Today is destined to be recorded in the annals of the Tang Dynasty.

This is an important negotiation related to the Tang Dynasty and the Chinese civilization towards the world.

But today, which is recorded in history, it is actually not so great and bright, and there is no passionate and majestic BGM that makes people's blood boil.

In fact, the people who participated in the banquet were all bargaining, each bargaining for their own benefit.

The Wang clan's land in the Tang Dynasty stopped expanding, which was a condition that must be achieved and was non-negotiable.

Why did the imperial court allow the noble clan to participate in the enclosure of the New World?

Hundreds of thousands of acres of land are given to them for nothing, and they are exempted from taxes for ten years, do you really think that pie has fallen from the sky?

Before the pie dropped, the price had already been marked, and if you want to eat it first, you have to pay something.

The problem of land annexation in Datang is already more serious, and the greed of the wang clan and landlords is endless, if it is allowed to develop, in less than a hundred years, Datang will rot from the inside out, rotten to the root.

Therefore, after the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the powerful Tang Dynasty collapsed overnight.

Is it really that fragile?

No, because before the collapse, Datang was already full of holes, and all kinds of problems accumulated day by day, and the so-called prosperous scenery was actually built on the basis of a powder keg that exploded at one point.

The fat man named An Lushan was just a little spark that detonated this powder keg, and the culprit of the collapse of the prosperous world was not him, but the connivance of the Son of Heaven and the greed of the family's gate valve.

What Li Qinzai has to do is to deal with the land annexation issue while there is still time, repair and treat the hidden dangers that are about to rot, and let Datang lay a solid foundation.

This is a secret and great work, but no one can understand the greatness of this work now, thousands of years later, the history books record today's discussion, maybe future generations will pay respectful when they pay tribute.

It is a necessary condition for the wang clan to stop land expansion, and if this cannot be done, there is no need to talk about it next, the imperial court will use strong means to achieve the goal.

After hearing Li Qinzai's conditions, the expressions of the heads of the families did not change much.

Prior to this, Li Qinzai had already proposed this condition to Lu Songxi, and before today's negotiation, Lu Songxi also told the heads of the family about this condition, so the condition mentioned by Li Qinzai was expected by them.

Can you say yes?

Of course I don't want to do it in my heart, the land in Jiangnan is fertile, it is the granary of the world, and the Wang clan has spent a lot of money and energy in order to annex the land in Jiangnan, and Li Qinzai asked them to give up with a word, how could they be willing?

But...... The land of the New World is also very attractive!

That's hundreds of thousands of acres at every turn, and the Wang clan has spent hundreds of years in Jiangnan, and it has accumulated from generation to generation to have today's scale of hundreds of thousands of acres.

What about the New World?

Landing will send a super newcomer gift package, at least hundreds of thousands of acres, in the future, the imperial court garrison, the establishment of official offices, that is the matter of the imperial court, if the new continent is really big, then the land of the wang clan will continue to expand, each family has more than hundreds of thousands of acres, at least one million starts.

Under the trade-off, which is more important?

The answer to this question had been thought out long before the heads of the family entered the camp today.

Lu Songxi took the lead in getting up and said: "I, the Lu clan of Wu County, am willing to agree to the conditions of the imperial court, from today onwards, the Lu clan will never expand a single acre of land in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

With the first person's statement, followed by the second, Yu Chengzhi also stood up and agreed.

Of the seven heads of the family, two of them took the lead, what else can the rest of them say?

Li Qinzaiti is not only a condition, but also the rules for participating in this game, the rules are set by the Son of Heaven, if you don't agree, don't want to continue to participate.

So all seven people stood up, saying that the land in Jiangnan had ended here, and the major noble clans would no longer expand.

Lee Chin-jae smiled with satisfaction.

The expected reaction, if you can't even agree to this, there is no need to talk about it.

The biggest problem solved, but, not enough.

There are still many issues to be discussed, including the issue of immigration after the Wang clan landed in the New World, the common people of the Tang Dynasty cannot be taken away, the population is already sparse, and the Wang clan can no longer dig the corner, want to cultivate the land of the New World, and find a way to recruit peasant labor.

Li Qinjae can give advice, such as the Goguryeo and Silla inhabitants who have just died, such as the young people of the Wa Kingdom who are waiting to be fed, and the aborigines of the New World.

It doesn't matter if you get these people over and be cattle envoys, the state and county governments of Datang can be treated as if they didn't see it.

At the end of a topic, Li Qinzai raised his glass and saluted each other again, the sense of ceremony is very important, today on the surface, the court and the wang clan gathered together, friendly and warm, mutual toast is essential.

Just as he was about to move on to the next topic, a tribal hurriedly approached, stood in the middle and clenched his fists and said: "Li Jungong, the people of Jiangning have gathered nearly 10,000, and it is only more than 50 miles away from Gusu City. ”

The heads of the families changed one after another, among them, Gu Chengzhang, the head of the Gu family of Wu County, had a particularly pale face, and quickly glanced at Li Qinzai in panic.

Li Qinzai was expressionless, and just hummed lightly.

The trilogy continued: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, King Xun, has led a light horse to meet him, and the spies of the Hundred Cavalry Division have sent news that His Royal Highness King Xun has encountered the people of the people's mutiny, and His Royal Highness is intercepting the people's ......."

Li Qinzai nodded and said lightly: "I know, retreat." ”

After a pause, Li Qinzai suddenly beckoned to Feng Su, who was standing behind him, and said, "Where is General Xue's headquarters stationed?" ”

Feng Su lowered his head and quickly glanced at the seven family masters, and said in a deep voice: "General Xue has 15,000 people, and he is stationed in Wujun Huiji and other places. ”

The words were vague, but the faces of the heads of the family darkened.

Wu County will be all over the place?

To be more straightforward, isn't it good for you to directly say that we are surrounded by our ancestral house?

Before the heads of the family left Gusu, they learned the news near the ancestral homes of Xue Rengui's soldiers, but they couldn't talk about it in the open.

That's right, Li Qinzai made it clear that he was threatening everyone, but this threat was in response to the popular uprising, and since the state and county officials re-measured the land in Jiangnan, rumors have spread everywhere in Jiangnan, and the interests of the landlords have been damaged, and they are ready to move.

At this time, the movements of the seven major wang clans in Jiangnan were particularly important, Xue Rengui garrisoned near the ancestral homes of each family, and Li Qinzai's purpose was to restrain the movements of the wang clan and ensure the stability of the Jiangnan situation.

The heads of the family are all far-sighted old foxes, and of course they know Li Qinzai's purpose, thinking that since they have no intention of fighting against the imperial court, the heads of the family have a clear conscience, so they chose to remain silent.

Now that Li Qinzai took the initiative to mention Xue Rengui's garrison, the faces of the family heads were not good-looking.

Silence is silence, everyone has a tacit understanding not to mention it, but now you mention it, you really don't put the face of the wang clan in your eyes.

Li Qinzai bared his teeth and smiled at everyone: "Forgive your sins, forgive your sins, everyone understands, of course I believe in your loyalty to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, but I don't guarantee that your clansmen will be impulsive, so just in case, the process that should be taken is still indispensable." ”

Everyone forced themselves to laugh a few times to show their understanding.

Li Qinzai said again: "Since all the noble families are calm, and the people of Jiangning have changed, there is no need to garrison outside your ancestral homes. ”

Saying that, Li Qinzai raised his voice and said: "Order General Xue to withdraw all the soldiers and horses, gather at the place where the people are staying, and ensure that His Royal Highness King Xun is well-prepared." ”

As soon as Feng Su received the order and turned to leave, another subordinate hurried over.

"Li Jungong, the Hundred Cavalry Division has an important military situation, and the commander behind the Jiang Ningmin Mutiny has been verified!"

With a bang, the wine glasses in the hands of several family heads fell to the ground, and their faces quickly turned pale.

Li Qinzai's expression remained unchanged, ignoring the trilogy for a while, but he looked around at everyone with a smile, and said lightly: "Everyone, the wine can't be disappointed, how can it fall to the ground?" Too careless. ”
