"How can it be!" "How unreasonable, bastard!"

Li Shimin scolded in the Liangyi Palace, obviously very dissatisfied with the latest news received. And when Chen Fei raided these Cui family's other courtyards in Bozhou, Li Shimin also received a flying pigeon from Chen Fei a few days ago, and got the news about Chen Fei's household arrangement. Although Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied with Chen Fei's unauthorized call to Qianniuwei at the beginning, he saw that there were thousands of black households in a small courtyard later, which made Li Shimin completely unable to sit still.

A small courtyard has a population of thousands, and there are more than a dozen or so courtyards like the Cui family. And if it is calculated in this way, the entire Cui family's hidden population has already reached tens of thousands to 100,000, and it needs to be carefully investigated. But even if it is tens of thousands, this is already completely terrifying for Li Shimin. If these tens of thousands of people are armed into a large army, I am afraid that one side can be divided at any time. Of course, this is unlikely, because the Cui family does not really want to rebel. But a family has tens of thousands of hidden people, which makes Li Shimin very afraid.

This is still the Cui family, if the seven sects and five surnames add up, then there are three or four hundred thousand hidden people. Coupled with those scholars who are not as good as the seven clans and five surnames, then I am afraid that the hidden population of the whole country has almost one million. This is almost 10 percent of Datang's current national population. And ten percent of the population is hidden by these families, and then they work for them, and they are all slaves. After the collapse of slavery, this large-scale slave storage has seriously touched the psychological bottom line of Li Shimin, the feudal emperor.

"Fang Aiqing, Du Aiqing, I plan to order a special important person to be sent from the center to clean up the hidden population of these big families. The hidden population of these great families is already enough to say that there are hundreds of thousands, but millions at most. If I ignore these populations, I'm afraid the next step will be even worse. Li Shimin said.

But Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, will this not stimulate these families too much." The most precious thing for those families is the land. That's the population. If we deprive them of their population, their power will be greatly reduced. ”

"No, it has to be! This matter should be resolved sooner rather than later, and must be resolved as soon as possible. If it is late, even if it is a year late each time, then the hidden population will have to give birth to another batch of people. And the strength of such a family is getting stronger and stronger, which is not good for us. Du Ruhui said.

Li Shimin immediately made up his mind that he must solve these problems of hiding people as soon as possible, if these problems are not solved, then Li Shimin may not be able to sleep.

"Your Majesty. The minister impeached the Bozhou assassin Shi Da Xi Shu, and the Bozhou record officer Chen Fei, who slandered the famous family Cui for rebellion, and asked the emperor to investigate. "Your Majesty, they invaded the Cui family's courtyard without authorization and robbed more than 100 slaves of the Cui family, they are really an official and bandit family, and the emperor should be severely punished!" ……

This time, the officials of the Cui family began to talk about this matter lightly, and in their mouths, they all aggravated Chen Fei's crimes. Then lower his own guilt of Cui fake. And everything is an understatement, hoping that Li Shimin can punish Chen Fei and then appease the Cui family.

This is a good idea, because in ancient times it was even a fast horse. They can't keep up with the speed of the flying pigeon. Many officials in ancient times used a time lag to take advantage of the time difference in message transmission, and then preemptively downplayed things. Then the recital of the complaint arrived, so that the emperor had a preconceived idea that it was the latter's fault. This is also the method of hitting the time difference, but they didn't expect that Chen Fei also had a flying pigeon book. Therefore, the speed is not slower than the Cui family, but it reacts faster than the Cui family.

"Cui family! A separate courtyard found out thousands of people, how can the Cui family explain this? As far as I know, there are more than a dozen such courtyards in the Cui family, so the Cui family hides tens of thousands of people, what does this mean? Want to rebel? Li Shimin said angrily.

And the spokesperson of the Cui family immediately said: "Don't dare! The Cui family is a famous family, how can they rebel! And all of this is that Chen Fei slandered the Cui family. When did the Cui family have such a large population, Chen Fei was jealous of the Cui family, so he slandered us. ”

Li Shimin immediately pushed the boat down the river and said: "I will immediately ask the staff to investigate, and I will send Wen Yanbo, the Chinese scholar, to Bozhou and Shandong to investigate relevant matters. If there is solid evidence for Chen Fei's crimes, then I will definitely deal with Chen Fei. If the Cui family is hiding the population, I will let Wen Yanbo organize people to restore the population to freedom! ”

Everyone was speechless, for Li Shimin's ability to push the boat down the river is really powerful, and he actually sent someone to investigate this matter directly. And at that time, it will definitely be possible to find out that the Cui family is a hidden population, if the Cui family wants to avoid tearing up their faces with the Li Tang family, it will inevitably have to give up these populations.

And after checking the Cui family, whether the Lu family, which is close at hand, will not be checked, this is also a problem. And when the time comes, I will stop by to check on the Lu family, then I am afraid that the Lu family will also be unlucky. In this way, it is completely possible to set off a nationwide wave of reorganizing households and people, so that more people can return to the management of the government. I'm afraid that those big families will be unlucky, so that the population they are hiding will be completely impossible to hide, and they will be completely exposed.

"Okay, this matter is settled, I immediately asked Wen Yanbo to ride a fast horse to Shandong, and then carefully investigate the cause of the corresponding matter. I believe that the Cui family will not hide the population, if nothing else, it should be Chen Fei's misunderstanding. I'm doing this to give the Cui family a clean slate! Li Shimin said.

Those spokespersons of the Cui family are also dumb and eat coptis, and they can't say anything about their suffering. Because Li Shimin looked like he was thinking about them one by one, he obviously wanted to investigate the origin of the matter. But this kind of thing can't stand up to investigation at all, how can tens of thousands of people hide it completely? People have left names and geese have left their voices, and the population of tens of thousands of people can be found out no matter how much they are hidden. Therefore, as long as Li Shimin is willing to check, he will be able to find out these populations. Therefore, there are not many options that can be given to the Cui family.

Either let the population go and let them return to the government as a free people. or that is, they completely fell out with Li Shimin, but these two are not the choices they are willing to choose! (To be continued......)
