Chapter 40: A Wave of Fat
was poked and poked so directly to confess his heart, Li Ye's goosebumps rose, "I don't want you to break your bones, just do your thing, how is Wang Xingyu's situation?" ”
When it came to business, Liu Quanli wiped away his tears, "After Wang Xingyu turned his face with Li Maozhen, he repeatedly strengthened his contact with the imperial court through slaves and maids, hoping that the imperial court could assist him in preparing food and grass." ”
"Oh? This Wang Xingyu is really a smart person. Li Ye said with a smile.
Now he has fallen out with Li Maozhen, looking around, there are party members in the north, and Dunfang Town in the east, all of which are weak feudal domains, and the king of Xichuan is too far away, separated by Li Maozhen, and he can't help him, and Tang Ting is his only choice.
However, Li Ye is also short of food and grass, so it is impossible to give it to him.
"You can tell him that the imperial court also has difficulties, the poor are about to drink the northwest wind, and there is nothing to do, but as long as Li Maozhen does something to him, the imperial court will definitely send troops to rescue!" If you don't give something, you have to write a bad check.
"The slave knows."
Today is the day of the court meeting, Li Ye is too lazy to go, and he is also upset when he goes, now there is one more Pei Zhen in the court, and several people are evenly matched, let them make trouble.
After eating a trench and growing wise, Li Ye didn't dare to wander around the palace with a few guards like before.
No matter what the rules and regulations, the thirty guards were all fully armed, with armor, horizontal swords, bows and arrows, all ready.
Li Ye himself also wore a soft armor and carried a dagger.
The psychological shadow left on him last night was too great.
It's just a moment of negligence, and someone took advantage of it.
But then again, the eunuch at the end of the Tang Dynasty was really a cow, and he would do it if he said he would do it, if it weren't for his great fortune and fate, and Dong Congshi didn't want to kill him, he would have gone to heaven a long time ago.
Walking and walking, I arrived at the queen's Ning'an Palace.
The queen's face was haggard, obviously she was worried all night last night, and when she saw Li Ye, tears flowed down her eyes.
"What are you crying about, isn't that a good thing to be? Where's that little girl in the plains? "I didn't see the plain, Li Ye felt a little less alive.
"Last night's incident, the concubine sent her out of the palace first."
"Well done." Li Ye praised.
After comforting the queen for a while, Li Ye took his guards to Tianxin Pavilion, and at this time they were all fighting lawsuits in the court, and there was no one in Tianxin Pavilion.
Li Ye rarely enjoyed the peace.
If you think about it carefully, the advantages of this mutiny outweigh the disadvantages, and after a thorough screening of the Shence Army, the number of troops will definitely drop significantly, but the combat effectiveness will definitely rise in a straight line.
The heads of those princes were cut off, and the obstacle to the inventory of the fields was gone.
The most important thing is to determine Li Ye's prestige.
Through the past six months, Li Ye has always been approachable, polite to people, no problem in sales, there is a problem in being an emperor, Li Cunqiao is also kind, and the favored servant slapped him in front of everyone, he smiled and joked, what was the result? The people around me are all reversed.
The emperor wants to be respected and feared.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the martial artists rose, and the original order was all broken, you play amicable with others, and others play with knives with you.
Li Ye wants to sit firmly on the throne, his personality must be strong, he must see blood, and he must let others know his majesty!
On this basis, it is possible to play approachable.
About half an hour later, Han Hao pushed the door in, saw Li Ye, and hurriedly saluted, his attitude was much more respectful than usual, Li Ye knew that it was the result of killing people with his own hands, so he was too lazy to be polite, and generously accepted his salute, "The court discussion is over so soon?" ”
"Your Majesty didn't go, they didn't even have the heart to quarrel."
In fact, Han Quanzhu's gang seems to be in a high position, but in fact they have no power, there is only one Chang'an left in the Tang Dynasty, and the six departments of the three provinces are in vain, and the feudal towns in various places turn a deaf ear, saying that they are the prime ministers, but in fact, they are not as good as the military advisers of some big feudal towns.
Li Ye also did not intend to merge the two states of Huatong that had just been conquered into the central government, otherwise with their virtue of not being able to achieve enough things and more than to lose, the two states would become a miasma.
Two states and one pass, only Li Ye needs to be personally responsible.
If it weren't for the fact that the Tang Dynasty had a trace of influence over the feudal towns in various places, Li Ye would have abolished it all a long time ago.
Tang Ting, the old house, is leaking everywhere, Li Ye is not interested in tinkering, in fact, the three provinces and six ministries are no longer suitable for this era, Tianxin Pavilion is the core of his future power, and the court is just a disguise, with his current strength, he can certainly eliminate Han Quanxue, Cui Yin, Cui Zhaowei and others.
But the undercover agents in the court of the feudal towns are not only the ones on the surface.
Keep them, the feudal towns can rest assured, and they will also have peace of mind.
However, the palace has indeed strengthened its rectification, and in the future, he will make great efforts to innovate, and interest groups will not be tied back.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Chengye and Zhao Chongning came back and forth.
Gao Xingzhou cut out the Shence Army, he was too busy to take a break at this time, Liu Quanli is a supernumerary, and he is still in the inspection stage, Li Yun is in Huazhou.
Zhang Chengye looked tired, and it seemed that he hadn't slept all night, after all, Li Ye threw all the aftermath work to him, "Your Majesty, Liu Jishu and Wang Zhongxian were all arrested by their relatives in Beijing, and they were beheaded at noon tomorrow. ”
From the perspective of later generations, the crime is not as good as the family, but this is the end of the Tang Dynasty, there is its own order at the end of the Tang Dynasty, after this mutiny, Li Ye knows that he must not be merciful to the enemy, in history, Zhaozong was imprisoned by eunuchs, and the people around him were wantonly slaughtered, whether old or young.
These are the rules of troubled times.
No killing is not enough to stand up!
"What should the family members of the three generals do?" Li Ye asked.
"All of them will be arrested, and they will be beheaded tomorrow."
"Leave a little blood for Dong Congshi." In my mind, the scene of Dong Congshi wielding a knife to kill himself is vivid.
Two people can decide the fate of hundreds of people with just a few words. All four in the hall fell silent.
It was Zhang Chengye who spoke: "The seven palaces of King Ji and King Hui have been confiscated, plus Liu Jishu, a total of 13,000 hectares of land, 100,000 taels of money, 12,000 taels of gold, 47,000 taels of silver, 94,000 horses of silk, 100,000 stones of grain, and 2,500 pieces of calligraphy and painting. ”
Finally heard something glad.
He has no concept of money and silk, but this 100,000 stone grain is too timely.
The Shence Army has three fights per person per month, plus the pro-guard army is calculated at 30,000 people, which is enough to last for more than a year and a few months.
No wonder at the end of the Ming Dynasty, after Li Zicheng captured the capital, he came to torture the salary, these princes are really rich.
Han Wei sighed: "In the past when the Wuzong Dynasty was in the past, any prince was in the king, and the family property was more than that. ”
Huichang, the legacy of Huichang, is the name of Wuzong.
Is that too little?
Li Ye felt very satisfied, Chang'an was broken by the chaotic army several times, and it would be good to have so many.
"All the land is transferred to the Huangzhuang, and then leased to the homeless people for farming, do you think the rent is appropriate?" Li Ye's biggest concern now is the fields.
"Your Majesty wants to implement the Juntian system?" Zhao Chongning said.
Li Ye traveled through the later generations, read a lot of idle books, and also understood a little, the field is related to his future development, he has to be cautious, the collapse of the empire, the main reason is that there is a big problem with the land.
Zhao Chongning was very knowledgeable, and when he saw that Li Ye had doubts, he explained the Juntian system in detail.
The so-called equalization system means that the land is owned by the state and leased to the people for cultivation, and the rent-yong regulation is implemented on the basis of the equalization system. All households with equal land, regardless of the amount of land granted by their families, pay a fixed amount of taxes as rent, serve a certain amount of forced labor, and pay local specialties as adjustments.
The problem is that after the country is stabilized, the population increases, and the state is unable to take out land to equalize the land, and in addition, the land annexation is serious, and the state expenditure does not decrease but increases.
The people were overwhelmed, more and more peasants fled the fields, and the land equalization system existed in name only.
Later, Yang Yan, the prime minister of Tang Dezong, reformed taxes and created the two tax laws, the so-called two taxes, that is, taxes were collected twice in summer and autumn, and as much land as there was rent, and all taxes were exempted.
This law has both advantages and disadvantages, simplifying the tax collection procedures of the imperial court and reducing the burden on the people.
However, from then on, the imperial court did not accept land, and the people bought and sold freely, which intensified the land annexation.
The imperial court's control over the land became weaker and weaker, and when the imperial court used money, all kinds of harsh taxes followed.
After listening to Zhao Chongning's explanation, Li Ye understood the pros and cons of the two, "The land will first be returned to Huangzhuang, rented to the people of Chang'an and the displaced people, cancel the mediocrity, and only collect 30% of the grain rent. ”
