He transported Jiao Chen's nine boxes of dowry, and looked at the boxes of money and goods, Pei Min secretly asked Jiao Chen about the appearance fee!

Jiao Chen initially didn’t know what the appearance fee was, but after Pei Min explained it.

Jiao Chen said a number embarrassedly.

Pei Min was stunned for a while and had to sigh that his monthly salary was not as good as Jiao Chen's appearance fee: this top star in ancient times earned no less than that of the big stars in later generations.

Thinking of Jiao Chen's unrivaled piano skills, Pei Min took it for granted.

According to the agreement, the day after Pei Min got married, he invited four drunkards, He Zhizhang, Zhang Xu, Su Jin and Jiao Sui to drink.

Pei Min once again saw He Zhizhang's open-mindedness and indulgence, Zhang Xu's wildness and unrulyness, Su Jin's indulgence and Jiao Sui's drunken talk.

The four great alcoholics have their own strengths and different personalities, but they become friends because of wine and talk about wine to show their own style.

Pei Min was also infected by their style and became the fifth drunkard with them.

Unlike the four, Pei Min is handsome and free and easy. Even if she is drunk, she still maintains her true self, which is another taste.

Zhang Xu and Pei Min were closest and most passionate. They lived directly at Pei Min’s home and drank all the tribute wine that Pei Min specially prepared for him. They left a bunch of calligraphy and left, and continued to travel through the beautiful mountains and rivers, tempering his calligraphy with the magnificence of China's mountains and rivers. Pei Min had nothing but envy for a pure artist like Zhang Xu. He knew in his heart that it was precisely because of this pure that Zhang Xu became the saint of cursive script, the most outstanding existence in China's cursive script in the past 5,000 years.

This day's meeting!

Pei Min named Li Longji, commended his achievements, and added 100 fiefs.

It turns out that this year, Henan has gained more than tens of thousands of fertile land and has achieved a bumper harvest, and the amount of food it harvested is more than twice as much as in previous years.

The Yellow River has nurtured China's thousand-year-old culture. The fields on both sides of the Yellow River are no less fertile than those on the south of the Yangtze River. It is just that the Yellow River floods severely, the harvest on both sides has been greatly reduced, and in severe cases, there is even no harvest.

This year it is rainy and the water level of the Yellow River is surging. According to previous years, in such a rainy season, the middle and lower reaches will definitely flood. However, this year the Yellow River did not rage on both sides of the straits as expected. On the contrary, due to sufficient rain, the harvest in the middle and lower reaches has doubled.

There are many factors that lead to the pursuit, but the most convincing thing is the method of binding water and rushing sand proposed by Pei Min when taking the imperial examination.

Thanks to the approval of Tao Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, the water-branching and sand-flooding method was quickly implemented. As early as the Li Dan Dynasty, the court had already allocated labor service to start work.

Controlling water is like controlling fire. Two hundred thousand laborers were erected in Xingze, Yuanwu, Zhongmu and other counties in Henan Province.

Tao Yan monitored the silt situation of the Yellow River day and night until late summer and early autumn, and submitted a memorial to express Pei Min's achievements, saying, "When the water returns to the trough, the river body becomes deeper, the water does not fill the dam, and the embankment is not washed away. When the water flows through the sand, this is the advantage of the river."

However, when Pei Min made great contributions to defeating Tubo, Li Longji arrested the memorial.

It was not until the autumn harvest ended and the harvest on both sides of the Yellow River doubled, which confirmed Pei Min's achievements.

The ministers couldn't help but be envious when they saw Pei Min making new contributions.

Yao Chong looked at Pei Min but felt a headache. In his political group, he could not allow Pei Min to exist like this. But he could not do anything to him for a while: thinking about Pei Min driving Liu Fan out of Chang'an, he couldn't help but feel secretly palpitations in his heart.

Liu Fan was one of his confidants, but he easily drove Pei Min out of the capital.

Some people think that Pei Min relies on the emperor's favor and turns small things into big things, but he knows that Pei Min is shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger.

According to the original agreement, Pei Min should have asked himself to go out to the court and defend the border. But later he passed on a message to him that Li Longji was reluctant to let go.

Yao Chongcai didn't care whether this was true or false. Since Pei Min did not keep his promise, the next target was Pei Min after the minister Zhang Shuo, Wei Zhigu, Liu Youqiu, and Zhong Shaojing.

He arranged for the Secretariat's wife Zhao Hui to impeach Pei Min secretly and had a close relationship with the people in the martial arts world.

But he didn't expect that Li Longji not only did not believe Zhao Hui's words, but instead demoted Zhao Hui to the chief clerk of the Secretariat. What he unexpectedly expected was that his right arm Liu Fan actually created the capital for Pei Min and served as an official in another place.

This was before and after, only more than a month.

Yao Chongcai didn't believe it was a coincidence. It must be that his actions made Pei Min know, so he launched a counterattack.

He just tentatively tried to see the depth, but suffered a broken arm injury.

Yao Chong was afraid of the Censorate in Pei Min's hands, and was even more troubled by Pei Min's tit-for-tat methods. Of course, the one who made him most tickled was Li Longji. The arrogant emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not stand on his side like Zhang Shuo, Wei Zhigu, Liu Youqiu, and Zhong Shaojing, but supported Pei Min more.

The Censorate has a way to suppress it, and Pei Min can also deal with it, but how does Li Longji deal with it?

Yao Chong could not have thought that he would not be able to do anything to a young man after his ups and downs forty years in politics.

Just thinking about it, Yao Chong felt depressed.

Li Longji announced his resignation, and all the officials retreated one after another. Pei Min was about to leave the palace for lunch, so Gao Lishi called to stay.

"Pei Zhongcheng, Your Majesty, please have a meal together!"

Before Pei Min could walk to Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi called Yao Chong again.

Pei Min and Yao Chong looked at each other and followed Gao Lishi together.

The two of them were speechless all the way, and the atmosphere was awkward.

After arriving at the Wude Hall, Li Longji had already changed into a loose dragon robe and waited in the hall.

"Please sit down, two dear friends!" Li Longji had already prepared two tables of wine and food.

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Pei Min and Yao Chong responded in unison.

One left and one right, standing opposite each other.

In ancient times, the left was superior to the right, and Yao Chong was naturally in the left seat, while Pei Min sat down in the right seat.

"Pei Qing!" Li Longji did not call Pei Min, but called him with his title: "You can make this contribution this time, Yao Xiang would have put a lot of effort into it. If he had not fully supported and dispatched labor, and specially ordered local officials to cooperate, he would not have been able to stand up for a while when he could rush to the sand dam. He should be greeted with a cup..."

Pei Min smiled and raised her glass and said, "Thank you Yao for help!"

Yao Chong raised his glass and returned the gift.

Li Longji continued: "Yao Xiang should also respect Pei Qing. The method of rinsing water and sand effectively cleans up the mud and sand in the area, avoiding the floods of the Yellow River, causing the harvest in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River to double, enough to supply the needs of Guanzhong. It eliminates the huge amount of water transport from Jiangnan to Guanzhong, and saves a lot of convenience for your work."

Pei Min and Yao Chong heard this, he didn't know what Li Longji wanted to invite them to have a meal this time: he didn't want to see the fight between the two of them. He was not only a good deal, but also a warning to them to stop at the right time.

Yao Chong raised his glass and said, "Pei Zhongcheng is young and heroic, and it is amazing to tie the water to wash the sand. I respect Zhongcheng..."

Pei Minye raised his glass to return the gift.

Li Longji said: "The two beloved ministers are my left and right arms, and neither is indispensable. When we work together to share my worries, we will summon you to discuss with you today. What do you think about the reform of the military system? Think carefully, and eat and talk while not at this time!" As he said that, he started eating first. Today's court meeting lasted for a long time. After lunch time, Li Jiasanlang's chest was hungry and pressed against his back.

Do not speak when eating or sleeping. It does not mean that you cannot speak when eating, but that you cannot speak when eating. It is an impolite bad habit.

In the Tang Dynasty, eating and discussing matters was a kind of atmosphere. Especially in the circle of prime ministers, when eating, they had to talk about national affairs, otherwise they would be laughed at. Lu Huaishen gathered together to eat together and discussed political affairs while eating. But when he ate, he didn't say a word, and got a "single name" of the prime minister, who laughed at him as prime minister, but only knew how to eat.

Yao Chong was obviously used to having food in his stomach, eating and drinking to solve the problem. While eating and thinking, he said for a long time: "This year, all the people in the Tang Dynasty have insufficient military resources. In some places, they cannot even get enough troops to join the army, and the situation becomes more serious. We must make up our minds and strictly control the problem of land annexation. Only in this way can the people be willing to become soldiers in the palace and reappear the heroic spirit of soldiers in the palace."

The above is a rotation system of the Tang Dynasty, which refers to the successive tasks of the states guarding the government soldiers in the capital and the various states. Under the system of government soldiers, the main tasks of the government soldiers in Zhechong Mansion are guards and conquests. However, the corruption of the government soldiers system made the people unwilling to participate in the government soldiers going to Zhechong Mansion to report that the government soldiers ran away in Zhechong Mansion was extremely serious, which led to the fact that there were no soldiers to be transferred when it was necessary to mobilize troops and soldiers to undertake garrison work, and no soldiers were available.

This is the reason why the Tang Dynasty's combat power is under this!

Pei Min said: "Yao Xiang's words are a mature plan for the country. The serious land annexation is one of the bad policies of all dynasties and must be dealt with more seriously. However, if you want to solve the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers, the people will regain confidence in the government soldiers, but I am not optimistic about this move. Indeed, the main reason for the corruption of the government soldiers is land annexation. As long as the land annexation is removed, the government military system can be restored. However, the removal of land annexation is not a matter of one day or one night, and it may not be eradicated in three or five years. We can wait, Tubo and the Turks will not give us this time. If we want to improve the military combat effectiveness of our Tang Dynasty in a short time, the recruitment system is the only way. Only by regularizing the soldiers can we improve our combat effectiveness in a short time. Without seeking to expand the territory, at least this will not happen."

When the Tubo invaded before, although the Tang Dynasty achieved the final victory and achieved the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, the powerlessness of the border army allowed Tubo to march straight into the realm of no one. Not to mention such shame, everyone knew it in their hearts.

When Yao Chong heard Pei Min say this, he sank in his heart: It’s not that he doesn’t know the beauty of the recruitment system, but he has been suppressing the recruitment system and preventing the recruitment system from being implemented because he is worried about Zhang Shuo.

Zhang said he was his mortal enemy and the main promoter of the recruitment system.

Once the recruitment system was implemented, Zhang said that he would be very likely to receive a special amnesty, recruit him back to Chang'an and make a comeback, and that situation was not what he wanted to see.

Li Longji said to Yao Chong: "Yao Xiang is responsible for the land annexation matter, and then Guo Xiang is responsible for the recruitment matter. Yao Xiang thinks it's good?"

When Yao Chong heard this, he was not Zhang Shuo, and he was very at ease in his heart and nodded: "I have no objection!"
