Chapter 48: Confrontation

"No land! Who said there is no land, isn't there a large area of land near Anyi? This area is the most fertile place in the entire east of the river, how can there be no land. Liu Xie asked rhetorically.

Yang Feng didn't want all the people from Baibo Valley to come over, so it would inevitably increase the strength of Han Xian and the three of them, so he came out and explained: "Your Majesty! The land here is owned by the owner, and the nine floors and nine are all owned by the Wei family and the powerful families of various families, and there is no rest of the land to settle other people. ”

"Is that so?"

Liu Xie didn't seem to know, Jia Xu nodded and cooperated, and Liu Xie asked again: "Then do they have to pay taxes to the imperial court?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head!

The four bandits shook their heads in the same way.

"I won't pay it!" Liu Xie stopped his pen, raised his eyebrows, stared at the four of Yang Cheng, and touched it:

"They don't pay taxes, what are those lands theirs, the whole world belongs to the Han Dynasty, all of them belong to my Liu family, and these lands are also, if you don't pay taxes, you won't give them seeds, so that from now on all you have to pay taxes, and the four generals will do this, and urge them to pay not only land taxes from now on, but also taxes."

Whoever doesn't pay it will be arrested and locked up, otherwise where will the imperial court get the money and food, how can the four generals train the troops to lead the army, and how can they recover Chang'an and exterminate Li Dao and his ilk. ”

Ha ha! The words of the Son of Heaven are domineering!

The four of them listened to the whisper, this sentence of the Son of Heaven, they can do something to the family, rob their fields, rob their mansions, and whoever dares to disobey will be arrested.

Then Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Li Le praised: "Your Majesty is wise, it should be like this, the world belongs to the Han Dynasty, it belongs to Your Majesty, no matter who you are, you must pay taxes and taxes to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ministers will do it, and when the place is vacated, the people of Baibo Valley will be resettled." ”

Since the Son of Heaven came up with such a good idea, Han Xian and the three of them did not hesitate, and with the Son of Heaven in their hands, they would use Anyi as their base camp in the future, so naturally they could not return to Baibo Valley, and the people there would also move out, so as to increase their strength.

Yang Yan did not object to raising taxes on the family, but he was a little resistant to Han Xian and the three of them moving to Anyi, so he said: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, will this anger the family, they are deeply rooted in the counties, in case of resistance to the law and do not pay, will there be turmoil." ”

"it! Whoever dares to disrespect His Majesty's order will be arrested and tortured; Whoever dares to use his weapons will kill him. Hu Cai stood up and scolded Yang Fengdao:

"What do you mean, Yang Yan, do you want to oppose His Majesty's edict? Yang Yan, your merits are not enough to seal the general, if I were Your Majesty, I wouldn't need to seal you. ”

When Han Xian and Li Le heard it, it was this truth, Yang Cheng wanted to obstruct it, so let the Son of Heaven not give him the title of General Wei, anyway, the three of them were already dissatisfied with him being one of the four generals, and now the holy decree of the Son of Heaven has not been written, so it can be changed.

"You ...... Hum! Whatever you want. Seeing that the three of them were pressed tightly, Yang Yan glared at Hu Cai with hatred, and put his face on the other, not asking about this matter, it was a compromise, and the hatred for Hu Cai in his heart went one step further.

"Enough! The four generals are the pillars of the country, what kind of system is the noisy and noisy, this matter is so decided, you can discuss the specific matters, and then discuss it with Jia Aiqing in detail, you also know Jia Aiqing's intelligence, and handle the affairs of the court in a good way, you can follow him to learn more about this. Liu Xie finished writing the holy decree and then asked Jia Xu to hand it to the four people, and then waved his hand to send away the intention of leaving.

Jia Xu is so dark, his idea must be damaged enough.

The four of them took a look, and then bowed down and thanked and left.

Jia Xu saw that the four of them were gone, and although they helped the Son of Heaven play with the four of them in the palm of their hands, there was still some worry between their eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty! Although this pushed the four of them into a fight with the family, they were afraid that they would go too far, and there would be even greater chaos at that time, and it would be inappropriate to stabilize in Hedong. ”

Liu Xie glanced at Jia Xu and stood up: "It's messy, it's messy, anyway, the world is messy enough now, it's clean up when it's messy, it's not broken, don't you think all the families in the world should clean up?"

One by one, they were favored by the emperor and honored, but as a result, they did something, constantly digging into the corners of the royal family, helping those rebels to raise troops and cause trouble, and now they are still thinking about carving up the world, so that the people live in dire straits.

Aiqing have you thought about it, if everyone has a field, everyone has clothes to wear, a house to live in, and everyone can study, what a grand event this is, and how strong and stable such a country is. ”

Although Jia Xu was not a poor family, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes were foggy when he looked at the Son of Heaven, so he asked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean is not only to divide the fields of various families, but also to let the common people go to school." ”

Knowledge has always been something that only the family has, how precious books are, generally not despised by others, it is not easy for the poor to obtain knowledge.

Jia Xu is from a famous family in Wuwei, although he does not object to the words of the Son of Heaven, but he does not think that Liu Xie can do this.

"Of course! The people don't learn, why should they be educated, the policy of fooling the people is in turn the foolish country, the most profitable is the noble family and the landlord in the middle, Jia Aiqing is deeply experienced. Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu with a word.

Since ancient times, successive dynasties have practiced the policy of fooling the people, in order to imprison the people, wanting to coexist for all generations, for fear that the people will rebel.

But the problem is that basically the successful rebellion in the end is the meritorious landlords of the family.

And Jia Xu himself is also a part of the family, although he is the smallest family, but he also understands the role of the family in various places.

Jia Xu sweated slightly, but he didn't expect the Son of Heaven to see more and they were still thorough, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty Shengming. ”

Following! Really! Wang Yi and Wei Ji and others came again, this time with the county soldiers, and asked for a holy face.

Yang Cheng and Han Xian were canonized by the Son of Heaven yesterday, and they had a new idea, so they naturally would not clash with Wang Yi and others at this time, after all, there were a lot of county soldiers, and there were also a large number of private soldiers in various counties.

In the lobby of the original Wei family's mansion, Liu Xie started the first court meeting in Hedong, with the Baibo army on both sides as the martial arts and the Wangyi county ministers on the other side.

There are no eunuchs around, and the person in charge of shouting is in charge of the personal guard Hong Nan, Hong Nan and Jia Xu are both literate and martial, and they are also standing under Liu Xie, only listening to Hong Nan said: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from the court, and there is no noise." ”

"Your Majesty has something to do." Wang Yi stood up, Liu Xie raised his hand and signaled to him, Wang Yi first picked up some county government affairs and reported it, explaining the recent situation in Hedong since the winter, and then said:

"Your Majesty has come to Hedong to inspect, and the people of the upper and lower counties in Hedong have done their best to express their loyalty to your Majesty's worries.

Jia Xu came down and took the folding seal in Wang Yi's hand and handed it to Liu Xie, Liu Xie opened it and looked, good guy, this is the detailed information of the loss of money drawn up by Wang Yi and the Hedong family, who is willing to donate food, wealth and cloth.

But it's not much, it's just a matter of meaning.

This is a routine, a trick that civil officials like to play, and then they are going to get down to business, throwing bricks and leading jade, Liu Xiehe was as usual, and then he looked at everyone, and only said: "The people of Hedong have hearts, and Wang Aiqing thanked them for me." ”

"For His Majesty's worries, I don't dare to take credit." Wang Yi then changed the conversation and said: "Your Majesty's ministers still have a matter to do, the ministers accused Li Le of violating laws and disciplines, harassing good people, embezzling countless Wei family property, and killing dozens of people in Wei Mansion. ”

"Oh! And that kind of thing. Liu Xie slapped the case and glared at Li Le angrily.

"Your Majesty! The minister was wronged, Wang Taishou was absolutely vain, when did the minister embezzle the Wei family's wealth, the minister just ......" Of course Li Le had to quibble and stand up to refute.

But Wang Yi's side all stood up and said: "Your Majesty, we can be too good to be a witness, Li Le has embezzled the Wei family's property and injured dozens of lives, please Your Majesty be the master of the Wei family." ”
