief and stabilize grain prices.However, now that Datang is in short supply, this Yicang and Changping are set up, and there are many resistances.To put it bluntly, it is the grain reserve warehouse of ancient China.In good years, the imperial court collected grain at a price slightly higher than the market price, so as not to hurt the peasants; In disaster years and harvest years, the imperial court put grain on the market at a price lower than the market price to stabilize the price of grain.In addition, in the year of the catastrophe, the grain used by the imperial court for disaster relief was also allocated from Changping.In some dynasties, during spring ploughing, the grain loans that are often closed will be used as grain seeds by the peasants, and the loans will be repaid after the autumn harvest.In the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's reform of the green seedling method, also known as the "Changping New Law", was based on the practice of Changping.In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, he was placed in Kyoto; Five years after the opening of the emperor, he placed a righteous warehouse.At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Chang Ping and Yicang were abolished, and at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, they were not replaced.In the original history, in the second year of Tang Zhenguan, the imperial court ordered the state and county to set up a righteous warehouse, and where the land was purchased for two liters of corn and stored, it was given to or loaned to the people in the fierce year to pay back for the autumn maturity; In thirteen years, Lingluo, Xiang, You, Xu, Qi, And, Qin, and Pu Zhuzhou closed their positions.After Taizong, the Tang emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to the setting of Changping and Yicang.In the first year of Xianzong Yuanhe in 806, it was stipulated that the state governments should take two tenths of the annual land and mu tax to close positions and righteous positions, and according to the regulations, they should make loans.Since then, the functions of the regular closing position and the righteous position have been integrated, and it is called the regular closing and righteous position.During the Wude period, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, because the country was still unstable, it did not close the position and righteous position.Although Wei Zheng's proposal is good, it is also a fact that there is a shortage of food in Datang at this time.In ancient times, the price of food was a barometer of social stability.The more war-torn the year, the more expensive the price of food.The more peaceful and prosperous the times, the cheaper the price of food.During the Wude period, when the price of grain was the most expensive, it used to be as high as thousands of dollars of rice; During the Zhenguan period, when the price of grain was the cheapest, it was only seven or eight dollars a bucket of rice.Now the price of grain in Chang'an City is more than 200 yuan a bucket, which is already very expensive.From this, it can also be seen that Datang's national strength at this time is weak."
Peng Yu, I remember asking you to think about this matter too, I don't know if you have a good discussion."
Li Shimin asked Zhao Yunze again.Zhao Yunze thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, although there is a shortage of food in the Datang market at present, it does not mean that Datang really has no food.As far as the minister knows, in the hands of those gate valve families, I am afraid that there is no shortage of food.Why doesn't the imperial court buy grain from them and put it in the righteous warehouse and close the warehouse" Li Shimin showed a wry smile on his face and said: "The Tang Dynasty family has five surnames and seven clans, and nearly half of the land in the world is in their hands, so they are naturally not short of food.Nowadays, the price of grain in Datang is still high, and it is not caused by the hoarding of these gate valve families and raising food prices behind their backs.But then again, not to mention that the imperial court has no money to buy grain from these gate lord families now, even if the imperial court is rich, they may not sell grain to the imperial court. ”Zhao Yunze was deeply convinced of Li Shimin's words.In the Tang Dynasty, the power of the gate valve could completely compete with the imperial court.The five surnames and seven clans mentioned by Li Shimin have been the representatives of the scholar clan since the Jin Dynasty.As the saying goes, there is no thousand-year-old court, but there is a thousand-year-old family.These big families, because they have a large amount of land resources and human resources, have been a force that should not be underestimated by those in power in all dynasties.As far as the current Tang Dynasty is concerned, the officials in the court are also full of people from the gate valve family.Even, those old gate valve families don't look down on the emerging Li royal family.If Li Shimin wants to buy grain from them, it is really not an easy thing.Zhao Yunze listened to Li Shimin's words and was silent.He was silently thinking about whether there was a way to buy food from the family gatekeeper."
Open the middle method," Zhao Yunze muttered three words
