Chapter 179: The Son of Heaven Arrives in Person
"The Son of Heaven has arrived!" Liu Ping said a word to the two confused maidservants, and when he went out, he saw the emperor and Empress Fu standing outside the door.
Tai Shici and Zhang Liao stood helplessly behind.
The emperor said that he wanted to drive the Liu Mansion, and they couldn't stop it, and it was a great honor for the emperor and empress to come to the courtier's mansion.
"Your Majesty and the Empress are here, and the humble house is shining," Liu Ping hurriedly said: "The minister will arrange for his family to take over." ”
"That's it, etiquette is waived," Liu Xie looked around, pointed to the pavilions in the distance and said with a joking smile: "Liu Qing is also a humble house?" ”
"The ministers are afraid," Liu Ping hurriedly said, if in other dynasties, the emperor said this to the courtiers, the courtiers would be really panicked, but in front of today's son, Liu Ping couldn't be afraid.
Liu Xie didn't mind, and walked into the study with the queen, but met Xiao Cheng and Qin Luofu, who were already scared.
The two of them were still thinking that their master might not be a big official as others say.
Unexpectedly, the emperor came in person.
At this time, I suddenly saw a young man wearing twelve black crowns and wearing a crown robe, could it really be the emperor?
"Bold, how can you not worship the emperor and queen?" Tai Shi Ci rushed forward and said loudly, but he winked at the two of them.
"Presumably this is Liu Qing's concubine, General Taishi, don't scare them," Queen Fu spoke in a very light tone, but there was a bit of majesty in her tone.
"No!" Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists.
Xiao Cheng and Qin Luofu woke up from a dream at this time, convinced that it was really the emperor and empress standing in front of them.
"Slave...... The slave maid saw His Majesty the Emperor, and the queen ......" The two hurriedly bowed down, and their hearts were shocked, and they couldn't say anything.
This is the emperor and queen who can only be heard in legends, and I never thought that I could see such an identity.
It seems that what those people said is true that their master became a big official, otherwise the emperor and queen would have come to the mansion in person.
"Let's be flat," Liu Xie raised his right hand, and the two of them lay on the ground without moving, they didn't understand what it meant to be flat.
Empress Fu stepped forward and said softly: "It's okay to get up, you can accompany the palace to talk elsewhere." ”
The two got up and followed behind Queen Fu tremblingly, going to the courtyard to enjoy the scenery, but they were worried in their hearts, not knowing that the master imprisoned the imperial concubine, and the emperor knew.
If you don't know, wouldn't it be bad if you were suddenly bumped into by the emperor?
"Those palace concubines, where is Liu Qing imprisoned, take the palace to see," Queen Fu said lightly.
Xiao Cheng and Qin Luo looked at each other, and the hanging heart finally let go.
……
Tai Shici and Zhang Liao were guarding the door on the left and behind, and only Liu Ping and Liu Xie were left in the study.
"The slave's lack of tutoring makes His Majesty smile," Liu Ping said.
"It's okay," Liu Xie stood in front of the window, looking at the rockery outside through the window, and said in a gentle voice: "I heard that Cao Qing has begun to recruit homeless people to Tuntian, and they are distributed according to the official six people and four people, I don't know what Qing thinks?" ”
"This is indeed harsh," Liu Ping said honestly: "But when there is a big chaos today, the princes are divided, and Xu Du is in the land of four wars, and it cannot be guarded by heavy troops."
There are many soldiers, and food and grass are naturally indispensable, and the general has no choice but to do this. ”
"I came to Xudu to reward farmers, but Cao Qing is so harsh, wouldn't it chill the hearts of farmers all over the world," Liu Xie's tone was full of helplessness: "It's a pity that I just asked Cao Qing, and Cao Qing's words are the same as Qing's."
In order for me to defend the capital, I have to hoard heavy troops, and the soldiers need grain and grass, and if they need grain and grass, they will exploit the people.
I came to Xudu, is it to encourage farmers or harm farmers? ”
Now the emperor has Kong Rong, Wang Lang Xunyue and other literati around him, although the emperor does not often go out of the palace, but those people live outside the palace, Cao's Tuntian strategy naturally can't hide from their ears, of course the emperor can know.
The division of officials and six people and four is simply absurd in the eyes of those talkers, and they have not been so oppressive to the people since ancient times.
The emperor was influenced by them and felt that it was too much, so he summoned Cao Cao and wanted Cao Cao to order a recuperation and recuperation, so as to benefit the people, but Cao Cao was scolded back with Liu Ping's words just now.
The emperor was depressed, so he thought that Liu Ping was still reasonable, and wanted Liu Ping to persuade his father-in-law not to be so harsh on the people.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Ping's words were exactly the same as his father-in-law, and the emperor was even more depressed at this time.
In the final analysis, the people are all the people of his Han family, and Cao Cao is a homeless person recruited under the banner of the imperial court.
It's a pity that he attaches too much importance to Liu Ping, but he forgets that Liu Ping is Cao Cao's son-in-law, and he is naturally consistent with Cao Cao in major politics.
"I don't know how to cultivate my native field?" Liu Xie turned around, and his tone was much heavier: "Does Qing also want to exploit the people like this?" ”
"The minister has already thought about it," Liu Ping replied calmly: "There are about 100,000 acres of land in Xu County, and the minister is ready to recruit 2,000 homeless households, divide them equally among each household according to the population, and directly sign a contract with them for 70 years or 100 years, and let them cultivate freely. ”
"This ......" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils couldn't help shrinking, he thought that Liu Ping's native field cultivation would be exactly the same as Cao's Tuntian Strategy, but he never expected that Liu Ping's Tuntian Policy and Cao's Tuntian Ce were earth-shattering.
As for Cao's cultivation according to the military establishment and Liu Ping's free cultivation, Liu Xie can't say, but Liu Ping's distribution ratio is reversed from Cao's, and in comparison, this is already a concession to the people.
Liu Xie couldn't help but rekindle hope for Liu Ping, his tone was much softer, and he muttered: "It's just ...... Is there more official four?
Qing doesn't have to care about me, worshipping the ancestors depends on the heart, not on the number of goods, as long as the people who cultivate the land can have enough food and clothing, I would rather give up all the benefits. ”
He can't control the Cao family, but he can always control the hometown, in order to leave a good reputation in the hearts of the people of the hometown, he only set aside the income of sacrificing ancestors, and don't admit it.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much," Liu Ping said confidently: "As far as the minister knows, although Xu Du is registered to cultivate 100,000 mu of land, there are also many wastelands, corners, and mountains that are not registered. ”
Liu Xie looked at Liu Ping, it turned out that he had already made arrangements in his heart.
Although this sounds harsh, it is much more lenient than Cao's Tuntian Ce.
"In this way, this Tian Zhen will be completely entrusted to Yu Qing, if the people are not living today, this mistake can also be secretly calculated for me at that time, I will personally farm, and the output will be used to worship the ancestors and ancestors, and make amends to the ancestors.
The Secretary of State shall not inform anyone else about this matter. ”
