Ji Tang

Chapter 610 The Xuanzhou family compromises
The opening of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road means the opening of a road to wealth, which is something that the Ji family cannot afford.

Even if there is no use uniting the major families, the emperor cannot abandon such an important road and leave it alone, and its significance goes beyond that.

Therefore, he can only get more bonuses in the early stage of controlling the ancient road. If he is really greedy, he doesn't know how he will die by then.

During this period, with the active cooperation of the Zhu family, things in Xuanzhou were on the right track. After seeing the situation clearly, many aristocratic families had to give up the idea of ​​sitting back and enjoy the benefits, and had to cooperate according to Ji Song's ideas.

Of course, there are always those who cannot see the situation clearly, but in the face of the general trend, can they still make a difference?
Ji Song sneered. Do you really think this prince is easy to talk to?
He did not hesitate at all towards these people, and within a short period of time, he suppressed them in all aspects, both in official circles and in business.

Now that he has reached his position, it is impossible to stand up and shout to kill like before. There are still rules that should be followed.

But even so, it's too easy to cause trouble.

No one has a clean foundation to reach their current position. If they reveal their thoughts a little, there will naturally be people to deal with them.

Even though Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baolin and others are all disciples of generals, do you think they don't understand this?
Having been around in Chang'an for so long and yet not being dealt with by anyone, this speaks for itself.

Which person can be trained as a successor by the family, which one is easier?

Therefore, within a short period of time, these people were put into submission, and representatives had to be sent to make peace with Ji Song.

After waiting for a few days, Ji Song finally received them.

They talked for a whole day from morning to night. No one knew what they said, but starting from the second day, these people all started to move.

Only then did Ji Song realize that he had underestimated them.

10 people, even in small Xuanzhou, have registered residence in the county government.

This is one-fifth of the population of Xuanzhou, and it was added out of thin air. This is probably not all.

This was what he had negotiated with everyone, using the population in exchange for benefits, but he didn't expect these people to be so crazy and hide so many people.

"Brother Song, this time is really an eye-opener for me."

"10 people, a whole 10 people!"

"From now on, if anyone dares to say that there are few people in the Tang Dynasty, if I don't kill him, it turns out that all of them have been hidden by these bastards. This is simply unreasonable!"

Qin Huaiyu slapped the table and cursed. He had been very busy during this period. The registration and arrangement of 10 people was not a trivial matter.

It took half a month to complete, and this was because there was no need for placement, otherwise it would take more time.

These people were all tenants of various aristocratic families. They took advantage of the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty and did everything they could.

They used various methods to hide the land that was ownerless after the war.

But with more land, more people are needed. What should we do?
In order not to pay taxes, or to pay less taxes, these people gathered all the landless people or refugees and asked them to farm land for themselves.

How can the desperate people have any other choice?If they don't sign a contract with the aristocratic family, they will have no choice but to wait for death.

Although I know that I will lose my freedom and become a slave in the future, compared to death, this is not bad.

"Since they have handed over their population, no matter what else, you are not allowed to cause trouble to them early." Ji Song warned.

"How can this work? You don't know, according to these shady men, this is only half of it." "I know!"

"Then you still"

Qin Huaiyu's face was full of confusion. Based on his understanding of Ji Song, he couldn't be worried about these people, but now
"The reason we were able to get them to hand over their people this time was because we grasped their weakness, but this only allowed them to compromise, and it wasn't even a stretch. But we have to continue to force them. Do you really think they will?" Be obedient?" Ji Song said dissatisfied.

Would you like to use your brain when doing things?
If it was so easy to handle, wouldn't someone as powerful as Li Shimin know the benefits of doing this?

Of course Li Shimin knew, but he didn't do it. It wasn't that he couldn't, but that he didn't dare!
Even though the aristocratic family has been suppressed now, and the court no longer opposes the emperor, do you think they are afraid?

Wrong, terribly wrong!

Ji Song has never underestimated the strength of the family. From the beginning of the pre-Qin Dynasty to the present, for hundreds of thousands of years, who knows how many trump cards they have?
Was Cao Cao awesome at the end of Han Dynasty?A ruthless man who would massacre a city at every turn, but didn't he choose to compromise when facing a noble family?
When Cao Pi arrived, he fully supported the aristocratic family and proposed the nine-level Zhongzheng system. Only then did he fully stand on the bright side.

At this point, what does the court mean?What is an emperor?As long as you don't like it, just change it.

The Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties have become playthings between aristocratic families, and their respective families have expanded greatly. One family is comparable to a country, and the king and the horse share the world is not just a talk!

Even during the Wu Hu period of chaos in China, the aristocratic families left behind in the Northern Kingdom did not suffer much losses, and their strength was greatly improved because they formed strongholds to protect themselves, expanded their military force, and occupied fertile land.

How do those savages from Cholera China know how to govern?It's not like handing over most of the underlying governance rights to people from aristocratic families, as long as taxes and food are paid on time.

In addition, these shameless people continued to marry high-ranking foreigners, and in the later stages they even controlled the imperial power. Who dares to look down on such a family?

"Then we let them go?" Qin Huaiyu was obviously very unwilling. He finally got the chance, but now he has to give up. How could he be willing?
Ji Song had some time to rest, took a sip of tea and said, "Why are you so anxious? Who said they would be spared?"

"then you?"

"Have you ever heard of boiling frogs in warm water? Since it can't be solved immediately, then you can only wait. Time is a good thing. It can make beauties grow old and heroes short of breath. It can also turn the sea into mulberry fields. The problems of aristocratic families cannot be solved overnight. .”

"Since their existence is reasonable, the fact that they can still exist now shows that they have their own reasons for existing. And what we have to do is slowly make this world unsuitable for them to survive."

"By that time, even if we don't do anything, they will slowly weaken. If we give them a gentle push, things will take care of themselves."

Qin Huaiyu was a little confused when he heard Ji Song's words, but he finally understood a little bit.

"Is there no better or faster way?" Qin Huaiyu said unwillingly.

"Have."

"Really? Hurry, tell me!"

"Kill them!"

"What?" Qin Huaiyu looked at Ji Song blankly. "

Ji Song said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is in power now, and the army is following your Majesty's lead. As long as we are not afraid of chaos in the world, we will plow the entire Tang Dynasty from south to north and from east to west. If anyone dares to fight back, the army will Repression is.”

Ji Song leaned down, looked at him playfully and said, "What do you think of this?"

Qin Huaiyu's whole body trembled, he was frightened by Ji Song.
