If you want to talk about Sanyuan County, it is naturally the dream place that many low-grade officials now dream of. Not to mention the other place, the tax revenue is rising year by year. Since becoming the fief of Su Marquis of Suning in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Su Marquis has promoted high-yield crops for free and purchased countless oxen to give farmers to cultivate land. It is nothing wrong to say that Sanyuan County is the richest county in the Tang Dynasty today.

The earliest tenants of Mr. Su’s Marquis had no worries about eating and drinking for three meals. They could eat dry food every day and eat salty vegetables. Maybe they could still eat oil and water. The method of raising pigs invented by Mr. Su. The pork was not only not fishy but also smelled bad, but was fragrant and delicious. The thick oil and tender meat were paired with tender meat. Oh my God, I was full of oil when I took a bite and it was a lifelong life.

So when the fief of Marquis Su expanded and increased, many ordinary people and farmers rushed to be Marquis Su's fief and then became the tenants of the Su family. They believed that this would allow you to eat and wear without worrying about food and clothing, and you could enjoy the happiness of being able to eat and eat for three meals a day. Oh my God, how happy it would be to be able to eat for three meals a day!

It is a joke to be rich first and then rich. Suning doesn't believe this. Human beings are selfish. That is human nature. The so-called good people naturally exist, but they will never exist in places where they can't even eat enough. Therefore, Suning must use strict laws to restrict these people, so they cannot make themselves superior to others when they are rich or force some people to become tenants of the Su family by relatively bad means.

This situation did happen. Dozens of households joined forces to expel a large number of farmers who wanted to enter Sanyuan County to settle down or even become the Su family's tenants to obtain land. Wang Yuan told Suning about this incident. This was a matter within the fief. Suning had the right to know, so Suning was furious and expelled all the dozens of tenants, giving their residence to the later group of farmers, allowing them to be Su family's fiefs and tenants. This incident had a profound impact on Sanyuan County and made Suning realize the importance of education and law.

People are selfish, aren’t they?

Suning later established rules to forcibly restrict the behavior of farmers and tenants. The richest fief tenants and ordinary farmers had to pay relatively high taxes to the Su family. The tax they paid before and their income was really not worth mentioning, but no matter what, this is a symbolic meaning. Rich farmers had to pay more taxes. Poor farmers could reduce taxes.

In this way, the atmosphere of Sujiazhuangzi and Sanyuan County was clear. Wang Yuan's work was carried out smoothly, and this practice was shamelessly stolen by His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er thought this was a relatively good idea. Wealthy places pay more taxes, while poor places can appropriately reduce taxes. This is a way to equalize the rich and poor, and a way to suppress the rich and support the poor, and ultimately reach the ideal state of harmony in the world...

Hahahaha...you're thinking too far...

Anyway, the Su family village had become a model of the Tang Dynasty, and the Su family model was imitated by many willing families. Even the Tang Dynasty officials were consciously imitating the Su family's practices. So for a time, various pilot areas in Guanzhong showed a prosperous attitude. The first batch of people who could eat enough without having to go hungry appeared. Suning attached great importance to this and asked His Majesty Li Er to hold on to the local legal system, because the so-called warmth is what it means to think about, if you don't speed up the legal construction and education construction, it is very likely that trouble will occur.

Suning’s concerns are not unreasonable. Keeping warm and thinking is a common problem of human beings and is inevitable. Only laws can stop it, education can be restricted, and two-pronged approach is the highest level of manpower. The Sujiazhuangzi crisis has also occurred many times in different places. It was severely cracked down by His Majesty Li Er with severe punishments. The first wave of wealth crisis was suppressed, but the second wave of greater crises is approaching, and Suning is very clear.

But even so, Sanyuan County has become a place that many officials dream of. I have to say that this is a good recipe for promotion, and there is no need to do anything. As long as you are there, even if you are inaction and wandering around every day, grain output and taxes will rise year by year. In just two years, I heard that the Sanyuan County Magistrate was about to settle in the central government. The current Sanyuan County Magistrate is probably not far from being promoted, so who is not jealous of that fat and shortage?

The most important thing is that Sanyuan County is the fief of Marquis Su. Once he becomes the county magistrate, he can still get in touch with Marquis Su. People outside say that Wang Yuan’s promotion is so fast because Marquis Su is protected from behind. Marquis Su is a celebrity in front of the emperor. Isn’t it true that a small official can find a way out? If he can get in touch with Marquis Su and become the county magistrate of Sanyuan, then promotion and wealth are just around the corner!

Xu Zhi couldn't help but have this idea because he didn't want to continue working as a county magistrate of Chang'an County. Chang'an City was full of rampant children of aristocratic families or children of meritorious officials of generals. The emperor wanted to take care of the children of aristocratic families but could not take care of them immediately, and the emperor wanted to cover up the children of generals at all.

The emperor personally told Xu Zhi that when he read the "Book of Han", he was very disgusted with the Han people's harsh treatment of the heroes. Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, who set a precedent, was very blamed. People fought for you through life and death, but they were cunning and killed by the rabbit and the dog. What is this? So after the founding of the country, they tried their best to protect those heroes. Those heroes fought against the country through life and death with themselves. Now that the country has been defeated, they should enjoy it. As the emperor, they should give them everything they deserve. As for their arrogant and domineering, it is inevitable that they hope that Xu Zhi can turn a blind eye.

His Majesty Li Er said this easily, but Xu Zhi was difficult to do. In recent years, Xu Zhi was diligent and trembling as the magistrate of Chang'an County and did not dare to make any mistakes. However, the emperor always vaguely remarked on how the children of wealthy families and the children of meritorious families should respond. In fact, he was born at the wrong time. If he had been in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the emperor would definitely not have had such an attitude.

His Majesty Li Er had something in his words, but he had not finished speaking. After Yuchi Gong was furious and almost blinded Li Daozong's eyes, His Majesty Li Er was very unhappy. He realized that he treated the heroes too well. He also realized that Emperor Gaozu of Han was not strict with his heroes because he deliberately wanted to deal with them, but because they were arrogant and domineering to destroy the country's legal system, which was not good for the newly established country. What's more, they became unscrupulous, so the Han family did this, but later they became a little biased.

The establishment of the Hundred Cavalry Division in the 11th year of Zhenguan and the training of Yuchi Gong were the turning point in the Zhenguan Dynasty's attitude towards heroes.

Unfortunately, Xu Zhi didn't catch up with this good time...

So he really wanted to work in Sanyuan County. He had a good relationship with Suning. He had worked with him. Marquis Su knew his abilities and his character. His Majesty Li Er had never been very clear about him. He seemed to feel that he was not qualified enough. He could not be promoted or released. In this way, he could not continue to do this position. He could only use the power of others to escape. After all, he was not a retainer of His Majesty Li Er. He was a poor family.

Suning also understood this. When Wang Yuan was promoted, he had to leave the position of governor of Yongzhou. The protection of Sanyuan County could not continue. The guy who succeeded Sanyuan County Magistrate was quite qualified, but if he was promoted, he would not know where he would go. Whether he would stay in Yongzhou as governor may not be necessary. Suning urgently needed to expand his "his own" team, and Xu Zhi was a good choice.

They were promoted to the central government one by one through the position of Sanyuan County Magistrate. Maybe in the future, the court would really form a force called the "Sanyuan Gang". Hehe, it is really possible. Xu Zhi's ability is qualified and a qualified official. The Zhenguan Dynasty needed such a person. Even if he was promoted by himself, His Majesty Li Er would use it.

So after making this promise to Xu Zhi, Xu Zhi happily sent it to the palace to meet His Majesty Li Er. When Suning entered the palace study and saw His Majesty Li Er's poker face, Suning knew what he needed to do and what he wanted to do. Suning also understood, that was - take the initiative to apologize!

"I have made a big mistake. I'm here to apologize. I'll ask Your Majesty to punish him!" Suning bowed and blocked His Majesty Li Er's mouth first and seized the opportunity. This is the time to test his IQ and verbal words. If he can tell this matter that if he doesn't kill someone, he will be killed. He will be safe and will not even suffer from flesh and blood. Suning still has this confidence.

His Majesty Li Er said coldly: "Don't think I'll let you go if I do this. Boy, you've done a bit too much. Didn't they just burn a book? You even burned the whole family? Do you think this is Yinshan, and you can burn it if you want? Bastard! How do you think this matter is solved?"

Suning raised his head and said, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. What does burn a book mean? What is it like to burn a book? Even if we have papermaking and printing techniques, we cannot regard books as waste paper! In the past, his Majesty also knew how much time it took for a book to be made from papermaking to book, and those people also knew that they were burning books in public when they knew that the price of books was very bad!

This is not just the reason for me. In ancient times, Qin Shihuang burned books, and Dong Zhuo burned books. Both of them were guilty, and Dong Zhuo was even more guilty of being extremely evil. But now these Confucians have forgotten how Qin Shihuang treated them, and they actually wanted to do things about Qin Shihuang, and wanted to make a ruling in culture, so that other theories would lose their living environment. As a descendant of the Zongheng family, I would definitely not accept it!

This time, I burned the Xiong family, not only to seek justice for me and my family, but also to warn everyone that whoever dares to burn books will burn his family, which shows that I will unswervingly defend the culture and intimidate all villains! Please also ask Your Majesty to take a closer look!"

Suning said the words were honest and open, and His Majesty Li Er almost laughed out loud: "What do you mean is that you are not only innocent, but have made achievements? Or are you a great achievement for all eternity?"

Suning blinked his eyes and said nothing. His Majesty Li Er put away his smile and snorted coldly: "Hmph! I know that I am too poor to reason? I set fire in Chang'an City during the day. Do you know how many foreign envoys are in Chang'an City at this time. Your black smoke is so bright that all Chang'an can see clearly. Those who don't know thought that a rebellion occurred in the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Do you believe it or not, foreign envoys will come to ask me immediately?

If you do this, you shamelessly say what you maintain your culture. You have the attitude to say it out! I decided to deprive you of your fief income for one year and be banned for three months. You can't go anywhere except for the palace to come to study! I'll study well at home and do what you should do. You said that you should study well and cultivate yourself and change yourself in five years. I still have high expectations for you. Who knew that reading was like this!

This time I miss you when you are young, and I miss you for the first time, the punishment I gave you is not very serious, but I won’t be an example. If there is another time, do you know the consequences? I must kill you!" His Majesty Li Er looked viciously and seemed to be joking. Suning also complained in his heart. I guess you wouldn’t be happy if I did this... (To be continued...)
