Chapter 150

Chen Jingzong met He Qingxian on the morning of November 13th, that He Qingtian who was said to be an old friend with the old man but once criticized his elder brother and third brother for their improper fame.

Before Chen Jingzong stood in the queue of military officers, he saw the old man in front of him looking back and beckoning him to go over.

This bit of face still has to be given, Chen Jingzong walked forward unhurriedly.

Chen Tingjian introduced to He Qingxian: "This is my four sons." He asked Chen Jingzong to perform the junior salute.

Chen Jingzong called his uncle not so enthusiastically.

He Qingxian looked him up and down, and said to Chen Tingjian with some sarcasm: "I have inherited your good looks."

The implication is that Chen Jingzong's son-in-law was obtained purely by virtue of his face. Chen Tingjian should have rejected the late emperor's gift of marriage at the beginning, don't let his son take advantage of it.

Chen Tingjian didn't respond. Chen Jingzong didn't like to hear it anymore. He looked at He Qingxian and said, "You really hit the mark. What I am most grateful to the old man in my life is that he gave me this face. Whenever I am ugly, black, and short,, even the long princess might look down on me."

He Qingxian: ...

The officials who listened with pricked ears snickered a few times. He Qingxian's words were blunt. Didn't the son-in-law's "ugly spots, black spots and short spots" just insinuate He Qingxian's appearance?

In fact, He Qingxian can be regarded as having good facial features and a dignified appearance, but who made him torment himself to have a farmer-like complexion, and now he is standing next to Chen Tingjian?Still yin and yang, Chen Jingzong relied on his face to be his son-in-law.

"Back off!" Chen Tingjian yelled at his son who was not rude.

Chen Jingzong also choked on him casually: "Master Chief-of-Staff is really Han Han, others obviously look down on you, yet you are still rushing to let your sons find friendship."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Chen Tingjian glared at him, then looked at He Qingxian.

He Qingxian smiled: "This temperament is not like it was raised by your old Chen's family."

Chen Tingjian flicked his sleeves, and he didn't bother to put on such a face with him anymore.

In the court hall, Chen Tingjian and Chen Chief-of-Staff, who usually have no one dared to provoke him, finally met their opponents, and quarreled with He Qingxian over several matters.

Civil and military officials are confused, isn't He Qingxian called by Chen Tingjian to help him carry out the New Deal? Why does He Qingxian even criticize Chen Tingjian?

But soon the officials realized that He Qingxian wanted to deal with them, but the Chief-of-Staff was dissatisfied with He Qingxian's strictness and kept speaking for them!

Now, even those officials who were dissatisfied with Chen Tingjian put aside their prejudices and helped Chen Tingjian for the time being. After all, Chen Tingjian only wanted them to work diligently and do their errands.A corrupt official and a crime of negligence!

In the evening of that day, all the officials in the capital were delayed by at least two quarters of an hour before placing their orders!

When the night was dark, when Chen Jingzong returned home, he first complained to Hua Yang about He Qingxian: "This man is just a troublemaker, he just doesn't like the old man, elder brother, and third brother, why should he look down on me when we meet?"

Hua Yang: "Why does he look down on you?"

Chen Jingzong: "Praise me for my good looks, but secretly ridicule that I am not worthy of marrying a princess except for my face."

Hua Yang: "At least he praised you."

Chen Jingzong put down his chopsticks and looked over in disbelief: "Don't you respect the old man the most, and you also love our three brothers? Now He Ge always targets our father and son, and you still speak for him. You are not so quick to like the new and dislike the old."

Hua Yang: "I'm being fair. He is an old friend with my father, and my father didn't think of reusing him until he was Chief-of-Staff for three years. He complained to his father, and then angered you three brothers, it is worth your consideration."

Chen Jingzong recalled the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two old men in the early court, and he gloated: "The old man must regret listening to you now."

Hua Yang: "Father's mind is like the sea, and if he dared to transfer him to Beijing, he had already made sufficient preparations."

Chen Jingzong: ...

He finally understood that the two old men are the best with her!

At the end of the winter month, sister-in-law Yu Xiu brought Wan Yi to visit Huayang, and also gave Hua Yang a brocade box for Mrs. Sun.

Inside the brocade box is a complete set of "Regulations on Qingzhang", written by Chen Tingjian himself.

In the previous life, in the second year of Yuanyou, the imperial court cleared the land in the whole country, and the "Regulations on Qingzhang" were also printed and posted in various prefectures, counties, villages and towns. Hua Yang also asked Wu Run to get a copy back.

Although it is not possible to memorize every word, Hua Yang probably remembers the content. At this time, comparing this version of the new regulations that have not yet been distributed, Hua Yang quickly discovered the difference.

My father-in-law's "Regulations on the Qingzhang" has a total of eight articles. The main contents of these eight articles are the same in the two lives, but the regulations in this life have the shadow of He Qingxian.It is stipulated that mountains, forests, tidal flats, houses, cemeteries and other landforms shall not be classified as fields, and good fields, medium fields, and low-grade fields must also be clearly classified and must not be confused.

In addition, the new regulations have more detailed punishments for clansmen, officials, and soldiers and civilians who do not abide by the Qingzhang Regulations, including encouraging the common people to supervise and expose., Demoted officials, and in severe cases, they will be imprisoned, exiled, and executed.

The father-in-law also wrote a letter to Hua Yang, telling her that after clearing her mother-in-law and her younger brother, they are very supportive. When this regulation is officially implemented next year, her younger brother will send four Jinyiwei to each provincial capital and two Jinyiwei to each county.After Jin Yiwei arrived in the local area, he would ask all counties to mobilize local students to study the "Regulations on Qingzhang" and explain it to the people in counties and villages, so as to prevent the people from misunderstanding the new policy and changing people's hearts.

Jin Yiwei is dispatched, and the local officials who have been honed by the law for three years, who dare to continue to fish the common people?

Hua Yang believes that Qingzhang in this life will only be more effective than in the previous life. As long as He Qingxian stays in the Inner Pavilion, the "one whip" in the next year will also be more beneficial to the country and the people.

When the people will no longer become the sufferers of the New Deal, the fifth crime of the father-in-law of the previous life, "increasing taxes and harming the people", will become nonsense.

Hua Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Of the seven crimes of father-in-law, the fifth one is the most difficult to resolve, because it involves the implementation of the two new policies, she alone is no match for thousands of magistrates.

Fortunately, her father-in-law's temperament has changed slightly under her subtle influence. Father-in-law was willing to let He Qingxian come to Beijing, and the New Deal became more and more perfect.

Hua Yang especially liked this version of the new regulations. When Chen Jingzong came back, she was still savoring it over and over again.

Chen Jingzong took off his boots, sat next to her, recognized his old man's handwriting at a glance, and then, under Hua Yang's encouragement, read it carefully from beginning to end.

Hua Yang asked: "How is it?"

Chen Jingzong saw pride on her face, as if the old man was her own father, she ran to show off to him triumphantly.

Chen Jingzong refused to praise the old man: "The late emperor asked him to be Chief-of-Staff. If he doesn't make some achievements, wouldn't he be a vegetarian?"

Hua Yang: "There are too many Chief-of-Staff, few dare to openly offend the clan and officials of the world."

Chen Jingzong: "You are also a clan, do you own a lot of land?"

Hua Yang: "I was rewarded by my father, and I didn't covet another acre."

Chen Jingzong: "But 20-30% of the country's land tax will be used to support your big family and clan. According to the reforms of the two old men, sooner or later this knife will really fall on the clan. Will you hate it at that time?"them?"

Hua Yang: "If you fall, you will fall. If the people can't survive, what's the point of me wearing gold and silver? If the people can live comfortably, then the clan's life will never be bad."

Chen Jingzong touched her face: "You really are a fairy descending to earth."

This time, although he smiled, there was no sarcasm or ridicule in his eyes.

Hua Yang looked at him for a moment, then slapped his hand away, and then handed him these regulations and the letter from his father-in-law: "Take them and burn them."

It is against the rules for the dignified Chief Assistant to copy the unpublished imperial decree to the eldest princess in advance, even if the father-in-law didn't tell her to burn it, Hua Yang himself knew the seriousness.

Chen Jingzong brought over a copper lamp, took off the lampshade, and put papers into it one by one.

Sitting beside him, Hua Yang watched those papers turn to ashes little by little in the golden red flames.

The fire light was warm, and it also dispelled the haze in her heart.

Lying on the bed after dinner, Hua Yang casually said: "The twelfth lunar month is coming soon, what are your plans for this year's annual leave?"

Chen Jingzong hugged her: "It's nothing, I just want to be with you every day."

It is said in the book that couples love each other with "sticky" together, but he prefers to say "connected".

Hua Yang glared at him.

Chen Jingzong was dissatisfied: "In spring, summer and autumn, I can accompany you out of the city to enjoy the scenery. Winter is so cold, where else can I go if I don't stay at home?"

For young couples, if they just stay at home, isn't the greatest joy of "connecting together"?

Hua Yang asked him, "Have you heard of Tangquan?"

Chen Jingzong's heart moved, and he said: "I haven't heard of it, I only heard of Mantis Boxing."

Hua Yang: ...

She squinted at him, and explained to him, the son-in-law who had never enjoyed the treatment of an old son in a serious court: "Tangquan is a kind of warm spring water that gushes out of the ground, which is about the same temperature as when we take a bath. Capital City is 80 meters north.There is such a mountain range that produces soup springs in Duoli, named Tangshan."

Chen Jingzong: "Then let's go to Tangshan this year."

Hua Yang: "It's a beautiful idea. Such a good place has long been enclosed by the royal family and built into a palace. Unless the mother and younger brother go, we can follow, otherwise we won't be able to enter."

Chen Jingzong: "Since we can't go, what do you say to me?"

Hua Yang: "Besides the palace, there are still some scattered hot spring places, but they have been occupied by people to build other courtyards. I have only been out of the palace for a few years, and I haven't met anyone who wants to sell the other courtyards there."

Chen Jingzong: "You have twists and turns, just tell me whether you can go or not."

Hua Yang smiled and said: "My aunt bought a different hospital a few years ago. If she doesn't go this year, we can borrow it for a while."

Chen Jingzong: "Understood, what my aunt likes, tomorrow I will send someone to look for gifts to honor her old man."

Hua Yang: "You'll be filial to me, I'll talk to my aunt."

Chen Jingzong flattened her immediately.

Hua Yang: ...

After he had kissed enough and changed places, Hua Yang said angrily, "What I want is your gift, not this kind!"

Chen Jingzong: "I am the best gift. Aunt and her old people are not blessed to accept it. Honoring you just comes in handy."

Hua Yang is not rare, so he pushes him.

Chen Jingzong clasped her wrist twice, and the domineering but powerless long princess could only accept his filial piety with an angry face and half push and half push.
