"Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Youzhou, these three states are basically under our control because of the war. Even if there are opponents, there will be no big riots, not to mention that I have recruited businessmen to fight against the gentry."

"Several key businessmen, such as Zheng De and Mi's family, I will personally tell them. The dismissal of domestic slaves will all adopt the employment model, and give the benefits of businessmen. I believe they can support me."

"After all, merchants don't deal with gentry. We win over merchants from poor families. The enemy is only gentry who can't get together. If I say that in Jizhou or Yanzhou, there will be strong opposition to doing these things, but now here in Qingzhou A nascent regime I want to try."

"As long as we succeed, the common people in the world will be used by us. With the support of the common people, no matter whether it is the country or the army, we will be invincible!"

Jian Shuo sighed, but still agreed to Zhi Yuan's plan.Of course...Jian Shuo would tell Emperor Liu Bian exactly what Zhiyuan said.Naturally, Zhi Yuan would not hide Liu Bian's secrets, because these things will indeed be known to the emperor in the end.

So Zhi Yuan just asked Jian Shuo to take away his proposal and let him send it to Liu Bian.

Then Jian Shuo directly talked about the current affairs of the court, and it is true that Yang Xiu is currently entering the court.Because of the status of Yang Xiu's family, his status is also the highest, and he was mixed up with a waiter.In Yang Xiu's group, the rest are Mi Heng, Chen Qun, Zhao Jian and others.

Although these people did not directly oppose Zhiyuan's order, they still encouraged the emperor to believe in the ability of the gentry to govern the country, rather than a group of mud legs from some school.

But these people are clean and honest, so Jian Shuo didn't find out any crimes against them.And Zhiyuan said to Jia Xu: "There is no need to be poor with those few people, they are not bad for money, so naturally they are clean and self-sufficient."

"If you want to make a difference, start with their families. The hidden population of these people's families is definitely tens of thousands. What we want is these people...and their land."

Chapter 430: Reunion

Early the next morning, Zhi Yuan had made up her mind, and then she struggled a bit and came to the Tang residence.

Tang Zhen is still one of the three lords now, and Zhi Yuan has opened the mansion independently.And Tang Tian also lives in the Tang Mansion because he wants to serve his father.

Whether it is Sangong or Zhiyuan's identity, the Tang Mansion is extremely prosperous.At present, there are thousands of diners, and there are many servants and maidservants.Zhiyuan sighed, after all some things have to start from her own home, Zhiyuan still can't bear it...

But now that this decision has been made, how can we set an example to the world if our own family can't do it?And this is also an opportunity, an opportunity for the Tang family to completely break with him.

And this time when Zhiyuan returned to the plain, neither her father Tang Zhen nor her elder brother Tang Tian came to greet her.Although it's not that they have any rift with Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan knows that this is to avoid suspicion.

Zhiyuan's power is too great, if it continues to expand like this, or if everyone in the Tang family occupies a high position, then wouldn't Qingzhou only know that there is a Tang family, but not that there is an emperor?

So this was Tang Zhen's attitude, and Zhi Yuan knew it clearly.But Zhi Yuan planned to do even better, even if she died without a place to bury her, the Tang family would not be affected at all.

Zhiyuan pushed open the gate of the Tang Mansion, and the servants were surprised to see Zhiyuan come back and ran to the lobby. "Miss is back!" This servant was very happy, and even when he shouted, the whole Tang Mansion was boiling.

Tang Tian ran out and hugged Zhiyuan: "Little sister, you are finally back. Father usually worries about you the most. Even when talking to me, you are the one who talks the most."

"But you know we have to avoid suspicion. In fact, father said that you'd better come back after returning to the plain for a few days. My sister is a little anxious..."

Zhi Yuan's eyes turned red and she hugged her even tighter: "When I was away, my family was thankful to have you, brother. I owe you too much in my life... I don't know how to repay you."

Tang Tian laughed, then took Zhi Yuan's hand and walked into the hall.As he walked, he said, "What does my sister repay me for? Aren't we a family?"

"Ah Wei... Hurry up and ask the kitchen to cook!" Tang Tian shouted to a little maid who was close to her.

The little girl blushed when she saw Tang Tian, ​​and then ran down with a "hey".Zhi Yuan giggled and said, "Brother is about thirty, he is becoming more and more manly, and the little girls in the house seem to regard you as the object of yearning."

Tang Zhen made a helpless expression: "Keep your voice down, don't let Mrs. Yin hear... Now your sister-in-law has given birth to another daughter for me, and I have just recovered. I don't want her to be jealous."

Hmm... Although Tang Zhen has always had status and status, she is nothing more than a monogamous wife and a concubine. After all, he has Tang Heng as his queen, and he loves the Yin family very much, so he doesn't find too many women. .

That concubine was asked by the Yin family to marry him, and she was a woman from the noble family.To put it bluntly, it can be regarded as a method of marriage, but more attention is paid to Tang Tian's son Tang Heng.

The two chatted for a while, and soon came to the main hall.Tang Zhen was waiting here, and Zhi Yuan came directly to see her.

Tang Zhen looked at Zhiyuan, then nodded and said, "I never expected that my daughter would have such an achievement. Good... good!"

At this time, Tang Tian also invited his wife and daughter out, as well as Tang Heng who just came back. A group of people have seen Zhiyuan...

To be honest, this is also a big family.Tang Tian was already flourishing. He already had two sons and three daughters, the youngest of which was just born. The Yin family was feeding the youngest daughter with a motherly expression.

Then the food started to be served outside. To put it bluntly, this was also a reunion dinner. For so many years, the kites have been together less often, and the family has not had a meal together for an unknown amount of time.

Naturally, Zhi Yuan would not say anything at this time, instead she kept picking up food for Tang Zhen.Tang Zhen was also very happy, except...she started asking Zhi Yuan about her marriage, which caused Zhi Yuan to sigh involuntarily.

"Maybe she will get married soon, so Yuan Shu? Then he will be fine..." Zhi Yuan said vaguely.

Tang Zhen was also a little helpless, except that her daughter didn't look like a woman, basically there was nothing wrong with her.In many cases, Zhiyuan is more of a man than men, and her identity is indeed no one dares to propose marriage.

Zhiyuan is almost 26... At this age, with this identity, who would dare to propose marriage?If Tang Zhen had any regrets, it might be that her daughter hadn't been married yet.

It has just entered spring, and the surroundings of the Tang Mansion are basically full of flowers.And while they were eating, it started to rain a little outside.

Tang Zhen said to the kite, "There have been a few light rains this spring, and it is estimated that this year will be a bumper year. Now that Qingzhou is getting stronger, the country will be stable only when the weather is favorable."

Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Father is right, the so-called spring rain is as expensive as oil... We should let everyone have enough food and clothing. This is also the ideal we are striving for."

Tang Tian also smiled at Zhiyuan and said, "My sister is right. Speaking of which, my sister's literary talents are also very good. The Xuejian doll is also very virtuous and cute now. I think it's probably due to her name."

The corner of Zhiyuan's mouth twitched, Xue Jian is virtuous and cute? ?She looked at the somewhat gentle Xuejian not far away, and knew that this child was definitely pretending to be virtuous. According to Liu Bian, this girl was very wild, she was absolutely virtuous, and it didn't matter a penny.

Xuejian ran directly to Zhiyuan, and gave Zhiyuan a big gift. "I've met my mother..." Xue Jian looks really good, and she's really cute after doing this.

A group of people burst into laughter.

Then Tang Tian said to Zhi Yuan: "My little girl is not even full moon yet, so she didn't name her."

"Since my younger sister has the talent for naming, why don't you give me a nice name for this little girl. I hope her life will be worry-free, safe and happy..."

Something suddenly came to Zhiyuan's head, and she nodded, "That's fine... just wait for me."

Zhi Yuan went out and talked to one of her guards, and the guard left the Tang Mansion quickly.After about a quarter of an hour, the guard came back and brought Zhiyuan a long wooden box.

Zhiyuan opened the wooden box, and a group of people saw a jade flute inside.Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I can't remember which merchant gave it to me. I probably heard that I like musical instruments somewhere, so I got a jade flute for me."

Zhiyuan took a small knife, and directly carved a sentence on the side of the jade flute.

"The rain is light and the wind is gentle, tenderness and pity for Huashang..."

Then Zhiyuan put the jade flute in Yin's hand: "Take this as a gift from me to this little girl..."

"As for her name, it's Tang Yurou..." Zhi Yuan looked at Tang Tian with satisfaction, and then said seriously.

Chapter 430 Six: Breaking Up

After the family had eaten, Tang Zhen sent everyone else away.

Only Tang Zhen, Tang Tian and Zhi Yuan were left in the hall.Tang Zhen sighed: "Daughter... I have a hunch that this may be the last time you will go home..."

Zhiyuan burst into tears, and then Zhiyuan knelt down in front of Tang Zhen.

Although Zhiyuan is just a time traveler, Zhiyuan has completely accepted her identity over the years.And if it wasn't for Tang Zhen's support, how would I have achieved what I am today?

Tang Zhen touched Zhiyuan's face with her hand, her eyes were also moist.But Tang Zhen was the head of the family after all, and soon he stopped grieving. "What are you afraid of? Daughter!"

"I know you have great ambitions, although now I don't know what weird things you have learned from Zuo Ci. But in the past few decades, I have seen everything my daughter has done..."

"Perhaps my daughter doesn't have any interest in imperial power or even looks disdainful, but I can see... at least my daughter has the hearts of all people in the world. So let's talk... I'll see what shocking plan my daughter has come up with."

Zhi Yuan nodded, and showed Tang Zhen and Tang Tian her record.

Tang Zhen didn't have the slightest expression of surprise, but Tang Tian was really frightened.Because he knew the consequences of Zhiyuan's actions, but just when he was about to say something, Tang Zhen waved her hand.

"Who are you worried about? My daughter is very lucky...he will be fine." Tang Zhen laughed at her son.

Tang Tian understood Zhi Yuan's meaning in an instant, then he glanced at his father, and finally nodded: "So it's decided?!"

Zhiyuan sighed: "I will secretly send people to protect you, and I will relegate you to Beihai County, where there are more gentry, even if I clean up the gentry, there will definitely be a lot of people left in the end."

"After we broke up, my brother tried to find a way to become the leader of the gentry. When I lose power in the future, my brother can come back... As for my reputation in the future, I don't care about it, but after my changes, the gentry will never Take full control of the court."

Tang Tian gritted his teeth and said to Zhi Yuan: "But sister, once the noble clan rises again in the future, aren't you afraid of being infamous forever?"

Zhi Yuan chuckled: "They're already doing this. I sent nearly a hundred strong men to me just after I went back yesterday. I'm afraid they won't be able to satisfy me."

As soon as Zhi Yuan finished speaking, Tang Zhen immediately became angry. "Who did it!"

"Father, don't worry. This time the rectification and reform will naturally focus on these people. But in a few days, please don't be merciful to my father."

"If we say goodbye today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again in the future. The daughter may not be able to provide for the father. And the life of the father in the future may not be as good as it is now. It is because the daughter is not filial..."

"Although my daughter is righteous, she is also deeply aware of her faults. Father, please allow me to cut off my head to repay my parents' kindness in nurturing me!" After Zhi Yuan finished speaking, she took out her sword.

Tang Tian next to him came over to pull the kite, but Tang Zhen sighed and waved to Tang Tian: "Tian'er, let her do it. Let's keep that hair, just think about it..."

"Starting tomorrow, quietly pack your bags. It is enough to bring some books and practical things, and distribute the rest to the servants. Since my daughter plans to abolish slavery, there will be no need for servants in the future."

"Except for the old servant who has been with me for decades, give money to the rest and let them leave at will."

Tang Tian nodded: "Father, I understand."

Zhiyuan opened her headgear first, and then smoothed out her hair that was close to the ground.Finally, she put her cold moon blade on the back of her neck, then sighed and gently moved it outside.

About 1.5 meters of hair was cut off around the neck, and then Zhiyuan picked up the hair and handed it to his brother Tang Tian. "Brother will work hard in the future, no matter what happens to me here, please take good care of my father."

Tang Tian nodded, then wrapped his hair in a cloth, and said to Zhiyuan, "Don't worry, sister, I'm responsible for everything."

Zhiyuan bowed to Tang Zhen again, then stood up.Tang Zhen glanced at Zhi Yuan, and finally said to her son Tang Tian: "Kick her out, the louder the noise, the better!"

Zhiyuan also smiled slightly, and then slapped Tang Tian with a paw.Zhi Yuan scratched Tang Tian's neck with a few blood marks, and Tang Tian was a little dazed by Zhi Yuan's blow.

But Tang Tian was naturally not a fool, he quickly understood what Zhiyuan and his father meant.From today onwards, the two sides are afraid that they will really be endless enemies.

Don't talk about benevolence and righteousness, even Tang Tian will join forces with the nobles to attack Zhiyuan.Now that the two parties have already decided, don't leave any openings.The quarrel between the two was so loud that many people in the Tang Mansion were confused.

Soon a bunch of people ran out, as well as the descendants of the Yin family and Tang Heng in front.These people didn't know why the two were arguing, especially when they saw that Zhiyuan's hair had become the length of a shawl, they were all very surprised.

"What are you doing?" Why did the fight start just after entering, where's the father?Yin immediately asked Tang Tian, ​​Tang Tian was about to say something when Zhi Yuan slapped him again.

Tang Tian was beaten by Zhi Yuan several times, and he also got a little angry.He scolded Zhi Yuan directly: "You have no respect for elders or inferiority, do you think you are not father's daughter if you cut Duan Yi's hair?"

Then Tang Tian's eyes were red, and he said to the Yin family: "This woman is not from the Tang family in the future, the Tang family does not have such a bastard!"

Yin Shi didn't dare to say anything immediately, but Tang Tian said to Yin Shi: "Go and accompany father, father is going to be mad at this bastard!"

All of a sudden, the Tang Mansion was in chaos, and Zhi Yuan went straight out of the Tang Mansion.Many people didn't know what happened, and there were many people watching outside.After Zhiyuan went out, she seemed to be still angry, so she smashed the door plaque on the Tang Mansion with a stone, and left angrily with her guards.

Tang Tian also rushed out of the Tang residence, yelling at Zhi Yuan.Naturally, there are many gentry or other people in the crowd.These people couldn't help but feel happy when they saw that Zhiyuan had broken with the Tang family.

Even on the second day, basically the entire plain was known to everyone.Of course, most of the people didn't know why, and even the Son of Heaven asked someone close to him to find out what was wrong with Zhi Yuan and the Tang family.

But what surprised the emperor even more was that Jian Shuo brought out the plan of the kite at this time, and the emperor understood the reason after seeing it.

Chapter 430 Seven: Raising Chaos

Two or three days later, the Tang Mansion actually told the gentry the cause of the quarrel between the two sides.

And told the gentry that the two sides have broken their friendship... Their Tang Mansion is now on the gentry's side.

Although some gentry did not believe it, some gentry chose to believe it.Because Tang Tian's relationship with the gentry was much better than Zhiyuan's.

Ever since the Tang family entered the plain, Tang Tian has been cooperating with the gentry.Or it could be said that Tang Tian generally acted as the old mediator of peace affairs, to alleviate the problems caused by Zhiyuan's suppression of the gentry.

It's been so many years, basically every time the gentry was suppressed by the kite, it was Tang Tian who appeased the gentry in the end.Hmm...Actually, Tang Tian was afraid that the kite would be tricked by the gentry, so he tried his best to keep the kite safe in other places.

Over time, Tang Tian still has some status in the gentry side, and has a good relationship with many gentry.

So after the dispute between the Tang Mansion and Zhi Yuan, naturally some nobles came to inquire about the situation, and Tang Tian told them some of Zhi Yuan's plans without hiding anything.

To be honest... Tang Tian knew clearly in his heart, since Zhi Yuan had decided that the layout had actually started long ago, what's the use of telling those people, could they run out of Qingzhou?

When the gentry heard the news, they all exploded. Isn't this going to damage their foundation?No wonder the Tang family and Zhiyuan collapsed. If there was a woman who betrayed her own interests in that gentry's family, she would have to kill her relatives righteously.

So a group of people also used the power of the gentry, and began to prepare to prevent the emperor from adapting to the kite's plan in the court, and some people had already begun plotting to get rid of the kite.

At this time, Zhiyuan had already told the emperor about her goals and plans.Of course Zhiyuan is not as obvious as entering the palace directly, she entered the palace through a secret passage.

Liu Bian also feels helpless towards Zhiyuan, although he fully understands Zhiyuan's actions.But... Zhiyuan really dared to do this for the sake of all the people in the world. Compared with Zhiyuan, the realm of himself as an emperor is really far worse.

"Brother...in the future, I'm afraid I'll be a power minister...or the kind of power minister that everyone fears." Zhi Yuan said to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian sighed: "Sister I know... In fact, if my sister really does something, she will tell me directly, right?"

Zhiyuan nodded: "It's the same as today, but in the court, because there are too many opposing voices, I can only be a villain. But through reports from Jinyiwei and other departments, I believe my brother can know that I am You did the right thing."

"As long as these things are truly implemented, it will be very beneficial to the continuation of the great man and the benefit of the people of the world."

"My younger brother must make good use of Jinyiwei. It is difficult for my great Han imperial power to go to the countryside. The general countryside is mostly controlled by landlords and gentry. Even in some remote mountainous areas, there will be countries that don't know the people, and the people don't know the existence of the country."

"If a country wants to prosper, it must use its own knife to clean up its rot. Otherwise, it will end up terminally ill and the regime will be overthrown..."

"Just like the first emperors used eunuchs to control the world of nobles, the current Jinyiwei is also giving eunuchs more rights. If there are any problems in the future, eunuchs are naturally the best candidates to evade their crimes."

The kite is also real, and the method of monitoring the state is handed over to Liu Bian.Because what Zhiyuan is going to do now is all on the bright side, and Zhiyuan will never touch the real power of the emperor.
