Chapter 31 Confrontation
Chapter 48 Confrontation

"No land! Who said there is no land? Isn't there a large piece of land near Anyi? This area is the most fertile land in the entire east of the river. How could there be no land?" Liu Xie asked.

Yang Feng didn't want all the people from Baibo Valley to come, that would inevitably strengthen the strength of the three of Han Siam, so he came out and explained: "Your Majesty! The land here is all owned, and the nine floors and nine floors are all from the powerful Wei family and other families. , and there is no other land for other people.”

"Is that so?"

Liu Xie seemed to be ignorant, Jia Xu nodded and cooperated, and then Liu Xie asked again: "Then do they have to pay taxes to the court?"

Jia Xu shook her head!

The four generals also shook their heads.

"I can't hand it in!" Liu Xie stopped writing, his eyebrows were erected, staring at the four of them, Yang Feng, and touched them:

"They don't pay taxes. Why should those lands belong to them? The whole world belongs to the big man, and it belongs to my Liu family. The same goes for these lands. If they don't pay taxes, they won't be able to plant them. From now on, they will all have to pay taxes. The four generals, you go and urge them to not only pay land taxes, but also pay taxes from now on.

Whoever refuses to pay will be arrested and locked up. Otherwise, where will the court get money and food, how will the four generals train and lead the army to fight, how can they regain Chang'an and wipe out Li Jue and his ilk. "

Ha ha!The emperor's words are domineering!
The four of them were delighted when they heard what the emperor said, they could attack the aristocratic family, snatch their fields and their mansions, and arrest anyone who dared to disobey.

Then Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Li Le praised: "Your Majesty is wise, as it should be. The world belongs to the great man and belongs to His Majesty. No matter who it is, it is necessary to pay taxes and taxes to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will do it after this, and wait for it." Make room for the people of Baibo Valley to settle here."

Since the Son of Heaven came up with such a good idea, the three of Han Xian should not hesitate anymore. With the Son of Heaven in their hands, they will use Anyi as their base camp in the future. Naturally, they cannot go back to Baibo Valley, and the people there will also move out. to increase strength.

Yang Feng did not object to raising taxes on the aristocratic family, but he was somewhat resistant to the move of the three of Han and Siam to Anyi, so he said: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Will this anger the aristocratic family? The county is deeply entrenched, if the resistance to the law is not handed over, there will be turmoil."

"What a mess! Whoever dares to disobey His Majesty's order will be arrested and tortured; whoever dares to use weapons will be killed." Hu Cai stood up and said to Yang Feng:

"Yang Feng, what do you mean? Do you want to oppose His Majesty's edict? Yang Feng, your meritorious service is not enough to seal you as a general. If I were Your Majesty, I wouldn't need to seal you."

When Han Xian and Li Le heard this, it was the truth. If Yang Feng wanted to obstruct it, he would ask the emperor not to give him the title of General Wei. Anyway, the three of them were already dissatisfied with him being one of the four generals, and now the imperial decree of the emperor is also It hasn't been written yet, it can be changed.

"You...huh! Whatever you want." Seeing that the three of them were pressing hard, Yang Feng glared at Hu Cai bitterly, turned his face to one, and didn't bother with this matter. It was a compromise, and he hated Hu Cai in his heart. Take it one step further.

"That's enough! The four generals are the pillars of the country. It's not appropriate to be so noisy. This matter is settled. You can discuss the specific matters, and then talk to Jia Aiqing in detail. You also know Jia Aiqing's intelligence, and handles the affairs of the court. You Fang, you can follow him to learn more about this aspect." After Liu Xie finished writing the imperial decree, he asked Jia Xu to hand it to the four people, and then waved his hand to signal that he was going to leave.

Jia Xu is so dark, his ideas must be bad enough.

The four of them took a look, then bowed their thanks and left.

Seeing the four of them leave, Jia Xu helped the emperor to play with the four of them together, but there was still some worry on his brows, and he said: "Your Majesty! Although this will push the four of them into a fight with the family, I'm afraid If they overplay it, there will be even greater chaos, and it will not be stable in the east of the river.”

Liu Xie glanced at Jia Xu, and stood up: "If it's messy, it's chaotic. Anyway, the world is messy enough. When the chaos is over, it's time to clean it up. If it doesn't break down, it won't stand up. Don't you think all the aristocratic families in the world should clean up?

One after another, they have been favored by the emperor, and they have been honored and favored. As a result, they have done something, constantly poaching the corners of the royal family, helping those rebels raise troops to cause trouble, and now they are still thinking about dividing up the world, so that the common people live in dire straits. middle.

Aiqing, have you ever thought about it, if everyone has fields, if everyone has clothes to wear, houses to live in, and everyone can learn, what a grand event this would be, and how strong and stable such a country would be. "

Although Jia Xu was not from a poor family, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and the eyes of the emperor became more foggy, so he asked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, not only should the fields of the various families be divided, but also the common people should go to school."

Knowledge has always been something that only aristocratic families have. Books are so precious, and people are generally not underestimated. It is not easy for poor families to obtain knowledge.

Jia Xu came from a prominent family in Wuwei. Although he didn't object to the emperor's words, he didn't think Liu Xie could succeed in doing so.

"Of course! If the common people don't learn, why should they be enlightened? The strategy of fooling the people is in turn fooling the country. Those who benefit the most are the noble families and powerful landlords in the middle. I think Jia Aiqing has a deep understanding." Liu Xie clarified the mystery. Looking at Jia Xu.

Since ancient times, the dynasties of all dynasties have practiced the strategy of fooling the people, in order to imprison the people, wanting to live together for generations, for fear that the people will rebel.

But here comes the problem. Basically, the ones who succeed in the rebellion in the end are the meritorious and powerful landlords from aristocratic families.

And Jia Xu is also a member of the aristocratic family. Although he is the smallest aristocratic family, he also understands what kind of role the aristocratic family plays in various places.

Jia Xu was sweating a little, but he didn't expect the emperor to see them so thoroughly. He knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise."

the next day!really!Wang Yi, Wei Jin and others came again, this time with a mighty army of soldiers from the county, and asked to meet the saint.

Yang Feng and Han Xian got the canonization of the Son of Heaven yesterday, and they have new ideas. Naturally, they will not conflict with Wang Yi and others at this time. After all, there are many county soldiers, and each family also has a large number of private soldiers in each county. It was really such a chaotic fight, and there was a lot of loss, so I let them in, and agreed to hold a court meeting, and invite your majesty to come to the court.

In the lobby of the original Wei family mansion, Liu Xie started his first court meeting in Hedong, with the Baibo army on both sides serving as the military, and the Wangyi county minister serving as the writer.

There were no eunuchs around, so the personal guard Hong Nan was in charge of speaking out. Hong Nan and Jia Xu, one civil and one military, also stood under Liu Xie, left and right, and only listened to Hong Nan's way: "If you have something to play, you can't leave the court if you have nothing to do. Noisy."

"Your Majesty has something to announce." Wang Yi stood up, and Liu Xie raised his hand to signal him. Wang Yi first picked up some county government affairs and reported it, explaining the current situation of Hedong since winter, and then said:
"Your Majesty came to Hedong for an inspection. The people in the upper and lower counties of Hedong all expressed their loyalty to share His Majesty's worries. Here is a detailed list of losses. Please have a look at it."

Jia Xu came down and took the fold in Wang Yi's hand, and handed it to Liu Xie. Liu Xie opened it and looked, good guy, this is a hastily drawn up loss list by Wang Yi and the other families in Hedong. Anyone who is willing to donate food and money Donations and the like.

But not much, just to make a point, a drop in the bucket.

This is a routine, a trick that civil servants like to play, and the next thing is to talk about business, throwing bricks to attract jade, Liu Xiehe calmed down, then looked at the crowd, and said: "The people of Hedong County have hearts, Wang Aiqing thank you for me past them."

"Share your majesty's worries, and dare not take credit for it." Wang Yi then turned the conversation to Feng and said: "Your Majesty has another matter to report. I sue Li Le for violating the law and discipline, harassing good people, robbing countless wealth of the Wei family, and beating and killing the people of the Wei mansion." Dozens of people."

"Oh! There is such a thing." Liu Xie took the copy and glared at Li Le.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I have been wronged. The Prefect Wang is absolutely deceitful. Since when did I embezzle the wealth of the Wei family, I just..." Li Le, of course, wanted to quibble and stand up to argue.

But Wang Yi's party stood up and said: "Your Majesty, we can testify for the prefect that Li Le invaded the property of the Wei family and injured dozens of lives. Your Majesty, please be the master of the Wei family."
