I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

From the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the customs were extremely open and most families were headed by women.

Therefore, there are quite a few women involved in foreign affairs, and women in the society are just as capable as men, and there are more women who come forward to help their men find careers and socialize with others.

Mrs. Yao also came to socialize on behalf of her man.

Pei Xuan's eyes changed slightly, but his smile was very kind: "Oh? I wonder what my cousin aunt wants to see me about?"

Madam Yao sighed and said, "Alas, this is a long story. Niece, you don't know how difficult it is to do something practical in such a huge Youzhou!"

Mrs. Yao sighed and made a speech, the general meaning of which was that life in Youzhou was difficult, the government in Youzhou was in trouble, the expenses were high, and some daily transgressions were inevitable.

To sum up in one sentence, please Pei Xuan, please show some mercy to them because they are old friends. Anyway, Xuan Zun doesn't care about such a small matter.

Pei Xuan: “…………”

Is this a small matter? As a government official, taking the lead in enclosing land is already a violation of the law.

After saying that, Mrs. Yao left some small gifts and left.

Pei Xuan ignored her and continued to instruct the clerks of the Youzhou government to take measurements.

The clerks were all a little listless, so Pei Xuan frowned and said, "Gentlemen, can you please move faster? If this continues, we won't be able to calculate the size of this field by nightfall."

The clerks lazily pulled out the rope stakes and said slowly, "Yes, Madam Pei."

Pei Xuan was slightly stunned. They...

At this time, a student named Song Zhiwen came over among the female and male students in charge of calculations.

Song Zhiwen was a famous poet in the middle Tang Dynasty. When Li Zhao was recruiting talents from all over the world, he was noticed by Li Zhao for his poetry and prose and entered the Xinhua Hall.

Seeing this, Song Zhiwen whispered to Pei Xuan, "Madam Pei, it seems that your proposal to survey the land has been resented by others."

Pei Xuan sighed: "That's right, the output of the public fields is all supplied to the government, and everyone has a share. Now I want to cut their subsidies, it would be strange if they don't hate me."

If her father had not been a great general in charge of the imperial palace guards and a close minister to the two emperors, and she herself had not brought so many guards with her, I'm afraid these petty officials would have put her in a sack long ago.

Song Zhiwen took the opportunity to make a suggestion: "It won't work if we rely on them. Madam, why don't you go and ask to see Xuanzun and let the people from Taiwei Changzhu Mansion do it."

Pei Xuan nodded: "Okay."

Song Zhiwen knew that Pei Xuan and the Crown Prince were in love with each other, and he came here just to show off in front of the future Crown Princess.

Now that his goal had been achieved, he smiled, turned around and left.

Pei Xuan took a look at the small gifts sent by Madam Yao, which were jewelry, makeup powder and other things, and were quite valuable.

But she still asked the servants around her to return the things: "Send the things back to Madam Yao's house, and tell them that I am with Xuanzun and that I am tired from the journey and it is not appropriate for me to carry these things. Please keep them for me for a while."

After keeping it for a while, Pei Xuan would not take the things away, which was a disguised rejection of Madam Yao.

He Xin came forward and whispered to her, "Your family and the Yao family in Henan are old friends. Why bother to offend Madam Yao? Anyway, Xuanzun..."

Pei Xuan quickly covered his friend's mouth: "Shh, keep your voice down, Xuan Zun knows everything."

He Xin shut up, Pei Xuan looked at her and said, "Xin, to be honest, I feel that Xuanzun has a profound meaning in asking us to survey the land."

"We have to be careful. From now on, no matter who in Youzhou gives us gifts, we cannot accept them."

He Xin thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Qingluan also asked Li Zhao the same question.

On a big tree beside the field of Youzhou government office, Qingluan was hiding on the branch. Looking at the procrastination of the Youzhou officials, it was really getting angry.

"How can these people be so slow? Even a turtle pulling the rope would be faster than them! They did it on purpose!"

Qingluan was confused: "Zhao Zhao, why don't you let me come? I can fly around and measure the area of ​​any land in minutes."

Li Zhao, who lived far away in the government office in Youzhou, was lying on a large couch, playing with a glass teacup.

She smiled calmly and said, "Qingluan, it's not the time for you to take action yet."

There was a cold light in her eyes: "Watch carefully, the aristocratic landlords will use thousands of tricks to resist the land survey."

"By the way, it's time to screen your friends."

Over the next few days, Qingluan watched carefully the various tactics used by Youzhou to resist the land survey.

On the first day, the Youzhou government first encouraged the petty officials to be passive and lazy.

The clerk acted pitifully in front of Pei Xuan: "Oh my, Madam Pei, I've been walking for so long, my legs are so sore, let's take a break."

Pei Xuan smiled kindly and responded calmly: "Then this young master does not need to come. I will report to Xuanzun and ask him to go home and rest for a while. How do you think?"

The clerk immediately felt no more back pain and leg pain, and could climb to the fifth floor in one breath: "...Oh, my leg is suddenly healed again."

But when it comes to doing things, take your time.

Pei Xuan did not bother to argue with them, and turned around to call the female and male clerks from the Taiwei Changzhu Mansion: "Thank you ladies and gentlemen for coming to help our colleagues in Youzhou."

The female and male officials of the Taiwei Changzhu Mansion said: "Yes!"

The petty officials of Taiwei Changzhu Mansion did not eat from the same pot as the Youzhou government. In order to please Xuanzun, they worked very hard and the land survey went smoothly.

Upon hearing the news, the Southern Governor was so anxious that his mouth was foaming, and he was like an ant on hot pot in his mansion.

"What should I do? If she is asked to measure the government land, my career as an official will be over!"

Madam Yao's face was not looking good either: "Pei Xuan, this girl, just to please Xuan Zun, actually disregarded our friendship. Forget it, my dear, we can't count on her."

"Why not..." Madam Yao whispered something to the Southern Governor.

After hearing this, the Southern Governor's eyes lit up, and he held Madam Yao's hand, with a face full of affection: "Madam, you are still wise."

Madam Yao pretended to be shy and opened his hand: "There is no time to lose, why don't you go and discuss this with the Chief Secretary?"

The Southern Governor immediately called over the Chief Clerk An, and the two of them whispered for a while before going on to make their own arrangements without further ado.

On the third day, Pei Xuan found that more people came to persuade her, and they were all young ladies.

A young lady from a certain noble family in Youzhou said: "Madam Pei, you and the Governor of the South are relatives by marriage, why do you have to force him so hard? Are you trying to ruin the relationship between our noble families?"

Pei Xuan's eyes turned slightly cold. Madam Yao, the Southern Governor, has he mobilized all the noble families in Youzhou to put pressure on her?

Those who came were all young ladies, and Pei Xuan couldn't find any fault with the aristocratic families.

If they were to be accused of disrupting Xuan Zun's orders, the noble family could simply shirk responsibility by saying that it was just their young lady's personal opinion and had nothing to do with them.

Facing her gaze, the ladies from the aristocratic families were not afraid at all. They came here to find Pei Xuan on the orders of their family.

There is no way. The aristocratic families have always colluded with the government. Today Pei Xuan was able to survey the public lands of Youzhou. Will he come to cut the flesh of the aristocratic families tomorrow?

Their interests were at stake, so they had to make this trip.

Pei Xuan smiled and said, "Ladies, Xuanzun is also the inspector and censor. It is her duty to investigate the government's malpractices. It has nothing to do with you. Ladies, please go back."

The young ladies looked at each other, and finally left, conveying Pei Xuan's words to the family heads.

After a while of grumbling within the aristocratic family, something new happened.
