Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 520 Samana
"After this incident, the legacy of Wei has been cleared away, and the remaining people are of no concern. From now on, the beams will be clean, but this is the end. This time, I am trapped by public opinion, and I have to kneel with everyone, and hope that your Majesty will forgive me. "

If Chang Wei wanted to stop it, he would have come forward long before the incident happened. There was no need to wait until now.

Li Yue still had this tacit understanding, "What is your fault? You are serious."

Yue Ji, who was witnessing everything from the side, had her eyes changing several times, sometimes surprised, sometimes relieved.

Li Yue wanted her to see what was under the water.

"I still have some unrequited requests, and I hope your majesty will grant them." Chang Wei handed over his hand.

"Please tell me, sir."

"The culprit of the rebellion, Ran Zhiye, has been eliminated. The other Ran clan members do not know about it, and they are all playboys. They are unlikely to become great officials. I hope your majesty will forgive him. On the one hand, it will show your majesty's magnanimity, and on the other hand, it will block the mouth of Youyou in the country. , so that the generals feel at ease."

After all, Chang Wei had been with Ran Min for a few years, and they could be regarded as a monarch-minister friendship.

Ran Min only focused on killing people and setting fires all his life, and the few sons he gave birth to were really unflattering.

Ran Zhi is like this, and the other people are not capable, so they pose little threat to Daliang.

In any case, Ran Min still made contributions to China. If it weren't for him raising the butcher knife and Li Yue following behind, the world would be a different place.

After thinking about it again and again, Li Yue nodded, "Retire yourself to a commoner and fend for yourself."

Dong Run, Jiang Qian and others were wiped out, and the Ran family had no foundation in Daliang. Li Yue also needed to build an archway to show his kindness and righteousness.

The Sima family also knew how to treat the Cao family well and did not kill them all.

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Feng shui has taken turns. Who knows where the old Li family will be in a hundred years?

It is better to accumulate some virtue for the descendants.

Yue Ji's expression softened a lot.

Chang Wei also looked relieved, "The rebellions in Qizhou and Taizhou are insignificant. Jiangdong will never dare to send troops. There will be good news in the spring of next year."

"I hope Jiangdong can send troops to respond to them."

As long as Jiangdong dared to go north, Li Yue would dare to cross the Yangtze River.

The current situation in the world is that if the two kingdoms of Qin and Jin can destroy one country at will, the three kingdoms will no longer exist.

Seventy-eight percent of China's population is concentrated in the east.

Historically, this pattern continued into the Northern Qi Dynasty. If it weren't for the Gao family that had a lot of mental illness and rabies patients, it would be difficult for the west to have a chance.

Similarly, the Qin State was able to wipe out the six kingdoms, not because Guandong could not do it, but because Guandong was divided into six countries. Even so, it took the efforts of the sixth King of Qin to finally succeed.

When Chu and Han fought, Xiang Yu was also in disarray and was exhausted by a bunch of rebels.

In Li Yue's view, using Guanzhong to suppress Guandong was just an accident of history.

Now Di Qin is facing an integrated Guandong.

After chatting about the general situation of the world for a while, Chang Wei bowed his hands and left, and Yue Ji also went.

The second year of Zhengxing passed by in a faint smell of blood, and the third year of Zhengxing came upon us.

The rebellion in Qizhou had no popular base to begin with. Cui Jin summoned [-] black cloud elites from Lukou, plus more than [-] suppressing troops, and easily wiped out the rebellion in less than two months.

Cui Jin could not defeat such ruthless men as Murong Ke and Murong Chui, but when he was able to deal with them, He Song killed everyone in his family. When he came to Yecheng, more than [-] of his tribe were beheaded.

Before Cui Jin led his troops south, Fan Wen, the governor of Taizhou, took his family and hundreds of troops to Jiangdong.

From beginning to end, Jiangdong did not dare to respond.

According to convention, people from the north and Nantou usually stop here.

But Li Yue would never let these traitors go.After the fall of Ran Wei, Daliang continued to reuse them, with high officials and generous salaries without any debt, but they repaid them with weapons.

If they don't kill them all, they won't be able to deter others and flee to the ends of the earth. Li Yue will also find them out. Jiangdong is not a place outside the law.

There is no need to be polite to Jiangdong, Li Yue issued a stern edict ordering Jiankang to pay his respects.

Going to a higher country requires having the domineering spirit of a higher country.

The superior country does not rely on strength to bully the weak, so why should the lower country take advantage of it?

The edict was delivered, but Jiangdong still did not move.

Only Huan Wen made a memorial and interceded for Fan Wen, willing to exchange one thousand taels of gold and five thousand cloth and brocade for his life, and also gave a dozen slender-waisted beauties from the south of the Yangtze River as gifts.

Li Yue was extremely depressed. Fu Jian always gave away beautiful women, and now Huan Wen also gave away beautiful women. Could it be that in their minds, Emperor Liang was a lustful and debauched person?

Li Yue thought that he was not too promiscuous. Although it was growing every year, there were only [-] people in the harem now, and Li Yue also wanted to expand the branches of the old Li family...

Follow the example of Fu Hong, Murong Xin, and Murong Chui and have more successful children.

Sima Yan's harem numbered tens of thousands of people, and Shihu's harem numbered more than [-] female officials back then...

"You want to bribe me with 1000 taels of gold and [-] pieces of cloth? No, Jiangdong must be handed over before spring plowing in April, otherwise I will come and drink from the Yangtze River!"

This matter is by no means a simple case of Fan Wen, but a further attack on the Jin Dynasty's orthodoxy. Handing people over is tantamount to giving up the hearts of the Northern Kingdom. Who will dare to defect to Jiangdong in the future?

To seize the grassland is to seize, and to seize Jiangdong is also to seize.

Huan Wen refused to make friends, and Li Yue would never give up.

Times have changed. Jiangdong, who had just experienced a major defeat and was severely weakened, would never dare to provoke Liang Guo and give Li Yue an excuse to attack.

"Take the order!" Lu Qing went down to draw up the edict.

Although his talents are not as good as those of Cui Hong and Liu Ying, he is diligent and can be considered a useful person.

After the cavalry who "hunted" the grassland returned to the city, Li Yue rewarded them with one-third of the cattle, sheep, money, and silk, and also ordered them to rest, reunite with their families, and prepare for spring plowing.

After everyone around him was almost gone, Yang Lue took out a document.

The matter of cleaning up Ran Wei's remnants has long come to an end. In the past two months, people from the school affairs office have been secretly investigating the monks.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

The land, monks, and manors on the document far exceeded Li Yue's expectations.

In the four Buddhist temples in Yecheng alone, there are more than 21 monks, and as many as [-] acres of farmland are hidden in the names of believers.

More than 3000 monks may not seem like many, but they are just the registered monks in the Buddhist temple. There are also believers below them, and there are also monks and priests under them. The population involved is as high as [-].

It’s just that some people have land, the key is that they are extremely rich.

What the ascetics advocate is "worshiping the Buddha". Since it is worship, we must show sincerity, from noble families to well-off families, to common people, young and old.

That's all, it's just what you and I wish.

However, many of the shops in good locations in big cities such as Yecheng, Luoyang, Xuchang, Guanggu, Shouchun, etc. are owned by Samanas...

That's all. After all, people are good at business and it's their turn to make a fortune.

But they secretly issued usury loans called "Sengdi Su", which shocked Li Yue.

The so-called sengdisu means lending money and food to the people to tide over the difficulties under the guise of providing relief to the victims. However, after the fact, the interest is compounded and the donkey is rolling, often having to pay back ten times the interest...
