Chapter 406: Man has to bow his head under the eaves
"From now on, inspect the officials of the world, and those who are diligent in state affairs, loyal to the monarch and love the people, can be promoted to officials."
"From now on, check the acres of Zhongtian, and replace the new land deed within a month."
"Ordered Li Jing to lead the army to sit in Lantian, ordered Su Dingfang to sit in the town of Bashang, set up a large battalion in Bashang, and ordered Pei Renji to be the secretary of the military department and report on his work in Beijing. Ordered Qin Qiong to be the general soldier of Tongguan, and ordered Guo Xiaoke to be Chen Cang's guard. ”
After Li Xin returned to the Wude Palace, he immediately issued three orders, which instantly shook the court and Guanzhong, not only those enemies in the court, but also Li Xin was taken aback, this was Li Xin's first large-scale mobilization of the army, the formation of an army, in this unbelievable order, the smart people clearly saw a sign. Pei Renji seems to have become the secretary of the military department, but in fact he has lost his military power.
And what made the Guan Long family even more uneasy and resentful in their chests was the second order, replacing the new land deed, what kind of concept is this, which means that Li Xin and his court recognized the current land distribution plan, the land in the hands of those untouchables was originally given by the family in private, and it was still in the hands of the untouchables on the surface, but in fact it still belonged to the family secretly.
"Damn, damn. I didn't expect Li Xin to come up with a plan, it's really hateful! Wei Yuancheng walked around the room, roaring loudly. In order to confuse Li Xin, he sent sixty percent of the Wei family's fields according to Dugu Huaien's strategy, but he didn't expect that Li Xin actually pretended not to know, and gave the 900,000 mu of land to those untouchables in one go.
"My lord, this is going to cut off our way of life! How can you endure this breath? A small family looked sad, but there was a panic in his eyes, as long as these families were a little powerful, they would think about buying land and land, and now they listened to Dugu Huaien's so-called strategy, and most of their life savings were ruined.
"It's all that old Wei Xuan. Dead dead, dead and counted us once. Dou Kang's face was gloomy and he said viciously.
"Is that him?" Wei Yuanzhao asked in surprise.
"Who else is not him? Don't forget it, such a vicious method, who dares to say it, the big families in the world will not let him go, do you think that Li Xin's people don't know how to deal with this strategy? Pei Shiju, the old fox, as well as Du Ruhui, Chu Suiliang and others are all heroes, can't you see it? I just don't want to say it. The Pei family is in Wenxi, and they don't know how many fields there are in Guanzhong. If you go on like this. I'm afraid that the Pei family will also lose a lot of land. Dou Kang said with a cold snort.
"So what now?" Wei Yuanzhao said a little nervously.
"I don't think Li Xin will fall out with us for the time being, otherwise he wouldn't say a month, which is enough for us to operate." Dou Kang shook his head and said, "This is forcing us to bow to him!" ”
"It's a big deal, we can get it again, just get the land deeds of those untouchables back, this official article is not very easy to do!" A strong man said indifferently.
"Stupid." Dou Kang reprimanded: "Didn't you see Li Xin's three orders? First, as long as a clerk can pass the guò inspection, he can become an official. Who are the officials? You can't be promoted to an official for life, and if you want to be an official, you have to take the exam, and you have to have a backstage. Officials are always turbid officials. did things, so these people were able to run rampant in the township and become local landlords, and now Li Xin has made this trick. Those guys are not Baba doing things for Li Xin, and they have been promoted to officials? ”
"Li Xin's trick is not ordinary!" Wei Yuancheng said in a low voice: "He will wipe out all the officials in the world, as long as he is promoted." Money and land are all things outside the body, and these officials will serve Li Xin desperately and will never listen to us again. ”
"Right now, can you just sit back and wait to die?" Wei Yuanzhao said dissatisfied.
"No, Li Xin is waiting for us to come to the door." Dou Kang shook his head and said, "He said that he would change the deed within a month, but he was actually waiting for us to give in?" Now I know why Li Yuan is not Li Xin's opponent, this person is too insidious and cunning. ”
"It's disgusting." Wei Yuanzhao said viciously.
"This is his counterattack against us, he wants to recruit soldiers and horses, and he needs those untouchables to participate, so he will attack us." Wei Yuancheng stood up and said: "The field is our foundation, we can't let it go now, but we can't let it too much, you guys wait a minute, I'll go to meet the Queen Mother and see what kind of idea the Queen Mother has." ”
"That's all it can be." Everyone was angry, but they had to do so, Li Xin had already gained the upper hand, and the key was that these handles were delivered to the door by themselves. Li Xin was afraid that he was waiting for everyone to make trouble, and he justifiably dispatched the army to kill those who resisted him.
Wei Fuer did not live in the palace, but still lived in the East Palace, she rarely asked about the affairs of the court, she watered the flowers when she had nothing to do, fed the fish and the like, at night Li Xin would come here for the night a few days in a month, and did not have any worries, Wei Fuer felt very comfortable with such a day.
"Niangniang, Master Wei Yuancheng Wei asks to see you." The little palace maid outside lowered her head and said.
"I also know that I have come to see this palace, so I will invite him in." Weaver's voice was flat, and she threw the fish food in her hand into the fish pond in front of her.
"Chen Wei Yuancheng has seen the Queen Mother." Wei Yuancheng sang loudly. No matter who this Wei Fuer is, but now that she is the queen mother, even if Wei Yuancheng doesn't look down on Wei Fuer, he can only respectfully meet her.
"Come on, you should be here." The corners of Wei Fuer's mouth showed a trace of disdain, it was this man, he relied on this person at the beginning, but he didn't expect to sell himself in a blink of an eye for the sake of Wei. Now that she finally thought of begging herself, Wei Fu'er felt a burst of joy in her heart and said, "Lord Wei is for the matter of the field? ”
"Exactly. The Queen Mother, this, please ask the Queen Mother to call the shots in this matter! I, Webster, hundreds of people are now counting on the Queen Mother. Wei Yuancheng knelt on the ground fiercely, this time it was not fake, the only one who could make Li Xin change his mind was the emperor on the bright side.
"Don't say it so miserable, how many people are in the Wei family, how much money they have, how many fields are there, will the palace not know?" Wei Fu'er said disdainfully: "However, if the Wei family wants to be long-term, they can't let you take advantage of it." Now there is a shortage of money in the DPRK. The Wei family must always show something! The prime minister wants to recruit troops, what, don't tell me, you didn't make trouble behind your back? Even I know, can I still hide it from the prime minister? ”
"I also ask the Queen Mother to call the shots." People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and so does Wei Yuancheng.
"The prime minister once told the palace that my great enemy in Guanzhong is outside, and if my own people are not united, do you still expect the enemy to spare our lives?" Wei Fu'er glanced at Wei Yuancheng dissatisfiedly and said, "Actually." Everyone has already given up a little, what do you want so much land for? As long as you are still officials in the court, will the court still lack your money and your rewards? There will still be land. In my opinion, every one of you gives up a little bit of the land, and then what? There is also less rent collection, what is this called? In the words of the prime minister, it is rent reduction and interest reduction. Wouldn't that be great for everyone? ”
"Yes, yes." Wei Yuancheng's face was not good-looking. With Li Xin's idea here, the rent and interest will be reduced, although it will not allow those untouchables to completely own the land, but their rent will be reduced. But he was able to gain the support of many untouchables, so that many people would be grateful to Dade, and his plan to recruit troops and horses could be implemented. Is it really really the right thing to do? Wei Yuancheng didn't have an idea for a while.
"Look at the court today. Although the prime minister has already opened a branch in the northwest, the vacancy in the imperial court is still relatively large, and you people are also old courtiers. It's time to come out and serve the court. What does the head of the Wei family think? Wei Fu'er looked at Wei Yuancheng with a smile.
"I should serve the court." Wei Yuancheng felt bitter in his heart, a typical slap and then a sweet date, did he really come out to serve Li Xin? Wei Yuancheng weighed it in his heart, and finally made up his mind, although it was a little embarrassing to bow to Li Xin, it was better than being dominated by others. At the very least, if you enter the imperial court, you can seek more benefits for yourself, and if you don't join, you will have nothing.
"Speaking of which, this palace is also the Wei family's, if the family members of this palace are unwilling to serve the imperial court, how can this palace face the subjects of the world?" Wei Fu'er's face was calm, and suddenly her face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but "vomit", and finally her face turned pale for a while, and several palace maids next to her hurriedly walked over.
"Stand down. Master Wei, you should also retreat! With an annoyed face, Weaver waved her hand and said.
"The minister retired." Wei Yuancheng looked suspicious, slowly retreated, and when he left, he also looked at Wei Fu'er carefully, and after a closer look, his complexion suddenly changed.
"Slut, what a slut." When Wei Yuancheng returned to the mansion, he told the matter again, and Wei Yuanzhao suddenly roared loudly: "How can she help Li Xin speak, and also reduce rent and interest, doesn't this make the family bow to Li Xin?" Big brother, how could you promise him. Wei Yuan looked at Wei Yuancheng, and when he saw him sitting on the chair, he couldn't help but ask. Wei Kuangbo also looked at Wei Yuancheng.
"In that case, how can I object." Wei Yuancheng said lightly: "What's more, she is already Li Xin's person, if she doesn't speak for Li Xin, who will speak for Li Xin?" ”
"What?" Wei Kuangbo and Wei Yuanzhao stood up suddenly, looking at Wei Yuancheng in horror, Wei Yuancheng provided too much information. The dignified Empress Dowager of the Great Sui Dynasty actually had an affair with Prime Minister Li Xin, which is the world's biggest scandal.
"I said why did Wei Fuer trust Li Xin so much in the first place, hehe, it turns out that he already has a leg." Wei Yuancheng sneered: "She is obedient to Li Xin, it turned out to be for her lover, tsk, now she even has a child." ”
"Big brother, this matter?" Wei Yuanzhao's eyes widened.
"We don't know anything." Wei Yuancheng waved his hand and said, "Don't you think this is an opportunity? A Li Yuan is not worth our heavy bets, Li Xin also has to observe more, hehe, what is the shortcoming that I only know now, the disease of the widow, this shortcoming is good! I don't have anything else in the Wei family, there are many women! In the future, we may not be able to become the second Dugu family. Wei Yuancheng's eyes rolled and he laughed, and Wei Kuangbo and Wei Yuanzhao both nodded. (To be continued......)
