Chapter 46: Li Mi's Scheme
Liu Ziqiu knew that people like Wei Zheng knew how to choose a good minister, and only by acting like a wise gentleman could he be willing to serve you, so he didn't hide his selfishness, and said with a smile: "Yang Guangkai entered the Shike, and each time he took more than a dozen people, and a few people, and he also had to take care of those powerful and wealthy families." Don't talk about the Xie family, even if these prominent families in Jiangnan are combined, how many can they win at a time? Therefore, what the Xie family said about participating in the imperial examination is just a cover. ”
Wei Zheng said with a smile: "It turns out that the lord has already seen it, but Wei is getting an axe at the class gate." However, Wei still has something unclear. ”
"Brother Wei, please speak!"
"Wei saw that the lord's school was extremely serious, but it didn't look like hiding people's eyes, and he thought that the lord really wanted them to participate in the imperial examination."
"Brother Wei, you misunderstood. In fact, the imperial examination is indeed a great initiative, but Yang Guang has not done enough. Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the imperial examination first." In Brother Wei's opinion, what does the Xie family want? ”
In Wei Zheng's opinion, this is Liu Ziqiu's study of his knowledge in turn, and he can't help but cheer up his spirit, and Zhengse said: "The Xie family wants to rebel!" ”
Liu Ziqiu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, if you want to rebel with me, you can't think about everyone else in this way.
But he heard Wei Zheng continue: "The lord also said just now that Jinshike can only take a few people at a time. If the Xie family wants to take this road and return to the government, it is good that no one else participates, so how can they come to win over the Xiao family? Old Man Xiao is a martial artist, what is there to take a fancy to the Xie family? ”
Liu Ziqiu's face became solemn and nodded again and again.
Wei Zheng asked again: "The lord thinks that if the Xie family rebels, what is the chance of victory?" ”
Liu Ziqiu didn't know if the Xie family had rebelled in the original history, anyway, he had no impression in his memory. But he knew that since the Tang Dynasty, the Xie family had completely declined. Maybe the Xie family had not had time to rebel, and it had already been wiped out by the imperial court.
"Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out for ten years. The Xie family are all literati, but I am afraid that they don't even have a chance of winning. Liu Ziqiu shook his head, suddenly remembering that Wei Zheng was also a literati, and hurriedly brushed his way, "Brother Wei, I'm not talking about you." ”
Wei Zheng smiled: "Wei is not a literati, just a Taoist priest. ”
Liu Ziqiu despised him in his heart, and asked him his name that day, he said that he was a teacher, and now he said that he was a literati, but he said that he was a Taoist.
But I heard Wei Zheng ask again: "I don't know what the lord has planned?" ”
Liu Ziqiu pondered for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "I still want to ask Brother Wei." ”
Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "The lord can complain to the government!" ”
"Accuse?"
"Changshan Village is built like a camp, and the village trains soldiers day and night. Those who believe say that the lord is to prevent thieves, and those who don't believe are afraid that they will say that the lord has rebelled. Wei Zheng said slowly, "The lord sued the Xie family, and when he can get an official position, all this will be justified." ”
This is an era in which "there is always a suspicion of guilt", especially when it comes to rebellion, let alone human rights and the legal system. As the head of the Jiangnan Wang clan, the Xie family may have been targeted by the imperial court for a long time, and once someone accuses him of rebellion, I am afraid that the whole clan will suffer a catastrophe. In history, the decline of the Xie family may have been suppressed by the imperial court due to the lack of secrecy.
But it's one thing for him to leak secrets himself, and it's another thing for Liu Ziqiu to go to sue. There are thousands of people in the Xie family, and most of them should be innocent. Liu Ziqiu kills people without blinking, but he doesn't want to be stained with the blood of innocents.
Liu Ziqiu shook his head without hesitation and said, "Brother Wei, stepping on the corpses of women and children to climb up, this kind of thing, please forgive Liu for not being able to do it!" ”
"Good! Wei really didn't see the wrong person! Wei Zheng laughed and said, "It's not difficult for the lord to find an official body. Changshan Village used to fish for a living, and it was a pariah, and the imperial court didn't even bother to collect taxes. Now it's different, the village has bought land and turned to farming, and the lord can go to the government to ask for a good return. ”
In the Sui Dynasty system, 100 households were the li, and the village was set up, and the township was set up in the township. Although Li Zheng and Xiangzheng are not among the court officials, they can be regarded as squires in size, which is much stronger than cloth clothes and white bodies.
Only then did Liu Ziqiu know that Wei Zheng was still testing himself, and secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, but said on his lips: "Liu Mou has a relationship with Lord Ouyang Yu of Yanguan County, and it may not be difficult to ask for a right." But how should the Xie family deal with this matter? Liu had promised them that he would visit them within ten days. ”
Wei Zheng thought for a while and said, "The lord has two paths to choose from. One is pretending not to know, and the other is to persuade the Xie family to dispel their thoughts. ”
In fact, Liu Ziqiu and Wei Zheng both knew very well that the end of the Xie family's rebellion was doomed to failure. Pretending to be ignorant is actually tantamount to sitting back and watching the Xie family perish. In Liu Ziqiu's opinion, this is really no different from his accusation.
Liu Ziqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Although Liu has no friendship with the Xie family, and thousands of lives are at stake, let's try to persuade them." ”
……
There was a heavy snowfall in Luoyang City, Yang Guang went to Shanglin Xiyuan to enjoy the snow scene, and today's court meeting had to be abandoned. Yang Xuangan shook his head and left Zetianmen, but saw Li Mi coming forward, and arched his hand and said, "Brother Xuangan, I haven't seen you for a long time, can you enjoy the light and go to the cold house for a drink?" ”
Yang Xuangan knew that he had something to say, so he hurriedly replied: "Yang has this intention." ”
After three rounds of drinking, he retreated, and Li Mi told Yang Xuangan what he heard in the palace last night. Yang Xuangan sighed: "What a good opportunity! If Yang Guang drives the expedition in person, Lu Mingyue is in Shandong, and King Xie is in Jiangnan at the same time, the court will be difficult to take care of, and I will be harmonious! It's a pity, it's a pity! ”
Li Mi said: "Yang Guang trusts Yuwenshu the most, Brother Xuangan should befriend him, ask him to speak, or say that Yang Guang is personally recruited." ”
Yang Xuan sighed and said: "My father and Yu Wenshu were in charge of the same dynasty before his death, and there were inevitably some open and secret battles, how could he be willing to make friends with Yang." ”
Li Mi said with a smile: "Yuwenshu has three sons, the eldest son is the most favored, and the second son is wise and stubborn by nature, Brother Xuangan can start from these two." ”
Yang Xuangan stroked his palm and said: "Thank you Pushan Gong for reminding me, I will invite his two brothers to a banquet tomorrow." ”
Li Mi shook his head and said, "No." Yu Wenhua is cruel by nature, greedy and arrogant, Yu Wenzhi and is a cockfighting dog all day long, if Xuan feels that if he intersects with such people, he will tarnish his name. Li accompanied Yang Guang on his northern tour, and when he was in Yulin, he got a news that the Yuwen brothers violated the emperor's will and traded privately with the Turks. ”
Yang Xuangan suddenly said: "Pushan Gong asked Yang to quietly reveal this news and spread it to Yang Guang's ears. Yang Guang was furious, and he would definitely punish the two brothers, and when the time came, Yuwenshu would inevitably be implicated, and it was really a clever plan! ”
Li Mi smiled: "This is just the beginning, there is another plan, which can make Yuwenshu for my use." ”
The two drank and talked until it was getting late, and then they finalized the matters.
Li Mi said goodbye to Yang Xuangan and walked to Suzaku Street, when he suddenly saw a noisy sound in front of him. Li Millema watched, only to see two **-year-old children wrestling there outside a high gate. After a short fight, one child lifted another child into the air, and there was a cheer all around.
Li Mi turned his head and asked, "Whose child is this?" ”
Congren replied: "This is a pair of twin sons of the young eunuch Li Yuan Li in the palace, the elder brother is called Li Shimin, and the younger brother is called Li Xuanba. That Li Xuanba was born with divine power, although he was invincible. ”
Li Mi was a direct subordinate of Li Yuan, and he couldn't help but stop and watch. Suddenly, there was a shout from inside the door, and the two children ran in with a giggling smile. Li Mi frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and immediately raised his whip and passed in front of the Li Mansion.
……
At this time, Liu Ziqiu also returned to Changshan Village from Yanguan County.
Ouyang Yu, who was temporarily in charge of county affairs, still had an impression of Liu Ziqiu, knowing that he was a person that Yuan Tiangang particularly valued, so it was naturally convenient. In fact, the establishment of Lizheng in Changshan Village is only beneficial to Yanguan County, and there is no harm. First, it is convenient to manage, second, it can increase taxes, and third, it is a forced labor, not to mention that Liu Ziqiu also gave him a generous gift.
There are only 78 households in Changshan Village, less than 100 households. Ouyang Yu simply did the favor to the end, and put a small village ten miles south of Changshan Village, a total of 25 families, into Changshan Village, and told Liu Ziqiu to work hard and strive to find a township for him next year. Of course, Liu Ziqiu is not uncommon, but in the face of Ouyang Yu's kindness, he still thanked him again and again.
The villagers of Changshan Village are untouchables who make a living by fishing by the sea, and in the past, they did not even have a household registration, and belonged to the ranks of black households. Therefore, Yang Jishan dared to start the idea of slaughtering the village after a long time of indecision. Now that Liu Ziqiu has done the right thing and re-registered, the black households have been whitewashed, and the worries in this regard are much smaller.
Knowing that Liu Ziqiu had done a good job, the villagers cheered. Liu Ziqiu waved his hand, stabilized everyone, and ordered: "Erzhuang, you pick five people, and I will go to the county government with you tomorrow!" ”
The most fearful thing for the Li Zheng in other villages is to take out the conscription from their own village to serve in the conscription, because the conscription is not paid, and it is purely compulsory labor. The scope of conscription is also very wide, from the coolies digging canals, to the clerks and catchers in the yamen, all of which belong to conscription.
Liu Ziqiu was very generous, and he drew six young people from the village at once, which was far more than the quota that ordinary villages should afford, which was also what he promised Ouyang Yu in the county. In Ouyang Yu's view, this is Liu Ziqiu's reward for his appointment of Li Zheng, but he didn't know that Liu Ziqiu was to install eyes and ears in the county ya, so that he could find out the news from all sides in time.
Most of the villagers are illiterate, and the scribes can't do it, so they can only serve as officials and catch fast. However, there are some common practices for the servants and the fast catchers, and Er Zhuang and the others are full of joy. The only downside is that you stay away from home and are not free.
Liu Ziqiu said again: "I'm going to Moling tomorrow, and the affairs of the village will be represented by Mr. Wei for the time being." Bolt, training matters, you keep an eye on it, if anyone is lazy, wait for me to come back, and never spare it! ”
Xiao Dapeng asked, "Big brother, what should I do?" Is it to accompany you to Xie's house? ”
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "The twenty-five families that Ouyang County ordered to come over and take a look." It is up to them to decide whether they will live where they are or move to the village. But there's one thing that you have to make clear to them. Conscription may not be apportioned to them, but the tax payable cannot be exempted. ”
Xiao Dapeng was obviously a little reluctant, but in fact, he didn't understand Liu Ziqiu's thoughts.
