Li Qi, who is the prince of South Korea, is sneaky at the door of his house, not for anything else, just to avoid his own father Li Shanchang.

On that day, after Li Shanchang denounced a group of court officials who had not achieved enough things and had more than enough failures, he did not draw a clear line with these officials in the DPRK and China as Li Qi wished.

On the contrary, they came up with a new plan: let the officials of the DPRK and China transfer the shop industry in Beijing to the Huaixi nobles in exchange for various lands in the hands of the Huaixi nobles.

The Huaixi nobles who followed Lao Zhu to raise the army, most of their backgrounds are the same as Lao Zhu, and they are bitter people who have no permanent property. Perhaps because of what was lacking, they became more and more obsessed with something, and these Huaixi nobles all wantonly enclosed land after their careers, and almost wherever they were stationed, they had to draw out a piece of their own Zhuangzi there.

Some bold people like Zhu Liang's ancestors have no less than hundreds of thousands of acres of land in various parts of their homes, and most of them are watered with good water. Lao Zhu was not unaware of this in the past, but after all, the heroes had made outstanding achievements, and after many years of war, there were few people and many places in the land of China, so these noble enclosures did not cause any big storms, so Lao Zhu put this matter aside for the time being, and only occasionally remembered it, and just mentioned it to them in private.

It wasn't until Zhu Su revealed his identity and informed Lao Zhu of the so-called "dynastic cycle law" that Lao Zhu was shocked to realize that the so-called encirclement of land was actually the bane that led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later.

When Zhu Su went to Suzhou, Lao Zhu called the nobles into the palace and beat them hard, warning them to disperse the large area of land in their hands quickly.

Seeing that the emperor was really moving, a group of nobles did not dare to slack off, such as Li Wenzhong, Xu Da, etc., and soon sold the excess land at home to respond to the emperor's order.

But more nobles can't let go. This is land! It's a family business that I managed to save with great difficulty. What a pity if it was dispersed because of a word?

Aren't we born and died on the battlefield for the word wealth?

Therefore, more people are still hesitant, reluctant to give up the land in their hands, even if they want to sell, they only want to sell at a high price, and are unwilling to bear the loss caused by the cheap sale. came and went, and it dragged on to this day.

If the officials are willing to replace the shops in Beijing, these Huaixi nobles will definitely be overjoyed and agree.

After all, the shop in Beijing is also a good family business that can be passed on to the children and grandchildren, and it is not far more than the land; Exchanging the fields in the capital for the shops in the capital can also learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and communicate with each other: officials no longer need to expose their huge belongings in Beijing, and they don't need to worry about being remembered by the emperor; The nobles don't have too much land in their names, and they are worthy of His Majesty's instructions.

Both sides don't have to make any sacrifices, and everyone is happy.

Only Li Qi was frightened by this "clever plan". Father's method is indeed a clever plan for those court officials, after all, except for Xungui who has this need and ability, no one else can eat the huge property that these people have been classified into the new tax law in Beijing in a short period of time.

But in this way, his father not only connected with the civil officials, but even implicated the nobles who led the troops: the nobles were anxious about the affairs of the scattered fields, and the father was in the middle, which in the eyes of His Majesty was tantamount to showing favor to the civil and military officials.

What will Your Majesty think of showing favor to civil and military officials at the same time? The imperial court has just abolished the prime minister, and you, Li Shanchang, have hooked up with hundreds of civil and military officials in the center, what do you Li Shanchang want to do?

Doesn't it mean that you want to become Huo Guang and the eldest grandson Wuji's business, isn't it realistic?

Li Qi thought of this, almost sat and couldn't sit still, hearing that his father was going to invite many Huaixi nobles today, he was in a big risk, and he knew that if he didn't do something, I was afraid that it would be too late to regret it. Therefore, before dawn, he secretly slipped out of the house from the corner gate, preparing to squat in front of the gate of the prince Zhu Biao's house, and as soon as he saw the prince leaving the palace and entering the palace, he intercepted the prince's car to tell the informant.

Before he could take two steps, he felt that something on his head suddenly covered him. Immediately after that, it was dark in front of him, and I don't know who was very familiar with the kick on the crook of his leg, Li Qi let out a "ahh

"Who! Who is it! I am Li Qi, the prince of South Korea, who is so young that I dare to kidnap the children of heroes? Li Qi shouted, he had realized that he had met a strongman. It's just that where is the strongman so rampant that he dares to tie someone up in front of his own house?

"Yo, this kid still dares to say nonsense! Look at me to convince people with virtue! A voice in his ear said, and then, it was the feeling of being whipped by a stick a few times, Li Qi shook the pain, didn't he say that he wanted to convince people with virtue, why did he still use a stick.

Just as he was about to call for help, he heard another voice say: "Second brother, don't do it, this Li Qi is also a nobleman no matter what he says, and he can't be easily added with a stick." ”

Li Qixin said that there was a reasonable bandit, and he was about to praise two sentences, when he suddenly felt a pain in the top of his head, and his consciousness became blurred. In the fog, he heard the voice and continued, "...... Don't startle the snake, shoot him dizzy first, find a secluded place and ask slowly. ”

“…… Fourth, you still think about it! You're really accurate with this brick! I feel that this brick is much better than my stick. The kidnapper's voice in front of him said. With a hint of approval.

"You can't add it with a stick, just use a brick to stun you......" Li Qi was speechless for a while, only this last thought flashed in his heart, and then his body went soft and he fainted directly on the ground.

By the time he woke up, the things on his head had been lifted, and he was already in a dilapidated house. In the place blocked by a curtain in the room, there seemed to be two figures, Li Qi endured the sharp pain in the corner of his forehead, and said: "Two good men, I, Li Qi, do not cause trouble with others, and I have no grudge against the two of them, and I have no enmity in the near future." ”

"If you want money, you can give a number. Li Qi can write an IOU, and the two of them bring their own IOUs and go to my Li family to withdraw them. ”

"Li Qi really has important things to do, and he can't accompany the two of them for a long time. I also hope that the two of them will raise their noble hands, and how much money they need, just report the amount. ”

"Yo, fourth, this guy treats us like thieves seeking money!" A voice shouted inside, Li Qi frowned, listening to this person's tone, it didn't seem to care about any wealth and wealth......

"The Korean government, what a big breath." Another voice sneered. "You don't have to guess, the grandfathers are the brocade guards."

"We have already found out that the case of commercial tax evasion and tax evasion is inseparable from your Li family."

"Li Qi, you should have heard of my Jinyiwei's methods, acquaintances are recruited from the truth, how did those court officials evade taxes...... If you dare to conceal it and not report it, hum, no matter what kind of Korean prince you are, I want you to try the power of our Jinyi Guard! ”

Zhu Di said in a fierce tone. Jinyiwei's edict is among the court officials, and he has long been notorious, and Zhu Di estimated that the prestige of Jinyiwei was enough to scare Li Qi into a fart.

Unexpectedly, Li Qi didn't have the slightest fear, but his eyes lit up, and he struggled: "Is it actually an adult in brocade clothes?" ”

"Great! It's just great! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I confess, I report! Hurry up and take me to your majesty, I have something important to tell you! ”
