Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 84 The Tang Dynasty is like a crumbling house
"But this year's harvest is not very good, and the family has no way of living. As soon as his mother-in-law discussed with him, she planned to sell the eldest daughter first. With the money, she could pay the tenant rent and the court's taxes. Then she came to me. Yes? I also think his family is pitiful, and it just so happens that Eunuch Cheng wants a pair of food, so wouldn't this be a matchmaker for him? "

When Ren Yazi said this, he patted his chest aggrievedly.

"But we have to speak with conscience. This noble man, you have seen the business between me and him. I just said what I had to say and didn't hide it... Yes, I admit it, this man did it." It’s just a wicked thing, but we didn’t add insult to injury, right?”

"If I hadn't set up a matchmaking process for him, where would he have found such a good buyer? With just a few clicks, he could buy ten kilograms of millet, which is still a lot. When people in the countryside marry their daughters, the gift is two kilograms of millet. Son! Pay ten dollars for that? He’s so beautiful!”

"Yeah." Li Shimin didn't say anything. He took out the paper-skinned walnuts given to him by Li Qing and stuffed them into Yuan Nu's mouth.

Yuan Nu's big mouth used a little force to bite open the walnut with a click, and his tongue flexibly sucked away the walnut kernel.

"Your Majesty, this bird is so handsome!" Ren Yazi looked at the bird and praised it enviously, "You guys sit down for a moment. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you for now."

"Go." Li Shimin waved his hand and continued to tease Yuan Nu.

Not long after, a fat-headed and pink-faced dandy walked in from outside. When he saw the bird in Li Shimin's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up. He came up to stand aside and marveled, and his eyes almost fell on Yuan Nu.

"Brother, please." The dude greeted him like this, but his eyes were always glued to Yuan Nu, "I wonder if my brother can part with me, I am also a bird lover."

Li Shimin didn't even look at him. He stretched out his hand to rub Yuan Nu's head and said coldly: "I won't sell it."

"Brother, I am also a bird lover. I really love this handsome bird. I'll give you two thousand guans!" The dude slapped the table, startling Yuan Nu, and flapped his wings and let out a quacking sound. The cry.

The wind from the wings messed up the Dandy's hair. Instead of hating it, he liked it even more.

"Brother, I'll give you five thousand strings!"

"Noisy." Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"you……"

Halfway through his words, the dude felt his feet lifting off the ground lightly.

"Didn't you understand what my master said?" Yu Chigong stared and asked viciously.

The playboy's heartbeat skipped a beat, he peed his pants without tightening them, and he shivered for a long time without saying a word.

When Yuchi Gong saw that he had peed, he threw him aside in disgust.

"Coward."

"Alas..." Someone at the table next to him sighed. I don't know whether it was envy or a sigh: "Let me tell you, this man is worse than a bird!"

After hearing this, Lao Li lost interest in teasing birds and handed Yuan Nu into Li Mingda's arms in a wan mood.

Yuan Nu was in Li Mingda's arms, rubbing her little face with his furry head.The little human is holding a parrot that is almost as big as her, and it feels like she is holding the whole world.

Although he was not the Tang Dynasty under his rule, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw the people mourning in such a sad manner.

Since becoming friends with Xiandi, he found that he cared more and more about the well-being of the people.

Of course, maybe it was also because the wise brother showed him the five-volume dragon-slaying outline that asked him to practice reverse magic skills. "In the prosperous times, people actually sold their sons and daughters!" Li Shimin reached out and slapped the table, and said angrily: "How did he, Li Longji, become the emperor! He was deceived to this extent?"

The dandy who had just been frightened to death by Yuchi Gong stopped shaking when he heard Li Shimin's words. He got up and sneaked away secretly.

"Oh, my brother Erfeng..." Li Bai quickly grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve, "People here are very talkative. Please be careful what you say. You can also call His Majesty by his given name..."

"Why, he can do it and yet he won't let anyone tell him?" Li Shimin said bitterly, "He indulges his relatives, let's talk about the uncle's relatives. With his power, he has become a disaster in the fish and meat village. Such a cancer is worthy of Stealing a high position? I think he is really old and has slacked off!"

"To put it bluntly, the imperial power does not extend to the county, Brother Li." Li Qing hugged his arms, "Even in the Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Er may not know how many similar vicious incidents occurred in a specific county."

Li Shimin choked on his words.

"I heard that the Duke of Hubei, Yuchi Jingde, also annexed acres of land, but I don't know if there has been any similar forced buying and selling." When Li Qing said this, he looked at Yuchi Gong meaningfully.

Yu Chigong looked aside sheepishly. As the richest man in Chang'an, he did like to buy land, but he left everything to his servants. Who knows if this would happen?
If you say that you only heard about the story of women selling girls, then you may not think it's anything.But this happened right in front of him. Even a general like Yu Chigong who was used to seeing life and death would find it too miserable.

"The rich have vast fields, and the poor have no place to stand. With the annexation of land, more and more farmers are desperate because of the loss of their land." Li Qing reached out and drew a circle in the air: "In the end, the peasant uprising broke out, or... Careerists clamored for rebellion, and war swept across the country. Rich households who originally owned acres of land fled or were killed on a large scale. Their acres were re-granted to peasants, and then land annexation and peasant uprisings occurred. This cycle went back and forth and became a cycle. law."

"Some dynasties are more lucky and survived the uprising; some dynasties are more unlucky and failed to survive the uprising." Li Qing couldn't help but smile when he said this, "But without exception, there will be a large number of unowned fields. Birth.”

"I understand," Du Fu quickly realized the problem, "Xiao Qing means to suppress land annexation?"

"Exactly." Li Qing nodded and said, "There is another way, and that is to develop productivity."

"Develop productivity?" Of course Du Fu would not understand this meaning.

"I'll tell you more about it later," Li Qing glanced at Lao Li, who was still thinking deeply, and said to him with a smile, "Brother Li, what are you thinking about?"

"Such evil things are happening in the Jingzhao area. I really can't imagine what it would be like in other areas!" Li Shimin hammered the table with hatred.

"Perhaps the Tang Dynasty is just a crumbling house that looks bright on the surface. As long as someone kicks it..."

When Li Qing said this, Li Bai immediately took over.

"Will it collapse suddenly?"

"No, a group of angry men will rush out and beat you up." Li Qing said in a weird voice.

Just then, a voice came from outside.

"This is it! It's them who were slandering His Majesty just now!"
