Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 32 Exclusive Mission
At this time, Cui Tao was giving lectures in a large tent in Moli Army's barracks.

Holding a booklet, he said on the podium: "What everyone has is the field book of the Tang Dynasty. This booklet records the owners of all the fields in Guazhou, the area and location of the fields of each household."

"Our task is to check with this booklet to see if the head of household on the account book is the same as the head of household registered in the booklet."

Cui Tao continued: "According to the "Law of the Tang Dynasty", the Yongye land and granted land allocated to each household cannot be bought and sold casually. Only in special circumstances of debt or bankruptcy can the land be sold."

"These are also the focus of our verification, whether the procedures for those big households buying common people's land are legal."

There were a hundred players sitting in the audience, they were listening intently, and some were still taking notes.

Cui Tao took out another ding book and said: "This thing is called a ding book. The ding is an adult male over the age of 16. According to Tang law, each household pays poll tax according to the number of ding."

"The appearance characteristics of the males in each household are recorded in the small book. The so-called Dasuo Appearance Review is to check the situation of the males in each household according to the description in the small book."

"The men who went to war and died need to be written off in time, while the big households will hide their mouths, so as to avoid the imperial court's mediocrity."

"This is also the focus of our verification. Now let me demonstrate how to check the accounts."

Li Yan looked at the players who were studying hard with satisfaction. This time, for the sake of Da Suo's appearance, Li Yan also spent "blood money" and rewarded a lot of contribution points.

Those old players who were in the first test may not look down on this reward, but those players who have just entered the game in the third test have signed up to participate in the big survey.

Now Li Yan also understands why it is so difficult for the past dynasties to solve the land annexation problem in the middle and late stages.

All the officials in Guazhou are in the hands of these rich and powerful families. If they are asked to count the acres, it is impossible to find out the problem.

Only the emperor who founded the country can have enough loyal manpower to count the fields and population.

This is why only Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty completed the Dasuo Maangyue in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and none of the subsequent emperors succeeded.

In addition to the problem of manpower, the intertwined relationship between the localities, even if the officials from the neighboring prefectures and counties are mobilized, they will collude with the local tyrants, and in the end, they will clear up the land properly, but it will become an evil law that harms the people. .

This is why the reforms in the middle and late dynasties of the past dynasties were difficult to succeed, and even if they succeeded, they would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

The two-tax law in the middle of the Tang Dynasty and the one-whip law in the middle and late Ming Dynasty solved the financial problems of the imperial court. They only increased the ability of the imperial court to collect taxes, but they did not solve the problem of mergers.

Therefore, although these reforms can continue the national destiny, they cannot change the declining fate of the empire.

But Li Yan is different!He has players!
These players can write and count, and their professional level is much higher than that of ordinary officials!

As long as they are well trained, nothing is a problem for them!
And the interests of the players are one with Li Yan, they will never be corrupted by the local tyrants, what they pursue is the contribution points issued by Li Yan!
With these players in hand, why not solve the land problem in Guazhou!

Li Yan is full of confidence. After the training is over, he can give the Guazhou local tycoons a "surprise"!

"That's all for today's class. Tomorrow is the Martial Arts Tournament. Let's take a day off. After the competition is over, we will continue with class!"

Cui Tao looked at the hourglass for timing and said to everyone.

The barracks dispersed, and the new players couldn't wait to explore this novel "game world".

After Cui Tao finished teaching the new players, he immediately met Zhou Hao who rushed over.

Like Cui Tao, Zhou Hao was the best among the first batch of players.

Through his "solid" legal ability, he quickly became the confidant of the prefect Zhang Mian.

Now he is the team leader of the governor of the governor's office, responsible for the judicial work of the entire Guazhou.Interrogating the prisoners and drafting the verdict was all left to Zhou Hao by Zhang Mian.

And Cui Tao's position is the recorder of the governor's mansion, which is a secretary-type position, and he can be regarded as the private minister of the prefect.

Although the recorder is not popular, it can assist the prefect in handling government affairs. For example, Cui Tao, a recorder who is trusted by Zhang Mian, has powers no less than that of the heads of various squads.

It's just that Cui Tao and Zhou Hao don't have many interactions. Zhou Hao is keen on trial cases to gain experience, so he simply plays this game as a detective reasoning game, which can be said to be a joy to play.

Cui Tao, on the other hand, mainly promotes the plot and is a proper plot party. He hangs around Li Yan and Zhang Mian every day, trying to discover some deeper inside stories about the "game".

Zhou Hao found Cui Tao, pulled him to the corner and said, "Cui Tao, I have a hidden mission here, can you help me with it?"

As soon as Cui Tao heard that it was a hidden mission, he immediately became interested, and he immediately said: "Hurry up, share the mission with me."

Zhou Hao shook his head and said, "It cannot be shared, this is an exclusive task."

Cui Tao's eyes lit up when he heard the exclusive mission. As a mission party, he naturally knew the exclusive mission.

Currently on the forum, there are players posting their own exclusive missions one after another.

For example, Cui Ruoyun's task of attracting talents was a certain kind of exclusive task.

Zhou Hao was able to receive the exclusive task, why couldn't he trigger the exclusive task when he wandered around the governor's mansion every day?

Cui Tao quickly asked: "What is the mission?"

Only then did Zhou Hao say: "Yesterday Hucao's team leader An Changgui found me and said he wanted to buy me a drink."

Cui Tao's eyes lit up. Among the three major families in Guazhou, the An family is the well-deserved No. [-] family.

An Changgui suddenly found Zhou Hao to drink, there must be something tricky about it.

Zhou Hao continued: "Later, I went to the banquet. I didn't expect that An Changgui wanted to corrupt me! I, Zhou Hao, am loyal to King Jianning. What kind of an An Changgui is he!"

Cui Tao sighed in his heart, it's not that An Changgui can't give it. For players, money is meaningless in the game, only contribution points are the most useful.

"It turns out that An Changgui wanted me to be an undercover agent! Find out about King Jianning's movements!"

Cui Tao nodded. Now that Guazhou is going to ask for its appearance, these rich and powerful families naturally depend on King Jianning's movements.

Zhou Hao continued: "After the banquet, I immediately went to the prince and told about An Changgui's wooing me, and then I received this exclusive mission."

Cui Tao couldn't help asking, "What mission?"

"Infernal Affairs! King Jianning asked me to infiltrate An Changgui and the others to find out what's going on with these local giants!"

Cui Tao kept lying: "Why can't I receive such a task?"

Zhou Hao glanced at him and said, "Everyone in Guazhou knows that you are King Jianning's running dog. If An Changgui doesn't open his eyes, he won't win you over."

"Who are you calling a lackey!"

"Stop joking, help me figure out how to do this mission? I'm so worried! I'm a law student, so why do I have to work as an undercover agent!"
