Datang Institute of Technology

Xu Changsheng has been dozing off while walking recently because of the court affairs.

Once he actually fell asleep on Dabai's back, Dabai dragged him around Chang'an for a long time, and when he woke up, he didn't know where he was.

However, he is also quite familiar with some officials in the court now, and he would shamelessly call each other adults when they meet each other.

Of course, it was more to tease him, "Xuan Yilang, you said that you will build the road from Chang'an to Xujiacun, but when will the construction start?"

While asking, there was a joking smile on his face.

How much does it cost to build roads?Even if Xujia Village has made a lot of money, it is impossible to build such a long road. Xu Jiazi must be talking big. Let's see how he got off this time.

Recently, Xu Changsheng spent his time amidst such jokes.

Every time, Xu Changsheng showed an unfathomable expression and didn't answer. In fact, he was so angry that these people didn't support his great ideals. They laughed at him every day. Seeing that he will repair the road when the time comes How to slap these people in the face.

Therefore, he now has to check the account books every night to see if he has earned enough money to build roads, and he is vicious in his heart, waiting for him.

The little days went by like this day by day, and Xujia Village specially sent him a lot of eggs, all of which were eggs laid by the chickens they raised in the back mountain. Of course, they also sent big roosters, which were stewed in chicken soup for him.

The eggs in their Xujia Village are all eggs laid by pheasants, which are delicious.

The great grandfather originally asked him if these eggs were sold in the Xujia Supermarket. Xu Changsheng thought about it, shook his head, and let them eat in Xujia Village.

One is that the eggs laid by their running pheasants are definitely better than those laid by captive chickens, and the price is more expensive, but the people in Datang probably cannot tell the difference between them.

Therefore, if the price is too high, it will not be easy to sell, but if the price is low, Xu Changsheng is reluctant to sell it.

In addition, there are quite a few children in Xujia Village. It is good to keep eggs for them to nourish their bodies. Their living standards in Xujia Village have to be improved little by little.

After a few days, Xu Changsheng became excited.

why?

Because the Guozijian started school, and he didn't have to go to court so early in the morning, and the days of dozing off every day were over.

He ran to write a chapter of the memorial seriously, and he will explain the situation to His Majesty Li Er tomorrow, he will not go to court, whoever falls in love with him will go.

the next day.

Morning as usual.

Xu Changsheng held the memorial in his hand, and then kept pinching his face with his hands, sober up, and get down to business later.

The most discussed issue in the imperial court was the Turkic issue. Now their pork liver and medicine for altitude sickness had been shipped to the front line, but the journey was far away, and it took a long time for the battle report to come back. I don't know what the situation is.

Of course, Xu Changsheng just listened to it now, he really didn't know how to fight, so he didn't want to interrupt when he had nothing to do.

From time to time, he sneaks a bite of the bread hidden in his sleeve, and only he can hide and eat something secretly. The others are so pitiful, they will be hungry until noon.

At this time, the father-in-law above shouted in a sharp voice, "If there is something to do, go to court, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court."

Xu Changsheng was taken aback, is it already noon?

Looking outside, the sun was shining brightly.

All the issues that should be discussed have been discussed, and Baiguan is about to leave.

At this time, a childish voice said, "Mr. Xuan Yilang Xu Changsheng has a play."

Xu Changsheng hurried out, he didn't come here to make soy sauce today.

Just a little excited, a little flustered.

"brush."

When he raised the memorial in his hand, he swiped it, and a piece of bread fell out, rolled far on the ground, and rolled straight forward.

Xu Changsheng blinked his eyes once, and then kept blinking.

There was a moment of silence in the court, and a pair of eyes looked at the bread.

Xu Changsheng shivered, "Your Majesty, this bread is too presumptuous, I will put it away immediately, so as to punish you."

With a flick of his calf, he ran to pick up the bread with a flushed face.

What's up with this bread?He obviously hid it well.

Everyone: "..."

Xu Changsheng imitated the old man he had seen before, covering his face with his sleeve, ashamed to see others.

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth was also twitching, he was bitten on the bread just now, who gnawed it?When did you eat it?That's too much guesswork.

Standing in the middle, Xu Changsheng felt that the gazes he cast became very strange.

He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I didn't eat the bread. Really, you have to believe me, it's... a big tiger eats it. It gets up earlier than the chicken every day, but it's hard work. I didn't eat breakfast, so I will eat it for it." Bread is ready..."

He has to be cute, he is only four years old, although he is a bit shameless, his life is the most important thing.

But he was so nervous, look, once there is a small problem, you have to worry about whether his little head can be kept. This official is not big, but he should be worried.

Which of these court officials didn't know the hard work of going to court, and the few officials who were about to get angry were taken aback for a moment, then they remembered that Xu Jiazi was only four years old, and even they couldn't hold on sometimes, let alone a four-year-old child

He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word, no matter what the reason, because it was too harsh for a four-year-old child, it seemed too unreasonable.

Li Shimin's voice came from above, "What does Xuan Yilang want to play?"

Only then did Xu Changsheng heave a sigh of relief, this matter has been exposed.

He hurriedly raised the written memorial above his head, it was a bit ridiculous to pretend to be serious despite his small appearance.

A father-in-law took his memorial.

Only then did Xu Changsheng say, "I would like to report to Your Majesty that I will take a leave of absence. I may not be able to come to the court for a while to devote myself to the Tang Dynasty and die for Your Majesty."

Everyone: "..."

This sycophant can really boast, the key is not to blush and not to breathe.

If these words came from the mouth of an old minister, it would be interesting, but from the mouth of Xu Jiazi, it would sound weird no matter what.

And... Xu Jiazi only wanted to resign two days ago, and now he is taking leave?

Everyone's eyes gathered to see how much Xu Jiazi had done.

Li Shimin frowned, his forehead hurt so much, he asked for leave?He said, "Why is Xuan Yilang asking for leave?"

It means, without giving a reason, seeing that he doesn't clean up the people, he will do it for him every now and then, how much effort and effort he spent putting the Xu family into the court, and now he wants to run outside all day.

Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial College will start school soon, and Changsheng must go to school."

The reason is high-sounding, so there is no reason to object, right?No matter how powerful a genius is, he has to keep learning. If he is not allowed to learn, he will be ruined.

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, but he forgot that Xu Jiazi was still a student of the Imperial Academy.

Xu Changsheng added emphatically, "Your Majesty, I feel that Xuan Yilang's position is of great responsibility. After Changsheng went to study, some people will inevitably say that Changsheng occupies the position and does not do practical things. Or, look..."

Xuan Yilang has a heavy responsibility in this position?

It is an idle official title with no real job at all.

Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

Xu Changsheng continued, "Why don't Your Majesty choose another candidate? If Changsheng can't take up this official position because of his studies, he really feels ashamed. Changsheng won't want this month's salary."

Xu Changsheng thought to himself, this little corrupt official is not as interesting as he is in the East Palace as a secretary. When he is in the East Palace, the servants and guards see him and call him Mr. Xu, and he is very happy. What Xuan Yilang is this? , who loves Dangdang to go.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they could tell that Xu Jiazi was really trying to evade.

Li Shimin's face turned black, he finally arranged to come in, can he just leave?Even if it is a piece of wood in the hall, he has to stand for him.

But Xu Jiazi's attitude is not good, he has to let the prince beat him in private.

Now, Li Shimin said, "Since Xuan Yilang is going to study in the Imperial Academy..."

Xu Changsheng's face was overjoyed, it was done, even if he couldn't get rid of this official, he didn't have to get up every day to go to court.

Li Shimin's voice continued, "Xuan Yilang's position is indeed important. If that's the case, I'll go to the Guozijian Confucius to offer wine. Xu Jiazi will go to the Guozijian to study in the afternoon after finishing his morning court."

On Xu Changsheng's originally happy face, his mouth was so wide that he could stuff an egg into it.

Say... the agreed routine?Why not follow the routine?

Go to the morning court in the morning, go down to the Imperial College

In the past, when he went to court in the morning, at least he could roam around in the afternoon.

Now he is deprived of all his afternoon surfing time! ! !

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth raised upwards, "Xuan Yilang's position is so important, Xu Jiazi must not destroy the public for personal reasons, and continue to serve the court."

Xu Changsheng: "..."

Bah, Xuan Yilang is an idle official, what an important fart, His Majesty Li Er is so treacherous, to gag him with his words.

Xu Changsheng opened his mouth.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What else is there for Xu Jiazi? Just now Xu Jiazi said that he would die for my Tang Dynasty. How could I fail Xu Jiazi's heart to serve the country? Xu Jiazi is satisfied with my arrangement?"

Satisfied with the hammer, Xu Changsheng burst into tears. He finally knew that these officials and emperors are not cheap lamps.

Block him with all his words, how can he refute?

The little heads drooped down, dejected.

"Xuan Yilang, is there anything else you want to play?" Li Shimin said with a smile on his face. In this court hall, he can see everyone's expressions clearly, and he can guess what's on his mind. eight.

All the officials in the court also laughed, Xu Jiazi was too overconfident, and he was playing tricks in front of His Majesty. Last time he wanted to resign, but he didn't say it. It's so easy to fool.

It's strange to say that no one has asked about it for ten years. What people think about every day is to stand out and enter the court, and Xu Jiazi did it at a young age, but why he wants to resign so much? What is the reason?

If Xu Changsheng told them that he just couldn't get up in the morning, he would probably faint a lot of people.

Xu Changsheng drooped his head. Not only did the official not resign, he also...

Looking at the teasing eyes around him, Xu Changsheng puffed up his chest and let you all see the joke.

Xu Changsheng tidied up his clothes, he had to slap him in the face, his jokes were not so good, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I still have something to play."

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, what else did he come up with?It seems that the prince really needs to beat him a little more.

Xu Changsheng raised his small head, looked at the group of people who had just watched the joke, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, my Xujia Village is going to formally build the concrete road from Chang'an to Xujia Village. Please order the magistrate of Chang'an County and all officials to cooperate actively."

He has been trying to settle accounts for the past few days. Although the money Xujia Village earns is not enough to build the concrete road, the construction of the cement road does not require all the money to be invested at once.

He can invest part by part. He has calculated that their funds are enough to start the project.

For the money in the later period, it is also possible to build roads while earning money.

Xu Changsheng's voice silenced the entire Golden Palace.

Build a cement road from Chang'an to Xujiacun?

How much will it cost, Xu Jiazi actually said that their Xujia Village can already start construction, and also asked the Chang'an county magistrate and other officials to cooperate?

Building such a road, of course, does not benefit the Xu family's family, and the people along the way will benefit when entering and leaving Chang'an, so the imperial court is also responsible for helping to build it. Xu Jiazi's proposal is not inappropriate.

but……

Before His Majesty Li Er could speak, Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, came forward and said, "Xu Jiazi's words are serious? Xu Jiazi knows that because of the Turkic War, the Household Department can't allocate a penny. We all know the benefits of cement roads, but if Xu Jiazi wants the Ministry of Households to allocate money to build roads, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate at this time."

What he said was true, because most of the money was spent on the war with the Turks, the treasury was not rich, and the rest had to be spent on knife-points instead of road construction.

At the time of the Tang Dynasty, it was the Ministry of Households that was in charge of money and food.

Everyone came to their senses, "Don't talk big, son of the Xu family, do you know how much it will cost to build such a road, or a cement road?"

They have been joking about when Xu Jiazi will start building roads recently. In fact, they know that the cost of building roads is too high.

Unexpectedly, today, Xu Jiazi suddenly said that the road was going to be built?This is impossible, and the Ministry of Household Affairs has no money, so where can we get the money to build roads.

Xu Changsheng said respectfully, "My lords, when did Changsheng say that the Ministry of Households needs to allocate money for road construction?"

The more respectful he is, the more it hurts to slap these people in the face. Let you watch jokes, make you joke around every day, isn't it just building roads, he will repair them for you to see.

Xu Changsheng continued, "Your Majesty, Changsheng doesn't need a penny from the household department. What Changsheng wants is people who build roads. Now that the autumn harvest is over and the busy season of farming has passed, when we are free, our Xujia Village will also repair roads." some financial subsidies for people."

A large number of people are needed to build the road, and Xujia Village definitely doesn't have enough, and such a large-scale recruitment must require the approval of the imperial court.

Li Shimin stood up, "Xuan Yilang, you said that the road can be repaired without a penny allocated by the household department?"

Xu Changsheng replied, "Exactly."

There was an uproar around, and Baiguan felt like a dead dog in his heart, how could this be possible?

How much money would that cost?How much money does Xujiacun have to make to build such a road.

Xu Changsheng raised his head, "Xujia Village can receive His Majesty's favor and exempt all agricultural and commercial taxes. Xujia Village is very grateful, but my Xujia Village is also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. I can't enrich a village and forget the world. People, so although my Xujia Village does not pay taxes, I am willing to build a good road for Datang."

Can't we enrich a village and forget the people all over the world?

Everyone looked at Xu Changsheng, and for some reason they were a little respectful.

Xu Changsheng sighed in his heart. Recently, the whole of Chang'an has been discussing how much money Xu's supermarket, restaurant and performance team made.

Even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it. After all, every day was overcrowded, and anyone with a discerning eye would know that he had made a lot of money.

And earning a lot, when the national treasury was empty, I didn't pay a penny in taxes. Although this is His Majesty's decree, and the three provinces and six ministries passed it, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous and malicious.

After Xu Changsheng noticed this problem, he couldn't do anything about it for a while, but now that their Xujia Village needs to build roads, it's just a matter of time to talk about it.

Anyway, this road is what their Xujia Village needs, so let Xujia Village build it, it can earn a good reputation and solve the problem of not paying taxes.

Li Shimin said, "OK."

Then he looked at the officials of the imperial court, "If all the aristocratic families have the generosity of Xujia Village, why don't we worry about being strong in the Tang Dynasty?"

Many officials of aristocratic families lowered their heads. Who would dislike having a lot of money in their families, especially in some aristocratic families, even in a catastrophic year, they still don't get anything out of it.

What Xu Jiazi did now made many people ashamed.

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, confirmed again, "Xu Jiazi, you can calculate all the costs of road construction, and then don't have problems after the construction starts. This is a good deed but..."

Before Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, finished speaking, Xu Changsheng said, "Master Liu, how about Changsheng's arithmetic? I think Master Liu knows a thing or two, right? Please rest assured that as long as the imperial court allows my Xujia Village to recruit labor, it will be completed satisfactorily. The road is repaired."

Liu Zhenghui was taken aback for a moment, but he forgot that Xu Jiazi stumped all the students of the Guozijian with a calculation problem. Even the doctor of the Guozijian couldn't solve the problem. Xu Jiazi's arithmetic is really incredible.

There were many discussions in the court.

What Xu Changsheng did was indeed too surprising.

Li Shimin also let the people below discuss it, because this matter is too important and they need a little time to digest.

Xu Changsheng took a step back secretly, patted the bread in his hand, and took a bite. Although it fell to the ground, it was still edible.

Now no one cares whether he ate it on the Golden Palace or not. Everyone is discussing the feasibility of the road construction he said.

Xu Changsheng waited, looking at the sun outside, it is probably going to be very late today, his lunch.

But His Majesty, the Prince and the Prime Minister didn't eat it, so he couldn't say anything. He had one more bread than them.

Xu Changsheng fell asleep listening to the discussion, because it was all a question of how various departments could assist. He was not very clear about how the specific departments of the Tang Dynasty operated. In these matters, the officials in the palace are familiar with the way.

I don't know how long this discussion has passed.

Xu Changsheng was still nibbling on his bread secretly.

"Xuan Yilang?" Someone shouted at this moment.

Xu Changsheng was holding the bread and gnawed it. The bread in his mouth was neither taken out nor swallowed. He said awkwardly, "I... I will try for our big tiger to see if the bread is still edible. Really, you want to eat it? Trust me, I just took a bite."

Everyone looked at the bread that was about to be eaten.

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, he actually ate in the hall, didn't he see that all civil and military officials were equally hungry like him?

However, since he was building roads for Datang, let him be spared this time.

Li Shimin said, "Xujia Village was able to build a good road for the Tang Dynasty. I have recorded this credit. However, such things as people's livelihood cannot all depend on Xujia Village."

Xu Changsheng was taken aback. Didn't the old man in the household department just say that he has no money?Does His Majesty mean to pay some money?

Li Shimin continued, "I will ask all the counties to actively participate in this recruitment, and Xujia Village does not need to pay much wages. As long as one person is recruited, the whole family can be exempted from taxes for one year."

Datang has no money, but it can use tax exemption to collect work. I believe many people will actively participate. For a family, tax exemption for one year is also a big deal.

Xu Changsheng's face brightened. In this way, he can pay a lot less wages. He only needs to pay when there are two or more people in one household.

Li Shimin continued, "The officials of the imperial court also need to actively cooperate."

Several officials came out and replied, "Yes."

That's exactly what they're in charge of.

With the technology and money provided by Xujia Village, coupled with the strong support of the imperial court, it was much easier for Xu Changsheng to build the road.

Today's court meeting was relatively late, and it was still a bit inconceivable for the officials to walk out of the Golden Palace.

They actually want to build a concrete road in Tang Dynasty, not just the distance from Xujia Village, but the distance from Chang'an to Xujia Village.

If Xu Changsheng used to run fast, he stopped at the gate of the Golden Palace today.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Shaoqing of the Taifu, didn't you ask me yesterday when the road will be built? Tsk tsk, do you know now?"

Two people: "..."

It's no wonder that Xu Jiazi unexpectedly turned down today and didn't run fast. He was waiting to be slapped in the face one by one.

Sure enough, Xu Changsheng had already run towards the newcomer, "Master Young Prisoner in the palace, Mr. Counseling Doctor, please go slowly, please go slowly, let's talk."

Watch him slap each other in the face one by one if he doesn't guard the door.

It's a pity that these officials have such thick skins that they walked past him without blushing or panting.

After the court, the recruitment order issued by Chang'an County was posted, not only in Chang'an, but also in all counties in Chang'an.

"We are going to build roads in Chang'an?"

"Isn't the official road outside our Chang'an very good? Those potholes can still be repaired."

"How could one person from one household be exempted from tax for one year? This...there was also a levy for road repairs before, but there was no such good treatment. I have to tell my relatives in the countryside."

"That's right, it's actually exempt from tax for one year, and if there are two people, you will be paid a daily wage? The wages are not bad. Now that the autumn harvest is over, it is a good job to make money."

"I heard that Xu Jiazi proposed the road construction, why did His Majesty agree? Didn't it mean that the treasury was tight?"

"Just now there was news that the Ministry of Finance did not pay a penny for the road construction this time, and all of it was borne by Xujia Village, because Xu Jiazi said that Xujia Village didn't pay a penny in taxes, and I feel a little sorry. I can't enrich the village and forget the world. The common people, that's why Xujia Village built this road."

Can't we enrich a village and forget the people all over the world?

Those who heard it were all in awe.

Those wealthy families, those merchants' families, are all developing their own families, when will they think about them as ordinary people.

In the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic families were still in power, even if the dynasties changed, the aristocratic families remained, so some aristocratic families didn't care about the court people, anyway, even if the imperial court fell, their aristocratic families would not fall.

Of course, this is a private thought, and it cannot be said on the surface, otherwise this family will have to end here.

But this kind of thinking has created that the aristocratic family is selfish and only wants to develop itself.

Now what Xujiacun did was so commendable.

Xu Changsheng's words that you can't enrich a village and forget the people in the world quickly spread wildly throughout Chang'an.

Many people looked at the four words of benefiting the country and benefiting the people on the door plaque of Xu's supermarket. They might have just regarded it as four words before, but it seems to be a little different now. What Xu's family did seems to be really benefiting. The country benefits the people.

"A few days ago, who said that Xujiacun earns so much money but doesn't pay taxes, that there is no country and no king?"

"I know how to talk nonsense in one day, and I don't even look at how many things Xujia Village has done to benefit the country and the people."

"They just know, why doesn't their family make a little contribution to Datang? What's the use of talking, you have to do something."

As Xu Changsheng expected, Xujiacun gained a wave of favorability.

With the full cooperation of the imperial court, road construction quickly entered the process.

Because the benefits are good, the recruitment of migrant workers is also very smooth, and a large number of people means that the construction progress is fast.

Xu Changsheng divided the recruited agricultural workers into several batches, one group was used to make cement, the other group went directly to dig the roadbed, and the rest used cement to pave the road.

Because the people in Xujia Village have experience in road construction, Xu Changsheng transferred many people to work as supervisors. They must ensure that the quality of the roads in Xujia Village is the same, otherwise the road will be damaged and it will be very troublesome to repair.

As for the method of making cement, Xu Changsheng is not worried about spreading it, and even said that he still hopes to spread it, so that Datang will have more good roads.

Even if it gets out, who can selflessly contribute money to build roads like their Xujia Village?

Well, there is no private point, because this road is necessary for Xujia Village. Xu Changsheng wants to build Xujia Village into a scientific base, a tourist attraction, for people to visit and consume, so there must be such a road.

To get rich, build roads first, at least the current situation in Xujia Village is like this.

A large number of agricultural workers were recruited, and the court used taxes to offset some of the wages, so that the pressure on Xujia Village was reduced a lot, and the progress of the project could be faster.

The road he designed has four lanes and is very spacious.

Xu Changsheng thought for a while, for such a long road, it is no longer appropriate to use his twigs and roses as green belts for the roadside greening, and this will affect the sales of these two flowers in Xu's Supermarket, which is not worth the candle.

Moreover, gardenias and roses need to be taken care of by people. The maintenance of the road from Chang'an to Xujia Village must not be as meticulous as those in Xujia Village.

Xu Changsheng thought for a while, and immediately thought of a substitute, a flower with such tenacious vitality that it didn't even need human care.

It was the Four Seasons Wild Chrysanthemum, and there happened to be seeds in his leather case.

The Four Seasons wild chrysanthemum is yellow, and the flowers bloom quite large. The key is that its vitality is extremely tenacious, and it can be used to decorate both sides of the road.

Xu Changsheng even made a special trip back to Xujia Village for this reason. His leather case is a combination box, and only he can open it.

The purpose of his return is to grow seedlings. The seedlings of the four seasons wild chrysanthemums can be transplanted to the side of the road when the seedlings are ready.

Xu Changsheng didn't need to check the road construction every day. With the supervisor of Xujia Village, he just went to check every now and then.

When the preparatory work was completed and the road began to be repaired, it was also the time when the Imperial College started school.

Xu Changsheng didn't expect the Imperial College to start school at all, because he still had to go to court when school started, and the tragedy killed him.

Not only that, he had to get up earlier than the chicken as before, and besides that, he had to go to the Imperial College in the afternoon.

There are only two opportunities to relax. One is to inspect the road construction work, and the other is that he is now an official of the Eastern Palace. As long as Prince Li Chengqian arranges tasks for him, he can ask for leave to complete these "tasks".

Therefore, Xu Changsheng ran to the East Palace more diligently recently, hoping that the prince would arrange some tasks for him.

Li Chengqian did give him a task, but it was a pity that it was just a name, and let him manage the servants and maids of the East Palace.

He must not ask for leave, the servants and maids of the East Palace are disobedient, so he has to manage it?

I had no choice but to go to court and go to the Imperial College to attend classes honestly.

The only difference is that the old man Yan Wenshu seems to treat him a little better for some reason.

It’s really just a little bit, I don’t stare at him very much, but there is no mercy when it’s time to punish him. He was punished to stand for eating in class. It’s still the original movement, with his hands raised above his head. Put a book on your head.

He didn't know whether he stood in court every day or he was used to being punished, but he actually felt that being punished made him feel a lot easier.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Xujia Village works hard to make money, because the money paid to the farmers who build roads is paid every month, and they also need funds to ensure circulation, so money is very tight no matter how you look at it.

During this period, the news of the court going to the front line also came back.

After eating pork liver and rhodiola rosea, the soldiers' night blindness and altitude sickness really improved a lot.

Li Jing was about to lead the army to drive straight in.

The imperial court is full of fighting spirit, and the Turkic trouble has plagued the Tang Dynasty for many years, and it would be great if it can be resolved in one fell swoop.

Xu Changsheng also laughed, this is all credit.

But he had to be modest, so he asked, "What do the soldiers think of the pickled pork liver made in our Xujia Village?"

It made everyone in the court laugh, and the originally tense atmosphere relaxed a little.

Cheng Yaojin stood up, "In Li Jing's battle report, he really mentioned that because of the pork liver, the soldiers' appetites increased, and the consumption of military rations increased a lot. I hope to transport more rations."

Xu Changsheng's face turned dark, and he looked at Cheng Yaojin with some resentment.

So, because the pork liver with pickled peppers is so delicious and the military rations are consumed too much, is it his fault?Can't get rid of it even if you want to?

Xu Changsheng decided not to speak, his face turned dark.

Sure enough, when he was in court, some familiar officials came over to make fun of him.

"Xu Jiazi, are you guilty? You actually consumed too much food for our army because of a bag of pork liver." After speaking, a group of people laughed.

Xu Changsheng snorted, what's so ridiculous, it means that the products produced by their Xujia Supermarket must be high-quality goods.

Ride on Dabai and run away.

His time is tight, he has to go to the Imperial College to attend classes.

Walking on the road, he planned to speed up. He had to eat first and then go to the Imperial College, so the time was really tight.

However, there was a bleak sound of musical instruments.

Someone was carrying a coffin across the road.

Someone has a funeral?

Xu Changsheng let Dabai out of the way.

There was a large group of people at the funeral, but it was strange that everyone was expressionless.

The people around were discussing, "It's so pitiful, one dead body and two lives."

"No, what a pitiful person. She married that bad old man of the Zhang family at the age of 13, and now she is pregnant, but it's just like this..."

Xu Changsheng was stunned, "How much...how big?"

In ancient times, with such poor medical conditions, what is the difference between being pregnant at the age of 13 and committing suicide.

Xu Changsheng glanced at the coffin going away, and sighed.

He originally thought it was just an episode, but he didn't expect that after walking a few streets, he ran into another family doing white affairs.

This time the people were obviously from a big family, and the woman cried so much.

When Xu Changsheng heard it, it was a girl again, 12 years old, who died of pregnancy.

Xu Changsheng couldn't move his feet this time, looking at the woman who was so crying that she couldn't even stand on the ground.

The tragic voice surrounded his ears.

This is... human life.

Married and pregnant so early, this result should have been expected.

But blame them?Blame their ignorance?

No, you can only blame them for not understanding.

Xu Changsheng looked at these people, the mother lost her beloved daughter, and the daughter died at a young age, what a tragedy of human relations.

Xu Changsheng was originally going to the Imperial College, but instead he drove Dabai to the Chang'an Yamen.

He felt he should do something.

These people don't understand why their daughter died, but he does.

If he doesn't do something, he feels that he can't pass his own test.

He wanted to let people in Datang know how dangerous it was for a 12-year-old girl to become pregnant so early, which was equivalent to suicide.

He may not be able to change the customs of these early marriages, but he must at least spread his thoughts.

If parents really love their children, at least they will think of his words and hesitate when betrotting their young daughter to others.

As long as one person hesitates, then what he spreads is valuable.

And if he wants people to believe what he says, he has to have evidence.

He went to the yamen, because the yamen has population records, including death records, and he needs to count a big data to be convincing.

Xu Changsheng came to the yamen and said directly to the yamen servant, "I am an official of the Eastern Palace, Xu Changsheng, the secretary of the crown prince's doctor, is Xu Changsheng, the county magistrate Shen Tongzhi, Mr. Shen?"

The yamen servant also recognized Xu Changsheng, and hurriedly said, "Xu...Master Xu, the county magistrate is currently hearing the case. If Mr. Xu wants to find Mr. Shen, you can go inside and wait for a while."

Xu Changsheng nodded, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, "Please pass it on."

Xu Changsheng entered the Houfu and others.

This wait is an hour.

When Shen Tongzhi came in, his expression was not very good, and he couldn't help cursing, "How can there be such parents in this world, who actually...killed their own son with their own hands."

Xu Changsheng was taken aback, was Shen Tongzhi just reviewing this case?

Shen Tongzhi reacted, and apologized, "I'm really sorry, I was too angry just now, and I didn't recover."

Xu Changsheng was like an adult, "It is a blessing for Chang'an to have a good official like Master Shen who is full of righteous indignation and empathy."

Shen Tongzhi shook his head, "What kind of empathy is it? It's just really unacceptable."

"Oh?" Xu Changsheng was taken aback.

Perhaps it was because the case really moved Shen Tongzhi a lot, and he actually said a few words, "Those two were cousins, they got married and gave birth to a son, but because the son was born with dementia, that man couldn't stand outsiders. Ridiculous, actually throwing his own son into a well, do you think this is a human tragedy?"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help being taken aback, what was he talking about with a child.

But Xu Changsheng was stunned.

Kiss more?Son born with dementia?

Another tragedy caused by ignorance.

Such things are probably happening in any corner of Datang.

Shen Tongzhi said again, "I've heard of many such things before, but I didn't expect to encounter them not long after I took office."

Quite a few of these things!Shen Tongzhi is so excited, probably because he is a new official and has little contact with him. He probably will become numb after more contact with him in the future.

Xu Changsheng shook his body, cupped his hands and said, "Master Shen, Changsheng came to ask for something important."

Shen Tongzhi pressed his head, and then suppressed the depression in his heart, "Oh? Come to the Yamen, what's the matter?"

Xu Changsheng said directly, "Changsheng wants to see the household registration records of the whole Chang'an, especially the death records."

Shen Tongzhi was stunned, "This..."

What is Xu Jiazi looking at this for?Also death records?

Shen Tongzhi frowned, "Xu Jiazi, I can agree to other requests, but this household registration is not allowed under the laws of the Tang Dynasty..."

Hearing Shen Tongzhi's explanation, Xu Changsheng was also taken aback for a moment.

The household registration is not something that everyone can check, that's right, it's a document from the yamen and some special departments, and there are population records of various aristocratic families and wealthy families on it. He came in a hurry, so he definitely wouldn't just show it to him without a reason. And what he wants to see is the household registration of the entire Chang'an.

There are so many of them that it is impossible for him to read them all in a short time.

Shen Tongzhi arched his hands, "The responsibility lies."

Shen Tongzhi is indeed a conscientious official. If it were a different person, it might be due to the relationship between Xu Changsheng and the crown prince.

Xu Changsheng walked out of the yamen in a daze.

He still took it for granted, how much time would it take for him to show him alone?

But make him give up?

it's like making him stare blankly
