Li Yan and others still don't understand what privateering permits represent.

And Li Kuan also gave them a simple answer: "Take this thing, you can go and rob it reasonably." ”

"At least, it's reasonable in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and you can also buy official equipment."

This sentence made them understand it thoroughly, and then it felt so good.

They can't beat the family, are they just some wild people outside?

Of course you can beat it.

Suddenly, a group of people were very grateful to Li Kuan, and they felt that this result was not bad.

When Li Yan and the others left, they didn't take away the gifts they gave, but just took away all the famous posts and gave all the gifts to Li Kuan.

In their words, this is the money used to buy lives.

This time Li Kuan accepted it, Li Kuan was afraid that he would not accept it, and this group of people was not at ease.

After sending them off, Li Kuan sat in the courtyard, looking at the gifts box after box.

Xu Jingzong and Li Chongyi followed him, both of them with expressions of wanting to say something.

While assessing the quality of the gift, Li Kuan said casually: "Is there anything you want to ask?" ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, but Li Chongyi hurriedly spoke: "My dear cousin, what do you think, why do you want to do this?" ”

"And you haven't reported any of these things, will the court agree?"

Xu Jingzong next to him also had this attitude.

Li Kuan casually threw a piece of gold back into the box and said lightly, "Why don't you agree?" ”

The rhetorical question made the two stunned, why did they disagree?

Of course, it's because of their cake.

This topic was not talked about any further, and Li Kuan's twists and turns were rushed to Chang'an by 800 miles.

In Chang'an City, there is another weekly court meeting, and today's Wei Zheng went to the court with a heavy heart.

He knew what the theme of today's meeting was, and how to reasonably accept the benefits vacated by the local wealthy.

It can also be said how to receive it at the lowest cost.

At first, Wei Zheng thought that it would be a fight between the Central Plains family and the forces led by the Feng family.

But at the last court meeting, someone impeached Feng Ang for raising thieves and self-respect, pointing out the origin of those rich people in Lingnan, who were thieves.

You can type these two words.

Therefore, at the last court meeting, someone proposed to strangle them, but Fang Xuanling refused on the grounds that they were born as thieves, and once they were forced to be in a hurry, they would tear their faces, and they would fight a lot of law and order wars at that time.

Today's meeting is a continuation of the last issue.

The bright sun in the sky could not dispel the bitterness in Wei Zheng's heart.

He hated this kind of court meeting to fight for the sake of the family.

"Why can't we just talk about how to make people have more pieces of meat in their bowls?"

Born in a poor family, Wei Zheng, who had experienced the hardships at the bottom, couldn't help but sigh.

The carriage gradually drove into the palace and stopped in front of the palace gate, and when Wei Zheng got out of the car, he found that many people had gathered in front of the palace gate.

Wei Zheng refused the other officials' requests to talk and stood alone until Wang Jue's arrival.

When Wang Qi came, he saw Wei Zheng standing alone in the corner, and walked over with a smile.

This Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, so he can chat with Wei Zheng for a few words.

"Yo, your face is full of sorrow, does the court make you so miserable?"

Wang Qi joked with a smile.

Wei Zheng heard the familiar voice, opened his eyes tiredly, and said helplessly: "If this court meeting discusses how to promote the method of manure in the Chu Palace, or discusses the promotion of new agricultural tools, I will be full of excitement, but when I think of how to help the family win the interests of Lingnan at the lowest cost today, I have no energy." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng paused for a moment, and then continued: "Oh, your Wang family is also a top family, and it is also among the ones I hate, so I can't be as passionate as you. ”

Wang Jue listened very well at first, but when he heard the words later, his face turned dark, and he couldn't help but say: "Wei Heizi, the friendship between the two of us is purely maintained by my lack of skin and face." ”

"The group of people who deserve to be Wagang don't like to stay with you very much, you really don't talk much."

Hearing this, the expression on Wei Zheng's face was a little richer.

After Wang Jue went back, he snorted coldly and turned his head to leave.

As soon as the time came, the palace gate was wide open, and officials at all levels lined up one after another and entered in order.

After a series of procedures of the court meeting, just about to start discussing Wei Zheng's most hated topic, Li Shimin above took the lead in speaking: "Everyone, I received a letter from the king of Chu in Lingnan yesterday, and he proposed to give the thieves gathered in Lingnan a chance to allow them to make meritorious contributions. ”

At the last court meeting, everyone had completely defined the local rich people in Lingnan as thieves.

Otherwise, how can it seem that the division is famous when everyone sends troops to attack.

Wei Zheng was a little embarrassed when he heard Li Shimin's words, what does it mean to make meritorious service by wearing a crime, and Wang Qi next to him smiled, obviously, he already knew.

After attracting everyone's attention, Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling to explain.

Fang Xuanling came out with a smile on his face and explained: "Datang Xinli is tolerant of everything, especially some involuntary behaviors in troubled times, they should be understood. ”

"The king of Chu has written to them, the thieves in Lingnan, and they can't help themselves in the troubled times, if they are willing to hand over the land in Lingnan, then our court should issue them a privateer license in exchange, and allow them to plunder outside Lingnan Road and outside the Tang Dynasty."

"One place per state, allowing them to redeem collectively and work together."

"The court allowed them to supply locally, but thirty percent of the wealth they plundered was given to the state."

"At the same time, the privateer license does not allow them to build cities, exercise their own laws, and only plunder."

What follows is Fang Xuanling's detailed description of a series of restrictions and permissible conditions for privateering permits.

Wei Zheng listened while looking at the demeanors of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Eldest Sun Wuji, and Wang Qi, and it was obvious that they all knew it.

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Wei Zheng immediately stepped out and said in a loud voice: "This law can just solve the problem of nationalization of land in Lingnan, and the minister agrees." ”

Wei Zheng's excited and approving appearance made the eldest grandson Wuji, who was about to assist Li Shimin, stunned, why are you so excited.

If Wei Zheng knew what he was saying, he would definitely shout, nonsense, this law is passed, with the mentality of those thieves in Lingnan, they must agree to it, plunder, this is their duty.

And they passed, today's court meeting does not need to discuss the interests of the family, he can directly raise the issue of the promotion of new agricultural tools, discuss the people's livelihood, this issue is what he likes.

After Wei Zheng agreed, the other heads of the families who came to the dynasty also agreed after thinking about it.

After the land was nationalized, they had a way to seize it.

And with this privateer license, they always feel that there is room for them to operate in it.

For example, they can cooperate with those privateer teams to make a lot of money together outside Lingnan and outside the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the history books, there are still some legendary small countries outside Lingnan, and if this is a wave of plunder, it should be able to make a lot of money, after all, it can be regarded as a private annihilation, and there is a lot of money in hand.

When those countries are destroyed, they move the boundary monuments, then it is the land of Datang, and when they write a letter to request, Datang has one more, and dozens of more states, it is not impossible, and their family children can arrange another wave.

As for the privateers, if there are no privateers, then they will be strangled by the regular army, and their family will not lose.

The heads of the families present are not fools, and their heads are made quickly.

As Li Kuan said, why not agree?
