Seeing that the two old men had no intention of greeting again, Zhao Dongting glanced at Li Yuanxiu, got up and said, "Two seniors, I will leave first." ”

Hong Wutian didn't speak, and Xiang Dongyang just said, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

When Zhao Dongting first came in, there was an earnest look in his eyes, but at this time, he was inexplicably indifferent.

Li Yuanxiu couldn't see the arrogance of these two old men, snorted slightly, and walked out with Zhao Dongting.

Outside, Zhao Dongting closed the door. Walking to the Zhizhou Mansion, Li Yuanxiu couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Why is the emperor so polite to that rude beggar?" ”

Hong Wutian and Xiang Dongyang, he obviously looked at Hong Wutian more unpleasantly. Of course, it may also be that the chess opponent has a desire to win.

Zhao Dongting said with a smile: "Senior Hong's martial arts are extraordinary, and he is a person from the rivers and lakes, not like your father-in-law, who stays in the palace all year round, and it is normal for him to be arrogant and outstanding." ”

Li Yuanxiu said indignantly: "But he actually claimed to be the emperor, which is simply an unforgivable sin." ”

He was full of devotion to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting said: "Senior Hong bluntly said that he was a beggar emperor, and he kept claiming that he was 'my dynasty', which shows that he is an open-minded person. Compared to those who secretly want to rebel like Ge Lijun, he is much more trustworthy. ”

Li Yuanxiu was slightly stunned and stopped talking.

At this time, Hong Wutian and Xiang Dongyang, the two elders in the house, were also talking.

Hong Wutian asked with a smile: "You old man, you always talk about nostalgia on weekdays, but this time the emperor is here, why did you put up a shelf and stop talking halfway through the words?" He also did not ask the emperor to be admitted. ”

Xiang Dongyang smiled and only said, "What do you think of the emperor?" ”

Hong Wutian said: "Although he is young, he is confident, broad-minded, and modest, and he will be a rare Emperor of Shengming in my Song Dynasty in the future." ”

Xiang Dongyang said: "Then why didn't you say that you want those little beggars under your command to join the army and serve the country?" ”

Hong Wutian pinched the chess pieces in his hand, and his expression became a little serious, "If he can really govern this Leizhou well, there is no need for me to persuade more, and the brothers of our beggar gang will be willing to resist the Yuan thief." If he can't even govern Leizhou well, even if he exterminates the Yuan thieves in the future, the world will not be peaceful, so it would be much better for me to let my brothers beg for a living in peace. ”

Xiang Dongyang said again: "Then what if I govern this Leizhou Mansion?" ”

Hong Wutian chuckled and said, "Although you sour old man can't do anything else, but you can no longer talk about governing government affairs." Hey...... What do you mean, or have you decided to go out of the mountain to assist the emperor? ”

"Hehe, my book full of poetry is still worth some money."

Xiang Dongyang said: "I took the initiative to ask, the emperor is afraid that he will not pay attention to me." ”

Hong Wutian instantly understood Xiang Dongyang's plan, "It turns out that you, the old man, still want to take advantage of the emperor and sell it at a price!" Aren't you afraid that you will die of old age and have no chance to display your ambitions? ”

Xiang Dongyang said seriously: "Kong said that the good birds choose the trees to perch, and the virtuous ministers choose the lord to do things, if the emperor doesn't pay attention to me, then I would rather never be out of office." ”

Hong Wutian nodded lightly, "You are right, but the old man just looked at it, and the emperor doesn't seem to have any intention of soliciting you!" He asked you why the system of dividing the fields is difficult, and asked you why the spark of the spark started the prairie fire, if you say those thoughts in your heart, he will definitely invite you to come out, but you old fellow is arrogant, but you don't say it. When I look at him, he seems to be a little angry in my heart! ”

Xiang Dongyang said: "During the Three Kingdoms, Uncle Liu Huang asked Zhuge for three visits to the thatched house, and I was not good at marching and fighting, but when it came to governing the government and developing the place, I thought I was not under Zhuge . If the little emperor has a common heart and doesn't get an answer from me this time, he will come back to inquire. If he doesn't come, it can only mean that he doesn't pay enough attention to the matter of dividing the land, and he doesn't pay enough attention to the people of Li. What is the use of me giving him advice? ”

Hong Wutian chuckled, no longer answered, and only said, "Play chess, play chess." ”

Then the two continued to play against each other.

Here, as soon as Zhao Dongting returned to the dormitory, he said to Li Yuanxiu: "Father-in-law, prepare some exquisite fruits tomorrow, and then accompany me to my hometown." ”

Li Yuanxiu was puzzled: "Your Majesty, what are you doing at his house?" ”

He has always been haunted by Hong Wutian and Xiang Dongyang's arrogance.

Think about it, whose house is the emperor not allowed to be hospitalized?

But those two old guys only made a cup of tea, and then ignored it. That Hong Wutian is even more hateful, he doesn't even kneel, it's very rude.

Zhao Dongting knew Li Yuanxiu's thoughts, and said softly: "Father-in-law just do what I say." ”

When a person is still arrogant in old age, he must have extraordinary abilities. Zhao Dongting had a conclusion on this point in his previous life.

Another day passed.

The next night, Zhao Dongting didn't go to the roof in a daze again, let Li Yuanxiu go to the roof to see, and learned that the lights were on in Xiang Dongyang's house, so he carried the fruit and took Li Yuanxiu to Xiang Dongyang's house in civilian clothes.

knocked on the door outside, and it was still Hong Wutian who opened the door.

Seeing that it was Zhao Dongting, Hong Wutian was slightly surprised and said, "Why did the emperor come again?" ”

Zhao Dongting said with a smile: "I haven't been sleepy in the palace yet, come and see the two seniors." ”

With that, he himself carried the fruit through the door and into the inner room.

Xiang Dongyang sat on the seat, and when he saw Zhao Dongting arrive, his eyes flashed with joy, but he didn't show it, but just said: "The old man has seen the emperor." ”

"Seniors don't need to be formal."

Zhao Dongting put the fruit on the table and said, "I came to visit in a hurry last night, and it was rude, so I brought some fruit today, and asked my seniors to accept it." ”

Xiang Dongyang was not polite, and immediately asked Hong Wutian to wash the fruit, and said in his mouth: "Why did the emperor come to the cold house again?" ”

Hong Wutian had nothing to eat, so he went out with the fruit with a smile.

Zhao Dongting said: "I heard from my predecessors last night that it was feasible but difficult to divide the fields, I went back and thought about it until late at night, but I didn't think of any proper solution. ”

Originally, in Zhao Dongting's imagination, there was a large army pressing the formation, and the system of dividing fields should not be too difficult. But the situation in the past two days told him that he had underestimated the arrogance of these nobles and gentry in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In just the two days since the promulgation of the decree on the division of land, there have been one after another gentry making trouble. Some of them gathered in the fields and did not allow the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture to measure the land, and even worse, they spoke ill of the officials and gave them sticks. Most of these gentry have connections, the imperial court does not send troops, the government is actually hindered left and right, and there are officials who complain to the upper side. This made Zhao Dongting and Lu Xiufu very troubled.

But those gentry didn't go too far, and sent troops to suppress it, which seemed to be too trivial.

Zhao Dongting said that he asked for advice, not because of kind words, but because he really didn't have any good ideas in his heart.

Xiang Dongyang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The emperor really wants to listen to the old man's humble opinion? ”

Zhao Dongting said: "I sincerely ask, and I also ask my seniors for guidance." ”

Xiang Dongyang asked again: "The emperor thinks, why did the nobles of Leizhou Mansion obstruct the division of fields?" ”

Zhao Dongting replied: "I want to distribute the land of Leizhou evenly among the people, and their fields are deprived and their interests are damaged, so they are naturally obstructed. ”

"According to old age, but not only that."

Xiang Dongyang shook his head slightly, "These nobles are extremely wealthy, and they have a lot of property, and if they lose some land, the real damage is not too big. ”

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but groan when he heard this, and then said: "In this case, I also promised the people that the policy of tax reduction and exemption would be implemented, and the interests of the nobles would be less damaged, so why did they block it so violently?" ”

As he spoke, he also took out the tax reduction and exemption regulations presented to him by Lu Xiufu from his sleeve and handed them to Xiang Dongyang.

Xiang Dongyang took a closer look, suddenly left the table and knelt down, and sighed: "The emperor cares about the people of Li, which is really a blessing for the common people......"

Zhao Dongting hurriedly helped him up and said, "It's a pity that this matter of dividing the field is obstructed, and if it really wants to be implemented, I don't know when it will be obtained." ”

Xiang Dongyang understood Zhao Dongting's meaning, knew that he was inducing himself, and he didn't care, so he said: "Your Majesty, in fact, according to the old man, those nobles are not really concerned about the land, but about their faces. ”

After reading Zhao Dongting's tax reduction and exemption policy, he concluded that Zhao Dongting's division of land was really for the sake of Li Min, and he didn't plan to hide it anymore at the moment.

When Zhao Dongting heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Face? ”

Xiang Dongyang said: "Yes." The people regarded them as nobles, because their families had fertile land and leaned forward, which was a special favor to them by the imperial court. But if the court takes back their land, it means that this grace is gone, and they are no different from ordinary people, except for their families. At that time, the nobles were no longer nobles, and how could they be willing for the court to take back the land? ”

When Zhao Dongting heard Xiang Dongyang say this, he suddenly felt like he was sudden.

Yes, I only thought about the interests of these nobles, but I didn't think about their faces.

In ancient times, the wealthy and noble lords were not reflected in the large family houses and many fertile fields?

Collecting their land, even if they have other ways to make money, they can't reflect the status of ordinary people.
