I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system
Chapter 143: Disintegration, Government Resistance
Pei Xuan's action has already cut himself off from the aristocratic family.
The noble family no longer placed their hopes on Pei Xuan, but turned to the classmate who measured the land with her.
The sons of noble families enthusiastically invited some male students from Xinhuaguan to go to Pingkangfang in Youzhou and spend a night as men.
At the same time, servants from the major families, under the pretext of admiring the talent of the female students, came to seek out several female students from both noble and humble families in exchange for their poems and prose.
Pei Xuan was busy reorganizing the fish scale book, measuring the land, recording the topography of the rivers, and whether the land was fertile or not.
He also did not forget to command his troops and servants of Taiwei Changzhu Mansion to help the people clear stones and other debris in the fields, build good relationships with the people, and teach them methods of fertilizing the fields such as composting and burning manure.
Such a beautiful girl in brocade clothes was sitting in the fields, telling the common people how to use manure to fertilize the fields. The people were deeply moved.
"Mrs. Pei Xuan is such a good person. She is a lady from a rich family, but she is not spoiled at all. She even taught us how to farm."
Pei Xuan smiled and shook his head after hearing this, then he bowed his hands and said to Dong: "This is all the will of Yudou Xuanzun and the two saints, I am just following their orders."
Everyone hurriedly followed her and bowed towards the east. Pei Xuan continued to talk with them for a while and then went to measure the land.
On the sixth day, Pei Xuan discovered that the people who came to talk to him were his classmates.
Male student A: "Ms. Pei, everyone has their own difficulties in life."
Male student B: "When we become officials in the future, we may have to face such difficulties. It is inevitable that we will do something beyond the limit. Why do we have to be so serious about it?"
Female student C: "Yes, less trouble is worse than more trouble, Madam Pei, I am just confused this time."
Faces flashed before Pei Xuan's eyes. They kept talking to him for more than half an hour, and Pei Xuan finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Enough!" Pei Xuan roared, scaring the students who came to plead for mercy so much that they trembled three times.
Pei Xuan glanced at their faces coldly, his expression almost freezing: "My fellow students, do you still remember who you are studying under?"
The students were silent, their eyes evasive, you looked at me, I looked at you, she looked at the sky, he looked at the ground.
Just don’t look at Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan reminded them in a cold voice: "You are all students of Xinhua Hall in Taiwei Changzhu Mansion, talented people personally recruited by Yudou Xuanzun."
"Now, you are speaking for others and disregarding Xuanzun's will?"
All the students suddenly felt embarrassed, some touched their noses, some pulled their handkerchiefs.
Pei Xuan gave them a little mercy, said nothing more, and turned to leave: "I will pretend that I didn't hear anything you said today. Let's go and continue to measure the land."
As the sun gradually rose higher, people from all over the country submitted their measurements to Pei Xuan for statistics.
Pei Xuan flipped through the booklet and his expression gradually became ugly.
She pointed to a number and said to the female student in charge of the calculation: "This is wrong, you calculated it wrong."
The female student said awkwardly: "Ah? Did you calculate it wrong? No way."
Pei Xuan handed her the booklet and said, "Please calculate it again."
The female student refused to do it. She glared at Pei Xuan unhappily and said with her hands on her hips, "Madam Pei, are you annoying? We have been in the sun for so long and are exhausted. It is inevitable that we will make mistakes."
"Since you are in charge of statistics, you can do the calculation yourself. We will go back first."
The female student turned and left. She was the daughter of an important official, so she was not afraid of Pei Xuan.
After the girl took the lead, other female and male students followed. In the end, there were only a few students left with Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan's chest rose and fell, and he was obviously very angry: "You guys!"
Song Zhiwen's handsome face was full of helplessness: "Madam Pei, let's do it ourselves."
Pei Xuan nodded helplessly, and they went to the area that these people were responsible for measuring to measure it again.
When passing the boundary marker, Pei Xuan had clearly walked past it, but then took a few steps back.
She stared at the monument and tilted her head suspiciously: "Strange? How did this monument return to its original position?"
"This area has already been measured. Didn't I redraw the boundaries of the land?"
Suddenly, a young lady with a headscarf and a short coat made of coarse cloth came into the field. She was no more than eleven or twelve years old. She was holding a wicker basket filled with big, golden pears.
The young lady respectfully handed over the basket: "Madam Pei, have a pear to quench your thirst. I picked them all from the trees at home, and they are all good."
Pei Xuan said "thank you" and asked the maid to pay for it and buy the basket as well, so that everyone could eat the pears to quench their thirst.
The young lady took a pear and gave it to Pei Xuan. She leaned in and whispered, "Madam Pei, my parents asked me to tell you that as soon as you left yesterday evening, several officials came and moved the boundary marker back."
Pei Xuan's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot in an instant. After a moment, she reluctantly said to the young lady who came to report the news: "I know, thank you very much."
The young lady giggled and said, "You're welcome. I'm leaving now."
She skipped home with a string of copper coins in her hand.
Pei Xuan didn't have time to eat the pear. She went to look at the booklet of the land that needed to be re-measured. She ran to the edge of the field and took a look. Her face became even more gloomy.
"Those fools!! How dare they be so perfunctory!"
The area of that large piece of land in the booklet is totally wrong. It all needs to be remeasured!
Qingluan, who was watching on the side for so long, was shocked.
"Oh my god, these people are so brave! Zhaozhao, I finally understand why it was so difficult to survey the land in ancient times."
It took less than half a month to farm more than 30 hectares of land, let alone hundreds of thousands of hectares of land.
Li Zhao communicated with her: "Yes, firstly, the statistical methods are backward, secondly, the statistical personnel are uncooperative, and thirdly, the vested interests are resisting stubbornly."
"Come back, Qingluan. Give me all the lists you wrote down."
