Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 576
After the others left, Du Ruhui couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, is it too hasty to do this?"

Although he was born in the Jingzhao Du family, he is the emperor's confidant, so he is naturally more inclined to the emperor. Moreover, from his eyes, it can be seen that it is a good system for a weak family to strengthen the common people.

But now, there are still many aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty, and throwing out such a system at this moment is tantamount to provoking the world's aristocratic families.

Xue Shou also said: "Your Majesty, this time Luozhou and Zhengzhou are trying to implement this system. Although the Zheng family can handle it and make it cooperate, what about the future?"

What he meant was that not every time Mrs. Zheng was taken advantage of.

Li Zhiyun smiled, "Don't worry, in the future, I will have other ways for them to cooperate with me."

Sure enough, His Majesty is determined to replace the rent adjustment system with the rent-to-acre system.

Du Ruhui asked: "Your Majesty, can you tell me what to do in the future?"

"Don't worry, you will know." Li Zhiyun said: "What I can tell you now is that I will not learn from Yang Guang."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou were a little relieved, they were afraid that the emperor's strides would be too big and they would not be able to stop at that time, which would cause disaster.

Xue Shou said: "In this case, the minister has no objection. However, if we want to try this system in Luozhou and Zhengzhou, if there is no place to cooperate, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve. Although Dai Zhou is talented, but let him take the lead in this matter. I'm afraid it will take some time."

Some time is already a euphemism for Xue Shou. His original intention was to remind the emperor that even if the imperial court distributes land to the people in the Central Plains and implements this system, it will be difficult to achieve without the cooperation of local snakes.

Li Zhiyun had already considered this point.

There are policies and measures to counter.How could he not have thought of this situation.

"I have decided to transfer Zheng Shanguo to be a doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and let him cooperate with Dai Zhou."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou immediately understood.

If the Zheng family in Xingyang is willing to cooperate with the imperial court, then the local snakes of the Central Plains generation can effectively suppress and even force them to cooperate.

And will Zheng Shi cooperate?
The answer is yes, Mrs. Zheng dare not not cooperate!

Unless Mrs. Zheng wants to die, they have no confidence to reject the emperor's intention now.

The next day, at the court, Li Zhiyun formally proposed to implement the Dingmu system in Luozhou and Zhengzhou. Unsurprisingly, [-]% to [-]% of the ministers expressed their opposition.

Then, Li Zhiyun threw Zheng Shanguo's memorial to the ministers.

After reading it, the ministers from aristocratic families seemed to have seen a ghost.

The Zheng family in Xingyang is willing to take the initiative to donate the land to the court, and then cooperate with the court to distribute it to the people. This is too outrageous.

Later, Li Zhiyun assured that this system will only be tried in Luozhou and Zhengzhou, and other states will not consider it for the time being.

Although some ministers feel that once this matter is opened, it will definitely be difficult to clean up in the future, but they are not easy to refuse.

Short-handed ah!
Wool is very popular in the grasslands, and soap and tea are distributed in the Western Regions. If they go against the emperor, will the emperor take back their distribution rights?
This question put them in a dilemma.

It is really difficult to choose between money on the one hand and fields on the other.

They argued with each other for three or four days, and the matter was not settled until Zheng Shanguo came to Beijing from Bizhou according to the order.

Because, Zheng Shanguo's performance in the Tai Chi Hall was even better than licking a dog.

He said; what His Majesty means is the meaning of the Zheng family. Your Majesty said that it is good for the family to share their income, and the Zheng family will definitely cooperate with all their strength!

Of course, it's not so straightforward, but that's what it means.

At this moment, the ministers were speechless.

The parties concerned feel that there is no problem, so what is the use of their objection?

In terms of influence, in the Central Plains area, the Zheng family in Xingyang is naturally second to none. They are all willing to use their fields to cooperate with the court. Is what other people say useful?

Many aristocratic ministers asked Zheng Shanguo in private what he was thinking and how he could cut off his limbs.

Zheng Shanguo told them righteously; the Zheng family of Xingyang will always be loyal to His Majesty and the imperial court.

However, in private, Zheng Shanguo couldn't express his suffering, and could only shed tears in his stomach.

If you don't cooperate with the emperor, once the emperor announces the plague in Luozhou, the Zheng family in Xingyang will be completely finished.

He also knew that the fact that he was transferred back was because the emperor asked him to go to the Central Plains to take advantage of him and stabbed to death the younger brothers of the Zheng family in Xingyang with a knife.

But does he dare to refuse?

He really didn't dare.

If they refuse, not only will the Zheng family of Xingyang die, but their reputation will be completely rotted because of the plague.

He has no power to choose at all, only the fate of being chosen.

With a single thought, Zheng Shanguo let himself and the entire Zheng family in Xingyang fall into the abyss.

In the end, this matter was still done by Li Zhiyun.

There are many reasons for these family ministers to agree, the main ones are nothing less than three points.

First, the emperor had soldiers in his hands.Second, they are now inseparable from the emperor's supply.Third, the Zheng family in Xingyang is willing to die, how can they persuade them to live.There is another reason that is not the reason. The fire burned in Luozhou and Zhengzhou, but not in their own home. They subconsciously felt that it didn't matter.

However, there are still many ministers from aristocratic families who hope that the emperor will not promote it throughout the Tang Dynasty.There are various reasons, but generally speaking, I don’t want to lose my land.

Li Zhiyun laughed, neither agreeing nor objecting.

The future is long, and he has plenty of ways to get these people to agree.

After sending Dai Zhou and Zheng Shanguo away, Li Zhiyun stood on the city wall, silently apologizing to the people of Luozhou in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't want to kill Zheng to pursue responsibility, but he can't.

At present, the various factions in the court are in a delicate balance stage, and all the factions have been suppressed by the late emperor and Li Zhiyun to some extent.

If the Zheng family and even the Pei family were severely hit at this time, it would make the Shandong family who had always been indifferent to the Tang Dynasty even more alienated from the court.

This is definitely not a good thing.

It is impossible to maintain the stability of the world by relying on Guanlong people alone. This is a lesson of history.

If you want to eliminate the aristocratic family, you can only plan in the long run.The attempt to implement the system of sharing the land into the mu in Luozhou and Zhengzhou this time is a start.

If you don't move, you will be done, and if you move, you will be thunderous, so that they have no power to resist!
Among them, it is necessary to win over the majority and attack a small number.

Only by making many of his friends and making the enemy helpless can he gradually kill the enemy on a stable basis.

And how to make yourself a lot of friends?

Then you have to be willing to spend money, eat meat by yourself, and let them drink soup with you.

For example, this time in Luozhou and Zhengzhou, when the system was implemented, many courtiers wavered and even remained silent because of the cards given by the emperor.

They were more lucky. Anyway, the reason why the emperor tried the system of dividing the land into the mu in Luozhou and Zhengzhou this time was because the Zheng family in Xingyang collectively lowered their wisdom.

If the emperor did this on his own land, they would strongly oppose it, not only that, but also let the local small landlords do it in private!
"Huh, I really can't be a holy king." Li Zhiyun murmured.

On second thought, this emotion was buried by him.

Wanting to be a holy king in the Tang Dynasty, where there are many aristocratic families, is a bit whimsical.

But he doesn't regret it, he is willing to bear such a thing for the sake of the people of Tang who will spread to every corner of the world after a thousand years.

"It's better to make the people of Tang Dynasty prosperous forever than to make the world clear for a while." He told himself silently in his heart.

In the distance, Dai Zhou and Zheng Shanguo walked away in silence with each other.

Dai Zhou didn't feel much. He went to Luozhou this time and was only responsible for counting the population and acres. As for how to get the data, it depends on Zheng Shanguo's ability.

Before leaving, the emperor told him that if Zheng Shanguo didn't cooperate, he could be captured at any time and sent back to Chang'an.
