"Master Hou, this place ...... What's going on? ”

"Oh......" Shepherd Li sighed and said, "I also guess, the words can be said in the front, everything about the land is subject to the announcement of the imperial court, and I am here to be obedient and obedient." ”

Everyone understood that Li Mu didn't want to take responsibility, and they all said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, we are all chatting." ”

"Yes, yes, chatting, don't count, don't count!" Li Mu echoed and said with a smile: "Speaking of this, it has something to do with the rise in grain prices a few days ago. ”

He glanced at the Shandong merchant and said, "Your Majesty is furious, although this matter has not caused any bloody disaster under my persuasion, and it has been fooled." But this incident seems to have given His Majesty a wake-up call. Later, His Majesty came to me several times and asked me a lot of questions. On one occasion, His Majesty asked me how many homeless people there were, whether there was labor among them, whether they could cultivate the land, if they used Zhenguan plows, if they did not plough oxen, whether they could plant, and so on. ”

I answered them one by one, but I couldn't help but think a lot. Think about it, why did Your Majesty ask about this at this juncture? I'm guessing, Your Majesty is probably angry with the Shandong Shi clan. Let's think about it, the current land policy of Datang, in fact, everyone understands what's going on. It is said that it is a Junda system, but in reality? All gates, all families, especially in densely populated Shandong, who doesn't have much land at home? ”

Li Mu said bitterly: "There is a lot of land in your hands!" If you follow the rules, you can have a tenth of the land in your hands, then it is a lot! ”

"Your Majesty is merciful, turns a blind eye and never says anything. But if you look at these things that the Shandong Shi clan has done, what have they done? People and gods are indignant! They planted land that didn't belong to them and got food, and they came to my Datang capital to raise prices! Use this as a basis to negotiate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs! I want to use this as a threat, and I want to mess with me Li! I want to give His Majesty a little ugly! I want to negotiate with Your Majesty and let their bullshit Confucians who got out of Chang'an come back! ”

"My God......" Li Mu asked Cangtian speechlessly, "How stupid, friends! ”

"Who are you Your Majesty? Faint? His Majesty is wise and powerful, decisive in killing, don't say anything far away, just say what is near, he ......" Li Mu gasped and said, "Did you destroy the Turks this year?" ”

That's what he said, and everyone listened to it, but that's not the case.

Li Mu's big pant was wonderful, and in everyone's ears, it was clear that what he wanted to say was another thing, and the words were temporarily changed to like this. So what is it that keeps him from saying? Not to mention the distance, but to talk about the progress, it is not a matter of exterminating the Turks, so it can only be the thing that cannot be mentioned.

Xuanwu Gate!

Only then did everyone suddenly understand what Li Mu meant, His Majesty is decisive in killing and decisive, those who go along will prosper, and those who oppose will die, this is by no means just talking. In order to become the emperor, he even killed his own brother! A person who can kill his own brothers, will he care about a businessman and a doorman?

Everyone shuddered, and the two Shandong businessmen sitting in the corner were even more frozen, as if they were swords and axes, and they didn't dare to come out.

"So, stupid, there is no cure! These people don't want to think that the four seas are not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Do you dare to rebel? Don't dare, can you rebel? Now that Datang has a million, it will definitely not be successful. Since you can't succeed, then you have to be honest, you play scheming with Your Majesty, you play tricks with Your Majesty, can you take advantage? ”

"Your Majesty is angry about this, so naturally he has to take this breath. How does this anger come out? Out of the land, of course. Based on some of the words I have heard during the few times I have been called by His Majesty, I have judged that His Majesty may be about to attack the land. ”

"As for the means, there are no more than a few. Check the land first, Datang is a uniform field system, and there is a number of places for each person. How do you count the extra out? Naturally, it's a retraction! In addition, the displaced people opened up the land and increased the land. I don't know anything else, anyway, if Your Majesty really wants to do this, with Zhenguan Plough, it will definitely be possible. By next year, the land will be multiplied, and so will the food. If there is no shortage of food, naturally no one will be able to raise the price of food. ”

"See, this is the anger of the Son of Heaven! How terrible is it? His Majesty didn't kill the troublemakers, but with this method, he directly forced them to death...... Alas, what a pitiful. ”

Saying that, Li Mu sighed, stood up and said: "I said this, it's not accurate, after all, this is a matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I am hearsay, guess blindly, don't go to your heart, it's not too early, it's all gone, thank you for your gift, I will return it another day." ”

When everyone heard such exciting news, how could they still be in the mood to care about what they didn't have to pay back, so they got up and said goodbye to Li Mu one by one, and walked out in a daze. Especially the two Shandong businessmen, they only rely on selling grain to eat, and now I heard that Li Shimin wants to check the land, is this still necessary? In the territory of Shandong, there is no need to check at all, there is not much land without a family, if Li Shimin enlightens this matter, it can be said that it is a quasi-child!

Although, they also understand. If Li Shimin really did this, the various ethnic groups in Shandong, who were cornered, might really pull the flag and rebel. But the matter is also divided into two ends, and Li Mu has already put down his words.

Can rebellion be done?

It must not be successful!

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the great chaos of Shandong, Shandong heroes rose together, in that era, there were people who wanted people, money and food, and in this case, Li Tang was allowed to dominate the country. And now, Li Tang's millions of male soldiers, who have just destroyed the Turks, are in high spirits, and there is no possibility of winning at all.

Even if it was a rebellion, it would only add some trouble to Li Tang. Once defeated, the Shandong Shi clan will be wiped out!

It's pitiful to think about, you play with others, at most, it is to let the family have one more bruise, and this bruise has to be exchanged for your own life! Which one is more and which is less, not a fool, they can all be distinguished.

Coming out of the phoenix, the cold wind blew, and the whole body was cold.

……

Li Mu couldn't rest when he returned to the backyard, and there were two big guys in the study who didn't answer correctly. As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Listening to the voice in the study, it didn't seem to be the two of them, Li Mu stood at the door and didn't move, called Xiaolan over, and whispered: "Take the tea and go in, see how many people there are?" ”

Before Xiaolan could respond, Li Shimin's voice came out: "Don't bother, come in, I came with the auxiliary machine, the prince and Qingque." ”

Li Mu's expression froze on his face, sighed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, of course I know that you are here, this is not to make tea for you." Go ahead, Xiaolan, and bring me the best tea leaves I have stir-fried with my own hands! ”

"Tea and tea, come in, I have something to ask you."

Li Mu had no choice but to go in. The study room, which was not very big, was already a little crowded with so many people. Li Mu glanced at Li Shimin, with a smile on his face, and said, "What is Your Majesty doing, how can you let Your Majesty come to me to pay New Year's greetings?"

"Who's coming to greet you for the New Year?" Li Shimin couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "I went out of the palace to Qingque's mansion to see if he lacked anything, and I caught up with Qingque to come to meet you, my teacher, so I came over together." I met Cheng Qian on the way, and he came to ask you for a map. ”

Li Mu glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Uncle ...... country"

The eldest grandson Wuji took over and said, "I came before Your Majesty, from the back door. ”

Li Mu suddenly suddenly, secretly admired the eldest grandson Wuji, and looked at why he could be the first person from the dragon, and he had a plan in his heart. Hit the front door and come over to fall a lot, like a dignified uncle, to a junior New Year's greetings, as if there is a request for others, from the back door is different, no one sees, no one gossips, it is really smart.

Li Mu slandered in his heart, and he couldn't say it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, don't blame me, you have pulled the eldest grandson Chong into a strong man, and you can't let him accompany him at home during the New Year." But it didn't delay, and I let him go back in the afternoon. ”

"Where is this, if there is something to do with the disciple, he is your apprentice, and it is his obligation."

Li Mu looked at Li Tai and said, "I've lost a little weight, but I still have to work hard, I'm still too fat." You have to study like the eldest grandson, you see that he has now changed from a waste of the child of the gentleman to the teaching of the child of the gentleman. I don't dare to say anything about my teacher, but I am proud enough to save a lost boy......"

"That's it!" Li Shimin interrupted Li Mu's boasting, glanced at Hou Junji, coughed lightly, and said, "I came late, I don't know what's going on." Uncle and Junji are here, are they looking for you to have something? Tell me what is going on. ”

Li Mu observed his words and felt that something was wrong. Looking at this situation, Hou Junji is here today, it seems that it was instructed by Li Shimin?

This possibility cannot be ruled out, Li Mu couldn't help but be vigilant for three points, still pretending to be stupid on the surface, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know, the minister is still strange, the king and the general are the elders of the boy, I should go to pay New Year's greetings to the two, how can I work for the two to come to me, it's really frustrating." ”

Wang Xindao, you still took me as an elder? If you treat me as an elder, you can't give me an eye cannon, so that I can't see people for half a month. If I don't come today, it's strange that you can come and pay me a New Year's greeting! If you don't want to do anything with me, I will burn incense and worship the Buddha.

He couldn't say anything about Li Mu in front of Li Shimin. Wang took over the conversation with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I came to ask if there is any news from my younger brother." When people are old, when it comes to the New Year, they miss their relatives. My youngest brother is forty years old behind me, and it is the first time that he has gone out so far away, how can he not worry about it and make His Majesty smile. ”

Li Shimin knew that Wang Pu had gone to Zhenla Kingdom, and when he heard this, he said: "It is normal for people to be like this, uncle does not need to be like this." After a pause, Li Shimin handed the words to Hou Junji's mouth and asked, "Junji, what are you doing here, I'm very curious!" ”
