In the study, the candles flickered.

Li Xuan glanced up at Yu Ze, his eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Today's colleagues, there are too many Tubo people. There are too many Tubo people who are dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty and are ready to rebel at all times, which is very unfavorable to our governance colleagues.

Therefore, the ethnic hierarchy of Tubo should still be retained, but it should be changed to Han first, Qiang second, Tuyuhun third, Tubo fourth, and slaves fifth. ”

Slavery, Li Xuan decided to preserve.

Today's colleagues are all grassy, Li Xuan doesn't need to have many real slaves, but he needs to have this knife, which hangs above everyone's heads at all times.

Yu Ze nodded in agreement and did not argue anything.

Nowadays, in the Tang Dynasty, there are not no slaves, but they are all people who have officially signed a slave contract in the government.

Without signing a slave contract, he forced people to be slaves, and according to the Tang law, he committed the crimes of sluggling people and selling people as slaves and maids, and was sentenced to hanging.

Some people are unlucky, take people as slaves, and forget to sign the slave contract for a while, if they are bitten by the slaves, they will immediately have the possibility of being unjustly sentenced.

Prisoners on the battlefield, the wives and daughters of criminal officials, and homeless people without household registration will all become official slaves.

Not to mention, there are many people who can't survive and take the initiative to sell themselves to become slaves of others.

Li Xuan doesn't like slaves, but now in Tongren, this border state, the existence of slaves is still necessary.

Those soldiers who did not deserve to die in the city, and the local Tubo people and Tuyuhun people who opposed the government would all be reduced to slaves.

……

"Uncle Yu, do you remember the Tianyin Sect?" When Li Xuan's voice fell, Yu Ze was slightly surprised, and then nodded and said, "How don't you remember." ”

"Then do you remember how we made the local people draw a line between the Tianyin Sect in the first place?" Li Xuan's voice was very soft.

Yu Ze's brows furrowed suddenly, and then he said, "Can this method also be used on the Tubo people?" ”

You must know that they used the means of blaspheming the Tianyin Divine Maiden to forcibly let those Tianyin believers cut off the connection between them and the Tianyin Sect themselves.

After all, the vast majority of Tianyin Sect followers are just shallow believers, so they can easily cut off contact, but now the Tubo people do not believe in Tianyin Sect.

They either practice Bon or Buddhism.

You can't let them blaspheme the Bon gods and the Buddhist Buddhas.

Li Xuan saw through what Yu Ze was thinking at a glance, he waved his hand and said, "The relationship between the Tianyin Sect and the Tianyin Sect is one of belief and unbelief.

Tibet, an enemy country, was not religious, but a powerful kingdom composed of upper-class nobles, middle-class nobles, and lower-class nobles, commoners, and slaves. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xuan said softly: "Uncle Yu, if in the Tang Dynasty, a good man, kills a person with a seven-rank lord with a knife, what will happen?" ”

"The government will arrest him, then interrogate him for the reason for the killing, and then make a judgment, submit it to the criminal department, and finally let His Majesty personally find out." Yu Ze's face was a little unsightly, he didn't like Li Xuan's example very much.

Li Xuan followed closely and said: "What if it is a bad person, who is coerced, killed, or even Ling Chi, how will the DPRK and China deal with it?" ”

"Sentenced to exile, travel 3,000 miles, set off immediately, and then die halfway through." Yu Ze sighed softly.

If you are a good family, then there is still half a chance to live.

At the very least, it will take at least a few months from the verdict, to the submission to the Criminal Department, and finally by the emperor himself.

If you are lucky, you will have a better chance of surviving if you meet a detective like Di Renjie in Dali Temple.

But if you are a bad person, then even if you should rebel and die, your family will ask the government not to sentence you.

It will even reduce the government by one level and sentence him to exile for 3,000 miles.

In the end, if you can't even walk 300 miles, you will be robbed directly by your family members from passers-by, and then tortured and killed.

Although Datang is prosperous, it is still cruel.

Li Xuan raised his eyes to look at Yu Ze and said softly: "If it is a Tubo inferior person, he was coerced to kill a nobleman......"

"He's going to die a terrible death." Yu Ze sighed lightly, in Datang, only if you have a certain identity, then at least you can get a relatively fair trial.

But in Tibet, it is a great taboo for inferior people to kill superior people.

So no matter what the reason is, as long as the inferior person kills the superior person, then there is only one way out.

After a little hesitation, Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan with some concern and said, "Lord Wang, such an act will inevitably be impeached once it is known to the court. ”

"Therefore, we do not force, voluntary, voluntary hands, to grant land and housing; If he doesn't want to do it, he will be imprisoned, one meal a day, six points full, and half the water, I believe that he will soon take the initiative to make his own choice. Li Xuan's voice turned softer, he had already figured out how to deal with it, it was nothing more than choosing.

"If you don't want to admit that you are the people of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Law will naturally not be suitable for them." Yu Ze thought about it, and still filled the last gap for Li Xuan.

If you are not registered in the Tang Dynasty, you are not a Tang person, and the law is naturally a different set.

Li Xuan smiled, then shook his head and sighed lightly: "The vast majority of herdsmen are just the bottom, and they are just crowded, and if they are hungry for a few meals, write a document that is willing to be loyal to Datang, and hang it above the market, they will naturally tremble and dare not betray Datang easily."

The rest, those who are unwilling to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, are diehards.

These people, let the lower class people stain the blood of the upper class, it is enough for their hearts to collapse; If you don't want to, beheading. ”

Seeing Li Xuan take a step back, Yu Ze arched his hand and said, "The prince is merciful." ”

Li Xuan's expression was solemn, and then he said: "Now there are 30,000 acres of cultivated land in Tongren, but there are only 600 Han households suitable for cultivated land.

Counting, each household has 20 acres of Yongye land, and 30 acres of land is divided, but it can't be divided so completely, we need to leave enough leeway.

All 20 acres of Yongye field per household, 20 acres of mouth divided into fields, so that there are still more than 6,000 acres left, so that there will be people in the future, and 150 households can be divided. ”

"We have to open up." Yu Ze took a light breath and sighed: "My colleagues' cultivated land is not only like this, many of them have been encroached upon by grassland for many years, and now as long as we continue to develop, then there will naturally be more and more cultivated land." ”

"But in moderation." Li Xuan's face brought a hint of seriousness, and said: "Now the other ethnic groups of my colleagues will also be the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they must also ensure that there is enough pasture, and the taxes on cattle and sheep must also be calculated. ”

Yu Ze groaned and said, "Does the prince think that those big families will not let the real homeless people come over?" ”

"As soon as the official document for the people comes out, they will inevitably have to do tricks." Li Xuan sneered, looked in the southeast direction, and said softly: "Those of them, who are born to predate, will pounce directly when they see a little benefit, but they are unwilling to exert their own strength, this kind of practice of using disguised homeless people to come in and easily steal a large amount of land, how can they not do it." ”

"It is not necessarily a disguised homeless person, borrowing a large amount of money in advance, waiting until the homeless person gets the land, and then using an IOU to take away the futile land, which is the most difficult to prevent, and it is difficult to check it." Yu Ze's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

Today's colleagues rely on Yu Ze and He Zhizhang to support them.

The county magistrates, county lieutenants and chief bookkeepers appointed by the imperial court still don't know where they are?

Lack of manpower, how to check.

"First of all, in the name of the Marshal's Mansion, the land of colleagues shall not be bought and sold for ten years, so that those families and fake homeless people will definitely not be able to stay." Li Xuan groaned slightly, and then said: "Every common man who comes to Tongren, when granting land, they are required to sign an oath, and all their debts do not exceed five yuan, but if there is any falsehood, those who deceive officials and private people to obtain property will be allowed to steal, confiscate all property, and be imprisoned for one year." ”

Yu Ze pondered every word Li Xuan, and finally nodded, and said: "This kind of method can not only be used on the soil, but also in many other places, so that it will be much more convenient to govern colleagues." ”

"In spring and summer, cattle and sheep are used for grass, autumn and winter are used for barley and grains, and there is irrigation from the Longwu River, and the people can be self-sufficient in one year, and they can pay taxes to supply the needs of the front line in two years, and they can feed back to the local area in three years, so Uncle Yu can be promoted." Li Xuan couldn't help but smile, the scene of spring flowers was already spreading out in front of his eyes.

……

"Five years." Yu Ze suddenly looked at Li Xuan with some concern, and said in a low voice: "Within five years, can the prince lay a good foundation for his colleagues?" ”

Li Xuan nodded lightly, he is a new state assassin, I am afraid it will be difficult to change places.

The royal family of the Tang Dynasty, some people, as soon as the assassination history is completed, will be transferred to other places immediately; Some people, even if they do four or five assassins somewhere, no one cares, such as Li Yuangui, the king of Huo, who is already the fourth in Dingzhou.

Li Xuan's future history of Xinzhou assassination, if nothing else, should be the same.

But are there really no surprises?

A glimmer of light flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, five years, five years, Li Zhi should still be in power, but after five years, it is difficult to say.

"Also, the Yuan family is here today, so the other families must be sending people soon." Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan worriedly.

Li Xuan waved his hand directly and said: "My colleagues are still on the front line now, outsiders come empty-handed, and they have to be more than ten people at a time, and other business travel is not restricted, but bulk goods are allowed to enter and not leave."

As for the official position, let Ji Zhenxian be responsible for the examination and teaching, and only those who are successful can stay in their colleagues.

In addition, send a message to Lintao, so that the Li family faction has talents and is willing to come to the children of colleagues, and the county middle school position may wish to give more positions. ”

The affairs of the county government, such as the county order and the county lieutenant, need to be assigned by the officials, and the secretaries and secretaries need to be appointed by the state government, but the middle and lower officials of the county can be arranged by the county order.

Although the Li family is a clan, but now, unless they have close ties with the royal family, the descendants of the Li family in the ancestral land of Lintao would rather be raised by the imperial court than give them any position, and the vast majority of people are also willing to be raised by the imperial court like this.

There won't be a lot of people, but they can be used, and the key is to show an example and an attitude to other families.

The most important thing is that once Empress Wu rebels against Tang, these people will immediately be the most loyal people around Li Xuan.

Yu Ze understood that Li Xuan was using the Li family to gamble on the path of other families, and anyone who wanted to interfere in his colleagues would have to pay more effort.

Those who are unwilling to contribute and want to reap the benefits can just get out.

"Okay, that's it." Yu Ze nodded seriously.

Everything was in order, Yu Ze finally looked up at Li Xuan: "What's going on with Yuan Jiuniang, the Yuan family now has a deep foundation in Hezhou, and now its tentacles have risen to Kuozhou, since they are interested, why not open the net." ”

Li Xuan waved her hand a little impatiently, and said: "Let's let it go first, Qingdong's matter is just the beginning now, and it is far from the time to worry about this, in addition, Sanniang has been pregnant for nine and a half months, and she is pregnant in October. ”

Yu Ze was suffocated by Li Xuan's words.

Yuan Jiuniang colluded with her father last time and assassinated Li Xuan, and he was directly detained by Li Xuan.

After all, with Yuan Jiuniang here, Li Xuan has evidence of the Yuan family's collusion with Tibet, so the Yuan family is doing their best in the transfer of grain and grass in Kuozhou.

After the colleagues took it, Li Xuan didn't need the Yuan family to do too much, so he sent someone to send Yuan Jiuniang back.

But unexpectedly, the Yuan family not only didn't want it, but also gave Yuan Jiuniang to Li Xuan.

Now he is raised in the deputy governor's office of Hezhou City, and Yuan Wei came this time with the intention of deepening the relationship with Li Xuan.

But how can Li Xuan have that mind now, Sanniang is about to give birth, and he can't return to Chang'an, his heart is irritable, how can he have the mind to deal with these things.

You can only put it first.

……

Yu Ze left the county office, and finally saw Yuan Wei again in a teahouse on the east side of the county office.

The lieutenant immediately gave up his hand: "Sir, how is that going?" ”

Yu Ze smiled and said: "The princess is about to give birth, the prince has no time to scruple now, let's talk about it after a while, the prince wants to have his own mansion in his colleagues, and the princess can't come over, so it will naturally be an opportunity...... However, in the matter of Kuozhou, the Yuan family still needs to do their best. ”

"Don't worry, sir." Yuan Wei's expression was solemn, and he arched his hand and said, "The Yuan family will definitely fully support the prince." ”
