Because Li Yuan, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, was a gate valve himself, when the Tang Dynasty swept the world, it did not break the inherent class model, but on the contrary, it was further strengthened.

That is, Emperor Taizong was too strong and did a lot of things to suppress the gate valve during his reign, which left Li Zhi a relatively stable period of time to re-establish the majesty of imperial power.

In fact, Li Zhi also did it, whether it was in the battle for the Western Regions or in the counterinsurgency incident in the country, he did not do a bad job, and finally after completely pacifying the three eastern kingdoms, Li Zhi's prestige was basically unshakable.

Just because the Li family was born in the gate valve, they have a very clear understanding of the harm of the gate valve to the stability of the country.

By now, the country has finally stabilized, and Li Zhi has turned around and wanted to extinguish the gate valve, but it is actually too late.

Because even a small and emerging gate lord like the Yun family has the power to arm fifty armed tribes.

And in the whole Tang Dynasty, there were no less than two hundred marquis like Yun Chu, plus a larger number of counts, viscounts, barons, and more powerful dukes, county kings, princesses, and princes, it became a large extralegal power that was not subject to the imperial power.

Yun Chu, who used to be an official, has a deep understanding of the uniqueness of the law and the uniqueness of law enforcement agencies.

The fact that there are so many private armed forces that are not limited by the royal power now shows that the imperial power has been challenged.

Because the main object of private defense is the imperial power!

The power of the aristocracy was not only manifested in the private ministry, but also in the feudal households.

Yun Chu's Lantian Marquis title can allow him to collect 20% of Lantian County's taxes every year!

Among them, 200 households were sealed, which means that whether the 200 households on the Ba can survive is in the thoughts of Yun Chu, the marquis, theoretically, he can casually set the taxes he wants to formulate for the 200 households, and then collect all these taxes for himself.

He can casually take away the women of these two hundred people's families, even if he tortures the girls to death, the government will not ask, because they are the feudal households of the Marquis of Lantian.

This is the so-called feudalism of the Tang Dynasty.

However, what is even more terrible than exploiting their own closed households is that there is basically no precedent for the noble families to exploit their own closed households to death.

Even if he is greedy, lustful, and disgusting like Xu Jingzong, he has not heard that he snatched the daughter of the closed family.

On the contrary, his family's closed life is generally better than that of the people around him.

The closure of the Yun family is even more so, because of Yu Xiurong, the Buddha of the Ten Thousand Families, he often pays taxes, and then rewards them in the name of Yun Chu, and he is about to become a pig in a few years.

Since their own households can't be excessively exploited, and the nobles want to live a good life of lustful dogs and horses, what should they do?

There is no good way, only to exploit those people who do not belong to themselves, but only belong to Li Zhi himself.

Therefore, the girls that Xu Jingzong ruined actually belonged to Li Zhi, and the money Yun Chu earned was also earned from Li Zhi's people.

It is for this reason that among all the nobles, Li Zhi is the biggest noble, and at the same time, he is also the biggest wrong.

Under this kind of political system, according to the theory of people's hearts, how many officials can be born who are not self-interested and concentrate on benefiting Li Zhi?

Anyway, Yun Chu is not optimistic at all.

Speaking of which, officials like him, Wen Rou, Di Renjie, and Liu Renliang who consider the interests of all the people are already rare.

As long as Li Zhi was not so stupid as to care about the affairs of the palace and ignore external affairs, these people would basically not be purged from his bureaucratic ranks.

The emperor would never fight a local tyrant and divide the land, because he was the biggest local tyrant and landlord.

However, this did not prevent Yun Chu from setting off a vigorous upsurge of fighting local tyrants and dividing land in Wannian County.

This time, he was designated as a local tyrant, and the object of dividing the land was the lackeys of Cui's family - Du Chongming, Cao Hui, Zhao Ting, Qu Tianming, Feng Zheng!

Speaking of which, these five people are all very good smart people, they have a keen sense of smell, coupled with the financial support of Cui's family, they can always make decisive bets at the first time when the policy of benefiting the people formulated by Yunchu is issued, and at the first time when the people are still dizzy, and reap the greatest benefits.

Similarly, in Wannian County, there is basically no opportunity for anyone to use violent means to grab the first bucket of bloody money, so although the actions of these five people made Yun Chu angry, the means of making people rich were reasonable and legal.

A lot of opportunities were automatically given to people by Yunchu.

This is the reason why Yun Chu will admit that he is incompetent and angry in front of Cui Zhen.

If ordinary people can get rich at the same time with these guys, and can play a role in taking the lead in getting rich, Yun Chu will not only not be angry, but on the contrary, he will take the initiative to publicize the merits of these people and let their reputation spread throughout Chang'an.

The selfish nature of Cui's lackeys made them only regard those neighbors and people as cattle and horses, and they also tried their best to buy the only Yongye land that the poor people could trade, and then regarded these people who did not have Yongye Tian as their own tenants, and finally became their own slaves.

Yun Chu admitted that some of the people under his rule were stupid, some were unlucky, and even some were second-rate at all.

Even so, this is not the reason why these five people can take advantage of their weaknesses to make a fortune.

Yun Chu is a herdsman official in Wannian County, Yun Chu has let the sheep, his purpose is to let every sheep eat enough to go home, not to let some of the sheep eat the ditch full of trenches, and the other part of the sheep are skinny and hungry and bleating.

These people were very secretive when they did things, and after collecting the land of the unlucky people in Wannian County, they did not transfer the land, but privately drew up a contract to prove that the land belonged to the five of them.

This gave Yun Chu a loophole that he could exploit, and the master book of Wan Zhu made a notice to tell everyone in Wannian County that Wannian County was ready to confirm the property rights of Yongye Tian again.

If you don't come to the county government within three days to sort out your property rights in Yongyetian, and the property rights are out of the pool in the future, the government will not recognize them, and they will no longer recognize the property rights transfer contracts signed privately by the people.

As soon as this notice was revealed, the people of Wannian County immediately went crazy, and the people who sold their land to the five families immediately turned their faces with the support of the head of the house and no longer recognized the contract signed before.

The nature of the people in Guanzhong is to be simple and tricky, and when there is no way, they are naturally naïve, as long as there is a trace of a way to get back Yongye Tian, which is more important than their lives, they can come up with 10,000 ways to play tricks overnight.

There are even some smart people who take their own land deeds and find some stupid rich people to sell land privately.

"The consequence of your doing this is to fix the transaction of Yongye Tian in Wannian County, that is to say, from now on, there will be no more transactions in Yongye Tian in Wannian County, and in order to teach a few reptiles, you have ruined the credibility of Wannian County."

Di Renjie, who was born in law, still recognized the contract very much, and he felt that Yun Chu's approach was very inferior, and there was no spirit of law.

"The spirit of Datang's establishment of Yongye Tian is to let the cultivators have their land, and let the people keep the last personal property that can survive."

"Judging from the current situation of the people of the Tang Dynasty, Yongye Tian is the last reliance of the people, and there is nothing that cannot be passed, they will definitely not sell Yongye Tian."

"The people who sell Yongye Tian basically belong to the poorest part of the people, and once these people lose their last means of survival, they will be reduced to gangsters and the second generation."

"If there are more second-generation gangsters, it will not be a good thing for Wannian County."

"Since the trade of Yongye Tian cannot be locked by law, it can only be locked by government means, so that this kind of trade has no market completely."

Di Renjie said again, "I have checked these people, although these people are greedy, there is nothing illegal about them, you put Du Chongming in prison, this is not what a wise county order should do."

Yun Chu looked through the file, found a document, handed it to Di Renjie, and said, "He did commit a crime."

Di Renjie hurriedly glanced at the paperwork, frowned, and said, "Encroached on the public land of the six points of land?"

"I remember that since you were the county lieutenant of Wannian County, you encouraged the people to cultivate barren fields, even if it was a royal field, you took the people to occupy a lot, at this time, you used the mistake of others to cultivate barren public land, and took people to prison, don't you worry about the snow in June in Wannian County?"

Yun Chu showed a standard bureaucratic smile, and also showed eight snow-white teeth, and said calmly, "The law is the minimum requirement for a person's behavior, and my Wannian County has relatively high requirements for moral character."

"Since these people regard the minimum requirements of the law as the highest standard of conduct, then do not complain that I require them with the strictest laws."

"And my Tang Dynasty government never goes to the countryside, and the people in the countryside are self-governing according to the "Township Rules and People's Covenant", so the reason why Du Chongming is in prison now is also the unanimous request of the local squires and people."

Di Renjie looked at Yun Chu in surprise and said, "This will form a bad trend of eating big households."

The smile on Yun Chu's face that belonged to the bureaucracy remained unchanged, and he looked at Di Renjie and said, "It's okay, just punish those people who like to eat big households", "They can be stupid, they can be stupid, but they can't be bad."

"Are the people really innocent in this turmoil? Don't they need to be taught?" "I'll wait for them to show their bad side, and then use thunder to punish those bad people, and give Du Chongming an explanation to them."

Di Renjie gasped and said, "After that, Du Chongming, what else do they have left?"

Yun Chu laughed and said, "They are rich because of Wannian County, and then they have nothing because of Wannian County, and when it snows heavily, Du Chongming can stand in the white snow and sigh - the white land is so clean!"
