I have a backstage in Datang

At this time, the sky was already bright, and suddenly there was an inquiry from the postman outside, and he said respectfully: "Marshal, it's almost time, the officials in the county government, the village chiefs of each village and village, and the village chiefs, the township chiefs, As well as the old man, the blessed old lady, everyone is waiting by the field, just waiting for you to preside over the opening ceremony."

Gu Tianya sighed and stood up. First, he took a look at his attire. The long skirt was dragged on the ground. There must be a feather crown on his head. He looked like a savage fool.

He walked into the water basin and looked down again, and found that his face was pale like a ghost, especially the two eyebrows, which were painted by Tan Xiao to look like a ghost. With this outfit, if he went out in the middle of the night, I'm afraid Lian Yuchi Jingde The two of them, Qin Qiong and Qin Qiong, couldn't help it either.

A ghost king who is alive and well, it is estimated that the gods are not opponents.

He turned his head to look at Tan Xiao, sighed helplessly again, and said annoyedly: "I really don't understand, this ghost can be Shennong?"

"Why is it not Shennong? This is the qualification of a great sage."

"Wouldn't Shen Nong be beaten to death by the ancients when he went out in this suit?"

"Oh, master, can you stop talking? People in ancient times couldn't even eat enough to eat. How could they have so many rules and regulations? These are all ways that later generations have figured out. Don't you know that your knowledge is as deep as the ocean? "

"It's just because I know that, that's why I think it's abominable."

"Damn it, you have to survive today. This is what the people are looking forward to. If there is no Daxian dancing and begging to go to the warehouse, the people will think it is an unlucky omen..."

"Okay, I'm going to dance!"

……

The sky is big and the earth is big, not as important as the people eating.

If you tune in to the master, you can dance to the master.

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, his face was smeared with powder, so no one could see his blushing. Gu Tianya left the station all the way, and rushed to the field he had already chosen.

This piece of land is county land. To put it bluntly, it is a place dedicated to etiquette. Since ancient times, there have been county land in counties, and state land in prefectures.

Even if it rises to the height of the court hall, there is still a three-thirds and three-mile country field, which is the place where the emperor is responsible for dancing the great god, and no one can escape this trick every year when the summer grain is harvested.

The county fields in Wuyang County are also three miles and three miles, and the wheat that is most loved by the northerners is planted. At this time, there are already crowds of people around the fields, and countless people are waiting breathlessly.

An old farmer by the field was kneeling there with his hands on his chest. He is a farmer of this county field and has been responsible for planting this ceremonial field.

When Gu Tianya and Tan Xiao arrived, Tian Nong suddenly threw five bodies into the ground and chanted loudly: "Nong, please open the sickle. Nong, please bless you."

The farmer he mentioned does not mean that Gu Tianya is a farmer, but Shennong, and Gu Tianya now represents Shennong.

Gu Tianya took a sickle tied with a red string, walked down the field ridge under the eyes of everyone, and then bent down to cut off a wheat ear.

Just at this time, there was a strong wind, and the wheat in the field made waves, the golden color seemed to dazzle the human eye, Gu Tianya raised his sickle and ears of wheat, looked up to the sky and shouted loudly: "Feng!"

"rich!"

"rich!"

"rich!"

Countless people yelled together, and the sound waves were like overwhelming mountains and seas.

It was only early in the morning, but as soon as the sun came out, the heat wave swept over, and the temperature rose rapidly, making people feel hot all over. Gu Tianya was wearing clothes weighing dozens of kilograms, and he felt that his chest was suffocating, but when he saw countless people With the longing in his eyes, he suddenly felt that he could bear no matter how unbearable the heat was.

He was originally a farm boy.

The dance of Shennong was danced by him, with a sickle in his hand, like a sacrificial vessel for begging to go to warehouse, he waved it wildly, and he shouted blessings loudly, suddenly Tan Xiao jumped out of the stage, dancing with Gu Tianya, she was like It is a butterfly, dancing gracefully and ethereally.

"rich!"

"rich!"

"rich!"

The common people kept shouting, and everyone had a smile on their faces, while the refugees who escaped from famine were looking at these common people with envy.

The refugees have no land, and they cannot enjoy the joy of harvesting.

The sickle-opening ceremony lasted for half an hour, and Gu Tianya's jumping master almost collapsed.Finally, it's time to harvest.

But seeing thousands of women and children rushing into the fields, waving sickles vigorously against the scorching sun, it seemed that dozens of acres of land were emptied for harvesting wheat in the blink of an eye.

Gu Tianya was drenched and fell to the edge of the field. Just as he was gasping for breath, he suddenly heard a movement behind him.

Someone spoke cautiously, with a flattering tone, and said, "This year, Wuyang County will hold a scythe opening ceremony with Mr. Gu, and the county's 14 mu of land will surely be abundant..."

Gu Tianya glanced back and found that the county magistrate and the county magistrate were standing with their hands down. He waved to them and signaled the two officials to sit down and talk.

The two officials were a little overjoyed, and carefully put their buttocks on the ridge of the field, looking at them cautiously, as if they were facing the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

Gu Tianya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but had no choice but to wave his hand again, saying: "Sit closer, let's talk about something, you are so far away from me, are you afraid that I will kill you?"

The county magistrate and the county magistrate smiled coyly, and said in a low voice: "You don't know how to kill people, but that female disciple of yours is cruel. If we are a little rude, I'm afraid we won't survive tonight."

Gu Tianya chuckled, waved his hands and said: "There will be no Tan family in the future. She plans to return [-]% of the family property. Once she does so, the Tan family will definitely separate from her. At that time, she has no power to threaten the county government." official."

Unexpectedly, the two officials shook their heads again and again, and said solemnly: "Even if she is alone, no one in Wuyang County dares to underestimate her."

Gu Tianya was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Is my apprentice so majestic?"

"It's not prestige, it's prestige, or in other words, it's killing fame."

"Okay, let's not discuss this. Tell me, what do you two want me for..."

"Well, make sure you don't get angry first, otherwise your apprentice may see you angry, and maybe he will tease us secretly."

"Don't worry, she's very obedient."

Chapter 143 [See Carrot Engraved Chapter]...2 more

The county magistrate and the county magistrate looked at each other, and after a long time, they said cautiously: "After the harvest of summer grain, it is reasonable to collect taxes. The court has an assessment for us, so I came here to ask you for permission."

Gu Tianya nodded, and said in a cautious tone: "Since ancient times, as long as there is a country, the people must have taxes. Such things as taxation will not be exempted because of disasters. Unless the emperor personally decrees, otherwise the taxes that should be levied must be paid. It will be collected. If there is a famine, you can provide relief, but the policy of taxation cannot be changed by force, because it is a rule, and breaking the rules will cause great harm.”

The two officials looked pleasantly surprised, and asked quickly: "Then do you agree to taxation?"

Gu Tianya nodded again, but he did not directly agree. Instead, he continued the topic just now and said: "Tax collection is a law, and disaster relief is a national policy. The law cannot be changed, and the national policy must also be guaranteed to be carried out smoothly. Taxes must be levied, even if it is to provide relief to the people immediately after the levying, but the cutscenes that must be passed must be gone, and Hebei Road must never do that kind of thing like a country within a country..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the two of them, and said with deep meaning: "We are Hebei Road of Datang, so naturally we must abide by the laws of Datang, don't you think?"

The two officials nodded repeatedly, and said to each other: "Master Gu's words are profound, and he can confuse us with a single word. I will do as you said, and return the tax to the people after the tax is collected."

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya shook his head and reminded: "The local people in Wuyang County have not been affected by disasters, so there is no reason to return the tax and food collected. The people who really need food are those refugees who escaped from the famine."

The county magistrate was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously said: "They are not victims of the disaster in Wuyang County. It is said that the court should allocate food relief. If we provide relief, I am afraid that they will be held accountable by the superior..."

"Yes, yes!" The county magistrate couldn't help but put forward his opinion carefully: "And the summer grain in our Wuyang County should belong to the people of Wuyang County. If it is given to the refugees, will it cause... "

"They will no longer be refugees in the future! They will all be citizens of Wuyang County in the future."

Gu Tianya stood up suddenly, and looked at the refugees around the field ridge with his hands behind his back. Those refugees dragged their families and waited by the field under the scorching sun. Their faces were full of longing, and their eyes were full of envy.

It is a desire to participate in labor, and it is a kind of envy to harvest summer grain.

Since ancient times, people have not been afraid of being tired.

They are eager to work and enjoy the joy of harvest.

Because, that means being able to eat enough.

Gu Tianya let out a breath slowly, and suddenly raised his hands to form an arch, as if he wanted to hold countless people in his arms, and said loudly: "From today onwards, these refugees are all from Wuyang County, since they have become Wuyang County people, then they are eligible to participate in the summer harvest..."

The two officials were shocked at first, then they became dumbfounded and blurted out: "There are tens of thousands of these refugees, and there are not so many lands in Wuyang County."

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, and said lightly: "My apprentice will return [-] mu of land."

"That's not enough. The 4000 mu of land can only feed [-] people at most. The gap is too big to satisfy."

"Hehe, the Tan family still has [-] mu of land left..."

hiss!

The two officials gasped.

The county magistrate carefully looked around and asked in a low voice: "You mean to talk to the Tan family? That's your disciple's mother clan."

Gu Tianya's face was calm, and he said lightly: "In my eyes, I only see tens of thousands of refugees who need to live, and the entire Tan family has a total of less than [-] people. They have [-] people and share [-] mu of land equally, which is too fat. Yes, it's too wasteful."

"This this……"

"Don't worry, I will make up for it."

……

At this time, the county magistrate suddenly cupped his hands, and said in a low voice: "Even if the entire Tan family is emptied, only 300 mu of land can be obtained in total, because the Tan family also needs to live, and [-] people must be left for them. One thousand mu of land, so one hundred mu per capita, is the bottom line of the land granted by the Tang Dynasty."

Gu Tianya nodded and said, "This matter is reasonable."

The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Even if you get 1 mu of land, it is still far from enough. Just the more than [-] refugees right now, these lands are not enough to distribute, but you should know , and refugees are coming in continuously. So..."

"So we have to find a way!"

Gu Tianya obviously had a plan in mind, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the south, and said with a smile: "There are a group of people over there who owe me a favor. After I came to Wuyang, I cried twice in a row. It's not that I let them lead the army You can fool me with a stick. They have to give me land to do something, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and denying people..."

The two officials were startled, and subconsciously said: "You are trying to grab the land from the Tiance Mansion."

Gu Tianya heheed twice, and said lightly: "The south of Wuyang County is bordered by Henan Road, and at the same time, it is bordered by Hedong Road in the west. I have sent people to investigate many times on horseback, and found that there are barren hills in the range of about ten miles. Because the terrain belongs to the three-way zone, no one bared their teeth when I took it over."

As he spoke, he looked at the two officials and asked with a smile, "How many acres of land can be reclaimed in a barren hill ten miles wide?"

The county magistrate is a person proficient in government affairs. After a little thought, he immediately replied, "There must be at least 30 mu, but barren hills and water shortages can only cultivate bad fields. Even dry land is not counted, it can only be counted as the most Poor bad field”

"Bad fields are also fields!"

Gu Tianya's eyes were burning, and he said in a deep voice: "Although the yield of bad land is too poor, people can still live if they grow food. You only need to increase the number of acres when granting fields, and give three times as much bad land as compensation. Three inferior fields Yu Yiliang, the harvest is enough to eat."

The two officials became excited, but still worried in their hearts, they couldn't help but asked, "Will the Tiance Mansion be furious by occupying the land of Henan Road in such a silent manner?"

Gu Tianya looked far to the south, and said word by word: "I'll go get it myself, they've already let me down."

These words were very arrogant, and the two officials obviously clicked their tongues.

But Gu Tianya no longer continued this matter, instead he suddenly smiled at the two of them, and said jokingly: "Congratulations, both of you, you will be promoted soon."

The two officials were startled for a moment, then each smiled wryly, and cupped their hands in the same way: "I hope you can hold on, don't sell us out. We once submitted papers to the aristocratic family, and we became officials only after being recommended, but unfortunately the aristocratic family suddenly withdrew Hebei Road, we belong to the small officials who have been abandoned, and now we are helpless and full of panic."

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, and said with deep meaning: "Then follow me, you should know that my wife is Princess Pingyang."

The two officials looked at each other, and they both saw the determination in each other's eyes. They suddenly nodded together and said: "Hebei Road is the fief of the princess. Strictly speaking, we are indeed the servants of the princess. Therefore, we are not betraying the court... "

Gu Tianya laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to pat the shoulders of the two, and said in a warm voice: "Congratulations, both of you, you have been promoted in place."

He just said that once.

However, this second time is not casual talk.

He suddenly reached into his arms, and took out two blank official announcements.

He directly stuffed the two notices into the hands of the two officials, and said with a smile: "Take it home and fill it out yourself..."

my God!

The two officials stood there dumbfounded.

Since ancient times, unless it is a troubled time, the promotion of officials is extremely strict. Have you ever seen such a situation where you fill in the official position yourself?

Even in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were almost no such things.

But now, each of them got an official notice.

You can fill in the blanks at will.

The two officials stared blankly at the official notice, and found that a big seal had been stamped on it. The pupils of the two shrank sharply, and subconsciously raised their heads to look at Gu Tianya, and said in shock, "Is this a fake seal?"

Gu Tianya smiled lightly, and said indifferently, "I'm good at carving carrots."

The two officials were trembling with fright at once, and they said in fear: "Privately engraving the seal of the official department and affixing the seal to seal the official position is a serious crime of beheading. How can the court be willing to stop?"

Gu Tianya looked towards the west with his hands behind his back, as if he wanted to look at Chang'an who was far away in the pass, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, my wife said, she will write to my father-in-law, and when the time comes, my father-in-law will support me. Which big official in the Tang Dynasty dares to come to question the crime..."

"Your father-in-law supports it?"

The two officials were startled for a moment, but suddenly realized who Gu Tianya's father-in-law was. They immediately burst into smiles, and said overjoyedly, "Since you have His Majesty's backing, carved carrots can also work."

Hastily and carefully put away the official notice.

Gu Tianya suddenly raised his feet and walked, as if he was going to investigate the harvesting situation of the people. The two officials thought about it, but they didn't dare to follow his footsteps.
