No matter how reluctant he was, Li Xiao still left Changxing Island.

In the end, it occupies the capital, and now the place where the meeting is held is much higher.

Yingtai! On this island in the lake, Sun Chengzong, Li Xiao, Zhang Huangyan, and Lao Chen Fu gathered together again. As a young fox, Sun Chuanting can be regarded as a foil. Li Xiao was surprised to find that Li Hao followed Sun Chuanting's side. This kid wasn't on Li Xiu's boat, how did he get here?

"After Li Xiu's recommendation, your Li Hao officially worshiped under the Boya Gate. Brother Xiao, Brother Hao is still young. Do you think it's appropriate for him to see those human tragedies all day long? The young man Lang is too angry and will go the wrong way, but fortunately, he is still young now, and it can be of great use to let Boya train for a few years. Sun Chengzong seems to be able to see through Li Xiao's thoughts, and I have to say that this old fox's cultivation has improved again.

"I am relieved to have Mr. Boya teach you. There is Mr. Raubaya! "Apprenticeship is a big deal, Li Xiu did it without notifying Li Xiao, probably because he was afraid that Li Xiao would not agree.

Li Xiao raised his hands and agreed that Li Hao would worship Sun Chuanting as a teacher, and when Li Hao grew up, Sun Chuanting would be a new generation of old foxes. The old fox taught him to be a little fox anyway.

Sun Chuanting stood and accepted Li Xiao's salute, which was the treatment he should enjoy as a teacher salute. The Li family's parents died early, and now Li Xiao is the head of the Li family. He is qualified to take the place of his parents and give gifts to his younger brother's teacher.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Long live last month, I just apprenticed, and this month I received good apprentices. Congratulations! Zhang Huangyan smiled and bowed his hand to Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chuanting hurriedly returned the salute.

"Don't say more, Guanzhong was occupied by Shi Kefa. No one can contain Nanming's power anymore, and it is estimated that the next place for them to use troops should be us. What do you think you should do? "None of the people present are outsiders, and Li Xiao directly threw out the issue.

"The officials and gentry are one and the grain is one errand, and there is a lot of resistance in Shandong. Lu Xiangsheng has killed people one after another, and has killed three prefects and five prefects in a row. We are not afraid of killing, but the terrible thing is that we don't have so many suitable officials to replace them. After all, local government affairs need to be handled by someone. Even if you find a few suitable ones, they all have a relationship with Nanming's side.

Donglin has controlled the government for so many years, and almost all the scholars in the world are implicated with them. What we lack now is officials, qualified and reliable officials. According to the old man, whether it is a delay in the integration of officials and gentry to pay grain as an errand, so as to stabilize Shandong first.

Otherwise, once the war starts, the old man is afraid that those local officials will be very good at turning back. Zhang Huangyan has just returned from Shandong, and he knows the situation in Shandong best.

"One errand and one food, we must not stop! In the final analysis, it is the bravery of the warriors who are fighting at the front. The rear is fighting for money and food! Without the support of money and food, no matter how brave the soldiers in front are, they can only support for a while. Sun Chengzong leisurely refuted Zhang Huangyan's opinion.

Li Xiao nodded, Sun Chengzong was right. The integration of errands and the payment of grain is related to the finances of the Liao army, and it must not be abandoned halfway.

"There are a lot of half-hearted officials, and most of them are in private contact with the south. After all, they are all disciples and grandchildren of the Donglin Party, and as long as Nanming calls, it is estimated that most officials in Shandong will immediately defect. Although Hebei is better, it is not much stronger. Now it is more reassuring, that is, Liaodong. "Old Chen Fu's words are very authoritative, relying on his old background in Shandong. Lao Chen Fu's intelligence network is now very developed, and now it is accurate to the point that the county official has a report on which wife he slept with at night. It's even more powerful than the previous Dongchang Jinyi Weihe!

"This is also something that can't be helped, they were originally born in Donglin, how can they not be in the Donglin Party. To put it bluntly, there are many people who seek official positions for themselves. Few people really work for the well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty! Sun Chengzong was also quite helpless.

"He shouted loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, righteousness and shame, but his stomach was full of male thieves and female prostitutes. Those who can eat a vegetarian meal are considered good people! The officials in this world are rotten at all. If you want to revive the dynasty, how difficult it is! Sun Chuanting shook his head helplessly, the sea has been up and down for more than ten years, and he has heard too much and seen too much.

"The corruption of officials in this world is actually rooted in the emperor." Zhang Huangyan looked like he was speechless, and when everyone looked at him in surprise, the old god explained: "Corrupt officials have a handle because they are greedy, and if the emperor wants to move you, then this handle is the crime of losing his head." If the ministers do a good job to please the emperor, then you will turn a blind eye to the emperor who is greedy for bribes.

Wait until the emperor of the new dynasty ascends the throne and kill the corrupt officials. Tell me, whose pocket is this money greedy for? If you don't understand, you can think about Yan Song during the Jiajing period. Back then, most of the money that Yan Song's family confiscated was indebted. Now you get it? Emperor Mao likes to use corrupt officials, because the money that corrupt officials are greedy for is actually saving money for the emperor.

In the end, if the corrupt officials are killed, they can still be named the new emperor Shengming, and the reputation of anti-corruption and anti-corruption. Why not! ”

It was also the first time Li Xiao had heard such a theory, although it was a bit sensational at first. But when you think about it, is that really the case? There was a famous saying in the Qing Dynasty, He Shen fell, and Jiaqing was full. At that time, He Shen's family property of hundreds of millions of taels of silver greatly enriched the treasury of the Qing Dynasty.

"What does Mr. Zhang mean is that he wants to remove all the existing officials? A change of dynasty? This was beyond the scope of the meeting, and everyone held their breath to see how Zhang Huangyan would reply.

"It's okay to scrape bones to cure poison, but if you really want to remove the existing officials, you can directly shave off the bones. No one likes abscesses, but digging too much at once will kill you. ”

Everyone is silent, and officials are needed to maintain rule. But the current officials are all disciples and grandchildren of the Donglin Party, and they are not of the same mind to follow themselves. If Nanming really calls, I don't know how many prefects and counties will turn against each other.

If you want to fight Nanming, you must purge all the people who are internally unstable. The old fox Sun Chengzong couldn't figure out how to deal with the situation in front of him.

"I have an idea!" As soon as Li Xiao spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xiao's face again.

"My idea is land reform!"

"Agrarian reform?" No one understood what this new term meant.

"Shinong Industry and Commerce! Since we have offended the scholars, we must unite the three groups of people behind us. Who is the largest number of people in the world? Farmer!

And what do farmers want most? Land!

Agrarian reform meant that the land of large households and landlords was distributed to the peasants free of charge. Even the landlord's cattle, sheep, livestock, and real estate could be distributed to the peasants. When the peasants get the benefits, they will support us. As long as we bring in the peasants, who make up the majority of the population, we are almost invincible. ”

"If you forcibly distribute it like this, the master of the family will not do it. If it's messed up......! Sun Chuanting asked worriedly.

"If the lord doesn't want to, then it's a word. Kill! Moreover, it is necessary to mobilize the peasants to fight the landlords, so that those long-term workers in the family can complain to everyone. Shake out all the dirty things in the landlord's house! Mr. Sun, how many landlords are there in a village? And how many tenant farmers are there?

As long as we give the land to the peasants and win their support, we will tell the peasants. When the court of the Donglin Party comes, it will confiscate your land and take away the cattle that have been distributed to you.

When this man has nothing, he will never be greedy. Even if there were, it was only a matter of a few buckets of rice. But once this person has property, you tell him that another person will come and take it. Can he still fight with you? ”

Everyone gasped and gave the peasants the coveted land for nothing who was not happy if they used this method. Not to mention Shandong, all the peasants in the world will support the Longwu court. But this is too cruel for the landlords. The land that has been praised by our ancestors for generations is now distributed to the peasants with an order. If they don't hand it over, they will have their heads cut off or beaten to death by the peasants.

"Your idea will kill a lot of people, but it can win the support of the farmers." Sun Chengzong's voice was a little hoarse, this ploy was too poisonous.

"As long as the majority of farmers support us, then we will be invincible. As for the rule of officials, the place of my Ming Dynasty is divided into two kinds of people. That's the officials and the officials!

Official! It is the two Jinshi, and the Donglin Party strives to gather those people in their hands. These guys are connected to the broken bones and tendons of the Donglin Party, and they must not be used by non-special people.

In addition to the officials in the local yamen, that is the officials!

Many of these little officials have been in the yamen all their lives. No matter how capable they are, they can't become county lords. Because, the position of the county belongs to the scholar. Among these small officials, many of them have no problem being prefects. We have removed the officials, and we can give them the positions to them. With the support of those petty officials, at least our court will not collapse at the grassroots level. ”

"Shhh Everyone looked at Li Xiao like a monster. Once this idea is implemented, it is estimated that there will not be a single Donglin Party left in Dao County, Shandong Province. Those petty officials have been pressed by scholars all their lives, and they have been promoted to become rich. They can only stay and drink a sip of broth, and occasionally there is a piece of meat and bones, which is definitely Shangguan Ende. It needs to be remembered by our ancestors for generations to come!

"Scofa is still chasing the remnants of Dolgon, so we just need to ask Geritu for help. will be able to contain Shi Kefa in Yulin, the first line of Shenmu. Since the main force of the Nanjing Forbidden Army is in Guanzhong, we have plenty of time to implement this plan.

It will take us six months to a year to ensure the success of the land reform. As long as the land is distributed to the farmers, we will receive great support. When the time comes, the source of troops will no longer be a problem. Everyone thinks that their land will not be confiscated and returned to the master's family, and those who are eager to serve in the army will step through the threshold of the conscription office. ”

"It's done! In doing so, farmers all over the world will support us. Old Chen Fu's eyes lit up with excitement.

The land reform not only bought off the peasants of the whole world, but also took out a little bit of real money. The land belongs to the landlord, and the cattle belong to the landlord. Fighting local tyrants to divide the land is such a great temptation for farmers who have been running for a piece of land for generations.

"It's a bit confusing, but it does get farmers to support us. With the support of the peasants, we have an inexhaustible supply of manpower in our hands. ”

"Good! In that case, let's do it. Let Lu Xiangsheng do it in Shandong, and transfer Ao Canghai to Shandong. After resting for so long in Liaodong, you should also rest. There were two infantry divisions, one cavalry division. The Shandong Shi clan wanted to do something, but they were immediately bombarded by the army. ”

"Taking advantage of the fact that our territory is not big now, Shandong and Hebei will work together. In the future, the peasants will have land, and they will only need to pay a certain amount of public grain every year. ”

Li Xiao seemed to have opened a Pandora's box, and everyone was actively participating in the discussion. A matter of great importance to the imperial court was decided at the meeting. As for the detailed rules, Li Xiao contributed all the memories of land reform as seen from books.

The power of the traditional landlords is too strong, and the only ones who can defeat them. It is to knead a plate of loose peasants and turn it into a huge stone. This huge stone will smash the power of those landlords to pieces.

When they walked out of Yingtai, everyone's faces were grim. Great changes unseen in thousands of years are about to appear in Shandong and Hebei. It is difficult to predict what the consequences will be. Anyway, everyone knows that a lot of people will die, a lot of people.

Anyway, Li Xiao knows how bloody the land reform in later generations is.

The meeting was held in the palace, but Li Xiao really didn't want to sleep in the palace. For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, too many strange things have happened in this palace. In the Forbidden City of later generations, there are still haunted legends from time to time. Although Li Xiao is not afraid of ghosts, he is also unwilling to live in the palace.

Back at the mansion in the capital, Tokugawa Chihime personally fetched water to wash Li Xiao's face, and she looked very careful. It can be seen that after the Zhang family gave birth to a big fat boy, the pressure on Tokugawa Chihime was very great.

patted Tokugawa Chihime's head dotingly, Li Xiao took the cloth towel and found a reclining chair and covered his face.

Today's meeting was so tired that Li Xiao felt a burst of soreness in his waist.

As long as I was thinking about finding Tokugawa Chihime to give me a beating, all of a sudden Junko ran in. He saluted Li Xiao and said, "Handsome! Chen Lao and Li Beile came to visit together and were waiting outside. ”

At a glance, you can see that this old Chen Fu pays great attention to the subsections.

I just ended the meeting, how did I find my home again? And with Liebele? Could it be that among those dog-day officials, who broke out a shocking case?

"Please!" You don't have to figure it out, just find two people in.

"I've seen the Lord!" After the two of them came in, they saluted Li Xiao.

"We don't have to play this false courtesy between us! What's the matter? ”

"There is a big matter for you to discuss, if you succeed, you will definitely be able to make Shi Kefa surrender to us."

"Oh! Say it! Li Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
