These days, Mulan has been busy with her women's poetry conference, and Zhao Junsheng doesn't care about her, only occasionally asking about the progress of this matter.

On this day, Zhao Junsheng was dealing with the chapter, and the eunuch outside the door came in to report: "King, Zhao Yang has something to ask for an audience in the imperial history!" ”

"Let him in!"

Zhao Yang served as the imperial history in the Pingcheng court at first, and has always been known for his uprightness in the court, and was later sent to Jizhou, and was investigated in Jizhou for several years, Gao Yun served Zhao Junsheng when he was the assassin of Jizhou, Zhao Yang could not go back to Pingcheng, and received Zhao Junsheng's expedition, so he had to go to Qianjing to serve, in view of Zhao Yang's reputation, Zhao Junsheng appointed him to be in charge of the imperial history of the imperial history of the city, the imperial history platform was restructured by the Youzhou supervision yamen presided over by Hua Mulan, at the beginning of the officials themselves were not many, with the rapid increase in the territory controlled by Zhao Junsheng, The imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory are even more insufficient.

Zhao Yang walked in under the leadership of the eunuch to greet him: "Minister Zhao Yang greets the king!" ”

Zhao Junsheng put down the pen, looked up at Zhao Yang and asked, "Is it okay for Zhao Qing to come to see Lone?" ”

"King Qiyu, the minister was ordered to jointly try with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple in Dingzhou Beiping County Cheng Guan Xin and Puyin County Ling Gui Danian, County Lieutenant Wenpan and others who blatantly violated the regulations of the imperial court and the government to lend government livestock to the rich and wealthy families to seek violence, and now the trial of the case has come to an end, the truth has been revealed, this is the relevant interrogation record, please take a look at it!"

The eunuch took the piece in Zhao Yang's hand, turned around and walked towards the imperial case, and handed it to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng took the chapter and read it carefully, put down the chapter after a moment of silence and asked, "How does Zhao Qing think this case should be judged?" ”

Zhao Yang bowed and said, "The minister doesn't dare to be arbitrary, and ask the king to rule!" ”

"What's the opinion on marble?"

"Back to the king, the opinion of Dali Temple is that this kind of case of blatant disobedience to the imperial court decree must be severely punished, and other officials must be exemplified! Otherwise, the other magistrates will follow suit, and the decrees of the imperial court will not be able to reach the local area and will not be effectively enforced! ”

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment, "Guan Xin, Gui Danian, Wen Pan and others did not recite the grace of the imperial court and did not think of serving the country loyally, but openly violated the imperial court decree and collaborated with local wealthy businessmen to embezzle the livestock of the imperial court for huge profits, and they should be beheaded!" Song Yu, who is too guarded, has not been diligent in official duties since he took office, but has accepted bribes and indulged in seeking immortals, which is a serious dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty! From now on, he will be dismissed from his official position and sentenced to five years in prison, never to be hired! ”

There is a Hanlin editor next to it to quickly record, and after Zhao Junsheng finishes reading, he will polish it, copy it with a special royal edict, stamp the jade seal, and then send the envoy to Dali Temple.

Although Zhao Junsheng has the right of final adjudication, the disposition of the offender is still to be judged by the Dali Temple, so after the edict is sent to the Dali Temple, the Dali Temple will sentence the prisoner, and then hand it over to the Criminal Department for review and execution.

Generally, in cases adjudicated by Zhao Junsheng, the review is just a formality, even if the judgment is wrong, no objections can be raised during the review process, the king's order is the king's order, and the wrong is also right.

Zhao Junsheng remembered something and asked, "What is the name of the farmer who sued the official, is he still in Qianjing now?" ”

"If you go back to the king, his name is Wang Tietou, and he should still be in Qianjing!"

"That's okay, pass the decree, reward him with ten brocades, ten gold, and 100,000 money, and make him a man from Puyin County!"

Zhao Yang came back to his senses after half a sound, thinking in his heart, what does the king mean by this? Encourage? Or give Wang Tietou a protective cover?

The Hanlin editor next to him was worried about how to write this edict, to give a person a knighthood, that person must have merit, and there must be a reason to be canonized, Zhao Junsheng then canonized him as a Puyin County man according to a sentence, how to write this edict?

Zhao Junsheng spoke at this time: "Since ancient times, suing officials with the people has been regarded as Diao Min, and Lone does not quite agree that the people can arbitrarily sue officials, but in this case, Guan Xin, Gui Danian, Wen Pan and others disobeyed the imperial decree for personal gain, and the nature is completely different from other cases of civil lawsuits. If no one complains, no one pokes out this matter, and the horse policy promulgated by the imperial court does not know what it will be like in Dingzhou. In this case, from the princes and ministers to the common people, they can sue this kind of person! The common people Wang Tietou is not only innocent, but also meritorious! ”

Hanlin Editor now has a score in his heart, knowing that Zhao Junsheng wants to set Wang Tietou as an example, and in the future, if there are officials in various places who violate the provisions of the imperial court decrees, who plot rebellion, and who have colluded with foreign enemies, anyone can report and sue them.

Hmm, Hanlin edited and quickly wrote a canonization edict, Zhao Junsheng looked at the contents, and stamped the jade seal when he felt satisfied!

Zhao Yang looked at this scene and knew that the person named Wang Tietou was now developed, if he was not canonized by Zhao Junsheng, Wang Tietou's fate would definitely be very miserable, even if Guan Xin, Gui Danian and Wen Pan and the family members of others did not kill him, the local officials would make it difficult for him everywhere and make him unable to live, after all, no one wanted to have such a Diao people under his rule, but now with Zhao Junsheng's canonization and reward, this is equivalent to giving Wang Tietou a protective umbrella.

Ma Zheng was a major decree after the Qianguo state, and this policy had a bearing on the future national economy, people's livelihood, and army building in the Qianguo, and Zhao Junsheng kept an eye on it, asking for news from various places every day.

Since batch after batch of herdsmen recruited from the northern barbarians were dispatched to various counties, Zhao Junsheng received feedback from all over the country that the farmers had been taught by the herdsmen the methods and experience of feeding their animals and how to prevent them from losing fat and getting sick.

The number of sick and dead animals is gradually and rapidly decreasing, and the livestock are growing stronger day by day, not to mention, the nomads graze and feed their animals from childhood to adulthood are different, and they have their own set of how to feed the livestock.

However, there are also some methods that are not adapted to the water and soil, and some herdsmen's methods and experiences in grazing and feeding livestock in the north are not effective in the south of the Yellow River, but these barbarian herdsmen are all veterans of feeding livestock, and they soon know the reason, and after the method is improved, it is also very open and improved.

The feedback received from the counties made Zhao Junsheng feel relieved, and the situation was stabilized, and the next step was to rely on the officials sent by the imperial court to supervise the continuous implementation of the decree, and on the other hand, to rely on the farmers to feed carefully, and the officials of the agricultural technology station to guide them.

Pei Jin said to Zhao Junsheng: "King, judging from the current situation, the implementation of Ma Zheng should not be a big problem, but this matter is not over, and the next step is how to protect the interests of the farmers!" The minister was worried that the peasants fed their livestock, but they could not sell them at a price, and the livestock dealers were desperately lowering the price, and the money was made by the middle dealers, and the farmers could not even earn a single hard-earned money, so the enthusiasm of the peasants would be greatly hit! ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded, Pei Jin thought it through, how to protect the interests of farmers has always been a historical issue, grain prices are low in harvest years, and when grain prices are high, it is a famine year, and grain output is not high.

"Is there anything you can do about it?"

Pei Jin hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "I don't know what the king thinks about issuing a decree in the name of the imperial court, stipulating that the purchase price of grain and livestock shall not be lower?" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and agreed: "Try it for a few years first, with a limit of five years, if the administrative intervention of the imperial court in the purchase price of grain and livestock can protect the interests of farmers and increase their income, then it will be implemented forever, if there is a problem, then think of other ways!" ”

The peasants are fundamental, and as long as the peasants can be guaranteed food and clothing, the peasants will support the rule of the Qianguo and everything else will be easy to do, and no matter how great the turbulence in the Qianguo is, it will not affect the foundation.

In terms of land property, the imperial court stipulated that each household could only own a maximum of 1,000 mu, so the land owned by the nobles, eunuchs, and wealthy families could not exceed 1,000 mu, and the original surplus land property should be sold, and if it was not sold within the specified time limit, it would be forcibly collected by the government as public land; It is also forcibly stipulated that each peasant household is not allowed to buy or sell land with an area of less than 20 mu.

This means that only more than 20 acres can the surplus land be sold on the premise of retaining 20 acres, which ensures that no matter what happens, each peasant family will have at least 20 acres of land to cultivate and will not starve to death.

Why Zhao Junsheng dared to do this was because during this period, almost all the big landlords were Xianbei nobles, and what he wanted to suppress was the Xianbei nobles, and disperse the land to as many people as possible.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng could use his prestige to do many things, such as this administrative intervention in the purchase price of grain and livestock, and set a minimum purchase price.

If it were in the Southern Dynasties, this kind of administrative intervention in grain prices would never be enforced, and even if the emperor issued a holy decree, there would definitely be many ministers who would risk their lives to stand up and admonish them, and they would be able to come up with a lot of reasons for their own interests to force the emperor to retract his order.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng issued an edict that intervening in prices by administrative means would not infringe on the interests of the ministers and nobles, and no one would oppose him if his own interests were not harmed.

However, the nobles of the Qianguo country will definitely try their best to seek benefits for themselves, and the founding heroes will also form a new aristocratic gate valve group one by one, and this is only a matter of time.

Zhao Junsheng knew this very well, and he asked Pei Jin: "Pei Jin, do you know who the richest people in Dawei were back then?" ”

Pei Jin said: "It should be those Xianbei nobles, they have formed a new gate valve in just thirty or forty years, they have military power, a large number of fields, and a large number of shops and caravans!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Why can they be so rich?" ”

"Because they have the right!"

"Will the founding feats and ministers of my country gradually form a new gate valve and family?"

Pei Jin said in his heart that this is certain, no dynasty can escape this law, but there is a Zhao Junsheng in Qianguo who has long been prepared for a rainy day, when he was still the history of Youzhou Thorn, he promulgated the separation system, after the man gets married, he must divide the family, industry and property, which to a certain extent greatly and effectively curbs the birth of the gate valve and the big family.

"My lord, the minister thought that the division system you promulgated earlier would try to prolong the formation time of the new gate valves and families, but this does not prevent them from being born, and the minister has a strategy, maybe he can put shackles on these new gate valves and families!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Let's talk about it!" ”

"Your Majesty, you have issued a decree limiting the maximum number of lands that each household may own, preventing the emergence of large landowners, and preventing land annexation; It is stipulated that the amount of land owned by each household is less than 20 mu and cannot be sold, which ensures that each household will not starve to death in the short term, even if they are poor; Why don't you issue any more edicts restricting nobles, court ministers, officials, and private merchants? For example, it stipulates that officials and their families and children are not allowed to engage in commercial and trade activities, stipulates that no matter who does business, they must pay a prescribed amount of commercial tax, and they are not allowed to evade taxes. stipulate that no businessman shall raise prices by a large margin in a year of famine······
