Equally dividing the land

"Nowadays, the people's livelihood in the world is in decline. Many people have no fixed homes and no fields for farming. Even if they receive temporary rations, sooner or later they will become refugees and bandits again. If you want the world to return to peace, you must either get enough fields to distribute to the people. Or keep fighting until the world's population is small enough to divide the land."

Yi Qingchen couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke: "Generally when the world is in chaos, you have to fight until the second situation to end. That is really cruel to the people of the world."

When everyone looked at me, even Shen Luoyan couldn't understand what Yi Qingchen was talking about.

What does the general trend of the world have to do with these stupid people?

Those who can decide the trend of the world should be the leaders of the major forces.

Yi Qingchen retracted his thoughts, and suddenly a strange idea came to his mind.

How about we also learn from the seniors and go through the process of deliberation?

So he said to everyone: "I can't bear to see the people in the world displaced, poor and weak, and I want to allocate land to the refugees. What do you think?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "It's difficult, we don't have much land in our hands, it's not enough to divide it."

All the generals nodded.

The landlord’s family has no surplus food!

The Wagang army attacked the city and captured the territory, seemingly enjoying endless glory.

But every gain must be rewarded to those who have made merit, otherwise these bandits will not care whether you are Li Mi or Zhai Rang, they will still rebel against him.

Therefore, the land owned by the Wagang Army was far from enough to be distributed to all the refugees.

Li Mi said: "Your Highness doesn't know something. The reason why the Wagang Army can develop and grow is closely related to the military order not to disturb the people. After we captured the town, we only took the fields of the court and farmers. For those families with deep roots in the local area, We never interfere with the family, so they all support us, but that’s why we don’t own much land.”

It is a lie to say that there will be no intrusion. The Wagang Army started by robbing wealthy households.

However, the Wagang Army did have an agreement with the big landowners to ensure that the big landowners would not hold them back.

"well said!"

Yi Qingchen clapped his hands and said: "Li Mi is right, we don't have any land in our hands, but those powerful landlords from aristocratic families have a lot of grain fields in their hands. Not only can they not finish the grain, they also have to hoard it and raise the price." , driving the poor people to death."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered that his identity was no longer a working class, so he changed the subject: "But in the final analysis, they robbed the imperial court's wealth. Land, labor, and taxes are all sources of wealth for the imperial court. They stole the imperial court's wealth, and it was extremely difficult for them to steal it." hateful."

This statement is consistent with the identity of Prince Ming.

Li Mi was a little dumbfounded, that was not what he meant.

Yi Qingchen said lightly: "Look, as long as we take the fields from these people and distribute them to the people, we can appease the refugees and turn the rebellious people into good people again."

Xu Shiji said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, the strength of those aristocratic families is intertwined. I don't know how much power is hidden under the surface. I'm afraid they won't hand over the land easily."

Yi Qingchen asked back: "Historical achievements, you have an army of 60,000, Shubao, and Renji each have an army of 30,000. Are you, the army of 120,000, living for nothing?"

The words were not loud, but they shocked everyone's expressions.

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly: "Your Highness is so refreshing. Old Cheng has long disliked those guys!"

Everyone glanced at Cheng Yaojin, thinking that you were the only one who talked too much.

Seeing a group of subordinates who were hesitant and not even remotely worthy of being a famous official, Yi Qingchen gave up the idea of ​​discussing the matter.

This matter can only be done arbitrarily!

Yi Qingchen directly ordered: "Publish a list to declare to the world that those whose family property exceeds one hundred taels per capita or whose farmland exceeds ten acres per capita must donate the extra money and land to the court for distribution to the displaced people."

"What if they don't give?"

Cheng Yaojin asked: "Are we really going to send a large army to suppress it?"

"Colluding with the rebels and providing supplies to the rebels is a crime of conspiracy and the nine tribes should be punished."

Yi Qingchen said leisurely: "Pull your army out. Anyone who dares not to donate their troops will be imprisoned and punished for treason."

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they all bowed to obey.

Yi Qingchen's killing victory was far more terrifying than his tyrannical martial arts.

On that day, a large number of scholars were summoned to copy the edict, and then cavalry were dispatched to every city, town, and village to preach.

Yi Qingchen is a good person and thought it would be best not to kill anyone.

If these aristocratic families and powerful landowners can see the situation clearly and donate their wealth, the remaining portion will be enough for them to live and feed themselves.

If they refuse to give up the profits, they will have no choice but to give up the capital and the profits.

In troubled times, it is never the time to be reasonable.

Yi Qingchen called Shen Luoyan alone and asked, "I have a mission, are you willing to accept it?"

Shen Luoyan was startled and said in a low voice: "The little girl is just a weak woman. From now on, she will wait to marry into the family, and she will no longer have extravagant hopes for the rest."

"Think carefully before answering."

Yi Qingchen said calmly: "I will give you one last chance."

Shen Luoyan thought quickly in his mind, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat and he said, "Please give me your Majesty's instructions. No matter what the task, Luoyan will definitely complete it."

"good!"

A smile overflowed from the corner of Yi Qingchen's mouth: "From today on, you can select suitable talents from the military, civilians and even the imperial court, and re-organize a shadow organization for me to be responsible for assassinations and investigations. I want to monitor the Central Plains.

Can you even grasp the major events happening in all places in the world, including the prairie, the Western Regions, Baiyue, overseas and other places?"

Detecting intelligence and assassinating leaders is Shen Luoyan's job. In addition to serving as a dog-headed strategist in the Wagang Army, this is what she mainly does.

Shen Luoyan's eyes lit up and he said solemnly: "Luoyan will never let down His Highness's trust."

Why does she want to have sex with Li Mi?

Isn't it just because you are conceited about your talents and don't want to be buried among women?

Now that Yi Qingchen has handed over the entire world's intelligence and assassination work to her, it is equivalent to letting her take charge of another large department besides the six departments. If she can handle it well, Shen Luoyan will be one of the most powerful people in the world.

What's more, this task is really challenging.

Shen Luoyan completely forgot about Li Mi and Xu Shiji in an instant, and was determined to complete this task.

Yi Qingchen smiled and nodded: "Remember, the newly formed Shadow Guard belongs to a secret organization. You are only responsible to me. No one else is allowed to inform. Anyone who investigates and finds out will be killed without mercy."

Shen Luoyan nodded repeatedly, feeling awe-struck in his heart.

Ming Wang Taiyi was by no means easy to deal with. He was ruthless and decisive in his actions. Although the idea of ​​equalizing the land seemed a bit naive to her, it was not impossible to suppress it with his peerless force.

The most important thing is that he is really ruthless. Since he started from Jiangdu, he has killed tens of thousands of people in the process of purging Gang Ji.

Who would not fear him like a tiger when he often confiscates his family and exterminates his clan?

"Shiji, I'm sorry."

Shen Luoyan knew in her heart that the result of taking on this task would be to be alone and would never marry Xu Shiji again.

No emperor can tolerate the head of the intelligence department hanging around with others every day.

"Now your first task is to find out the details of those aristocratic families and powerful landlords. You need to find out the fortunes and evil deeds of all of them, and publicize them so that the people will know clearly."

Just as expected.

The first reaction of aristocratic families and powerful landowners is to resist and escape.

Some people unite with similar people to form an army to protect manors and even small castles, while others pack up their belongings and run away to other forces.

Some people did not respond, but put pressure upwards through the Wagang Army.

It is nothing more than stopping the supply of materials, shutting down a large number of officials, and leading the people to rebel.

Yi Qingchen did not rush to deal with it, but kept sending people to collect information and establish evidence of the crime.

The profits from reclaiming the land are huge, and there must be someone who wants to make huge profits from this operation.

What Yi Qingchen had to do was to find out the bottom line first, determine the boundaries of the operation, and then let the army attack.

The military should be the executor, not the decision-maker.

Shen Luoyan moved very quickly. The original spies from the Wagang Army were called in first to collect information quickly.

Then the army came out and ransacked homes everywhere.

Counterattacks followed, resisting the attacks openly and secretly interfering with the army's supply of food, grass and ordnance.

One attack actually put poison into Yi Qingchen's food, causing a mini-orgasm.

The resistance of aristocratic families and powerful landowners not only had no effect, but actually made the implementation of Yi Qingchen's policies smoother.

The army attacked everywhere, ransacking homes and exterminating families.

In the same way as in Luoyang, those who committed the most heinous crimes were beheaded and displayed in public, while the remaining men were sent to death camps and the women were sent to the Jiaofang Department.

The number of fields in Yi Qingchen's hands is growing day by day, but it took more than ten days to raise enough fields for distribution.

At this point, all the aristocratic families around Xingyang were afraid of being killed, and they all sent people to plead with Yi Qingchen.

Even Li Mi ignored the embarrassment of his identity and came to persuade Yi Qingchen to keep his hand.

Li Mi sincerely advised: "Your Highness, from now on the government of the world will rely on people from these aristocratic families. If you offend them, they will be infamy for eternity. I hope Your Highness will think twice."

"I am a Taoist. I only care about peace in this world. Why should I care about my reputation after death?"
