Chapter 361: Thunderstorm
Gu Qing is confronting the powerful, everyone is waiting for the next step in the matter, and at the moment, Shang Shuling, who has just been in office for less than half a year, and the children of the powerful are like immortals fighting, and no one knows what move will be made next.
Li Daozong knelt in front of the Chengtian Gate for more than an hour.
Li Er knew about this matter and immediately met him, in the Ganlu Hall Li Daozong told that it was his own discipline that did not discipline his son well, Li Er and Li Daozong talked for a long time, Chang'an owners were paying attention to Li Daozong's behavior, when the conversation between the monarch and the ministers and brothers ended, the news came out, Li Daozong asked for a trap, and he also invited himself to Lingyan Pavilion.
Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, is a guest at the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Li Daozong's kneeling down is also decisive." Li Xiaogong said.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the words he had written, and felt that the writing was not good and put down his pen in disgust, "Because Li Daozong knows that he is looking for death to deal with this matter, His Majesty wants to check the acres of land, and Gu Qing is so bold because His Majesty has determination to have no fear." ”
Li Xiaogong hesitated and said, "This Li Daozong is really his duty, and he has a lot of confidence to withdraw from the battle for Lingyan Pavilion." ”
Nodding his head, the eldest grandson Wuji said again, "The reason why the powerful are powerful is that this power is what His Majesty says today, and this noble also depends on the mood of His Majesty today, do you see it, this time all the powerful people from all sides have taken action, but they are all some children doing things." ”
"I can see it." Li Xiaogong nodded.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, was silent
Li Tai and Fang Yi sat in the academy and talked, "What do you say will happen after this matter comes to this point?" ”
Listening to Li Tai's words, Fang Yi said directly, "Those powerful people didn't personally resist Gu Qing's actions at all, but let some of their children do things, which can be seen that they want to know how far Gu Qing wants to do this matter, if things develop to the point where they are out of control, they will just cut themselves like Li Daozong." ”
"Li Daozong has withdrawn from the battle of Lingyan Pavilion." Li Tai knew in his heart that there was one less person in Lingyan Pavilion.
"Actually, I think Gu Qing is also testing the depth of these magnates, and I want to know how determined these magnates are to resist." Fang Yizhi drank the tea in the cup, and the sound of the academy students reading aloud was in his ears, "If you want to go to Lingyan Pavilion, Tian Fa must take this step, Gu Qing has the credit now, but what is less is prestige." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Tai said suspiciously, "To say that Gu Qing offended the powerful people of Chang'an will only make Gu Qing's reputation worse." ”
"The prestige of the powerful is not something Gu Qing cares about." Fang Yi put down the teacup directly, "His Royal Highness King Wei might as well think about who will benefit from Gu Qing's matter in the end." ”
"Chaozhong." Li Tai immediately thought, "The Xintian Law has found out a lot of acres of land that the powerful have secretly hidden and not reported, and it will increase the tax revenue on grain in the future." ”
"What else?" Fang Yu seemed to be smiling.
"And the people's prestige! Gu Qing was able to gain the popularity of the people, and the people had more fields to cultivate, and according to the harvest, the original tax burden could be reduced. Li Tai said a little bit, "This new land law seems to be for the sake of the DPRK and China to collect acres of land again, but in fact it is to reduce the people's grain taxes." ”
"Exactly!" Fang Yizhi said, "The tax per acre has always been set according to the number of people, which has also led to a lot of people planting barren fields but have to spend the same taxes as rich fields, but this square field method is based on the estimation of the harvest to set the specific tax, so that the people can spend less unnecessary taxes." ”
"In recent years, especially after the war, the magnates in various places have privately hidden acres, and many acres of fields have not been registered, so these acres will be distributed to the people again for cultivation. The people have a lot of land to cultivate, and the DPRK and the central government can increase more taxes by collecting acres of land again, reducing the unnecessary taxes of the people. ”
Fang Yi nodded straightly, "So Gu Qing must complete this step if he wants to enter Lingyan Pavilion." ”
Gu Qing, who was a rising star at a young age, was able to enter the Lingyan Pavilion side by side with the Duke of Chaozhong, Li Tai let out a long sigh and looked at Fang Zhizhi, "Your father's mantle still needs to be inherited by Gu Qing." ”
Fang Yizhi said: "I really hope it's him." ”
"It's going to rain again." Looking at the dark clouds outside the window, Li Tai breathed in the sultry air, "Why don't you enter the court?" ”
"My father wanted me to be in this academy, although my father didn't say it, but he hinted at it." Fang Yizhi's tone was very light and calm, "My temperament is not suitable for survival in the court, but Gu Qing can be like a fish in water, and I also like the life in the academy." ”
"Gu Qing doesn't like power arts, even you don't want to enter the court, let alone Cheng Chumo, a half-ass." Li Tai stood up, "Why can you all look at it, and you are not willing to control the power technique." ”
Fang Yizhi gave Li Tai a smile, and everything was silent.
Li Daozong asked himself to be confined to his family, and the magnates from all walks of life in Chang'an knew this result and understood that this time it was His Majesty standing behind Gu Qing, no matter how much Gu Qing did too much, what to do or how to do it, it was not unreasonable for Li Daliang to fold in Gu Qing's hands.
Shangshu Province
Gu Qing has also been paying attention to the dynamics of those powerful children, and a small official came to report, "Master Hou, those guys all got together and went to Yichun Garden in Pingkangfang." ”
"It's going to rain, what to do! Sit well, let's take a look at the rain first. ”
Listening to Gu Qing's words, Li Yifu also sat down.
Xu Jingzong nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood what Gu Qing's approach meant.
A thunderstorm came and went quickly, and the air was much fresher after the rain, Gu Qing sat up and relaxed his muscles, "Let's go out for a walk." ”
"Where does Master Hou want to go?" Xu Jingzong walked over with a smile.
"There's something special about that place we went to." Gu Qing whispered.
Li Yifu also asked, "Oh? What is Hou Ye talking about? ”
"Of course, I'm going to Pingkangfang, where you can do things that both gentlemen and hooligans like to do." The smile on Gu Qing's face became even stronger, "You two must want to go." ”
"Nothing, nothing." Li Yifu waved his hand again and again.
"Master Hou. We are already squires in Shangshu Province, how can we go to that kind of place. "Xu Jingzong is serious.
"I just like the way you can really open your eyes and tell nonsense and be serious." Gu Qing smiled and said, "Let's go, I know you are frequent visitors there, let's go see those powerful children."
Pingkangfang is located in Chang'an, among all the shops in Chang'an, Pingkangfang is the most special, because there are many brothels here, which can be said to be the red light district of Chang'an.
Gu Qing walked in Pingkangfang step by step, looking at the lively scene here, and said to Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, "There will be a talented man who will come here to write the next poem." ”
