Inside the Yongzhou Yamen, Li Chengqian looked at the account books of the Yamen, and his face became more and more gloomy.

During the year that Wang Liang took office, he imposed heavy taxes on the people of Yongzhou, and the taxes paid to the state were paid according to the standards of the state. The rest all went into his own pocket and into the pocket of the Taiyuan Wang.

"A good king, a good Taiyuan Wang." Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said.

Wang Liang's actions not only harmed the people, but also damaged the reputation of the royal family, and strengthened the power of the scholars. No wonder when they first knew that Li Chengqian was the crown prince, the expressions of the people were very cold. It turned out to be a ghost made by Wang Liang.

"What's the matter, Prince?" Ma Zhou looked at Li Chengqian's face and asked suspiciously.

"Look." Li Chengqian handed the account book to Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou took the ledger and flipped through the ledger page by page. Looking at the ledger, Ma Zhou's face also became gloomy.

"It's unkind to the official!!" Ma Zhou said resentfully.

What Ma Zhou hated most in his life was this kind of corrupt official, which not only damaged the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, but also harmed the interests of the people. The people are all wounded. How could Wang Liang do such a thing.

"Hey." Li Chengqian began to have a headache again, this embezzled money is not a small amount. Five thousand, to be honest, Li Chengqian was really embarrassed to open his mouth to Li Shimin. Now there is a maximum of 8,000 guan in the treasury, and if this is all at once, it will be 5,000 kan. It is estimated that Datang is not far from extinction.

Without these 5,000 guan, the soldiers of Datang will definitely not even be able to eat, and the distribution of equipment will be greatly reduced. This will cause the soldiers of Datang to lose their combat effectiveness as they should.

Although Li Chengqian is a loser, he has to think about it for Datang. If Li Chengqian really divides the five thousand, he will divide it, so what if the Tang Dynasty perishes? Li Chengqian estimated that he was a sinner for the ages at that time. Besides, at that time, the family was gone, so why talk about a loser?

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what should I do with these five thousand?" Ma Zhou asked.

How many 5,000 runs, Ma Zhou didn't even dare to think about it. Ma Zhou, who has always had a lot of ideas, doesn't know what to do.

"Five thousand, if you want to return it all to the people, it is definitely impossible. Not to mention that I don't have that financial resources, our Datang treasury is estimated to be eight or nine thousand now. Take out 5,000 guan and return it to the people, and Datang will definitely destroy the country soon. Li Chengqian said his thoughts.

"This..."Ma Zhou didn't know how many taels of silver there was in Datang's treasury, and when he heard Li Chengqian say this number, he was even more helpless.

Ma Zhou is not a stupid person, as soon as Li Chengqian said this, he immediately thought of many consequences. If you take out 5,000 guan, then the ending of the Tang Dynasty will indeed be as Li Chengqian said, destroying the country.

"Heh, I don't know how you officials are doing. The history of assassination is corrupt, and no one comes to the capital to react? Li Chengqian glared fiercely at the Yongzhou officials who were waiting for Li Chengqian to speak.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Assassin Shi is corrupt, and the ministers don't know it." An official immediately explained.

"Oh? If you don't know about corruption, then he gave the people heavy taxes, you should always know, right? Li Chengqian was a little angry and wanted to laugh, in a yamen, can he not know what the so-called assassination history did? Even if you don't know, if you live in Yongzhou, you don't know how much taxes are in Yongzhou?

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your ......Minister" All the officials knelt on the ground, trembling. for fear that Li Chengqian would kill himself because of this.

"I know Thorn is your boss. So I don't dare to say more. But if this continues, do you know what kind of infamy you will have in the future? I won't kill you, think about it yourself. "Although Li Chengqian wants to kill these people who don't report it, but the people who are corrupt all over the world are not just a king? The people who shield it, not only the officials of Yongzhou?

Li Chengqian wants to kill, but what's the use of killing? Will you be able to recover all the money? No, you can't.

On the contrary, if Li Chengqian kills these people, then everyone who is an official in the Tang Dynasty will have some complaints against Li Chengqian. At that time, it was estimated that as soon as the scholars threw out an olive branch, these officials would collectively rebel. At that time, it was estimated that the Tang Dynasty would have been destroyed without the help of the scholars.

And if Li Chengqian doesn't kill them, he will give a heavy blow first, and he will give them sweet dates. Then these officials will be grateful. And wholeheartedly towards Datang.

Li Chengqian was a human being in two lifetimes, and these simple truths are still known.

"Yes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" all the officials nodded heavily.

"Alright, let's all stand up. Stop kneeling and think about how this thing will be resolved. Li Chengqian said

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, all the officials stopped being hypocritical and stood up all of them.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that we can distribute land to the people." An official thought for a moment and said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks this method is okay." Ma Zhou's eyes lit up and he immediately said.

"Allocate land?" Li Chengqian muttered what the official had said.

There is not so much money in the treasury, so it is impossible to use the money to make up for the losses of the people. It is indeed a good way to allocate land.

In ancient times, what was the most important thing for the people? Land. Because the people did very little business, the people could only rely on the land to support themselves. If the land is divided, it seems that it will indeed solve the current problem. Moreover, if the people have more land, the state will also pay more taxes.

But how much does each household share? Now the land that Datang can reclaim is almost all allocated. If it is a mandatory distribution, it will definitely involve the interests of others. Then, Datang will definitely enter the melee again. This is clearly not going to work.

"I have to say, your approach is good. However, there is one thing to note. How much do we distribute land, how do we divide it, and where do we divide it? Li Chengqian threw his doubts directly to the official who had just made the suggestion.

"This...", the official who made the suggestion fell into deep thought.

"Hey." The method he just thought of was immediately slapped to death by Li Chengqian, and Ma Zhou was also very uncomfortable.

"Now go and gather people and count how much land in Yongzhou is now uncultivated, and how much is wasteland. How many can be cultivated. There are also how many households there are in Yongzhou. Tell me the statistics before tomorrow. If I don't have it tomorrow, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
