Chapter 20: Genius of Heaven

After Liu Ji finished speaking loudly, Zhang Shoulin immediately shouted: "Liu Ji, you are bold, you dare to participate in the prince!" ”

Although the guards on the side were frightened, they admired Liu Ji very much in their hearts, and they were worried that Li Feng would behead him in anger.

Liu Ji fell to his knees, abandoning life and death in his heart, he remembered his ideal when he was studying hard in the cold window, to be a good official with political innocence.

But after entering the officialdom, Liu Ji found that a good official could not survive in the officialdom at all, so he also became a corrupt official, but after seeing the tragic situation in Xicheng, he decided to tell Li Feng the truth even if he threw away his life.

The street was extremely quiet, no one dared to speak, and they all looked at Li Feng timidly, who was expressionless, for fear that he would say a killing word in his mouth.

After a while, Li Feng smiled, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean by participating in this king?"

Liu Ji saw that Li Feng was not angry, and his heart was very happy, after the observation of the past few days, he knew that Li Feng really wanted to do things for the people, so he dared to take the risk of killing his head to participate in Li Feng.

"Back to the prince, the biggest gentry and the biggest landlord in Youzhou are you."

Li Feng suddenly realized, no wonder Liu Ji didn't dare to say, Zhang Shoulin and they stopped him, it turned out that the biggest bastard in Youzhou was him.

After all, it hasn't been a long time since he crossed over, and Li Feng still looks at the things of this world more as a bystander, but often ignores that he is the top existence in this world.

"Go home."

Liu Ji didn't wait for Li Feng's statement, and was quite apprehensive in his heart.

Zhang Shoulin walked behind him and scolded in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Do you dare to say this kind of thing? ”

Liu Ji wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Emotionally, it is difficult to control yourself for a while. But the prince didn't get angry, my little life was saved. ”

The group returned to the palace, and Li Feng ordered an inventory of the total number of fields in Youzhou, as well as the fields under his name, as well as the fields under the gentry and wealthy families.

It wasn't until the evening that the total number of Youzhou fields was counted.

It is pitiful to say that although the secluded land is extensive, the land is barren, and there are not many fields that can be cultivated, and the small amount of water land is occupied by the gentry.

The more abundant dry land was also occupied by the gentry.

Seventy percent of the fields in Youzhou were in the hands of the gentry and wealthy families, and the remaining thirty percent of the dry land was in the hands of some peasants.

But with the disaster, the land-owning farmers had no harvest and had to sell their land to make ends meet.

The ratio of seven to three continues to decline.

Looking at these figures, Li Feng was heartbroken, but he was also helpless, because this is something that every feudal dynasty will experience.

"How much of this king occupies the seventy percent of the land?"

Liu Ji handed over the statistical results, Li Feng was stunned, the real estate under his name alone actually accounted for as much as 10% of the entire Youzhou land, and it was not wrong to say that he was the biggest bastard in Youzhou.

"Liu Ji, what can you do to deal with this situation?"

Liu Ji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly knelt down: "Weichen kneels down to thank the prince for the people of Youzhou." Youzhou has you, it is a blessing for all the people. ”

"Stop being a sycophant, hurry up and talk about how to deal with it."

"Back to the prince, land and taxes have always been brothers, if you want to reform the land, you must reform the tax system, but this move will inevitably affect the court."

These literati just like to chirp crookedly, Li Feng is very impatient: "When the sky falls, I am on top, if the emperor is dissatisfied, the board will hit my ass first, you just have to say." ”

Liu Ji solemnly kowtowed to Li Feng three times: "In the past, taxes were mainly based on the number of people, and the people were commonly known as poll tax. However, the income of people in different occupations and different situations is different, and the tax is collected without discrimination, and the tax cannot be collected by the rich, but it increases the burden on the poor. ”

"The way to get off the government is to abolish the poll tax."

Li Feng nodded: "It's a good way to change the tax to the amount of land you own." ”

Liu Ji was shocked, this is a reform method that he came up with after being an official for more than ten years, reading countless materials, and visiting a large number of places, but because it touched the interests of the gentry, it has been buried in his heart.

Unexpectedly, after being in the deep palace for a long time, King Youyou would also come up with this method, which really shocked Liu Ji.

"The prince is really a genius."

Liu Ji's words to praise Li Feng before were sycophants, and this sentence was a heartfelt thought.

But Liu Ji didn't know that Li Feng was even more shocked than him, in his world, the reform of spreading the land into acres was the method that was finally summed up after many policies.

Liu Ji actually came up with it alone? If you want to say genius, it's still his genius.

"You draw up a detailed charter, complete it as soon as possible, and I will issue it."

Liu Ji was overjoyed and kowtowed again: "The lower official kneels for Youzhou's 150,000 hundred to thank the prince for his kindness." ”

Li Feng waved his hand to let Liu Ji go down, and then sighed in his heart, what is there to be thankful for?

The calamity of the people was caused by these people.

After a while, Zhang Shoulin came over: "Lord Wang, the banquet has been prepared, He Jinse and others have come." ”

"Wait for someone? I only invited He Jinse, who else is there? ”

"Lord Zhao Kang, and several other adults."

"Zhao Kang is here too?"

Li Feng thought for a moment and shouted: "Drive out all the idle people, don't disturb Yaxing who I drink with the beauty." ”

Zhang Shoulin went out as he said, and after a while, Li Feng heard the dissatisfied voices of Zhao Kang and others.

Li Feng shouted: "It's still so reasonable to eat and drink, Zhang Shoulin, give me ten boards each." ”

Zhao Kang was shocked: "Lord Wang, what mistake did I make when I came to discuss the matter of food?" ”

Li Feng walked out from behind and looked at Zhao Kang and the others coldly: "Come uninvited, disturb my drinking Yaxing, this is your fault." ”

Zhao Kang was furious, this tyrannical Yong King even dared to beat him.

"Zhang Shoulin, what are you waiting for, take people down, you must take off your pants and beat."

"King You, I want to play Your Majesty."

Zhao Kang sneered: "Your Majesty likes calligraphy and painting, and your handwriting should be better." ”

He Jinse, who came out, saw Li Feng so moody, and his heart suddenly panicked.

Zhao Kang and the others were dragged down, and Li Feng turned around and found that He Jinse looked frightened, and he was a little puzzled.

He Jinse didn't come out to plead, it seems that she is not Zhao Kang's person.

He Jinse's position is extremely magical in Li Feng's eyes, she entered the Zhang family at a young age, and became the third largest grain merchant in Youzhou in just one month, which is not only because she is beautiful and capable.

Therefore, Li Feng judged that there must be other people behind He Jinse.

Li Feng's earliest guess was Zhao Kang, and he wanted to test it later, but he didn't expect Zhao Kang to take the initiative to find the door, so he took the initiative to test it, but he didn't expect He Jinse to react at all.

Since it's not Zhao Kang, whose person is she?

Li Feng looked at He Jinse, and a wicked smile appeared, it doesn't matter who she is, she is my person tonight.
