Chapter 30 - Guangjun Cangwu (Hidden Monarch)

For the people at the bottom, they don't really pay much attention to it, three meals a day can be eaten, the family can live comfortably, and it is enough to live in a house that does not leak wind and rain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info These people at the bottom don't care very much about who the superior is, even if the emperor changes one day, the emperor dies today and the emperor is deposed tomorrow, as long as the newly enthroned emperor can ensure the most basic interests of their people, they naturally don't care too much about the joints. Li Dan's understanding of this is naturally very clear, he deliberately changed the original Qi State planning for more than 300 years has not changed the regulations, itself twenty taxes and one tax is now when Li Dan himself is about to ascend the throne, he can adjust, the implementation of the harvest year tax exemption order, this regulation directly changed the senses of all the people, and they began to fully support Li Dan to the throne.

What can really arouse the concerns of Li Dan, who is about to ascend to the throne, is of course not these people. But in fact, the family that controls a large number of fields and slaves in various places is Li Dan's biggest concern now, especially the stability of the internal power structure of the two countries of Qi and Feng, and the five major families in Qi have been multiplying for more than 300 years, and their power is intertwined, which is not that Li Dan, a person who does not have a family background, does not dare to offend easily. Although he has been using various means to weaken the power of these families over the years, including weakening in all aspects in the name of Xuan Lejun, this has not affected the foundation of the five great families, except for the Lu family, who was deprived of their rights and exiled to the frontier because of their rebellion against the Qi State, although the other four families are now living in seclusion and not easily interfering in the government, the power they actually hold is still here, and it is not an existence that Li Dan can easily shake.

Obviously, because Li Dan is not from a noble background, he can achieve today's official position because of his own hard work and dedication step by step and the situation that he can get to by winning people's hearts. Whether it is his background or the background behind him, he can't be compared with these four great families, but he himself is a high-level decision-maker, and he has not had much affection for these families since he was a child. When he was the prime minister before, he didn't dare to take the initiative to do these things, and most of the time he followed Xuan Lejun behind him, serving as the one who made suggestions. And now, this right is basically in his own hands, and Li Dan naturally wants to make such a move as he spares no effort to reduce the power of these families.

Therefore, Li Dan took a combination of grace and power against these four families, first using Zhang Lingyi, who was from the Zhang family, to suppress the original unstoppable attitude of these four families, and then using various means to clean up the power of the four major families of Zhang, Lin, Lu, and Ye in the officialdom. At present, the entire family of the Ye family continues to move north from Que City in the north, and has basically left the center of power. The Lin family and the Lu family are still stranded in Quecheng, and the two families still control most of the fields and shops in Quecheng, and Lin Feng, the patriarch of the Lin family, because he listened to the persuasion of his daughter Lin Xuejun, withdrew the Lin family power located in various places, and concentrated the clansmen near the family's ancestral home. This is obviously an attitude, showing weakness to Li Dan, the person who is now actually in power in Qi State, and thus escaped the fatal purge, Li Dan in order to show grace, he named Lin Feng as the middle doctor, knighted the county lord of Pinghe, and allowed him to enter the court as an official.

And the Lu family didn't have such good luck, because of him
