Sheep used to be so obedient and satisfied with a little food, but now they have become very greedy and arrogant, and even want to eat people.

The approach of the nobles did not exceed Zishou's estimates, and at first, there was still some restraint.

They simply sent a representative petition requesting the lease of public land owned by the imperial court.

The child naturally disagreed.

The public land of the imperial court is reserved for the common people to serve in the military, and military service is also a stable source of mediocrity, how can the nobles be harmed.

However, the public land retained by the imperial court cannot be rented, but the public land released to the people can.

Originally, the land was state-owned, and the people only had the right to use the land but not the ownership, and the annual land tax was equivalent to rent.

After the people rented the land to the nobles, the nobles had to pay not only the annual land tax, but also enough rent to satisfy the people.

In the eyes of the aristocracy, this is naturally excellent.

Rather than directly lease the land governed by the imperial court, they were more willing to make a second lease from the people.

Whether it is easy to deal with the officials or the peasants, they know very well.

Moreover, once the leased fields are in the private sector, they can exert their power.

They are aristocrats, and if they want to lease land, how dare the peasants refuse? Even if they can't come openly, there are still a thousand ways to deal with the foolish people secretly.

When the time comes, it's easy to make a little move.

Does the King care about this?

may care, but they are in the dark, the court officials are in the open, and it is difficult to investigate, does the king dare to kill all the nobles involved?

That will inevitably shake the country's foundation!

Zishou naturally counted this point.

But isn't that what he's waiting for?

The aristocracy and the common people are two classes with conflicting interests, and the things that the aristocracy does make the peasants dissatisfied, and they can only make mediocre money by protecting the peasants and moving the aristocracy.

This is where his self-confidence lies, and in the systematic calculation, the weight of the nobles and the common people is not the same, offending a nobleman earns dozens of hundreds of ordinary people.

There is no doubt that stopping the aristocratic sheep from eating people and taking the opportunity to serve them in a pot can earn a lot of mediocrity, and as for the people who have a negative impact, they basically can't make any waves.

Maybe there will be some foolish people who can't see the evil consequences of the nobles leasing the land and taking the cultivated land to raise sheep, and even the nobles don't understand what the nobles do in the lease, and they turn around and beat a rake, thinking that the court is blocking their financial routes, after all, if the land is leased, they can make money lying down every day!

However, this is all for later, before everything began, the nobles still thought that they were still in the honeymoon period with the king of Zhou, and the hand of the king of Zhou was regarded as acquiescing to their occupation of the people's land.

Come to think of it, at the beginning of the year, the imperial court violently collected a large number of nobles' private land and changed it into state-owned land, and those lands should have been their own!

You Hun, who met with Zishou and the representatives of the nobles, smiled and groaned: "Congratulations, Your Majesty is so gracious that you are allowed to enclose the land and shepherd the sheep, and you are not grateful?"

The representatives of the nobles hurriedly saluted and thanked them, but they felt a little embarrassed in their hearts.

It seems that when the king received the private land of the nobles, he was waiting for today, using the land that originally belonged to the nobles to give the interests of the nobles, at first glance, it was indeed a great favor, but in fact, the left hand went in and the right hand went out, and nothing was given.

This made them slander a lot, and the king of Xuan actually slammed the door to such a point, wanting to ease the relationship with the nobles, but he refused to pay!

But on the surface, they don't show anything, it's a big deal to occupy more land and earn it back.

Zishou looked calm and relaxed: "This woolen clothing workshop, I naturally want to vigorously support it, I have made many convenient policies last year, and this year is even worse, so if there is any excess goods, the court will accept them all, and I can't let you discount the capital." ”

When the aristocratic representatives heard this, their hearts were.

What about the excess goods?

Where is the superfluous?

What is the purpose of enclosing land to expand production? Isn't it because supply exceeds demand?

At this time, Zishou said: "I will issue an edict to help, especially those fields suitable for grazing, this woolen coat is really the most important, if there is no such clothing to keep out the cold, how can the people survive the cold winter, how can the soldiers fight in winter?"

"Nature...... You are indispensable for your help, and now that there is a difficulty, I want to help you, but fortunately, this leased land is not complicated, and it will not be a big problem if you think about it, you can be safe and sound, it is the best. ”

Zi Shou's face showed a gentle color, he just wanted to fool in place, and after all, once the nobles began to move the land, then the knife.

What, you're on the right track? Haven't started robbing yet?

Then I can make it up!

If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse? Hundreds of officials of the Criminal Department are eager to try!

Zishou couldn't help but smile faintly.

This smile was placed in the eyes of the aristocratic representatives, but it had a lot of flavor.

How could the king have treated the nobles so gently? It seems that this time it was really reconciled.

Many people already have a number in their hearts, maybe the king of the Xuan is planning to start a war with Xiqi, it is said that the firearms found from Kunlun City are extremely powerful blades, at the beginning Chiyou was through firearms and the Yellow Emperor fought on par, the king of Xuan this time is confident.

If you fight one side, you will naturally have to fight with one side, and the king must want to win over these nobles to ensure internal stability, and then attack foreign enemies.

So one of the aristocratic representatives arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, benevolent and righteous, and we are grateful to Your Majesty." ”

Zishou smiled and said, "Aren't you also my subjects? How can I treat them lightly? What's more, this is also for the thousand-year-old foundation of my great business." ”

"You Hun. ”

"The minister is here. ”

"Take out the earthen book. ”

This land register is the register of registered land, and last year, when the private land of the nobles was confiscated, a large inventory was conducted.

You Hun instructed a few words to the people of a temple, and the people of the temple understood, and after a short time, they came with a large pile of booklets.

Zishou casually flipped out a stack of earthen books, opened them, and the inside was densely packed.

Zishou took it in his hand, opened it, and said slowly: "I see, this is the field of the rope pond, close to the water source, not bad, suitable for shepherding." ”

One of the aristocratic representatives had sharp eyes, saw the specific location of this field, and fixed his eyes, grass, a year ago this land was still his own!

"Look at it again, this is the mouth of the river, it's not good, it's too hot, and the sheep have to die of heat. ”

"This is near the salt pond in the east of the river, and it can't be done...."

"This is the ..... of the North Sea"

"Forget it, see for yourselves. Zishou waved his hand and said: "It is much more convenient for you to lease land according to this land book, do you have anything else to say?"

The expressions of the aristocratic representatives were a little complicated, but after thinking about it, the king had done enough, and after looking at the earthen book for a while, he said, "No...... No, Your Majesty Shengming......"

Zishou's face darkened, what about St. Minima?

But he said it again and again:

"Remember, you are also my subjects, and leasing land is a trivial matter, so you don't have to worry about it, just let it go. ”

A cadre of aristocratic representatives retired one after another, what kind of beautiful words do they say? Don't they dare to offend us again?!

Many people were smiling when they left the palace hall.

Even smug, look, the king still has to rely on us!

This world, after all, is the world of the nobility, the king has done so much before, and now he has to compromise differently?

............

At this time, Zishou returned to Shouxian Palace comfortably.

It is impossible for Wu Geng to be raised well, and it was handed over to Yin Jiao and Yin Hongxing in Shanglin Yuan, although these two brothers have gone to the right path, they are just children, and they can't teach Wu Geng well.

Moreover, there are many people in Shanglin Yuan Palace, so that Wu Geng has been getting along with these people who are full of bad habits and etiquette since he was a child, and when he grows up, he at least has a disadvantage of not knowing etiquette.

Daji is skinning a raccoon dog for her son.

This is a lychee from Lingnan, which was sent by Wen Zhong of the Southern Expedition when he reported the military situation.

Fresh and juicy, crystal clear, elegant texture, thin and flat shell, clear aroma, thick and bright, excellent flavor, very strange shape, taste special sweet, membrane such as purple silk.

If you compare Lychee to a beauty, then the eldest lady with skin like condensed fat, not only.... It is delicious and good-looking, but it has a big temper and a weak physique, and it is easy to deteriorate if you don't pay attention to it.

The deterioration of the lychee is indeed the same as the temper of the eldest lady, which is a big problem, but fortunately, it is Wen Zhong's mount Mo Qilin who transports the lychee to the military, and it must have changed its flavor when it was sent to an ordinary horse.

Daji's jade finger stretched out and sent a round lychee, Zishou took it together with his fingers, and spit out the lychee core in Daji's coquettishness.

Kangxi can't shoot 300 rabbits a day, but he can try 300 lychees a day.

Lichee.... It's really a good thing, if you eat too much, the taste is secondary, mainly because the flag is strong and there is a lot of black history.

Not only the famous Tang Xuanzong Yang Guifei rode the red dust concubine smile, but also Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Fuli Palace in Shanglin Yuan for the sake of lychees, and transplanted lychee trees in a large area, but the lychee is a southern crop and cannot survive in Chang'an, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty persevered and insisted on successful transplanting, and finally thousands of lychee trees survived and could not bloom and bear fruit.

What's even more tragic is that the lone seedling died after the cold weather in winter.

After that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and in a fit of anger, he executed dozens of guards guarding the garden, gave up transplanting lychees, and ordered the messengers of the post station to be exhausted and pass back and forth.

This was the beginning of the tragedy of the tributary lychee, and it was not until the time of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty that it was proposed that the poster died of exhaustion and then canceled the tribute.

Thinking of the various flags of lychees, and seeing Daji's big tail shaking unconsciously, Zi was moved by his index finger.

"I came in person and peeled a few grains for my concubine. ”

"Your Majesty...."

are all concubines serving the emperor, how can there be a reason for the emperor to peel lychees for his concubines?

Zishou didn't care, so he peeled the lychee and stuffed it into Daji's mouth.

Daji spat out the nucleus, and his expression seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the coercive behavior of the king just now.

Zishou just smiled and peeled the second lychee.

Daji thought about it, didn't sit still, but warmed up the wine, and said, "Your Majesty, Dr. Qian said that lychee has the effect of strengthening the liver and pancreas, and it is effective in enhancing sperm... Energy, blood has excellent effect, but too much can be eaten is easy to be vigorous, the concubine has brewed some penny wine, can go to the fire, the concubine will warm it, Your Majesty can taste it. ”

Zi Shou bowed his head, and stuffed the peeled lychee into Daji's mouth, and said happily: "It's still Concubine Ai who is thoughtful, but for the time being, there is no need to bother." ”

The two ate and chatted.

"O concubine, these nobles will forcibly enclose land and seize it when they see that shepherding sheep is profitable, if I stop it, will they... Plotting against each other?"

Zishou decided to find Daji's staff officer, after all, this matter has always been calculated by himself, what if something goes wrong again?

"Your Majesty......" Daji pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines think that they should not dare. ”

Don't dare?

Listening to Daji's speculation, Zi couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

If they dare to do so, they will raid all their homes on the grounds that they may rebel before they rebel, and they will not be stopped by the ministers in the process of eating people and grabbing land.

Then he asked, "Then how can we get them to turn back?"

Daji shook his head again and again: "These nobles are survivors after two rebellions, all of them are shrewd, and they will not act rashly to keep their tongues, as long as Your Majesty is there for a day, they will not rebel for a day, at most they are just indignant and scolding for a sentence or two." ”

That's it....

Fortunately, it's not bad to scold.

Zishou ate two more lychees, looked at Daji solemnly, and said, "Come, I will ask you some truth." ”

Daji's face also became solemn, the king of the Xuan Dynasty is like this, there must be something terrible.

"Last year, during the Qishui Punishment, I encountered a woman who assassinated, that woman seemed to be a snake demon, can the concubine know her identity?"

"I don't know. Daji shook her head, there are more snake demons in the world, how can she know them.

But the concubine knew the reason for her assassination. ”

Zishou suddenly became interested, he must be dissatisfied with his own king, where is he dissatisfied, expand and go deeper, wouldn't it be good?!

"Concubine Ai said come and listen to me. ”

Daji sighed, "It's hunting. ”

"Hunting?" Zishou was puzzled in his heart, hunting had been a few years ago, Yang Jian had participated in it at that time, and now the hunting team is afraid that it is a monster hunter per capita.

The three brothers in charge of hunting should be Ding Ce, Guo Chen, and Dong Zhong, these three people are honest, have no merit and will not make mistakes, whether they are promoted to Beihai or deposed to Beihai, they are not suitable.

I haven't helped much with the growth of mediocrity, and I've given myself a knife.

I didn't expect to leave it alone, and there was such an unintentional joy!

Daji explained: "Among the demon clans, there are two categories, one is like Yuan Hong and others, who do not regard animals that have not opened their minds as the same kind, and the other is to treat the same kind of animals as the same kind and get along day and night. ”

"Hunting is the law of the jungle, and it is a rule that the demon clan also recognizes, which is okay, but hunting also allows people to enter the deep mountains and old forests, drives away the beasts, and makes the habitat of the animals much less, so it is inevitable that the second type of demon clan will come to the door. ”

"I heard that the snake catchers in the Chaoge hunting team are especially good at catching snakes, and they have to catch thousands of snakes a year, and there is also a teaching that in the past few years, it is estimated that the habitat of beasts has decreased a lot, and it is not surprising that there are demon clans coming to the door. ”

"But Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, there are only a few demon clans like that snake demon. ”

A few? A few have to fight for it!

The hunting party needs to pay a little attention.

Daji frowned slightly, the king is indeed a good monarch, and even cares about his own safety many times.

After knowing that the assassination was caused by hunting, not only did he not dismantle the hunting team, but avoided talking about it, obviously planning to continue to do it, even if there were demon clans to assassinate him, he would not hesitate to do it.

Daji thought about it, but still reminded: "Your Majesty...... It is not an exaggeration to say that these demon clans are chaotic ministers and thieves, and if you think about it, they have a conflict of interest because their habitat is decreasing day by day. ”

"For the sake of His Majesty's safety, the concubine thinks that it is better to be cautious and find a day to discuss with the demon clan. ”

After all, Nuwa Niangniang has a demon flag, and she said that she wants to ensure the safety of the king for 28 years, which is not a big problem.

Daji paused, and then said: "Your Majesty asked the concubine this time, and he must have hoped to continue the previous friendship between the demons, although it has been a year, there has been no progress at all, this reason.... The concubines also knew. ”

"Don't talk about other places, just talk about the song of the dynasty, of course, there is singing and dancing in this song city, but Your Majesty, what about this song and this song?"

"Sometimes I will hear that there are dragons to haunt people, sometimes it is a fox demon who is causing trouble, or a wolf demon descending the mountain, how many of them are true? ”

As she spoke, Daji sighed worriedly.

Monsters will harm people, this is the concept that has not changed for many years, if there is a bear on the mountain on weekdays, it will be said that it is a bear demon, if the fox steals more chickens, it will be said that it is a fox demon.

Not only that, but there are many people who have done bad things and blamed the monster for the matter, and the problem is really special and some people believe it, this is another innocent account.

In such a situation, what kind of harmony between humans and demons can be talked about?

Isn't this how Daddy Su Hu took office as the Marquis of Jizhou?

Hearing Daji's words, Zishou frowned.

How did he forget Xiao Liu Bei's fundamental purpose of ladyboy harmony and ladyboy love?

The gods and demons are not harmonious, but they are vigorously advocating the coexistence of demons, which is what attracts everyone, including the ministers of the DPRK and China, to oppose and abuse!

In this way, people also scolded, and demons also scolded, it seems that Xiao Liu Bei has to be updated, and the hunting matter has to be re-operated.

Zishou suddenly cheered up and laughed: "Concubine Ai doesn't have to worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, let's put it aside for the time being!"

The nobles on the other side began to lease land.

With the instructions of the king, the nobles let go of their hands and feet, and once these people were unrestrained, they did more than they thought.

It's a pity that they don't know that Zishou ostensibly supports the nobles in leasing land, but in fact, every once in a while, there will be officials from the criminal department who secretly leave Chaoge and go to the people to investigate.

How to lease, where is the leased land, whether the people are satisfied, whether the aristocracy uses means..... No matter how big or small, almost all of them left a criminal record.

Speaking of leasing, Li Jing also knows how many twists and turns, in the early years, there were many nobles who used the method of leasing people's land to take advantage of it, but now it is naturally not so simple.

Then, with the order of "handcuffed and taken away", countless noble servants, and even the children of the clan, were shackled, and under the protection of the Xuanniao Guard, they got into the car and were escorted into the earth.

The nobles were confused and did not know the reason, because the criminal responsibility declared by the Ministry of Punishment was the crime committed by these people earlier.

After all, no ass is clean.

This is not because Li Jing and others do not want to publicly lease land, but because some nobles are doing tricks in the lease contract.

The peasants can recognize the words, but they can't do word games, and they are deceived and sign and draw the pledge, which has legal effect and is really difficult to judge.

For example, Yao Qi, he is a member of the Yao family.

The Yao family thought that they had a relationship with Ziyan with the elegant little Liu Bei and had a certain background, so they did a lot of tricks and feet on the leased land, and the person in charge was him Yao Qi.

After Yao Qi learned that many people had been arrested by the Criminal Department, he ran west without looking back, not to mention the black history of the past, even if it was a greasy thing on the leased land now, it was enough for him to kill his head.

I don't know how long he has been running, he is like a withered tree, and his hair is scattered.

He hadn't slept for many days, and he didn't dare to close his eyes, and when he closed his eyes, it was as if he saw Li Jing's shiny bald head, dazzling and scared.

Is...... Cruelty....

Li Jing... That's a ruthless character who dares to shave even his own hair!

The mountains and rivers are far away, and I am afraid that I will never be able to return to Chaoge again.

Yao Qi's eyes were foggy, and he lost Chaoge's life of wine and meat, and everything seemed to become tasteless.

Only by experiencing the beauty of the song can we know the barrenness of other places.

He rode his horse blankly and continued westward.

His target is Li Cheng, as a member of the Yao family, he can't casually take refuge with other princes, and the foundation of the Yao family is in Chaoge.

But he can't get too close to Chaoge, so Li Cheng is the best choice.

Although Jiang Wenhuan, the county guard of Li County, is fierce, he is very problematic in governance, and his administration is all controlled by aristocratic officials, and those officials dare not do too much because of Jiang Wenhuan's bravery, but it is still no problem to protect one or two people thoroughly.

Facts have proved that Yao Qi's choice is correct, and Li Jing is doing more and more ruthlessly.

As long as it is done on the leased land, first turn over the old accounts and then investigate and deal with it, so that the nobles can be said to be restless and complaining.

Those aristocratic heads who let people lease land have nothing to do but grit their teeth and secretly scold the king for being under the hood.

Li Jing's big bald head told them all the time that there would be no favoritism in front of the law.

Occasionally, the nobles tried to make trouble for a while, only to be arrested with more severe charges.

The Criminal Department has transferred a large number of people to take people and arrest people, and all the nobles involved in leasing land have also been liquidated one by one.

In many cases, Li Jing alone can't do things with a wicked person, and a group of people in the Criminal Department are all wicked people, as well as evil beasts, and the efficiency is quite high.

However, when Zishou went to the criminal department to inspect, he saw a dispute.

One is Li Jing, and the other is the champion of Wenju, Li Sui.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

When the two of them saw that the king was coming, they stopped saluting, and Zishou had not seen the conflict between the officials of the court and China for a long time, and he was a little relieved.

Although the number of officials has increased, and the courtiers also think that these officials are useful, as soon as there are many people, trouble will come, and maybe factions and the like will be formed.

Zishou walked to the top and said unhurriedly: "Why are you two arguing?"
