Wang Tao thinks so, in fact, he is right.

It's a big risk to go up against those big families!

At worst, it is difficult to advance in the career, and at worst, it is slandered into the prison.

Wang Tao is a small county order, and he can't be tough with these big families.

But Hu Changan is different.

He's the one who knows where history is going.

In the fall of the Ming Dynasty, at least 50% of the pot should be counted on the heads of these families.

As the saying goes, prevention is better than prevention.

It is now in the early years of Hongwu, and these big families have not had time to become bigger and stronger, and they can still save one or two.

If these families become giants in the later period, even the emperor will not be able to move them easily.

In Wang Tao's view, this is just a dispensable change.

In Hu Changan's view, this is the battle of national fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, it is a must to win!

Thinking of this, Hu Changan hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Tao, and then rode his horse towards Yingtian City.

First of all, of course, start with acquaintances.

......

On this day, a distinguished guest came to the Blue Mansion.

This person's name is Hu Chang'an, the son of former Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, and now he is working as a staff member in the Prince's Mansion, which can be regarded as having a good future.

The most important thing is that this person is good friends with Lan Haitang, the head of the Lan family, and maybe he will become the master of the Guogong Mansion in the near future.

Early in the morning, the servants of the Blue Mansion were busy.

Some sweep the floor, some make tea, so it's not lively.

Finally, under the expectation of everyone, a handsome young man stepped into the door of the Blue Mansion.

The young man was slender, dressed in a dark green brocade robe, his hair was neatly tied, and he was handsome.

This person is Hu Changan.

Hearing the report of the subordinates, Lan Haitang also slowly walked out of the back house.

Today's blue begonias are especially makeup.

Out of an indescribable feeling, Lan Begonia got up early in the morning today and dressed up carefully.

The already superior face is even more eye-catching under careful care.

Even Hu Changan, who was accustomed to seeing beauties in later generations, was flashed by the blue begonia.

Lan Haitang generously invited Hu Changan to sit down, and added a pot of tea to Hu Changan, and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to do in the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know what happened in the past few days?" ”

As the daughter of a dignified prince, Lan Haitang is naturally well-informed.

These days, Hu Changan's actions have been reported to Lan Haitang by the guards one by one.

Lan Haitang naturally knows that Hu Changan is now busy with the reform of the A system in Lishui County.

And the main fields of the Lan family are basically in Lishui County, and after coming and going, Lan Begonia naturally understands Hu Changan's intention to come today.

Hu Changan saw that his purpose was recognized, and he also smiled and arched his hand: "Miss Lan is smart, it seems that she can't hide anything from your eyes!" ”

"Hu is here this time, and he does have something important to discuss."

"This matter is particularly important, and it is even related to the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty in the next hundred years!"

What!

A hundred years of national fortune?

Blue Begonia was shocked.

Lan Haitang did guess that Hu Changan came this time for something important, but she never guessed that Hu Changan's matter was so big.

However, as the daughter of the national prince, Lan Begonia will naturally not be suppressed by this little thing.

After being stunned for a moment, Lan Haitang also settled down, and said with a smile: "Then I don't know Master Hu, what is this matter?" ”

Hu Changan smiled and cut straight to the point: "Does Miss Lan know that your Lan family is in Lishui County, and there is a matter of occupying the land of the good people?" ”

"What? Naturally, there is none. Lan Haitang smiled generously.

She thought it was something, but it turned out to be this.

The Lan family has always been extremely strict, and Lan Haitang believes that the people in the Lan Mansion should not have the courage to do this kind of death-seeking behavior.

After all, it is now the Hongwu period, and the old man Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very strict with the Xungui family.

If Zhu Yuanzhang finds out that the family has privately seized the land of the people, then those families will shed their skin if they don't die.

Therefore, the blue begonia is also a reminder to the stewards of the grange, don't make such short-sighted behavior.

Hu Changan saw Lan Haitang's relaxed look, and his expression became serious.

It seems that Lan Haitang should not know about this matter.

Then there should be someone else behind the scenes!

Hu Changan took out a roll of the hundred names from his sleeve, and said to Lan Haitang seriously: "Miss Lan, don't believe it, your family does have the situation of seizing people's land. ”

"I just went to Zhangjia Village yesterday to visit the village, and although these villagers are registered in the official register, when I asked them, they said that they paid taxes to the Blue House, not to the government."

"This is clearly someone in the Lan family, who is privately embezzling the land that originally belonged to the government!"

"Miss Lan, all of this is what I, Hu Someone, have seen with my own eyes, and I can't fake it."

Lan Haitang looked at the roster handed over by Hu Changan, and his expression became serious.

If it is really as Hu Changan said, then their Lan family has committed a big crime!

Lan Haitang hurriedly ordered his subordinates to call the steward of the grange.

A short time later, a short, stocky middle-aged man came to the front hall.

This person has white and round cheeks, and he looks quite happy, and he is the chief steward of the Grange in Lanfu, and the steward of Liu.

As soon as Steward Liu entered the door, his eyes rolled and he knelt down and howled: "Miss Lan, the villain is wronged!" How can I do such a thing of selling for glory! ”

Lan Haitang looked at this Liu Steward, and he was also quite unbearable.

This Steward Liu is even older than her in the mansion.

Since the Blue Begonia can remember, Steward Liu has been conscientiously managing the Grange.

When Lan Haitang was just in charge, Steward Liu also supported Lan Haitang's waist several times.

If it weren't for the support of Steward Liu, Lan Haitang's current position as the principal would not even be stable!

Looking at the howling Steward Liu, Lan Haitang also couldn't bear it, and said to Hu Changan and Xi Ni: "Master Hu, maybe there is a secret here?" ”

"I think Steward Liu is also a reliable person, and he shouldn't make such a big mistake."

After hearing this, Hu Changan couldn't help but snort coldly: "Miss Lan, don't be soft-hearted." ”

"I asked at the time, and the villagers said that every time he came to collect taxes, he was a short and fat middle-aged man, and he should be right."

When Steward Liu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

What!

This Young Master Hu actually went to the village to ask in person?

It seems that I want to hide now, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!

And Lan Haitang saw Steward Liu's abruptly changing expression, and his heart sank.

What a smart person she is, it is naturally not difficult to see the emptiness that flashed on Steward Liu's face.

It seems that what Hu Changan said is true.

And this matter is largely related to Steward Liu!

Looking at Steward Liu, Lan Haitang couldn't help but sigh heavily.

After so many years of friendship between master and servant, it was a mistake after all.
