It's the end of April.

During this period, Li Shimin finally decided to issue a customs clearance document for Xuanzang and agreed to his westward journey to seek the law.

Xuanzang was actively preparing.

Although he has not yet adapted to the height that Luo Taisui has set for him, it is a long road, and there is enough time for him to think about it.

In terms of the condition of Empress Changsun, Zhen Quan and Zhen Liyan brothers already have a preliminary treatment plan.

However, because the eldest grandson queen is still pregnant, it is inconvenient to administer needles and drugs for the time being.

Fortunately, the qi disease is in conditioning, and there is no need to rush for a while.

The Zhen brothers took this opportunity to study the other contents of "Bian Que's Heart Book" more deeply.

At the end of this month, the most eye-catching thing is the war without gunpowder on the red list.

Since the Taiyuan Wang family broke the tacit understanding between the five surnames and seven sects and donated 200,000 stone of grain, they have donated in various forms many times in a row.

There is a sense that he will not give up if he does not squeeze the top of the list.

At this time, the imperial court clearly revised the ranking rules of the family directory and the hundred family names, which was to use "charity" as the main measurement criterion.

This hypocritical and resilient phrase has once again come into the spotlight and has aroused widespread discussion.

The heat is unparalleled for a while.

Many grain merchants who were bewitched by others and tried to wrestle with the imperial court, faced with the declining price of grain, finally thought of exchanging economic losses for preferential policy treatment.

How does it work?

Naturally, part of the food is donated in exchange for "charity" value.

In order to reduce taxes and obtain various benefits such as exemption from the preliminary examination of the imperial examination.

The boat is small and good to turn around.

These small businesses turn around very quickly against the wind.

On the contrary, the reaction of the five surnames and seven sects other than the Taiyuan Wang family was much slower.

However, in the end, the foundation is still there.

Although they made a late move, as soon as they made a move, other landlords and gentry were beyond their reach.

First of all, it was the one million stone grain of the Boling Cui clan that appeared at the top of the red list.

The Mansion of the Kingdom of Yan was squeezed down and temporarily ranked second.

But only for a day.

The other five families followed up one after another, and the top position was frequently replaced.

1,100,000 stone ......

1,200,000 stone ......

1,500,000 stone ......

1,800,000 stone ......

1,900,000 stone ......

When the price of grain is low to a certain extent, it is no longer meaningful for a family like the five surnames and seven sects.

More importantly, after the failure of the attempt to choke the lifeblood of the imperial court with food in this natural disaster, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, which means that their restraining force on the imperial court has continued to weaken.

And the imperial court has begun to weaken their influence.

Although the effect is not noticeable for the time being.

But blunt knives kill people, and they are even more cruel.

If these traditional families are not changed, the decline is inevitable.

And you can only watch, there is nothing you can do.

Therefore, "charity" has become their only lifeline.

Even if it was a bait thrown by the imperial court, they had to open their mouths and swallow it.

Doing so not only saved the reputation lost among the people, but also slowed down the actions of the imperial court and bought valuable time for himself.

As for what to do in the future, we can only figure it out slowly.

"Fan Yang Lu's family, donate two million stones of grain!"

With a singing, the top list was refreshed again, and Fan Yang Lu reached the top.

The name of the following changed spontaneously.

"Look! I once said that this list will become a battlefield for the family to compete, how about it? ”

"You kid said it!"

"Haha, that's wonderful!"

"These families, who were unwilling to sell their grain before, are now rushing to donate it to the imperial court, and the imperial court will use it for disaster relief...... It's really a fart to take off your pants and fart, it's too much! ”

"Isn't this the court's way of dealing with it?"

"When the imperial court raised the price of grain before, we all blamed Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is doing this to let these big families who don't care about the lives of the people fall into the trap, and then ruthlessly let their blood go!"

"Your Majesty is really wise and benevolent!"

"Your Majesty is certainly wise, but I still feel unhappy to see these families showing off their power on this red list."

"yes, but what can we do? The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the family is a family after all! ”

"If only someone could overturn these black-hearted families!"

"Uh...... It seems that the list is going to change again. ”

"Well, this guard is familiar to me, and it is easy to climb high and low."

"I don't know who it is this time."

"Who and what do you say? Isn't it one of the five surnames and seven sects? ”

"Other families are always lacking in heritage."

"Alas...... Speechless. ”

"Huh?"

"How?"

"That doesn't seem right."

At this point, a brand new list was posted to the top of the red list.

Someone at the bottom sang: "The Mansion of the Kingdom of Yanguo, donate 2.56 million stone of grain!" ”

Airplanes......

The audience blew up.
