Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 159
Since the last conflict in Liulin, Liulinli and Donghou's Mansion have completely feuded.

After the Dong family was cheated by Cui Tao in a lawsuit at the Governor's Mansion, the Dong family sent servants to guard Liulin and sealed off Liulin.

But Zeng Mu was not in a hurry. On the one hand, he continued to develop, and on the other hand, he joined forces with the remaining players to write a letter to the Governor's Mansion. This time, the earthquake caused in Gaochang City was worse than the last time Dong Hou's family escaped slaves. The lawsuit earthquake is even bigger.

This letter is not to discuss the ownership of Liulin, but to suggest to the governor's office to take back the abandoned land in the hands of each family.

According to the land granting system of the Tang Dynasty, every male was born with a land grant, and when a male died, the land grant would be taken back.

In addition to granting land, there is also Yongye Tian, ​​which is rewarded by the government as an official.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, after Dong Hou returned to the Tang Dynasty, the governor's office granted them a lot of land.Subsequently, these old nobles obtained more land through mergers and robberies.

However, whether it is granted land or permanent land, the Tang government still has a decree on recycling, that is, barren land needs to be taken back.

In the agricultural era, land was the most important means of production, and letting the land go to waste was naturally unbearable for any court. It is also a matter of course to take back the wasteland that you do not cultivate and hand it over to others for development.

The Governor's Mansion received letters from these village elders, and immediately sent a working group to approve the abandoned fields.

And this time, the governor's office also came prepared, and the action can be said to be quite fast.

In the report submitted by the working group, not only those abandoned lands are included, but also uncultivated forests such as willow forests are included.

In other words, the willow forest in front of the willow forest is also recognized as barren land, which belongs to the land that will be taken back by the government.

Now Dong Zhong was furious, this willow forest was the hunting ground of the Dong family for generations, this is not the land granted by the imperial court, the governor's office actually wants to play hooligans to take it back!

Not only the willow forest of the Dong family, but also many mines, forests, and pastures under the name of the old nobles must be taken back in the name of barren land.

But want to protest?Except for a few old noble families who were also about to be taken back to the "wasteland", the other landlords in Gaochang City watched with cold eyes.

The Dong family, a group of old aristocrats, occupied the land and did not cultivate it. They surrounded and occupied the ownerless mountains and forests everywhere, and they had long been disgusted by the landlords.

This time, the governor's office was clearly trying to suppress them, but the actions of the governor's office were really clever. Whether it was slaves or encroaching on the mountains and forests, these were the things that the old nobles of Gaochang were not used to by Gaochang city.

But this time it involved land, which touched the lifeblood of the old nobles in Gaochang. Dong Zhong connected in series and finally brought the lawsuit to Li Xiuzhang, the governor of Xizhou.

When encountering such a thing, Li Xiuzhang couldn't pretend to be dead no matter how slippery he was, so he summoned the officials of the governor's office to discuss the lawsuit.

Li Xiuzhang, who was meditating at home, put on the crimson official robe again and sat on the main seat of the governor's mansion.

His left hand is Cui Tao, the overlord Sima sent by King Jianning, and all the governors in the governor's mansion were replaced by Cui Tao with "his own people". Don't mind saying:

"You are all highly valued talents by His Highness. Originally, I, a foolish old fellow, should sit at home, but Gaochang City is not peaceful recently, and someone wants to lift this statue of me out again. There is really no way."

Cui Tao crossed his hands as a gift, and Li Xiuzhang was indeed an old fox. At the beginning, this sentence meant that he didn't want to show up, but the old nobles had already made a mess, and he couldn't wait to come out and clean up the mess.

This sentence showed Li Xiuzhang's unwillingness to step into the muddy water, but it also showed that the situation in Gaochang City was tense now, and he had no choice but to come forward.

Cui Tao said: "It is the safest thing to have Lord Inspector preside over the overall situation."

Li Xiuzhang nodded slightly and said: "I know these big families in the city. Although they don't have the title of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong also issued an order to wait for the title of Gaochang Kingdom to decrease. Therefore, people in Gaochang City People call the Dong family the Donghou Mansion."

These old aristocrats of Gaochang Kingdom did not contribute to the Tang Dynasty, but because of the decree of Emperor Taizong back then, they were allowed to enjoy the treatment of nobles.

But over time, the head of the Dong family really called himself Marquis Dong.

Li Xiuzhang said this to Cui Tao, these old nobles are not real nobles, they have no titles.

Since there is no title, they occupy the forest, pasture and mine, which is actually against the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy. Li Xiuzhang's two words can be regarded as a bottom line, and legally rejected the privileges of the old nobles of the Dong family.

Li Xiuzhang continued: "However, Xizhou has not been peaceful these years. The Governor's Mansion allowed them to organize their own regiments to protect their family property. These families have raised a lot of domestic slaves to train day and night. I am also worried that Gaochang will cause chaos because of this."

Cui Tao was also a little hesitant. Most of the players were naturally afraid of chaos, wishing to kill all these powerful households in the city.

But the players are only in their early [-]s, if they clean up all the big households in every city they go to, let alone compete for the world, it will be difficult to unify Longyou.

Now that Li Xiuzhang already understood the threat of these former aristocratic private soldiers, Cui Tao asked directly: "Master Inspector is old-fashioned in seeking the country and is a role model for my generation. I don't know what good method the Inspector can do?"

Li Xiuzhang nodded and said, "My method is also simple, convincing people with reason."

"Convincing people with reason?"

Li Xiuzhang nodded and said, "Whether it's buying slaves or counting the barren land this time, the Governor's Mansion is actually in charge. That's because our Governor's Mansion is in charge, so other big families didn't follow suit."

Cui Tao nodded. The players were discussing the sausage tactics of soft knives, gradually eroding the power of these old nobles.

Originally, according to Cui Tao's plan, it was to further develop the industries in each ri, attract slaves from the old nobles, and gradually disintegrate the population controlled by these old nobles.

But the development of things, there will always be various changes. The joint letter written by Zeng Mu and other players gave Cui Tao another opportunity.

But Cui Tao did not expect that this action to deprive the old nobles of the "wasteland" would cause such a big resistance.

Cui Tao sincerely asked Li Xiuzhang for advice: "Please enlighten me, Lord Inspector."

Li Xiuzhang said: "As long as the 'reason' is firmly held, these big families will not be able to turn the tide."

"Then how do you take advantage of it?"

Li Xiuzhang chanted the Buddha's name and said: "The people of Gaochang City worship Buddha, and the scriptures are often debated in the city. This time, the governor's mansion took back the wasteland. These families don't understand, so why not follow the example of the debate and argue with them, whether these lands should be Take it back?"

Cui Tao's eyes lit up, isn't this the hearing?

　I'm sorting out the plot today, only two updates, sorry
