While Lu Tai and Lu Chan listened to the young man's complaint with a suspicious face, and then rushed to Changle Palace, Changlingyi, dozens of miles north of Chang'an City, was panicked at the moment.

With a team of dozens of internal history officials killing in the Tian's homestead in the south of the city, the entire Changlingyi fell into unprecedented fear.

As the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, almost all of the people living in Changlingyi were local Haoqiang who were forcibly relocated from the Kanto region.

The Tian family came earlier, and it has been nearly five years since they arrived in Chang'an, and most of the rest of the families are the wealthy merchants of Kanto who have been added to Changlingyi in the past five years.

At this time, these people had already felt the power of the 'iron fist of dictatorship' once, and now, seeing that the predecessor Tian had arrived in Changlingyi, he had not yet dodged the second iron fist, and they couldn't help but tremble.

Almost in half an hour, there were no more idle figures on the streets of Changlingyi, and everyone hurriedly returned home and closed their doors for fear of being affected by the pond fish.

And in the south of the city, on the street in front of the mansion group covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres, Yang Yi stood under a tree with a stern face, and the soldiers beside him bandaged his wounds.

·

"Yuyang Shizhong: Changlingyi has been banned from the city, the Tian family has nineteen registered men, forty-seven women, slaves and one hundred and seventy-six, and only one person has escaped!"

Listening to the report of the official in front of him, Yang Yi only nodded with a calm face, and then glanced at the series of figures kneeling on the street with a cold gaze without the slightest emotion.

"Well, thank you, brothers."

replied in a calm tone, and the wound had just been bandaged, Yang Yi carefully put on the robe he had taken off, and then moved his shoulders with a cold face.

"It's okay, it didn't hurt much."

As soon as he said in his heart, Yang Yi stepped forward slightly, looked at the series of figures standing on the side of the street, and several neatly placed corpses, and gave his second order after arriving at Changling.

"Fang Cai, all those of the Tian clan who raise knives and sticks to resist, and those who order Ding and slaves to be chaotic, are bound and driven to the east of the city and abandon the city!"

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Yi felt angry!

A mere merchant, watching Yang Yi personally follow the Son of Heaven, personally brought the internal history officials to the door, but dared to close the door and refuse to review?

Forget it, there are still a few second-class boys whose brains were kicked by donkeys, supporting domestic slaves and soldiers to climb the wall and bend bows and arrows to the outside?

Yang Yi can only say: Now, there is no need to find any reasons and evidence for the crime.

In the future, what will be the fate of using force against the central supervision group?

——Violently resisting the law as a businessman is enough to make Tian's entire household registration book die!

As for why Yang Yi brought the internal history of the government, and he was also a person from Wuyang and Wuyang, and came to the door with swords and weapons, Yang Yi was originally required to use his brains to see how to give an explanation.

But in the case that Yang Yi himself has been injured accidentally, this is not important.

Just ordering the family members, domestic slaves, and the Son of Heaven to personally draw bows and arrows is enough to block all the ways of the Tian family.

"The men and women who are in the household register, after the identity is verified, will be detained in Tingwei Waterboat Prison!"

"Immediately seal up the shops, farms, and acres under the Tian family's name, and block the Tian family's mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission! ”

Finally, after making an explanation, Yang Yi couldn't help but raise his head with a solemn face, and looked at the little official in front of him with a serious face.

"Remember, anyone!"

"Anyone who wants to forcibly break into the Tian family's mansion without the will of the Queen Mother will be judged as a crime!"

After that, Yang Yi ignored his left arm, which was still bleeding, jumped on a horse, and galloped towards Chang'an City.

——For the current Yang Yi, the most important thing is time......

※※※※※※※※※※

Yang Yi's galloping figure on a horse had not yet appeared south of Weishui, and the meritorious princes and nobles in Chang'an City had also received the news.

- It's not that Yang Yi is in the limelight, but the matter of food is directly related to the interests of every meritorious prince!

Today, there are about 16 million registered households in the Han Dynasty, of which more than 9 million are in Guanzhong and more than 700 in Kanto.

According to the calculations made by the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Internal History the year before last, after Emperor Gao promulgated the "Decree on the Granting of Fields to the People", there were not many hidden people left in Guanzhong; The population of Guanzhong, who is not registered in the internal history, is basically bandits.

And in the Kanto region, especially on the southeast coast, as well as in Liang, Zhao, Chu, Qi and other places, there are likely to be millions of hermits.

Of course, as far as the central government of Chang'an is concerned, only the more than 9 million households that can directly receive agricultural taxes have always been concerned.

The boundaries of the Kanto region, except for the counties directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, the rest of the territory, whether it was the land that was given to the princes and kings, or the food estates that were given to the marquis of Che, were no longer like the central Chang'an government to pay agricultural taxes.

Among them, the agricultural tax of the vassal states is collected by the political system of the vassal states, and then 30% of them is taken as the 'tribute' of the princes and kings to the Son of Heaven, and it is handed over to the Shaofu Neifu.

As for the Chehou fiefdom, it was even simpler - the agricultural tax that should have been paid to the government was directly collected by the Chehou.

This is also the origin of the word 'food yi': Che Hou relied on it for a living, so he ate this fiefdom.

The tax of the Chehou fiefdom is generally the agricultural tax according to the court's agricultural tax rate of 'one out of fifteen'.

For example, when the prime minister of the dynasty, Xiao He, and 10,000 households in Yuxian County, that is, 10,000 households in Yuxian County, handed over one-fifteenth of the annual harvest to Xiao He as a tax.

According to the calculation of the average yield of 2 to 3 stones per mu of 100 mu of land in the Han family, the annual agricultural tax to be paid by each household is about 15 to 20 stone of corn.

That is to say, when the prime minister of the dynasty, Marquis Xiao He, in addition to the annual income of 4,000 stone for the prime minister's position, there will be an income of 150,000 to 200,000 stone corn for the feudal tax.

Compared with the tax of tens of thousands of stones, the 4,000 stones of money are obviously not worth mentioning to Xiao He.

When the prime ministers of the dynasty are like this, not to mention other meritorious marquis and nobles, especially those who are idle at home, have no money, only the feudal state tax Che Hou.

In this way, the Chang'an court, and even the entire Gonghou Yuan class, turned a blind eye to the skyrocketing food prices, which was predictable.

It's very simple, let's take Xiao He as an example: if the price of grain is 100 yuan per stone, then Xiao He's income tax of 150,000 stone that year is worth 1.5 million yuan.

But if the price of grain rises to 1,000 yuan per stone, then Xiao He's tax income that year will become 15 million yuan!

According to the annual ration consumption of about 20 stone for adult men in the Han family, no matter how much Xiao He tried to Jiuchi Meat Forest, it was impossible for the more than 150,000 stone of grain produced by the feudal family to be eaten by Xiao He's family.

Not only Xiao He, but all Chehou who has more than 1,000 households in the food estate, ninety percent of his tax income that year, or even ninety percent of it, has to be sold for money.

This made the entire Chang'an court, which was supposed to act as a referee to stabilize prices and stabilize grain prices for the people, become the most direct vested interests in the soaring food prices.

- At this time, the court, not to mention the three princes and nine kings, even Lu Chan, who served as the captain of the southwest palace gate of Changle Palace, was holding the title of Marquis!

Except for such an extremely special example as Yangchengyan, in today's court, whoever doesn't want to top thousands of households is embarrassed to say that he is a 'courtier'!
