Chapter 219: Confusing Land Reform
The people of Pei Mansion are dead, and Cai Cong's two hundred archers are too terrifying. Before the rebels inside rushed out of Pei's Mansion to make trouble, most of them were shot by the archers' crossbows, and the rest of the people hid in Pei's Mansion and were lit by the archers, and the smell of burnt meat in Pei's Mansion can make people sick across a few streets.
Sister Cai'er When they came back, they laughed one by one, especially Sister Cai, who was complimented by a group of noble ladies today, they have a lot of good things, those noble ladies don't want Sister Cai to do whatever they want to do, no one cares, in order to please men, the Cai family has to have beautiful clothes customized, and some spices for bathing have to be made. There are also some people who want a full-length mirror, so they almost mess up and call Sister Cai an aunt.
Sister Cai's Lang jumped away, she should go and prepare those things for those noble ladies. That's a lot of money! Don't say anything about the face of the aristocracy, Sister Cai is a peasant woman in her bones, and she is really reluctant to give these things for favor.
As soon as Sister Cai left, Chu Yao came up and asked Cai Cong: "Brother, is there something bad today?" ”
"How do you know?" Cai Cong glanced at Chu Yao, then looked at Wu Mei, and found that she also had an expression that I knew something was wrong.
"It's good that you don't know about this, so don't be curious about it in the future. I'll just ask you if you have said anything strange today? ”
Cai Cong asked, today Li Shimin wanted to throw himself to the eldest grandson's side several times, he felt that there was a problem, there was no good banquet in this banquet, the people of the old Li family were the masters who calculated everything to the extreme, and gathered so many people together, and he couldn't recover the expenses of such a arrangement without doing something, he felt that this was not in line with the character of the eldest grandson.
"Strange words? Not at all! Wu Mei thought about it and said, she remembered that what the queen said was useless nonsense in her opinion, except for winning people, it was winning people.
"There seem to be a few strange words, which mothers-in-law and aunts she said that if it is peaceful today, don't always look at a few grains in the field, the woman's family has no great ability, so she should help the man take care of the home, don't let the man work hard in front and come back to find that the house is in a mess."
How old is Chu Yao, how much older is it, and she looks at things more thoroughly than Wu Mei, and the second half is nothing, and the first half of the words vaguely feels that there is something in the eldest grandson's words, but he just doesn't know that there is a problem.
"Say this?"
Cai Cong was a little puzzled and let the two of them play. In addition to her husband and son, the eldest grandson is most nervous in this life, isn't it a few grains in the field? How is it possible to keep these noble ladies from looking into the field?
If you can't find it, you won't find it, just listening to this sentence, you will know that this matter is definitely related to the land, and it will inevitably show the limelight in a few days.
Since ancient times, land has been the most sensitive thing, and now there are signs of annexation, Cai Cong did not dare to take the lead in this matter, so he handed a note asking for leave to the military department and the ministry on the same day.
He's unlucky enough, the civil service is getting higher and higher, Doctor Zijin Guanglu! That is the prose officer of Zheng Sanpin, but he is in charge of the new army, he is the general of the new army, he is humble and martial, and he has to hand over two notes if he wants to ask for leave.
Sure enough, within a few days, it broke out, supervising the imperial history of Ma Zhou, and writing a book on the land reform article Chen 15 articles. Fifteen Chen poured a bucket of water into a hot oil pot, almost killing anyone.
The ministers fiercely opposed the land reform, and Ma Zhou single-handedly fought against the Confucians, and almost didn't have his tongue pulled out. On the way home, he was ambushed by two of his followers, and he was stabbed in the body, but fortunately it was not fatal.
Li Shimin was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but unfortunately the people below didn't want to investigate at all. It took a month of hard work to find out the perpetrator and the mastermind behind the scenes, it was an official in Luoyang, and there was more land at home, if it was a person like him who could not accept the land reform, he wanted to kill Ma Zhou in anger.
Li Shimin directly dismissed him from office, lost his family property, and exiled him to Liaodong, which was a very heavy punishment, but on the day he left Beijing, he was given gold and silver money and money that was transported to this official's hometown by horse
All this is to announce their position to Li Shimin, and they are not afraid of dismissal, but land reform will never work.
The conquest of the Turks was just around the corner, and Li Shimin couldn't get too stiff with the hundred officials, so he went to the idea of land reform. The ministers of the mountain call Shengming, as long as they don't take the knife, then it will be done.
Unexpectedly, Cai Cong, who had been on leave for a long time the next day, wrote a note to make it beneficial to the people. State the tenants, the princes and princes of the fiefs are not easy to live in the people, and they eat according to the sky. If God does not give him food, the tenants and his subjects will have to sell it in exchange for some grain to pay off the tenants' rent and taxes.
And this practice is extremely inhumane, the court also has to tax exempt disaster relief in famine years, how can these landlords and nobles bear to watch the people sell their sons and daughters in order to repay a few stones of wheat or something?
So the content of his book is to hope that Lao Li will be the master of the people, and in this year of disaster, the landlords and nobles will not collect rent and ask for money! Anyway, if you don't have this money, you can't starve to death, so why force people to death?
Everyone sees Cai Cong's Chen is like eating, how disgusting and disgusting it is, you have done it all for good people. We've lost a lot of food and money!
However, at this time, it can only be agreed and passed, at least this matter is much better than land reform, and the lesser of the two harms. I just knocked out Li Shimin's heart for land reform, and it is not good to oppose it at this time.
If you oppose Li Lao Er's face, you can't get by, and if you are angry and want to reform the land, it will be a big trouble, so you can simply play in unison and ask Li Shimin to agree to this Chen, so that Li Shimin can also stop.
It's just that Cai Cong was recorded in a small notebook like this, and unfortunately, even Ma Zhou's account was counted on his head.
But this is also the right reason, who called Ma Zhou was recommended by Cai Cong to Du Ruhui, and then was recommended to Li Shimin, and anyone who looks at it thinks that Ma Zhou is Cai Cong's horse boy.
Cai Cong can feel that countless people are cursing him at home, in fact, he really doesn't want to get involved in this matter, he can't figure out Li Shimin's thoughts, at this time, playing land reform, can't he be kicked by a donkey? But Li Chengqian, a shameless thing, killed the Hou Mansion and lived directly in his room, and bluntly said that he would not leave without helping.
If that's the case, it's okay, it's great, let's change the room and sleep, how big of a deal is it? But this bastard is shameless, he actually teased Chu Yao in front of Cai Cong, and even the maids in the house didn't let go, and he was desperately teasing.
The people of the Hou Mansion are panicking, how many maids are dreaming of flying on the branches, those little maids are even more anxious, they can't sleep well, and their favorite little cuixin is about to be deceived by the prince, what can I do?
Cai Cong had no choice but to give Li Chengqian an idea, step by step, cut lightly and slowly, and reform little by little.
Just like this time, if Cai Cong had proposed to exempt him from taxes and rents at the very beginning, those landlords and nobles would have been able to fight with him on Suzaku Street.
But now it's different, Ma Zhou just made a big death, Li Shimin also made concessions, at this time Cai Cong jumped out again, although everyone disgusted him, but gritted his teeth, he would also make compromises.
What Cai Cong told Li Chengqian was to cut a little bit within the acceptable range of the nobles, so that when they came back to their senses, it was powerless to stop the land reform.
Cai Cong didn't understand why he was moving the land at this time, such a sensitive nerve really shouldn't have been mentioned on the eve of the big battle, wasn't Li Shimin afraid that the officials would be dissatisfied?
The holy decree was issued from Shangshu Province, and it spread all over the world in a few months, how the people cheered and didn't mention it, the Turkic people were full of despair, could it be that the Tang Dynasty had become so rich?
When the Turks make troubles, they always abandon the elderly and the disabled, how can there be any government to provide money and food, and also exempt from taxes or something?
Azagu wanted to die very much, he had already blackmailed Cai Cong several times, and he was blackmailed twice after the beginning of the year. Now those traitors in Xue Yantuo actually sent people to Chang'an to pay tribute, hoping that the Tang Dynasty would give them the name of a separate subject state, and no longer a tribe under the name of the Eastern Turks.
