Zongwu: Li Xiuning proposes to marry, and signs to Jinyiwei

"Don't talk yet, Xiuning, keep talking."

Li Xiuning knew in her heart that "my husband is really testing me, he must have other considerations".

Li Xiuning thought about it carefully, and said, "At this time, Pingliang City is in the midst of power transfer. We are not on a firm foothold, and we rashly open warehouses to release grain, which may cause riots."

"Furthermore, opening granaries to release grain will only cultivate the laziness of the people. Although the people in the city are living in misery, they have not reached the point where they can't go on."

"For them now, reducing taxes and redistributing land is the most important thing."

"Even if all the food in the city is distributed to the people in the city, it won't last long. What's more, we have to support the soldiers who surrendered."

"These soldiers are very important for our future army formation."

After Li Xiuning finished speaking, she looked at Mu Yuan, wanting to know if she was right.

Song Yuzhi and the others were silent, because what Li Xiuning said was something they hadn't thought of.

Obviously, none of them have the same political savvy as Li Xiuning.

Mu Yuan nodded, appreciating, "That's right, but it's not that I really don't help the people in the city, but I have to change the way."

Li Xiuning and the others all looked at Mu Yuan, a little curious, what method does Mu Yuan want to change?

"I plan to let the poor people in the city help me build the city wall, and I will provide them with food."

Li Xiuning's eyes lit up, isn't this just work for relief?

In fact, the predecessors had such a method hundreds of years ago.

It's just that few people have practiced it for hundreds of years.

Because each dynasty has corvee every year, and corvee is free, you need to prepare food yourself.

With free labor, who would spend food to hire people?

Wanwan and the others probably understood.

Li Xiuning also looked at Mu Yuan with admiration.

In fact, people with a little bit of brains can think of work relief, but many people can't do it.

Because of the need for a lot of food, and to resist the temptation of free.

Corvée is a matter of course for the people of this era.

So are most officials.

In fact, Li Xiuning also knows that the same is true in the Li family. Although the people there live a little better than other places, they are also severely oppressed.

After all, the Li family needs a lot of resources to build an army, and also needs to exchange war horses with the Turks, so they can only rely on squeezing the people under the rule.

Relief from work is easy to say, but how many people can really do it?

And Li Xiuning believes that Mu Yuan will definitely be able to achieve 0...

This is where he and others fail.

Mu Yuan looked at the girls and said with a smile, "I asked them to build the city wall for another very important purpose, that is, when the people are very poor and have nothing to do, it is easy for people to gather chaos, so let them build the city wall, Find something to do, find a place to eat, and let me start to manage the law and order in the city."

"Only when public security is improved, can the people live and produce with peace of mind."

"At this time, by imposing light and thin taxes and re-dividing the land for farmers, this area can be redeveloped."

"Looking at the state of Pingliang City, I'm afraid Master Liang is very hard on this place."

"It is necessary to reduce and exempt the heavy taxes on the people. As long as the people resume production, relying on the Hetao Plain to plug the south of the Yangtze River can provide us with a solid base."

At this time, Li Xiuning looked at Mu Yuan with more and more admiration.

Before, she just wanted to do her best to help Mu Yuan. If Mu Yuan really couldn't succeed, she would rely on her status in the Li family to find a place for Mu Yuan in the Li family.

But now Li Xiuning is very confident in Mu Yuan. She believes that her husband will be able to clear up the chaos in the Sui Dynasty and become the only one on the throne.

Because of what Mu Yuan said, the Li clan didn't dare to do that.

Because of this, where will the Li Clan get the resources to raise troops?

But Muyuan can do it, and he will do it.

This is the difference between Muyuan and them, he said to do it, and he will definitely do it.

Li Xiuning couldn't help hugging Mu Yuan, "Husband, it is an honor to marry you as a real concubine".

Mu Yuan was stunned.

Wanwan and the others looked at Li Xiuning, and thought about what Mu Yuan said.

I have great admiration for Mu Yuan.

They are all in high positions in the Sui Dynasty, and they never struggle for 1.5 food and drink.

Even in normal times, there is very little contact with farmers and the people at the bottom.

But what Mu Yuan said just now is indeed what Pingliang County, or the entire Sui Dynasty should do at this time.

But it is impossible for those aristocratic families to do this, and it is impossible for Yang Guang to do that in order to maintain the imperial court's military front.

They will only squeeze the people harder.

But Muyuan can make this kind of decision, which already shows that he is different from others.

Wan Wan looked at Mu Yuan with glowing eyes.

She believed more and more that Mu Yuan could really compete for that position, he now has this qualification.

Fu Junmao looked at Mu Yuan and thought, if Mu Yuan really overthrew the Sui Dynasty and established his own dynasty, what would his attitude towards Goryeo be?

Now he has shown the demeanor of a hero.

Judging from the current development of Goryeo, if Mu Yuan became the emperor, he might also send troops to Goryeo.

Because she also knows that if Goryeo develops, it will pose a great threat to Tai Sui.

This is not something she can solve as Mu Yuan's wife.

Chapter 112 Teaching Song Yuzhi the Good and Evil of Human Heart

The carriage came all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.

Hundreds of servants in the City Lord's Mansion stood tremblingly in the courtyard, waiting for the arrival of the man who decided their own destiny.

The City Lord's Mansion occupies a very large area, covering an area of ​​[-] mu, and the houses in the City Lord's Mansion are magnificently built.

After Mu Yuan got off the carriage, he saw the gate of the city lord's mansion and saw the extraordinaryness of the city lord's mansion.

The gate alone is already very magnificent, and the two huge stone lions at the gate are more than one foot high.

It is much taller than the stone lions of ordinary people.

The gate is also more than two feet wide and more than one foot high.

This is not much smaller than the gate of Pingliang City.

When he brought Wanwan and the five girls into the City Lord's Mansion, he saw hundreds of trembling servants standing in the yard.

There are more than 200 men and women.

When these people saw Mu Yuan, they saluted immediately.

"The servant has seen the master".

More than 200 people knelt down in front of Mu Yuan.

The scene was indeed spectacular.

But Moo-won can see that each of them is shaking.

However, Mu Yuan didn't directly call them up.

After waiting for a long time, the hearts of these servants were pounding, and many of them even turned pale with fright, for fear that Mu Yuan would kill them if he got upset.

When they were in the future Liang Cheng, they were already worried all day long by his moodiness.

Now Moo-won is at it again.

But they are all servants of the city lord's mansion, as long as Mu Yuan says 04, they will all be killed.

After a long time, Mu Yuan said calmly, "Get up."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This master is not simple, and none of them dare to speak out.

Mu Yuan went on to say, "Do well what you are supposed to do. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do something wrong, you will be punished. Let's all go down and prepare a room for me and the ladies."

More than 200 servants breathed a sigh of relief.

They finally don't have to die.

As for the reward, they never thought that it would be nice to be alive.

After all the servants went down, Song Yuzhi came to Mu Yuan, glared at him and said, "You were so scary just now, were you too strict with them?".

Song Yuzhi felt a little suffocated just now, especially after Mu Yuan deliberately paused for a long time before speaking, which really scared Song Yuzhi who was standing aside and watching.

She had never seen Mu-won so serious before.

Li Xiuming was thoughtful.

Wanwan and the others didn't care at all.

After all, Wanwan herself is not a good person, she kills people like hemp.

If it wasn't for being with Mu Yuan, she might kill someone in a few days.

Fu Junmao now thinks that Mu Yuan does everything she thinks is right.

Mu Yuan smiled and said, "Do you think it's very strict?".

Song Yuzhi pouted, "Isn't it strict? They almost thought they were going to die just now, right?".

Mu Yuan said calmly, "Actually, you don't know. I was saving their lives just now. If I had treated them very well just now, it would be the greatest harm to them."

Song Yuzhi couldn't figure out "How do you say this?".

Mu Yuan shook his head and explained, "If I have treated them very well from the beginning, and we are so young, how will these servants treat us in the future?".
