Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 45: Be an Ideal Small Landlord

Lishan Mountain belongs to the branch of Qinling Mountains. The mountain is winding, the trees are verdant, and it looks like a dark horse from a distance.Lishan is also known as "Xiu Ling" because of its beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery.

The humanistic history of Mount Li is also profound, and many histories and allusions have actually happened here.King You of Zhou once smiled for Bao Si, which led to "the beacon fire plays the princes, and the world is lost with a smile." King You of Zhou built the Li Palace here, which was changed to "Lishan Soup" during Qin Shi Huang's time. His Majesty is about to build a palace and name it "Tangquan Palace", and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty expanded it again and named it Huaqing Palace.

There was snow all over the road, and the road was not smooth. Fang Jun was impatient, so he rode his horse fast. A few housekeepers were afraid that he would be wrong, so they hurried to keep up.

Horses' hooves the size of a bowl pierced the ice and snow on the road, splashing a puff of snow and mist.

It's just that Fang Jun didn't have the slightest joy and comfort in galloping on a horse.

Passing through several villages along the way, all the houses were collapsed with snow covered waists, and the sound of crying could be heard in my ears. When I looked around, everything I saw was desolate, and there was no smoke from cooking.

Fang Jun's heart became heavy, and he realized that he was in the Tang Dynasty 500 years ago, not another era that seemed to have become extremely distant.In that era, no matter how poor and miserable people were, they would at least have a bite to eat, so as not to die of cold and hunger.

But here, even the most central area of ​​the entire empire will starve to death at any time due to natural disasters.

This is the "prosperous world of Zhenguan" which is strongly advocated in the history books of the Tang Dynasty!
Fang Jun reined in the reins of the horse, rode the horse slowly, looked at the silent village with a heavy heart, and occasionally showed a side of the yellow-faced and thin children...

"Looking around at Mount Li, the house was torched, where was the luxury at that time?
I saw grass Xiao Shu, water lingering.

Up to now, he has hated the Miyan Tree, the countries of Zhou, Qi, Qin, Han and Chu.

If you win, you will become dirt; if you lose, you will become dirt..."

Fang Jun murmured and recited this poem that he remembered in his previous life, which he didn't know who wrote it, filled with emotion.

What can he do in this era?
Fang Jun thought and thought, and found himself at a loss.

Social customs, political systems, low productivity, backward technology... When these reasons restrict the progress of society, how can it be that one person can make changes?

Fang Jun sighed softly and raised his head, Lishan had already appeared not far away.

The mountain is piled up with layers of ravines from bottom to top. The snow and the mountain are black and white, as if different lines cut each other alternately. The mountain has a rhythm because of the snow, and the black and white lines are active and passive. Snow, as if the light and shade are properly outlined.

The convex and concave places between the ravines refract the light to different degrees, especially like the highlights in the painting. This snow hangs on the mountain, sparse and sparse, forming a combination of the snow and the mountain. If the snow is thick, it will become a Like the Yuanchi wax statue in "Qinyuan Spring Snow", if it were thinner, it would fit the artistic conception of white dew and frost, but it would not feel like a painting. Xian Wanguqin" artistic conception.

It's just that it is accompanied by the desolation of the ten miles without cooking smoke at the foot of Mount Li, and it doesn't have the meaning of desolation and loneliness.

The Fangjia motorcade went up the Xixiu Ridge. The mountain road was actually very flat, but the snow was thick and it took a lot of effort.

The mountains are very quiet, there are almost no people, the wind is not strong, and the sky is not cold. The snow on Mount Li is patchwork, and the backbone plants on the hillside are holding the snow, creating a three-dimensional picture with the snow on the ground. Sometimes there is wind. After blowing, the snow flew again, and there was a small scene of snow flying under the sun.

Passing through a canyon with a lake in the valley.

The lake surface is not frozen because of the injection of living water, and there is no snow in the center. The lake surface is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the light in all directions. Beside the small road by the lake, a lotus tree is full of yellow flowers, and the flowers are overflowing.

It was a severe winter, the north wind last night and the plum blossoms were in full bloom.

In the distance, a farm was built on a soothing hillside.

********
At the beginning, Emperor Li Yuan won the throne of the world and became the emperor, and he gave all the ministers to the fertile lands around Chang'an City. Inside and out...

But if you don't reward it, you can't do it. People who leave their homes and businesses follow you to lick blood, and Nier usurps this country. What are you trying to do?Isn't it still a case of winning an official residence to seal a wife and a son, and a thousand hectares of wealth and fertile land?
No way, far away, better than nothing.

How could Fang Xuanling be called Consciousness High? Seeing that His Majesty Li Er was embarrassed, he offered to set aside a piece of land in Lishan as a reward to him.Lishan Mountain is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but it is definitely not a good place for farming. The ravines are crisscrossed with layers of rocks, and even the most barren land in Guanzhong is better than anywhere else.

With Fang Xuanling taking the initiative to show his style, although the others are full of unwillingness and embarrassed to make trouble again, the biggest problem has been solved, and His Majesty Li Er is so moved...

So, with a wave of his Majesty Li Er, he drew a circle on the east side of Lishan Mountain, and gave Fang Xuanling a full 2000 mu.

Why is it east and not west or north?Because there are mountains and rocks on the east and south sides, there is basically no arable land, while the north side is where the royal gardens of all dynasties and dynasties are located, with many hot springs and beautiful scenery.His Majesty Li Er also has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. When the government's finances improve, we will also build two gardens, and lead the beauty to take a vacation to escape the summer and come to a mixed bath or something...

Fang Jun pulled his horse and stood in front of Zhuangzi, looking around.

This is a valley, with undulating mountain beams on both sides, and a river in the middle, which originates from the depths of Lishan Mountain. The faint mist, rushing down, poured directly into the small lake just passed by.

The farmland has been covered with snow, but the farmhouses in twos and threes are sparsely built on the hillside, low and shabby and disorganized.

On the north slope, sitting on a five-entry house facing south, it is the house of the Fang family, and it is also a place for the Fang family to escape the heat in summer.

Fang Jun was paying attention, and the stewards of the farm behind him all walked up and said, "It's freezing cold in the mountains, Erlang should take a few steps and enter Zhuangzi Nuan to warm up."

Fang Quan was in his fifties, with a square face full of wrinkles like old tree bark, a strong body, thick hands and feet, more like an old farmer who worked all year round.But his eyes are clear and bright, showing a shrewdness that does not match his appearance.

Fang Jun was noncommittal and asked, "Uncle Lao Quan, how many people and how much land are there in our village? Can anyone starve this winter?"

Fang Quan was slightly surprised, didn't they all say that this Erlang from our family "has a honest temperament and doesn't think about economics"?Why do you ask this as soon as you come up, is it because you can't trust us?But he is an old man of the Fang family, and he is not afraid of this stick Erlang's thorns.

Then he said: "There are [-] people in the village, of which Ding Zhuang has more than [-], and has a total of more than [-] acres of land. Thanks to the blessing of the master's family, the tenants usually have very little food, and they have enough to eat and wear warmly. Even this year There is a heavy snowfall in Guanzhong, and there is not a single person who is cold and hungry in our village."

There is pride in the words.

It is no wonder that the peasants on this village are not members of the Fang family, but tenants who are attached to the Fang family.In the snow disaster in Guanzhong, the tenants of the noble houses in Chang'an City are all over Guanzhong, and only a benevolent family like the Fangjia can be kind and generous to the tenants, and the voice of praise spreads in Guanzhong. Is there any honor?
Fang Jun was thinking of another question.

"On average, each person has more than ten acres of land, but only people who are not cold and hungry?" he asked.

Is this requirement too low?

As far as he knows, the Fang family's rent has always been the least among the landlord's homes, and there are not many shops. This directly leads to the fact that although the Fang family is famous, their daily life is extremely simple, because they have no money...

Immediately afterwards, he realized that he had asked a stupid question.

　Today, I drove the car all day, did a day of errands, I was exhausted to death, and I had to insist on the reputation of two more... Let's not talk nonsense. It is said that the recommended ticket can relieve laziness and relieve backache. …
