Li Er, three years after three years, I have been enthroned

Chapter 69: Land equalization system restricts the development of aristocratic families! (Please recommend and read more)
"Your Majesty, Yang Zhao, would like to see you."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Yang Zhao walked to the front of the main hall and said.

"Enter."

Yang Guang's voice came from inside.

After receiving permission, Yang Zhao opened the door and walked in.

When entering, Yang Guang did not deal with the memorial, but looked at Yang Zhao with a half-smile.

That look was so unpredictable that Yang Zhao repeatedly wondered if there was something on his face.
"See Your Majesty."

Yang Zhao walked to the center of the hall, bowed and saluted with his hands in hand.

"No courtesy, sit down."

Yang Guang said with a smile.

After saying that, he personally threw the futon over.

The position of the futon was not far from Yang Guang, so the two of them were as if they were sitting side by side.

Yang Zhao didn't understand what Yang Guang was thinking, but he still took the futon farther away and placed it on the ground lower than Yang Guang.

Only in this way can we observe the etiquette between the king and his ministers.

"You kid, are you being cautious?"

Yang Guang was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

"Your Majesty, this is the way a king and his ministers should get along."

Yang Zhao said quickly.

If the relationship with the emperor is not good, most people really don't dare to say this.

"How about this trip back to your hometown?"

Yang Guang asked casually.

"I implore you, Your Majesty, to punish me."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Zhao shouted loudly, bowed and cupped his hands.

"What's your fault?"

Yang Guang asked lightly, half-smiling after hearing this.

"The minister committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and did not return to his hometown, but went for a trip."

Yang Zhao said truthfully.

Originally, Yang Guang was still a little angry, but Yang Zhao tricked him into going to Licheng.

Now that Yang Zhao admitted his mistake so quickly and confessed as soon as he came back, he looked much better.

"Tell me, what did you do in Licheng?"

Yang Guang continued to ask.

"I went to Licheng and helped the patron king solve a case. I stayed in Licheng for some time and conquered many capable people."

Yang Zhao quickly said with a smile.

"A capable person?"

Yang Guang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"From my perspective, it's just a group of green forests, right?"

Yang Guang pretended to be displeased.

"Your Majesty, there is a saying that a hero does not care where he comes from, not to mention princes and generals who have the right to be with each other?"

Yang Zhao quickly replied.

"You mean, I don't understand this as well as you do?"

Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and asked slowly.

"I don't dare. Your Majesty is well versed in poetry and art of war. He is a genius through the ages!"

Yang Zhao shouted.

This flattery was slapped on forcefully, causing Yang Guang's face to be slapped hard.

"Okay, you committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and should be punished."

Yang Guang said seriously.

"The minister is punished!"

Yang Zhao shouted again.

In fact, Yang Zhao had already thought about it. He made a big fuss when he met Yang Lin in Dengzhou. The matter of going to Dengzhou could not be hidden.

So it would be better to just tell the truth as soon as we come back.

Based on his relationship with the emperor, he was beaten with a rod even if he held his head high.

But could a mere blow with a stick break his body?

You know, Yang Zhao is rough-skinned and thick-bodied, but he has inherited Xiang Yu's legacy.

A punishment that would kill an ordinary person with a ten-level stick is like tickling him.

However, Yang Zhao still miscalculated one thing. He was a great hero, so how could Yang Guang be willing to punish him?

"I will punish you and help me deal with these memorials. They must be handled beautifully and perfectly."

Yang Guang pointed to the memorial on the desk beside him.

"what?"

Hearing this, Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment.

"Don't want to accept the punishment?"

Yang Guang frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his brows.

"No." Yang Zhao accepted the order, quickly walked to the desk, sat down, and began to look through the memorials.

At the same time, Yang Zhao was thinking, why did the emperor suddenly ask him to handle the memorial?

Logically speaking, such an honor can only be given to a prince, otherwise he is an acting minister.

He is nothing more than a Marquis of Zhaowu and a general, so he can be regarded as a military attache.

A military attache to help review the memorial?

"Your Majesty, are you not deliberately looking for trouble to punish me?"

Yang Zhao thought to himself.

But in the end, he opened the memorial and read it.

The content of the memorial report was basically that there was a shortage of food and grass in various places, and the harvest this year had declined.

The main reason for this is that Yang Guang's expedition consumed too much people's power.

The occurrence of these situations is equivalent to a chain reaction.

The key is that these things are still relatively urgent, after all, it is winter now.

If there is insufficient food, many people will not be able to survive the cold winter.

When public dissatisfaction intensifies, it will only make the rebels more arrogant.

"Your Majesty, these matters are more difficult."

After reading it, Yang Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Yang Guang glanced at Yang Zhao.

"Zhao'er is just a general, or even a warrior, after all. Am I asking too much of him?"

Yang Guang smiled bitterly in his heart.

It is not easy for Yang Zhao to achieve what he has achieved today.

Isn't it a fairy tale to let him be talented in handling political affairs?

Yang Guang thought about it and let Yang Zhao leave as a penalty, while he was thinking of ways to deal with these things.

"But it's not impossible to handle."

The next second, Yang Zhao spoke again.

Yang Guang swallowed his words before he could say them.

"Yang Zhao, the nature of bullying the king for the first time and bullying the king for the second time are different. Think carefully before answering."

Yang Guang said solemnly.

This time, he was serious.

It can be seen that things on the memorial are not child's play, and Yang Guang can't turn a blind eye to it.

"I am sure."

Yang Zhao replied.

The difficult problem in the memorial happened to be the same as the god-level choice he chose.

Before, Yang Zhao was still worried about finding an opportunity to mention this matter to Yang Guang, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come now.

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to solve these problems, but it depends on whether you want to solve them completely, or just solve the urgent needs first."

Yang Zhaorao said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Yang Guang became interested. Yang Zhao didn't seem to pretend to understand, but really knew something.

"Tell me first, where is the root of this problem?"

Yang Guang asked.

"The root of this problem lies in the equalization of land."

Yang Zhao spoke bluntly.

"what?"

Yang Guang frowned.

The equalization of land is the foundation of the country.

It has been set since the beginning of the late emperor, and the effect is very good, and there are not even any drawbacks.

Now that Yang Zhao is saying that there are problems with the land equalization system, how can Yang Guang be happy?

Yang Zhao also knew that Yang Guang's trust in the equal land system was quite sufficient.

Yang Guang still doesn't know what kind of disaster the land equalization system will cause.

"Your Majesty, the equal land system distributes good land from top to bottom, and the aristocratic families and officials still have public land, right?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"Yes."

Yang Guang answered truthfully.

"So most of the fields are still in the hands of the high officials in the court, and they can let the people cultivate them to obtain food."

Yang Zhao continued to speak.

"Ah."

Yang Guang nodded slightly.

"The common people are also allocated fields. The land equalization system exists to this day, allowing the common people to cultivate more fields, and aristocratic families cannot monopolize large amounts of land."

He added a sentence, specifically explaining that the land equalization system can restrict aristocratic families.
