Chapter 52: Your Majesty, You're Crazy

"Cash-for-Work"

After the surname Yang Yushi was imprisoned, Li Shimin immediately asked Fang Xuanling to issue this decree.

However, it was issued in the official newspaper of the imperial court, and the newspaper only mentioned it.

Even the details of cash-for-work are not described.

"Your Majesty, is this showing weakness to the enemy?"

This decree is very inconspicuous in the hustle and bustle of the court today, and almost no one is even talking about it.

Under the anger of the masses, everyone's spearhead was aimed at Li Shimin personally.

"It is worthy of being an emperor who can discuss the art of war with Li Jing, and this trick is really used to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang."

Zhang Zheng muttered to himself.

Now he is almost 100% sure that the imperial history surnamed Yang is definitely Li Shimin's person.

Li Shimin and him directed and acted in a bitter drama of forcing the king to issue an edict.

Even Wei Zheng may be part of Li Shimin's plan.

But others, how many people with ulterior motives are there. I'm afraid even Li Shimin doesn't know.

That's why everyone will be brought into Dali Temple today.

Thinking of Cheng Yanjin, Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin and others whose whereabouts are now unknown, Zhang Zheng can be sure that this is Li Shimin's conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zheng was shocked.

These people didn't go out alone.

Rather, everyone has at least thousands to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in their hands.

Combined with the official warehouse outside the city that is full of grain.

Could it be that Li Shimin's so-called uprooting is not a joke?

Zhang Zheng didn't dare to think about it.

Fortunately, he is really sick in bed now, and Zhang Zheng inexplicably began to be grateful to the archer who shot his arrow.

……

The news of the imprisonment of the Qingliu Yushi finally broke out.

Under the impetus of well-intentioned people, it quickly caused an uproar in Chang'an.

It is even spreading rapidly to the periphery of Chang'an.

Chang'an City unconsciously spread some details of the Xuanwu Gate change.

The remarks that the king's immorality made the heavens angry also quietly arose among the people of Chang'an.

Finally, on the third day of the imprisonment of the imperial historians.

Some people in Chang'an City who didn't know the truth, under the leadership of some elders, gathered outside the imperial city of Chengtian.

This frightened Chang'an, the county order of the two counties of Wannian.

Hurriedly brought the officials to the scene to maintain order.

They were all unarmed people, and they didn't do anything rebellious like attacking the imperial city, so they quietly gathered in front of Chengtianmen.

In Chang'an, the officials of the two counties of Wannian also made difficulties in the face of this group of people who could not be persuaded to go back, and who could not be beaten.

And the county orders of the two counties, as if they had been discussed, came to Menxia Province together, intending to ask to see Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the empire.

Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling avoided it, but sent someone to politely invite them out of the province, telling them that this matter was not under the control of the province.

The county orders of the two counties, no matter how small the official is, it is also the chief official of the county, how can he stand this anger.

So he came to the front of the palace and prepared to knock on the façade of the palace.

Before he could get close to the palace wall, he was thrown out by the flying cavalry soldiers who were forbidden by the palace.

This can make the county commanders of the two counties angry, pointing to the palace gate and scolding Li Shimin for fainting.

Then he turned around and came to the people gathered outside the Chengtian Gate, and became one of the leaders who led the people to protest.

That's right, the officials of Datang are so rigid.

Even if the emperor makes himself unhappy, he will scold if he wants to.

Hang up the seal and go, if it doesn't exist, either you kill me, or you solve my problem.

The officialdom during the Zhenguan period can be seen.

Zhang Zheng, who learned the news, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the two county orders.

"Thanks to the emperor at this time, Li Shimin, if there is a certain pigtail dynasty, the ashes of the nine clans of the two county orders will be raised at this time."

As officials of the Tang Dynasty, these two county orders were undoubtedly lucky.

On the third day, the entire Gyeonggi Province and even Kannai Province learned of Lee Semin's stupid decision.

Tongzhou, Qizhou, Longzhou, Xiazhou, Yinzhou...... More than ten states, including Yongzhou, where Gyeonggi is located, have all been put on the show.

There are people who ask His Majesty to release people, and threaten Li Shimin that if he doesn't release people again, I will wipe my neck, and ask if you are afraid of Yunyun.

There are those who ask Li Shimin to issue an edict for his own crimes.

It was folded into the hands of Fang Xuanling, who was under the door, and Fang Xuanling flipped it over casually. All of them were thrown on Li Shimin's desk.

And Li Shimin did not leave any of these twists and turns.

In addition, in Guanzhong and Hebei, locust plagues have gradually broken out in some places.

For a time, the entire Datang officialdom was panicked, and rumors spread.

What's more, Li Shimin was compared to Yang Guang's second.

But all this seems to have nothing to do with the peasant households.

Because at the first moment of the locust plague, the people were conscripted by the local government and began to work.

Build dams, build roads, reclaim panic, repair cities, and so on.

Not only can you take care of the rice, but you can also get a pound of rice or a pound of wheat a day, or you can choose two pounds of millet as a reward.

And the Tang Imperial Academy, which Zhang Zheng had planned for two months, also started construction at this time.

In the north of Weinan County, near the edge of the Wei River, there are nearly 20,000 acres of wasteland, and Li Shimin chose the site of the Tang Royal Academy here.

Led by the Ministry of Industry, according to the drawings presented by Zhang Zheng, more than 20,000 people were gathered, and the house was built in full swing.

The remuneration is the same as in other places, in addition to taking care of rice, you can get one pound of rice or wheat every day, or two pounds of millet every day.

At the same time, there is also the cash of the three eldest sons. Settlement on the same day.

Therefore, at this time, there were many disasters and famines in Datang, but it was rare that there were no displaced people.

At this moment, Li Shimin made a blockbuster decision in the face of the world.

The slave trade among the people was restricted, and peasant households were forbidden to be reduced to slavery.

In addition, an edict was issued to encourage the fugitive households to come to the government to register their household registration, and the government was not to blame for the past, and it could also divide the fields and houses for the newly registered people, and also provide seeds and agricultural tools.

The most important thing is that the first three years are exempt from taxes, and the normal tax payment amount is used in the third year.

And it was published in the newspaper, which took nearly a quarter of the length of a newspaper.

This can be regarded as a hornet's nest.

is not only the local family, but also many powerful families who stood on the same front as Li Shimin in the past.

also faintly distanced himself from Li Shimin.

Demanding that Li Shimin stop his chaotic life, and issue an edict to God to ask for sin, he flew from all over the Tang Dynasty to the center of Gyeonggi like snowflakes.

All gathered in the hands of Xuanling, the provincial house under the door.

At this time, even Fang Xuanling couldn't sit still, and vaguely reminded Li Shimin that it was almost time to take it away.

Otherwise, the past of the smoke and dust of the Chinese New Year's Eve six roads against the king and the seventy-two roads at the end of the former Sui Dynasty may be repeated.

Li Shimin pretended not to understand, but reprimanded Fang Xuanling, bluntly saying that Fang Xuanling was as timid as a mouse.

Fang Xuanling was also angry, there was no way to use Li Shimin for his own use, could he not do anything about these tricks that made him trained?

If an honest person is angry, it is really a matter of heaven.

Fang Xuanling returned to Menxia Province with a stomach full of anger, put all those folds into the basin, and lit a fire.

"Crazy, Li Er, this is completely crazy."

When Zhang Zheng knew these news, he couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.
