The monopoly of salt and iron is destined to cause a bloody storm.

The reason is simple, there are too many people who make huge profits on this.

Li Yunze wants to snatch the benefits of salt and iron from them, and this kind of thing is a typical way to cut off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

In this era when a group of people gather together to drink and dare to pull the flag to rebel after going up, it is inevitable to rebel against the imperial court to recover the benefits of salt and iron.

Li Yunze knew this very well, so he chose the ruthless Zhidu, and arranged for him to have 5,000 selected elites.

It is indeed selected, basically they are all good families in Guanzhong Shangjun and other places, and only those who are not involved in the benefits of salt and iron are eligible to be selected.

These sergeants, under the leadership of Gongsun Ao, who was awarded the title of Pavilion Marquis for the successive pacification of Huainan and the rebellion of Hengshan Kingdom, escorted Zhidu to Guguan and began to inspect the world county by county.

Since Zhidu sent a letter to Guguan, basically every month Li Yunze will receive an official letter from Zhidu.

At the beginning, the official document also listed in detail how many illegal things in a certain county and how many things disobeyed the imperial court's salt and iron monopoly.

Then they listed those people and their families one by one, and then how many families were disposed of.

Zhidu, under the influence of Li Yunze, is already too civilized.

At least he will collect evidence at this time, and then lead the troops to the door to play after the charges are confirmed.

In the past, when Zhidu went to the place, he first asked which local big household it was, and then directly took the county soldiers to the door to shake the egg yolk, and the earthworm was cut vertically and swept it directly.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the local heroes who stirred up the world were too miserable in this era.

The reason is not difficult to understand, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the local heroes were strong, deeply cultivated the local area for tens or even hundreds of years, had food, money and people, and had a close relationship with local officials, so they were naturally qualified to stir up trouble in the troubled times.

But at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, if the local heroes came out, they would soon be migrated to Guanzhong.

Even if they try their best to stay in their hometown, it is true that they have food and money, but there are definitely not many people.

The early Han Dynasty was not the terrifying era when land was annexed to the common people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

In this era, the common people were basically homesteaders, and the difference was only in the size of the land they owned.

Without large-scale, bottomless, and all-out land annexation with the support of the yamen, the people would not have become powerful tenant slaves, and the people would be the people of the imperial court, not the powerful people.

Without the people who are tied up, relying solely on the manpower of their own family, the local heroes can have the strength of a fart.

No one, then all the strength is a joke.

As for the affairs of local officials, the most important purpose of Li Yunze's imperial examination is to break the hereditary inheritance of local officials.

In the Han Dynasty, a recommendation system was used, and people with local fame were recommended as officials, which naturally had a deep connection with the local area.

Although the county guard can be constantly rotated by the imperial court, how many can there be like Zhidu?

Most of the county guards just turn a blind eye to the benefits.

Li Yunze's arrangement of the imperial examination was to break this system of sitting on officials, turn it into a system of flowing officials, cut off the connection between local heroes and local officials, and cut off the opportunity for heroes to become bigger.

After all, the rise of local tyrants in the late Eastern Han Dynasty brought too much damage.

Wuhu treats Han'er as a two-legged sheep, but the local heroes also don't treat the people as people, they are all raccoon dogs.

Zhidu used it as a quick knife to kill madness in various counties.

Later, the official documents sent to the case of the Son of Heaven every month have been gradually simplified to 'In a certain year and a certain month, in a certain county and a certain county, convict such and so, and destroy it~~~'

As for the reason, it is very simple, naturally because Zhi Du has already killed the red eye.

On this day, Li Yunze came to eat in the Jiaofang Palace, and the queen Zhuo Wenjun on the side was busy serving.

When he was eating, the palace maid who poured wine for him on the side, for some reason, shook her hand and directly knocked down the wine glass, which directly spilled all over the table, and dripped onto Li Yunze's clothes.

The palace maid was obviously frightened, and trembling saluted and pleaded guilty.

"Alright, it's a big deal." Li Yunze waved his hand, "Pay attention in the future, get busy." ”

When dealing with powerful and evil officials, high-ranking officials of the gate valve, and rebellious aliens, Li Yunze killed countless people at every turn, and never knew what his subordinates were merciful.

Even if it was slaughtered to the point that the corpses were all over the valley, the blood-stained river was not the slightest moved.

However, when facing the small people of Shengdou and the people of Qiantou, Li Yunze was very gentle and unusually tolerant.

Even if he was scolded in person, he would at most break the leg of the scolder, at least he would not let him go home to play the Nine Clans.

The high-level life in many worlds has not worn out his original heart, and he still adheres to the belief of people-oriented.

Of course, people must be hardworking, brave and kind people of Middle-earth.

After the palace maid who had been granted amnesty stepped down, Zhuo Wenjun personally knelt aside and poured wine and vegetables for Li Yunze.

are all old husbands and wives, Li Yunze is naturally very casual, "Did you send the letter?" ”

"It's already been delivered." Zhuo Wenjun's words were a little difficult.

Li Yunze raised his eyebrows slightly, "What, the national abbot is unwilling?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to." Zhuo Wenjun sighed and said, "It's just that the family business is huge, and it is difficult to arrange it in a short period of time." ”

This matter is very simple, as Zhidu began to do things in various counties, the big businessmen who were engaged in salt and iron in various places were naturally rumored, and those who had a way were desperately going to the door.

Among them, Zhuo Wangsun, who is the ruler of the country, is one of them.

Zhuo Wang Sun is the smelting boss of Shu County, and almost more than half of the smelting industry in the entire Shu County is his industry.

In terms of nature, Zhuo Wangsun belongs to the kind of people that Zhidu will inevitably focus on.

Most of the property of King Zhuo came from Deng Tong, a favorite minister of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.

After the fall of Deng Tong, Zhuo Wangsun ate most of his inheritance.

The reason why Deng Tong was able to rise was mainly because of the support of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, which annexed the property of the famous rich widow Qing in the Qin period.

These are in the same line, and they all rely on the smelting industry of Shu County and Ba County to achieve the status of super-rich.

Originally, according to the practice of the Han Dynasty, when Zhuo Wenjun became the queen, Zhuo Wangsun should hand over the property in his hand to Shaofu, and then comfortably become a foreign relative.

But the problem is that Li Yunze didn't give Zhuo Wangsun a chance to be a relative at all, let alone a marquis, and even Chang'an City didn't let him stay.

Zhuo Wangsun, who was angry, could only return to his hometown and continue to be his own big businessman.

However, Li Yunze ordered Zhidu to lead troops to inspect the world, and the blood of the powerful businessmen who did all kinds of evil was spilled into a river, which naturally made Zhuo Wangsun a little panicked.

He wrote a letter to his daughter asking for help, but where did Zhuo Wenjun dare to help him speak, even if she spoke, Zhi would not listen.

In desperation, Zhuo Wenjun had no choice but to inform Li Yunze of the matter.

Li Yunze asked Zhuo Wenjun to write a letter to Zhuo Wangsun, clearly telling him that now he would hand over those properties to Shaofu, which was the only way to survive.

But now it seems that Zhuo Wangsun still has unrealistic hopes.

"You write another letter." After all, he is an old man, even if Li Yunze is dissatisfied in his heart, he is still willing to give him another chance, "You don't need to write anything, just write a sentence." ’”

His attitude is already very clear, the words have been said in place, if he still doesn't listen, then when Zhi Du enters Bashu, he will bear the consequences.

Zhuo Wenjun was actually a little dissatisfied in his heart.

After all, Li Yunze did not give King Zhuo Sun the title of marquis according to the tradition, and now he wants to take away the property of the Zhuo family.

Li Yunze saw Zhuo Wenjun's thoughts, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing to ask Guozhang to hand over the smelting industry to Shaofu, and Shaofu also gives money." There are so many businesses in this world, there is no need to hold on to the business that the court does not allow. I intend to rebuild Guanzhong here

Shu's plank road, this project can allow Guozhang to bid. ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Wenjun finally smiled, "Oh~~~"

After lunch, Li Yunze went back to continue to handle official business, and then he received a major news from outside the Saiwai.

"The warlord is dead? Or was it poisoned? ”

Looking at the official document in his hand, Li Yunze was slightly surprised, "This is too careless, it will be poisoned by someone at close range." ”

He turned his head and asked the Lang officials around him, "Do you know that the Bank of China said that he is still alive?" ”

The Bank of China said that it was the first traitor in recorded history.

He was originally a eunuch of the Han Dynasty, and when Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was pro-Xiongnu, he was sent to the Xiongnu as a princess's dowry.

The Bank of China said that it was unwilling to go, but it was forcibly escorted out of the country.

After that, the Bank of China said that he hated the Han and took the initiative to serve the Xiongnu Shan Yu to become an important strategist.

As a eunuch, he naturally knows how to protect the Son of Heaven and check food to avoid poisoning.

The officials looked at each other, how did they know if the mastermind of the Xiongnu Da Danyu was dead.

In the silence, there was a Lang official Li Xi who came out to salute, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to the border to investigate this matter." ”

"Hmm."

For those who dare to do things, Li Yunze still appreciates it very much, "Very good, then go ahead, pay attention to safety." ”

"Whoa!"

By the time Li Xi returned, it would have been half a year later.

When he returned to Chang'an City, Li Yunze was attending the completion ceremony of the first phase of Chang'an New City.

Because there is no need to build a palace and a city wall, it is equivalent to omitting the two largest and most important major projects, so the first phase of Chang'an New City was built quickly.

The main buildings are mainly roads, as well as the planning and basic security system of each city.

Then there's the amazing sewer system of this era, plus never-before-seen elevated aqueducts, and arenas.

Li Yunze, who was visiting the sewers when he learned of Li Xi's return, immediately summoned him to ask, "How are the Huns?" ”

"Your Majesty."

Li Xi, who was in the dust, immediately saluted and said: "The internal disputes of the Huns have gradually subsided, and Yizhi, the king of Zuogu Li, has been recognized and supported by the Huns, and has become the new Xiongnu Dadanyu." ”

"What does the Bank of China say?"

"The Bank of China said that he had died of illness as early as last year."

"No wonder." Li Yunze nodded suddenly, "Without the help of professionals, it is understandable to be cheated." ”

Li Xi, who looked a little strange, threw out another shocking news.

"The minister inquired and learned that the new Xiongnu Dadan Yu Yizhixian, the Yan clan he established, was the daughter of Liu An, the former king of Huainan, and Liu Ling, the lord of the Han Dynasty."

Li Yunze paused, his expression moved slightly, "Oh? Isn't this just a woman who doesn't want a bride price and takes the initiative to talk to Hei Shu? I'm not afraid that the taste is too strong and smokes to death! ”
