Chapter 260

Li Er didn't speak. After all, the lands of the ministers were awarded by him, and there was no reason to return what was given away.

The ministers below were kneeling and sitting in place without any intention of speaking.

After all, this land is the foundation of the ministers. Not only can they ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, but it is also one of the main sources of income for the ministers.

Immediately, Cheng Yaojin's eyes turned, and he quickly pushed Yu Chigong and gave him a look.

Yu Chigong immediately understood, and stood up to face Li Er. He bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty! The minister's land is just outside the city of Chang'an, but there are few people in the minister's house and no one cultivates such fertile land. Isn’t it a waste! It’s better to give it to His Royal Highness! It will benefit the people of my Tang Dynasty!!”

This seems to be a huge loss, but Yu Chigong knew in his heart that there would be no such good opportunities on weekdays. After all, for His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince would not look down on him at all if he gave money. .
The icing on the cake is far worse than giving charcoal in the snow. Now being able to get online with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is simply beneficial and harmless. The gain will be more than the loss, and it can also benefit future generations. Why not do it.

Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction to Yuchi Gong, but said nothing.

Cheng Yaojin gave a strange laugh, and quickly stood up and said, "Hahaha! I would like to report to your majesty, the cattle in the old minister's house, those who died for love, those who committed suicide, if there are no cattle in the next spring, the cultivated land in the old minister's house Wouldn't it be ruined too!"

"So the arable land of the old minister's family is also voluntarily given to His Highness the Crown Prince!!"

Li Er and all civil and military officials were speechless when they heard Cheng Yaojin's words. Does this old guy think they are all fools? !

Whose farm cattle will die in love?Whose cattle will commit suicide! ?
It's nothing more than this old man stealing farm cattle, but he gave the reason so fresh and refined.

After Li Chengqian heard this, he smiled faintly. This old man is famous for eating farm cattle; the ministers are not willing to entangle with this old man at all because of his title of devil king.

What's more, this old man is the Duke of Tang Dynasty, and he has won the favor of His Majesty, and he is also a veteran who fought with His Majesty in the early years.Who would dare to mess with such a high-ranking old man.

The eldest grandson Wuji also hurriedly stood up, he was the uncle of His Royal Highness, how could he be behind at this time.

Then he bowed to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty! All the men in the old minister's family are mining iron ore, and there are no extra people to take care of the family's fields!"

"So the old minister petitioned to give all the fields in the family to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Du Ruhui also hurriedly stood up. After all, his son Du He used to belong to the Crown Prince. Now that His Royal Highness gained power not only for himself, even for his own boy, he should give the land of his family to His Royal Highness.

Then he bowed to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty! The old minister is old and weak, and the fields at home are also neglected. Therefore, the old minister petitions to donate the land at home to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!!"

Li Er's face turned black, and when I asked you to collect donations on weekdays, all of you cried poorly with me. When the national treasury was empty, these ministers actually asked me for salary intentionally or unintentionally.

Now, this Nizi just mentioned it a little bit, and the ministers are scrambling to donate all the land in their family to this Nizi.

This is land!The foundation of all the ministers was given to this rebellious son respectfully, and all of them were given away, and nothing was kept.

This Nizi didn't even ask these ministers for it, and these ministers gave the land to this Nizi, and the reasons for giving the land were not repeated.

Fang Xuanling, Su Quan and other ministers found an excuse and directly gave the land of their family to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Chengqian looked at these ministers indifferently, and then said indifferently: "There are still some important positions in the army such as school captains, commanders, and deputy generals in the army!!"

When Li Chengqian said this, he deliberately paused. For smart people, there is no need to say too much, they all know it in their hearts.

There was a calm smile on his face, because that's what they needed.

However, even if these ministers donated all the land in their hands, only more than half of the land in Chang'an City was donated.

The remaining half is in the hands of the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family and the crown prince were at odds with each other, so how could they dedicate their family land, not to mention, they had been supporting Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun.

How could it be possible to dedicate the land of one's own family to encourage the prince's strength.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian sneered faintly, and let these fertile fields be kept in the hands of the aristocratic families for a while, and then, when his caravan completely defeated these aristocratic families.

These aristocratic families can't help but sell their own land.

At that time, as long as Li Chengqian gives an order, no one will dare to buy the land of these aristocratic families, and when the members of the aristocratic families are forced to farm the land.

Then this great family will cease to exist.

Li Er said with a displeased face: "Huh! Now the land in Chang'an City is enough! How can I get the land in the south!?"

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "When the newly promoted captain, commander, deputy general and others in the Erchen army are in place, they will naturally send troops to the south! Take back all the land of my Great Tang!"

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the ministers who had dedicated their land were very happy. They thought there would be no war at first, but they didn't expect to go out so soon.

In this way, their purpose is achieved.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian was thinking that the land in the south was always in the hands of the vassal state. If the generals could not be killed, the Tang Dynasty would never be able to unify the land of China.

When he took the land in the south, he opened a prince academy there to monopolize the thoughts of these people.And open shops all over every inch of land in the south.

At that time, it will be possible to consolidate the status of the imperial court ideologically and directly monopolize their lifeline economically.

Just imagine, if someone wants to start a riot, they can directly cut off the supply of shops in this area, so that they can not spend money even if they have money.

As long as the economy of the rioting area is paralyzed, it means that the area will be caught in a flow of refugees.

At that time, when troops are sent to suppress the riots, the soldiers and civilians will be able to suppress the riots wholeheartedly.

Li Er was lost in thought. Is this Nizi trying to win over himself?But it is not enough to let the descendants of the ministers go to war.After all, the battlefield is unpredictable, in case the heirs of the ministers die on the battlefield,,,,,,,,
