Chapter Eighty-Four: Datang is like a crumbling house
"But this year's harvest is not very good, and the family has no way to live. As soon as his mother-in-law discussed with him, she planned to sell her eldest daughter first, and when she got the money, she would pay the tenant rent first, as well as the taxes of the imperial court, so she would find me? I also see that his family is pitiful, and it just so happens that Cheng's father-in-law wants a pair of food, doesn't this match him up? ”
When Ren Yazi said this, he patted his chest aggrievedly.
"But we have to say in good conscience, this nobleman, you have also seen my dealings with him, but I can say whatever I have, and I do not hide it...... Yes, I admit it, this man's teeth are lacking in morality, but we haven't fallen into the ground, have we? ”
"If I hadn't matched him, where would he have found such a good buyer? With just his two strokes, he can also exchange ten catties of grain, which is a lot. When a country man marries a daughter, the ceremony is two catties of millet! Ten times the money? Beautiful him! ”
"Hmm." Li Shimin didn't say anything, took out the paper walnuts that Li Qing gave him, and stuffed them into Yuan Nu's mouth.
Yuan Nu's big mouth pressed a little, clicked, and bit the walnut open, and his tongue flexibly sucked the walnut kernel away.
"Your nobleman, this bird, is really handsome!" Ren Yazi looked at the bird and praised it enviously, "You sit down for a while, the villain still has something to do, so I won't accompany you first." ”
"Go ahead." Li Shimin waved his hand and continued to tease Yuan Nu.
Not long after, a greasy-haired and powder-faced gentleman walked in from outside, and when he saw the bird in Li Shimin's hand, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he came up and stood aside in amazement, and his eyes were about to fall to Yuan Nu.
"Brother, please." The greeting was like this, but his eyes kept glued to Yuan Nu's body, "I don't know if Brother Tai can cut his love, and he is also a bird lover." ”
Li Shimin didn't even look at him, stretched out his hand to ruarua Yuannu's head, and said coldly: "Don't sell it." ”
"Brother Tai, I am also a bird lover, I really love this handsome bird, in this way, I will go out of two thousand!" He slapped the table, startling the Yuan slave, flapping his wings and making a quacking sound.
The wind blowing his wings tossed his hair messy, and instead of hating it, he liked it more.
"Brother Tai, I'll go out of 5,000!"
"Noise." Li Shimin snorted coldly.
"You ......"
Halfway through his words, he felt his feet flutter off the ground.
"You didn't understand my master's words?" Wei Chigong glared and asked viciously.
The heartbeat of the gentleman missed half a beat, and one didn't clamp his pants tightly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Wei Chigong saw that he was urinating, and threw him aside in disgust.
"Bag."
"Alas......" Someone at the table next to him sighed, and said with envy or sigh: "If you want me to say, this person is not as good as a bird!" ”
When Lao Li heard this, he lost his interest in teasing the birds, and happily handed the Yuan slave into Li Mingda's arms.
Yuan Nu was in Li Mingda's arms, rubbing her little face with her hairy head. The little one was holding a parrot that was almost as big as her, and it felt as if she was holding the whole world.
Although it was not the Tang Dynasty under his rule, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw such a mournful people.
Since becoming friends with his brother, he has found that he cares more and more about how the people are doing.
Of course, it may also be because the virtuous brother showed him the five-volume dragon slaying compendium that made him practice his divine skills.
"In the prosperous era, the people actually sold their daughters!" Li Shimin stretched out his hand and slapped the table, and said angrily: "How did he, Li Longji, become the emperor!" Actually deceived to the point of being deceived? ”
The gentleman, who had just been scared by Wei Chigong, didn't tremble when he heard Li Shimin's words, got up and sneaked away.
"Ouch, my second brother ......" Li Bai hurriedly grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve, "There are a lot of people here, you should be careful when you speak, Your Majesty's name is also what you can call ......"
"Why, he can do it, and he still doesn't let people say it?" Li Shimin said hatefully, "If he connived at his relatives, he said that uncle's relatives." Relying on his power, the fish and meat township is the party to the disaster, such a tumor, and it is also worthy of stealing a high position? I think he's really old and relaxed! ”
"To put it mildly, the imperial power is not under the county, Brother Li." Li Qing hugged his arms, "Even if it is Zhenguan Dynasty, then Li Er may not be able to know how many similar vicious incidents have occurred under the rule of a specific county." ”
Li Shimin was choked by a sentence.
"I heard that Chi Jingde, the Duke of Hubei, is also good at annexing acres of land, but I don't know if there is a similar forced buying and selling." When Li Qing said this, he glanced at Wei Chigong meaningfully.
Wei Chigong looked to the side embarrassedly, as the richest man in Chang'an, he really likes to buy fields, but everything is left to the next person to do, who knows if this kind of thing will happen?
If you want to say that you just heard about selling women, then you probably don't think there's anything. But this happened in front of him, and a general like Rao is Wei Chigong, who is used to seeing life and death, will feel too miserable.
"With the annexation of land, more and more peasants are desperate because of the loss of land," Li Qing stretched out his hand to draw a circle in the air: "In the end, the peasant uprising broke out, or the careerists clamoured to rebel, the war swept the country, the rich households who originally occupied the acres of land fled or were killed on a large scale, and their acres were re-granted to the peasants, and then the land was annexed, the peasants revolted, and this cycle became the law of cycles." ”
"Some dynasties were lucky enough to hold out in the midst of the uprising; Some dynasties were more unlucky and did not survive the uprising. Li Qing couldn't help but smile when he said this, "But without exception, there will be a large number of ownerless fields." ”
"I understand," Du Fu quickly realized the problem, "Xiao Qing means to suppress land annexation?" ”
"Exactly." Li Qing nodded and said, "There is another way, and that is to develop productive forces." ”
"Development of productive forces?" Of course, Du Fu would not understand this meaning.
"I'll talk to you in detail when I go back," Li Qing glanced at Lao Li, who was still thinking deeply, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Li, what do you want?" ”
"In the Jingzhao region, such evil things have happened, I really can't imagine what it will be like in other regions!" Li Shimin hammered the table hatefully.
"Maybe this Datang is a bright surface, but a crumbling house, as long as someone kicks it......"
When Li Qing said this, Li Bai immediately took over the conversation.
"Will it collapse?"
"No, there will be a group of angry men who will rush out and beat you up." Li Qing said in a strange voice.
Just then, a voice came from outside.
"This is it! It's they, just slandering Your Majesty! ”
