Wang Che did not hesitate to attack the nobles, heroes, and official families.

"The Zhao family, the Cao family, the Zhang family, the Chen family and the Han family, these are the nobles and officials who first came to me." Wang Yun said.

"These families have encroached on a large number of acres of land in various places, and their family power is also intertwined, so they need to find some reasons to divide and deal with it!"

Wang Che knows the situation of these families very well, the Zhao family was divided by the Gong family, but it was divided during the Huaiguo period, it has been more than 300 years ago, and there is basically no contact for a long time.

The Zhang family is the descendant of Prime Minister Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang is very measured, even if he is in a high position, he never acts recklessly, but when it comes to his grandson, he begins to know how to be proportionate. Nowadays, the Zhang family in the Gyeonggi area occupies a lot of land and estates, and even dares to take over lawsuits because there are people in their families who are officials and have titles left by their ancestors.

The Chen family and the Han family were very famous in the local area, and they used various ways to encroach on land, which was not in their name on the surface, but was actually controlled by them.

Wang Che is ready to split these families, the main family will be killed, and the rest will be exiled. It is just right to solve some land annexation problems and resettle some people.

"Your Majesty, there are many nobles who can't get the land deed, what should I do in the end?" Wang Zong next to him asked.

"It's simple, as long as you can't get the land deed, you can give the land to the people who are cultivating it or the homeless tenants." Wang Che said with a smile.

"There is a lot of room for operation in this way, once someone colludes up and down to turn the ordinary people's fields into those noble and powerful fields, it is a good intention to do bad things!" Wang Zong said with some concern.

Wang Yun didn't say a word beside him, as the king of the outer domain, he couldn't express any opinion on the government.

"It's going to be messy for a while." Wang Che is well aware of the impact of these things, but these things must be done, Daqian has been stable for a hundred years, and the population is overcrowded, so he needs to try his best to alleviate the contradiction between population and land.

Regarding the choice between the people of the world or the noble family, Wang Che feels that it is still a bitter and noble family, after all, the people are already bitter enough. After all, the hardships of the noble family are nothing more than less meat and less silk and satin, and the people are suffering because they want to sell their sons and daughters.

"The Imperial History Observatory will be rectified, and then send the Imperial History Inspector to tour Gyeonggi, select some young, no faction, and clean scholars from the Academy, and let the embroidered envoy secretly visit, if these inspectors are selfless and loyal to their duties, then after they are trained, they can be given a higher official position, or the ruling party."

"Or cultivate more imperial histories and distribute them to the whole country, or you can take the opportunity to clean some places and rectify the rule of officials. Those officials are becoming more and more disagreeable, and the more remote the area, the more serious it is, and by the way, they will take the opportunity to split up some big families in various places. ”

"I heard that there are many places now that the county is looking out, what Langya Xu's, Huiji Xiao's and so on, what a big name! These counties were dismantled and divided into Hehuang, Cangwu, Lelang, and Ryukyu. ”

Wang Che said very gently, but if he let those nobles, heroes, and official families hear it, he is afraid that it will be bitterly cold.

"After such an operation, it is estimated that I will not escape the name of tyranny after my death, and if it is a few hundred years later, I will be called the same as the Fierce!"

"Your Majesty is worry-free, Taishi Ling will write impartially, and will never let those people act recklessly!" Wang Zong said solemnly.

Wang Che waved his hand and said absentmindedly: "They really didn't dare when Da Qian was here, and when Da Qian's Mandate of Heaven ended, they would definitely say it, and when the Taishi lineage might not be able to control the right to repair history." ”

"But I don't care!"

"Your Majesty is kind! These beam-jumping clowns are nothing to fear. Wang Yun said respectfully.

"Speaking of which, the land annexation here in the capital is not serious." Wang Zong said.

Wang Che and Wang Yun looked at Wang Zong one after another, and Wang Zong immediately said: "Your Majesty, Luoyang is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and my Wang family mostly lives here. ”

"The noble officials of the DPRK and China did not dare to annex the land at all."

"Once those people make a fuss and go to the city to complain, or spread it in the capital, Your Majesty will soon know, and there will be no good fruit for them to eat at that time!"

"The younger brother has explored various places over the years, and there are still five capitals in the capital, and these nobles, officials, and heroes have already had a tacit understanding and deliberately avoided here."

"I see!" Wang Che nodded.

"But after dozens of miles out of the city, the land annexation is very serious!" Wang Zong continued: "The land in the capital is much more expensive than in other places. ”

"The land around Luoyang, the capital of God, has basically been indivisible since Emperor Wen, and then the people continue to give birth, and the court does not divide the land, so it can only be divided by the father, and after two or three generations, the people almost only have a few acres of land."

"How do you live in the capital with a few acres of land? If you encounter some weddings, funerals, or the like, you have to sell your land, and those nobles and officials can easily complete the land annexation without any tricks, and even the people have to thank them."

Wang Zong said with a sigh.

This is the most incomprehensible, these nobles, heroes, and officials did not annex land in violation of regulations, but offered a price slightly higher than the market price, and did not force them to take advantage of it, on the contrary, those people were willing to sell.

If the court indiscriminately took back these fields and distributed them to the people. First, this is not in line with the law of the country, and the great cadres rule the country by law, if the emperor wantonly tramples on the law, then what dignity does this law have? Second, in a few years, many people will go bankrupt for various reasons, and then they will need to sell their land.

But because of the previous conviction of the last time the imperial court harvested the land, it is estimated that there will be no nobles, heroes, and official families to take over the purchase. At that time, those people were in a hurry to use money but couldn't sell their fields, and the court would do bad things with good intentions.

Wang Zong and Wang Che wanted to clean up the big families of noble and powerful officials, but over the years, it has become more and more difficult to deal with. But you can't do it without it.

Within two days, the inspection of the imperial history appointed by Wang Che was written, and Zhang Cheng was not strict in discipline, connived at his relatives to disturb the local justice, and secretly hid acres of land, and was revoked from his official position.

The internal minister Wang Zong personally interrogated, the evidence was conclusive, and there were no false accusations. So the edict ordered the Zhang family to confiscate the acres of land, and then exiled them to the Western Regions, Liaodong, and Ryukyu respectively. The Zhang family line was also moved to Hehuang. When there was Prime Minister Zhang Liang and the imperial concubine, the once prosperous Zhang family disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, it is the Zhao family, the Cao family, the Chen family and the Han family, if the responsibility for the crime is too great, then directly killed, and the rest are all moved to the border, if the responsibility for the crime is not big, then split up and exile, for a time in Luoyang City, Xungui was terrified, after all, if the court wants to clean them up, there is always a way.

It's really not good, taking advantage of their banquet, forcibly summoning the royal front, and then dismissing the king for his dereliction of honor and untidy clothes. Wang Zong doesn't believe that you, a nobleman, don't drink alcohol, don't hold banquets, if you can really endure it, then change another crime, what kind of arsonism in the city, extravagant life, indecent behavior, etc., there are too many ways.

The Confucian "Book of Rites" is a random choice, and there is always one that suits you.
