Li Qinzai dared to reach out to the issue of land annexation in the Tang Dynasty because he had bargaining chips in his hands.

If there are enough chips, it is enough to make the hearts of the world's family valves.

Taking interests as a bargaining chip and establishing rules for the world's family valves, this is a mutually beneficial exchange between the two sides, what about touching the core interests? Can I give your family another core benefit?

After Li Qinzai put forward the conditions, Lu Songxi was silent for a long time, but the expression on his face did not resist, but thought seriously.

Seeing Lu Songxi's expression, Li Qinzai knew that he was hesitating and weighing.

Since he has begun to hesitate, it proves that the benefits that Li Qinzai sent out are not small, and this benefit has already made him tempted.

Lu Songxi is one of the heads of the Jiangnan Wang family, he is all moved, presumably the other heads of the family will not resist too much.

Li Qinzai did not feel distressed about this benefit.

How big the New World is, Li Qinzai knows best.

Not to mention anything else, if the Datang fleet can land in North and South America, then this vast plain land on the continent can be fully incorporated into the territory of Datang.

On this continent, what about millions of acres, or even tens of millions of acres, of land sent away by the imperial court?

Compared to the area of the mainland, it is only a drop in the bucket.

More importantly, after the Tang fleet landed in the New World, many specific affairs such as land reclamation, farm construction, crop planting, etc., had to be done by the people, and it was impossible for the imperial court to do these things.

It just so happens that the noble family has money, people and background, and it is very suitable to leave the specific affairs of the development of the New World to the noble family.

In this way, the imperial court gets the new territory that has been developed, and the noble family gets hundreds of thousands or even millions of acres of land, as well as the output of crops piled up every year, which is a win-win situation for both sides.

Lu Songxi is an old man, and naturally knows very well that this is a win-win situation.

"Li Jungong said, the old man is willing to obey. But...... If the Lu clan of Wujun is the first to let go out, it will inevitably become the public enemy of the Jiangnan Wang clan, this ......" Lu Songxi hesitated.

The land in Jiangnan can no longer be expanded, but if the Lu clan becomes the public enemy of the Jiangnan clan, the situation will not be good, and this is not a matter that interests can solve.

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "The benefits that your Lu family gets, other families will also get slowly, that new continent is very large, equivalent to several Tang Dynasty, and the plains are mostly terrainous, and your Lu family in Wu County can't eat it." ”

"If the rest of the noble families get benefits, will they still treat Ling as a public enemy? You are clearly a beacon on the vast sea. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Songxi finally gritted his teeth fiercely: "Okay!" I, Wu Jun Lu, will gamble today! ”

At this moment, Lu Songxi finally revealed the decisiveness and responsibility of the head of the Jiangnan Wang family.

…………

March of the fourth year of Linde.

Li Qinzai was ordered to go down to Jiangnan and raid the Zhu family of Wu County, when the officialdom and people in Jiangnan were in turmoil and panic, Lu Songxi, the head of the Lu family in Wu County, suddenly declared to the outside world that he was willing to obey the edict of Li County.

The Lu family took the initiative to make up the tax on the land property to the imperial court this year, and Lu Songxi also submitted a table to Chang'an, asking the Son of Heaven to treat the Lu family for concealing the land and evading taxes in previous years.

The turmoil of the Zhu family's downfall has not yet subsided, and Lu Songxi's statement suddenly caused an uproar in Jiangnan.

The six major wang clans in the south of the Yangtze River were furious, and many landlords and squires who clinged to the wang clan were surprised, and the Lu clan of Wu County also became the object of people's verbal criticism, and for a time the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River became more and more turbulent, and the people's hearts were uneasy.

Lu Songxi's statement, without greeting him in advance, was tantamount to betraying the rest of the major clans.

Why did you sprint a hundred meters and slid on your knees, but you knelt extremely smoothly, didn't you roast the rest of the noble families on the fire?

Admit, you kneel fast enough, but can you not kneel so thoroughly?

A famous family with hundreds of years of history, don't you want any dignity at all?

It is not a trivial matter to make up the taxes, and it is a big expense for several noble families, especially from now on, the taxes of the noble families will be paid according to this amount, even if they continue to occupy the land, the taxes will still increase.

The hundred horsemen of the imperial court have already set their sights on them, and it is basically impossible to conceal the land in the future.

Li Qinzai gave the heads of the Wang clan a ten-day limit, and now the heads of the families are silently watching, trying to delay and break the situation.

In short, it is impossible to pay taxes honestly, the amount is too large for the noble family, and no matter how deep the background is, it cannot be endured.

At this critical moment, the Lu clan of Wujun actually turned back.

This can make the situation of the other noble families more difficult.

While the heads of the house were scolding the streets, there was a problem they couldn't figure out.

What kind of ecstasy soup did Li Qinzai pour into Lu Songxi, which made Lu Songxi so disregarding the dignity and dignity of the Wang clan and joining the imperial court with an iron heart.

Everyone is a smart person, and it is a matter of hundreds of years of family business, if there is not enough interests, how can Lu Songxi kneel so silky?

So, what benefits did Li Qinzai promise to Lu Songxi?

This question puzzled the heads of the family, so they sent people to inquire.

…………

The undercurrent between the Jiangnan wang clan is turbulent, and they are intrigued in silence.

Five days later.

In Gusu City, Li Qinzai sat in the back hall, and in front of him sat more than 30 officials wearing green robes and scarlet robes.

The officials were invited by Li Qinzai from various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

Some of them are the history of a certain state in the south of the Yangtze River, and some are county orders.

After all, after Li Qinzai erased the Wujun Zhu clan from the world overnight, his murderous reputation has spread all over the south of the Yangtze River.

The Son of Heaven is poor and ruthless, this young county prince personally summoned officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River, who dares not to come? No matter how iron the head is, it can't withstand the 20,000 soldiers who take turns chopping.

Li Qinzai's mood is very happy, hey, the officials in Jiangnan are still very sensible, look at how sensible people are, and they rushed to Gusu as soon as they said hello, unlike those treacherous and cunning heads of the wang clan, who politely toasted and didn't eat, but had to eat and drink.

Therefore, it is more comfortable to deal with people in the system, you don't have to think about any interest entanglements, personal relationships, my official is bigger than you, you have to come if you are called, how simple, crude and effective.

In the face of dozens of trembling officials, Li Qinzai smiled kinder than when he saw his own son.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have been invited from all over the country and county, and you have worked hard all the way." Li Qinzai said with a smile.

The officials stood up and laughed, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Li Qinzai said lightly: "You are all local officials, and you are busy with official business, so I won't talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point." ”

Looking around the hall, Li Qinzai said slowly: "I summoned you to Gusu today, and I have a few things to entrust, which is also the meaning of the Son of Heaven." ”

Everyone hurriedly got up, bowing their heads in awe.

Li Qinzai said: "First, in previous years, the land registration of the names of the major noble families in the south of the Yangtze River was made, and the number of acres of land was falsely reported, and the number of acres was very different......

Saying that, Li Qinzai's face gradually sank, and he said slowly: "To put it seriously, you are deceiving the king, and you should be punished for your crimes!" ”

With a plop, more than a dozen officials in the hall knelt down with pale faces.
