retaliate

Chapter 1505

Li Er Er felt that Chang'an was boring and not fun.

"In Peach County, I can still run around. In the palace, when I started to run, many people followed, shouting to the king to be careful, while stretching out their hands to protect... Do you know what I think this is like? A group of people A hen guards a chick."

"I can punch them and cry, but I can't, otherwise Auntie will stare and Aye will clean me up. Hey! What do you think I should do? Rich!"

"Wang Wang!"

In the palace, one person and one dog walked slowly, and a group of palace people followed behind, but they didn't dare to get too close.

The prince was kind and friendly, but King De was completely different. He had a rather irritable temperament. If anyone made him unhappy, he would speak with his fists.

"Aye took my elder brother out and didn't take me. My mother said, Aye took my elder brother to endure hardships, but I am not afraid of hardships. Why wouldn't Aye take me with me?"

"They all thought I was stupid, but I knew it a long time ago. That time I was dozing off, and I heard Aye and Aniang say that although they are brothers, there must be boundaries in many things. Are you worried that I will rebel in the future? Hey! Who taught the word rebellion? It seems to be that Lang Shiren. Fugui, where do you think Lang Shiren went?"

"Woof!" The master was not there, no one was running wild with their wealth, and it didn't take long for them to wither.De Wang went to the Prince's side to rush out the door, and brought it out when he saw it. As for the swordsman, he didn't even raise his eyelids when facing De Wang's invitation.

Li Er Er tilted his head and squinted his eyes at the sun, "I always feel that Lang Shiren is dishonest. Aye deals with dishonest people... He likes to watch them get complacent, and then slap them to death when they are complacent. It's like Yes... I punched..."

puff!
Li Laoer turned around and punched Fugui's forehead, and the strong wind blew Fugui's dog hair flying.It squinted its eyes comfortably, feeling the cool breeze.

The maids in the back exclaimed and stopped quickly, fearing that the old man would beat someone up.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

A court lady came up ahead and shouted: "The queen tells you to go."

"What are you going to do?" Li Er Er asked.

"Eat the fruit!"

"Hey! Woman, what a trouble!"

The queen is eating fruit.

Whenever the season comes, some fruits will be tributed from all over the country, and the amount is very large.The emperor keeps some for himself, rewards some, and never wastes it.It's just that occasionally the queen will hear him mumbling something... This is labor insurance, or some kind of high temperature subsidy.

When Li Laoer entered the hall, the queen said angrily, "It looks like a little black charcoal has been exposed to the sun again, come here."

When Li's second son passed by, the empress asked someone to get a cloth towel to wipe off his sweat.

"Stand up!"

"I'm standing."

"Looked up!"

"Mother, this is my face!"

"I know!"

Li Lao Er, whose face was flushed from rubbing, sat down to eat fruit.

"Aniang, when will Aye come back?" Second Li asked filially.

"Probably... I don't know either." The queen was in a mood to eat fruit, and she couldn't help feeling that this son was here to collect debts.

"Queen, it's said that...many fields in Guanzhong are left alone!" Aunt Guan brought the latest news.

"Oh! Why?" The queen was in the mood to eat fruit.

"Those rich and powerful families said that there are no servants in the house, no one to cultivate the land, and I am afraid that there will be no harvest this year." Aunt Guan said: "Guan Zhongshu, the world is full, this is a saying passed down from ancestors."

The queen took a bite of the fruit, "This is a counterattack!"

……

The weather is hot, but there is no one to take care of the fields in Guanzhong.

"There are quite a few servants who are natives who are willing to be tenant farmers. They just need to hire them, but those people are not willing. This is because they want to hurt both sides." Liu Qing sneered.

"That's right! If there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, there will be famine in the world!" Luo Cai scratched his head, "But they don't know that His Majesty is waiting for this!"

"Your Majesty used to act domineeringly, but now he speaks reason everywhere, what to say..." Liu Qing thought for a while.

"Convince people with virtue!" Luo Cai laughed.

"Yes, convincing people with virtue." Liu Qing also smiled, "Using Yongde as the reign title is to convince people with virtue to the outside world. The same is true for your own behavior. Look at this old man! This Tang Dynasty is really full of virtue!"

"When will His Majesty come back?" Luo Cai asked.

"When His Majesty is in Chang'an, those people will be afraid and dare not abandon the crops blatantly. I don't know when His Majesty will come back. But thinking about it, he must come back when he feels that it is time to do something."

"Those poor people." Luo Cai shook his head.

……

The emperor has returned.

The father and son were tanned a lot, and the first thing they did when they returned to Chang'an was to find a place to eat.

"Yuanzhou ramen, son!" The emperor, who looked like a refugee, pointed to the signboard and said, "This is the brand created by my father back then."

"it is good!"

The father and son went in.

"welcome!"

It was a woman who greeted the guests, and shouted towards the inside: "You two honored guests!"

"These are all the rules made by my father back then." The emperor sighed a little.

"Two bowls of ramen, one plate of sauced beef, and another plate of intestines. And..." The emperor looked at the menu on the wall and turned to ask the prince, "What else would my son want to eat?"

The prince said: "Why don't we add more mutton soup!"

"Okay! That's it."

The father and son paid for the sign and found a seat to sit down.

"The business of Yuanzhou Ramen has always been good!"

The emperor was a little relieved that the bonus of Yuanzhou ramen would be delivered to his home every year, but he never asked him to help.

This person is more and more aware of propriety.

"I went to see it. Those crops are drooping their heads. If no one cares about them, I'm afraid they will be sunburned to death."

"Why is no one in charge?"

"It is said that all the servants have been released, and there is no one at home!"

"Isn't it possible to hire tenant farmers? Recently, Chang'an has a lot of manpower, and the price is relatively cheap."

A few diners did not leave after eating, talking about the latest new things.

"Your ramen."

The ramen for the father and son came, and the emperor said, "Son! Have a sip of soup first to warm your stomach."

The prince imitated his father and didn't use a spoon, but picked up a big bowl and made the sound of drinking soup unscrupulously.

"Isn't it beautiful?" asked the emperor.

"nice!"

"Those people! They just didn't want their servants to be released, so they left their crops behind!"

"If so, there may be a famine in Guanzhong this year!"

"This matter was caused by His Majesty, and His Majesty did not appear in the first place."

"That's what you said, is it wrong for His Majesty not to let the people of Tang Dynasty be slaves?"

"I'm right, but let's not blame the past? In this way, there will naturally be no slaves in the Tang Dynasty in a few decades. Now, if there is a famine, how many people will starve to death in Guanzhong? Don't forget, when there was a famine in Guanzhong, the emperors in those years Let’s go to Dongdu with all civil and military officials and the whole family for dinner!”

"Hey!"

"I don't know what His Majesty thinks!"

"I heard that His Majesty is not in Chang'an."

"Do you still have the mind to go out?"

The prince glanced at his father, and saw that his father was eating the ramen intently, savoring it seriously.

"Eat noodles!" The emperor glanced at him.

"Oh!"

After eating the ramen, the father and son returned to the palace belching.

"You two...Your Majesty?"

The sergeants outside the imperial city intercepted the two black charcoal heads, and when they saw carefully that they were the emperor and the prince, they almost stared out their eyes.

God, where did His Majesty and the Prince go?
After entering the palace, the maids and servants met along the way lowered their heads.

Until he walked far away, he could still hear the snickering from afar.

"too dark!"

The queen's first sentence was this, and then said angrily: "You still know how to go home?"

"Isn't this taking Ah Liang around for a while?"

The emperor sat down, "Get some tea quickly."

"How did Da Lang become so black?" The queen was very heartbroken.

"You take care of me anyway." The emperor was a little jealous.

But the queen only cared about her son's health.

Sure enough, after having a son, he forgot about his own man.

The embarrassing emperor heard a rush of footsteps outside.

"Aye!"

God!

The emperor covered his forehead, "Erlang!"

Second Li came in and stared, "Aye, you didn't take me to play!"

"Next time, next time!" The emperor hurriedly promised.

Ten years from now, wherever your child wants to play, just follow her.

The emperor smirked.

Before the father and son took a shower and changed clothes, Liu Qing begged to see him.

"You can't let me stop."

The emperor said dissatisfied.

But still very diligently went to the front to meet Liu Qing.

"how?"

Seeing Liu Qing, the emperor pointed to the side and signaled to sit down.

After Liu Qing saluted, he sat down respectfully and said: "Not long after your majesty left, those people started to do it, and they kept saying that there was no one to look after the fields at home, and the whole family was working hard, but nothing could be done. If things go on like this, I'm afraid this year I'm going to see the sky."

"What do you mean?" asked the emperor.

"Don't worry about it, just watch the sky and eat!"

"Those rich and powerful families have at least five to ten years of food in their homes, and without those servants, there is even more food to eat. They don't worry about their jobs, they want to hurt others with their own base!"

The emperor said: "Are the armies everywhere ready?"

Liu Qing lowered his eyes, "I don't know."

"Afraid of breaking the taboo?" The emperor pointed at Liu Qing, but he didn't force him, "Let Nan He come."

Nan He looked fatter, and saluted after seeing the emperor, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

"it is good!"

The emperor then summoned Cao Ying, Minister of the Household Department.

"It's only right and proper to pay off debts!"

The emperor said murderously: "Those debts should be forgotten."

Cao Ying saluted, "Take orders!"

Back at the household department, Cao Ying summoned the officials under his command.

"The old man asked you to wait to collect and calculate the amount of taxes paid in the first 20 years of Guanzhong. Has there been any result?"

"There is."

Everyone didn't know why he wanted this amount, and someone immediately moved it, and dozens of boxes of various account books were packed.

"Okay!" Cao Ying said: "The last time I checked the slaves, I found out the number of fields in Guanzhong by the way, so I can use it for comparison. How much tax is paid for one mu of land every year, and how much is actually paid, I will calculate it for the old man. How much is the difference? Figure it out!"

Everyone was stunned.

The eyes of several officials flickered, and one of them clutched his stomach and said, "This official has a stomachache."

"Abdominal pain?" Cao Ying sneered, "From now on, entry is allowed in the household department and no exit is allowed. Even if you die, I will die in the household department! Who dares to communicate with the outside world, take it down and send it to Jinyiwei!"
