Chapter 33: No Compromise Internally

Guanzhong has been fighting for many years, and the wealthy have long been plagued by waves of chaotic soldiers, so it stands to reason that there should be no difficulty.

Li Ye just wanted to take this opportunity to take back the land in his hands.

In any dynasty, the main contradiction is actually the annexation of land, and the people at the bottom can't survive, so it rises up.

Li Ye waited for the following.

Zhao Chongning pondered his emotions for a moment before he said: "Chen Qing found out that there are 1,800 hectares of high-grade fertile land, 2,300 hectares of medium-grade fields, and 1,500 hectares of low-grade fields. ”

"How can it be so little?" Han Wei couldn't help but interject.

Li Ye came from later generations, lived and worked in the city, and had no idea about the size of the field, Han Hao's words reminded Li Ye, that is to say, the entire Chang'an only adds up to 4,600 acres of land.

It's not quite right, but whenever there is any chaos in the world, the spearhead is aimed at Chang'an, it stands to reason that Chang'an's landlords and old financial meritorious nobles are almost dead, and there should be a lot of ownerless fields.

Without waiting for Li Ye to ask, Han Wei sighed and said: "In the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the past, Chang'an had a population of more than one million, and there were 57,000 hectares of fields registered by the Ministry of Officials, but I didn't expect that now Chang'an has a population of only 270,000, but the fields are only 6,600 acres. ”

Li Ye is not a fool, someone has embezzled land before him.

Zhao Chongning glanced at Zhang Chengye.

Of the four people in Tianxin Pavilion, which one is not a person with a clear mind? Zhang Chengye bowed his hand to Li Ye and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will avoid it." ”

Li Ye observed his words, others may have doubts about Zhang Chengye, but he would never, "No need, these are all your own people, don't avoid it, you have something to say." ”

Zhao Chongning arched his hand at Zhang Chengye: "The above is what the minister found in the register of the ministers, and the ministers have also inspected on the spot, Guanzhong has been in disrepair due to years of war, the canal is in disrepair, there are 10,000 hectares of land around Chang'an, and there are 5,000 in the hands of Liu Jishu, the right lieutenant of Shence, and 8,400 in the name of the princes of the royal family. ”

Li Ye's gaze turned to Zhang Chengye, "What is the details of this Liu Jishu?" He remembered that Liu Quanli was also the son of this person.

Zhang Chengye said: "This person entered the palace in Xiantong for six years because of his family's poverty, and he was promoted to the right lieutenant of the Shence Army, and he has been in the palace for more than 20 years. ”

There are many henchmen who are low-key? Isn't this similar to taking the same route as yourself?

Li Ye paced back and forth in the room.

At the time of the Qin and Han dynasties, Guanzhong was fertile for thousands of miles, and half of the world's population and wealth were here, so the pattern of Qin and Han dominating the world was established. The world has changed, and the army of Guanzhong is going down the river and is invincible.

However, after the Anshi and Huangchao Rebellions, Guanzhong was riddled with holes, and in fact, it was far behind the Central Plains, Hebei, Jiangnan and other places, and even Sichuan and Shu could not be compared.

In such a precarious situation, there are still royal families and powerful ministers who continue to annex land, and the people are hungry and resentful of the court, which is the reason for the confusion of the people at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

If Li Ye wants to make a difference, he must face this problem head-on and solve it.

Otherwise, he is just a pasteur like Li Zhongtang in later generations.

In Li Hongzhang's era, the Qing Dynasty was dying, and there was still a breath of air.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, where Li Ye was located, the Tang Dynasty was just a dry bone in the mound.

Dry bones also have the benefit of dry bones, at least not as many maggots.

No matter what Li Ye wants to do, the resistance is very small, everyone is weak, if Li Ye does not dare to touch their interests at this time, you can imagine how difficult it will be in the future, you grow, the interest group is also growing, and even the carefully cultivated fresh muscles will be corrupted.

This is not what Li Ye wants to see, nor is it the Datang he wants to reviverate. Li Ye stopped, his gaze firm, "From tomorrow, Ashina Zhenyan will lead the personal guards to assist you in checking the land, whether it is the clan or the powerful ministers, if you eat it, I want them to spit it out!" ”

Externally, you can be reluctant and cowardly, as long as you stick to the bottom limit, but internally, you must not compromise or relax.

As long as the pro-guard army is in hand and the Shence army is in power, Li Ye will never believe that they can jump out of flowers.

Zhao Chongning's voice was loud: "The minister is ordered!" ”

Zhang Chengye indirectly mentioned that when he first took charge of the military power of the Shence Army, he could only unite with Liu Jishu to eliminate Han Quanzhi's influence in the army, so Zhao Chongning became suspicious.

Anyone doubts Zhang Chengye, Li Ye will not.

It's not just the traces he left in history, but Zhang Chengye proved his ability and loyalty to Li Ye with practical actions.

Li Ye reused Gao Xingzhou, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was sharing the power of Zhang Chengye.

Zhang Chengye did not have any complaints, actively cooperated, and selected the most elite 8,000 people of the Shence Army to come out and hand them over to Gao Xingzhou.

If it weren't for these 8,000 elites, how could Gao Xingzhou be able to match Han Jian's Caizhou soldiers?

If a eunuch is not in love with power and is not greedy for money, it can only mean that he has a dream.

On the second day, Li Ye summoned Ashina Zhenyan back to Chang'an, and in addition to the scouts of the headquarters, he drew two more from the Praetorian Guards to fully assist Zhao Chongning.

Zhao Chongning no longer cowered and made a bold move.

In less than three days, several princes of the Li family made trouble in front of Li Ye.

Li Ye couldn't tell who was who, one by one, they were full of fat, and openly cried and made a fuss in the court meeting, saying that the land was given to them by their ancestors, and if the emperor insisted on going his own way, their old bones would be killed on the Zichen Palace, and they went to the underworld to complain to the ancestors and ancestors.

Tang Tingdu is so virtuous, if he doesn't have the courage to swing a knife at himself, how can he dare to swing a knife at Fanzhen?

Besides, Li Ye didn't think that these princes were his own people.

It's been almost 300 years since you eat and drink Datang, and it's time to contribute.

Otherwise, it's not cheaper for those rebellious thieves? In terms of acting skills, Li Ye feels that he dares to be called second, and no one in the world dares to call him first.

At the moment, he also snorted and cried, saying that the world of the Tang Dynasty was so decadent, and he Li Ye could not escape the blame, and he had no face to go to the underworld to meet Li Tang's ancestors and ancestors, so he had to ask a few princes to go down first and apologize to the ancestors on behalf of him Li Ye.

After the two rows of majestic guards poured into the door, several princes suddenly stopped making trouble, and were busy singing praises to Li Ye for governing the country well, and the Tang Dynasty was orderly, far surpassing the ancestors, and there was no need to ask the ancestors for their guilt.

Cui Yin, who had gained the benefits, followed suit, and the court immediately sang praises of virtue.

To say that they have no other skills, the sycophants are absolutely first-class, the writing is brilliant, and the rhetoric is gorgeous, Li Ye almost believed it.

So the whole early dynasty ended in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere.

After going to the court, Li Ye's mind was full of Liu Jishu, and at this time, he was still calm, either admitting it, or drumming up some conspiracy.

"Your Majesty, King Qin Li Sizhou asks to see you." Since Liu Quanli went out to run errands, the new little yellow door is this thirty-year-old Wang Zhongxian.

To be honest, Li Ye doesn't like this person very much, this person gives him a gloomy feeling.

But he did things quite well, and he was respectful to himself, so Li Ye didn't think much about it.

As soon as he heard that it was the prince of the clan again, Li Ye felt a big headache, could it be that he came to find himself again to return to the field?

"See you." Li Ye figured it out, he could hide for a while, but he couldn't hide for a lifetime.

"Minister Li Sizhou pays a visit to Your Majesty." To Li Ye's surprise, this Qin King Li Sizhou was born with a good skin, his face was like a full moon, his body was straight, his eyes were bright, he was heroic, and his attitude was very respectful at the age of twenty-one and twelve.

The first impression was good, and Li Ye was patient and polite, "My own family, no need to be polite, give a seat." ”

The palace maid moved the stool, and Li Sizhou sat down respectfully.
