Chapter 1497 The foundation of prosperity
The civil unrest in Zhangzhou was suppressed in less than a quarter of an hour.

The first offenders were caught. According to the emperor's pissing nature, most of these people were going to some place to build roads for a lifetime.

But Zhao Yong beheaded these first criminals in the downtown area for public display.

Then spread it to all parts of Zhangzhou.

"Who dares to rebel?"

This sentence spread to Zhangzhou.

Those powerful families in Zhongzhou who were about to make a move died down.

"With 2000 troops, it took only a quarter of an hour to defeat the [-]-strong army of Ding Fan and others."

"By God, that's 2 people! Even killing [-] hogs is not easy!"

"That's a fierce soldier from Northern Xinjiang!"

The powerful clans of Zhongzhou were discussing secretly, and an old man said: "Those fierce soldiers killed from Northern Xinjiang to Beiliao, from Beiliao to Shegu, from Shegu to the South, and then from the South to Southern Zhou... Everyone , These are all murderous demon kings. The emperor dares to attack us at this moment, relying on these people!"

Everyone was silent, and the old man asked: "I don't dare, I will hand over the roster when I get home. What are you waiting for?"

"I'm not reconciled!" A tyrant said in pain, "Without slaves, what else do we have?"

"Without slaves, what's the difference between us and those ordinary people? We're just rich landowners with some money."

Although it is spring, the lobby is still a bit cold, but everyone is sweating profusely.

"If you want a slave, you will lose your life." The old man said coldly: "There was a murder in the street in Zhangzhou, and your and my heads are still on the neck. Is life more important, or those slaves?"

After some discussion, everyone went back separately.

Most of the powerful families are as immovable as a mountain.

But the officials immediately went to the door to check.

After a few twists and turns, most of the families finally handed over the roster... You don't have to hand it over, the government will find out all the crimes.

Some obey, and some resist.

The five powerful families refused to cooperate, and then the army came to the door and ransacked the house!

The five patriarchs were taken to the busy city, and the sergeants didn't gag their mouths. All five of them cried and begged for mercy, saying that they were infatuated with ghosts and so on.

But the military order is like a mountain.

"cut!"

Five human heads rolled down in the busy city, and the surroundings were completely silent.

"Send it everywhere!"

The general of the commanding army grinned grinningly and said, "Yeah, I haven't killed anyone for a long time, come a few more!"

When these words spread, those powerful clans were terrified, thankful that they chose to cooperate instead of resisting.

There are killings everywhere in Datang.

"The most violent resistance was in Yunzhou. Those big clans formed a rebellious army and broke through two cities. Afterwards, our army encircled and wiped out this rebellious army."

"Why was Yunzhou destroyed?" the emperor asked.

Jielong said: "In the government of Yunzhou, [-]% of them colluded with those people, and they cooperated with each other. The same is true in the army."

"The big family is really a serious disaster for the country." A Liang said with emotion from the side.

Your maternal ancestral family is an aristocratic family... The emperor glanced at his son, thinking that I should solve these troubles!
With the extension of the will, there are different turmoil in various places.

The emperor sits in Chang'an, and the generals under his command lead the way to suppress the Quartet.

But Guanzhong and Chang'an did not move.

The emperor looked coldly at the frequent secret meetings of the big clans in Guanzhong, and said to his confidants: "If you start to move the big clans in Guanzhong, it will inevitably involve my power and prepare the powerful clans everywhere. Therefore, I put them on hold and see if they can do it." Dare to jump the beam."

Cao Ying was in charge of the household department and hurried to see the emperor.

"Old Cao, you have a happy face, but something good happened?"

the emperor joked.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Ying raised the brochure in her hand, "I got a lot of money from the fields by ransacking houses from all over the country, and there is also a lot of grain. The Ministry of Households distributed it!"

"Yeah! The big family fell, and the household department was full!"

The emperor said meaningfully.

Most of the world's wealth is concentrated in the hands of powerful families, and these people who hold the world's wealth do not have the concept of the world's family and country in their hearts.

"The wealth of the Tang Dynasty is in the hands of a group of people who only see their own prosperity and wealth. This is a dangerous thing."

The emperor taught the prince, and the prince asked: "Then, can wealth be in the hands of people who know the family, the country, and the world?"

"Difficult!" The emperor shook his head, "A farmer, a craftsman, a scholar, what are they thinking about when they are in their infancy?"

"Get rich."

"After they have money, what will they think?"

"Bao Nuan thinks about that..."

"When that doesn't make them happy, what do they chase?"

"that power!"

"What do they do when their path to power is cut off?"

"Hmm..." Ah Liang thought for a long time this time, "Either rebel, or...just..."

"They dare not rebel, but they will use money to collude with officials, and control power by cultivating agents. Secondly, they will chase and grab more money, and use money to get everything they want... At this time, In their eyes, only you!"

The emperor pointed to his chest, "They feel that they have transcended the realm of mortals and become gods. And the family, the country, and the world are born with the people as their foundation. These gods don't care about the life and death of mortals."

"Then...then what should we do?" A Liang had never been deeply exposed to this level of problems, and he was a little anxious.

"First, cut off the hand that grabs power from their curves; second, use various means to balance the world's wealth."

The prince seemed to understand but said: "It is... to make this world more... more..."

"Let this world be more fair!"

The emperor said: "The world is a pot. The emperor's responsibility is to make more food in this pot so that everyone can eat. But some people eat too much and take up too much. This At that time, the emperor will take action..."

"Fair!" the emperor said to the prince, "this is the responsibility of the emperor. When the world is no longer fair, the emperor will sit on the firewood pile."

This class lasted for a long time, so that the prince was a little distracted when he went back. The queen was worried, so she asked the emperor at night.

"Ah Liang has always felt that this world is beautiful. I just revealed the true side of this world in Tang Dynasty, and let him see the ugliness beneath the beauty. He needs to slowly digest what I said."

"Is Ah Liang too young?"

"When I was his age, I had to go up the mountain to fight those beasts. Although it's unfair to Ah Liang, who made him the prince?"

The emperor embraced the queen, and said softly: "Ah Liang's age is just the period of casting his character. I bring him by my side to influence him subtly."

"Where are the gentlemen?"

"A group of rotten Confucians, it's okay to teach knowledge, but they don't know anything about how to be an emperor."

"Then how did you learn the Emperor's Heart Technique?"

The emperor thought for a while, and said with a strange expression:
"It's social beating."

……

The news kept coming from everywhere.

"There are almost no states and counties that have a smooth transition."

Han Ji said with emotion: "People die for money, and birds die for food!"

This trend quickly spread to the hometown of Beiliao.

Then it spread to Changling's ears.

"That emperor is probably crazy. He even made an enemy of the world's powerful and powerful clans. Now the Tang Dynasty is full of wars. Princess Dachang, this is our chance!"

A courtier said with bright eyes: "At this moment, if we raise our troops, we will definitely be able to restore the mountains and rivers of the Liao Dynasty."

Changling didn't speak, but the courtiers found that Xiao Hua and others were silent.

"This……"

"Xiao Qing, tell them about it!" The eldest princess ordered.

"Yes!"

Xiao Hua said: "Just before the news reached us, the scouts discovered that there were scouts from the Northern Frontier Army around. Zhen Siwen said that the weather has been good recently, so he invited the old man to drink."

When it came to Zhen Siwen, the faces of these courtiers were not very good-looking.

Zhen Siwen led the army to move around, and basically did not cross the border when there was nothing to do.But if something happened... For example, last time when there was a riot, Zhen Siwen would unceremoniously lead his army to rush in, block the way of the rebels, and kill them.

This incident made everyone feel a little palpitated, thinking that with such an army by their side, if one day the emperor in Chang'an decides to do something, can we resist?
After some calculations, everyone felt that they could only lie down and die as equals.

Only then did everyone realize that we all depended on the Eldest Princess and the Da Langjun to live, without these two, the one from Chang'an would wipe us out without hesitation.

As a result, everyone showed a little more respect to Changling and the child, and their loyalty value soared to the peak.

"During the banquet, Zhen Siwen mentioned one thing. He said that every time the emperor conquered a Daliao city, he would inevitably relocate the local powerful clans to other places. When those powerful clans migrated, all the slave population was left behind. In a strange place, there is no longer the original power."

"Daliao destroyed the country, and the powerful clans also disappeared. Therefore, after the decree of cleaning up the population of various places reaches the old place of Daliao, it is useless."

Xiao Hua finally said: "In the old land of Daliao, there are no slaves!"

When he returned to work, there was a dead silence in the hall.

The eldest princess said, "That person is impeccable in his actions, so take care of all your little thoughts, and don't cause trouble for yourself."

Everyone's hearts shuddered, and they thought of Zhen Siwen again.

Someone tentatively asked: "What about the northern border? Can those powerful clans watch their servants come out of the country?"

Changling said: "When the decree reaches the northern border, all the powerful clans are praising...Your Majesty is wise!"

Xiao Hua added: "Northern Border is the land of dragon prosperity for that person, and the hearts of the people are towards him. And there are many troops stationed. Song Zhen is sharpening his sword, waiting for someone to jump out... Those people are afraid that they will be too slow, and give Song The opportunity to shake hands. The so-called powerful clan, before the sword, the courage is not as good as the evil one."

Hey!
A group of courtiers who wanted to restore the country bowed their heads, and the air of despair was permeating.

"Once the population of each place is cleared, those powerful families will be tigers without minions. The place will be stable, and so will the Tang Dynasty. This..."

Changling stood up, "The so-called prosperity lies first in the locality. The troubles of the locality lie in the powerful clans. Break off their minions, and the locality will have a basis for great governance. Then, the prosperous age will not be far away."

Xiao Hua sighed: "That person's method is really as mysterious as his use of soldiers. The seemingly unwise move hides a mystery."

Then they dispersed.

Changling went back and told the child about it.

How could a four-year-old know this, Chang Ling just told him out of habit.

"Auntie."

He Lianguang grabbed his mother's long sleeve and asked, "Who is that powerful man?"

"Your father!"
