Chang'an City.

Early in the morning, spies from the East Factory were wandering around.

Their task today was to observe the views of the people in the city on the new policy, and to report it to Wei Zhongxian, the factory official.

The people didn't know the prestige of Dongchang yet, and they got together to talk about the new deal.

"Official reform? Wouldn't there be no prime minister after that, only cabinet ministers? ”

"What do you care about this? Is there any change in the upper echelons that can affect you? ”

"Yes, the most important thing now is the reform of the imperial examination system, according to the new policy, as long as the family has three generations of ancestors, as long as they do not break the law, they can participate in the imperial examination!"

"Really? According to the original system, I was a businessman, and my son could not register for the imperial examination. But according to the new system, wouldn't my son have a chance to become an official in the future? ”

"Cut, at your son's level, he can't even write one, two, three, four, and still expect to be an official in the imperial examination?"

"Humph! Don't underestimate people, my son is only 12 years old, I used to find him a teacher because I thought it was useless to study, but as long as I found a famous teacher, my son will definitely be able to enter high school. ”

As soon as the people with the ability to act heard the importance of the teacher, they immediately went home.

After a month or two, there was no shortage of work for the students in Chang'an City.

I'm afraid that when Bai Juyi comes to Chang'an, he will no longer sigh "Chang'an is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place".

Those who stayed continued to look behind the imperial list.

"What? The emperor wants to reform the field administration? Want to make a big splash in Guanzhong? ”

", aren't the fields all in the hands of the official? Where did the emperor have the land to carry out the tuntian? ”

"Don't worry, look at the back, Your Majesty has already said that the officials, clans, and relatives of the emperor in Guanzhong will withdraw the illegally occupied land."

"Impossible! How could the heaven and earth that those people ate in their mouths withdraw? ”

"That's right, those people must have done a good job of keeping their accounts watertight, even Xiao Cifu, who is in charge of this policy, can't find out!"

"The iron pillar of our village sold the family heirloom property by himself, and the Hu family spent a lot of real money. But I know the inside story, Tie Zhu was deliberately brought into the casino by the head of the Hu family, and he became addicted to gambling, so he lost all his family property. ”

"Haha, the stunned people in our village are even more miserable, it was the local wealthy Wang family who directly framed him, saying that he insulted the maid of the Wang family, and reported it directly to the official, and then he was arrested and put in prison. Under the flickering of the Wang family, he could only sell his land for money and bribe the county commander to save his life. ”

While these people were talking wantonly, they didn't notice that there was a very inconspicuous person in the corner, who was writing quickly in a small notebook with a pen.

In the evening, the Hall of Eternal Life.

Li Mao was lying on the dragon chair, looking exhausted.

Government affairs grind people, no wonder many emperors want to be faint monarchs and ignore government affairs.

As the emperor, every decision he makes will affect tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, so every book will be approved after careful consideration.

"Alas!"

Li Mao looked at the table that took a day to empty, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "I really admire Zhu Yuanzhang who has been the same for decades now!" ”

Zhang Youfu saw that the emperor had finished handling government affairs, and immediately waved his hand to signal the palace maid next to him to come forward and massage.

"Cool!"

Li Mao felt the softness coming from her hands, and couldn't help but exclaim.

At this time, the little eunuch in charge of the report ran in with small steps.

"Your Majesty, the celebrant and the eunuch, and Wei Zhongxian, the prince of the East Detective Factory, ask to see you!"

Li Mao waved away the seven or eight palace maids around him, and said loudly: "Hurry up!" ”

A moment later, Wei Zhongxian strode into the hall.

"Slave knock to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Flat!"

"Your Majesty, the people in Chang'an City are all cheering for the new policy!" Wei Zhongxian took two steps forward and took out a copy of the fold from his sleeve.

Li Mao took it and flipped it over.

It's full of praise, and you can't find anyone who disagrees.

"Hehe, no one scolded me?"

Li Mao sneered and threw the fold back.

Any policy is bound to harm vested interests.

It is impossible for these people not to jump out against it, and it is clear that their words of opposition have been deleted.

Wei Zhongxian took the fold steadily, and unhurriedly took out two more copies from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, the first list is a list of the number of acres found by the minions in the past two days that do not match the data of the founding period. The second is a list of people who have been in contact with Luoyang during this time. ”

Li Mao took it and took a look.

Good guys, both copies are densely packed with names.

"How many are there?" Li Mao didn't bother to take a closer look, so he closed the fold and asked.

Wei Zhongxian replied loudly: "All the families in Chang'an City have illegally occupied the land, and eighty percent of them are in contact with Luoyang, and the servants have calculated that there are a total of three thousand four hundred and fifty-eight people. ”

There are less than a thousand officials in the DPRK and China.

There were more than 3,400 people in contact with Luoyang.

This shows that anyone in Chang'an City who has a little property is half-hearted.

Now.

Li Mao thought of the eve of the Battle of Guandu, and Cao Mengde's situation should be like this.

The family has always liked to make two-headed betting transactions.

"Forget it, when the court meeting comes, I will burn this performance in front of the ministers."

"The time has not yet come, and those families who illegally occupy land will not be disposed of for the time being."

"If they don't take the initiative to withdraw the land when the time comes, then you can arrest people."

After Li Mao finished speaking, he casually threw the fold on the table.

Wei Zhongxian immediately bowed down and received the order, "The slave obeys the order, and when the time comes, the case will definitely be handled as an iron case, so that no one in the world can find a flaw." ”

"Okay! You'll see what you'll do then! Li Mao nodded, as an emperor, he only needed to wait for the result, and as for what means Wei Zhongxian used, he didn't bother to care.

"Slaves obey!" Wei Zhongxian bowed and stepped back.

Zhao Gao immediately motioned to the palace maid to continue to massage.

"That's right! Who is the biggest landlord around Chang'an City? Li Mao suddenly spoke after waving off the palace maid.

Wei Zhongxian's figure suddenly froze, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately replied, "It's the Temple of Mercy and Grace!" ”

"What?"

The result was completely unexpected, and Li Mao exclaimed in surprise when he heard this.

He originally thought that the landlords around Chang'an City must be some royal clansman, but he didn't expect that it was actually a group of bald donkeys.

"Aren't all monks monks? Aren't they all about the six purity? How could he be the biggest landlord around Chang'an City? ”

Wei Zhongxian immediately explained: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, monks also need food, so they naturally need land to feed. ”

"After checking the information, the servants found that during the Zhenguan period, when Emperor Gaozong expanded the Ci'en Temple, he allocated hundreds of acres of land for them to cultivate."
