Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 365
"Brother Bin Wang, what are you thinking?"

Hearing Li Shan's reminder, Ma Zhou came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "Be cautious."

"Brother Bin Wang thinks too much."

Ma Zhou was silent for a moment before speaking, "There are a lot of abandoned fields in Dai County. If you don't measure them, it will be difficult to calmly distribute them to attract people in the future."

This is indeed the main reason for Li Shan's attempt to measure the land. He needs to control the actual situation of the villages and fields in the entire county. In the future, he will recruit people from Shuozhou and Yunzhou to resettle them one by one...and they must be dispersed to prevent clusters. .

"but……"

"Ok?"

"If the people outside the Great Wall come to vote, I'm afraid that the powerful people in the countryside will not tolerate it." Ma Zhou emphasized his tone, and took a deep look at Li Shan, "Such things... have precedents in Shandong."

The desire for land is unstoppable for anyone in this era. Li Shan knows that there are a lot of abandoned fields in Dai County today, which is caused by frequent wars in these years, and the rural clans have nothing to do about it... In short, Dai County The current ceiling of the county is not high, which makes these clans have no appetite to annex the fields.

But if Li Shan's plan can be implemented smoothly, Yanmen and even Mayi will always be in hand, and Dai County will gradually regain its vitality... By that time, the powerful people in the countryside will probably not let those ducks that are just on their lips go away. so fly away.

Ma Zhou’s story about Shandong refers to Cui Bo’s incident... After all, it was because Liu Heita was defeated and died that day. The war in Shandong for many years has come to an end. greedy heart.

Ma Zhou sized up the young man in front of him with almost prying eyes. This was a real test.

Li Shan's various actions in Shandong and Chang'an before made him famous all over the world, but in the end it was due to his own ability... Well, at least in Ma Zhou's view, it was Li Shan's own ability.

But this time is different, the test is Li Shan's level of governance.

Dai County has been the site of the Four World Wars for more than ten years, and the place where corpses are erected. The powerful family members do not want to live there. The Marquis of Baili has real power...and because of Li Shan's personal characteristics, this power can even reach the countryside.

But if Li Shan wants to hold Dai County in his hands, he has to rely on those powerful families in the countryside, how to get along, and the distribution of benefits... This is too much a test for Li Shan.

Ma Zhou doubts whether Li Shan has such a level... After all, this kind of thing cannot be done by a young Yingjie's whimsy.

However, the person in front of Ma Zhou is a time traveler in the skin of a 19-year-old boy.

In his previous life, Li Shan only lived to be 29 years old, but in these 29 years, he was not a child loved by his family. He has gone through countless hardships, he climbed up step by step, and he broke out of difficulties time after time.

Even, he is not a good person... Although he singled out a "good".

Li Shan is very clear about Ma Zhou's question, how to drive these powerful families in the countryside?
"There is no set rule." Li Shan chuckled, "It's nothing more than a combination of grace and power."

"Exercise kindness and strength?"

"Before, I was gentle and kind." Li Shan sneered and said, "Afterwards, I will show kindness again..."

In terms of fame and status, even the most famous He Lou clan in Dai County is not worth mentioning. None of them has become an official, and their in-laws have all declined. Whether in Dai County or Chang'an, their importance is far from being comparable to Li Shan. Not to mention the other families.

It is Huairen's kindness to let their children accompany them, and let their children have the possibility of becoming an official in the future.

In Li Shan's plan, a caravan was formed to conduct business in Cyprus, and these rural powerful families were the main force. Li Shan speculated that even now, there may be smuggling caravans.

But can this kind of small-scale smuggling be compared with large-scale smuggling?

The entanglement of interests is even more the benefits that Li Shan bestows, and he has repeatedly bestowed favors... Will those powerful families in the countryside bow their heads and obey their ears?

Li Shan, who is well aware of the dangers of the human heart, certainly knew it was impossible. His eyes were mixed with coldness, and he did not speak, but stared at Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou turned his head thoughtfully, "If any family jumps out..."

"Haha, then of course it is to kill one to make an example to others."

Ma Zhou felt relieved, regained his usual expression, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "I forgot, Huairen is the best at staying away."

The key to the so-called retreat is the result after retreating three times in a row... In the Battle of Chengpu, Duke Wen of Jin retreated three times in a row in order to repay his past kindness, and finally defeated the Chu army. The enemy general Ziyu committed suicide.

Li Shan retreated repeatedly in the Furong Garden that day, just like he repeatedly extended favors to powerful clans in Dai County.

In fact, even if these families keep their own law and order, and the people of Yunzhou and Shuozhou come to vote in the future, Li Shan will create friction if there is no friction... Otherwise, how to control the powerful clan, or how to securely vote for the hearts of the people?

"Everything is ready, now I only owe Dongfeng..."

Hearing this sentence, Ma Zhou understood after a little thought. This was using the Battle of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms as a metaphor for Chang'an.

At this moment, a horse hissed from outside, and Zhu Ba reported from outside, "Mr. Lang, Du Xiao and Zhao Da are back."

"The east wind is coming."

Ma Zhou was a little puzzled, why could he confirm that it was the east wind and not the west wind?
"Marquis of Linji County..." Li Shan stood up to greet him in surprise. He had heard Su Dingfang mention Kan Leng's title in his letter.

Kan Leng grinned, a slightly bitter smile.

After receiving the letter from Du Xiao, Li Shan read it quickly. After pondering for a while, he took the letter from Ling Jing from Zhao Da, sat down with his arms around Kan Leng's shoulders, and laughed loudly: "I haven't seen you with my own eyes. Beating Luo Yi up, what a pity, what a pity!"

Kan Leng struggled lightly to break free, and fell deeply on the ground, "Jianghuai army rebelled, and the entire court was killed. Thanks to the county magistrate for his words, so that the foster father can be saved."

On that day, the news of the Jianghuai army's rebellion reached Longxi Road. Kan Leng was extremely alarmed, but the messenger told him that King Wu was fine. There is no taboo in going in and out, and he once entered the palace to have an audience.

Kan Leng beat Luo Yi so badly this time, partly because he stood up for Li Shan.

Li Shan asked a few words about the Western Expedition and said with a smile, "How about calling me Brother Kan?"

"Don't dare to do it." Kan Leng got up, and said solemnly: "Father-in-law ordered, everything is subject to the order of your step."

"In that case, let's call him Brother Kan, and you call Huairen." Li Shan smiled and said, "This time, Wang Junhao's lord will be his personal guard. He is the nephew of the famous Hebei general Wang Fubao. But it’s hard to be alone.”

"Brother Kan is not only excellent in martial arts, but also good at commanding the army. This time, I may have to rely on it. I also ask Brother Kan to help."

Kan Leng is humble again and again, but this person is a bit dull, repeating those few words over and over again.

Li Shan asked Zhu Ba to arrange accommodation, first asked Kan Leng to rest, then turned to look at Ma Zhou, and said twice, "Third sister is really...but it is really useful."

Ma Zhou cursed inwardly... Normally, she was called Princess Pingyang in the open and in the dark, but she immediately changed her name to Third Sister when she received a favor from her!
After handing over both letters, Li Shan said with a soft smile: "King Qin has not changed his sharp nature, and this time the East Palace suffered a great loss."

After reading the letter in doubt, Ma Zhou bared his teeth and said, "Hundreds of thieves attacked Suzaku Gate... What is the prince trying to do?"

In the beginning, Li Shan was a little unbelievable. In history, Li Er made a change of Xuanwu Gate. Does Li Jiancheng want to make a change of Suzaku Gate in this life?
But after reading the two letters, Li Shan vaguely remembered this incident. In history, Li Jiancheng transferred troops from Luo Yi's Youzhou Army to Beijing and was exposed... There is no doubt that it must be Li Shimin's handwriting.
