Chapter Ninety-Eight: Joy and Talent!

At the same time the next day, Yuwen Shihong didn't waste any more time sad and sad, and after finishing a busy day, he called Wei Zhong to bring pastries and melons and fruits, and went to Wenxi's house opposite.

This time, the two knocked on the door, and it was Liang Dong who came unexpectedly.

Liang Dong seemed to have a hint of surprise in his expression after seeing Yuwen Shihong and Wei Zhong.

"It's the emperor, why are you here again? What's the matter? ”

His contemptuous attitude made Wei Zhong's eyes contain anger again, but he still barely managed to endure under Yuwen Shihong's suppression.

Yuwen Shihong smiled and walked straight in.

"I'm still thinking about the topic I didn't finish talking about with you yesterday, and I can't sleep after this busy day, so I'll take a look again!"

Saying that, Yuwen Shihong walked past Liang Dong and walked into the house, and sure enough, he saw Wen Xi, who was sitting on a futon studying the chess game.

Wei Zhong followed and walked in, and began to arrange the fruit pastries.

Smelling that Xiben was sitting cross-legged on the futon, and when he saw Yuwen Shihong coming in, a touch of imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes.

But he didn't show it, but only gave it lightly.

"Your Majesty."

"The old gentleman is very polite."

Yuwen Shihong laughed and motioned for Wei Zhong to take the dim sum and put it aside to set it up.

"These melon and fruit pastries are the specialty of the imperial dining room, and they are specially brought to the two old gentlemen to taste how it tastes!"

Smelling this, Xi Ye did not refuse, but calmly took a piece of delicate square cake and put it in his mouth, and exclaimed.

"Good craftsmanship!"

Liang Dong walked in with a smile, and after catching a glimpse of the pastries and fruits, his eyes lit up, and he walked over and ate them one by one unceremoniously.

Yuwen Shihong said with a smile.

"Mr. Wen has not finished talking to me yesterday about land reform, and today I have discussed with the ministers in the morning, and no one has come up with a way to satisfy me, I wonder if I can listen to Mr. Wen's high opinion?"

Yuwen Shihong's shelf is very low, and he will smell the high praise of the West between his words, the purpose is to show his thirst and sincerity!

Even if he smells that Xi doesn't have that intention in his heart, he will naturally say a few more words.

Originally, in Yuwen Shihong's imagination, land reform should have been easy to implement, after all, he was in charge here, and there was a large army to suppress the realm!

Moreover, the demands he put forward were not completely repossessed of the land, but he did not realize that it was still difficult to implement, and many of the big landlord class were stubbornly biting and refusing to let go.

And not long after this system was implemented, there were countless opposing voices from below, and countless nobles and wealthy families continued to start causing trouble, in order to express their dissatisfaction, hoping that the emperor would withdraw his opinion!

The threads of these wealthy families are intricately intertwined, and they are very tenacious, and they can almost have a little relationship with the government!

In this way, the land reform system has encountered problems and is difficult to implement!

It's just that those wealthy families seem to know Yuwen Shihong's bottom line, and they have been frantically testing on the edge, but they have never stepped out of that line, so that Yuwen Shihong has never been up or down, and he is extremely angry in his heart!

In this case, he can't use the army to directly press over, because it's too early!

Yuwen Shihong came this time, not just to test the smell of Xi'e, but from the bottom of his heart to know a suitable solution!

Smelling Xi Han smiled.

"Does the emperor really want to listen to the nonsense of an old man like me?"

Yuwen Shihong said.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that old man, I came to ask you sincerely, and naturally I didn't mean to be joking!"

Smelled West said.

"Your Majesty, the old man asks you a question! Do you know, why have those wealthy families in Yangzhou City refused to let go? ”

Yuwen Shihong frowned and said.

"Because I want to take out a part of the profits from their hands and distribute the land that belongs to them to the people to cultivate, they will naturally not let go easily."

"In my opinion, old man, it's not just because of that."

Smelling this, Xi first nodded, then shook his head.

"Oh?"

"In fact, these noble and wealthy families have a lot of land under their hands, and the loss of such a part is just a pain for them, but they don't run the risk of being bulldozed by the army."

Yuwen Shihong couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and his expression was a little anxious.

If that's not the reason, then why are they still reluctant to let go? Besides, it's not like I don't give me a little compensation, so it stands to reason that they wouldn't do such a thing. ”

As he spoke, Yuwen Shihong emphasized again.

"I have implemented this policy in consideration of the current situation and have given a most suitable policy for everyone to accept."

Subsequently, Yuwen Shihong talked about some of the policy changes he made in it.

After hearing this, he was also full of admiration, and then said.

"Your Majesty, you are really talented at such a young age, considering so many things! At the same time, being able to be so sympathetic to the people's livelihood is tantamount to the people! ”

Yuwen Shihong was also praised a little embarrassed, and then said.

"I'm just a rough opinion, and in fact the system is not working very well."

When he heard this, his heart came.

He also pretended not to know, but continued.

"Your Majesty, in fact, according to my opinion, Your Majesty, you only consider the level of interests, but you do not consider another thing that is most important to the wealthy families!"

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

Smelling the West smiled, he said.

"That's the figure and face that the wealthy people have been unable to let go of for hundreds of years!"

Wen Xi heard some of Yuwen Shihong's previous strategies for land reform, and knew that Yuwen Shihong was sincerely thinking about the people, so he no longer hid it and said his thoughts directly!

"Stature and face?!"

Yuwen Shihong was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes were full of surprise!

Smelled West said.

"That's right, it's the figure and face of the aristocratic and wealthy families! They have always had a high status among the people, and they are also highly respected in ordinary times, if this land reform system continues, and the people know that the land has been taken from their hands, what face will they have? ”

"In this way, in order to maintain their high position in the hearts of the people, of course, they are not willing to let go easily."

When Yuwen Shihong heard such an analysis from the west, he suddenly felt that his mind was clear, and he had a feeling that it was the same.

Previously, he had been thinking about the issue of interests, but he went to the dark and did not jump out of the frame to see the problem, which blocked the dead end.

Now think about it, how did the status of those wealthy nobles in ancient times show in the hearts of the people?
