Chapter 417: Gathering Troops
Greed is the original sin of mankind.
Whatever the ghost could say, greed is an essential thing because it's one of the most powerful drivers of human progress.
Of course, many times it also covers people's eyes and makes people stubborn and stupid.
There are no pure-hearted people under Li Po's command, generals are eager to make meritorious deeds, officials are eager to be added to the ranks, and some people want to be famous in history, in fact, these desires can be classified as greed.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wen Yanbo came over, and several families in Jinyang wanted to recover their mountain forests and fields in Daizhou.
Li Po understood in a blink of an eye, is this going to stage a drama where my Hu Hansan is back?
Think about it, you know when these mountains and forests and fields were lost, to a certain extent, this is a legitimate request, Daizhou calmed down, asking to get back what belongs to him, it is not too much, of course, it is very normal not to get it back.
And after a round of land redistribution in Daizhou, they are less likely to want to get the property back.
But these are not within Li Po's consideration, because this matter always sounds uncomfortable.
Then Li Po also suddenly realized, this is to see that I entered Jinyang City, did not kill a single person, and made a lot of concessions, so that some people think that I am easy to talk?
It can be said that Wen Yanbo hit the iron plate headlong this time.
With his thoughts, speaking according to the law, returning to the mountains, forests and fields can stabilize the hearts of the people in Jinyang, and it is also a reasonable requirement, and the population of Daizhou is increasing, but it cannot be compared with the prosperous time.
There are a lot of surplus mountains, forests and fields under the name of the government, so the Jinyang family sent people to collect and cultivate, which is naturally much stronger than the government.
Overall, this should be a good thing.
The reason why he came to discuss with Li Po was that he still wanted to follow this example in the future, recruit people, or directly allow the land to be cultivated by wealthy people.
He couldn't measure the good or bad of what he thought, and there must be many disadvantages in the long run, but now, under the great decline in population, there are many barren people, and this is a good way to increase the output of the land.
But Li Po didn't think about these, at this time, his patience with the Jinyang clan had reached the limit, and when he was about to fight, someone came to ask him for this and there.
He was disgusted by the greedy faces of these people.
Without allowing Wen Yanbo to explain a lot, Li Po said: "After the war, there are a lot of ownerless things, do I have to send them back to the old owner?" ”
Wen Yanbo listened to the wrong voice, and looked at Li Po's face, if he changed someone else, he would definitely change the tone of his voice at this time and listen to what Li Po meant.
But he is more stubborn, which is a good point in his character, but it can also be said to be a disadvantage, in fact, it depends on who he follows.
At this time, he just shook his head slightly, and said: "Chief, the lower officials think that no matter what else, the land is up for discussion, and those who have land deeds and forest deeds should not be attributed to the old owner?" If the tigers and wolves are rampant today, the law is not held, and the law is not followed, what the governor did before is not different from this generation? What is the matter? ”
Li Po also shook his head, "You're wrong...... How much wealth do these people ask for land and property? ”
Wen Yanbo settled down, and got along with Li Po for a long time, he knew that this person who didn't talk about argumentation was okay, but he could also be called sharp, especially in some things, he often had his own unique opinions, and he was not a person who was a little soft in his ears.
With such an impression, Wen Yanbo is actually very willing to talk to Li Po, but there are not many opportunities to talk freely.
Therefore, he didn't think about the hardness of this iron plate, but smiled and continued: "The manager knowingly asked, such people naturally don't have four walls, but they are not rich families. ”
Li Po smiled, "In that case, they are begging for land and property for profit?" ”
Wen Yanbo disagreed a little, but after thinking about it, he still bowed slightly, "It's true." ”
Li Po's words followed, "How many people in Daizhou don't have three meals now, and their clothes are like beggars, they are good, they stay in Jinyang City, not to mention food and clothing, and there are still children in the family as officials, but now they still have to inch in, do you think it is easier to reach out to me?" ”
"Some time ago they asked me for a lord, and I gave them to them, and today they ask me for land, and if I also depend on them, what will they want tomorrow?"
"You are the Sima of the Governor's Mansion, not the mouthpiece of the Jinyang Gate Valve, you have to remember this...... After returning home, he ordered the Wei Mansion to send troops to send these people to Mayi for the crime of forging land deeds. ”
"Let the prince keep the land and property for them according to the law, and if any of the children in the family are officials, they will all be dismissed and live in Mayi, so let them go to the Cangshui River to build a city."
"I'll make up your mind about this today, and if there is anything like this in the future...... After thinking about it, talk to me about it. ”
Wen Yanbo touched the ash of his nose and left.
In addition to being depressed, he thought about it for a while, and also felt that Li Po had begun to gradually lose patience with these Jinyang clans, although the disposal was heavy, he still did not cut off anyone's head, it was just equivalent to exile a few families, next time, it is difficult to say.
And the timing of his speech is also very bad, this year's war is about to begin, and that person will inevitably be impatient......
Moreover, was it a temptation for those people to ask for land at this time?
He didn't take Li Po's reprimand seriously, but when he thought of this, he was shocked, and he originally planned to find a suitable time to advise, but his mind for a turn suddenly disappeared.
Then he will be ruthless after that, in order to prevent future troubles, he not only took out the few people who found Wen's door to speak, and interrogated them in turn.
In the cold weather, he asked people to pass the book to the Wei Mansion, and asked the Wei Mansion to send soldiers to send the five families, regardless of men, women, old and young, to Ma Yi, and let Ma Yi Taishou Wang Lu take care of it.
This time, there are not a few people implicated, many people became prisoners overnight, and some relatives have also been implicated to varying degrees.
In the end, there were eight families in Jinyang City who were convicted, and there were two fewer Jinyang gate valves, and the rest were all Shu clans.
Fortunately, they did not want to rebel, but when they saw that the two states had settled down, they joined together and wanted to regain the lost land.
It's a very simple purpose, although it smells of greed, but it's really not as serious as Wen Yanbo thought, and there aren't many people involved.
Especially with a big tree like the Jinyang Wang family, it has nothing to do with it.
Several people in the Wen family were also unlucky, and Wen Yanbo's hands were even more ruthless to his own family, and the two brothers were thrown by him to build a city by the Cangshui River, and the two nephews were broken by him.
This is a normal behavior for Wen Yanbo, neither for the sake of inviting fame nor for rectifying the family's reputation, he just feels that since he is an official, he must be strict with himself.
What is oneself, in addition to including oneself as a person, family members are also among them.
That is, there were no dead people in this case, otherwise, he would have cut off the heads of his own family members first.
Jinyang, which had been calm for a long time, finally produced a series of vibrations.
This is undoubtedly the first time that Li Po has taken the Jinyang ethnic group since he entered the state, and the effect is needless to say, people always say that the combination of grace and power is the real way of the emperor.
Then this time it can be regarded as a move of authority.
Subsequently, after Wen Yanbo gave Li Po, he ordered the two states to reissue the land deeds, house deeds and other things.
That is to say, in this year, the things issued by the Great Sui that year were completely invalidated in the two states, and no one dared to ask the governor's office for any lost property.
In general, Li Po did a fairly methodical job.
Most of the others came up to fight the local tyrants and divide the fields, Dou Jiande did the most thorough in this regard, and later reined in, not because of how wise Dou Jiande was, but because the gate valves in Hebei and Shandong are almost extinct, everyone wants to open a warehouse and release grain, in addition to not knowing where there is a granary, the rest are under their own names, so they are naturally optimistic.
Li Po is playing more insidious here, putting the step of fighting local tyrants behind, and the means are much gentler, and the majesty cast is much deeper.
Li Yuan didn't have the slightest intention of fighting local tyrants, and relied on the prestige that his family had accumulated over the years to come a long way.
And when he is in a disadvantageous situation, he will be troubled in some way, because there are too many local tyrants under his hands.
Li Po went down with this stick, and he hit it harder, and the terrible screams were faintly audible, but in the end, he didn't make much movement.
His position in Jinyang is not too stable, after all, the time is still short, but a series of decrees have indeed calmed the hearts of Jinyang's people.
The small case of forging the land deed did not cause him much trouble, and there were very few people who even pleaded for mercy.
As the first month gradually passed, the people in Jinyang City also smelled the fireworks, and at the end of January, Wang Zhibian, the lieutenant of Loufu County, first rushed to Jinyang with his troops, and the guards of the four cities of Jinyang were obviously stricter.
Sentinels haunted the south of Jinyang, and all those who went south were intercepted back, and they were first interrogated whether they were spies of the Tang Army.
Soon, two more families in Jinyang City were unlucky, and this time it was not exile, and more than a dozen bloody human heads fell off for the crime of collaborating with the enemy.
The hideous face of war became clearer in the blood.
Then Yuci Defender Yuwen Wok was recruited to Jinyang, and the Yuci Defender will be part of the southward army, and Li Po will not hand over his death to someone who does not have his trust.
This cousin of Yu Wenxin needs to prove his loyalty and talent in the future war.
At the beginning of February, Liu Jingsheng, the lieutenant of Yanmen County, and Chen Yuan, the lieutenant of Mayi County, led the troops to Jinyang, and the army gathered.
