266: Grace and power
Tang Qishi saw that Yan Zhedu was silent in thought, thinking that he had moved his mind, so he took out a very thin gold card from his arms and handed it over: "Adults don't have to be so hard, the master often says that the combination of work and rest can get twice the result with half the effort." This is the VIP card of the Friendship Club, if you want a moment of leisure in your busy schedule, you might as well come here to sit for a while, drink tea and listen to the piano, which is always a beautiful thing. β
Yan Zhedu pushed the card back: "It's hard to sleep and eat without merit, and Tang Qishi's kindness is appreciated by Yan Mou's heart." β
Totoku said: "Your Excellency can save it first, and Lord Tang Qishi just said that you can come and sit when you have time." But then again, the next step is to rectify the fields, revise the decrees, and correct the dynasty, which is a major event that consumes mental effort, and I am afraid that within half a year, you and I will rarely live in peace~"
Zamuha also said: "Yes~ I, Zamuha, am a rough person and don't know how to write, but I also know that rejecting a friend's gift is to slap a friend in the face in public." Don't shirk it. β
He didn't accept this card, not because he was afraid of being criticized for accepting bribes, but because he had always been poor and accustomed to it.
Besides, eating people with soft mouths and soft hands with people, the three of them are dating themselves today, there must be major matters to discuss, how can they be constrained by a gold card?
Yan Zhedu didn't touch the gold card, but just asked the three of them: "Three adults, what is the matter with inviting each other today?" β
He replied: "Today, the matter of measuring the land is in full swing, and I believe that the adults have also read the reports submitted from all over the country, but judging from the situation in Hebei and Henan, the phenomenon of encroachment on land has reached an outrageous level!" β
Yan Zhedu said: "Shocking, shocking! β
Tang Qishi said: "Therefore, the purpose of inviting adults to come here today is to discuss a countermeasure, how to deal with the people who have privately swallowed the land, and how to deal with the land that has been cleared. β
Yan Zhedu's eyes rolled, and he understood most of it in his heart.
It stands to reason that the disposal of lawbreakers and land should have been discussed in the public office, and no matter what, it should not be discussed in this Fengyue field, and the only explanation is that it involves the interests of the forces represented by the three people, so it is necessary to come up with a charter in private first, which will not damage the law of the imperial court and the interests of all parties.
Yan Zhedu thought to himself: No wonder you are so kind of to me, this is because I am afraid that my Yushitai will give them small shoes!
Tokhtar filled a cup of tea with a cup of tea: "My lord, I can't hide it, this person who has the ability to privately swallow the land is mostly wealthy nobles, and it is inevitable that there will be some entanglements, so I want to invite the adults to come together to discuss a countermeasure, first of all, to ensure the implementation of the new law of the imperial court, and to take into account the interests of all parties." I was only a shallow learner, and I couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while, so I sincerely asked the adults for advice. β
Yan Zhedu's eyes were sincere, and he knew that what he said was true.
"Thisβ" Philip hesitated.
Tang Qishi said: "Don't worry, my lord, today's matter is just a consultation, and it is definitely not a public matter." β
Yan Zhedu hesitated: "Where is Master Buxiu..."
Totoku said: "Don't worry, my lord, the master already knows about this matter." β
Yan Zhe listened to it, and then he was relieved. Although the Great Khan is now in power, assisted by the prime ministers on the left and right, the real helmsman of the Great Yuan Dynasty is the master of endless life, if the three of them plan this matter privately, it is easy to attract suspicion and cause trouble.
Yan Zhe said: "But I don't know, what is the master's opinion?" β
"The master's meaning, when the land is cleared, the Great Khan will issue an order to nationalize all the confiscated and donated land donated by the nobles, and implement the "contract" system. β
"Contracting?" He was puzzled.
Tang Qishi explained: "The meaning of contracting is that the people can directly lease land from the Great Khan, and each piece of land is taxed according to the average amount of local products in the past ten years, and the first year is rent-free, and from the second year onwards, the land is planted first, and then the rent is paid. β
Yan Zhedu's eyes lit up: "Since there is a master's clever plan, why do you need to put a beak." β
"Although this method solves the purpose of apprentices, it does not punish lawbreakers who steal fields. β
Yan Zhedu nodded: "The meaning of the Lord is to ensure the implementation of the lawbreakers, but this punishment must also be moderate, so as not to cause public indignation." β
Toto's eyes lit up and said, "My lord hit the nail on the head." β
Yan Zhedu picked up the teacup and said faintly: "So much land has been planted for them for so many years, and it stands to reason that all the grain that has been privately swallowed by the fields should be handed over to the treasury, but the Great Khan is merciful and does not blame the past!" But at the beginning of the next spring, the lawless must sow all the land they have usurped and then distribute it to the people. β
Zamuha couldn't sit still: "No, no, no, this method is too tough, and it is bound to arouse the public anger of the major nobles!" β
Yan Zhe said: "Public indignation? Lord Zamuha, how is the status of these people compared to King Liang? β
Zamuha's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward: "Lord Yan Zhedu, what do you mean by this?" β
Tokhtar reached out and poked Zamuha underneath.
Yan Zhedu was always smiling, and looking at Zamuha's performance, he was even more sure that the Great Khan had an elusive assassination team in his hands, and the cases of King Liang and the Hulunbuir grassland were indeed from the hands of the Great Khan.
"Lord Zamuha, don't be impatient, it's just a small talk in the secret room." Yan Zhe tasted the tea, looking so comfortable.
Tang Qishi hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Zamuha: "Taste this Longjing, although it is not as delicious as ordering tea, it is also sweet." β
Totoku said, "Your Excellency, please continue. β
Since Yan Zhedu knew the truth, he no longer mentioned the matter of the assassination team, and said: "Only by combining grace and power can you rule the world." The forced sowing was a foreshadowing of the Great Khan's benevolence. β
The three of them were puzzled: "Grace? β
Yan Zhe said: "If you force the seeds, the wealthy will have complaints, but if you are afraid of the thunderous methods of the Great Khan, you will also dare to be angry and dare not speak." However, the wealthy government is intertwined and blindly suppressed, which will make the local government empty and wrong, and no matter how good the decree is, it will be difficult to implement, even if there is supervision by the imperial history platform, it is not a long-term solution. Therefore, after the forced sowing order, the Zhongshu Province can issue a mercy order, which says that land annexation is a century-old disease, and it has existed since ancient times, and it is not allowed to sin the people of a century-old disaster. The new policy should be implemented, and all kinds of waste will be prosperous, and the courtiers and the people need to work together to go to the future. Therefore, the Great Khan was sympathetic to his courtiers and allocated a number of gold banknotes to compensate for the grain and reassure the courtiers. In this way, the people can benefit, the wealthy family will not lose, and the Great Khan can establish prestige among the common people and the wealthy nobles, why not? He paused, then smiled and said, "The lord and Shilin raise their sons, and the people and inkmen have a close relationship, so you might as well use it." β
After listening to it, he got up very respectfully and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Yan Zhedu, and picked up his teacup: "What the adults said, every word is beautiful, and Tokhtar has been taught." β
Yan Zhedu and Totok respect each other, and drink it all.
Tang Qishi said: "My lord, I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." β
Yan Zhe said: "Prime Minister, please speak." β
Tang Qishi said: "The punishment order can be issued after the autumn, and the grace order can be issued before the spring planting, what do you think?" β
Yan Zhe said with a smile: "Lord Tang Qishi, this plan is very clever. β
Zamuha didn't know what he meant: "Why do you want to spend another winter?" β
Yan Zhe said with a smile: "I am thirsty, this tea is sweet." β
Zamuha looked at the teacup, pondered for a while, and said: "I understand, when they are so hungry that they are flustered and have no owner, even if they give a soak of, they will feel that it is delicious in the world!" Right, right, or not? β
The three of them rolled their eyes in unison, so that they could not spit out the tea in their mouths.
Zamuha said: "What, what I said is not right? β
He took off his hand and put his forehead on his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, it's just vulgar." β
Zamuha didn't take it seriously: "The master said, I call it true temperament!" β
Tang Qishi didn't bother to pay attention to Zamuha, so he pushed the gold card in front of Yan Zhedu: "Thank you, Lord for your guidance." β
Yan Zhedu picked up the card: "Then Yan will do whatever he wants?" β
Totoku: "It's so best~"
In the box, there was a sound of joy, and the person hiding behind Zhong Kui's ghost hunting closed the mechanism with a smile.
