Chapter 376: Lord Lu reforms Liangzhou
After being lazy for a while, Lu Tingxiu finally went to the mansion to sit in the hall, and by the way, introduced the two generals of the Zhenbei Army to a group of officials.
After the greetings, let's get down to business. Regarding the dispute over the territory of the Hu Liao family raised by the hereditary subordinate officials, Lu Tingxiu, as an official of the imperial court, has his own opinion, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the imperial court takes into account the contributions of the ancestors of the family to the southwest, so there is hereditary grace." However, since there is no one to match the official honors, the imperial court naturally wants to take it back. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hereditary subordinate officials suddenly exploded, involving their own interests, and someone stood up, "Lord Lu, you can't say that." According to the rules of our Great Southwest, no matter which family declines, we all rely on our own abilities, how can we be taken back by the imperial court? ”
"No matter which dynasty or generation, our southwest is hereditary."
"Do you all have an opinion?" Xiao Jingqi rested his hand on the saber at his waist and looked around at the subordinate officials gloomily, "Whoever has an opinion, say!" ”
Thinking of his method of killing people without blinking, the subordinate officer couldn't help but take a cold breath. No wonder the previous shelving controversy surnamed Lu turned out to be waiting for the northern soldiers to enter Liangzhou.
As long as none of them agree, the 30,000 northern army commanders outside the city can eat them alive.
Lu Tingxiu's expression was gentle, "You dissipate your anger, it is true that hereditary replacement is a gift from the imperial court, but the gift is also conditional, the Hu Liao family has committed chaos for several years, but you have turned a blind eye and even acquiesced in their behavior, what position do you have to carve up their territory?" Furthermore, which law of the imperial court stipulates that the territory of the unattacked shall be inherited by other families? ”
"But it used to be ......" but some people were not convinced.
Lu Tingxiu suddenly said sharply: "In the past, it was the imperial court whip that was beyond the reach of the whip, so that you had an opportunity to breed this unhealthy trend. ”
"My lord, you can't say that." A man with a violent temper was the first to stand up, "Although the merit belongs to the ancestors, when King Liang rebelled, how many sons and daughters of our family sacrificed to defend this land." ”
Xiao Jingqi smiled coldly and mocked: "Yes, if King Liang comes slowly, you will kill each other." ”
Everyone was so angry that their faces were red and their necks were thick, but Xiao Jingqi was clear about their old background, "The imperial court gave you a hereditary gift, so that you can protect the water and soil and protect the people." But look what ugly things you've done, do you want me to shake them out one by one? If it weren't for the protection of the imperial court, all of you would have died, and now it's just a matter of confiscating the property of the rebellious ministers......"
The fox looked around the crowd gloomily, and slammed his hand on the table, "You guys talk so much nonsense!" ”
The table slammed and shattered.
Xiao Jingqi was already murderous, and everyone was so calm by the evil aura that he couldn't say a word.
He stood up suddenly, and the armor on his body made a cold crashing sound, "Lao Tzu is here to inform you, not to ask for your opinion!" ”
There was a dead silence in the palace, and no one dared to speak out anymore.
Lu Tingxiu got up and flicked his sleeves, and said in a warm voice: "Today's matter, that's it, tomorrow I will send someone to investigate the family property of the Hu Liao family, if someone accidentally takes it by mistake, please return it early." If anyone is found to be guilty of adultery by the court, he will be punished according to the law. ”
When the three of them left, all the subordinate officials jumped to their feet in anger and scolded: "What are we trying to do, it is obvious that we are luring wolves into the room." ”
There are also some people who said calmly: "Anyway, we still keep our own territory, if we come over with the Liang army, we are only afraid that the grass will grow on the grave." ”
"Did you take the benefit of the surname Lu?" Suddenly, someone pointed at his nose and scolded, "Turn your elbow outward, when fighting for the Hu family's territory, you are the first." ”
"I'm just talking about things, don't bite like a mad dog, don't spit out what you eat."
The families already don't like each other, and now they don't let anyone.
It was Xiao Jingqi who walked out of the door and laughed, "Xiao Luzi, I gave you a good field today, right?" ”
Lu Tingxiu glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Fifth brother, can you stop calling me Xiao Luzi." "He has a woman now, and this name is obviously lacking in yang, which damages his majestic and tall image in front of Xia Qiu, and she used this name to make fun of him when she drilled into the bed last night.
Xiao Jingyu was also dissatisfied with him, "Old Five, I'm afraid that my younger brother and sister haven't drunk enough salt tea, right?" There is no serious one. ”
Being caught between the two, Xiao Jingqi didn't care at all, and seeing that the sky was fine, he immediately came to the main point again: "I heard that there are beautiful women in Liangzhou, why don't we go to the flower bar?" "The north is windy and sandy all year round, and I can't even see a woman, so I can't hold it back for a long time.
The two were ashamed of him, and left without looking back, Xiao Jingqi followed, "Second child, don't pretend to be deep, you have been single for a long time, don't you want to?" ”
Xiao Jingyu shook his head, he only hated that the third child didn't come, otherwise he would have to clean up the fifth child obediently.
Xiao Jingqi's exuberant energy had nowhere to vent, so he went directly out of the city and went to the military camp to train soldiers.
Lu Tingxiu returned home to prepare a detailed case file and began to organize people to liquidate the detailed family business of the Hu Liao family.
The subordinate officials went home one after another to discuss with the elders of the clan. They are already a plate of sand, and they usually look quite horizontal, but after the battle of Liangzhou, their vitality was greatly injured, and how dare they fight against the court with real knives and guns, even if they do it, there is no good fruit to eat.
Among these children of the world, Lu Tingxiu has already developed a few henchmen, and the imperial court has other favors for them, so they will naturally work hard to mediate, these are all trivial matters.
Big things, there's still to come.
Industrial exploitation is ongoing, Lu Tingxiu implemented a series of tax cuts and benevolent policies to benefit the people in the name of war and repair, coupled with the good reputation he has accumulated in Lin County, the people can't help but have a little more hope for him.
However, although the family made concessions, they were always unwilling, and when they saw Xiaoen Xiaohui surnamed Lu bribing the people, they also secretly fought back. They bought some people and spread the threat of 30,000 northern soldiers outside the city.
These are all leftovers from Lu Tingxiu, and there are even bigger remarks thrown out in the market, saying that the major families are bullying and oppressing the people, and they are against the court officials everywhere.
The people have memories, and the long-term civil strife and exploitation of the major families have long been miserable, and if the court stands up, they will naturally support it.
What's more, some people are rumored that the imperial court wants to end the hereditary official system, and the people of the southwest will be the same as the Central Plains, and they can become officials through the imperial examination.
This news exploded, and the various families and tribes immediately exploded.
They couldn't hold it anymore, but this time they were smart enough to come in a gang.
The bottom quarreled into a pot of porridge, if it weren't for the two generals of the Xiao family, I was afraid that Lu Tingxiu would have been swallowed alive by life.
