After a good meal in the Ziyang Palace, it was already noon.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has gone down and prepared!"

After Xun You said goodbye, Xun Yue touched his beard, and his deep eyes revealed a burst of caution: "Your Majesty, the public policy is too dangerous, if the thief reacts, then Your Majesty will fall into a state of no return!" ”

"Xun Gong, don't worry, this plan seems to be dangerous, but it kills two birds with one stone. As long as I step by step and introduce the thief into the urn, then the matter of granting Tian Guanzhong and punishing the thief can be done at the same time! ”

Saying that, Liu Xie looked at Xun Yue: "Xun Gong, today's events cannot be seen in history. The public is a historian, but he wants to favor me for his own sake, my heart aches! ”

"History is the business, Shen is admonished, and the wind of the tree is not bad for His Majesty's world plan. Some things cannot appear in history, and Weichen naturally knows. ”

Xun Yue sighed softly and retreated.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xie waited for Duan Xuan to come, which was the first part of the strategy set by me and Xun You, and then deceived Dong Zhuo.

An hour later, Duan Xuan rushed to Fengtian Hall with a box of books, and the news of the Son of Heaven's inspection of the westward relocation of residential areas today has spread throughout the high-level of Hongnong County.

The people who moved west came here for less than a few days, so it was common sense that Duan Xuan didn't arrange it for a while, but he let the Son of Heaven see it, this is a big sin!

However, it was also a blessing to be able to let the Son of Heaven see the troubles of the great heroes of the family, and Duan Xuan walked into the hall with mixed feelings.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has come to ask for guilt!"

After speaking, he gently put down the box of bamboo rolls, and then knelt aside.

"Well, get up!" Evoke Duan to simmer, and then close the door of the temple.

With the information presented by Duan Xuan, this should be the first-hand information of Hongnong County.

This scroll clearly records the arable land of the whole county: eight million acres!

Is it a lot?

A family of five and 100 acres of farming is a well-off family situation in this time and space.

According to the volume, one-third of these eight million mu is controlled by the family tycoon, and this is still this year, Duan Xuan suppressed the Hongnong County clan to a certain extent, suppressing the land annexation;

In other words, the 800,000 people in Hongnong have less than seven acres of land per capita, which is far from reaching the level of a well-off society with one husband and five people with 100 acres of land.

This is still good, according to Duan Xuan's own statement, when he first came, more than half of the fertile land in Hongnong County was openly and secretly controlled by the family, and the self-cultivated farmers, hired farmers, and domestic farmers were equal;

Liu Xie took a deep look at Duan Xuan, who was standing solemnly on the side, and his eyes returned to the data of eight million mu, he wanted to rely on his relatively clear memory about the future generations to estimate how much water there was in this data?

He vaguely remembered that the cultivated land in Shaanxi Province in later generations was about 60 million mu, which was still the bottom line data of cultivated land drawn when the city was expanding rapidly, so the number of cultivated fields in the Han Dynasty now is not much less than that in later generations!

There is a gap between ancient and modern mu size, 100 mu in the Eastern Han Dynasty is about equal to about 30 mu in later generations, converted into this time and space data, it is 200 million mu, which is the total data of more than a dozen cities.

The area of Hongnong County today is about the size of one or two cities in later generations, plus other errors, the real arable land in Hongnong County should be about 2 or 30 million mu!

This is the true number of cultivated fields in Hongnong County today, so where are these two-thirds of the fields?

Eaten, can only be said to have been eaten!!

Liu Xie suddenly remembered a book he had read before, he didn't remember the title, but it was about how the land was circulating and disappearing. In order to evade taxes, the wealthy families used false reports and bribed local officials to make fewer and fewer arable fields registered by the government, and many lands disappeared inexplicably in the churning again and again.

Liu Xie finally understood why Xun Yu didn't let me come forward and re-measure the world, it was really because it was too offended.

If the unscrupulous wealthy families spent the fields that had been hidden for generations, if they were turned over at once, and there was no land deed to prove it, then the wealth that had been earned by generations of efforts to deceive and conceal it would be deprived in an instant.

No wonder Emperor Guangwu was so awesome ~ forceful, a Dutian order will still cause a rebellion in the four states!

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents!

Since this is the case, I can't come forward, so let Dong Zhuo come forward and block countless open guns and hidden arrows for me!

Looking at Duan Xuan who was expressionless on the side, Liu Xie was still a little surprised by his performance, as a child of a wealthy family, even if he was helpless to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, but he dared to make a move against the tycoons of the clan in a county, especially some of the wealthy clans in Hongnong County who bullied men and women and had a sluggish family style were directly forced away by him!

Of course, it was precisely because of Duan Xuan's behavior that Xun Yu would want to obey him!

And as long as I reveal the intention of suppressing the wealthy, I am not afraid that Duan Xuan will not betray Dong Zhuo, and then be loyal to me!

Because I am where his hope lies!

Only by following me can he fulfill the ambition in his heart and become the "him" in his heart.

"Zhongming, I ask you, why did you come to Hongnong County for less than a year, and half of the clan fled?" The Son of Heaven turned around, his naked gaze burst out, staring at Duan Xuan, who was taking care of himself.

Is it finally coming? From the time the Son of Heaven asked him to send the details of Hongnong County and what happened to the Son of Heaven in the morning, he guessed most of it!

Duan Xuan took a deep breath, came out from the side, came to the Son of Heaven, and bowed: "Before Weichen was twenty years old, he was the son of a wealthy man of the world; Until the age of forty-three, he was a dilapidated farmer! ”

"In the first half of his life, the minister went through ups and downs, and he knew the disadvantages of the world's great tycoons in annexing land, and he also felt the pain of the people selling their sons and daughters." Then, he raised his head slightly, and his eyes were determined: "The minister has nothing else to ask for in this life, but only one wish, to be the master of the people!" ”

"What a master for the people! For thousands of years, countless people have shouted this slogan, but a few people can really do it!! ”

"Duan Zhongming, I'll ask you!" The Son of Heaven stepped forward and pulled up Duan Xuan: "Would you like to make a bet with me?" ”

"We're listening~~~"

"Okay, you are aiming for the people, and so am I!" Liu Xie patted his hand: "Then take a gamble, I will work with you, whether I can really make decisions for the people, and whether I can return the world to a bright future!" ”

"Qing, do you dare to respond?"

Duan Xuan, who was fifty years old, looked at the immature but extremely old and spicy young man in front of him, closed his eyes and held back tears, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "If this is the case, I'm afraid there is only a twenty-eight chance of winning!" ”

"For the sake of the people, offend the world's great tycoons, do your majesty dare to respond?"

"Haha~~~" Liu Xie laughed wildly, without the slightest timidity: "Twenty-eight number, bet on a Lang Lang Qiankun!" I'm down! ”

"Weichen also took this bet, and I hope that Your Majesty will not break his word!"

"As long as you and I are of the same heart, all the bad families in the world are grass and wood!" Liu Xie pulled Duan Xuan, walked to the depths of the inner hall, and opened a curtain, but it was the tablet of the ancestor of the Liu family.

"It has been more than 400 years since the Han Dynasty rose to the high ancestor, but there has only been one grant of land and one degree of land!" Liu Xie felt deeply remorseful: "The Liu family is ashamed of the subjects of the world! ”

"Your Majesty, don't do that! The sons of heaven of the Han family are all lords who love the people, but sometimes they are powerless. Duan Xuan persuaded with some sentimentality: "For example, the first emperor, although he reused eunuchs, he was helpless, and most of the wealthy families in the world worked together to force the son of heaven of the Han family and open the door for them to enslave the people of the world." Therefore, the first emperor could only use eunuchs to resist the world's wealthy families, but in the end it was unsatisfactory. ”

"Shiya! Luck also!! Life is also !! ”

Duan Xuan sighed, which aroused Liu Xie's deep thought, indeed, his cheap father, while wanting to weaken the clan, wanted to have fun at the same time, and the final result was just to muddy the waters and accelerate the demise of the Han family, just like the usurper Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty.

"Do you know Wang Mang?" Liu Xie threw out a question and tried the political level of Duan Zhongming, who wanted to be the master of the people.

Duan Xuan looked at the Son of Heaven and remembered the gambling oath just now, so he didn't want to hide his secrets: "Weichen said in vain, Wang Mang really loves the people, but he is also a real thief in trouble!" ”

"This person reformed the ancient system, blindly followed the Confucian canon, and restored the backward Zhou ritual system when the Zhou Dynasty was restored; And repeatedly changed the currency system, contrary to the truth, and forced it, causing the family to camp and the people to suffer. ”

"This person has the heart to reform, but he has no ability to reform, and he is crowned as a national ~ thief, which is really self-inflicted!"

Yes, really good, Duan Xuan is talented, not only can command thousands of troops and horses, break the city and destroy the enemy; Being able to see problems from the root cause and deal with them without forgetting their original intentions is also what I want to learn!

"What I and Qing do in the future should be no different from Wang Mang, if you don't want to step into this person's back road, Qing can have a law?" The Son of Heaven hugged his fist at Duan Xuan and sincerely asked: "If there is a law, please teach me!" ”

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

Duan Xuan hurriedly dragged the Son of Heaven, and then whispered the long-hidden thoughts in his heart.

"Qing's great talent, I just got a glimpse of it today!"

"But I also have a plan, let's listen to it~~~"

The Son of Heaven said slowly, and Duan Xuan's heart was set off with waves, and wave after wave!

Your Majesty actually ・・・・・・

Putting away his stunned eyes, Duan Xuan had a straight face: "It's really heaven that wants to save Han Min, and you have to descend to Your Majesty as the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty!" ”

"The minister will act according to the policy of the saint, please watch it!"

Then, Liu Xie and Duan Xuan put a stick of incense on the tablet of the Son of Heaven of the Liu family, and made an oath: Fight for the country! Fight for the people!! Fight for future generations!!
