Chapter 303 Four Brothers Go Out

Li Ke asked: "Grandfather, are you talking about the annexation of the land by the family?"

Li Yuan nodded, and asked expectantly, "Do you have a solution?"

The four shook their heads: "No?"

Li Yuan suddenly felt disappointed.

What are you skinning without you guys here?

"Hurry up and find a way to help, otherwise, your father will be in trouble this time."

Li You said heartlessly: "Whenever he doesn't trouble, he doesn't trouble, that's strange!"

"That's right, there are hundreds of civil and military officials in his court, and the humerus minister can't solve it. Why do you want us?" Li Tai also said very dissatisfied.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and asked: "What do you mean, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with your father?"

Li Chengqian said: "My teacher has mentioned it several times, telling him to remove those great Confucian scholars, but he just doesn't listen, he just doesn't listen. Now, look, can those great Confucian scholars help him solve the problem?"

"you."

Li Yuan was speechless, did the relationship problem come from here?This is to fight for their teacher's injustice!
Li Yuan said: "Those Confucian scholars can't solve it, can you solve it?"

Li Chengqian said: "We can't do it, but my teacher will definitely do it."

Li Yuan said: "It's not enough to just talk about it. If you have the ability, you can show some real materials. Otherwise, how can you prove that you are better than those Confucianists?"

Li Ke said: "Grandfather, you don't need to use aggressive methods. All along, my teachers have proved with facts that he is stronger than those Confucian scholars, and he is much stronger. What do you say?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Well, I also admit that your teachers are better than those great Confucians, but is this the reason for removing those great Confucians? You can't have a powerful person in the court, and the emperor will send the rest to you." Everyone get out, right?"

Forehead?
The four brothers and sisters were speechless.

Li Yuan said with a bright smile: "If you can prove that you are all better than those great Confucians, then it is really a reason to remove those great Confucians."

The four brothers looked at each other in blank dismay.

Li Yuan was right.If those old guys can't even do the four young men.Even if the emperor doesn't withdraw them, they probably have many people resigning themselves, right?
"Come on, three juniors, let's find the teacher."

Li Ke said, took the lead and left.

"Hey... a child can be taught."

Looking at their backs, Li Yuan showed a smile as if he had succeeded in a trick.

In the prison of the Ministry of punishment.

Changsun Wuji brought people here, all the way to Guan Wang Shiheng's cell.

At this time, Wang Shiheng was sitting cross-legged on the ground with eyes closed.He moved his ears without raising his eyelids, and said, "Here?"

Changsun Wuji stood outside the cell with a few people, looked at Wang Shiheng inside, and said expressionlessly: "Tell me, how can we solve the problem of land annexation this time?"

"Hehe, haha, hehehahahahahaha..."

Hearing this, Wang Shiheng couldn't help laughing out loud.

"How? What I said is not wrong, even if you kill me, the whole Tang Dynasty will be buried with me."

Changsun Wuji suppressed his anger and said, "Yes, I admit that you are right. The matter is indeed as you said. Now, can you tell me the solution?"

Wang Shiheng looked terrified, and said, "Are you begging me?"

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I'm begging you. Tell me, how can we solve it?"

"Hahahahahaha... Changsun Wuji, are you begging for help? Kneel down..."

Changsun Wuji's face darkened, and slowly changed from the color of a pig's liver to the color of a pot.

Insult, outright insult.

Ordinarily, Changsun Wuji can also be regarded as the head of the current Changsun family.It is also awesome outside.

But his new family can't compare with this old family.

Is this the heritage of these centuries-old families?Just any old guy can make him, a big boss who commands the wind and rain in the court, so embarrassing.

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "Old fellow, you are courting death."

"Hehe, Zhao Guogong, you are so majestic! However, you alone can't scare the old man. I give you two choices, either kneel down and beg me, or let him Li Erlang come to the cell to pick me up. "

Changsun Wuji clenched his fists tightly.

Wang Shiheng didn't even lift his eyelids, his expression was quite calm.

"Hmph... let's go."

Changsun Wuji turned around and led the people away quickly.

Soon, Changsun Wuji returned to Ganlu Hall.He cupped his hands to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, that old guy is just a stone in the latrine, smelly and hard. He asked Your Majesty to pick him up in person. His attitude is extremely arrogant."

Changsun Wuji, when those words came out, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and the others almost lost their temper.

Cheng Yaojin immediately jumped out and said angrily: "Mr. Zhao, why didn't you chop him up with a sword? I told you just now to let me go, but you just didn't listen. If I go, I won't suffer what he did." bird air."

"Okay, Zhijie, don't be angry. Everyone, come and think about it, and what method can be used to solve it!"

Li Shimin said very calmly.

It wasn't that he wasn't angry, but that he was already too angry, knowing that it was useless to be angry, so he calmed down.

Everyone was silent, and finally Wei Zheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, otherwise, we should spend money to compete with them!"

That's right, what Wei Zheng meant was that they also took money from the treasury to buy land.

This is a seemingly feasible method that they discussed together in the past few days.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"Zheng Guogong, will you, a great Confucian, come up with such bad ideas?"

who?How dare you say such arrogant words.

Everyone looked up.

I saw Li Ke slowly walking into the Ganlu Hall with his three juniors.

It was Li Ke who said this.

At this moment, Li Shimin's heart trembled fiercely, that's right, why did I forget that I have a few monstrous sons.

As soon as Wei Zheng saw that Li Ke dared to insult him like this, he immediately became angry.

You know, before these princes saw these great Confucians, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.They can deal with them as they want.

There is no way, these great Confucian scholars are generally the teachers of their princes.These princes are really not qualified to challenge them.

But since they worshiped Cheng Chuli as their teacher, these princes have less and less regard them.

Now it's even more outrageous, even confronting them head-on, it's okay to let it go like this.

Wei Zheng was quite angry. "Wu Wang, why is this a bad idea of ​​mine, you should tell me."

With his hands behind his back, Li Ke stood up straight, looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Okay, then listen to me. First of all, how much money do you have? Is your money enough for those big families?" ?”

That's right, Li Shimin's internal funds plus the money in the treasury are now about 5000 million yuan.

5000 million sounds like a lot.

Actually?
As a matter of fact, just picking out two of those big families can overthrow him.Not to mention that so many families are united together.

Therefore, if it is more than money, Li Shimin must not be able to compare.And there are several levels of difference.

Li Ke said: "You don't need to answer. I know that it is definitely not as good as those big families. Since we have no money, what are we going to do with them? When people mention twenty times and thirty times, what should we do?" ? Do you want my father's little money to be wasted?"

Forehead?
Wei Zheng was a little dumbfounded.When they discussed together, didn't they say that this method is still a little feasible?
Why does it seem completely unfeasible to listen to his analysis?
Li Ke didn't finish, and continued: "The most important thing is that your method can't achieve the goal we want. Our goal is to prevent those aristocratic families from annexing the land. Your method just makes them spend a little more money. , To put it bluntly, it’s just uncomfortable, and it’s useless at all. It even helped others speed up the speed of annexing land.”

Yes, once the emperor participated in raising the price, the common people sold it even more happily.

Hey, hey, your purpose is to prevent the people from selling their land!
Therefore, Wei Zheng's idea is a bad idea, and there is nothing wrong with it.

gah...

Wei Zheng was dumbfounded, and Changsun Wuji and the others were also dumbfounded.

This is a feasible method that they discussed for several days.After being analyzed in this way, it was discovered that it was such rubbish.

Wei Zheng is not convinced!Said: "Well, this method won't work, then we will use the second method. Let His Majesty issue an edict to restrict the use of its land."

In other words, you can buy land, but your land can only be used to grow food, and other things cannot be grown.

In this way, wouldn't the problem of food shortage be solved?

Li Ke said: "Another bad idea, Second Junior Brother, take him away."

Finally it was my turn to pretend.

Li You stood up with his hands behind his back and said: "This is really a bad idea. You don't want to limit it, he can grow other things. If you limit people to grow food, will Datang have food? People can't grow enough Well, is it okay to harvest less or even no harvest? The land is in the hands of others, so how much grain will be produced is not controlled by them?
Take a step back and say, even if people have a bumper harvest every year, so what, does this have anything to do with you?The food is in the hands of others, how can they fry it?Does this solve any problem?This can only make those aristocratic families earn more money.The most important thing is, has your idea solved the problem of merging land?Bad ideas come up every day. "

Not even that idea?

The officials present were all convinced. When they discussed it, why couldn't they see so many problems?

Li You enjoyed everyone's admiring gazes on him very much, and retreated to his position very proudly.

Wei Zheng would never give in to these young people, he said: "The analysis is very good, what if we limit the price of the land? For example, let the emperor issue an imperial decree to limit the price of the land to ten times.

In this way, those common people see that they have no money to make, and they will not be able to buy the land back when they sell it. Don't they just farm the land with peace of mind and no longer want to make money by buying and selling land? "

Li Tai said: "Is it my turn, big brother?"

Li Ke nodded, and said, "Okay, you go up and take him."

As soon as Wei Zheng heard this sentence, he felt out of breath.In fact, he also knew that there were some loopholes in his ideas, but he didn't expect that there would be so many loopholes.

Li Tai nodded, walked out with his hands behind his back as before, and said, "Duke Zheng, what is the difference between your idea and the ban on buying and selling land? Do you want those people to call my father a fool? You want to go home on the way home. Was it thrown by those common people?

The most important thing is, even if you can't buy it back.Ten times the price, the common people will also sell it, and this will not stop those aristocratic families from annexing the land.This idea will only make those people scold you for the idea. "

That's right, without this bad idea, if someone sells the land, they might still be able to buy it back.With this bad idea.After selling, they can no longer have money to buy it back.Isn't this looking for scolding?
Wei Zheng stopped cooking immediately, he really didn't dare to argue with these princes anymore, he had no choice but to argue!
Li Shimin, who was sitting in a high position, was overjoyed in his heart.

Take a look, take a good look, this is my son.

The most important thing is that if my four sons stand up in this posture, there must be a way to solve this time.

At this moment, he no longer has to worry, he just needs to sit there and watch the play.

Seeing that Wei Zheng stopped talking, Changsun Wuji looked around and saw that no one had any intention of speaking.

He stood up helplessly and said, "You say, is it okay to collect taxes? As long as we increase the tax on land sales, and collect heavy taxes, can it prevent these aristocratic families from annexing more land?"

"Finally there is a smart person who has a point."

Li Chengqian stood up and said.

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, he immediately felt that his life had reached its peak.

Did you see it, did you see it?Wei Zheng came up with three ideas, and was beaten to death by others. As soon as my eldest grandson Wuji came out, he was OK immediately.

Who knows, the next moment.Li Chengqian said: "However, it's also a bad idea."

gah...

Changsun Wuji's face darkened immediately.

Hey, hey, I'm your uncle, is it really okay for you to tease me like this?Don't you know how to save some face for your uncle?

Everyone also thought it was funny, but they were all masters of ninjutsu, so they held back their laughter.

"Hey, Chengqian, what do you mean? You're talking about the point, and it's a bad idea. Aren't you contradicting yourself?"

Li Chengqian said: "No way, Uncle, this is really a bad idea! Think about it, people pay ten times the price, and still care about your heavy tax? How much tax can you charge? [-]%? [-]%? Or [-]%?
It is useless, the wool comes from the sheep.This method also cannot prevent others from annexing land.And it will attract scolding from all the people, saying that my father is taking advantage of money.Do you think this is a bad idea? "
