(PS:) solemnly apologizes: Last night's mistake, I mispassed the chapter of another new book I had just started preparing, and the remedy plan currently prepared is that the chapter you see now directly merges chapter 523 and chapter 524, and then synchronizes it to the platform, and then modifies it after confirming that readers see this chapter, and divides this chapter into two, the original 523 chapter covers the 523 chapter that was wrong in front of it (this is to prevent some readers from not seeing the 523 chapters due to the inability to modify it in the future), and then delete this paragraph PS. In any case, this is an unforgivable mistake, and it is inevitable that readers will be disappointed to delete the book or raise the book, and they will not even see this chapter, which is equivalent to making them read a halfway story. I'm very sorry, but be sure to pay attention in the future.

The brother and sister looked at the lively Gongsun Rong and were stunned.

Zhuo Mingfeng saw the reaction of the brother and sister, but he didn't say a word and fell into deep thought.

At the scene of the reunion, there was a strange dead silence.

Jian Wuwu's face was also extremely ugly, and he was even a little overwhelmed.

After a long time, Gongsun Ningyu broke the silence, first dismissed the people around him, and then asked Gongsun Yue.

"Third sister! Mother said that you are pregnant with the flesh and blood of the martial king? You should be married, right? ”

Between the words, Gongsun Ningyu showed regret on her face, in her opinion, marrying Liang Xiao did not insult the third sister, but why didn't she notify them in advance.

Morning sickness, which took at least a little more than a month to see, meant that they had ...... a month before

Gongsun Yue was almost petrified in place, and when she heard the second sister's inquiry, she came back to her senses, stared at Gongsun Rong and Gongsun Xunfeng, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, father, you, you are lying to me??" ”

Hearing this, the smart Gongsun Ningyu and her husband Zhuo Mingfeng glanced at each other, instantly comprehended, and guessed the cause and effect.

Gongsun Ningyu looked stunned, and was at a loss like his mother.

The surprise in Zhuo Mingfeng's eyes flashed away, and he still didn't say a word.

"Isn't this grandpa missing you!"

Without waiting for Gongsun Rong to answer, Gongsun Xunfeng stroked his beard and laughed, and said in an irresistible tone: "If you have anything to say, go in and talk about it!" ”

Gongsun Yue followed everyone into the Taishou Mansion like a walking corpse, and halfway through, he came back to his senses and pulled Gongsun Wuji's sleeve beside him, with a pleading look on his face.

Gongsun Wuji's expression was complicated at this time, but he just nodded to her, still not saying a word.

Gongsun Yue is full of sorrow, but the matter has come to this point, and people are also home, and they are powerless to change.

After everyone sat down, Gongsun Ningyu sat down next to Gongsun Yue, grabbed her hand, and looked nervous.

Gongsun Yue asked tentatively in a consultative tone: "Since Dad is fine, can the child go back to reunite with him earlier......

Gongsun Rong did not answer.

Gongsun Xunfeng said: "Xiaoyue, the capital and Yanzhou are far away, you are pregnant, it may take twice as long to go back, and it will be bumpy in the middle, which is not good for the child." ”

Gongsun Yue said weakly: "After the child is born, can I take the child back......

"It's still very early, let's raise the fetus first!"

Gongsun Xunfeng's almost ruthless response finally made Gongsun Yue break down emotionally, hiding her face and crying.

Those present are obviously the elders who love them so much in the past......

She could already imagine that it was impossible for her to leave Bashu on her own.

Pleading and showing weakness are meaningless, once grandpa makes a decision, even the sword clan patriarch and Liang Xiao's master can't change it.

The capital is far away, and the two sides send letters back and forth, but I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it within a few years.

"You're tired of traveling, Xiaorong, don't worry, you take good care of Xiaoyue, just raise a baby in Hanzhong, don't run around! This is the Great Zhou Wu King, the child of the future Great Zhou Emperor! Got it? ”

Gongsun Xunfeng bit the two names and the word "child" very hard.

The couple met their father-in-law's stern gaze and agreed repeatedly, but how dare they go to see Gongsun Yue.

"Grandpa!"

Gongsun Ningyu was a little anxious, but was held down by her husband Zhuo Mingfeng, who just shook his head at her and took her away from the scene.

In the courtyard, Gongsun Yue, who was taking a bath, looked at the night sky in a daze, and her heart was like ashes.

"Third sister?"

Hearing Gongsun Wuji's call, Gongsun Yue turned her head to look.

Gongsun Wuji walked over with a serious expression.

"Big brother, why don't you help me say a few words......" Gongsun Yue said mournfully.

Gongsun Wuji whispered: "If the eldest brother helps you say a few words, I'm afraid it is even more impossible for you to go back!" ”

Gongsun Yue was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly suddenly.

Not without reason.

He is the eldest son of the Gongsun family, the future head of the family, if Gongsun Xunfeng knows that his elbow is turned out, I am afraid that her idea of house arrest will be even more firm.

After hesitating for a moment, Gongsun Yue hesitated and said, "If I kill the child, won't it drag him down?" ”

Gongsun Wuji said nervously: "You may die!" If he knew, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life because of this matter, and there would be no room for maneuver between the Sword Clan and him! ”

Gongsun Yue was speechless.

Abortion, how can it be so easy, and the risk of death is immeasurable......

"The eldest brother and your second sister will protect you, don't worry, you will definitely be able to reunite! Even if you don't believe in Big Brother, you have to believe in your Brother Liang Xiao! ”

Gongsun Yue's godless eyes then glowed.

In her life, she has never wanted to leave Bashu so much.

She seems to be able to understand Jiang Fuxue, it turns out that she is not as good as when her little sister was eight years old!

In the hall, Gongsun Rong and his wife, Zhuo Mingfeng sat on both sides, and Gongsun Xunfeng on the main seat was drinking tea.

Gongsun Rong and his wife looked depressed, sat aside, and remained silent.

"Mingfeng, the plan is already half successful, the next step, when the child is successfully born, will publicize this matter, and force Liang Xiao to come to Bashu with moral pressure, is it feasible?"

Gongsun Rong and his wife's faces changed.

"Daddy (father-in-law) ......"

Zhuo Mingfeng sighed: "I'm afraid it will backfire." ”

"How?" Gongsun Xunfeng frowned.

"He has such popularity before he reaches the weak crown, but I am afraid that after this matter spreads, he will be anti-guest and use moral pressure to force Bashu to return the child......"

Gongsun Xunfeng's eyes were full of unwillingness and annoyance.

Jian Wuwu reminded: "Father-in-law, if our sword clan has the idea that the fish will die or the oil and salt will not enter, I am afraid that he will be completely angered in the end." Even if he cares that we are Xiaoyue's elders, others are only afraid of ......"

"You don't know who he tudied! Didn't you all say that he values love and righteousness? Gongsun Xunfeng gritted his teeth and said.

The sword is worry-free.

"The mother-in-law's words are not unreasonable, let's first see if the child can be born smoothly, and then see how the court reacts, and the pregnancy can't be hidden from him. Within a few months, the imperial court would surely send his official documents, or the empress's decree. Zhuo Mingfeng sighed.

Gongsun Xunfeng said in a deep voice: "Even if you can't, at least let him compromise with us and accept some of our conditions, otherwise let the child stay in Bashu for the rest of his life!" From today on, the Bashu Governance Office will be changed to Hanzhong, and the Generalissimo Bashu will personally sit in charge! Then report this truthfully to the elders of the clan! ”

Hearing this, the couple didn't dare to come out.

Zhuo Mingfeng just nodded slightly, and did not object.

In the early morning of the next day, the wedding banquet of the ministers was over, and the imperial palace of the capital held a court meeting as scheduled.

Hundreds of civil and military officials offered congratulatory messages to Liang Xiao and Duan Yunyi, and even the three major families and their henchmen did not dare to make an exception.

"I have been newly married to the emperor, so I should concentrate on military affairs. Now that Beihu has been extinguished and the northern border is stable, we should pay attention to the well-being of the people. ”

"For this reason, I discussed with the emperor overnight......"

When Duan Yunyi said this, he couldn't help but pause, his pretty face was slightly red for a moment, and he quickly recovered as before.

"The emperor should implement several policies for the benefit of the people."

Duanmujie and the others swallowed with difficulty, as if waiting for the verdict to be announced.

"Article 1, strengthen the management of the national green building, and strictly prohibit forcing good people into prostitution,"

After the first policy was announced, the ministers just shouted "My Emperor Shengming" and "The Emperor is Wise".

After Liang Xiao finished reading, he observed the words and found that the ministers did not have any violent reaction, but it was clear.

According to Xuanwei's investigation, many of the behind-the-scenes bosses of Qinglou are from the three major families, and this matter has also been further confirmed by Tuoba Lie.

These Qinglou, which belong to the family, can often act as secret agencies, provide all kinds of information, and support various behind-the-scenes activities, which is extremely detrimental to the stability of the country.

The rhetoric of strengthening management is ambiguous, and there is a lot of room for concrete implementation.

Of course, it is unrealistic to ban the Qinglou all at once, even if it is banned, there will be secret prostitution, and it is difficult for Qinglou women across the country to get a reasonable placement in the short term, so it is better to try to strengthen management first, and give priority to suppressing the Qinglou of the family.

The so-called "Qinglou women do not sell their bodies" is almost all a simple fantasy of modern people, completely ignoring its dark nature.

In the new era of high development, there are still countless women who cannot guarantee their legitimacy and freedom, let alone in the feudal era when men were inferior to women.

A bloody history of red faces and thin lives, and occasionally a few stories of the wind and moon with bright surfaces as a fig leaf.

Even the so-called "Qingqi people" are essentially just left to more powerful and wealthy dignitaries to sell for a good price or squeeze some value before receiving customers.

There are very few Qinglou women who can really be good for themselves and die well.

According to the information collected by Xuanwei on the Qinglou in various places, those Qinglou of the family were the most luxurious, but the phenomenon of forcing good people to become prostitutes and gathering crowds to incite was the most serious.

The more unstable the country is, the more beneficial it is to these ill-intentioned families, because the emperor needs to expend more energy and money on these things, unless one day the emperor becomes his puppet and the country becomes his pocket.

All things considered, it is necessary to prohibit as much as possible the situation of forcing good people to become prostitutes, which is often accompanied by criminal violence and crime.

Liang Xiao keenly caught that Duanmujie and the others were unmoved, and there was even a little bit of sarcasm in their eyes.

After confirming that the ministers had no objection, Liang Xiao was relieved to announce the second article.

"The poll tax is a big burden on the people, and in order to evade taxes, a large number of people are willing to become black households and hidden households, which is extremely unfavorable to the management of the imperial court and buries hidden dangers for the country. The powerful in various places can also use this to support domestic slaves and threaten local stability. The three generations of kings of our dynasty have been dreaming of this matter. ”

The ministers of the family, who were still bent on greeting, finally became vigilant.

As a family that has been operating since the Wu Dynasty, many of their house slaves are real hermits.

These hermits bring them many, too many benefits.

Intuition told them that the policy that Duan Yunyi was going to implement next would definitely not be conducive to them.

"However, the poll tax is one of the major fiscal issues, and a rash ban on it is not conducive to increasing the revenue of the national treasury to improve people's livelihood." Duan Yunyi sighed.

"What the emperor said is extremely true! It would be nice to change the poll tax slightly, and the law of the ancestors is immutable! ”

Duanmujie, Ram Yun and others wiped the cold sweat that broke out on their foreheads at some point, and greeted each other with smiles.

"What you say is very true."

After Liang Xiao's symbolic praise, he smiled.

"Therefore, cancel the poll tax across the country, spread the poll tax into the field, improve the past field tax, combine the poll tax, and levy a certain proportion of the tax per mu of farmland, the so-called 'apportionment into the mu'! What do you think? ”

"Spread into acres?!"

More than half of the ministers were shocked.

After a while, Duanmu Jie took the lead in the ranks, and his voice was fierce.

"Your Majesty! This move will definitely offend the landlords and gentry of the whole country, and hurt the country's capital, so you must not mess around!! ”

Liang Xiao and Duan Yunyi looked at each other at the same time.

"Duanmu Shangshu is talking about it, how can it hurt the country's law?" Duan Yunyi said coldly.

"This is to divide all the pressure of the people's poll tax evenly and transfer it to the landlords and gentry who have mastered a lot of land! Once the landlords and gentry all over the country are dissatisfied, once they rise up one after another, I am afraid that the society is in danger of exhaustion, and the living beings are in urgent need of being overhanged!! ”

Duanmujie suddenly burst into tears, as if he was worried about the country and the people, and painfully reported his malpractices.

The generals who participated in the court meeting, Chang Polang, Wang Pojun and others frowned thoughtfully.

Duanmujie's words sound a little reasonable.

Pity...... Liang Xiao had already informed them, the Guanlong landlords.

Higashino Hongji cast a mocking glance at Duanmu Festival.

The Higashino clan also has a lot of Yanzhou farmland under its name, and they need to pay more land taxes than before, but this amount of money is insignificant compared to the benefits gained by supporting the imperial power today.

The benefits of family influence brought by his Hubu Shangshu alone are immeasurable.

Otherwise, why did Duanmu Cao plead with a handful of snot and tears to stay as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but now he is already the "former secretary of the Ministry of Rites".

His brother Dongye Xuanji is about to be tried by the imperial court as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and when the time comes, Duanmu Cao's brother Duanmu Festival, this official department Shangshu will still be seen, and Dongye Hongji feels quite funny when he thinks of that scene.

"Your Majesty think twice! The emperor's policy really made the ministers disagree, it was simply a policy to destroy the country!! ”

This time, Ram Yun and Nangong Lei, who had already become envoys, also fiercely opposed.

They also have a lot of farmland in their hands.

Liang Xiao stared at Duanmujie and the others, and said with a smile: "This king has millions of acres of Yanzhou in his hands, so why not take the lead in paying taxes?" ”

"Now that the emperor and His Majesty have tied the knot, he should naturally take the lead, but he really dare not agree with taking the lead in destroying the country!" Duanmujie responded sharply, this time the core interests were violated, and they could no longer bear it.

Liang Xiao smiled and said, "What is the strategy for the country?" This king asks you, in this world, are there more landlords and more powerful people, or are there more ordinary people who have less land and no land? ”

Duanmujie was stunned for a moment, looked directly at Liang Xiao's gaze, and trembled inexplicably.

He saw the killing intent in Liang Xiao's eyes, as if it was not them who were offended by their core interests, but him, the emperor.

"The vast majority of the people in the country have little or no land, and the spread of the land into the mu will naturally be happy for the whole country, but it can reassure the people and destroy the foundation of these landlords' rebellion in one fell swoop. The people finally lived a better life than before because they paid less taxes, if these people dared to rebel, in the face of the army and the people, what would be the consequences? ”

Liang Xiao's cold questioning made Duanmujie and the others sweat.

"Wonderful! The emperor is wise! ”

Zhuge Hui symbolically praised, pretending that he had not been exposed to this strategy, and Yang Ling and others followed.

"Your Majesty think twice! This is the new deal, how can it be so easy to ......"

Duanmu Cao was about to continue arguing, but was stopped by the ram cloud.

"Don't panic, we're tax-free!"

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Duanmu Festival broke into laughter, and everyone followed the mountain to call Shengming.

Liang Xiao saw it in his eyes, first stunned, and then announced it in public.

"It is beneficial to the country to implement the apportionment of the land into the mu, but there are still a large number of officials and people in the country who enjoy tax-free privileges, which greatly hinders the increase of the treasury income. Therefore, with immediate effect, the privilege of tax exemption for officials and persons at all levels should also be abolished. ”

The third policy, like thunder on the ground, is deafening.

In an instant, the ministers of the family present were all burned!

Before Liang Xiao's rise, almost all of the imperial examinations were occupied by the four great families, and most of the lifters and jinshi were from the four great families......
