Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1399 Success
Li Chengqian and the others returned to Bazhong City.

After that, He Bu followed Ma Zhou's instructions to prepare for tomorrow's event.

At dusk, just as Li Chengqian and the others returned to the posthouse, spies rushed to report.

"His Royal Highness, you have investigated everything that you asked to investigate."

Li Chengqian nodded and asked, "What's going on?"

"What Rourou said is true. In the entire city of Bazhong, there are indeed quite a few dignitaries or wealthy businessmen who bully others and take away fertile land that should belong to other people. The governor of Bazhong and these people often Collaborate and take advantage of it."

The spies told Li Chengqian about the situation, and after Li Chengqian listened, his eyebrows froze immediately.

"Damn it, these dignitaries and wealthy businessmen are getting richer and richer, but what about the common people, they are cutting off the people's back, and then cutting off my Tang's back."

If the common people have no money, no food, and can't survive, then they will definitely rebel.

Any rebellion is for survival.

After Li Chengqian said this, Ma Zhou also sighed softly beside him, and said: "His Royal Highness, in fact, this kind of situation not only exists in Bazhong City, but also in our Chang'an City. Of course, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, those people still Don’t dare to steal by chance, but they have plenty of money, and they will keep buying land, and the more land they buy, the less the people have. The final result must be that they are getting richer and the people are getting poorer .”

Although these people did not use other bad means to enclose land, they used money to enclose land, and the final result must be similar.

With less land in the hands of the people, they naturally feel insecure, which undoubtedly increases their chances of rebellion.

In the long run, Datang will definitely have problems.

After Ma Zhou said this, Li Chengqian felt that this problem was a bit serious.

"What Mr. Ma said is, in Mr. Ma's opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

"His Royal Highness, there are many people who are rich. There is nothing wrong with it. There are rich and poor people in this world. However, we do not object to people being rich, but we also hope that those who do not have money can live Letting them own a few acres of fertile land is the most basic situation, so the lower officials feel that if they want to solve this problem, they can only control the amount of land owned by the rich and powerful. The fertile land can be planted, and what’s more, taxes are collected according to the gap between the rich and the poor. Rich people have great responsibilities, so they pay more taxes. Poor people, they are already poor. Are you alive or not?"

Ma Zhou explained his thoughts. Of course, these are issues that he has thought about before, but he has never met the opportunity, and he has never done it before. In a nutshell, given Li Chengqian's status as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, even if it cannot be resolved now, he will definitely consider this issue after he ascends the throne.

As long as this problem is considered, Datang is still saved and can last for a long time.

Li Chengqian nodded, and said: "The method Mr. Ma said is good, the crown prince should think about it."

The method is indeed very good, but Li Chengqian is not the kind of irrational person, whether to use this method or not, he has to think again.
-
After one night, the next morning, the entire Bazhong City was very noisy.

"Have you heard that His Royal Highness is going to push the boulder so that the water in our place can be drained away?"

"I've heard of it, why haven't I heard of it, but the boulder is so big that it can't be moved at all. Does His Royal Highness have a solution?"

"That's His Royal Highness, my son after the Tang Dynasty, can he do anything?"

"It's true, His Royal Highness is extraordinary, let's go and see what His Royal Highness does."

"That's right, that's right, let's go and join in the fun. I heard that yesterday, Master Don't Drive found a strong man."

"........."

After the news spread, the people started talking about it.

After Li Chengqian and the others got up, they came to the governor's mansion to meet He Bu, and He Bu told Li Chengqian and the others about the situation.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Ma, according to Mr. Ma's instructions, everything has been prepared. We found a lot of bamboo and tied it into a big, long and thick bamboo stick. Moreover, we have also found a big stone to hold As a fulcrum, there is an open space next to the valley, our people can stand on it and pry it, there should be no problem."

In comparison, this He Bu is still very efficient and willing to do things.

Li Chengqian nodded, and immediately led his people towards the mouth of the valley.

On the way, many people voluntarily followed him, and there were more and more people. Li Chengqian welcomed this situation very much, because the more people knew that he had solved this problem, the more people would recognize him as the prince. This is very helpful for him to consolidate his position.

To put it bluntly, these are also his political achievements.

A group of people rushed to the valley in a mighty way, and when they rushed over, it felt like a sea of ​​people.

And the people who followed were talking about it.

For some reason, they had great confidence in Li Chengqian when they thought it was impossible to solve the matter before.

It seemed that as long as Li Chengqian was around, the problem would definitely be solved.

That kind of trust may come from Li Chengqian's identity. Everyone will subconsciously believe in people with status higher than themselves. What's more, after Li Chengqian came to Bazhong, he helped them solve many problems. Such ability is also worthy of trust .

Once there, a boat pushed down a stone that was close enough to the boulder to act as a fulcrum.

After finishing this, they took out the ridiculously long bamboo stick. The hardness and tenacity of the bamboo was very good, and several sticks were tied together, which were about the size of a person's waist, so that it was even stronger.

After fixing one end of the bamboo stick, all the people He Bu found here began to pry it.

"One two three, pry!"

"Yah... hey..."

He Bu found a lot of people. With so many people standing here to pry it, the strength is quite strong. Although the boulder is also huge, but with the fulcrum, the strength of the people has increased several times invisibly.

There was only a bang, and the boulder was pried and rolled over.

The boulder rolled, and the water behind it suddenly rushed, directly driving the boulder, and there was another rumbling sound, and the boulder was washed down.

The boulder fell, and the water flowed down. After seeing this scene, the people immediately exclaimed: "Successful, successful..."
