"Is there any news from Shan Wang?"

Zhao Dequan said: "Shan Wang sent the memorial today, and there is no other news about the rest."

The emperor listened and frowned.

He has read the memorial of Shan Wang, and its content is almost the same as Yan Xiaoran's, which means that it's winter and winter and it's not suitable for war, and the food and grass of the army are about to reach the bottom.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been working hard. I didn't expect that the National Treasury would be empty as soon as there was a war."

Zhao de didn't know how to answer these words. No matter what way he said it, he would certainly annoy the emperor.

But after the emperor said this, he didn't say anything else. Instead, he asked, "how many months have Concubine Xiao's children been? Is it going to produce soon? "

Zhao Dequan immediately said with a smile: "it has been four months. When the summer harvest comes, the little prince will be born. In the harvest season, the little prince is blessed

The emperor listened, and a smile appeared on his face, "yes."

Now almost all the kings with different surnames have been removed by him. The only one left is the king of Yan, who is still young and devoted himself to a peasant girl. Shan Wang has been pinched in his hand. Although the king of Qi has turned against him, he believes that he will not succeed. One day, he will wipe the king of Qi.

And those new rich people are still very weak. In this way, he doesn't have to worry that his harem will have the right to extend his hand again.

He can have his own children at last.

Moreover, concubine Xiao's background is innocent. Although the Xiao family has certain influence in cangsui state, their people are not in the court, so they can't interfere in the affairs of the court. The status and reputation of the Xiao family will not let their prince fall into the hands of their mother's family.

The emperor thought about the future and finally felt relieved.

"Now that the Treasury is empty, there will be a temporary truce."

Finally, the emperor made up his mind.

has the final say that he will continue to discuss in the court tomorrow, and he will continue to spare no effort to surrender the king of Qi. All these must be discussed by ministers and draw up a specific regulation.

Three days later, Yan Xiaoran received the emperor's edict to let the army rest and recuperate.

At the same time, the imperial edict to surrender the king of Qi was sent to Jizhou, but the king of Qi would not surrender obediently.

"The emperor dare not fight. This is our chance."

After seeing off the envoys of the imperial court, lengsong went to the king of Qi and continued to suggest, "the emperor is recuperating. We can also strengthen our strength during this period of time."

In fact, the king of Qi had a plan in mind, but when he heard lengsong's words, he was still a courteous and virtuous corporal, and asked modestly, "I don't know what clever plan Mr. Leng has?"

Leng Song said: "today, although the emperor is not the sage king, he is by no means a fatuous and incompetent person. But after only a few battles, the emperor took the initiative to truce. It can be seen that the Treasury is empty, which is not enough to support the next war. It must be very difficult for the emperor to make this decision. Has your highness ever thought about why?"

The emperor's truce was due to the emptiness of the national treasury. Naturally, the king of Qi knew very well. He also thought of some deep-seated reasons. But now Leng song solemnly asked, he felt that this person would give an unexpected answer.

"In Mr. Leng's opinion, why?"

Lengsong said, "because of the common people in the world."

Qi Wang's eyes narrowed and he looked at lengsong and said nothing.

But lengsong knew what he had said, and he had already talked about the heart of the king of Qi, so he continued: "when the dynasty was committed to suppressing the aristocracy, it was really conducive to consolidating the rule of the imperial power and making the power of the emperor more concentrated. However, when the Emperor suppressed the aristocracy, he forgot an important group, that is, the tenants of the aristocratic territory."

"These people have always been the vassals of the nobility. They can survive by farming the land of the nobility. However, after exploiting the land of the nobility, the emperor did not settle the landless tenants. The imperial court had no corresponding policy to appease them, and the nobles who lost their land would not use the limited land to support so many people, so some tenants were expelled by the nobles, and they became real rootless people. "

"Today's imperial treasury is empty, and it is precisely because of the reduction of aristocratic fiefdoms that there is a chance to wantonly reduce the amount of grain turned in. However, the emperor got a lot of land, but did not make rational use of it. He just regarded them as Royal property or handed them over to the original people. With limited manpower, he naturally could not produce more grain."

Lengsong said, looking at the king of Qi, with a trace of excitement in his voice, and said: "those rootless people, their strength may be limited, but all of them together, enough to shake the foundation of the rule of the emperor."

The king of Qi was shocked.

As a superior king of different surnames, he owns a lot of land, but his vision has always been in the palace. As for the common people, as long as there is no trouble, he will not realize the existence of these people.Now listening to Leng song's words, he saw something that he had never noticed before, which was consistent with his restoration of aristocratic status.

The king of Qi said with a smile, "Mr. Leng has a profound insight, but I admire him. I don't know what to do next according to Mr. Leng?"

Leng Song said: "the Lord has already made the name of restoring his aristocratic status. We might as well continue to make an article on it. All the nobles who take refuge in us can, as in the past, own the fiefdoms corresponding to their status. At the same time, the common people on the fiefdoms can go to the nobles to get the corresponding land according to the population. "

"Within three years, you only need to pay the basic rent, and you don't need to pay any other taxes. In this way, your highness will surely win the support of a large number of nobles and common people."

King Qi laughed and said, "what Mr. Leng said is just what I want! This is why I have issued a decree, but in the process of implementation, I also ask Mr. Leng to supervise it, so as to check and fill the gaps. "

Lengsong was also slightly excited and said, "thank you, your highness! I will live up to your Highness's entrustment

When he came out from the king of Qi, Leng song looked at the cold blue sky with great emotion.

Before, he thought that the king of Qi was ruthless and not worth following. Today's proposal is actually a trial. If the king of Qi does not pay attention to the people, he will leave without hesitation.

However, the king of Qi adopted his suggestion. No matter what the purpose and consideration was, it was a matter worthy of celebration for him!
