It was not surprising that the Juntian system was experiencing difficulties in Chengdu. What Taizong couldn't do back then, at this moment he is thinking about how easy it is to distribute the land to the people.

Since cutting off the head of Zhou Ziyang, the patriarch of the Zhou clan, under the pressure of the imperial court law, all major families have agreed to divide the land, and several patriarchs have signed and pledged.

However, the patriarch's counterattack was to boycott the market, so that the people of Chengdu Mansion could not buy goods with money. In order to blackmail the imperial court, he gave up the Juntian system in Chengdu Prefecture.

Soon, the Chengdu government went on strike. The pharmacies, tea shops, restaurants, cloth markets, and grain markets on the streets have all closed down, and the lives of the people of Chengdu have been greatly affected.

The Wang family, Wang Anxuan's mansion, the patriarchs of all clans gathered together.

In the past, there was constant friction between various ethnic groups. They fight each other for their own interests. Fighting at every turn, some ethnic groups can be said to have a deep hatred and hatred.

The irreconcilable contradictions between the two clans can be traced back to several generations, and even the non-intermarriage between the surnames is written into the family tree.

For example, the Zhang family and the Liu family in Hexi, their ancestors have already had conflicts dating back to the Xianzong period. In order to compete for a fertile field in Hexi, the two clans often fought fiercely. Arms fought between the two clansmen at every turn, and intermarriage was forbidden between the Zhang and Liu clans, and if anyone found out, they would be expelled from the family at least and sunk for adultery.

The patriarch of the family has absolute authority, and they can even dispose of the lives of their clansmen at will according to the clan rules, in disregard of the laws of the country, and the Tang law does not apply here.

"Patriarch Wang, that Pi Wending is amazing. As soon as he came, he gave us a dismount and killed the head of Zhou Ziyang, the patriarch of the Zhou family, and cut off his head. Now the people of the Zhou family carried the coffin outside the gate of the Assassin's Mansion and threatened to make the Chengdu Mansion cut off the cloth market. Li Qingshan, the patriarch of the Li clan, touched his goatee and gloated with a face, but did not show a trace of sympathy because of Zhou Ziyang's beheading.

The same is true for others, as the leader of the major families, Wang Anxuan sneered disdainfully: "Hmph, this Pi Wending and that Xiao Promise are still too tender." They think it's his? Without our support, we would have made it impossible for him to move here. ”

"That is, now we will close down the pharmacies, wine shops, brothels, teahouses, cloth markets, and grain markets in the city, see what they do!" Huang Wenzhi, the patriarch of the Huang clan, was proud.

"This, I'm afraid that the people in the city are not only resentful of the court, but also have a greater opinion of us. I think we'd better stop for two more days. This arm can't fit the thigh, so don't forget about the third autumn of Qianfu. "It was Yang Gaizhi, the patriarch of the Yang family, who said this, and his Yang family did not have much influence in Chengdu Mansion, and Yang Gaizhi was cautious. He was suppressed by various clans on weekdays, and he didn't really want to follow this trip to the troubled waters, because other patriarchs dragged him here.

Although the influence of the major families in Chengdu Mansion is huge, they dare not offend the people of Chengdu Mansion after all.

In the third year of Qianfu, the major families jointly hoarded Juqi and arbitrarily raised prices, and the prices of Chengdu Mansion soared. As a result, the people of Chengdu Prefecture rioted and ransacked the shops of major families.

Since then, although these major families have monopolized the commerce of Chengdu Prefecture, they do not dare to act too recklessly in terms of prices.

Huang Wenzhi rolled up his sleeves: "What are you afraid of!" If the people dare to ask, we will say that the court will not give us a way to live, and we will be forced to be helpless. ”

"That's it, let's just say that, if the people want to make trouble, we will detain the basin to the court." Someone stood up in support.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Anxuan's mouth, if the people can't live, they will definitely make trouble after a long time. When the time comes, Chengdu Mansion will be in chaos, and it will be up to Pi Wending to clean up this mess.

"Patriarch, it's not good, it's not good!" A member of the Wang family ran in in a panic, tired and out of breath.

Wang Anxuan was a little angry, in front of so many patriarchs, the subordinates were so panicked that they really lost a lot of face. When everyone leaves, they must kill this family member: "What are you panicking, the sky hasn't fallen yet." Even if the sky falls, the patriarch will hold it for you! ”

Jia Ding shook his hands wildly: "No, not the patriarch. The city and the city are full of newly opened shops, including grain shops, cloth shops, medicine shops, tea houses, restaurants, everything. ”

"What!" Wang Anxuan was taken aback, and suddenly stood up: "You, you say it again!"

Not only him, but the faces of several other patriarchs were also full of shock, where did so many shops come from?

Jia Ding wiped his sweat: "Thorn Shi and Thorn Shi Pi Wending have transferred a large number of cloth villages, tea, medicinal materials, and grain shop merchants from other provinces, and they have rented shops in various streets and markets in the city. The price and the price are much lower than what we set, and now the whole city is pouring in to buy it. ”

Several patriarchs were completely shocked, and their good days had arrived. Li Qingshan looked at Wang Anxuan in horror: "Patriarch Wang, the sky is really falling!"

How to deal with the patriarchs of these major families to distribute land to the people, Pi Wending and Xiao Promise racked their brains. If you can't defeat the other party in one fell swoop, you won't tear your face with the patriarchs.

Now that the patriarchs have agreed to divide the land, they want to force the court to submit to it by monopolizing commerce, which is really naïve!

Today's imperial court is so powerful that it is beyond their imagination. Since Xichuan was pacified, businessmen from all walks of life have long heard the news.

Pengzhou, Maozhou, Mianzhou, Zizhou, and even the merchants of Jianzhou, which is closest to Chengdu, flocked to Chengdu. These unprofitable merchants knew that Xichuan had just decided and that there was no shortage of commercial goods, so they had already rushed into the city to supply various items. Medicinal herbs, cloth, tea, silk, rouge gouache and so on.

The country of abundance has been rich since ancient times, and although it has been plagued by Wang Jian for decades, commerce is still developed.

The big families in Chengdu Mansion tried in vain to monopolize the goods in the city, but they didn't know that Xiao Promise had already notified the merchants in various states and counties that if they went to Chengdu Mansion to do business, they would be exempted from business tax for three years.

Li Ji reduced the agricultural tax, and the burden on the people was lightened, but the commercial tax was relatively increased. When these businessmen heard that they would be exempted from business tax for three years in Chengdu Prefecture, they had already heard the news and came to seize the shops in each street first.

This kind of good thing, for fear of being preempted by others if you go late.

As a result, the industries monopolized by these major families have been completely broken by merchants from other places. What's worse is that these foreign businessmen are first-hand goods, the price is low, and the quality is good.

So the people of Chengdu have gone to these newly opened shops to buy goods, as for the shops of the major families, no one cares whether you close the door or not.

"Let's go! Let's go out and have a look! Seeing is believing, Wang Anxuan was anxious.

The other patriarchs were doubly anxious, how could they not panic if the monopoly of several generations of commerce was about to be broken.

Several patriarchs came to the city with their families, but they saw that the streets of Chengdu Mansion were crowded with newly opened shops.

Tea shops, cloth shops, rouge shops, blacksmith shops, and grain shops are piled up with bags of grain. The streets are overcrowded, and every shop is full of people.

Look at the streets monopolized by several major families, not to mention the closed doors, and there is no half of the population in the desert.

The patriarchs panicked, and Li Qingshan, the patriarch of the Li clan, couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Hurry!" Hurry up and open! ”

Several other patriarchs also immediately dispersed, and returned to their respective shops to reopen.

With competition comes lower prices. In Chengdu, where prices have been high, they have finally returned to the normal price level, and the people of the land of abundance have finally lived a peaceful life.

The patriarchs of the major families all beat their chests and hung their heads in frustration, and Pi Wending quickly sent people to the major families to measure the land. The measured land register is made, and then distributed to the people of all ethnic groups according to the head.

The land that was originally in the hands of the patriarch made the patriarchs respond to it, and the patriarch had absolute authority.

Now that things have changed, the clansmen have their own land, and your patriarch is a bird. What kind of clan rules and clan precepts, if you are reasonable, we will listen to the clan rules, and if you are unreasonable, I will go to your uncle.

Soon, the power of the major families in Chengdu Mansion collapsed in an instant. Although the patriarch still has the right to speak in the clan, he will not fart as before.

As for the contradictions between the various ethnic groups, they are all grievances of the previous life, the previous life, and the previous life.

Now the two clansmen who are incompatible can nod and say hello when they meet, and some can even get married. The patriarch glared? Staring at you, we are true love, and we are also true love when you remove Lao Tzu.

Chengdu Mansion has been decided, and Xiao Promise has written to Luoyang City. Soon Li Ji moved the decree and rewarded Spike Wending.

As for Xiao Nuoyan, he returned to Beijing to fortify his defense, and Chengdu Mansion was guarded by border guards.

The forbidden army, Li Ji must be firmly controlled in his own hands. The forbidden army is divided into more than a dozen arms, and the generals do not interfere with each other. The forbidden army does not have a commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief is Li Ji himself.

Only by firmly controlling the military power in their own hands can the imperial power be absolutely concentrated.

Strong branches and weak cadres will only make the feudal towns support their own troops and cause chaos in the world.

Only when the cadres are strong and the branches are weak, the feudal towns will not dare to watch the power of the imperial court, and there will be hope for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest season has arrived, and there is a huge problem in Luoyang City.

However, this is a joyful problem, and it is the only problem that makes Li Ji, the ministers, and the people happy.

That is, there is too much food, and there is not enough granary.

Wheat, corn, soybeans, peanuts, rice, the unnatural yield made the people jaw-dropping.

They sweated in the fields with hoes, sickles, shovels, and all the tools they could use. For the first time, they tasted the taste of being full, no, the taste of being well-fed.

Compared to the corn grown in the past, these foods are delicious in the world, and dragon liver and phoenix pith are no exception.

During the day, he wielded a hoe to go to the field to harvest, and at night he hugged his wife and children to make a man.

The grain was piled up in the yard, and the people had an inexplicable peace of mind. Grain, inexhaustible food, too much!

The taxes are low, and the fatal thing is to serve the imperial court, manage food, housing, and pay money.

The people thought it was a dream, and it must be a dream. It's not on earth, they're in heaven.

I have been bitter for a lifetime, hungry for a lifetime. Grass roots and bark have been eaten, and wild vegetables and corn are commonplace.

Especially corn, the rations of the people for generations are coarse and difficult to swallow. If you eat it, your throat is spicy, and it's a luxury to be able to eat enough of these things. In the beginning of spring, you have to go with wild vegetables to barely make ends meet.

And now, corn? Something that pigs don't eat. We eat white flour, we eat tortillas, we eat rice, we eat peanut oil and soybean oil stir-fry.

We also eat tender tofu, which is smooth and tender, like a tender lamb, which is nutritious and delicious.

In the past, the imperial court forbade brewing wine without permission, wasting food. Now the imperial court has issued an order to encourage folk winemaking, and there is too much food to eat, so let's make it.

"Your Majesty, the granary is full, and there is nowhere to put a lot of grain in stock, so the Ministry of Industry should speed up the progress." Prime Minister Kong Lin made this suggestion in Hanyuan Palace.

The ministers were as excited as chicken blood, and Dugu Yu followed: "Yes, yes, there is also the household department to allocate funds as soon as possible to recruit people to build granaries."

Zhang Wenwei of the Ministry of Household and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said that they would put it on the agenda as soon as possible, and Li Ji nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, you can do these things, and you have nothing to do to retreat."

Li Ji was anxious to leave, because he was going to the harem to find his daughter-in-law Zhang Wanxi.

Married, although there is no sweetness in love, it is more of a responsibility between husband and wife.

Li Ji was not worried about this, he got a bigger piece of good news.

The ministers didn't want him to go, Pei Shu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, how should Your Majesty decide on the matter of Wei Bojun's letter asking the imperial court to canonize Zhu Youwen as Wei Bo's envoy?"

"Hold it down, we'll discuss it tomorrow at this time, I still have something to do." Li Ji wanted to slip away.

"Your Majesty......" Pei Shu wanted to say more, but Li Ji had already gotten up and fled.

The reason why Li Ji is so anxious is because Zhang Wanxi is sick, and the imperial doctor is checking her pulse.

As for what disease, nausea and vomiting, like to eat sour.

The fool also guessed that this was pregnant, so how could Li Ji not be in a hurry.

All the way, Li Ji stepped on the speed of Hot Wheels and rushed to the Lizheng Palace. You can only keep up with the speed of the trot, and the other palace maids and eunuchs are in a hurry to follow.

When he arrived at the Lizheng Palace, the imperial doctor was taking Zhang Wanxi's pulse. Li Ji broke in in a hurry, and asked thoughtlessly, "What's wrong?"

The imperial doctor hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the queen is happy."

Li Ji only felt that the world was spinning, and I was happy, I was going to be a father.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" The eunuchs and the little palace maids knelt on the ground together.

"Hahaha! ......" Li Ji laughed, picked up Zhang Wanxi and turned around excitedly, scaring everyone to lower their heads.

Zhang Wanxi was also full of joy, and slapped Li Ji angrily: "Where is the dignified Son of Heaven, if the Queen Mother knows, I will inevitably scold you again."

Thinking of the Queen Mother, Li Ji hurriedly put down Zhang Wanxi, turned his head to Fuquan and said, "Fuquan, go to Jishan Palace and inform the Queen Mother of the good news!"

Fuquan has long been so beautiful that it has floated up, the emperor has a dragon son, and the whole world celebrates the great joy!

Although Li Ji is young, the ministers and Empress Dowager He are most concerned about the emperor's heirs. The ministers admonished Li Ji more than once and asked Li Ji to accept the concubine, but Li Ji did not agree. Now that the queen is happy, she can finally stop the mouths of these ministers.
