Chapter 90 Public Land Law

The two were drunk all night, and finally ushered in a new day, when they saw Jia Yidao and Liren both drunk and lying on the ground. Jia Yidao's wife had been anxiously looking around because he had not returned all night. At this time, when she heard the maid's report, she knew that Jia Rudao and a stranger were drunk in the garden, she hurriedly took her family to the garden, and immediately panicked and beckoned the family to quickly carry the two into the house, and asked the maid to take good care of this stranger who everyone didn't know. The maid was curious, and they were all speculating about who this stranger was, since he could drink with his own master until now, and his own rich man was as frightened when he saw this person as a mouse saw a cat.

Let them guess wildly, they can't guess the true identity of this person. It wasn't until nearly 10 p.m. that the stranger rolled over and got up. He looked at his surroundings fixedly, touched the back of his head, called the maid, and took his leave after seeing his wife.

Today is the first time that Jia Rudao has been in the early dynasty of the new emperor since returning to the capital, and he came to the Jinluan Palace with the leadership of the eunuch. I saw that most of the people waiting in the side hall were actually the former ministers of the emperor, and many of them were veterans of the Three Dynasties.

At this time, the newly Yang Guogong Ren came to the side hall, and greeted everyone one by one with the smiling faces that everyone had been familiar with for more than a month. But don't say it, this kind of smiling face loved by people in the world is really the magic weapon of officialdom. Every old minister who had greeted Yang Guogong turned around and whispered praise to this Guogong who had made great contributions to the court, but no one said anything bad about him.

Although Jia Rudao did not occupy a high position among the courtiers, he must have been a person who had spent some time in the capital. He knew that neither the old minister nor the new minister would be so kind to a person who had just ascended to power, but if it was very kind, it meant that this person must be their comrade (the same party).

Why does this Yang Guogong have such high praise in his heart now? Jia Rudao was full of questions now, and just when he was whispering to himself, Yang Guogong Yang Liren walked up to him, looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Dao, don't come unharmed." Hehe, I'll go to your place another day and cook some flower chicken to eat. ”

Hearing the call of the flower chicken, Jia Rudao came out of his own world, and said with embarrassment: "Hehe, Lord Yang Guogong Yang, no matter when you come to our family to welcome." However," said Jia Rudao in Liren's ear: "However, don't come in over the wall at night, our house has a gate." ”

Li Ren smiled and whispered at the same time: "Don't worry, I will definitely beat the gong and drum in the future, so that your whole family will know." Hehe, but I'm going to come in over the wall again tomorrow, so I'll say hello to you first. ”

A eunuch entered the side hall and shouted loudly: "The morning court has begun, all the lords, please go to the temple." ”

The arrival of the eunuch interrupted the conversation between Liren and Jia Yidao, and they slowly followed everyone to the side of the orderly stand on both sides of the Jinluan Palace. At this time, the eunuch next to the dragon chair announced loudly: "The emperor has arrived~~~." ”

Suddenly, Jia Rudao and most of his ministers all knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." When they finished chanting, he was so anxious that he looked up curiously to see the new emperor, but when he looked up, what he saw was that Yang Guogong, Wei Liaoweng, Zhen Dexiu and other five people did not kneel down at all, they just stood and shouted to the emperor three times.

At this time, he looked towards the throne, and saw a child of more than ten years old wearing a dragon robe, looking at everyone kneeling below with a childish face. There is actually a bead curtain behind the little emperor, and you can see more clearly that there are people behind the curtain. I only heard the person behind the curtain say in an old woman's voice: "The Qin family is flat." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie, Emperor Xie." At this time, Jia Rudao knew that it was actually Empress Dowager Yang after the bead curtain.

I only heard Empress Dowager Yang ask: "The Qin family has something to do early, and there is nothing to retreat from." ”

"Empress Dowager, the minister has a play." I saw Yang Guogong standing up early, holding the ivory board in his hand, thinking about the queen mother in a regular manner.

The Queen Mother said: "Yang Aiqin, if there is anything, report it quickly." ”

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, the former Marshal of Xiangyang Soldiers and Horses Jia Rudao returned to the DPRK the day before yesterday and has been filed in the Ministry of War." Liren said lightly.

At this time, I only heard that the Empress Dowager Yang still asked very calmly: "Oh, very good, can the seal letter be withdrawn?" ”

"Empress Dowager, the things of the seal have been returned to the military department." After saying that, Rihito didn't stand back, but was still there.

"Good." When Empress Dowager Yang said this, she saw that Liren did not return to the team, so she immediately asked: "Yang Aiqin, what else do you have, report it together." ”

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, there is one more thing about Weichen, which is about the food supply of our army in the future."

"Oh, is our army short of food now?" Empress Dowager Yang was a little confused.

At this time, the squire of the military department hurriedly stood up and sang a duet with Liren: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, our army has not been fed with food and grass, this is just Lord Yang's conjecture." ”

Li Ren seemed to have known that this military squire would stand up, and he was not surprised at all and said: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, I am not guessing, but I have used the past half a month to make a count of all the grain and grass used by our army for many years, and calculated that our army will be short of food. ”

At this time, Wei Liaoweng, who was already the right prime minister, stood up and reported to the Empress Dowager Yang: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, what Yang Guogong said is true or false, and it is also what Weichen wants to say today." ”

"Oh. Could it be that my Great Song Dynasty is so short of food now? When Empress Dowager Yang heard the echo of the right prime minister, she immediately felt that this matter was not simple, and she immediately asked: "Hubu Shangshu, is this thing true?" ”

At this time, Hu Mengyu, the new secretary of the household department, hurriedly stood up, bowed to the queen mother and said: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, after several wars with the Northern Yuan people, the storage of grain is not much, and it will not be long before it will be as Yang Guogong said." ”

Empress Dowager Yang paused now, then looked at the courtiers and asked, "Everyone, Aiqin, is there a way to deal with it?" ”

Suddenly, when everyone heard the Queen Mother's inquiry, they all stopped talking, waiting for a big wrongdoer to come out. Empress Dowager Yang looked at it for a long time and frowned and said, "Isn't there anything you love to do?" ”

At this time, Li Ren stood up first and said: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, if you want to say that there is a way, then only Jia Rudao Jia has a way to save our army's food shortage." ”

Jia Rudao was listening and listening, and suddenly heard Liren saying that he had a way, he was stunned for a moment, and he just scolded Liren in his heart. But just when he was scolding, Empress Dowager Yang's summoning voice also came out: "Oh." Where, is Jia Aiqin here? ”

Jia Nidao hurriedly stood up and reported loudly to the Empress Dowager Yang: "Empress Dowager Qi, Jia Rudao came back to report on the order." ”

Empress Dowager Yang knew Jia Yidao, and as soon as she saw him stand up, she immediately asked with a smile on her face: "Since Jia Aiqin has returned, then you can tell me if there is any way to solve the problem of food and grass for our army." ”

"This~~" Jia Rudao was suddenly a little speechless, and thought in his heart, how do I know what to do, this Yang Guogong is really good at tossing people.

Liren next to him saw that Jia Rudao was a little speechless now, he laughed a little, and then said to him: "Lord Jia, didn't you mention the Gongtian Law when we talked all night when you came back?" Have you forgotten? ”

What is the Gongtian Law, why don't I know, now Jia Yidao's heart is extremely uncomfortable. However, seeing that the Queen Mother asked this, Jia Rudao only said to the Queen Mother first: "I told Yang Guogong a little about the Queen Mother, but this is just Weichen's preliminary idea." ”

"Oh! Preliminary assumptions, Jia Aiqin is really modest. Empress Dowager Yang obviously didn't believe it, and hurriedly asked if she didn't want this Jia Nidao to say what she thought in her heart.

Jia Rudao's face suddenly turned red, and he thought that since Li Ren was reminding him beside him, he must know everything about this so-called Gongtian Law. He suddenly said: "Empress Dowager Qi, Weichen has only come back not long ago, and led Lord Yang to come to the cold house to drink, what Weichen said when he was drunk, things, now I can't remember it, since Yang Guogong can chat with the humble position at that time, Yang Guogong already knows the method, or ask the Queen Mother to ask Yang Guogong." ”

Empress Dowager Yang didn't expect that Jia Rudao was shirking now, she suddenly shook her head and asked Liren: "Yang Aiqin, it's better for you to talk about it." ”

"Empress Dowager Qiqi, what Lord Jia said at home that day is like this." Li Ren bought a pass and said: "The so-called public land law is to limit the amount of land owned by large landlords, and more than one-third of the land is bought by the government as public land, and the public land is handed over to tenants for cultivation, and then the tenant rent is used as military rations. This method can achieve the two purposes of suppressing land and dispatching military rations. ”

"What?" Suddenly, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the adults below looked at Jia Rudao next to him with stinky expressions.

At first, Jia Rudao thought that the beauty was just talking about leftovers, so that everyone could find something to do. But I didn't expect Liren to be so bold and dare to openly call war against many Confucian landlords in the world. But when he thought about it, it seemed that Rihito had already transferred the disaster to himself.

This question seems to have offended not only the ministers of civil and military affairs, but also the Empress Dowager Yang's family, who are now listening to the government.
