Chapter 437: Son of Heaven's Minions

Zhao Pu's ability to do things was not said, Ye Hua gave him a hussar guard, and asked him to greet the embroidered messenger, Zhao Pu immediately scattered the men and horses, staring at the manor along the coast.

Waiting for the will, the embroidered messenger will be dispatched, just arrest people. In the five days before and after, more than 100 manors were sealed, and more than 200 people were arrested, all of whom were thrown into prison.

Zhao Pu was finally satisfied.

He returned to Yecheng to meet Ye Hua.

At this moment, Zhao Pu was a five-body surrender to Ye Hua, he originally thought that he would turn the case into a framing of the royal family and teach those families a profound lesson. But after Ye Hua made a move, he directly raised it to the extent that the governance of the Yellow River was related to the life and death of Sheji.

After cleaning up the grange, it broke the foundation on which the family depended for survival, this is the real master, directly digging on the ancestral grave, ordinary small fights that hurt the muscles and bones, Ye Hua was too lazy to do it.

We are the dignified champion Hou, we don't have the ability to take the head of the general in the 10,000 horse army, are we worthy of the word "champion"!

"Master Hou, I have already asked people to investigate, the Yellow River is high at the moment, and the river is difficult to maintain. The only way to divert the river is to dig a channel in the north. I plan to re-divide the land in Hebei by repairing the river, I don't know if Hou Ye thinks it is feasible? ”

Ye Hua nodded happily, "When the first emperor issued a decree granting land, the division of land and property was very unreasonable, many people did not get enough land, and some powerful people took the opportunity to amass fertile land and made a windfall. At that time, there was a lack of available people in the imperial court, and the surroundings of the capital were not bad, but when they left the capital, they changed their tune, which was also helpless. This time it is just right to correct the mistakes and re-divide the fields, which will inevitably stimulate the enthusiasm of the people, and the imperial court will be able to recruit more people's labor, with the help of their strength, dig the river, and control the floods, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone! ”

Zhao Pu had to stretch out his thumb, and Ye Hua just made the key to his plan clear. Just imagine, without large machinery, just rely on your hands and feet, stunned to dig a river, what a big project!

If it is not well controlled, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the people, and Emperor Yang of Sui ruined the Sui Dynasty in order to build a grand canal.

If you want to build a river, you must mobilize the people, and the best way to mobilize the people is to grant land! Grant land fairly and reasonably! Let the people of Hebei get the land that should belong to them!

Zhao Pu has been thinking about it for a long time, and he has been thinking about it since he took over the important task of protecting the river embankment.

When someone hit the Fu family and wanted to implicate him, Zhao Pu made up his mind to fight with these people!

Facts have proved that if you dare to underestimate the means of this future prime minister, you will definitely taste the bitter fruit!

Zhao Pu sharpened his knife and showed his sharp fangs!

Ye Hua pondered for a moment and pondered: "Mr. Zhao, this idea is very good, and I agree with it, but it is not so easy to implement it." The so-called five surnames and seven sects, they will fight back with all their might, and we must be prepared to deal with it. ”

Zhao Pu bowed, but he was a little unconvinced.

"Master Hou, the so-called five surnames and seven sects have long been a passing cloud, Huang Chao killed the Shi clan, and Zhu Wen killed more than 30 Qingliu ministers in the White Horse Station. Even if there are still some remnants, how many people can be gathered after decades of war? I doubt it! ”

Ye Hua nodded with a smile and shook his head again, "What you said is reasonable, but you also have to see the power behind the family!" As long as the scholars, landlords, and bureaucrats in the world are willing to support them, these people can make waves, even more powerful than in the Sui and Tang dynasties! ”

The so-called five surnames and seven sects are a banner.

This banner can be the way of Confucius and Mencius, it can be Cheng Zhu Lixue, it can be Yangming Xinxue, and it can even draw a rolling on it...... This is just the appearance, the real key is their interests!

As long as their interests are aligned, their support is endless, like a surging river.

"Mr. Zhao, although there is a civil and military dispute in the Great Zhou Dynasty, since the warriors can enter the ranks as officials, this competition has become a struggle between the land gentry and the military meritorious, this is a comprehensive struggle, no matter the depth and breadth, it is not the same as the previous party struggle!"

Ye Hua's tone was very flat, but the meaning in his words was terrifying.

The so-called civil and military disputes are only limited to the court, and who has the final say. The civil officials and the gentry and landlords were natural allies, and they had a steady stream of reserve troops, and as long as the world was peaceful, the civil officials would surely win this protracted war.

But through Ye Hua's efforts, the martial artists extended their tentacles to the local officials, and they also had a strong reserve force, and this time the competition was too profound.

The original social law revolves around the land, and if you master the land, you will control everything.

What Ye Hua wants to do is to make military merit the core of social operation.

With military merits, you can become an official, you can be granted land, and you can become a master...... The land is inherited, but the military merit is spelled out, which of the two is fairer, which way is more beneficial to ordinary people, is self-evident.

It's a pity that too many people in this world are unwilling to abandon their vested interests and advantages, even if they are from poor backgrounds, once they reach a high position and their families have accumulated land and wealth, they will also want to pass on their wealth, and naturally, they will stand on the side of the landlords and gentry.

Zhao Pusi looked at Ye Hua's words, and sweat was already flowing from his sideburns.

After a long time, he suddenly bowed deeply towards Ye Hua.

"Master Hou, the ancestor of the servant was a small official, and he entered the officialdom by luck, and he relied on the support of the Hou Ye to have today's status. Although the servant is not sensitive, he also understands that the way of the world should be fair and reasonable. Wealthy families, gentry and landlords, relying on the inheritance of their ancestors, rentier and fat, and relying on wealth, controlling officialdom and power, are really a cancer of the past dynasties. The servant is willing to follow the Hou Ye, saddle up the horse and fight with these people to the end! Win or lose, never stop! ”

Ye Hua showed a satisfied smile, in the past, he didn't form a party because he had no opinions, no opinions. How many people are attracted to come over is just to fight for power and profit.

Ye Hua didn't want to cross once, and he did such a cheesy thing.

Now it is different, he supports the military merit group, advocates replacing the land with military merit, and completely changes the rules of society, and anyone who agrees with this proposition will become Ye Hua's allies.

The Fu family is, and so is Zhao Pu!

In the future, there will be more people who will join this group, Ye Hua firmly believes it......

"Let's figure out right now, this time the inventory of the Grange land, and then re-grant the land, can it be pushed forward, what kind of resistance will there be?"

Zhao Pu raised the spirit of twelve, Ye Hua's words undoubtedly raised Zhao Pu's level, and he could have a higher vision to look at the overall situation.

"As the Hou Ye said, the five surnames and seven sects may be nothing, the key is the gentry and bureaucrats behind, of course they do not want the court to move the land again, in fact, the first emperor implemented the land granting order, it was met with a lot of obstruction, if it was not for the beginning of the new dynasty, it would not be able to do it at all. Now it is more difficult to readjust the land! ”

Ye Hua bowed, "It's better to do this, just let us see clearly, who is obstructing!" Who are our enemies! ”

As a person who leads the troops, once you describe the other party as an enemy, it is a mortal enemy, and you will never die!

Ye Hua entered the battle state, and Zhao Pu naturally wanted to follow left and right.

Chai Rong ordered the inspection of the Grange on the tenth day.

Ye Hua and Zhao Pu came to the palace together, and at the same time, there were also Yecheng left-behind Fan Qian, as well as several important ministers who stayed in the mansion.

After everyone saluted, they found that the emperor's face was extremely ugly, gloomy and cold, like a piece of iron that had been frozen outside for a long time for three or nine days, hanging with a thick layer of frost!

"After investigation, there are more than 20 manors in Huazhou and other places, which are owned by Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and there are dozens of granges, more or less, all of which were purchased by merchants, and this is the result of the local officials in Yecheng for me to investigate!"

Hearing Chai Rong's words, Ye Hua finally knew the source of the emperor's anger...... What are you kidding, so many grange lands, all of them are pushed to merchants, or Hu merchants in the Western Regions!

Those officials are shameless, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou still wants this face!

In this big Zhou world, when it will be up to the businessman to decide, it is simply unreasonable!

Chai Rong stared at Fan Zhen and asked angrily, "Fan Xianggong, is this the explanation given to me by staying in the yamen?" ”

Fan Zhen's knees weakened, and he immediately knelt down: "The old minister is guilty, the old minister thinks that he should send another cadre to investigate thoroughly, and he must find out clearly!" ”

At this time, Zhao Pu suddenly said faintly: "If the people sent next time are still not clear, do you want to continue to send people?" Fan Xianggong, how long will it take to do this again and again? Is this case closed? ”

was exposed by a junior, Fan Zhen was so angry that his old face turned red, and he coughed twice, "Zhao Xianggong, if you think that the officials can't find out clearly, you can ask for the order to check it yourself!" ”

Zhao Pu said proudly: "Okay, I have this intention!" Fan Lao Xianggong said to the heart! ”

After speaking, Zhao Pu turned around abruptly and asked Chai Rong, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to check in person, at most ten days, the minister must find out who belongs behind these granges!" ”

Chai Rong smiled at Zhao Pu, "Zhao Qing is brave enough to do things, and I am very relieved, but I already have a candidate for this matter, so let Han Derang, the deputy envoy of embroidery, be responsible, and give me an explanation within five days!" ”
