Outside the Luoyang Bridge in Quanzhou

At this time, a group of civil and military officials in Quanzhou gathered near Luoyang Bridge again to welcome the imperial court's "instructor minister".

However, in the Song Dynasty, the "Imperial Envoy's Minister" was not called "Imperial Envoy", but was called "Imperial Envoy" or "Imperial Envoy".

Yesterday, Li Sanjian and others received news that the imperial envoys from the court were about to arrive in Quanzhou today, so Li Sanjian, Cui Yongye and other officials of Quanzhou Prefecture were waiting here.

Li Sanjian was the most disgusted with this kind of thing. When the imperial envoy came, the prefecture not only needed entertainment, reception, banquet, etc., but also gave gifts, such as card copying gifts, station passing gifts, etc.

If you encounter corrupt officials, you should think of the number of social engagements based on their arrogance... Where some special envoys of the court pass by, such as plucking their hair by geese, the government is tired of social engagements, and the people are living in poverty.

However, no matter how disgusted Li Sanjian was, he had to wait here and face him ten miles away. He had to be respectful and respectful, and he could not be disrespectful. The reason was that the envoy represented the court and the emperor. The consequences of "facedness to the emperor" were very serious.

"Li Zhizhou, why are you worried about? Is it a matter of measurement?" Quanzhou General Cui Yongye saw Li Sanjian's appearance of bitterness and grudges, so he also said with a frown: "The officials also think that the measurement should not be too urgent. They should take it slowly. In addition, this matter should be reported to the Ming court before they can be done. This is a safe plan."

It has been nearly half a year since Li Sanjian took office in Quanzhou. During this six months, Li Sanjian has regulated water, stabilized rice prices, provided relief, comforted, resettled disaster victims, built roads, paved bridges, and developed commerce. At this time, Quanzhou has begun to show a prosperous and prosperous scene.

But at this time, Li Sanjian didn't know what was going on... he actually had to measure the land? Can you measure the land easily?

Song did not suppress land annexation. Since Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, he formulated a national policy of "not suppressing annexation" and "non-establishment of land", and allowed land annexation to be freely traded.

The Song Dynasty's "Two Tax Law" was taxed on land rather than on the head, and "sacrificing land". In this way, relaxing restrictions on land transactions can release a certain amount of vitality, promote competition, realize the optimal allocation of resources, and promote agricultural development. In this way, the Song Dynasty's economy was unprecedentedly prosperous and commerce was highly developed.

But at the same time, it also caused serious consequences, that is, a large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of a few powerful people, officials, and families. The powerful officials used forced buying and selling, and loan sharks to make a large number of farmers lose their land, becoming unemployed vagrants, refugees, and a serious gap between the rich and the poor.

However, the powerful landlord concealed the number of land acres, or used it as good times. It was originally a good land, but lied to be a bad land to achieve the goal of tax evasion.

The consequence of this is that the government’s “two taxes” are insufficient, and basically, farmers who occupy less land pay more taxes.

Li Sanjian is currently in a humble state and cannot solve the problem of "land annexation" in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, he intends to start from the matter of "concealing the land" and measure the land they actually occupy and force them to pay taxes.

Even if Li Sanjian was the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, he could not solve the problem of "land annexation" in the Song Dynasty. This is basically a matter of going against the will of heaven...

But re-measurement of land is also difficult. There are too many things involved in all aspects. How should we measure it? What method can we use to measure it accurately? Measure the excess land

How should we deal with it? The powerful land regards land as their life. Will they be willing to let you measure it? It even involves noble families, royal relatives, royal relatives, etc. The rabbit dies and foxes are sad. Even if Li Sanjian can successfully measure the land in Quanzhou, what should the powerful landlords in other parts of the Song Dynasty think? They must be trying to get rid of Li Sanjian and then get it.

If Li Sanjian forced his measurement, it might also cause Quanzhou to be disturbed. If he reached such a situation, Li Sanjian and others would be worried.

In fact, Li Sanjian only mentioned his own ideas to Punishment Cui Tong, and was opposed by Cui Yongye.

Li Sanjian looked at Cui Yongye and asked, "Prime Minister Cui Tong believes this matter is not feasible?"

"You must not do it!" Cui Yongye replied firmly: "The officials thought that there were many problems in the Maritime Warehouse Department, so the most urgent task at present is the Maritime Warehouse Department."

Cui Yongye certainly understood Li Sanjian's eagerness to promote profit and eliminate disadvantages, and was relieved to meet such a formal official. However, everything must be gradual and must not be promoted to grow. Haste can't be achieved. If you are too impatient, things will go against your wishes and will ruin big things.

Cui Yongye did not want a young official who was very capable to die early and was submerged in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.

"Oh...just judge Cui Tong." Li Sanjian sighed and said.

As Cui Yongye said before, such a huge "project" must be supported by the court and Emperor Zhao Ji of Song. He must continue to support it before it can be completed. Otherwise, not only will this matter die halfway, but even Li Sanjian will be affected.

When the time is right, I will definitely make a fuss about this matter. At this time, Li Sanjian was still extremely unwilling to accept it.

"Prince Cui Tong, Li still said that if you want to govern affairs, you must first govern people. If you want to govern the affairs of the Market and the Bureau, you must first govern people and rectify the administration. I wonder what Pray Cui Tong has to do with this?" Li Sanjian then asked Cui Yongye.

"Haha, Cui said the same thing. You need to proceed step by step, and you should not make progress with excellence." Cui Yongye smiled when he heard this, touched his beard and touched his beard.

Li Sanjian nodded in his approval.

There are many disadvantages in the Maritime Warehouse Department. Li Sanjian also understood this, but he had not yet fully understood it and had not yet understood it thoroughly. Therefore, the Maritime Warehouse Department should also be governed as Cui Yongye said, and should proceed step by step, and not be greedy for merits and advance recklessly.

Cui Yongye was mature and polite, and was really a good helper for him. At this time, Li Sanjian was quite fortunate that he could meet such an assistant official. If he met someone who was incompatible with him everywhere, then Li Sanjian would have a hard time.

"Why is the holy envoy's carriage still missing?" At this time, an official from the state yamen came over and complained.

Although winter is approaching, the weather is cooler and cloudy, people will still feel extremely tired and uncomfortable after standing for a long time.

"Hang!" Cui Yongye's face darkened and he repelled the official.

No matter when they wait, they must wait here before the tutor arrives.

Damn, which bastard is coming? It's so annoying to be slap in his heart. Li Sanjian was also waiting for a dry mouth and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

However, even though Li Sanjian scolded him, he still had to wait here until noon, until it was drizzling in the sky, until everyone was waiting for him to faintly make an appointment

The carriage of the Fuyu envoy came slowly from a distance.

"We have seen the Holy Envoy!"

After the chariot of the tutor arrived, everyone saw a green-robed official coming down from the carriage, and before he could see clearly his face, he bowed together.

"Haha, Li Hanren, I am here!" Before the tutor could completely go down, he said to Li Sanjian with a smile.

Is it him? After seeing the face of the fuyu envoy clearly, Li Sanjian was suddenly "shocked" and stared at the other party in a daze, unable to believe his eyes.

.............

"Li Hanren, Quanzhou is the cleanest of all the cities Ye passed by." After the Song Dynasty's tutor Ye Mengde was full of wine and meals, he exclaimed at the tidy streets of Quanzhou.

In addition to neat trees, a spacious street in Quanzhou also has flowers, plants, and raindrops fall on the ground to form a clear stream and flow to both sides of the street. There are almost no soil in the clear water flow. Many shops on the street are also located on both sides of the street, lined up very neatly and did not occupy the roads on the street. There are even a small garden or a clear pool at the intersection of several streets. There are many pedestrians and merchants on the street. Some walk with rain gear on the street, while others hide under the eaves to shelter from the rain, making it difficult to mess up.

Ye Mengde breathed the fresh air and suddenly felt a sense of comfort, and suddenly had the urge to live here for a long time.

"Where, where, Brother Shaoyun praised me!" Li Sanjian said humbly after hearing this.

Previously, Li Sanjian heard that a special envoy of the court would come to Quanzhou, so he read all the people he knew among the court officials, but he didn't expect that it was Ye Meng who ordered the court to inspect Quanzhou.

Ye Meng was appointed as the Jinshi of Shaosheng, and was first appointed as the county magistrate of Dantu, and later moved to the official as the editor of Liwu. Not to mention the rank of officials compared with important officials of the court, even Li Sanjian was much higher than that of him.

In this way, why was he elected as the imperial envoy to inspect Quanzhou?

Li Sanjian originally thought that the court would at least select an official of fourth rank or above to come...

In fact, the proclamation envoy or the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the emperor is temporarily appointed by the emperor, and the official position of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the tutor of the

However, in most cases, it is still a person with high status and authority to be appointed as a sacrificial envoy or a sacrificial envoy. It is rare for seventh-rank officials like Ye Mengde to be appointed to their posts.

What Li Sanjian didn't know was that Ye Mengde's appointment was the result of fierce debate in the court, and of course it was also the meaning of Emperor Zhao Ji of Song.

Li Sanjian was in a happy mood at this time, because Ye Mengde was his old acquaintance. So no matter what, he would not distort the facts and not exaggerate them. At least he would always tell the truth, right?

However, even so, Li Sanjian's attitude was still extremely submissive.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Although Li Sanjian's official rank is higher than him, Ye Mengde represents the court at this time, and is the current emperor. He has the power of inspectors and supervision in his hands and must not be underestimated.

Li Sanjian reminded himself in his heart like this.
