To be honest, if it had been in the past, even if Zhou Qingdu had been taught in his dream, Liu Cheng, a "sick Taoist" who was just the incense master of Sanxiangze Taiping Sect, would not have understood this teacher's behavior.

What is the purpose of doing it?

But as he enacted laws in Liquan, abided by Tang laws, arranged various general affairs, and regulated the whole county, and cleared out 70% of the wealthy families in Liquan, he also became fully aware of these political methods.

Understand.

From not understanding it at all at the beginning, to having only a little understanding now, I slowly gained a sense of insight into decision-making.

In fact, it is inconceivable that their Taiping Rebel Army has not been encircled and suppressed by a large army for so long, especially in the heart of Chang'an such as Gyeonggi Province.

Yes, those officials can evade the situation step by step and cover up the huge problems that arise under their rule.

But when the wealthy families were tried and purged by Liu Cheng himself, this matter was already a breakthrough. Even if other officials covered it up, they would never be able to stop these wealthy families with close connections.

The desire of these dignitaries to kill the Taiping Rebels is definitely far beyond the understanding of the world.

The mud-legged man stood up and massacred wealthy families. This was not a chaotic time, it was simply a naked rebellion.

These powerful people must be eliminated quickly, and they must use the power of thunder to let everyone in the world know what will happen if they dare to offend the wealthy family.

However, none of these blows came, and Gyeonggi Province's reaction was even slower than everyone expected.

All this shows that the core characters of the Chang'an court were well aware of this Liquan drama and even directed it.

The only unexpected thing is that the main character has changed his appearance, but that doesn't matter, the effect is better now.

But it is very critical whether the character who appears on the stage understands the intentions of the person behind it.

Originally, Chang'an had already made preparations to arrange for some people to come and have close contact with Liu Cheng.

But I didn't expect that such a leader of the rebel army really didn't have any hobbies. Apart from dealing with affairs, he simply ate and practiced, and had no other ideas at all. In addition, when he had free time, he would go to the Yellow Turban warriors to exercise together.

As a result, these people never found a chance to contact Liu Cheng.

But the lack of contact does not mean that no one noticed these people. Zhou Qingdu quickly discovered them and figured out their purpose, so the method he gave was to go straight to the core.

In fact, was the scale of the Taiping Rebellion large? Compared with the huge Tang Dynasty, it was as small as a flea and completely inconspicuous.

In such a vast territory, no one would care about something like this unless it was close to Chang'an.

Datang didn't care that a mere county seat was occupied, but for Datang, you have to bear the retaliation after the city is occupied.

You occupy one of my cities, and I occupy ten of your cities.

You kill one of my people, and I will slaughter your whole city.

This is the reason why the prosperous Tang Dynasty was so fierce and powerful.

To those killers on the border, the thousands of yellow scarf warriors are no different than little chickens. Even if they come up with things like tripping ropes, if they really encounter those killers, they will all be crushed with a single charge.

.

Those lunatics in the northern frontier of the empire, only those who have experienced it can understand what the way of military situation is.

But now that the central court has not responded, and even the troops to protect the capital have not been dispatched, to put it bluntly, some thoughtful people have noticed the Taiping Rebellion, and it may be a test of the imperial power.

Let’s see how much power these aristocratic families near Gyeonggi Province still have.

Now that he has decided to change, Li Longji naturally knows that he must fully control his bottom line.

If the powerful families in Gyeonggi Province and Guannai Province are stronger than the imperial court, then this reform will naturally be nonsense and there is no possibility of success.

But once it is tested that they no longer have much power, then the change begins, expanding outward from the core area.

It will be truly possible to complete a change in Li Longji's heart and truly extend the power of the imperial court to various states.

Only then will he be able to fully control the vast territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, become a generation of holy kings, and achieve a life span of 500 days. This is a great achievement that even the First Emperor has never achieved.

It can be said that because of this huge ambition in his heart, he just sat back and watched as a special existence like Liquan appeared in his capital.

Of course, being able to endure until now is not only because of these plans, but also because of the slogans and actions of the Taiping Religion. In fact, they are not anti-Li Tang, but have a huge relationship with maintaining Li Tang's central rule.

The slogans of the Taiping Rebellion targeted wealthy and aristocratic families. They were the ones Li Longji wanted to take back control of various places, and they were also the key to increasing revenue and reducing expenditure for the current imperial court.

And when they did things, they followed the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and considered themselves to be people of the Tang Dynasty. They even called Li Longji the Holy Emperor. These actions alone made Li Longji feel that these villagers were indeed the emperor.

It’s so painful to be forced.

What the Taiping Rebellion did was not a big problem, but their methods were a bit too ruthless.

Of course, the wealthy families who were purged were also justified and acted in accordance with Tang Law. There were too many people in the land of mermaids and meat, and there was nothing they could do if they did not go beyond the precedents of Tang Law.

Under such a premise, if Liquan pays all the taxes he should pay according to this year's requirements and Tang Law, and because there are too many wealthy families with more land, on the contrary, with the increase in taxes, many

What will happen when the farmers live a better life and are not affected at all?

"Let's take a look at the poor way."

"Open a chapter in troubled times for the world!"

Zhou Qingdu's eyes suddenly felt a bit cold. Li Longji had ambitions to create a career as a holy king, Li Linfu wanted to monopolize the power of the world, Zhang Jiuling wanted to maintain the stability of the world, and the four frontier generals wanted to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty again.

Contribute to your own efforts by becoming a lord.

It’s just that no one looked down to take a look at the people who were already being squeezed to the extreme.

In this case...

So what if this prosperous age is burned down?!

"Since there is endless civil strife and hidden dangers in this world, why not..."

"Reshape it with your own hands!"

For the first time, he showed his domineering and scornful side. Even if he used the old body of Taoist Huang Tian, ​​he was still so deafening.

Liu Cheng's eyes also lit up with fire.

"I already understand what the teacher means."

"What happens next depends on the arrangements of me, the Taiping Rebellion Army Taoist Commander..."

So, under circumstances that no one expected, Liquan, a place that has become a place of intense hatred for many aristocratic families, suddenly struck its first blow at the aristocratic families in the world.
Chapter completed!
