Chapter 654 Sit and watch the clouds rise and surge

Emperor Tianzi practiced all the year round, and handed over the world to the imperial capital ministers and princes of all parties to take care of, only when the Celestial Empire had a catastrophe, he would take action to help the thunder, and did not interfere too much in the daily affairs of the Celestial Empire, and paid attention to the rule of inaction.

At first glance, when he saw the account books of the grain, grass, and wealth of the princes of all parties, the Son of Heaven was slightly surprised.

The sharp increase in tribute from the state of Xi every year is in stark contrast to the stagnant growth and even decreasing of the tribute of the princes of all parties, especially in the first year after the state of Xi swallowed the country of Mo and the country of Shanyuan, the number of tribute of the state of Xi has directly doubled, reaching a huge amount of millions of stones, and it has become the prince with the most tribute among the princes in the world!

On the one hand, this shows that the talent of Xiyun Marquis in governing the country is worthy of the name, and the national strength is increasing day by day, which is really the pride of the world; on the other hand, it also proves that the princes of all walks of life have cultivated private fields and abandoned well fields.

Emperor Du snorted coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, take a good look, you call Xiguo a bad head, and Ranxi Guo's tribute this year ranks first among the princes in the world." ”

The ministers turned cold, and one by one they hurriedly exerted their mental strength to flip through the account books, and immediately looked at each other.

Xiguo's tribute has increased sharply year after year, and this year's tribute is as high as one million stones, leaving the princes of the world far away!

Before, the ministers found Xi Guo to carry the black cauldron, but now, Xi Guo's high tribute was in front of them, and they were speechless, even Jiang Gong, who swore to accuse Xi Guo at the beginning, buried his head, pretending to be nothing, and did not dare to say more.

The essence of the well field system lies in the fact that one of the nine ploughed fields in the world is the king's field, and the grain and grass are paid for the Son of Heaven.

Although Xiguo does not conform to the system of the well field system in form, in essence, it has always adhered to the system of the well field system, as evidenced by the millions of stone grain.

If you accuse Xiguo with this, then what do the princes from all walks of life say?!

No comparison, no harm!

Compared with the Xi Kingdom, the princes of all walks of life are too far behind, the second place tribute grain is only 600,000 stones, and the tribute grain of many vassal states has been reduced year after year, which is perfunctory.

"These princes who imitate the Xi Kingdom have only learned to cultivate private land, why don't they learn to learn from the Xi Kingdom to pay tribute, the whole world is not the king's land, in the eyes of the princes of all parties, there is still the Son of Heaven, but there is also the Celestial Empire!"

"Don't dare!

The emperor of the Son of Heaven was furious on the golden palace, the ministers trembled, and under the emperor's anger, no one dared to touch his moldy head.

At this time, Lao Situ stood up and said: "Shengshang, the erosion of the Jingtian system is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to reprimand, according to the old minister's view, it is reasonable to determine the world's land and property, and all of them should be included in the Jingtian system, take one of the nine, and urge the princes of all parties to pay tribute and pay taxes!"

Hearing Lao Situ's words, Di Dui's face softened slightly, although he had the intention to punish the princes of the world, to set an example, and demonstrate the authority of the Son of Heaven, but this matter is very important, few of the princes in the world have clean buttocks, it is indeed not appropriate to delve into it, and the top priority is to receive enough taxes to maintain the expenses of the Son of Heaven's various cloud masters.

Old Situ has a point. Emperor Du first recognized Lao Situ's approach, in fact, he did not resist the erosion of the Jingtian system, on the contrary, he was happy to make the Celestial Empire richer and more prosperous.

The only problem is that the share of wealth belonging to the Celestial Empire and the Son of Heaven has been privately swallowed by the princes of all parties.

Grabbing meat in the bowl of the Son of Heaven, which Son of Heaven can stand it!

Immediately, the Son of Heaven issued a new decree.

[After today, send a bluebird envoy to inspect the world, determine the number of acres of cultivated land, and take one of the nine to pay the [initial mu tax], every year in the future, it will be the same, thinking of the beginning of this law, as long as you take the initiative to report the private land, you will not be held accountable, if there are princes who conceal the private land and do not report, severely punish and do not lend!]

After the promulgation of the [initial mu tax], the blue bird made the whole clan go out to inspect the world and determine the number of acres of cultivated land in the world.

For a time, the entire Celestial Empire was shaken, and the princes of all parties were frightened.

Some princes were frightened like frightened birds, and their souls were frightened, so they immediately ran over to report the number of acres of private land and pay insufficient tribute.

Of course, there are also those who have the courage to rely on "the law does not blame the public", and obstruct the determination of the number of acres of land by the Blue Bird Envoy, or conceal or try to obstruct it.

For a time, the summer was surging towards the wind, and the undercurrent was surging.

......

Xiguo Fenghuang Palace.

Yao Yun, Second Elder Wu Tong, Sun Muyue and others had long expected the changes in the situation in the Zhu Xia Dynasty, so they were not surprised at all.

Yao Yun expected the erosion of the well field system after dedicating the ironmaking process, and he knew that he would not jump into the pit in the country of Shixi, so no matter how much cultivated land was cultivated, Yao Yun would take one of the nine according to the well field system and pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, so as not to fall into the tongue.

The result is very real, the ministers of the Celestial Empire led by Jiang Gong really attacked Xiguo and took the lead in breaking the Jingtian system!

"Shizi, Benlong didn't understand why you supplied so much money and food to Emperor Du for nothing, but now I understand, slapping Jiang Gong in the face in front of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty is really happy, Shizi, I have the foresight and foresight to lose you, otherwise Xiguo will be in big trouble this time. The bald dragon raised his eyebrows, but also had some palpitations.

The second elder Wu Tong nodded, quite emotional: "That's right, if Xiguo wants to rise, it really has to be taken step by step, and there is no room for mistakes. ”

After the scene of the imperial capital court spread, Xiguo also learned for the first time, and the second elder Wu Tong, Uncle Long and others all pinched a cold sweat for Xiguo.

They didn't expect that the Celestial Empire would be so dangerous under the undercurrent, if Xiguo concealed his private land and did not report it, and was not enough to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, under the siege of the ministers, Xiguo was in danger.

The predecessor of Xiguo, as a prince who failed to compete for the throne, why did he stand in the world?

Isn't it because the Emperor of Heaven is jealous of the world, and it is not appropriate to kill the Xi Kingdom and leave a way back for his descendants.

Yao Yun, the second elder Wu Tong, and the bald dragon believed that if they carried the black cauldron this time and became a victim of the princes of the world, the emperor of the Son of Heaven would definitely comply with the meaning of the "princes of the world" and destroy the Xi Kingdom.

After all, it is the people of the world who want to destroy Xiguo, not his emperor's personal vendetta and revenge against Xiguo.

Xiguo now has a little family background, and the gods of the earth, the elite division of the five-grade Zhenguo [Phoenix Division] that is about to take shape, and the five-grade elite division [Yin Soldier Yin General] are regarded as overlords anywhere.

However, in front of the Son of Heaven and the princes of all parties, this little power is still a little insufficient, the Son of Heaven has the support of the princes of the world, and wants to destroy the Xi Kingdom, it is a matter of minutes!

Yao Yun was also quite embarrassed, and he was also glad that he was cautious back then, and he did not covet some benefits.
